Judge Harper rendered a decision in the Police Court this morning m a case of cruelty to animals that will probably operate to the advantage of the many beautiful parkings in front of private houses. Mr. Frederick Stinzing. an old and respected citizen of South Washington, was charged with cruelly killing a dog that belonged to James Adams, one of his neighbors. Mr. Stinzing keeps a grocery and provision store on Maryland avenue between 6th and 7th streets, and in front of hishouse there is a wide parking. The grass is kept in splendid con- dition, and a number of large potted plants are set about, which makes the park » beautiful one. A fence incloses the parking, but it does not keep out the boys and dogs. Recently several boys and Mr. Adams’ pug dog were on the grass and Mr. Stinzing drove them off several times. When the dog last appeared it upset one of the large plants and Mr. Stinzing threw a stick He had no idea of injuring the animal, but the stick struck a vital spot and the dog’s death resulted. Agent Key procured a warrant and it was on compiaint that Mr. Stinzing was called upon to answer in the Police Court. ong the witnesses he produced was a six- *, but Judge Hagner did not think that the boy knew the nature of an oath and ld not hear his testimony. ‘The judge aid he did not like to see children brought i.to court in any capacity. Judge Harper said that the parks were not set apart for degs to ruin and he thought Mr. Stinzing had done oniy what any other citizen would have aone. He did not think that the dog was wantonly killed or that Mr. Stinzing intended to cause the animal any suffering. ‘Lhe charge was dismissed. a A Gata Werk at Bay Rivor—Dany Dams ny Wasurseros axp Bactimone Sotprens—AL1.

The quartermaster's department was every- where at once and the same time, and about everybody ‘else in the battalion was in_ the near vicinity. Upon auch occasions as this the quartermaster’s spe- cial duties make him at once the friend and the enemy of every man in camp, strangeand para- doxical as this may ap- ear. If he has 0 and evervthing that is QvAnTERM'R PARSoss. needed, military and unmilitary, from e hospital tent to common and has these things where he can go dfelded and pick them out, he is then, verybedy sixth battalion. Dull, lowering clouds, heavy rain, soggy condition of everything from front to center and a general fecling that service in the National Guard of the District of Columbia was not always what it was cracked up to be, pervaded the entire battalion. THE CAMP CHRISTENING. An interesting y wan performed at noon yesterday in the observance of all the ceremonies incident to the naming and proper designation of the camp. The rain having stopped and every appearance of clear weather being indicated, ‘the major issued orders for the battalion to assemblo at 12 o'clock noon to witness the raising of the flag and to hear the formal announcement of the name of the camp. The battalion was drawn up in line and wit pretent guns and the | ofticers saluting, he camp was formally named by Maj. George A. Barlett camp “Cecil Clay,” in honor of the commander of the second regiment of the Dis- trict of Columbia National Guard. The boys cheered again and again as the post_flag fluttered out to the breeze, and it was plainly evident that Col. Cecil Clay, whatever may be said by his critiques, was a favorite with the rank and file of the sixth battalion. The cere- nibny was a very impressive one, and those who witnessed it could not fail to realize ite importance. ‘The action of the management at Bay Ridge has been particularly gratifying to the mem- bers of tne sixth battalion. Everything that could be offered within the range of reason has been tendered in the way of assistance and ad- vice by the Bay Ridge Hotel Company. ARRANGING FOR RIFLE PRACTICE. Capt. Horton and Lieut. Vale have been very busy in arranging for rifle practice, but there have been many difficulties so far encoun- tered. The chances are that the battalion will have todo a little marching to and fro from the range, as an eligible site is difficult to se- cure within easy distance of the camp. There are any number of fine locations around the Bay Ridge grounds, but their proximity to the hotel and the possibility of danger arising from stray shots has induced Lieut. Vale to look outside the grounds for a site which will eliminate all objectionable features. ‘The discipline of the camp is well nigh per- fect. The redoubtable adjutant has put a West Point dress on everything. Maj. Bartlett, who is one of the most unassuming officers in the National Guard anti almost entirely devoid of any inclination for “putting on frills,” feels somewhat embarrassed at the display made in honor whenever he takes a turn around the camp. The guard is turned out, arms pre- sented, salutes, &c., whenever the ‘major pats in an appearance. ‘The medical department is in fine shape, and Surgeon Woodman feels glorious over the al- most entire absence of any one on the sick There have been a few canes of slight indispo- sition arising from change of diet and water, but beybnd this the health of the camp friend; but, aias, let him be mine of any thing or ‘any’ article of — outfit. and, loand vehold! the very atmosphere becomes hazy and takes on a