The team that was chosen from all the crack players of the District proved too much for the Columbia eleven and the game ended with the score 6 to 4 in favor of All-Washing- ton. All the scoring was done in the first half, two halves of twenty-five minutes each being layed. Ranier of the Columbias made the rat touch down after some rery pretty rush- line work. ‘This was soon followed by another touch down by Porter of the picked team and from this one Phil King. the Princeton half back, punted out and kicked a pretty goal. ‘This ended the scoring for the game, neither team being able to get. any decided advantage standing the score it was decidedly a Columbia game, for of the All- Washington team four of the players were members of the Columbia Cinb and two more are posted for membership and will probably be brought in wut of the cold before very long. ‘The two teams in yesterday's game were ma wp as follows: ALL-WASHINGTO: CLEaNIsa . ‘lelephone 425-2 Masrrov Gixeez Cuamvsone for Christmas and New Year should be in every household. | e aiecholic.

The bullet struck Joseph Shields in the leg and he tumbled to the side- walk. He is a brother of the man who first drew a pistol. When the crowd saw that the otticer meant business they dispersed, leaving the wounded man on the pavement. | Shields was picked up and taker to his home near by. An examination showed that his leg was broken. ‘The officer's head was badiy injured and be was attended by Dr. McKim.

The sixth annual report of the Central Unioa Mission, which has just been published, shows that the mission has maintained evangel- istic services in every section of the city. Be- sides its main hall on Pennsylvania avenue, it has seven other halls where meetings are held. The gospel wagon has held outdoor services in ight different parts of the city. ‘The station houses have been visited on Sundays, the hos- pitals on week 4 and a great amount of house-to-house visitiaghas been done. In all 1,860 religious verviees were held during the year, with an aggregate attendance of 183,530 professed conversion. aT 305. ® have been subscribed to the pu site on Penn- sylvania avenue for the proposed new mission tabernacle. ‘The present quarters are whol inadequate to the needs. It is proposed te erect a building with an audience room that will accommodate 1,700 peonle, with a smaller andience room for about 300 people. The baxe- ment will be devoted to the printing office. On the first floor it is intended to have an ofiice, reading room and an inquiry room, A meeting in the interest of the building project is to be held at the New York Av Uihireh on January 16, which will he ndd by the Rev.

