Lawyer Clarke defended the case of Mrs. Mary O'Brien in the Police Court yesterday afternoon. She was charged with keeping an unlicensed bar. Sergeant Daicy was the prose- eating witness and after the District had proven their case Mr. Clarke entered a motion in ar- rest of judgment. The ground for the motion was because the name of Clerk Potts appeared en the informatioy as assistant clerk. ‘The court ted counsel's motion and ‘quashed the information. ‘The defendant and witnesses left court and when they got outside some one said to one of the Witnesses in the case, “Well, you | made s $1.25 today,” and a man named Meany itis . added. “Never mind, if you come up in the first ward we'll dix you.” Sergeant Daley thereupon arrested Meany ‘and locked him up. Meany was this morning tried on a charge of threats and the court put Aim under bis personal bonds. Warrant was issued against Mrs. O'Brien. eekate ONE Mexican Veterans Meet.

An Enjoyable Time at Masonic Hall Last Night—A Large Attendance. The regular annual banquet of the B. and P. Order of Elks, No. 15, was held in Masonic Hall last night and it was a great success from every standpoint. The hall was handsomely decorated with flowers and ferns, while faining bill posters announcing the big theatrical bene- fit which takes place next Wednesday afternoon occupied conspicyous positions on the wall. In the center of the hall three tables ranning the entire length of the hall_were laden with tempting viands and around these the 500 in- vited guests discussed the elaborate menu. At the stage end of the hall an immense pair of clk antlers served as a kind of a pulpit and from_ this Chairmar Leach made the opening address of weleome. He was followed by Ed. Hay, who made one of his pleasing aa- dresses, giving a brief istory of the order. ‘The sale of the boxes and choice seats for the benefit then commenced, Messrs. Ratcliffe & Darr conducting the sale in true auctioneer manner. The first box offered sold for $30 and Mr. Mont Jacobs bought it. ‘The others sold as low down as $10. Choice seats were then fered. They brought $2.75 each. The entertainment on the then commenced with ® piano solo by Prof. Meyer. Mr. H. F. Roberts sang a topical song entitled “He Aint in It,” and Miss Horner followed with » vocal solo of considerable merit. Then Mr. D. C. Bangs contributed a recitation which was very funny. Mr. Nolan sang a bass solo with a good strong voice of much purity and sweetness. Then came the Philharmonic Quartet. com- posed of ladies, who sng most acceptably, re- ceiving an enthusiastic encore. Ed. Hay called ahaltand declared the entertainment would have to stop unless two tickets were purchased. ‘They were soon sold. Then Miss Nellic Dob rendered a voes! solo in a sweet, mezzo-so- Prano voice. ‘The W: Banjo and Man- dolin Club then delighted all with some good music. A vocal selection by the Rheinberger quartet was weil received. That oriental illu- sionist, Yank Hoe, assisted by his wife, Omcne, then gave a pleasing entertainment of second sight. Mise Emily Frech sang the “Angel's Serenade,” accompanied by Mr. E. W. Stone on the flute.’ Miss Bregazzi then contributed a A SUSPICIOUS COUPLE. Said to Have Operated the Panel and Badger Games. A little woman with a pale face aud a man with roxy cheeks were defendants in the Police Court this morning. The woman wore din- monds, but was not very good iooking, while the man was not only well dressed, but he was also nice looking. ‘The man’s name is not, but he was charged aa, John Doe, although the officers also know him as John Wroe. His companion’s name was given as Jennie Brown. There wore two charges against them. They were charged under the vagrancy act with being suspicions persons, and under an act of the legislative assembly they were also charged with being confidence le. Detectives: mand Carter gave evidence against them. The former described the “panel” aud “ *” games which he alleged they operated, aud he told of their bad repu- tation. THE “PANEL” AND “BADGER” GAMES. The “panel” game, he said, is operated in this way: The woman picks up a man and takes him to her room and the man’s clothes are | Blaced where « panel in the door has been so xed that the confederate can reach through and get them. In the “ gaine the snp- posed husband appears, makes the victim empty jis pocket, and the latter cannot afford to neal. Wiiness said he had no personal know!- edge that these defendants had played these games. Detective Carter gave similar evidence and told of an instance of an old man who was picked up by the woman, but his statement was made in confidence and the man’s name could not therefore be given. ‘The officers told of former arrests of the de- fendants, the last_time being about two years ago. Detective Muhon said that about a week agohe met the couple in a cafe on 14th street and he located their room on 17th street. Policeman Moore, who arrested the woman, testified to her conduct on the street ih speak- ing to men and he told of a conversation she had with an old man at 14th and G streets. The Photographs of the defendants, taken at the time of their former arrest, were offered in solo and received an encore. Miss Rosafy followed with a soprano solo and the enter- —— THE FIRST FANCY BALL Of Company D, Third Battalion, Was an Em- phatic Success. The armory of company D, third battalion, U.V.C. of the District National Guard, pre- sented a brilliant scene last evening. The spacions hall in the Globe building was brilliantly lighted and was crowded with a throng of merrymakers in fancy costumes. The occasion was the first fancy ball given by the company. The ball was preceded by a com- petitive company drill, which was conducted by Capt. Heary W. Weber. At the close a gold star pendant medal with cross bar for name of winner, was awarded toSergt. Louis Reinburg. Lieut. 0. L. Suess presented the medal to the winner making an appropriate addrews. The ball was opened with a march, led by Lieut. 0. L. Suess, master of ceremonies; L.A. Reinberg. ballet master: G. W. England, assistant ballet master; G. E. Jenki EW. Andrews, Robert Anderson, Capt. H. Weber and Corp. C. A. Russell, of the committee of arrangements and floor committee, all wearing Russian military nniforms. The erftire affair was under tke di- rection of various committees. J. A. Bresna- hen was chairman of the committee of arrange- ments, Robt. Anderson of the floor committce. ‘The receiving party was composed of the fo lowing lulies: Mesdames England, Kuseell Suess, Weber and the Misses Meinberg jucas. revere SURETIES ON BAIL BONDS. They Are to He Prosecuted—B. Shepherd White Wanted. Recently the matter of prosecuting the sure- ties upon bail bonds taken in the Criminal Court has been placed by District Attorney Hoge in the hands of Mr. A. A. Birney, and he has entered upon an examination of the records with the view of weeding out such as are still standing on the records. This business has been heretofore in the hands of a colored at- torney, but he, shortly after taking up the business, having secured employment at the Capitol, but little if anything was done in re- gard to the subject, consequently Mr. Birney commences from “way back” about 1881. As may be supposed, this will prove quite a work and will give the attorney employment for some months. Already Mr. Birney has the cases listed and is now engaged in the examination of the records as to the forfeit- ures of recognizance, whether they still remain or have they been voided by the action of the President. “From the date of forfeiture the judgment holds as against the property of the | surety and the real estate title companies kee record of them, so it will be seen it is not only 4 matter of importance to the government that outstanding bonds be collected or otherwise disposed of, but to those who are interested in estate transactions. Recently Mr. David Nelligan, who is the $1,060 surety of B. Shepherd White, charged with embezzlement, has naked the government to assist him in capturing White, but District Attorney Hoge informed him that White, as far as the court is concerned, is in his (Nelli- gan’s) custody, and he must produce him or bear the consequence:. White has been re- ported since he left here to have become a cow- joy in the west, but is now said to be engaged in Chicago. When White was released on. bail it was intimated that that was the last of him and that some arrangement had been made with Mr. Nelligan, but the anxiety the latter shows for White's capture is evidence of h*4 good faith. Seal ae ‘The Educational and Relief Association. A large and interesting meeting of the Edu- cational and Relief Association was held last night. The committee stated that everything looked exceedingly promising for the coming concert for the benefit of the poor. Mr. Ruffin stated that he spoke five times last Sunday and that he should continue to speak until the peo ple of the District thoroughly understand the workings of this association.

