Jobn Arnold and John Manning were found sleeping in a box-car last night by Officer Green, They were given 60 di ragrants by Judge Miller today. Who Wrote the Letter? Judge Miller conducted @ class in penman- ship in the Police Court this morning. his pupils being George Lucas, a young colored man, and Julia Robinson, a colored girl. George was on trial charged with obtaining furniture from the girl by false pretenses, The girl told ber story of how George got the furm- ture. and then Mr. Carrington read the follow- ing letter: “Dear George: I take the pleasure in writ- ing you a few fines to let you know that I am ‘well and also doing well. I hope when these few lines reach you they may find you well. I sent for you when I was sick, You Seut word thit you was coming to see me and you nevercame. I heard that you said the Feason you did not come because I say I was pecial each | going to have youturn out of the church. * * George. 1 love you and always did and you don’t ‘think anything of me. I am sorry for what J said to you. Fook for you to- Brorrow night at bulf-past 6 o'clock. This is all lhave to say. Good bye, Darling George. From Miss Juni Ronson.” ‘The girl denied that she wrote the lotter, but George insisted that she did. Handwritings were compared aud the judge thought that George wrote the letter himself, but on the evidence the case had to be dismissed. = Marines Sign the Pledge. An enthusiastic meeting was held last even- fmg in the music hall at the Marine Barracks under the supervision of Miss L. H. Chase, superintendent of the Army Corps Department of the N.P. the purpose of organizing a Marine Temper- ance Union. The organization started with twenty-five charter members and forty who VANDALISM AT THE MONUMENT. A Newspaper Man Who Ought to Know | Damage to Seventh Street Stores—A Better. At8 am. Wednesday a man who gave his name as Wesley Bell and said he was a Dela- ware newspaper man was arrested by Special Officer J. B. Evans for chipping off mementoes from the base of the monument on the outside. He put up $25 collateral, which he forfeited and has not been seen since. It seems almost impossible to impress upon the visiting public that there has been no act of Congress author- izing the removal of the monument or any of the public buildings to Delaware or elsewhere on the installment plan. Officer Evans, who is on duty at the monument, not wishing to have it whittled down so early in the morning sur- prised the vandel journalist by taking him into court. It is understood Mr. Bell has gone home and will induce the Delaware press here- after to speak of the father of his country as plain G. ‘ington. pct Mee ee Maltby G. Lane’s Will Overthrown. A jury in New York yesterday rendered a verdict breaking the wilt of the late Maltby G. Lane, who died last July, aged seventy-six, leaving an estate valued at 21,000,000, which in- cluded the hotel Maltby and other real estate in this city. The will which was contested substantially Jeft the whole estate to his second wife whom he had married ten months before his death. The jury found that the will was executed according to law, but that Lane was not of sound mind at the time, and did not possess testamentary capacity. They also found that the will was not the free, unre- strained, and voluntary act of Maltby G. Lane. Under this verdict the widow will have to take the part of the estate allowed to her by Jaw, and the other heirs-at-law will share the residue. It was shown in the trial that before his marriage with Mrs. Ellen D, Graham, now his widow, he had made offers of marriaze to many other widows. He was a very eccentric and erratic man, and died just after sigaing his will in his lawyer's offic aaa The Wife’s Answer in a Divorce Case. In the case of Wm. H. Curtis against Sallie W Curtis for a divorce, filed a few weeks since, the wife today filed an answer, a petition for alimony and # cross bill, all through Messrs. F. W. Jones and $8. C. Mills. The charge in the bill is desertion and infidelity. The wife de- nies that there was any desertion on her part, and says he left her several times, and finally, in March, 1889, he placed her in a house he said he bad bought, and then wrote her that “after thinkiug matters over I have concluded we couldn't live together again,” e that ehe should not a1 mits that he left her March 19, 1889, but says it was not on account of her immorality, but be- cause of Ins immorality. She denies the charges of adultery and charges him with that offense. In the cross bill she sets forth the marriage September 7, 1887, at Rockville, Md., she being the widow of j. Horace H. Willard, with