Judge Cox Declines to Order Strong to Produce Certain Papers. , In the Equity Court this morning Judge Cox denied the motion made in the case of Butler agt. Strong for an order requiring the defend- ant to produce certain papers. This motion was argued yesterday by Mr. O. D. Barrett for the complainant and Col. W. A. Cook for de- fendaut, and the object was to have Strong pro- duce certain papers to show that an agreement purporting to have been signed by Gen. Butler is a forgery. ‘The court this morning, in denying the mo- tion, said that the object sought was in effect an attempt to compel @ man to produce evi- dence of his own infamy or guilt, and this was in violation of the rights of a citizen under the Constitution of the United States, and it was beyond the powers of the Equity Court to issue such order. Mr, Barrett said that he would like time to present further argument and authority. Mr. Cook objected to any further proceed- ings, but if any further were proposed he would be prepared. e court said that the case could go over till Saturday. —>__ Sixty Thousand Boy Tramps. “There are 60,000 boy tramps in the United States,” said Mr. Hogeland, the president of the boys’ and girls’ National Home association, at the meeting last night. and he went on to say that he wants a system of registration es- tablished so that boy tramps can be found and sent to the different farmers who are willing | to give them work. Mr, Hogeland gave a erm | forte | deal of the credit for the success of his to the press. Rev. Alex Kent of the Universalist church and Mr. George Baker also addressed the con- vention. io Mr. Bradford introduced a resolution, which was adopted, providin, for the association in this city. ae President Huri tteads a Paper. The annual convention of the street railway presidents of the United States opened in Min- neapolis yesterday. About 100 delegates were in attendance. President Kerper reviewed briefly the wonderful progress made in motive power. The report of the executive commit- tee was then read. In regard to the Knizhts of now closed has seen an almost total collapse of the organization known as the Knights of Labor, so far at least az that portion is con- cerned which attempted to dominate street | railway companies, * * * It is onr earnest desire that there should be established in the street railway business such a community of interest between labor and capital, the em- ployer and employed, that perfect harmony hall reign throughout the length and breadth of this great industry.” “Henry Hurt of Washington read a “A Street Railway Employes’ Mut Society.” ——-—__ Arrexp the Clerks’ Association concert at Willard’s hall Friday night. 25 cents. = Ses Se ANACOSTIA. aper on Benet Crrizexs’ Assoctatiox No. 9 met in the station house last night; present. Messrs. H. A. Linger, H. 8. Petcy, J. N. Minnix. W. Morden King, Dr. Torry, D. T. Johnson. George H. Armstrong, W. J. Latimer, C. F. Walson, J. A. Bede. The committee on schools thought the $7,000 recom- mendation for an addition to the school build- ing ought to be doubled. The committee on roads and bridges recommended block pave- ment for Harrison and Bridge streets in the business portion of the town. There was di cussion on the past and possible future of tl central committee of one hundred, but the mo- tion to elect delegates to it was indefinitely postponed. D. T. Johnson offered an amend- ment toarticle 6 of the by-laws to the effect that the only expense to members shall be the 25 cents admission fee except when the associ: tion is in need of funds. On motion of Charles Barker, himself, George H. Armstrong and J. N. Minnix were appointed a committee to look after legislation. Mr. Armstrong offered secession amendment to article 1 of the con: tution changing the name to “Eastern District citizens association of the District of Colum- bia.” The legislative committee was instructed to ask that the office of superintendent of county roads be abolished. There was one dis- senting vote. President Linger announced the following committees for the ensuing year: For streets, roads and bridges: J. E. Hailey, Dr. ‘Torrey, A. M. Green, J. E.