decidedly bluish tinge from the frequently distorted and perverted ure of what iscommionly known as the “king's En- giish,”” and he is ‘considered the worst enemy that ‘mankind, particularly soldier possesced. However, there never \ wind that war not followed by a calm, and in spite of numeros difficulties ‘and perplexing situations the camp of the sixth battalion wat cchod, fallv equipped and ready for secu- x, before the dinner “all st 1 o'clock was nied. Great erdit is dye, in thi connec- tion, to Quartermaster Sergeant Richard J. Denna'ly, tae indefrtigable assistant to Lieut. John *W. Parsone, the quartermaster, who, m- der the lstter's ‘supervision, labored assidu- ously and intelligently to bring order out of chaos, and who wiccesded, most admirably in doing so. MILITARY DUTY COMMENCED. Promptly at 2 o'clock in the afternoon the round of military duty was taken ap and gnard was mounted for the first time in the camp. The ceremony was most admirably enacted under the guiding hand of thet most excellent right bower of Maj. Bartlett, Adjutant Alex- der B, MeDowell. This officer, by his com- manding presence and thorough’ knowledge of the tactics, aids m in making. the ceremonies in wi pates a decided suceess from a military standpoint. ‘The officer of the day was Capt. Jesse M. Bas- sett, the popular com- mande- oi the Treasury Guards, company B, assisted by Lieut. E. D. Smoot of company A, a8 senior officer of the guard, and Lieut. J.T. Bimpson of company C as junior officer of the guard. The guard de- tail on this the first day of camp had duty to perform about as oner- oux and exacting as Ml could wel: be imagmed. capr. esse 3. BASSETT. Tired and worn out with the labor already ac- complished in pitching the camp and getting their quarters in order, the members of the Treasury Guards must have felt but ill- prepared for # long tour of monotonous guard duty, but it is the business of the soldier to obey, and it is almost needlens to say that the duties assigned to Capt. Baxsett's detail were satisfactorily performed. During the evening the downpour of rain was continu- ousand violent, accompanied with high winds biowing with great force, but the guard detail continued its duty in spite of the elements, and when Adjutant McDowell made his rourds on Monday night he fourd the sentinels alert and active and guarding their posts with the fidelity of veteranx, challenging promptly and cor- rectly. Maj. Bartlett wax much pleased with the report in this connection made by the adju- tant. THE COMFORT OF BED SACKS. ‘The experience Monday night of the sixth battalion during the terrible downpour of rain before alluded to has proven to the entire satis- faction of the command that it is possible to go into camp without tent floors and be com- fortable tou degree that was hardly to be an- ticipated. This assertion rests toa grent ex- tent, of course, upon the nature of the soil upon which the camp is pitched Here, at Bay \dge, the soil is sandy and porous and readily absorbs all woisture, Hence the use of bed sacks filled with good, dry straw, is not at all incom- patible with comfortable sleep and rest. For the benefit of those whe do net know how the epartment boyx—the “fellows with patent- leather shoes and dud- manners,” us they are called by some—obtsin a gon~d night's rest, the explanation which follows may: be of interest: Abed sack ix simply 2 bel tick, made of can- vas, abont the size snfticient to over a small single bedstead, with a small slit or opening on one side, into which the dry struw is forced an- til the sagk assumes the proportions of the cele- brated “German er bed.” This in then laid on a “poncho” or rubber blanket, the lat- ter being plored on ihe ground, glazed wile down. Tt will thas be seen that no moisture from the gronnd can communicate itself to the sieeper. With tents, on sandy Soil, the use of tent floors would seem to be a superfluity. MANY FAIR VISITORS. Monday afternoon the camp was overrun ‘ith visitors from Baltimore and the national capital, among whom were a large representa- of the fair sex, who actually took posses- ion of the camp and explored ite every nook and corngr. Lieat. E. D. Smoot, senior officer of the guard on Monday, was born in old Virginia, in the historic county of Fairfax, on April 27, 1851. Early in bis youth he rem~ved to Wasb. ington, D. C., graduating with bigh honors in the public schools of that city. shortly after his graduatior he became interested in military matters, and, 2n account of his faithful aud meritcrious service, wax unanimously elected second lieutenant of company A. Post Office and Interior Guards, sixth. battalion, and efter eerving a probationary period in this ~apacity and ing a mort creditable examination be- fore the b board of examiners, was pro- moted to the first lheutenancy of the same com- pany, and received his commission on July 4 1890, Independence day. Lieut. Smoot is of revolutionary descent, his grandfather having served in the war for independence and the earlier Indian wars. He is very popular with his company and is a deserving soldier. The following orders were read by Adjutant McDowell just after supper on Monday evening: “Headquarters Sixth Battalion, D. C. N. G. “Bay Rie, ae 8, 1891. “Orders No. 27. “I. Capt. W. E.

