Mr. Poates, accompanied by Mr. Grifith, went yesterday to the Anderson home, at the corner of Wash- ington and Adams streets, for the clothes and other things which Mrs. Poates carried there | just previous to her departure. Mrs. Ander- son, his mother-in-law, refused to give them to | him and forbade bim the premises, as she says, owing to his insolence. Mr. and Mrs. Poates then went to Washington and had a long inter- view with their attorney, Mr.Albert Sillors, who advised the young pair to push the case right This is an action against Mr. and Mra.

He asked her’ at least to come | and see them whenever she could and that they woul not talk about the trouble, but that he would have nothing to do with Poates. Mr. and Mrs. Poates, after moving into their new quarters, held quite little reception. Unshaken friends came in, and a genera! chat about the events of the last few days was had. Several little tokens—packages of bon bons, boxes of giace fruits, preserves and cake—were brought in. Poates will resume bis trade in a day or so at Mitchell's blacksmith shopin Wash- ington WHAT THE MOTHER SAYS. A Srar reporter found Mr. and Mrs. Ander- son at home aud inany but happy spirits.

The Deaths Last Week Slightly Above the ‘Normal Rate. “There were 10% deaths Inst week as com- pared with $7 the week previous,” says Health Oficer Hammett in his report for Insi week. “The normal rate is about 100. Deaths among children under five years of age continue large, many due to non-assimilation of food and also to teething. There is no unusual sickness throughout the city, and over the whole District a good degree of health pre- vails.” ‘The report shows: Number of deaths, 104; white, 51; colored, 53.

There were six females in the first procession of prisoners in the Police Court today and among them wasa small colored girl named Katie Cross. Her case troubled Judge Kim- ball more than any other, because of the con- duct of such a young girl and also because there was no place to send her except the work house or jail Policeman Jamison ap- peared against the girl and he gave his opin- ion that the girl was sneak thief. “She has not been home for a week,” said the officer, “but with other girls she has been sneaking in houses on Pennsylvania avenue and sleeping.” Judge Kimball said he did not want to send the girl to the prisons, adding that this caso showed the nocennity for a reformatory for rls. ‘The case was continued until tomorrow order to have her mother notified. SOME FEMALE VAGs. Annie Robinson, » colored woman, plead guilty to a charge of vagrancy and started back toward the cell, but Policeman Whalen called the judge's attention to the circumstances in the “case. ‘The woinan was found in a fish house near the wharf with three male friends. She was thereupon given the extent of the law—bonds or ninety days. Annio Foley, an old vag who knows the posi- tion of every brick in the walls of the work house, was next to appenr for trial, and she shed tears as though it was her first appear- ance and she was trying to gain the court's sympathy. Annie was not perfectly sober, though she had been locked up over night. Policeman Donovan told of her disgraceful conduct on the street, but Annie begged so hard that the judge gave her a light sentence— thirty days on the farm in default of bonds. Mary E. Fortune and Charity Hawkins plead guilty to charges of disorderly and were fined €or fifteen days each. Lizzie Fortune, a colored woman, pretended that she did ngt understand what vagrancy meant and Judge Kimball proceeded to give her the necessary in structions. Lizzie then entered a, protest to what Policeman McNeely said she fas guilty of on Gallagher's Hill. ‘Where is Gallagher's Hill “in ‘Foggy Bottom.’ ” HAD TO PAY FOR CARRYING A PISTOL Edward Stewart, a young colored man who said he was dressed in fine style to leave the city when he was arrested, was accused of carrying a loaded revolver. “I got information that Stewart had been carrying a pistol,” said Policeman McDonnell, ‘and last night I spoke to him about it. He started torun and {grabbed him. He bad a loaded pistol in his pocket.” His counsel argued that be should not be fined, because he was on his way to the depot intending to take the train for St. Paul. ‘He ouly hed 12 cents in his pocket,” inter- rupted the officer. And Judge Kimball snggested that it was after banking hours, because counsel had said that Ned had money in bank. Counsel made a lengthy plea in behalf of his client, aud Judge Kimball said he would give Stewart the benofit of the conditions stated by counsel and would impose a fine of only $30 or sixty days. WAS DRUNK, BUT NOT A VAG. “I'm guilty of being drunk, but Lain't no vag,” was Frank MeQuire’s plea to a charge of Vagraney. Found drunk in Seaton Park was the specific charge against him. Policeman O'Brien stated the case to the court and told of the man’s drunken condition when he found him sitting in the park. Frank promised to do better in the future and the judge released him on his own recognizance. “Deed, judge, I didn’t throw no stone said Dick’ Spriggs, a colored boy who was charged with throwing stones. Policeman Dyer saw him viglate the law in that manner and that’s why Judge Kimball said, “Zen dollars or thirty days.” Bill Wharton, a Geo town negro, fell asleep on ® doorstep near Frederick and R streets last night and Policeman Bradley had to ham- mer hit on the foot with his club to arouse him. Bill did not like the treatment he re- ceived and he becume #0 boisterous that a churge of disorderly conduct was preferred against him. ‘The prisoner denied the charge, but the proof was against him and a fine of ¢3 or twenty-four days was imposed. Jonah Adams, a North Washington colored man, was inugain and he plead guilty to charge of beiug disorderly. Five dollars. A GENUINE TRAMP sToRY.

Judge Kimball gave Dennis a home for thirty days. Mary Burch was brought in as a vagrant and the judge sent her down for sixty days.

While some of this en- thusiasm was possibly due to the personal pop- ularity of the star a larger portion was evoked by his spirited and foreeful acting. | There was last night evidence of more thought and care- ful study than in any character in which Mr. Downing hus been seen. He does not rely so much upon his splendid physical equipment for the part as upon an intelligent presentation of the finer and nobl ibutes of the man whom fate had made a Roman slave.

