There were thirty-four prisoners in the Police Court dock this morning, seven of whom were locked up as witnesses, leaving twenty- seven charged with violations of law. This is seventeen less than were before court Christmas day. There was a large audience, today being aholiday. When the judge took his seat on the bench Lawyer E. B. Hay wished him a happy New Year, and a procession of prisoners was then formed from oue side of the room to the other, and one by one they were arraigned. ‘THE POLICEMAN'S CLUD DID rt. The first one called was colored man named Henrs Thomas, who will not forget last night's experience for some time. He had a cut acrosa his forebead and his face was covered with blood from the wound. ‘The prisoner was charged with being drunk and disorderly and the court asked what the trouble was with his head. “The man got back at me,” replied Thomas IMPORTED TRAMPS. Tanoiko Feder and Mairinga Forey were the names given by the next prisoners. They were foreigners and genuine tramps.

The concert by the Harvard Glee, Banjo and Mandolin Club at Masonic Temple last night was all that could have been desired. The size of the audience was only limited by the capacity of the hall. Every seat was sold before the entertainment commenced and every available bit of standing room was occupied. There isa large Harvard contingent in this city and its enthusiasm had fuil scope last night when the college songs were sung. Fashionable socicty was well represented in the audience and number of the ladies were without bon- nets and in full evening attire. The club is practically three distinct organizations, as ite Rame indicates, and the efforts of each last night were heartily applauded and thoroughly appreciated. The singing of the glee club w: more perfect than has been given by any ilar orgunization which has visited Washington. ‘They sang with accuracy and precision, in perfect time and tune, were thoroughly obedient to the leader's baton, showing the excellent ciscipline that they ‘had received. Their best and most artistic work, however, did not receive the warmest recognition, but th loudest applause wax bestowed upon the catchy comic songs that were liberally dis- tributed on the program. The topical song on the last Yale-Harvard foot ball match made the climax to the enthusiasm which bad ir- rupted at every number. The instrumental numbers were excellently given, proving that the ban, mandolinists. guitarists and violinists were all good musicians. neert was given under the auspices of the Harvard Club of this city, which will entertain the visitors to- day and tonight.

Goodall, Maryland avenue, had a sad ending in the kill- ing of Charles Bradshaw, a young carpenter of twenty-two years of age, who lived with his Parents at No. 927 H street southwest. A number of young people were at the house of Mr. Goodall and as the midnight hour ap- Proached the young men went out, each leav- ing by one door to return by another to bring good luck and to fire their pistols in honor of the New Year. They were all bunched up in the corner and at the word of one of the party the pistols were raised and discharged just as the whistling of steam engines and other fire- arms added to the din. Immediately young Bradshaw placed his band to his side. exclaim- ing that he was shot. HE DIED IX & FEW MINUTES. His companions believed that he was joking, but ina moment, to their surprise, he reeled ‘and fell to the pavement, and when they hastily removed his clothing it was found that he was bleeding profusely from a wound in the left side of the chest. Dr. M. F. ‘Thompson, who lives at 473 Maryland avenue, was summoned, but he was tob fate to be of any service, for it was but a few minutes before the wounded man ceased to breathe. An examination of the wound showed that the ball entered the left breast in the region of the heart, passing obliquely through the body, coming out on the right side of the back. Sergeant Barry and Officer G. A. Schrader of the fourth precinct were on the ground almost immediately and at once set about to investi- gate the occurrence, |The young men had not en drinking and they were not at ali backward in telling all they knew of the unfortunate af- fair. raons were under the impression that the ball must have glanced from some hard substance, and others were of the opinion that some one got excited and the pistol was fired before it was raised or while it was in the act of being raised. THE BODY TAKEN TO HIS PARENT. ‘The body of the unfortunate young man was taken into the residence of Mr. Goodall and Mr. J. Wm. Lee, the undertaker, subsequently removed it to the residence of his parents, 927 H street. The father of the deceased conducts business asa confectioner and had recently suffered the affliction of a death of a daughter and one of the sons a short time since passed through a serious attack of typhoid fever. The deceased was a sober, steady, industrious young man and his acquaintances’ all spoke well of im. ———— RENEWING THEIR PLEDGES. Watch-Night Services of the Various Coun- cils of Jonadabs.