The latter, like all els entrusted to it, is safe in thn hands of the ever-reliab’e sixth. Cec Chay, Colonel, Seeond Regiment. The onthnsiaam created by the reading of this telegram was unbounled. If Col. Clay had heen present he wonld never have had the slightest donbt ns to the loyalty of the sixth battalion and its devotion to the interests of the second regiment. ‘The camp is full of newspaper correspond- ents from Raltimore and other flies, who are indefatigable in their search after news apper- taining to the camp. ‘The boys aro beginning to get acquainted i the beauties and attractions of the place, it is hard to go anywhere within the grounds without finding them represented. Bathing was largely indulged in yesterday after- noon by a number of then.

The first applicants at the office of the clerk of the court this morngg for a marriage license were a young couple from Staunton, Va., who gave their names as Thomas R. Long and Mary Margaret Fisher, and they were ac- companied by a gentleman friend, who came to assist. The young man was about twent one years of age and nppeared to be in his y working clothes, while the young lady, perbaps three years his junior, was quite handsome and was attired in « tasty brown dress. They did not disguise the fact that they came here to outwither parents, who objected to the union principally on the score of youth. ‘The lady, while Clerk Hodges was making out the license, spoke freely of their departure from their homes at an early hour and was quite anxious to know if they would find any ditticulty in obtaining a minis ter who would finish the job. When it was sug- gosted that there was a ‘iinister in the build- ing they readily accepted the services of Mr. Hollohan, a messenger of the court, and he went for Kev.

Residents and Property Owners Want Them Laid Near the Curb. The Commissioners this morning received from a delegation of residents and property owners, composed of Messrs. Thomas W. Suuith, John G. Slater, C.T. Bride, T.J. Mayer, Joseph Hartman and Dr. M. M. Moffett, a petition from the residents of East Washington protesting against the Washington and Georgetown Rail- road Company placing their cable tracks in the center of Batreet between ist and 2d streets southeast, instead of laying the sumo near the curbing slong the entire length of the now library site. tition states as reasons for the protest that B street furnishes the only direct com- manication for trattic between nis avenue northwest and Pennsylvania avenue southeast, and at present it is entirely too nar- row for the amount of travel which must neces- sarily pass over it. And further that the laying of the cable line in the center of the street will be both dangerous to life and detrimental to the interest of the entire southeastern section. ee 7.90 Boys a good business suit at E.

DISTRICT POLITICS. ‘What is Being Done in Both Republican and Democratic Circles. SOME ACTIVITY IX THE FORMER ACCORDING TO W. CALVIN CHASE AND PERRY CARSON: \‘T THEY SAY ABOUT DELEGATES—THE DEMO- CRATS QUIET ACCORDING TO MB. GARDNER. The local republican politicians are at work Preparing for the convention next year and the question of which particular faction will send the two delegates is now agitating the different leaders. Each faction seems confident of vie- tory and each leader expects to go to the con- vention and also name the other delegate who is to go with him. Among the many claims of the leaders f one that the fight this year will be an orderly one and®will not be a repetition of the last disorderly gathering that was called s convention. The young republicans are boast- ing that they will carry the day and defeat the old war horses, as some of the older politicians call themselves. In making this assertion they do not refer to Andrew Gleeson, as th he has # pull with all factions, and if he is a candidate he can be elected without much trouble. While that is the general feeling there are some who claim that Gleeson will not be in it this time and that some man like M. M. Parker will be sent to cast one vote for the District in the nominat- ing convention. MR. CHASE SAYS HE WILL GO. Editor W. Calvin Chase of the Bee is the rec- ognized leader of the young republicans and he asserts that the old war horses cannot possi- bly defeat him. “Iam going asa delegate to the convention,” is what he says, “and will be elected by a respectable body of men.” Exactly when the convention will be held is not known, nor is it known when the primaries will be held in this city. Should the conven- tion be held as early as May or June the pri- maries will be held here about the latter part of November or some time in December, as essa to is always the first to elect its dele- gates. Maj. A. H. S. Davis is chairman of the repub- lican central committee and he will no doubt calla meeting soon after the meeting of the national committee. ‘There are twenty-two election districts and each is entitled to five delegates and two alter- nates in the convention und to three mem- bers and two alternates of the central commit- tee. The young