MAYBRICK IN PRISON. Her Routine of Life While Serving Her Sentence in London. From the Pall Mall Gazette. Mrs. Maybrick—almost forgotten now—is doing her nine months of solitary confinement, and daily does an allotted task of needlework. Those who follow the wretched woman's career as it may be studied from time to time by the prison bulletins will learn with interest that there is considerable thought as to dress in this prison, and as befits a lady’s establish- ment. Even im prison, according to Mr. F. W. Robinson, s variety of toilets is customary. There is the probation class, in which women for the first nine months wear aliac cotton skirt in summer, witha blue bodice, a square of serge for the shoulders, check blue and white apron, small white linen cap with goffered border, and a plain, un- trimmed, coarse white straw bonnet of what is termed the “‘cottage shape,” and a very hideous shape, to our masculine mind, it pore to be. On Sundays white aprons and neckerchiefs are worn. In winter the lilac dress is ee by a thick blue serge, with a neckerchief of the same material, and a thick, fawn-colored cir- cular cape is also allowed for the shoulders, In the second nine months the prisoner is a woman of the third clase, and wears in summer aplain blue cotton skirt with stripes, and a square of brown serge for the shoul ‘The bonnet and linen cap remain the same in style, or dis hed, asit may be. for want of style, and white aprons and neckerchiefs again smarten up the women on the Sabbath. winter the third class women wear brown serge dresses and fawn-colored capes. In the third nine months a female convict becomes a woman of the second class, and is allowed the distinction of wearing a full blue cotton skirt with white spots, a blouse bodice of the same material and a square of green serge for the shoulders, In winter she wears a thick green serge gown, the other details of dress being the same as in the preceding class. In the fourth period of nine months she becomes a woman of the first class, with little if any distinction from the second, and this remains till she is within nine months of the expiration of the sentence, when—happy time for the fe- | male convict, with liberty so close at hand | again—she is’ dubbed a woman of the special | class. Two children of Mrs. Maybrick have. by | the consent of their deceased father's brothers and of the Baroness Von Rogue, their grand- mother, been adopted by a lady and gentleman | in London who are in good circumstances and | who will see to their maintenance and educa- | tion. The children (boy and girl) will assume the names of their foster parents, and thus, it | is hoped, in future life escape the stain attach- ing to the name of their mother. soe A HAUNTED MILL. Citizens of Laurel, Md., Scared by Mys- terious Lights, Screams and Moans. From the Laurel Advertiser. Up on Main street, on the south side, stands @ massive stone structure, which in years gone | by was peopled with hundreds of busy hands | engaged in the manufacture of implements for the use of man, The building, which is five stories in height and 130 feet deep by 50 in| width, stands alone in the middle of a large | plat of ground, thus having an isolated and lonely appearance. Last Satusday evening about 10 o'clock some one standing near Duvall & Co.’s store heard agonizing groans in the direction of this old building and a light was discovered in one of the upper stories. Several people had been attracted te the spot by the light, which shone | brightly from the pancless windows, for it was | | known by every school boy in town. that the old building had long since been abandoned | and no hope of its ever again being inhabited was indulged in even by the owner. ‘The light, | however, was there, which in itself was sufi- | cient to attract attention, but when a moan, followed by screams of agony, saluted the ears of the listeners there was astonishment and j fear depicted upon their countenances. What could it mean? Had tramps taken possession some horrible deed of murder? The screams | | fell gradually to peculiar moans, such as might | be expected to emanate from some human being who was fast breathing out his life from some mortal and sudden hurt. The sound of hurried footsteps descending the old, creaky | stairs was plainly heard by the attentive listen- | ers on the sidewalk, but no person was seen to leave the building, which was closely watched, | | After the disappearance of the light in the upper rooms of the building and the hush of the ghostly sounds which had penetrated its ve walls to the spectators on the side- waik a few of the stouter-hearted present en- tered and diligently explored every nook and corner, but no presence of earthly inhabitants rewarded their search. ‘he old building had resumed its wonted quietness and the dangling webs of the busy insects which had for years | and years made It their home were the only signs that life, even in its primitive form, held sway within its desolate walls.