Those who did go were rewarded by seeing a remark- ably good game that was full of clever features and free from any unfair or over rough play- with Wednesday was as quiet a Christmas eve as was ever experienced in this city by the police. ‘The arrests footed .up a total of 127, but most of them restilted from intoxication, which was only an carly beginning on the part of a great many persons to celebrate the day that comes but once a year. Many of them succeeded ad- mirably and have black eyes and swollen faces a8 mementoes, which they will not get rid of for some days to come. Yesterday morning seven of the persons arrested were in the dock of the Police Court to answer for petty of- fenses. One by one the unfortunate prisoners appeared and a large number of them plead Guilty to the charges, while others preferred to stand trial. Judge Miller administered the law partial hand, giving the prisoners more than a fair show, and many them were relexeed simply because it was Christmas day and for no other reason. ATTORNEY DUMONT’S CHRISTMAS GIYTS. Prosecnting Attorney Dumout was on hand early in the morning and he had a Christmas present for everybody. The present consisted of a miniature “Dan MoGinty” and_his “widow,” and with them the popular official distributed Hayanas, Out of the whole lot of cases tried Policeman Work was the only officer to recommend 2 Christmas present for his vic- tim. William Harris, a colored man, was his Prisoner, and the officer seid that he wus a good man ordinarily, but he had drank too much the night before. Upon his recommen- dation the prisoner was discharged. ME DID NOT KLOW A HORN. Policeman Grant was the only policeman who was offended the night before by hearing the noise of a horn on 7th strect, and he had August Powell charged with that offense. “We orders,” said the officer, “not to allow horn blowing, especially ou 7th street,” and then hg told of the arrest. Powell declared that he did not blow a horn and produced the night defore. It was a horn, but it made noise without blowing, and he gave the judge an illustration of it. He, however, denied that he made a noise with it and four witnesses corroborated what he said. The charge was thereupon dismissed. : Lob Price and JimTaylor,colored men who live in tho county, were called up for doing an act in violation of law. They were intoxicated the night before and Price drove off with a coun- Yman’s team. Taylor went with hit Both wi i ly. ‘For that they were fined £10 each aud Price was tined an additional #50 for overdriving the horses. John Hunnient, a colored coal cart driver, but the latter did not seare so | si i | have.” was tried for driving over the hose at a fire. He claimed that his horse got frightened, but there were too many witnesses against him. Judge Miller told John that this law needed the strictest kind of enforcement owing to the great damage that might result should the hose geteutin two and fined him #5. Most of the other cases were simple drunk and disorderiies and the prisoners were sent away in time to enjoy the dinner at the work house. FRANK K. WARD ACQUITTED. The Long Trial Closed Christmas Eve With a Verdict of Not Guilty. The Ward trial came to a close Wednesday evening, as announced in an extra edition of ‘Tnx Sran, with a verdict of “not guilty. After the report in the regular edition of Tue Srarclosed, Districts Attorney Hoge made the concluding effort for the prose- eution. This lasted one hour and a half and was followed by Chief Justice Bingham’s charg to the jury. The charge was lengthy, covering the various points of law complete! GIVEN To THE JURY. Shortly after 5:30 the case was given to the jury and the twelve men in whose hands was Ward’s fate went up to the jury room to m: up th nds or to show forth the conclu- ns of minds already made up. At 6 o'clock | there was no outward sign of a verdict, xo the court took an informal’ recess for one hour. Promptly at 7 o'clock Justice Bingham entered the murshal's office and finding that the jury Was not ready to declare itself entered into con- versation with District Attorney Hoge. Fifteen minutes later and Pailiff Joyce hurriedly broke up the debate by announcing that the jury was on its way down stairs. There was a rush for the court room, even the movements of the wedate chief justice being more rapid than ‘TRE. SCENE IN THE COURT ROOM. Everybody in the semi-illuminated room looked hard at the jury as it came in, but there was nothing apparent in the demeanor of any of the twelve that indicated the decision they had reached. Proceedings were delayel for a few momente, because the defendant was ab- sent, but he #oon appeared in company with Judge Wilson and one of the bailitfa. Ward showed the traces of great anxiety, his face indicating an anusual amount of sup- pressed mental suffering. His little boy fol, lowed his father, their hands tightly clasped. It was alittle while before the coniusion con- sequent npon the hasty entrance of many peo- ple eubsided, but there was no sound’ when Cierk Williams asked the jury whether it had agreed upon its verdict. ‘THE VERDICT. Foreman MeCathrous’ voice had a very per- ceptible tremor in it as he responded “We There was nothing shak; about the words “not guilty, enunciated a few seconds afterward, Not more than half a hundred people were in the court room—bunched in the imm inity of Ward and his counsel—but the yell tup from Ward's friends was nciay enongh for five times as many pairs of lungs as sent. ‘There was a wikl endeavor on score of men to reach the ° Ward adv smile on his face. One sprang two or three yards d seizing the defendant tric effort was seconded by halfa dozen others, but a couple of bailiffs jumping down into the bar of the conrt finally succeeded in inducing everybody to be seated. When silence once more prevailed Ward was in his chair, the tense expression gone from wiped out by a look that meant supreme hap- pines. DISCHARGED FROM CUSTODY, The silence was broken by Judge Wilson a: ing the cour: if the defendant was, discharged, and when Chief Justice Bingham assented Ward leaned over toward his son, took his face be- tween his hands and kissed bim with touchi fervor. ‘Then came congratulations and hand- shaking and enthusiasm of the most boister- ously exuberant sort. Senator Blackburn and Mr. Coleman of coun- sel for the defense, were not present when the verdict was rendered, but tltey heard the noise as they hurried through the hallway toward the court room, and in few seconds they, too, were happy. ‘THE. BALLOTING. The jury could easily have beon in with its verdict an hour sooner, but the tecess taken By the court prevented. Within a few minutes from the time of their retirement a ballot was taken. The result showed eleven for acquittal and one for ity of murder. The “murder” juror seemed to be a tenacious individual, and some of the jury made up their minds that it was geing to be an all-night job to convince him. “The one man went off in» corner by bimeelf and for about ten miftutes wrestled with himself wnd the testimony. At the end of that period he concluded that it would be im- powible for him to convert the eleven so he surrendered, and the next ballot showed twelve votes for acquittal. Then the jury waited for court to reconvene. Ward spent yesterda: happily with his family at his home on street and received the congratulations of many riends. _—- though, | The Price of Glass to Go Up.

When Augustino Carmenette, a good-looking young Italian, came ashore among the steerage Passengers from the steamship Hindoostan from Nuples yesterday in New York he was asked by the barge office officials whether he had ever been imprisoned for any. cause. He answered that he hud been imprisoned for seven months and then he went on to tell a somewhat remarkable story. “Two years ago,” said he, “I fell in love with agirl named Nannette Francioli. She was the daughter of a jeweler for whom I worked as salesman in Florence. We were soon deeply in love with each other, but we dared not let Nannette’s parents know of it. One day I re- ceived a note from the girl asking me to meet her after early mass. ‘Then she confided to me that shehad two other suitors, both wealthy young men. She cared for neither of them but her father was determined to have her marry one of them. To be frank with her father I told him of my affection for his daugh- ter, and told him I wished to marry her. He few into a violent pession and discharged me at onet Nanette told him that I was the only mai she would e ‘y. He locked her up for Ua servant to bring me a Sn appointment in the garden. She came and told me that her father had set a date for her marriage with a young man whom she did not love. When every scheme to con: ciliate her father had failed, innette told me there was one certain way to dispose of the case, and that was for me to spoil by d er beauty guring her face, for she argued that the thy young man would not care to marry her if the wax made hideous. Then, she said, we could marry and fly to Ameri “The girl insisted on my doing it, so I cut a gash with # knife on each of her cheeks. When she went home her father entreated her to tell who did it, but she refused to tell, and he would | never have found out but for the servant, who told him that Nannette had come to mect ‘Then I was arrested and sentenced to seven mouths’ imprisonment. Upon my release Nan- uette met me and furnished me with money to Ani nderstanding that Id follow in a few weeks. Now Iam here I should like to remain.’ ‘The papers in the case have been plaeed in Collector Erhardt’s hands, and the chances are that Augustino will be sent back to Italy.
