The fifth battalion owned everything in the Center Market armory last night. It also owns aclock. Around that timepiece clustered tho ceremonies of yesterday evening. To encour- age rifle practice among enlisted men of the District National Guard Gen. Ordway some time ago offered a very handsome clock to the battalion team of five which could excel all , Similar teams in a seven-shot two hundred- yards mateh. The competition took place on November 5 and the team of the fifth battalion was successful. A week ago Major R. A. O'Brien, commanding the fifth, issued invita- tions to a large number of guardsmen and civilians to witness the presentation of the trophy and pretty nearly everybody that had been bidden, to say nothing of # number of welcome ones who came of their own accord, was on hand in the great drill hall last night, A battalion dress parade was the first num- ber on the program. and this was witnessed b Gen, Ordway, who was accompanied by Co! Long, Capt, Peixoto, Staff Sergeant Corvaizier | aud Staff Quartermaster Sergeant Riggs. \iarge number of firat and second Fea ent officers were present in uniform, Col. Clay be- ing modestly conspicuous and evidently much | delighted over the victory of one of his bat- talons. The battalion was formed by First Lieut, King, inspector of rifle practice, but for | the occasiou acting as adjutant. When the | parade was over Lieut. King marched a little | squad of five to the front and center—-Sergt, | Murphy, Sergt. Edwards, Serzt. J. M. Stewart, | Private Walter 8. Cash and Private Doyle, the wianers of the trophy. HAPPY SPEECH-MAKING. ‘Thon the speech-making commenced. Every | word of Gen. Ordway s address could be heard | in any pact of the ball. The general was most ewlogistic of the virtues of rifle practice and made apt reference to historical results brought | about by the skill of American riflemen—nota- Bunker Hill and New Orleans. ‘The promi- neuce given the District Nationai Guard by the work of its team at Creedmoor was touched upon very happily and the remark was re- ceived with applause. pumented ou the fact that all the competin, teams. with one exception, had exceede: merksmen’s scores, while the total of the win- ners was almost up to the sharpshooters’ limit, Formal presentation of the clock was then made, Maj. O’Brien responded pleasantly, | Sergt. Murpby took possession of the trophy and the team marched off while the companies broke rauks and proceeded to the company rooms. Invited guests were then escorted to the headquarters of the fifth. where a fine collation awaited them. Here there was eating, drinking and merriment until after 10 o'clock. Lieut, of the spread and if anyone departed with ap- petite Unsatisfied 1t was not the quartermaster's fauis. ‘Lhe clock was duly wound up and set going. It decorates the headquarters’ sideboard, aegis DINNERS IN TIN BOXES. Prisoners in the Jail and How They Are Fea. The shrill sound of a whistle blown in the rotunda of the jail the other afternoon was a signal for the prisoners at work to cease their labors for the day and return to their cells for the night. Capt. Coleman was the man who biew the whistle. and a minute or two later several! colored men appeared in the rotunda, Some had been at work in the coal vaults, while others were employed in the furnace room. Still others came from the kitchen, where they had about completed the work of clearing away the scraps and cleaning out the room. Such men were entitled to an extra meal in addition to the two served daily to all the prisoners by virtue of their employment, and cach man carried under his arm a tin box aod m bis band a large tin cup filled either with tea or coffee or soup. The meal in the box consisted of ordinary prison fure, which, by the way, was much better than some of them had been used to outside of the privon, Boiled meat or fish, with corn or whea: bread. as the prisoner desired, with vegetables of some sort constituted the meal. The men were apparently contented. Their day's work over and they were satisfied to go to their cells and rest for the night. The jail building being situated almost on the banks of the Easteru branch and near the marshes those confined in it are apt to suffer from malaria at this season of the year, but the offi- cials take every precaution against disease. Thus far in the history of the prison the health ofthe inmates has been better thanat any other institution of the kind in the country. THE PRISONERS FOOD, The food furnished, the officials claim, is as good if uot better than is furnished in other prisons, The prisoners who visit there after having once “spent aterm in one of the peni- tentiaries dread leaving it, and many of them have remarked that they world like to take the food along with them. Recently several prisoners complained of being sick from a di ease similar to the diarrhea, but upon invest: gation it was found that their illuess was the result of overloading their stomachs, “No wonder he's sick,” said a colored occu- antof a cell about a fellow prisoner, “the ceceg senna goed ek eaten quarts of it,” ‘That explained why Dr. McWilliams, the jail physician, had to administer paregoric to sev- eral prisoners, PRISONERS WHO COMPLAIN. “There are always complaints made by some prisoners about the food or something else that don’t just suit them,” said one of the officials to w Stax reporter, “but that will occur among ali bodies of men and it doesn’t make any dit- ference whether there is any ground for the complaint or not, “the ones who do the complaining,” he added, “are thoze who have never been used to anything. ‘Ihey think because the govern- ment pays for the food that they ought to get all sorts of delicacies. Those who have been used to good living on the outside rarely com- plain, because they don't expect any more than ordinary substantial food.” ‘The official explained that the prisoners were given two meals a day and the food, while not put up in style, 1s clean and substantial and well cooked. All the meats and fish, as well as the other food. is inspected by Deputy Warden Russ and if it does not come up to the stund- ard itis rejected. Some of the prisoners complain of the man- ner in which the food is served, The sight of the tin boxes takes away their appetite. Some of them request to have their meals served on plates and some would even like a piece of but- ver tomake the corn bread go down more smoothly, —_+—- Fell From a Wagon. | Yesterday Schoficid Bankes feli from a wagon on bunker Hill road near the Cathoiic Univer- sity and the wheels passing over him he was seriously injured.