C “THAT SETTLES IT.” How a Hotel Clerk Took Fanny Dav- enport’s Refusal. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. Tuesday night, just as the curtain went up on the second scene of “Hamlet,” a gentleman in evening dress, whose fierce mustache and goatee suggested proclivities marched down the right aisleof the Opera house parquet toa front seat, sat down, and then, with avery fierce expression upon his face, strode up the aisle again into the foyer and out of the theater, A gentleman who saw this singular performance said to me: “That reminds me of an incident which took place in this very theater about a dozen years ago. It was while Fanny Davenport was playing am en- gagement here. A young man,who was a clerk at the Union Depot hotel, after a rather lively priming with the boys went to the Opera house. He was a good looking fellow with a black moustache, and the figure he cut that night was given color by his new light overcoat and high silk hat. By the time he reached the theater it was pretty full, so was he. But he | bought a ticket for a parquet seat right down front and with tolerably steady steps he made his way to it. It was in the middle of a scene. What the play wasI don’t remember. As he reached his seat and was divesting himself of his loud overcoat Fanny Davenport came down the stage to the footlights and said to the vil- lain who was courting her, but with her eyes 3 the audience: ‘can never love thee!” oe In| it with great emphasis, and the handsome clerk arose from his seat, took up his hat and overcoat, and saying in a loud weak ‘Well, that settles it,’ retraced his steps up the aisle, while the audience burst into aroar of laughter and applause,” . ——__—_+e+______ The Story Longfellow Told to Dickens. From the Philadelphia Record. To Wilkie Collins, from New York, under date of January 12, 1868, Mr. Dickens writes: “Being in Boston last Sunday I took it into my head to go over the medical school and survey the holes and corners in which that extraordi- nary murder was done by Webster. There was the furnace and all the grim spouts and sinks and chemical appliances and what not. At dinner afterward Longfellow told@me a terrific story. He dined with Webster within a year of the murder, one of a party of ten or twelve. As they sat at their wine Webster suddenly ordered the lights turned out anda bowl of some burning material to be placed on the table that the guests might see how ghostly it made them look. As each map stared at the rest in the weird light all were horror stricken to see Webster, with a rope around his neck, holding it up over the bowl. with hie head jerked on one side and his tongue lolled out, representing a man being hanged!” a The Latest Slang. From the New York Sun, The latest slang? Yes, but you musn’t call it that. In conversation it’s “le dernier cri.” You abhor a “pretty dress,” you wear “‘e fetch- ing gown.” Your hat with its black birds upon it is not “stylish,” it is “swagger,” and you are not acquainted with fashionable people, but know all the “swells.” You no longer hate a man, you simply ‘‘don’t like him alittle bit.” You are not in society, but “in the swim,” and nothing succeeds, but it “goes” You don't cry when a friend goes away, but you announce that you are ‘weak enough tobiubber.” What would our grandmothers have said? oo At Ithaca, N.Y., Pearl Scott, a girl fifteen years old, isin jail for burning her father’s barn, She says she set fire to the barn hoping to burn the house and roast her father and brother, both of whom, she says, have treated her cruelly, ———_—_—_—— Sick Heavacuz Isa very distressing affection. generally arising from stomach troubles, biliousness and dyspepsia, and we frequently find persons of both sexes subject to peri- odic headaches for which they can ascribe no direct cause.

LANS BURCH THE EVENING STAR ts a PAPER OF TO-DAY, not of YESTERDAY nor of LAST WEEK. It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreign, LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS. This is conspicuously true of all classes of news, but especially so in regard to Local News and District Affairs. THE STAR has a very much LARGER and BETTER force of LOCAL RE- PORTERS and SPECIAL WRITERS than any other paper in Washingtoa ever thought of employing, and ITS MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND PRINTING FACILITE ARE MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER- FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. It is therefore able to print each day a full report of every transaction of public ine | terest occurring in the District up te the very hour of going to press. ——=08t By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES: for REGULAR AND SPECIAL DIS- PATCHES, and with the difference of time in its favor, it is also able to give its readers every afternoon the news of the WHOLE EASTERN HEMISPHERE for the entire day, and up to 12 o'clock midnight, thus leaving literally nothing in the way of news from Europe, Asia, and Africa for the morning papers. ——— Equally does THE STAR lead all its contemporaries in the publication of the NEWS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Afsociations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic cor- respondents at all important points; and with wires leading directly from its own office to the general network of telegraph system touching every city, town and hamlet in the United States and Terri- tories, it is enabled to receive and print atonce a full report of every event of consequence occurring during the day anywhere between the Atlantic and Pas cific Oceans. —0:—— @ NOTE THE RESULT: 2 THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRIBERS and MORE THAN BIVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON. It ts de- livered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE TAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVEKY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. They know that it prints all the news, and has only the interests of the people of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They know it, in short, tobe THK PEOPLE’S PAPER, and nothing else. Asan ADVERTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSU- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. it is in fact worth more as a means of reach= ing the public THAN ALL THE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGELHER, Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives its patrous, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARK THE CHEAPES® iN THE CITY. ——93 ——— In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE STAK does not rely upon empty boasts to impress the public. ITS CIRCULA-. TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which few papers invite, and which those that boast most are least able to stand. —:o:—— © The esteem in which THE STAB is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively shown by the fig- “ures given below. In the first six months of each of the five years named the average daily cir- culation of the paper was: 24,382 “ -25,702 “ “ “ Equally significant is the showing ta regard to the advertising patronage of the paper, which is the surest indication of its acknowledged value as a medium of publicity.
