The trial of Edward King, the alleged policy backer, for unlawfully promoting the game of policy, which was begun before Judge Miller Tuesday. was concluded yesterday. Lawyers Edward H. Thomas and W. P. Wil- liamon, for the defendant, made lengthy argu- ments in behalf of their client, but Prosecuting Attorney Mullowney waived both his opening and closing arguments as he was satisfied that the testimony was clear and conclusive. Judge Miller charged the jury and it took but a few minutes for them to reach the conclusion that the defendant was guiltyas charged. King, as heretofore stated, was arrested as one of the backers of the “old firm.” +He was caught While coming over the Long bridge from Vir- ginia with the drawings and money. Detective Block, who bad charge of the ease, says that ker, alth: money. When arrested King told the officer that he | was not the backer, and when the officer asked him for the backer’s name he said he would go to jail for six mouths before he would tell. hing, the officer says, is not_known by name to all the writers, as many of them know him only as “Artie.” After the jury rendered their verdict Judge Miller asked King if he had anything to say why sentence should not be imposed and he ré- plied that he had nothing to «a A sentence of five months in jail was im- posed and a fine of €100 and the costs of the Prosecution were added. Counsel gave notice that they would apply for & writ of error to take the case to the higher court and pending such proceedings the defendant was admitted to bail. In the case of William B. Baldwin, who, it is alleged, was Mr. King’s clerk, Mr. Muliowney entered a nollie pros. ‘Tonight there will be a erformance of “Fanchon” at the Academy of llusic for the benefit of the Gen. morial Association.

To the Editor of The Evenims Star: You are, I trust, familiar with the biblical story of the “bright star” leading the wise men, so I trust that your “bright rays” will lead the attention of the modern “wise men,” the Commissioners, to the fearful condition of 1ith street lying between Pand T streets north- west. While not m favor of a monopoly like the Washington and Georgetown railroad, I fail to see the equity and justice of the Com- missioners’ ruling, requiring them to have only two squares torn up ata time, while the above district has been mud, brick, water and sand for the last six or eight weeks. Is the inspector for that section a_ member of the B. A. Paving Yo., that he blindly shuts his eyes to the exist- tate of affairs? If he properly superin- led his work the sewer on 11th street be- tween T and U streets would not have been vked with sand and other debris, backing the water in the cellars and basements of the houses on the east side of that square. If he properly attended to his duties he would see that the crossings at 1th and K and 1th and S streets in the car tracks were properly fixed instead of existing miniature ponds. a ASR Struck by Lightning. During the storm yesterday the lightning struck ashed at Ivy City and killed one of a pair of horses of Mr. ©. C. Duncanson and damaged the shed. The horse was valued at 7200.

' THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C. qTHuxspay JULY 16, 1891. ALL READY FOR THE MARCH. The Cavalry Troops Will Start on Saturday Morning—Their New York Associates. ‘The armory of the cavalry troops just about now presents as lively an appearance as a good- sized bechive in full working order. Every man is hard at work getting together his equipments for the practice march commencing next Satur- day morning,and from all appearances as trim- | looking a lot of soldiers will march away that day as Washington ever looked upon. As stated in Tre Star, the local troopers will be accompanied by a delegation from the New York cavalry, troop A,one of the crack organi- zations of the New York National Guard. The first installment of this delegation reached Washington this morning in the shape of Capt. Roe and six of his men. Eight more of the New Yorkers will arrive tomorrow, ready to fall in when “boots and saddles” sounds on Satur- day morning. The New York troopers will prsctically be considered as members of ti local cavairy on this march and will be under the command of Capt. Barbour. The captain of the New York cavalrymen, Charles F. Roe, sures sevcral inches over six fect in heigl ‘o far as known the York detachment will of Capt. Roe, Lieut. Oliver D. Bridge- sergt. John J. Holley, Corpls. G. Hurry, G. E. Throop, A.

