MYSTERIOUS VISITORS. They Make the Lives of Mr. Childs and His Family a Burden tu Them. CHEY BANG THE SHUTTERS AND BOMBARD THE MOUSE AND MAKE THEMSELVES OTHERWISE DISAGREEABLE, BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN GEER IN SPITE OF EFFOR«(S TO SURPRISE THEM, Mr. Joseph S. Childs, who lives near Linden, Montgomery county, Md., is still troubled, as has been for some time, by mysterious mid- night visitors who make their presence known by calls for himself or his son and by rapping on the shutters and doora, So far as Mr. Childs and his family are concerned the affair has lost all appearances of being in the alight- estdegree funny. The affair has a serious side to it and if some nocturnal shatter banger finds himself heavier by the addition of several ounces of lead he will have nothing to complain of. The persecution has been continuous now for over two weeks and shows no signs of stopping. CALLED ovr. Two weeks ago Mr. Childs was awakened about 12 o’clock p.m. by some one calling loudly for him to come out. He dressed and went to the door, but only found a» large amount of chilly fall wind and nothing more. Soveral times that night he was aroused in a similar manner. This was the beginning and ince then every night has witnessed the arrival of the unwelcome visitors. Lately they bi taken to calling on Mr. Will Childs instead of his father. Some nights they content them- selves with standing some distance off and calling. At other times they bang on the shut- ters and doors and bombard the house with stones. The visitors are literary, too, and have 8 pleasant little way of leaving notes around the yard and stables, SIGNED “(WHITE CAPs,” and offering wagers that Jack the Ripper will yet get the best of the Childs’ family and their friends. In the house are Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Childs and Mr. Will Childs and his young wife. Both Mr. Childs aud his son are very popular throughout the county and no reason can be given for the disturbance of their peace. One rather mysterious part of the affair is that the are a number of large and fierce dogs kept at the Childs place, but these animals seem not to pay the slightest attention to the nightly visit- ors. And, again, in spite of ambushes, sorties and other attempts at surprises no one has been able ever to catch a glimpse of the mysterious strangers. They seem to have their fun and then —_ Two different voices ha been plainly distinguished and all who ha heard them are of opinion that the manipu- * lators are white and not colored men, THE REPORTER AND THE DOGS. Monday night when a Sraz reporter drove up to Mr. Child’s house he thought about a million dogs had broken loose, Thoy were not little dogs either, but large and massive canines, with barks something between the noise made by a steam calliope and the roaring of a bull when he sees a red parasol, If Tae Sram re- ter were’s ghost or anything of that kind Ee would seek out some place to haunt where they keep smailer dogs than does Mr. Childs. The house was dark all the time and the reporter yelied. There was a sort of tremor in that yell that would have done infinite credit to any tenor on the stage. It was effective, at uy rate, and round the corner of the house there came with a rush four men and six more dogs. The men had revolvers with the most wicked look about them = can imagine. The dogs didn’t have anyti but expressed yearning desire to fill their stomachs with por- tions of the reporter's anatomy. Tue Stax man held up his hands; had read that that was the proper thing to do, and he did it with Promptuess and dispatch. IN A STATE OF SIEGE. Mr. Childs’ house is something like s fort in &@ state of*sicge. Several of the neighbors spend the night with him, and the band sally out on the sligh' noise. In spite or all these precautions, however, there was some disturb- ance last night. Somebody whacked the side of the house several times. A thorough search ‘was made of the entire premises, but nothin, was found. The entire searching party hardly returned to the house and gathered around the fire, when bang! bang! the visitor was at it again. A hurried exit and another search resulted, as usual, in nothing. ‘The ladies of Mr. Childs’ family are greatly worried over the affair, and much sympathy is felt for them throughou: the county. IN THE SHADOW OF THE DOME. Lower Part of the Avenue a Resort for Tramps, Beggars and Drunkards, Policeman Mooney of sixth precinct, who does duty on Pennsylvania avenue near the Capitol, appeared in the Police Court Monday as prosecuting witness in the case of two men, Edward Lansdill and Joseph O’Brien, who were charged with vagrancy, The officer did not charge that they were paupers, but the particular complaint was that they spent most of their time hanging about saloons on Pennsylvania avenue between Ist and 43¢ strects. The officer gave evidence against the accused and drew a word picture of the drunken men and beggars on that thoroughfare. He said that Congressmen had spoken to him about the condition of affairs in that locality. JUDGE MILLER SAID that it had gotten so now that people cannot walk along the north side of the avenue be- tween the streets mentioned without walking inst tramps, beggars and drunkards. “And,” continued the judge, “such » state of affairs is not to be tolerated.” O’Brien was unable to give a good excuse, but Lanedill said he was a printer by trade and had work in a job office. O'Briea was required to give bonds or go down for sixty days. Keferring to Lansdill Judgs Miller said: “That kind of companionship does not do for ® man with an honest trade.” Lansdill’s per- sonal bonds were thereupon taken to keep bet- ter company in the future, On the north side of the avenue not far from the Capitol there are fifteen licensed saloons within three squares, and in one place there @re three saloons in adjoi: Clerk Clagett’s In accepting the resignation of Clerk Clagett Jadge Miller wrote him the following: “In se- cepting your resignation permit me to say that in the more than two years’ incumbency of the office of clerk of the Police Court of the Dis- trict of Columbia you have performed its duties in a manner creditable to yourself and conducive to the best interests of the public service. Personally and officially I should Lesitate to part from you did { not believe that your better interests require your accept- ence of the promotion with which you have been honored. With sincere wishes for your future happiness and | prosperity. For the Eight-Hour Day.

He declined to take any credit for any progress the office might have made, but said that all the credit was due to the able carrier and clerical force, to his four superintendents, to the as- sistance he had received from the local news- pay » to his assistant postmaster and to the Officials of the Post Office Department. Col. Bates, superintendent of the free delivery sys- tem at the Post Office Department, made a brief but pleasant address.
