A Woman's Clothes Take Fire From = Kitchen Stove. Cries of “fire,” loud enough to be beard sev- eral squares distant, attracted Policemen Hel- ler and Williams to the bouse of Josephine Butler, No. 1322 D street northwest, about 2 o'clock this morning. The officers were on Pennsylvania avenue, but they lost no time in getting to the house. Upon renching the prem- ines they saw smoke issuing from the doors and windows and from the peculiar odor they were positive that human life had been destroyed by the flames. ‘The inmates of the house had retired early in the night and a colored woman named Frances Lewis, who is better known as “Big Frances,” had been left down stairs where she was going toxleep. It was cold outside and Frances se- lected the warmest place in the honse to mak: her bed on several chairs. She had been sick and bad rubbed herself with Mustang Liniment, some of which got on her clothes. She made her bed close to the kitchen fire and went to sleep. She had been at the house of Josie Long, 1317 D street, where she was in service, during the day. By some unknown means her bedding and elothes took fire and before the flames awakened her she wax burned so badly that recovery was impossible. Ned Green, who was asleep in the house, was tife first to reach the kitchen in response to the woman's screams and the officers arrived soon afterward. Her screams and cries for hel; were heartrending, and those who responded did all in their power to extinguwh the flames and save her life, but while they were so en- xed the sufferer fell to the oor. She was ‘There is no one to be blamed for the affair except the woman herself, for she put the chairs so near the stove that they almost touched it. Although the burning of her clothing made quite « biaze the house was not at all damaged. An alarm of fire was sounded from box 161, but the services of the firemen were not needed. After the excitement was over the charred body of “Big Frances” was removed to the morgue. The deceased was about thirty-two years old and leaves one daughter aged twelve years. During the excitement the proprietress of the house and several of the inmates attempted to get ont the second-story window, but through the efforts of Policeman Helier and a man who was in the house they were prevented from doing so. Josephine Butler, the proprietress, sprained her ankle, but that was = injury sus- tained, except that Mamie Hall euflered trom nd had to be cared for. —— ‘The Catholic University.

It employs a lot of cheap and incompetent people to go around and make what they call “tests” of baking powders, which simply mean condemning every kind ex- cept the one they peddle. So ignorant and un- principled are parties that where two samples from the same package have been given them they have pronounced one very Good and the other very bad. ‘They indiseriuat- nately condemn the best known goods of very highest reputation which in any way compete with their own. All the high-class grocers are dealing largely, and have been for years, in the baking powders condemned by these itineranta, and they resent the accusation that they are selling impure jerated goods, especial] as they know it to be untrue and’ made for purely mercenary purposes. An evidence of the fraudulent intent of these parties exists in the fact that in several in- stances they have been given their own baking powder to examine, when, supposing it to be another, they have unhesitatingly condemned it us adulterated. Methods of this kind indicate both of the first principles of business and absence of either honor or morality, and will disgust consumers as well as dealers. —Baltimore News. ed Haxosome New Resipexce at Avctiox.—To- morrow a 7, at 5 o'clock, Messrs.

Clerk Potts performed his duty in the jury court, while Deputy Clark Harper arraigned the privonersin the municipal end of the temple of justice. There was a great deal of running up and down stairs, and the la rs found gard digicult to watch their Cheap clients on bot floors. Some difficulty was also experienced in getting the witnesees in the pr places and calling the collateral lists. In addition to those who had busmess before thecourt there were many disinterested spectators who assisted in swelling the crowd. In Judge Kimball's court Bailiff Kendig had fall charge of the prisoners and witnesses and the duty of leading the procossions of prisoners also devolved upon him. In the jury court Builifis Hooe and Botts were on duty and the latter had charge of the prisoners. Judge Kimball dealt out justice to the appli- cants ina manner that indicated that he was anything buta new hand at the business and said “35,” “90 days” and “step aside,” which is suid by nearly every police country, just as though he was business. ‘Two pretty Salvation Army captains were in court and their poke bonnets and plain blue suite attracted attention, and they sat in court and seemed interested in hearing the trials of the outcasis of society, whom they are in- terested in reclaiming. ‘The prisoners tried by Judge Kimball wore brought up in. several processions, and there were enough of them alone to fll’ the court room.

There was an exciting fight in the Watson- Bensley household, in Ridge street alley, about 1 o'olock yesterday morning, which resulted in the wounding of Allen Watson and his wife, Charlotte, and Allen’s stepson, Squire Beasley. Besides the large quantity of blood that was spilled much noise was made and the whole neighborhood was aroused. The house isin the rear of No. 440N street and is occupied only by the one family. Charlotte has three grown children, one son and two daughters, but they were not at home Saturday night until a late hour. When they arrived they found that Allen, who was under the influence of liquor, had beaten their mother. Squire, who Just'recovered from the effects of 4 shot in the leg, took his mother’s part, and then it was that the most serious part of the trouble occurred. Squire's mother’s head was badl cut and soon after that wound was inflict Squire was cut several times by his stepfather, who had a razor. He was cut about the joulder and collar bone, but in the fight he id not forget to defend himself, and one thing he did in that direction was to strike the old man on the head and inflict a wound which will make him remember the fight for some time. Officer Trammell of the second precinct appeared at the house before the blood had been cleared away and put an end to the domestic difficulty by arresting Allen and lock- ing him up. The lamp which Squire struck ier with was broken in a thousand P Squire and his mother walked all the way to the pe ped Hospital, where Dr. Hall =, wounds and they then returned ome. When Judge Miller heard the case this morn- ing and the testimony was given it was shown that the old woman did the first fighting and that Watson, who was crowded to the wall, acted entirely in self defense, and he was therefore discharged. aa DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. ‘WANTS A BRICKLAYER APPOINTED. Ata meeting of the Bricklayers’ Union oh Friday evening a committee composed of Messrs. Thomas J. Foley, John Wolf and Frank P. Carr was appointed to wait upon the Com- missioners and suggest the importanco of har- ing a practical bricklayer as an assistant to the inspector of buildings appointed to inspect buildings built of brick, as such an assistant would be better versed in that kind of work. This morning the committee called upon the Commissioners and left a letter setting forth the above facts and stating in conclusion that in view of the large buildings about to be erected this season they woula be pleased to sppese before the Commissioners and explain the importance of this matter more fully. The Commissioners will grant the request. NUISANCE COMPLAINED OF. Mr. George E. Emmone forwarded to the Commissioners today a petition from the ten- ants of certain buildings in the vicinity of the Ambush school, on L street between 6th and ‘7th streets southwest. complaining that during recess the school children to the number of one hundred or more continuously congregate in front of the dwelling houses, making s great deal of noise, throwing stones and breaking the glass in the windows of the dwellings in the neighborhood. The owner of the buildings from whom these complaints come is Mr. B. H. Warder, who asks through Mr. Emmons, his representative, that some action be taken to abate the nuisince complained of. Mr. Warder does not wish to be understood as complaining against the school by reason of its being a col- ored school, and says the same complaint would be made were the school a white school and the children acted in the same manner. ‘A NEW CATCH BASIN. The Commissioners have ordered the con- struction of a catch basin on the east side of 12th street northeast, near the south building line of N street, for the purpose of flushing the sewer recent! -onsiructed on that street. q A PUMP OUT OF ORDER ‘The public pump on Lincoln avenue between 8 and T streets extended being out of repair and past remedy, Capt.