republicans, under the leadership of Editor Chase, are going to make a new move in the way of securing a reform this year, as their leader says that bulldozing has played the most importaut part in past elections. PLAN OF THE YOUNG REPUBLIC Their plan, as stated by Editor Chase, is to ask that the voters register a week or so before the primaries are held and have the election carried on ina manner aimilar to the elections in the states. ‘This, he says, would bring about much needed reform, if sich a thing Is po:- sible. “But,” ho says, “this will be opposed by the Carson facton. They don't want fair elections, for it would mean defeat for them.” Editor Chase says that should the plan eug- gested be adopted it will bring out more re- spectable citizens to the polls and there will be Ro repetition of the past disorderly gatherings. ‘Thon,again,he says it will bring out the young white republicans, who have promised to take part in the proceedings and help send two rep- resentative republicans tothe convention. On account of the large number of candidates this year, Editor predicts lively convention, but be says there will not be the chance for criticism that there was tour years ago. NAMES LIKELY TO SE MENTIONED. Among the persons whose names have been. mentioned «i likely to come before the conven- tion are B. H. Warner, M. M. Parker, Commis- sioner J. W. Douglass, Perry Carson, Prof. J. . Gregory, Andrew Gleeson, W. Calvin Chase, John H. Smythe, H.W. Coftin, John F. Cook and Maj. a. H. 8. Davi. COL. PERRY CARSON TALKS. “I have not yet decided whether I will run as a candidate or not,” suid Perry Carson, “but the chances are that I will run, and no other candidate can defeat me. ‘How about Nir. Chase's candidacy?” he was asked. ‘He hasn’t any show in the worid,” was the reply. “Mr. Chase,” he continued, “has claimed since 1576 that he was the leader of the young republicans, but I tell you he is not the leader ot anything. He has always been a can- didate, but so faras T know he has never re- ceived a complimentary vote.” Speaking of his own candidacy Mr. Carson said he hac no desire to go to the convention this year, us the expense was a good decl and he aione ‘had to defray it. Concerning the registration suggestion of Mr. Chase, he said the voters were perfectly satisfied with the present mode of electing the delegates and there was no money to pay for poll vooks, &c., that would have to be had for such purposes. ‘MASS MEETINGS POPULAR. ‘Mass meetings, he said, was the popular manner of electing the delegates, and that was adopted after the board of public works was wiped out of existence. At that time, he said, interest had died out in republican politics and Mr. Gleeson. Phil Juhan and himself revived interest and adopted the present mode of elect- ing delegates, which was ratitied by the people. “there is some opposition to me among cer- tain people,” he said, “but it is a personal matter. “Such persons as William H. Jones, Bernard West, Marcellus West and other high- toned politicians are opposed to me, but their opposition amounts to nothing.” air. Carson said that he would pay but little attention to the matter before the meeting of the national committee. conclusion he referred to Mr. Chase and smiled when he said that he (Carson) captured three delegates in his (Chase's) district four years ago. IN MR. CARSON'S INTEREST. Lawyer Moss, who lives in the first district, which includes Hillsdale and a number of smal, village y to a reporter today that he had been spoken to by a number of pe sons in his district who had requested him to run for the city convention in the interest of Carson. DrMOCRATS QUIET. So far asconid be learned today there is little actual activity among tocal democratic politicians as yet in regard to the selection of delegates to tht next democratic national con- vention. As Mr. Lawrence Gardner, one of GEORGETOWN. DEATH OF RICHARD P. JACKSON. One by one in rapid succession the old citi- zens of Georgetown are passing away. Last night about 11 o'clock at his home on O street, surrounded by his entire family, Mr. Richard P. Jackson, the author of “Chronicles of Georgetown, fully gave up his life. Death resulted ‘& general breaking up of the system. For over two-score Mr. Jack- son has been classed at or near the head of the list of prominent and nsefal citizens, and his death is a loss to the community. For several weeks he has been very low, and th ee days ago Drs. Peters and Appleby settied that he was medical assistance. To the mo- ment his death Mr. Jackson retained his bright mind and remarkable memory. He was born November 6, 1816, of Quaker rents in the same house he at the time of his leath occupied asa law office. He began his business life asaclerk ina y store, and in leisure hours studied law from which he graduated many yeare ago. | From his earliest youth Mr. Jackson was attached to the city of his birth, and nothing pleased him better than to of the that was a thriving town when the city of Washington was unknown. Scarcely had he graduated from law, when he ‘to collect the material