When Baby Benjamin Harrison McKee was lifted out of a closed carriage this morning at the main door of the circus by Grandpa Harri- son Capt. Dinsmore’s watch said that it was just about a minute past 10 o'clock. Capt. Dinsmore, who took charge of the presidential party, helped Mrs. Harrison out of the vehicle and lent a hand likewise to Baby McKee’s nurse, who brought up the rear of the distinguished group of visitors from the White House as they filed through the entrance to the menagerie tent, the chains being taken down by respectful attendants to let them pass. Quite acrowd gathered about the tent door, surprised to see the President—for the fact that he was expected had been kept a re- ligious secret. The earth floor of the menagerie depart- ment—only last night a lake of mud and water—had been made dry by liberal applica- tions of sawdust, than which no readily-ob- tainable substance is better calculated to ab- sorb moisture. So Buby McKee, bis grand- parents, Capt. Dinsmore and the nurse WERE ABLE TO WALK DRY sioD, However, young Benjamin Harrison McKee had come prepared for bad weather, and wore high shoes, rubbers and a warm blue jacket. He looked strong and hearty. The people at the circus, by the way. were decidedly su prised to see him, having made up their minds that the morning was too wet. But it was the baby’s last chance to view the animals and it had to be taken advantage of. So Capt. Dinsmore took Buby McKee in his arms and the presidential party proceeded to view the strange beasts in the menagerie tent. ‘The most important guest did not make any remarks, but his expression of infantile satis- faction was unmistakable as he glanced, to be- gin with,at the giraffe. The zebras appcared to give pleasure to the baby, though—like most people—he did not distinguish the only real zebra ever exhibited in this country, valued at 33,000, from the four other zebras, which are only quaggas. It is worth mentioning. by-the- by, that the zebra is only to be superticially dis- he thought the prosecuting attorney for the government should hear the evidence in the case of August Bohn, who was charged with keeping his bar open on Sunday. The defen- dant keeps a saloon at 14th and Maryland ave- nue northeast, and he was charged by Police- man Pearson with a violation of the Sunday law two weeks ago. The first witness called was Matthew Kent, who is eraployed aa a watchman in charge of the chain gang. He testified that on the Sun- day charged he, with James Barrett and Lemuel Seamaker, went to the place of the defendant. They went through the gate and entered the saloon, They had a round of beers, he said, and he thought that they were paid for by Seamaker. Before leaving he sug- (an another round of beersand he settled the ill, Lawyer Shillington cross-examined him to show that he (Kent) had been trying to make whisky cases in that section, but he did not succeed in proving it by the witness. Counsel then asked him if he was not after j ‘‘does not say that Keut did @ promotion, and he answered that such action would be very acceptable to him, “That man was not in the place,” remarked counsel, ‘and I think the other witnesses will so testify,” Lemuel Seamaker was the next witness called and he created a surprise by making a denial of Kent's testimony. He said that they only got as far as the gate, There he said they met Bohn, who refused them, Then it was that Judge Miller said some one had committed perjury and the attorney should hear the evidence. James Rarrett was called and he corroborated Seamaker’s evidence, The judge recalled Watchman Kent, and he again described his visit to Bohn’s place, and declared that he had told the whole truth. Judge Miller again referred to the evidence of the witnesses and said that perjury had been committed either by one or two persons, “It's # sin and a shame,” said the court, “that peo- le will come in here and take an oath on the rg and then can’t contine themselves to the truth.” ‘The judge discussed the evidence and said he would have to dismiss the case, “But this dismissal,” explained the judge, | ot purchase beer | tinguished from the quagga by the fact that his stripes continue down on his legs, instead of stopping at the flanks, IMPRESSED BY THE ELEPHANTS. Baby McKee