THE COLUMBIA HOSPITAL, Reorganization of the Staff and the Changes It Has Involved. “ Since the resignation of Dr. P. J. Murphy as surgeon in charge of Columbia Hospital in Dé- comber last the organization and management of the hospital has been generally changed. A committee of directors visited all the best and most modern hospitals in Baltimore, phia and New York, and, acting the ad- vice of the best known experts of the country, | it was determined to place the medical care of the hospital in the hands of physicians and surgeons living outside, each of whom is to +have continuous care of his own patients. Under the nearly twenty years’ administratien of Dr. Murphy as surgeon in charge the hospi- tal obtained a reputation second to none in the country, numbering among its patients the wives and daughters of Senators and members, of stanes ot the army and nai sad ot Gate isl Posple in country. No pt n rex of change would have been con- sidered by the directors but for the long-con- tinued ill health of Dr. Murphy, which rendered his farther care of the institution imj ble. It was ascertained that no surgeon of Dr. Murphy's standing could be for any ti ‘the hospital wee able to pay as surgeon in charge, and the question arose a ee be Ley charge of a comparatively young man i Ke" or whether the directors medical Saan oe Eieteiaginr prawns >? = .

George Jones, a negro who is fond of earry- ing and using deadly weapons, was arrested near 20th and E streets last night by Policemen Holmes and Parham and locked up. He was ‘under the influence of liquor and as usual he bad a weapon onhim. Heretofore the weapons were pistols and razors, but this time he had an oid table knife.

Among the persons who appeared in the first Procession of prisoners that marched before Judge Miller this morning wasa young man wearing torn clothes and whose blackened eye was evidence of his having engaged in a con- flict. His name was Buck Beard and be was arraigned for disorderly conduct. “Judge. your honor,” he said, “Idon’t exactly like to plead guilty. because there was nobod; there except my brother and myself, and were out on the commons, but I will plead guilty. Policeman Bassford told the court that the isoner and his brother occupy a room near Esed 8d ctrects, and Int night they hel's fight in their room. After breaking the gas fixtures they went into the yard and from there they went over on the commons near North Capitol street. “What about this fight?” inquired the court. “We had the fight,” was his respouse, “but we went out on the lot and there was nobody there but ourselves.

Axpavon’s.—-Mr. Wim. H. Crane was greeted last night by an audience that filled every seat in Albaugh’s, and the reception given him when he made his appearance as Senator Hannibal Rivers fully attested the popularity in Wash- ington of this excellent comedian. In. no play has Mr. Crane been seen to so good advantage as “The Senator.” It isa story that all Wash- ingtonians are familiar with, and it is told in graceful, crisp dialogue—often sparkling with wit and humor—and in quick, effective action. The title role is but a slight tion of many western mannerisms, whi 1¢ make-up of Mr. Crane is easily recognizable as that of a member of the upper house whose peculiari- ties as weil as his many excellent qualities are well known and appreciated here. Call y and its leading character were reviewed at length in these columns when both made their first appearance last season, and it only need be said now that Mr. Crane has become more fully engrossed in his part and so completely sinks his own identity that one forgets the actor in the role of the Senator. This is as high praise as ean be bestowed upon an actor, and yet in this case it is but simple justice. Mr. Crane's company is fully competent, and all the characters are well sustained. Again to- night. Natroxar.—A house full of le who “would not have missed it for nine dollars” were at the National last night to see Hallen and Hart and their company in Donnelly’s musical farce comedy, “Later On,” which, by the way, if itwere not for the singing of a number of well-selected songs and dancing by well-telected people, having no particular ref- erence to Mr. Donnelly’s part of the work, would be a frost of the worst Jack variety. Hallen and Hart are excellent men in their line and their style is quick to catch on with a gallery grip a little stronger than any other. Miss Annie Lewis was the star of the evening, how- ever, and the friends in her own home town were loyal toher, andthe house gave her a great send-off on her merita besides. She is a graceful little dancer and an attractive little womau. In the singing John MeWade’s rich baritone voice led all the rest and took the house by storm. There is only one McWade. Misses Fenton, Thurston and Carmen, as three noisy girls, got there in fine shape. Miss Merrill's beauty, Miss Somers’ — soprano voice and Miss Fuller's skirt dancing were worthy of especial notice. So_ also the quar- tet singing Messrs. MecWade, Hilton, Cut- ter, and O Donnell and the Irishman of Mr. Sulli- van, who is to the manner-born. Haxats’.—Mr. Chas. Erin Verner is not a new actor to Washington and the play presented last night has been seen here before. He was given a rousing welcome, however, when he made his appearance, which showed plainly that he is still a prime favorite. Mr. Verner ex- | celled bymself and threw a fervor into the part | of the lrish hero which simply captured the audience. The company should not be forgot- ten. Miss Katherine Walsh made a charming heroine and displayed great dramatic ability. Miss Ollie Evans made a vivacious soubrette and her songs and dances contributed greatly to the evening's entertainment. Mr. Wm. Ca- hill, as the villain, was “simply horrid,” as the jadies declared, yet his acting of the thankless rt was thorough and showed careful study. fhe other members of the company were good, all com! ing to e “Shamus O'Brien” one of the'cioverest plays that has been at the Bijou for s long time. Again tonight. Kenvay’s.—€ ill presented his famous World of Novelties at this theater last night before a large and appreciative audience. Many of the faces are entirely new to the patrons of the house and several of the acts have been re- moicled. A lengthy program received a good send-off with Huber and Allayne, who gave twenty minutes of innocent fun in a sketch en- titled, “Wanted, a Manager.” Miss Emily Pear! contributed several popular songs in a voice of considerable sweetness. Charles G. Seymour, in his scene from “The Lights o° Loudon,” proved himself a clever mimic. Lit- tle Chip, the baby actor, delighted every one and James E. Black dances as well and kicks higher without legs than the average man can with theta. ‘The club swinging of Gus Hill was truly marvelous and the club juggling of Chas. Hoey was dazzling. Eddie aud Josie Evans as the “Country Kids" were the favorites of the show and their act must be seen to be appre- ciated. The Judges are new faces and their act is original and dificult.

Cook and Cole for the defendant and Messrs. F. H. Mackey and H. O. Claughton for the plaintiffs. Mr. Clark was arrested some days ago on the writ, but securing » writ of habeas corpus the case was heard thereunder dast week by Judge Montgomery and the decision reserved. Such writs were common under the old Maryland law and wore frequently used in the collection of debts. It was the custom on arrest to commit to jail as long as the plaintiff would pay for his keep or to require bail for trial. Congress having abolished imprison- ment for debt the writ, it is claimed, is only in force when the debtor secks to defraud his creditors by refusing to disclose his property or otherwise to defraud the creditors. case now being before two judges there may be two different opinions. Yesterday Judge Cox decided the motion, argued in the Circuit Court on Saturday, to quash the writ as improvidently iseu and overruled the motion. Judge Cox held that it was the duty of ‘the clerk to iasue the writ on a proper showing, and that the afidavit Pon which “it “was "te: ued was suficient. ‘The defendant's counsel Mesars.

Judge Montgomery said he hed no donbt but ‘that under the general statute he had the right to ismne the writ of habeas corpus nor any doubt as to his power to take bail. He had given bril and now it is asked that the ren- dition be deferred till Wednesday that the titioner may remain on bail He regarded 4 Teasonable request and would grant it. Mr. Mackey said that the amonnt of jadginent ‘was $1,800 and costs and the bail but 91,500. Judge Montgomery directed the petitioner to file a new bond in $2,000, which was done.