A. | | Rev. Dr. Fullerton of the West Street Presb; the Wires Are Arranged. Sufficient electric light has been completed in 504 | the Executive Mansion to permit Col. Ernst to light the first floor for the New Year today. In installing the electric light an effort has been made to harmonize the fixtures with the decorations of the various rdoms, and care has beeh taken to avoid imitating any public plans. The beautiful crystal chandeliers in the east room and in the corridor have been pre- served, keeping the external gas jets intact, while the interior of the copious reflectors con- tains a cluster of electric lamps. Inaddition to to these there are twelve “‘suns” in the ceiling, each contdining twelve lamps, whieh are orna- mented in the colonial style of the room, besides having the Baccarct to cor- respond with the center chandeliers. Tho 144 gas jets thus give place to 226 electric’ incan- descent lamps of 20 candle power each, ducing an illumination equal to 4,230 candles. In the green room the original gasolier has been utilized by placing on it fourteen electric lamps, which has been so neatly done as to give the impression that it was contemplated in the original design. In the blue room, which has been newl~ dec- orated at great expense, new side bracket. > re designed to match the plan of the room an. che center gusolier wired for lighting similar . the one in the green room. ‘The old gasolier has been removed from the red room and four “drop fixtures'—one near each corner—and two wall brackets, which seems to be a new departure in interior light- ing. The effect is most pleasing. ‘The silk- covered wires enter the room at the center of the ceiling and are hung in graceful curves from the center to the fixtures. This arrange- ment will in the near future be changed to “concealed wiring,” as the room is to be re- decorated in the spring. In the private dining room there isa beauti- fal center electroline and four wall brackets, carrying in all thirtcen lamps. The red room and the private dining room will be the only rooms depending entirely on electricity for ight. ‘The beautiful crystal chandeliers in the cor- ridors are being wired into combination fix- tures, like those in the east room, and where certain glass poigniards once stood there now appear the white incandescent Edison lamps. he wiring, except in the red room, is all concealed and the daintiest of little switches appear under the edge of draperies or on like ornaments on the moldings. ‘The basement and the entire second story have yet -to be done, and some additional parts of the east room, now being made in Europe, will be nec- essary to complete the first etory.

During the meeting a womah was put ont of the church for not behaving bereelf and Clarence appeared at the church about twenty minutes lat “That was my girl you put out,” he eaid, and then he made so much diturbarice that it was found necessary to eject him. During that act ise ound the judge that he peace- rence told the ju vt was a able citizen and was employed to watch Sena- tor McPherson's house. t he explained was why he had the pistol. Mr. E. B. Hay spoke a good word for the de- fendant, but fr. Dumont referred to Waters in anything but flattering terms. JUDGE MILLER DENOUNCED PISTOL CARRYING in his usual vigorons manner and told Waters that more than carrying & pistol should be ex- pected of him. In conclusion the court fined him $50 or ninety days_and_ said he was sorry he could not make the fine twenty times that amount. . NEW YEAR. The fire bells at midnight tolled the ola year out and rang the new year in, as has been the custom here since the yar. Volleys from pis- tols and discharges of fireworks accompanied the transit, and the new year was two hours old before quietness settled on the town. New Year day has had little observance beyond the closing of the banks and public offices. ALEXANDHIA MARRIAGES. The clerk of the corporation court issued nineteen marriage licenses during December, the largest number ever issued here during one month and nearly double the average issue for the year. During the month four xandria marriages took place in Washington. ALEXANDRIA FACTORIES, 1860—1890. Commissioner R. P. Knox of the United States census is still engaged in his industrial and commercial census of Alexandria, but says that the figures of its business have astonished him. Alexandria has now an immense brewery, a large cake and crac factory, eight iron works, including extensive car shops, three ae tills, eight extensive door, window and ox factories, un extensive shoe factory, a ship yard, with seven tin-mith establishments, four cabinet shops, with fertilizer factories, brick yards, bakeries, &c., employing, in all, about 1,200 hands. This is a better showing than was made in 1560 when the city is popularly sup- dosed to have been in its most prosperous con- dition, the census then giving Alexandria man- ufactories as follows: 14 boots and shoes, 7 tin and copper works, 6 brick yarda, 5 smith sho] 10 bakeries and dy factor 4 iron and brass foundries, 4 cabinet manufactories, 4 smitheries, , 2 tanneries, 2 soap factories, also a cutlery factory, flour mill, sumac mill, glue factories, breweries, potteri ec. These establishments had 785 hands an: capital of 2487,120, and their product was esti- mated at $857,220. ST. JOHN'S BANQUET. The banquet of the Old Students’ Society of St. John’s Academy Tuesday might filled every seat at the long tables in the dining room of Hotel Fleischman, there being about seventy guests present, more than half of whom were from Washington, years from 1837 to 1890 being represented. Capi. Wm. F. Carne, jr., chai man of the committee, presided,tand after th. caterer had done his work for the inner man | the toasts were read. The toast “The old students” was gracefully met by Dr. R. Bruce Donaldson of 1837 and Clarence Vining of Vashingion of 1887 responded in the name of the later graduates. ‘The toast “Virginia” was eloquently responded to by City Attorney 8. G. Brent and that of *Alexandria” with facis and figures by City Treasurer M. B. Harlow. Dr. Geo. B. Klipsiein of Alexandria responded to the toast “The medical profession” and Mr. Charles Bendheim of Wasbington to that com- plimentary to the legal fraternity. Mr. W. E. -oulton of Washington answered the toast “The ladies” and Mr. Rudolph Bartle of Washing- ton to the toast of “The days that are gone,” nd Mr. Fielding Lewis of Washington to “The ecutive departments.” All joined in singing ‘Old Lang Syne” and shortly after midnight the assembly departed with many héarty fare- Wells. ‘Ihe Washingtonians in attendance were Messrs.