two children, and that she was at the time re- ceiving a pension, which ceased at the mar- riage. She states that intwo weeks she dis- covered her mistake; that the complainant's principal object was to get the property, and that he was illiterate and not able to read or write. She states that he left for North Caro- lina in 1888 and on returning she learved him to read and write so that he could make out his application for an appointment on the police force. She states that be quarreiled about the children not working and with the vervant and she was compelled to discharge her and do the famiiy work, when she was taken sick, She then states that the family expenses were paid out of her means; that about May 1, 1889 he took up with another woman. She states that he owns property worth 3,000 and is a private on the police force. —$———__— Mr. Grosvenor and the G. A. R. A press dispatch from Cincinnati says the Ohio Grand Army Encampment yesterday con- firmed the selections made by the various posts of delegates to next October's national em- campment, with two exceptions. The names of Congressmen M. M. Boothman of the sixth district and Charles Grosvenor of the fifteenth were stricken from the list by popular votes, principally becanse they are congressional rep- resentatives. There is a general feeling against permitting such to act as delegates. It is also stated by several delegates that Gen. Grosvenor is not so active in the interests of the G.AR. as he might be. ——_—_ Transfers of Real Estate. Deeds in fee have been filed as follows: Emma Reynolds to G. W.

At 12:20 o’clock this morning Officer Hagner and Special Roseway, while standing at the cosner of 7th and D streets northwest, noticed flame and smoke shoot up behind the large three-story building on the east side of 7th street above D, and rung in an alarm from box 125. The fire departmentresponded promptly. The light-from the fire was then shining through the store windows of H. Reitzenstein, 405 and 407 7th street. The firemen entered, and the fire, which was found to be inthe rear part of the store, was at onceattacked. The flames had, bowever, burned through to the stories, above occupied by Christian Ruppert, and had also spread to the rear of the premises of Fritz Freddy (restaurant), 643 D street, and W. H.

This morning about 2 o'clock Policeman Boyce of the first precinct found a small col- ored boy sleeping in a dry goods box near Pennsylvania avenue and 9th street, The lad was barefooted and his clothing was wholly in- sufficient to protect him from the weather, When taken to the station he gave his name as Thos. Hallett, His father, he said, was named Hauk and his mother was Miss Bowie. As no one appeared in the boy's belalf the ofticer took him *o the Police Court this morning and charged him with vagrancy in order to give him & home. “Where do you live?” asked the judge of the youthful prisoner, “In Proctor’s alley,” he replied, “What does your father do?” “He carries the hod.” “What were you doing outso late last night?” “My mother kept mein the house all day and Iran out at night.” The judge ordered him to be held until his parents could ve notified. Agent Key and the Mule Driver. John Courtney, colored. drives a coal cart for Kennedy Pros., coal dealers at Delaware avenue and H street. Several days ago he drove out of the yardand Agent Key of the Humane Society stopped his mule to examine it, as he thought the animal was unfit for work. The driver and the agent had some words and the latter struck the formeron the hand with his pistol. A warrant was sworn out by the colored driver and Agent Key was tried in the Police Court this morning on a charge of as- sault, Judge Miller heard the evidence on both sides and inguired of Agent Key: “Do you claim that you have the right to stop vehicles and examine animals on the streets?” “Only when complaint is made,” replied — Key, “or when the animal! shows signs of cruelty.” Judge Miller said that when a man wearing a black suit of clothes and a silk hat stops a team there is likely to be trouble. A man seeing an- other man not in the uniform of an officer stop his team is not likely to submit quietly. The judge thought that Mr. Key's zeal was com- mendable, but it should be controlled with wise discretion, As an ofticer he is entitled to make an arrest withont interference. ‘The court did not think that the charge of assault had been fully established and dismissed the case. a Tur Lrrrie Parer heretofore knownas “The Capitol Diagram” will appear after today as the *-Government Official,” and wiil consist of eight pages. instead of four, as formerly.