Edward Callahan Fined for Disorderly Conduct—Judge Miller’s Remarks. Edward Calisban, a drafteman who lives at the home of his parents on 9th street, was be- fore Judge Miller today, charged with being an habitual drunkard and also with disorderly conduct. His own brother was the principal witness against him. He charged that Edward wasan habitual drunkard and said that last night he came home drunk and was profane and abusive. Witness said that his brother had done but little if any work in six months. Policeman Heide also gave evidence against him. The defendant told the court that he lived at home and said he did some work for Mt Forsyth he said, “I give most of my money at hom Judge Miller said he remembered the defend- ant, who had been before the court before. “There are several just such men as you in thia city,” said Judge Miller. “You are ail gentlemanly and polite and on good terms with everybody except your parents or the people who shelter you, and when you get home you abuse everybody about the house.” The charge of vagrancy was dismissed ‘‘and for the disorderly conduct,” said the judge, “you can pay a fine of $10 or thirty days.” Census of Omaha, Neb., Defended. In talking with a Stan reporter today upon census matters generally Superintendent Por- ter said, with reference to the criticisms that have been made impeaching the integrity of the federal census of Omaha, that “not a single suspicious circumstance has been brought tothe notice of the census office. On the contrary, certain prohibition organs would seem to have been conducting a campaign of wholesale falsehood and calumny. They have charged that the census was padded in order to prepare their party throughout the country for the defeat that was awaiting them in the state of Nebraska. The census office can do nothing on mere newspaper gossip, election scandal or anonymous letters, Lhe vote cast at Omaha in the recent election, compared with that cast in Kansas City, Minneapolis and St. Paul and the ratio of voters to population, sustains the census, It even shows less difference than might reasonably be expected in any four cities of such important rank. In this, as in other instances, the bubbies of criticism on the eleventh census are soon pricked when com- pared with cold facts,” ALEXANDRIA, \ Reported for Tax EVENING Stan, Two MarriaGes at Cuntse Crurce.—If Gen.

Little Johnny Gethins and his faithful spaniel Yip. who have been made part and parcel of each other by Dr. A. M. Phelps’ skill, were resting quietly at the Charity Hospital on Blackwell's Island yesterday. Bat an un- expectedodificulty has arisen. Yip won't eat, Jobnuie is bright and cheerful and eats freely, even heartily, but Yip refuses to be tempted by the choicest broiled steaks or the most suc- culent chops. Jobnnie’s nurse did, after much coaxing today, succeed in getting the spaniel to take alittle milk, and the physicians felt » little more encouraged. ‘The possibility of Yip’s dying and the fact of another live, healthy spaniel in the hospital collar as a possible understudy for Yip is said to have impressed the officials of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with the idea that too many canine lives are being endangered by science, Warden Roberts no interference bad been attempted by the society as yet and he did hot anticipate any, Superintendent Hankenson of the Seciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals admitted that the society had no juris- diction in the case, “Were it not for this fact,” said he, “you may be sure we would interfere, for we believe that experiments of this kind come under the head of unjustifiable cruelty.” The physicians in the hospital are all much interested in the outcome of the case, but either cannot or will not say much about it. Dr. Frazier C. Fuller of the hospital medical board has expressed himself as confident that the operation will prove an un- qualified success and said that the chances of such success seemed most favorabli ae LADY PLOWDER’S MUSCLE, She was at- She Makes an Exhibition of It ina San Antonio Hotel.

The work of the chambermaid did not suit her and she forcibly adjusted mat- ters. After the castigaiion she received the chambermaid stole down stairs, shedding tears of woe, and the housekeeper, with business in her eye, went up to investigate. She was met by the victorious English woman and hurled bodily down stairs. When she came to she de- clined to pureue further investigations. A bell boy went up with a pitcher of water and unfortunately stumbled, He caughtat the lady's skirt to save himself, and the garment was rent.

It is to be used asa fertilizer and it is expected to bring good returns to the firm of commission merchants which dared to detach it from its native place.
