An Interesting Aftalr, The Clinical Society of Maryland and the District of Columbia held its yegular monthly meeting last evening in the parlors of the St. James Hotel, which were selected as the tem- porary place of meeting. About thirty-eight members were present, twenty arriving at 8 p.m. from Baltimore, among them Drs. C. H. Thomas, J. 8. Barnard, Flora Brewster, Henry Chandlee, E. H. Canden, F.C. Drane, H. F. Garey, 0. E. Janney, Harvard Lindley, T. E. Sears, Elirjdge C. Price, R..W. Mifflin, G. T. Shower, N.W. Kneass, W.L. Dodd, W. D. my name and business into the very faces of the people of Washington. An experience of Thomas, Elias C. Price, John Hood, W. L. Mor- gan, D. F. Shipley, Paul De Ford and E. H. Holbrook. Soon after 8 o'clock Dr. Stearns, president of the Washington branch, called the meeting to order and the clinical work was begun. Drs. Richard Kingsman, 'T. Mac- donald, 8.5. Moffatt and B.F. Gibbs each brought before the society a patient the nature of whose affection was unique and instructive. One at a time the patients were presented and the diagnosis, etiology. pathology, treatment and prognosis of cach was entered into by all the members present and gave rise to much earnest and interesting discussion. The inter- change of medical thought, scientific facts and clinieal observations was so thoroughly zealous and instructive that adjournment was not thought of till the Maryland contingent real- ized that there was hardly time left to catch the 11:30 train for Baltimore. The next meeting will be held in Baltimore in January. eee Negro Thieves Sentenced. Saturday evening Jake Beecham, an Anacostia, negro, was passing down 11th street southeast, when some overcoats in front of Louis Gold- berg’s store attracted his attention and he took one and went on across the bridge to his home. Policemen Branson and Jones arrested him, but did not recover the coat. Jake was tried in the Police Court this morning and sentenced to sixty days in jail. Another Anacostia negro, Edward Johnson, was before the Police Court this morning charged with stealing a pair of rubber shoct from the same store. A sentence of thirty days was imposed. Rees Sent to the Grand Jury. In the case of Col. H. C. Stewart, charged with robbing Frank Loving, as heretofore men- tioned in Tux Staz, counsel waived an exam- ination in the Police Court and the case was sent to the grand jury. dase eee An Incident of the Storm. One of the young women employed in the government printing office, who resides on Capitol Hill, was near the Baltimore and Ohio railroad yesterday morning on her way to work when the wind got beneath her umbrella and carried it out of sight.

There was a man near her and he just laughed until his sides ac! and then walked —— front of her to the office, not once offering her shelter beneath his umbrella. He laughed until he had almost reached the office end then @ blast of wind wrenched his umbrella out of his hand and his hat followedit. ‘And then I laughed,” said the young woman in telling the story. ink ae ANACOSTIA. THE NEW DRIDGE ON FIRE. For two or three nights the gas in the village has burned very poorly and last ‘night the pipe on the bridge parted, resulting in total dark- ness. It was supposed there was aleak in the the pipe where it crowes the branch, and a | force of men were at work yerterday trying to | find the break. Soon after the worknien left last evening the bridge was discovered to be o fire along the line of the pipe, the exeaping gas having by some means been ignited. ‘The wooden part of the bridge beneath the side- alk on the esat side burned freely until the fire engine began on it, ‘The damage was not serious.