This was the “pioneer class” of the High School, and it gave to its successors the custom of holding annual reunions. There was a larger attendance than usual last night, several members who have been away from the city for a decade being present. After an elab- orate dinner pepery Mr. J. H. A.

Sergius Stepniak, the famous Russian revolu- tionist, exile and writer, who arrived in New York Tuesday, has come to this country to de- liver fifty or more lectures, and in view of the @reat interest which Americans feel’ in Russian affairs, and the particular interest which they must necessarily take in a man who has been @ co-worker with the most noted leaders of the movement inst czars, probable that he will address large audiences. PEN PICTURE OF STEPNIAK. Ttwasa mild-mannered nihilist who sat ins room in the Everett House and answered ques- tions from newspaper men. Anybody, taking 8 good look at him, would say: “There's a man overflowing with good nature; a warm hearted, sympathetic fellow. He cannot be a nibilist.” But that is the very sort of man to make a nibiiist, according to the definition which niak himself gives, for, ashe pute it, the nibi- list i#4 man who, touched by the suffering of his people, feels impelled to espouse their cause and to make « martyr of himself, if needs be, toright their wrongs. He may do very bad things, but he does ‘them because he is 8 very good man. Stepniak must measure five fect eleven in height and weigh 190 pounds. The loosely fit- ting tweed suit which he wears makes him look an even heavier man. He is well proportioned, with erect body. full chest, ‘ificent shoulders and a. well-1 ‘a “head. has full black whiskers and bushy black hair. His eyes are black, and are full of life and in- telligence, and his face is altogether a one, showin; expressive of great animation as be talks ignity and character in repose. WHAT THE NIMILISTS WANT. “The nihilists as a party,” said he, “believe that certain things should be given to the people of Russia. They want a national parlia- ment, universal suff nation: » local autonomy and alization of land. "They do not belie te church, but in absolute freedom in religious matters. For the present they are fighting for but one thing and that is for the substitution of a free government in the Place of autocracy. They ask no more than this, willing to leave the rest to be settled af- terward, and willing to take their chances with other parties in the determination of what in- stitutions are best suited to a free do not ask for a republic, although they are in- dividually republicans. “Chey would be willing that the reigning czar should be the president for life. But they do insist that autocratic power shall be done away with.” This and much more Stepniak said, speaking with great rapidity and earnestness, exhibiting @ wonderful command of English and the abilits to use English words discriminatingly. His Pronunciation, however, was far from good, and at times it was difficult to catch the words which fell so rapidly from his lips. HIS PRESENT PURPOSE. “What are you here for?” “I come as the representative of the paper which is published in England—Free Russia— & paper which has for its object the awakening in the civilized nations of the world of a senti- ment of disapproval of the course of the Rus- sian government toward the people of Russia. | We have no popular sentiment to which we | may appeal in our own land in the hope that it ma¥iead to a modification of the rigorous treatment of his subjects administered by the | czar. But we realize that forei opinion of | our country has a tremendous influence. In the sentiments of other our own we have found a lever which we may use to great advantage in our work. “For cxample, we realize that what has come from the work of George Kennan has made an | epoch in Russian history. Ido not mean that | ie sentiment which he has aroused has had ita greatest effect direct upon the czar. It has operated perhaps more strongly upon others, upon the great body of officials surrounding the czar and it has certainly produced a great impression upon the entire body of Russian iberals. The paper of which 1 speak was founded by some of the leading men of Eng- Jand and our committee of management is com- posed of noted men of both pat I wish to create in this country an interest in our