The route GEORGETOWN, CAUGHT IN THE RAIN. Just as the rain came down the hardest yes- terday a sorry group of female picnickers was seen to come from the direction of the New Cut road. They were not hurrying and scurrying ‘as most picnickers do when they get caught, as it was then of no use, for their light summer garments hung about their fair forms in a drip- ping, unshapely condition. As they slepped along wooden plates and water-soaked deli- cacies were thrown from the baskets and varie- gated damaging streams ran off gaily bedecked summer hats. Discontented though they were with an outside wetting a stop was made at the old “bear pump" and the inner woman dam; ened. Then they straggled southward in the direction of the Metropolitan cars and dryly clad people laughed an unenviable laugh. ‘ONLY A PENNY. A government official, while passing through town yesterday, saw a penny lying on the side- walk. Fora moment he stood looking at it with the air of a millionaire, then turnmg he beckoned a newsboy, and, with his lang index finger, to it without a word. Stooping the w athered it up in a pantomimic fashion, nd with a look of wonder on his face, made of uncertainty whether this act on that ofticial’s part was born of charity or of pride. THE DEATH OF RANDOLPH EATON. Randolph Eaton, the young man who was killed yesterday by the fall of «derrick, as stated in yesterday's Star, lived in a canal boat and was a member of one of the gangs of men employed in repairing the canal. The {etal accident happened not far from Green Springs, where the men re at work. The breaking of the stay rope caused the accident, and Eaton's skull was fractured so badly that he died almost instantly. John Green, a col- through the city will be from armory to H, to 10th, to F, to 15th, to Pennsylvania avenue, to Georgetown. From Potomac the route goes up through Maryland. to Harper's Ferry and then down throtgh Virginia to Fort Myér and home. The troop returns August 1. ” ee THE BROWN DIVORCE, CASE. An Appeal Will Be Taken to the Court in General Term. In the case of Clara R. Bell Brown agt. Aus- tin P. Brown, in which Judge Hagner on Tues- day ordered the bill to be dismissed, the com- plainant has, by D. W. Glassic, taken an appeal to the Court in General Term. ‘The original case, in which the parties were divorced, was filed by Mrs. Brown October 1, 1878, and answer being filed, an immediate hearing was stipulated for and had, which re- sulted ina decree of divorce, with £1,000 per annum alimony and $1,000 per year for the support of the children. In the present bill she asked for a divorce and alleged that she was nota party to the first suit and was not bound by that decree, and never signed or swore to that billand that the charge in the original bill was not true and no such cause existed as is contained in the bill. She stated that she made repeated efforts to see the papers, but failed, as they were not on the files of the eourt,'and it was not until duly, 1889, that she discovered the fraud prac- ticed upon her. She does not say that there amaging to her character in the y udge Hagner said f her application to sce the papers had been made sooner the court would bave seen that they were bronght into the court, and had it been brought to the notice of the court within a reasonable time the matter would have been inquired into. He could not afier the lap@ of twelve years, during which the parties had married, treat the first decree as a nullity. — THE CONTRACT FOR FORAGE. The Price Agreed Upon is in Excess of the Present Market Kate. Capt. Rossell recently wrote a letter to the Engineer Commissioner calling attention to the fact that the award of a contract by the Commissioners for forage for the District was made at a very high price and, if the contract is made, stated that it would cost about twice as much this year to stable and feed horses as it did last. For instance, the price of oats, as mentioned in the bids recently opened, wa» 74 cents a bushel, while they can be bought at present for 55 cents and a contract can be made for the whole year for 65 cents. In the face of this, and also the informality and irregularity of the award of the contract for forage, Capt. Rossell says it seems proper, if it be legal, that acontract be made at a lower price. fn cordance with his suggestion the attorney the District has been asked to render an opin- ion on the facts as above stated. It seems that | while the contract has been awarded and signed y the contracting party the Commussioners Lave not executed the bond, and the primary question which the attorney will be asked to consider is whether in this case the Commis- sioners can throw out all bids and readvertise. The law in the case distinctly stipulates at the Commissioners shall not enter into contract with any party for the furnishing of supplies at a price exceeding the market value of same. ALEXANDRIA, THE COMMITTFE oN LIGHT. Some of the committees of the vity council are in themselves minor boards and transact in detail much of the municipal business. Tue comuittee on light isa sort of gas light com- | ny and has the entire charge of the gas works | and of the electric light plant. Hon. Lewis MeKensie has been chairman of this committee | but on his retirement from “ater has been substi- id the management of the is now in the hands of Alder- Hinkin and Councilmen | M.D. It isn tuted in his place caty light we t order, the city having put wis of dollars there