Excursion tickets on sale at all Halusouce and Obio ticket oficen— Adee Angastas Twine, a colored citizen of Vir- ginia, learned something of city life this morn- ing while in this city, and his experience came near costing him $6. Augustus had been visit- ing friends and the time had arrived for him to return home. He went to the Baltimore and Potomac depot, bought a ticket for his home and took a seat in the car. He was sitting there in the car thinking of the good time he had had and of the enthusi- astic reception he would receive at home when a nicely dressed young man came through the car, tapped him on the shoulder and succeeded in playing the flim-flam game on him. The stranger was a pleasant talker and was ex- tremely accommodating. He had plenty of money, to all appearances, and, above all, he had many #1 bills s ‘The suall bills took up too much room in his pocket and he wanted larger ones for them. Five-dollar bills just suited and the unsuspect- ing colored citizen had two of them. Ene of the bills was produced and five ones were counted out on his knee. ‘Twine counted them and found them ail right and then the out. ‘The stranger had his & notes and he had what he thought was $10 of the stranger's money, but when he counted what he had he discovered that he only had 35. ‘The train was about to start then, but Twine got off to look for the man who had’ his money and he complained to Sergeant Joseph Acton. That officer arrested a man who gave his name as Winfield Bontz and Twine fully identified him as the man, although he denied that he | had seen Bontz before. | The prisoner had « railroad ticket in bis pocket for Hamilton, but that train did not ave until thirty minutes after the train on which the colored man was going. Bontz was taken to the Police Court and tried for larceny. Judge Miller ‘held him guilty of the charge and imposed a fine of $50 or sixty days in Jail and ordered restitution. ans IT WAS MES. FELDVOSS. The Body That Was Found in the Eastern Branch Yesterday. The body of a woman seen in the Eastern branch not far from the railroad bridge yester- day, as published in yesterday's Stat, was re- covered and brought ashore and soon after- ward the remains were sent to the morgue. Later in the afternoon Mr. Adolphus Feldvoss visited the morgue and identified the corpse as being that of his wife. Mr. Feldvoss with bis wife and daughter lived at No. 621 Penneyl- vania avenue southeast, where the husband has atailor shop. Mrs. Feldvoss has been « con- stant sufferer for a long time from nervous- ness and dyspepsia and several physicians treated her without success. Lately she be- came melancholy, and it was feared that her mind would become unbalanced. SHE TOOK LONG WALKS. Mrs. Feldvoss was fifty-two years old, and lately she bas been going out for long walks, Lincoln Park being one of her favorite places to visit. Sometimes she went out early in the morning and at other times she would go out in the afternoon and remain in the park or out walking fora long time. Yesterday she left her home before diuner and started out for walk, a8 she had many times before, but there was nothing unusual about her actions. She went in the direction of Lincoln Park, as ehe had on previous occasions, but instead of sitting in the shade of one of the large trees there she continued on her journey to a watery grave. Near the water's edge she sat on the green grass and removed her shoes and stock- ings and she laid her bonnet and gold-headed umbrella beside them. WALKED TO MER DEATH. ‘Thon she walked into the water and was drowned. During the day the unfortunate woman's busband was ont looking for her, but it was not until 5 o'clock that he went to the morgue and found bis wife's dead body on the cooling board. Coroner Patterson viewed the body and gave a certificate of death in accordango with the ruc a HUNG UP FOK THE PRESENT. Present Condition of the Political Assess- ment Cases the Courts. The cases of Verser and Newton, charged with violating the civil service law by receiv- ing contributions for political purposes, may be said to be hung ap for the present. In the | case of Newton a demurrer has been filed by his counsel, Mr. A. K. Browne and Judge Sims, attacking the constitutionality of the act, which has been certified to the General Term, and as that court is about to adjourn for the summer it will go over until the fall. Verser's case in on the Criminal Court docket and most likely will not be cailed till the Newton case is acted on in General Term. Mr. C. H. Armes, assistant district attorney, has had special charge of these eases and has beon doing what he could to secure a heering on demurrer, but the crowded condition of the calendar and the sickness ef the judges have heretofore pre- vented action.