cause similar to that which is felt in England. That is what Iam here for and ifI do it1 sball consider that Ihave made a very successful journey.” WHEN FORCE SHOULD BE USED. “Do you indoree the practices of the Russian terrorists?” was the next interrogatory which was submitted. To this question Stepniak responded with the | counter question, any ‘one of you should | have your sister flogged what would be your feelings—what step would you stop at to over- | turn the government that authorized such a punishment?” Then he went on todescribe the relations prevailing in Russia between people and sovereign. The conditions were so severe, he said, that they could not be tolerated. ‘We tried the propaganda first,” he con- tinued, “but we got nothing from it except the most cruel and barbarous treatment of all who took part in it. There is no other way than by the use of force to get what we want and must have, and I believe that it will in the end be better for humanity if force shall be used than it would be if we should continue to endurt. PERSONAL EXPERIENCES. “T had my first trouble with the government,” said Stepniak, “in 1873, when I was making | propaganda among the peasants. I was ordered | into exile. But I didn't leave the country. I} changed my name and residence somewhat and | till ae on with my work. I was probably the first of what are known as the ‘illegal y That phrase covers persons who, having been | ordered to leave the country, stay in it under assumed names, liable, if apprehended, to un- dergo severe punishment. “f'went to Switzer. Jand in 1875 and there wrote for a leaflet publi- cation which was circulated in Russia. iter Treturned to Russia, still an ‘illegal’ person, and published a paper called Land and Liberty.” s;How did you manage to escape arrest?” “Ah, that was my good luck,” said Stepniak. “And what ii tus now; would you shall go if I consider it my duty to go.” pleasing | 8S ple. They | j, “What would they do with you if they should find you in the country: send you to Siberia?” “Worse than that,” answered Stepniak, with aemile. “It might'be that horrible prison at Schusselbourg, which is far worse than Siberia. There's many 4 Russian, Ican tell you, who would be very happy to be sent to Siberia rather than to Schusselbourg. Really, I should consider that I had done very little for my country if I should only be sent io Siberia.” STEPNIAK'S REAL NAME. “Stepniak is not your name; what is your name? They call you by five or six names in this country; which is the right one?” The Russian laughed at this question and then he auswered: “My name is Stepniak. That is the name that T will be known by: I was born ‘Stepniak’ when I wrote my book, ‘Underground Bastia,” down in Ttaly. "I choose, to" Sonceal my real name. Let the Russian government know me as ‘Stepniak.’ I have never done sught that Tam ashamed of or regret, but I do not ive my name and it is myright to withhold it m THE CZAR Ix PERIL. Somebody asked what Stepniak thought of the murder of Seliverskoff by Padlewaki. “I don’t justify that,” said Stepniak. “It was not necessary. Ina country like France there may be an appeal to public opinion and force is not necessary. I'am sorry that Padlewski com- mitted the murder. All the same, though, Iam glad that he was not arrested.” ‘The last question put to Stepniak was whether or not he considered that the reigning czar's “Yen I do,” was, the r that came t em| hg t revolut is - fing in Tursa, and unlews some concessions are speedily made to the it will soon come upon country, and, Gepend ‘upon it, rivers Me rk, was hanged at Pa- latka, Fla., yesterday for murder commit Sold by all druggists. $1; six for 5.

Advices from Peru received yesterday give the details of the revolution which occurred in Lima on December 3. Pierota, the Boulanger of Peru, has been quietly at work for some ‘time among the lower classes endeavoring to create a revolution which would place him in the position of dictator. On the afternoon of December 3 several of Pierata’s chosen followers obtained admission to Fort Santa Catalina with about eighty of their men. A prearranged signal was given and the insurrectionists sud- denly took possession of the fort. The gov- ernment troops were called out and for two hours a fierce fight was waged, which ended in the defeat of the revolutionists.
