Ulysses S. G. Glick im the Police Court ‘Today. Rev. Ulysses §. G. Glick, the alleged confi- dence man, an account of whose arrest was published in yesterday's Stan, was taken to the Police Court today, where there was a warrant ‘against him charging him with false pretenses. ‘The warrant was sworn out by Detective Raff and charged the prisoner with having obtained $4 from George U. Rider in November last. ‘Mr. Rider is agent for Appleton & Co., pub- lishers, and has his office in this city. The de- fendant, it is charged, was employed by Rider to sell books in Richmond, and while in that city, it is alleged, he falsely represented that he had obtained from one Harry Smith an order for $17 worth of books, upon which alleged {alee representation. it is charged, he obtained #4 from Rider, on account of his’ commission. When Glick "left Richmond at that time hé had stopped at the Davis House, and there his baggage was detained for board. Amongst his baggage were several books which belonged to Mr. Kider, and the latter bad to pay $12 to secure the books. NOT READY FOR TRIAL. ‘When the caso was called to the attention of Judge Miller, Prosecuting Attorney Mullowney stated that he was not prepared to go to trial because the witness Smith was in Richmond and he asked that the case go over until Tues- day. The matter of ing the witness was discussed and Judge Witter ors | he thdtght that gotten here by Saturday. ‘said that the witness could be Col. W. A.

The question of bail was discussed and Mr. ‘Mullowney asked that it be fixed at $1,000. ‘The court, however, thought that $500 was suf- ficient and even this defendant's counsel thought was too high. Counsel spoke of the defendant not being able under the law to give bail. The court mentioned the decision rendered by the Court in General Term, iu which it was held that thie court had not the power to take bail in cases pending before it. “A decision,” remarked Col. Cook, “that has no likeness in the heavens above or the earth below.” “Even so,” said the court, “it is binding upon this court.” AN EXAMINATION WAIVED. Judge Miller told counsel that an examina- might be waived and then the case can be opened by striking out the waiver. Counsel concluded to adopt this course, and the judge said that if the defendant had to be committed, the case would be set peremptorily for Saturday but if bail could be given then it would be set for that day provisionally. ‘The question of returning to the defendant the money taken from him was discussed, but the court made no order concerning it. gee No Progress on District Appropriations. There was absolutely no progress made on the District appropriation bill yesterday. The entire afternoon was taken up in disenssion of amendments offered merely for delay, in counts of the House and in debate on the rules. It is very probable that the committee on rules will report a resolution closing debate on the bill today or tomorrow. —_—— Principal Keeper of the Zoo. Mr. W. H.

Thies morning in the Police Court a colored man from “Foggy Bottom,” named Henry Coleman, was tried on two charges. One was carrying a razor and the other was assault on David Asher. As heretofore printed in Tur Star, Asher was a witness in a policy case, and Coleman and another colored man denounced him as @ “pimp” and assaulted him. Asher was not injured, although his assailants evi- dently intended to give him a thrashing. As the assault did not amount to much a fine of only $10 or thirty days was imposed, but for carrying the razor the maximum penalty, $50 or ninety days, was imposed. tssoxives source ‘The Case of “Judge” East. Judge A. B. East, who was arrested in this city afew days since and taken to Richmond, as stated in Tus Stam at the time, on a charge of obtaining money and clothing under false pretenses, has had a hearing in two cases. On the charge of altering a negotiable note from $35 to $135 he was sent on to the grand jury. On the charge of obtaining awatch under false tenses he was acquitted.

This morning at 4:45 o'clock Officer Goucher noticed a man carrying # trunk into the alley between 16th, 17th and O streets and Massachu- setts avenue. He immediately attempted to pat overhaul him when he dropped the trunk and | 2° escaped. The trank was taken to the third pre- einct (Lieut.