within the CORPORATION covRT. The corporation court, Judge Norton, is still in session, transa business in both ate criminal and civil branches. Henry Washing- ton and Thomas Burden have been convicted | of houeebreaking and larceny and sentenced each to four years’ imprisonment in the pent: tentiary at Richmond. C. Ponet, indicted for avsault and battery, has been acquitted. The court has dismissed the eases of Harlan agt. Vogelgesang and of Jenkins agt. Vogelgesang. On tomorrow the suit of the city of Alexandria agt. the Virginia Iron Ship Building Company for rent due on the corporation property at the foot of Duke street will be tried. Mr. Samuel G. Brent appears for the city and Mr. S. Fergu- son Bexch for the ship building comp: which was originally “the iron boom.” The trial will bring up several interesting questions as to the powers of the city council. LITTLE CHANGE. The election by the city council on Tuesday night has made only the slightest ripple of change in the operations of city government. ‘The new keeper of the town clock was already serving as temporary officer in that position, and the change of ‘Policemen Simpson and Price for Messrs. Ferguson and Crump will make less change in the police force, because Mayor Downham had Officer Price under sus- pension during the last portion of his term. ‘THE NEW MARKET. Work will be begun next week on the new market shed, which Contractor Winston has in charge. The new shed will be sheathed with iron and will cost about $2,500. While the work of putting up the shed is in | progress some of the benches now in use will | be set aside for temporary service. When the improvements contemplated are completed the Alexandria market square wifl compare favora- bly with any market place in Virginia, ores. ‘The proposals for odorless night service here will be opened by the mayor on the 17th of August next. Mr. John A. Minor, a well-known Alexan- drian, has had his shoulder dislocated by being thrown from a carriage near Anderson, W.Va., ored man, was also slightly injured. Eaton's body is now at his father’s home on a canal boat and his funeral will probably take place tomorrow. POLICE COURT CASES. Thomas Walker was before the Police Court today charged with the larceny of a pair of trousers and a vest belonging to Thomas Love- less. ‘The principal witness in the case wasa colored woman who was fishing in the canal, when, she said, she saw the detendant climb in the house and ‘come out with the clothes. A sentence of thirty days was imposed. George Riggs and Garfield Active, colored boys, were betore Judge Miller this mornin, charged with larceny. The amount involve wasT cent and the person whose name ap- peared as complainant war a boy mfimed. Rich~ ardson. The boys, it is alleged, were out near Lyon's mills on Rock creek, where boys go bathing, and it was there that’the offense is al- leged to have been committed. The amount THE HAYTIAN REVOLT. Insurgents Organize at Kingston, Jamaica, Under Gen. Prophete. ‘The New York World says the Haytian revo- Iutionists who were exiled to Kingston, Ja- maica, met in general assembly June 29 and elected Gen. Anselme Prophet general-in- chief of their forces. The new commander bi issued an address to the people of Hayti, in which, after reciting Gen. Hippolyte's recent ferocities, he says the time has come to drag from power a tyrant who has only the insanity of murder for a virtue, and calls on his fellow- citizens to have confidence in his policy and support him in delivering his country. The new commander is considered one of the ablest soldiers Haytiever produced. The exiles are preparing to make an attack on the of Hippolyte. but will not be ready for some time. Their plans are to land at or near Jeremie, on the southern coast. It is a hotbed of revolutionary sentiment. Shonld Gen. Prophete succeed in landing his forces there and then co-operating with the people of Ja- cema, who are expected to revolt, the exiles are confident of driving Hippolyte off the island. ——__-+e+ —___ Photographers’ Association Officers, There was a marked increase in the attend- ance when the twelfth annual convention of the Photographers’ National Association was called to order in Buffalo yesterday.

About forty convicts employed as miners by the Tennessee Mining Company at Briceville, Anderson county, Tenn., were released early yesterday morning. Two hundred and fifty armed miners and indignant men went to the mines and took the convicts from the guards. No violence was offered, but the convicts were told they could go free if tney wished. Two of them wanted liberty and left, but the others, fearing capture, and not having a change of clothes, refused the offer. The prisoners were placed in a car and brought to Knoxville, where Superintendent Doodwin is awaiting orders. ‘The coal company officials claim that they were forced to employ convict labor and shall ask the lessee of the penitentiary and the state to | protect them in the contract recently made. ‘The governor and two companies of militia are on their way to the scene of the trouble, and as 150 convicts are expected to arrive at the mine today the matter may result in blood- ehe infant son of Charles d Monday evening Cax You Ear Heartily, with relish and without distress afterward? 1f not we recommend to you Hood's Sarsaparilla, which creates a good appetite and at the sume time so inviorates the stomach and Lowels that the food is yesterday. 3 Mason Stephens, J.