Carrington, for the defendants, demurred to the evidence. The demurrer was overruled and counsel called the detendants to testify in their own behalf, but they declined to make statements under oath. ‘THE COURT'S COMMENTS. The court commenting on the law said it was one of the best laws now in force in the city. The law does not wait for the commission of o crime, but it is intended to prevent the com- mission of the offense by a professional thief, burglar or confidence man. judge said that the whole scheme is just as plain as daylight. They don’t pick up ordi. nary-looking people, but they go for married men of g others who cannot afford to make known their troubles. The judge, commenting on the plan of operations, tol how the citizen is first en- trapped by a good-looking woman and then the man appetre and exprewes his madness in pro- portion to the size of the victim's pocket book. These people, the court said, will have to learn that a Judgment of this court means tomething. When they were released two years ago it was to keep away from here, but they could not re- main away. They were then required to give areal estate bond in the sum of #100 or go to the workhouse for thirty days. gesleccs aa WISCONSIN REPUBLICANS, They Hold an Enjoyable Reception at the Rifles’ Armory.

One of the most deplorable features of catarri: is the readiness with which it spreads through the Eustachian tubes tothe important structure of the middle ear, frequently that in nearly every case of deafness which Presents itself for treatment the difficulty can be clearly traced to ths effects of catarrh, and even in the few cases which originate from other causes the pres- ence of cxtarrh seriously aggravates the aural disease and renders a permanent recovery impossible until the catarrh is removed. In some cases the approach of deafness is so insidious that it is almost impossible to fix the time when the diffi- culty first commenced. In others the deafness at first comes only by spells, more especially during an attack of afresh cold or after sneezing or blowing the nose. At such times tie hearinz will be found snddenly ob- structed and will as suddenly return, with something of a snapping sound and sometimes witha loud, start- ling report, the whole process giving fn ides of a valve im the head which closed and opened the avenue to hearing. By degrees, Lowever, these spells occur oftener and last loner until permanent deafness is the resuit. Inall cases of catarrial deafness it is an un- fortunate feature tat the difficulty grows slowly but steadily worse until the hearing is seriously impaired or entirely lost. Noises in the head of every conceiva- ble description are also apt to make their appearance during the progress of the disease, adding materialiy to the existing distress. A. P.