was unquestionably impressed by the elephants, Capt Dinsmore having be- come satistied by this time that the ground was dry put him down to walk by himself, and an attendant gave him a bag of peanuts with which to feed Tom Thumb, the bavy elephant. Baby McKee exhibited some timidity when Tom Thumb extended his trunk for the nuts, but he braced up his courage and held them out one ata time on his little palm until Tom Thumb had eaten five or six, which should have been a fair meal for so undersized an elephant. It was suggested that the baby should take ride on the elephant, but Mrs, Harrison thought she would rather not. All this time the employes in the menagerie tent were kept at work, in order that they should not be tempted to stare at the guests of the show. Baby McKee saw the hippopotamus, the rhinoceros, the bears and the monk Finally he came to the big musical instrument that is played with sticks by three men; it was started up for his benefit and he seemed to like it. The “illusions,” im which people appear without any bodies, he did not quite uuder- stand, THE KANGAROO FAVORED, Of all the beasts in cages he liked best the female kangaroo with the young one in her pouch, After the lions, tigers, camels and many other strange creatures had been viewed, the baby found himself once more at the point of the ellipse where he began. He gazed ad- miringly upon the ponies, and for his benefit the ony }—the pet of the show—was trotted out for him to ride upon, So Capt. Dinsmore put him on the back of the colt, which is six months old and ever so tiny, and held him there while the party went around the ellipse a second time and once more reviewed the animals. As they went along an attendant explained to Baby McKee the points about the various beasts. Finally the visitors took a brief look into the big cireus tent from the entrance. bey did not ¢ far in, because all the ground was a bog, but the show people said it would be as dry as ary could ve by this afternoon. Men were wip- ing off the moist benches with mops of str: Then Baby McKee and the presidential party took their departure, the whole visit having occupied about half an hour, —————_— THE BUCKET SHOP COLLAPSE. The Final Closing of Doran & Wright’s Agency Here. Doran & Wright of Pittsburg and New York, the largest bucket shop operators in the coun- try, went under finally and completely yester- day, as stated in Tue Stan's dispatches; after making a hard but unsuccessful fight for the last mouth to keep up. On the 15th of last month it was known in this city that the firm was in fiuancial straits and was endeavoring to settle all outsta ey obligations with notes at thirty, sixty and nigety days, The firm has a large branch office in this city, in charge of Mr. M. J. Kain, the southern manager for the house. The Washington branch has had full charge of all the business of the firm south of Philadelphia, and has bad a large establish- ment on F street with a heavy pay roll, AT THE OFFICE TODAY a decidedly gloomy feeling prevailed. On the desk is exposed a long telegram from the oftice expressing the sincere regret of Messrs. Doran & Wright at the necessity they labor under of having to go by the board beyoud any immediate hope of recall, One or two speculatore were around the office, but they Were not many, for ithas been thought for some time that the firm would go and investors have been getting out as fast as possible. The losses in this _ city will probably not amount to more than $2,500. It is through New York state and some parts of the south that the losses will fall the heavi- est. In this city the ‘ firm’s notes have been taken as payment in new deals and a great part of the further losses of the firm on these deals have been paid in cash by their eut here. He has received no remittances from headquarters for a good while, and hav- ing exhausted all resources in sight has been obliged to quit, also a heavy loser, AN UNLUCKY SPRING. It looks as though the speculators have been hitting the bucket shops pretty hard th spring. A Sran reporter asked a broker this morning how long it would be before the rest of the bucket shops would have to go. “Kindly tell me,” said he, “if you can, how many are left still to go?" pets = 2 AR An Idaho Wife Divorced.