Perry, who was on duty, immediately set the machinery of the department in motion to find, if possible, the whereabouts of the two girls, and about 7 o'clock this morning two pretty New York girls were placed under arrest. THE GIRLS LOCATED. As soon as the telegram was received Ser- geant Byrnes and Policeman Groff of the sixth precinct were found by Sergeant Perry and they were put at work on the case. Sergeant Byrnes stationed himself at the depot while Policeman Groff went off and soon succeeded in locating the girls. He learned that they had arrived here with their », which con- sisted of four trunks, and ‘gone to the house of Stella Horton, No. 1229 D street. The officers then started for the house and took Bergeant Mont of the first precinct with them. When the Horton house was reached it was nearly 7 o'clock and the two good looking New York girls were found. Clara Hayser’s description had been given in the telegram with the exception of her dress. She had removed her plush suit and donned an evening dreas. Estella Kellogg, hor companion, is apparently five or six years her senior. She was attired in # modest-fitting tailor-made suit and her a pearance was as modest as her clothing. She wore but little jewelry, while Clara fairly sparkled with diamonds. TRUNKS AND GIRLS AT HEADQUARTERS. Their trunks, four in number, contained a large quantity of valuable and lovely clothing. The girls were escorted by a policeman and their trunks were put in the patrol wagon and Griven to police headquarters. ‘The girls com- lained of being hungry, but it was late in the Say before they got their breakfast. Clara was relieved of her diamonds, which consisted of a pair of diamond earrings, a ring set with diamond and sapphires, another one that was set with diamonds and pearls, a hand- some butterfly-shaped breast pin of diamonds and other précious, stones, a diamond bracelet and a valuable bair pin. “You may as well kill meas takemy jewelry,” signed the victim of unfortunate circumstance. “Oh, don’t talk that way,” said Estella, “Jewelry is no good anyhow.” ‘The police knew no more about the case than was stated in the telegram, but when Clara heard that the jewelry had gotten her in trouble she gave ‘some ‘information which, if trne, will end in a scandal. She said the trouble was caused by the son of a millionaire brewer in New York, who appeared to have be- come infatuated with hee and to have given her in one week, according to her story, diamonds worth $3.00, besides $900 in cash. “And because I got tired of him and left,” said Clara, “he had me arrested. “If I am de- prived of the jewelry that he gave me.” she said, “I might as well die. It will be the last of him, anyhow, for I will have the pleasure of shooting him if I have to kill myself after- ward.” Detective Mahon and Sergeant Brosnan went with the fair prisoners to the sixth police sta- tion, and the last request they made before leaving headquarters was that the jewelry should not be given to the young man whom they had mentioned. —_- AMUSEMENTS. ‘Tae Arpyetox Quantet.—The concert to be | } ven at Lincoln Music Hall on Friday ygght ¥ the Appleton Quartet and Mr. Myron Whit- ney is alrendy exciting considerable interest in musical circles here.

The federation also indorsed House bill No. 18,106, recently introduced by request by Mr. Butterworth, “to regulate mode of assessing real estate in the District of Columbia.” A committeo was appointed to make arrange- ments for an eight-hour meeting, in which District Assembly No. 66 K. of L. was requested to co-operate, and a committee was appointed to wait upon the Secretary of the Navy and re- quest the enforcement of the eight-hour law in the Washington and other navy yards through- out the country and, if necessary, make the same request of the President. a ALEXANDRIA, HERDIC ROBBERY. The first herdic robbery here took places few days ago, when the box of one of Patter- son's herdics was carried off. Scott Dixon, colored, was at first charged with the theft, but no evidence appearing to sustain the charge he has been dismissed, and now John Lucas, col- ored, is held by the police on suspicion of hav- ing committed the offense and will have an early hearing. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS. There has been set on foot here by some lead- ing gentlemen a plan to introduce into the city government a policy of internal improve- ment such as possessed the town in 1816 and in 1853. They are mapping out methods of street paving, sewerage, economic lighting, &e., which are designed to give Alexandria an im- petus of improvement that, it is thought, will add largely to the population of the town and greatly increase its values. It was at first pro- posed to do this by means of a syndicate or stock company, for which, it is stated, the exy ital was ready, but the later plan is’ that the work shall be done by the city and special bonds issued, the interest and sinking fund to e met by a rate law for the use of the sewers, cc. It is understood that the plan will be de- veloped in time for the spring elections. NOTES. Hon.

The London Times this morning published the concluding paper ina remarkable series of articles on the negro question in America, To- day's article proposes the adoption of a sys- tem of assisted negro immigration and com- frica as the most suitable re emigrants. Times in an editorial on the subject asks whether the prosecution of a race war be cheaper than the furtherance of a n exodus. It says: “The immigration proposal is sure to offend many, both in America and England, but the critics may fairly be called to describe’ this alternative settlement as equally permanent and honorable. It is an extreme measure, only to be justitied by a serious con- dition of affairs; but such, in the opinion of a careful observer who has long been there, is the condition of the southern states. The gloomiest prediction as to the reconstruction policy of the republicans have been fulfilled, and it is especially their duty to bestir them- welves and endeavor to put an end to the chronic disorder and peril.” ——_—_<oe—_—___ Pilots’ Convention in Baltimore.