Chapin in the rear of his residence,1735, Massachusetts avenue, was discovered on fire and Officer Goodman turned in an alarm. While so doing « burglar was trying to get into the house of M. E. Carrier, 1509 17th street,and having alarmed the inmates one of them ap- peared at the window and the man left two shots being fired at him. The officer could not leave the box and he made good his escape. Mr. Chapin’s house had, with the stable, been closed for the summer, and two carriages were removed by the firemen in safety from the lat- ter. The stable was damaged to the extent of $15. It is thought the place was set on fire by the thief who was shot at in carrying a lighted match to see what to steal. —— juburban Subdivisions. Several days ago Mr. A. M. Proctor, a non- | 2&9 resident, desired to subdivide a tract of land nd wrote a letter to his attorney in this city authorizing bim to act in his stead. The Com- missioners were not sure that the letter was sufficient and submitted the question to Assist- ant Attorney S. T. Thomas for his views. In bis opinion rendered yesterday afternoon Mr. ‘Thomas held that while the letter was sufficient it was a loose way of doing business and recom- mended that the Commissioners amend their regulations regarding the sub so as to require an owner, when he delegates power to subdivide Innd, to do it by duly ecle tomorrow at val le tract, situated nt tie nd Pierce Cleveland's country place.—Adet. piace! eaten Taree Brick Dwfitixes, Nos. 1605, 1607 » 1609 Mauion Starer, Berweezn 6ru axp 7m avy Q axp K Srukers. aT Avctioy.—Messrs. | Latimer & Sloan will sell this very desirable Pioperty tomarrow afternoon at 6 o'clock.

Acolored girl named Sarah Lewis, whose home is in Arlington, was in the city last night, and shortly after midnight she was found in Sonth Washington by Policemen Wagner and Troeter.

A meeting of citizens who are opposed to the removal of Principal Henry 8. Petty was held last night at Mr. George H. Armstrong's office. On motion of Mr. D. F. Lee Mr. David E. Haines was chosen chairman of the mecting. Judgo George H. Armstrong was elected aecre- tury. Among those present were A.D. Frisbie, W.” Marden ‘hing. William H. Peck, John FE. Minnix, J. R.

Mr. Frisbie, who wa’ first to speak, referred to Mr. Petty's long serv- ice, complimented his ability and stated that it was unfair to oust a teacher without preferring specitic charges against him. Mr. Petty, he said, had received no notice of any charges against him. Superintendent Powell had de- clared there were no charges against him and the trustees knew nothing about the matter. Mr. J. C. Leonard declared that an unfair advantage had been taken by demanding Mr. Petty’s resignation on the eve of a meeting of the board of trustees. Mr. W. Marden King also spoke in behalf of Mr. Petiy. On motion of John E. Minnix, Chairman Haines appointed Messrs. Frisbie, Leonard and Armstrong a committee to draft resolutions to be presented to the board of trustees tonight. The commit- tee adjourned to Dr. James A. Watson's office and the meeting took a recess of ono hour. The resolution reported “Protested most sol- emnly and emphatically against the removal of Mr. Petty, and that in tow of the nineteen " coutinuous and fuitbful service of Mr. he be not only retained, but promoted to the position and pay of an eighth grade teacher.” ‘The resolution was unanimously adopted. A committee was appointed to present it to the trustees tonight. ‘These committeemen are Messrs. H. Frisbie, Haines, Armstrong, Leon- ard, Peek, Appold, Minnix, King, Stangier, Bartley, Loveless, Fisher, Dodge, Reardon, Harrison, Williaras, Ashton, Webster. Petitions favoring Mr. Petty’s retention were drawn up and are in circulation today to be presented to the board thisevening. ‘The com- ittee will meet in Mr. Armstrong's office at 6:80 this evening and proceed in a body to Franklin School. A counter petition adverse to Mr. Petty was in circulation today and a delegation of citizens will present it to the board meeting tonight. Mr. Henry W. ‘folson had an interview yes terday afternoon with Superintendent Powell in reference to school matters. Superintendent Powell said he b: lieved was right in removing Bir.