An Old Telegraph Operator Tells About a Curious Blunder. “Yes,” said the old telegraph operator to a Srar reporter the ether evening, ‘we make lots of funnyblunders, The oddest one I had any- thing to do with occurred back in 1862 when I was more frisky and more nervous than I am now. I was in the main office of the Western Union at Philadelphia when I received a mes- sage from the Willard’s Hotel office in this city from a butcher desiring some one out west to ‘ship twenty cattle by fast freight.” The message had to be repeated to the west from our office and the sending operator returned it to me with a query, ‘Shouldn't that be ele- phants?’ It seems that in receiving the mes- sage I had transposed the telegraphic charac- ters for ‘cattle’ into ‘camels,’ If you don't believe me, ask James Elverson now living somewhere in the west end of town, He was the sending operator at Wiljard’s,” genteel AN USHER AND A SENATOR. A Colored Circus Employe Fined for Assault and Profanity. Wm, Lemoyne, a colored man wearing the uniform of a circus employe, was behind the bars at the Police Court today charged with assaulting Geo. B, Eustis, son of Senator Eustis, and also with using profane language, Lemoyne was employed as an usher at the circus last night, and the alleged assault was committed just in front of the reserved seats, The Senator's son entered the section in which seats were reserved and Lemoyne asked him to show his tickets, The tickets were not forth- coming, and a war of words between them followed, im which Lemoyne, it is charged, made use of profane language. During the discussion, according to the testimony offered against him in court today, Lemoyne took hold of young Eustis several times, aud that is what constituted the assault charged. ‘The offensive language used by Lemoyne at- tracted the Senator to them and he said to the colored man, “You must not use such out- rageous language in the presence of ladies.” “Who the hell are you?” asked the negro of the Senator, “I don't care a — for you.” “Til report you to Mr. Barnum,” said the Senator, to which the colored usher replied, “I don't care for Mr. Barnum.” ‘This was the story substantially as told by the Senator and his son this morning, but the defendant made a denial. He accused young Mr. Eustis of having used the first bad lan- guage and said he referred to himas ad nigger,” and threatened to knock his d—— head off.” Judge Miller, in disposing of the case, said that Mr. Barnum would do weil to get a man who better understands his business, he trouble,” said the judge, ‘is that these circus men think that the people they have to deal with are all like themselves, but they sometimes make a mistake, as in this case.” ‘or the assault a fine of $20 and for the dis- orderly conduct a fine of #10 was imposed. In default of the fines the prisoner will have to serve three months. —$—$——__ THE B. AND O. PLANS. A Reported Purchase of Land on the River Above Georgetown. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has recently, it is said, made a purchase of real estate which has given rise toa good deal of speculation as to its future plans, Itis reported that the company has bought the Freeman tract of land, which is near the Chain Bridge, on the Conduit road between the receiving and distributing reservoirs, Itis thought that this purchase forms a part of a comprehensive scheme to se- cure southern connections for the Baltimore and Ohio system at this city, This scheme in- cludes the building of a road from some point on the Metropolitan branch in the vicinity of Knowles station in a westerly direction through Montgomery county and then iuto the District to the Chain Bridge and the new property re- cently acquired by the road. It is also said that a bridge will be erected across the river at this point and thence a road will be built along the Virginia shore to Alexandria or to some pitce where a connection can be made with the tichmond and Danville system. It is said that the recent cfforts reported to have been made tosecure the transfer of a large block of the Baltimore and Ohio stock to the Richmond ‘Terminal Company is a part of this general scheme, which will give both roads important connections, It is also said that the building of this branch will be followed by the building of a road along this side of the river to George- town, thus giving the Baltimore and Ohio Com- pany & direct connection between the coal elds about Cumberland and tide water at this city. een mater MERIDIAN HILL AROUSED. Lot Owners Appoint a Committee to See the Commissioners. A mocting of Meridian Hill lot owners was held in the Fleming building last night. Dr. J.T. Sowers was elected chairman and, the meeting was addressed by ex-Senator Hender- son, Dr. A. P. Fardon, Mc. H. W. Coffia, Maj, Dubois, Mr. Geo, W. Linkins, B. W. Holman and others, and the grievances of the Meridian Hill property owners set forth in strong lan- guage. It was complained that the ground bad been taxed by the foot for over a quarter of a century and no improvements by the District Commissioners had ever been made in the sub- division and no appropriation ever made by Congress for the benefit of the proustty. A committee consisting of Gen, Henderson, A. P, Pardon, H. W. Coftin, Geo. W. Linkins and Maj. Dubois was appointed to visit the District Commissioners with the view of obtaining some definite information from them as to their intentions regarding this one of the oldest subdivisions in the District.