for thronicles.” After working hard all day he would in the silence of night delve into musty volumes, hunt over old records or draw! from his own remarkable memory, and in 1878 the principal happenings of the town from the day of its founding were printed under one cover. He rofessed no particular religion, but would isten to a sermon in a Catholic church with as much pleasure and reverence as if it were delivered in the Methodist, the church of his family. During his last sickness Mr. Jackson several times expressed a willingness to die. He leavos.a wife, two sons, Mr. W. 8 Jackson, the lawyer, and Mr. Lewis Jackson of the firm of Stormont & Jackson, printers, and three daughters. Mr. Jackson left bis family well provided for... the most promixent of the local democrats, ex- pressed it: ‘Le convertion is almost too far off to stir up much excitement.” The local central con:mittee will some time during the winter settle on the time for hold- ing the various district elections at which dele- gates to the local convention will be elected. ‘The local convention will then, as usual, select the delegates to attend the national convention. Practically no work has as yet been done to further the interests of any especial candidates for delegates. There is’ some talk among the friends of various prominent men, which simply boiled down means: Smith says to Brown, why would not Jones bea good man to represent the city? The distriet elections will be held some time in March or April. THE LEAGUE MEETING IX XEW YORE. The main topic among local democrats is the departure on the 11th of Mr. Lawrenco Gardner for New York to attend a meeting of the executive committee of the National Association of Democratic Clubs. ‘Tho execu- tive committee is composed of Congressman Wm. L. Wilson of West Virginia, president; Lawrence Gardner, secretary; | Congressman Harry Welles tusk of Maryland, Robert G. Mon- roe of New York, Alex. f. Ankony of Minne- sota, Chauncey F. Biack of Pennsylvania, Har- vey N. Collinson of Massachusetts, Koswell P. Flower of New York, George H. Lambert of New, Jersey, Charles Ogden of Nebrasba, Brad- ley G. Schley of Wisconsin and Edward B. Whitney of New York. ‘Khe association expects to do some hard work during the next campaign in the doubt- ful states, and to that end strenuous efforts are being put forth to thoroughly organize the membership. ‘The association has correspond- eutsin every county possible, who make con- tinued ‘and detailed reports to the secretary concerning the political movements and pros- pects in the county. ‘The secretary of the ex- ecutive committee is for the purpose of review- their correspondence taking such {ith as moses bk me gna 7.90 Boys a good business suit at E.

Hezekiah Turner, an old colored man, known to every man, woman and child in town, died this morning at 7 o'clock in his seventy-second year. For a long time he was sexton of the Gay Street Baptist Church, but was obliged to resign his position several months ago on ac- count of ill health. He was much respected by all, and was considered as one of the leading colored men in town. psd ANACOSTIA, THE LADIES’ LOT LEAGUE. The Ladies’ Lot League of the M. E. Church mot last night at the residence of its presi- dent, Mrs. McLean. The members reported that the new Methodist church was no longer an air castle, but would soon be a fifteen-thou- sand-dollar ‘matter of fact. ‘The lots imm-di- ely at the rear of the present structure ba n bought and architectural plans will soon be submitted. The new church is to be either of stone or brick, with a lofty steeple. It is a question whether a chapel will be built along- aide or whether the new church will be fitted out with a basement for the accommodation the Sunday school, Epworth League, King’s Daughters and the library. Th latter plan is most favored. The present church as frame aud too small for the congregation. It is the oldest church here, being built, says Rev. Dr. Richardson, in 1859, ‘THE MITE soctrry.

HEAD MASS OF PUTREFACTION. DOC- TOR FAILS. CURED IN QUICK TIME BY CUTICURA. Tdeem tt my duty to inform you of the wonderful cure of ecsema which CUTICURA REMEDIES brought upon our little baby three months old. When about twoand one-half months old the whole of its Little head became one mass of putrefaction. over hich we becane very much alarmed, as the medicine prescribed by our physician only seemed toageravate and increase the intense pain the little thing seemet to beim. We were utteriy at a loss to know what to do, as the physician seemed to have exhausted ali efforts to ive relief. But through the recommenda- tion of Rey. J. G. Ahern, pastor of Brooks Circuit M. E. Church Society, we were imduced to try the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and after a few days’ ap- Plication we were astonished as weil as delighted over the result. We continued the use of the med: icine according to directions, and after a few weeks the Little fellow was entirely cured. with no traces of ‘the disease left. Many thanks for this wonderful cure. ‘MRS. JOHN HOLSTELN. Quitman, Ga.