The officers have about concluded their in- vestigation of the daring assault and robbery committed in Judiciary Square last month, and Mr. James Hardy, the victim of the attack, will probably get both his watch and chain back, his chain having already been recovered. Detective Block and Policemen Jamison and Pearson continued their investigation of the case yesterday after the arrest of Tom Grigeby, alias “Greasy” Tom, in the wotk house, and late yesterday afternoon they had James West, another young colored man, be- hind the bars. Up to last evening “Greasy” Tom had being connected with crime, claiming that he got the gold chain from ‘a white man. Last night, however, he began to weaken and the arrest of West soon followed. The men were brought face to face and they accused each other of allgorts of crimes, West protesting his innocence ‘and Tom admitting is guilt and accusing West of complicity in the crime. West said that his companion, Tom, | had a bad record, and told him that he (Tom) ‘was a sandbaggor and had often told of tricks he had taken. Tom, on the other band, xc- cused West of having been with him. said they were standing in front of the American House the morning the affair happened talking to Frances Brown, when they saw Mr. Hardy come along. ‘Toin said that Mr. Hardy was in- toxicated and that he aud West followed him to Judiciary Square. In this connection Policeman Jamison says that the two negroes are about the size of men whom he saw following Mr. Hardy. Continuing, Tom said that when they got in the park he asked Mr. Hardy what time it was. West, he said, struck him and ho (Tom) got his watch and chain. West, he claimed, got the money, 60 cents.” Both men live in the same house in Bassett's alley, and the officers have learned tbat they left home that night together, and from other information that they were together until the time of the assault and robbery. The prisoners were taken before the Police Court this morning and committed until Fri- day, whon they will be given a hearing. —— eee THE COURTS. Equrrr Count—Judge Coz. Today—Morrice agt.

As tho time of the fall election approaches somewhat more interest begins to be manifested in political affairs, but the interest is still lan- guid everywhere except among the regular politicians. Alexandria city and county elect a delegate to the general assembly, whose ses- sions are biennial, and the democratic candi- dates so far uamed are Messrs. Wm. H. May of the city and James £. Clements, A. P. Doug- las and F. R. Windsor of the county. For the state senate from Alexandria, irfax and Prince William no other candidates have appeared than Capt. George Mushbach and Mr A. J. Wedderburn. As already mentioned the d county primarics will be held on the 10th instant, and at those pollings candidates and pot delegates will be voted tor, so that in- stead of the candidates being chosen by the convention the convention will be chosen by the candidates, as the majority nominee in cach district will, under the rule adopted, se- lect his delegates from that district. “As both the Fairfax and Prince Wilham dcmo- cratic committees have agreed to al- low Alexandria to name their candi- date for the state senate, the primaries on the 10th will, in fact, determine in advaace the question that the senatorial convention, which mects in Odtober, has been called upon to sct- tle, and which convention will simply confirm the action of the Alexandria primaries. The choice of a democratic candidate for the house of delegates will also be determined at the primaries on the 10th instant. All these move- ments are on the democratic side. ‘The repub- licans have as yot taken no action in relation to the canvass. WASHINGTON'S ALEXANDRIA MARGIN. The jurisdiction of the District authorities over the harbor of Alexandria was never real- ized until the “Joe Blackburn” police boat began her cruises in front of this city. It is now known that the District authority exiends over everything in the wate not attached to the land in front of this city. The taking up of @ sturgeon net and the arrest of Mr. Geo. W. Windsor in Alexandria harbor by the Wash- ington police occasioned some surprise here. Mr. Windsor came baci with his net yesterday from Washington, the case having been nolle prossed in the Police Court.as Mr. Windsor had cast his net in ignorance of the jurisdiction. UNITED STATES COURT. The United States court, Judge Hughes, has opened its session here. The case of Molloy against Linton & Pullman bas been dismissed, and in the case of the United States against S. P. Longborough, for violating the postal laws, & demurrer to the indictment has been filed. Ss NOTES. The issue of permits for attendance on the white public schools was continued today, and so far over 750 permits have been issued. There were eight marriage licenses issued here by the clerk of the corporation court and fave) Alexandre couple received licenses in Washington. The committee on light has awarded the con- tract for furnishing the light works gas coal at $3.79 per ton to W. A. Smoot & Co., and for Cumberland coal, run of the mine, at €8.07 per ton, to Mr. J. R. Zimmerman. —_—— “ANACOSTIA. DEATH OF MRS. CATHERINE SMITH. Mrs. Catherine Smith, an estimable colored woman, died at 9:80 o'clock Monday night at her home on Sumner avenue, Hillsdale.

BONES AFFECTED. CURED BY CUTICURA REMEDIES. ‘When six months old the left hand of our little grandchild began to swell and bad every appearance Of a large boil. We poulticed it, but all to no purpose. About five months aiter it be‘ame a running sore. Soon other sores formed. He then had two of them on each hand, and as his blood became more and more impure it took less time for them to break out. A sore came onthe chin, beneath the under lip, which was very offensive. His head was one solid scab, dis- charging a great deal. This was his cond.tion at twenty-two months old, when I undertook the care of him, bis mother having died when he was a little more than a year old, of consumption (scrofula, of course.) He could walk a little, but could not get up if he fell down, and could not move when in bec, having no use of his hands. I immediately com- menced with the CUTICURA REMEDIES, using all freely. One sore after another healed, a bony matter forming in each one of these five deep ones just before healing, which would finally grow loose and were taken out; then they would heal rapidly. One of these ugly bone formations I preserved. After taking a dozen anda half bottles he was completely cured, and is now, at the ageof six years, a strong and healthy child.