Ingram, Chas, M. Looilier, Webb ©. Wilkinson, Youna TAKE—THE INVESTIGATION BY! POST OFFICE IN- SPECTOR JACOBS AND THE RESULT. Not long ago the postmaster at Boston, a small town in Culpeper county, Va., received a letter which bore a handsome letter head upon it. This was to evidence the alleged fact that the letter came from the office of a mineral land investment and improvement company, of which a certain Mr. Smith was put down in the letter head as the president. A few other gentlemen with rather commonplace names were also referred to as officers in the com- pany. The letter was to inform the postmas- ter that the firm was on the lookout for invest- ments in mineral lands in the neighborhood of Boston. He was asked to act ina manner as their local agent, and was told that he or bis friends would be well paid for any information they might furnish in the future as to land in the neighborhood. Strict secrecy was en- joined upon him, for if news ever got out that a heavy firm was contemplating pur- chases of real estate there would, of caurse, be a boom at once and prices would go soaring skywards, He was further informed that the firm would probably have a very heavy mail arrive at the Boston post office, and in this event he was requested to forward it to certain addresses which Would be furnished him at the proper time or else to keep it until an agent or member of the firm could find it convenient to call for it, ANOTHER CIRCULAR. About this time circulars were sent ont through the country to the effect that a fine quality of counterfeft moncy, or “green goods,” so cleverly made as to dety detection could be hadatareal bargain by addressing a letter containing a smali amount of genuine money to a certain firm in Boston or Culpeper, Va. The connection is obvious. ‘The investment firm dealt in counterfeits, This fact the Post Office officials soon learned and at once took steps to put a stop to the business with the result that young Frederick Miller of this city is now in jail in Alexandria.

THE INVESTIGATION AND PURSUIT. For some time past Inspector Jacobs has been shadowing Miller and a companion of his until he felt sure he had the right man and also sufficient evidence in his possession to make things interesting. Early yesterday morning he sent a telegram tothe chief of police in Alexandria saying, “have officers mect the Vir- ginia Midland train at 8:20 a.m, and arrest two men I shall poiut out.” Lieut. James Smith of the Alexandria force was given the assignment and he was on hand promptly as the train pulled into his town. In- xpector Jacobs pomted to two men and re- quested their arrest. The two men who were really wanted had changed their seats a few minutes beforehand and as the two young men who were first spoken to turned it was seen that there was some mistake. Messrs, Smith and Jacobs noticed two men mov- ing toward the end of the train as though endeavoring to leaue through the sleeping car. Inspector Jacobs caught one of them by the arm and arrested him, It was as he.thought. The young man was Frederick Miller, a son of ex-Detective Miller, The other man made good his ese: Miller at first acted as though he would give trouble, but he finally consented to go along peaceably, He was searched and on him was found a ri volver, some money anda circular signed by ith, Boston, Va., stating that he would furnish counterfeit moncy in any quantity to proper persons for a suitable consideration, It 1s thought that some of his business was car- ried on in this city also. COMMITTED TO JAIL Yesterday afternoon Miller was taken before Commissioner Fowler and charged with using the mail for fraudulent purposes, He was committed to jail in default of $2,000 bail. Miller is a ‘good looking young fellow and is well known in this city, where he is said to have been living rather a fast life. He has been married twice. He was divorced from his first wife about two years ago and eloped with another young lady of this city about seven months ago, His second experi- ence in married life is said to have been rather pleasanter than the first, but there is certainly a cloud over it just now. MILLER SAYS IT IS A MISTAKE. Miller was seen by aSrar reporter at the jail this morning and says he has been ar- rested by mistake. He claims that a great outrage has been committed by putting him in jail. “Once before,” said he, “they said L had gone off with Silébtt” and I never even suw the man. I came down the Mid- land road yesterday and on the way took a alongside of a — lady who had a child with her that she was taking to the circus in Washington, I told her about the way and kept in conversation with her until we reached Alexandria, where the polic boarded the train. They first arrested severa others, but let them go, and then came to me and by order of the post office inspector I was arrested. They found no papers on me at ull: nothing but my watch and $15 and a pistol, The man they were looking for was named S. Wz Miller. It is alla mistake, and [ expect to get out on bail today.” Miller's companion in the trouble had not been arrested this morn- ing, but he is being searched for pretty thoroughly. oe Children’s Hospital Benefit.
