A Successful Trial Trip of the New Steamer Yesterday. ‘The new steamer City of Washington, one of the twin boats that are to run on the Potomac between here and Norfolk, was given her trial trip yesterday from the yard of the Harlan & Hollingsworth Co. at Wilmington.

She is neariy completed and will be ready for delivery on or before April, when she will be put on the route between Washington and Norfolk. A large party went over from this city for the thin! trip, among them: President, William A. Clark: vice president, Levi Woodbury: directors, H. D. Libby and Capt.

Aneatly dressed man, who is a pensioner, was in the Police Court today charged with carrying a loaded revolver. The name under which he was charged was John Hammond and he lives on College street near Howard Uni- versity, where he boards with a colored man named Gray. Policeman Mulloy arrested ‘him in the house and found a loaded pistol on him. Charles Gray made the complaint. There had been some words between them, and the old man, after making threat, went out and returned with the weapon. He also had more than his share of whisky. “Ob, I'm so drunk,” he said when he went in the house last night, and Gray, seeing the pis- tol in his pocket, went out and compiained to the police, because he was afraid that his boarder might kill him, Judge Miller recognized the prisoner as hav- ing come to court come days ago to intercede for a young girl who had been arrested and the fide said that be did not believe what he told um at that time, about his havii come over from Baltimore where he saw the girl's mother. “There's something mysterious about this man,” said the officer. “His mail is addressed to John Bay and he always destroys it as quickly ible.” ‘The court spoke of the case and said it was unfortunate that the prisoner was found in the house and not on the strect, as it is the right of every one to keep a weapon in his house. There was also a charge of threats against him, which the judge also referted to. “Does your honor think that he intended to kill this man?” asked Lawyer Moss. “I certainly do,” replied the judge, “and am going to do what [can to prevent it. ‘The charge of concealed weapons was dis- | 4 missed and he was required to give #300 bonds for the threat or go down for six mont A PISTOL AT A BIRTHDAY PARTY. Jerry Washington, a tall colored man who 1s a watchman at the brick yards in East Wash- ington, was called upon to explain why he had a loade® pistol in his mn last night when he started to a birthday party, otherwise called a “parlor social.” When Policeman Hendricks got near the house where the arrest was made last night he heard some noise, and some one said: “Don't let him in; ke's got a pistol.” “They Jerry in, for the offfeer arrested him and found the pistol on him. Jerry's excuse was that he was a watchman, but the judge told him even if he was a special policeman he would have no right to carry a pistol to a “parlor social.” Lawyer Hewlett argued thet Jerry's good jaracter should be taken in consideration. “If he hud murdered somebody,” said the judge, “the morning papers would have told of his good character in the past and wound up by telling of his going to & ‘parlor social” with a loaded pistol and the too-otten result.” It does seem to me,” continued Judge Miller, “‘that the pistol is as neceseary an ac- companiment ata ‘parlor social’ as the cake and wine.” In consideration of Jerry's good character and the nature of his business the court gave him the benefit of the lowest fine—$20 or sixty days—and remarked that no one who carries & dangerous weapon can eseape punishment. WE HAD A RAZOR. John Smith, a colored man who thinks his safety depends upon the nature of the weapon | he carries, was in the tous for carrying » mur- derous weapon called a razor. ‘The weapon had « home-made handle and could be used on another's throat without any danger to the person using it. Before being arrested by Policeman Denny John had been disorderly in a 7th-strevt saloon and made some remarks about usitig the pon. The officer's arrival was probably a timely one and he disarmed the member of the “razor toters’ club.” His punishment was fixed at the highest amount provided by law—=50 or three months at work on the farm. For being disorderly an additional fine of $5 was imposed. i epee oe Enjoining the Rogers Machine.
