Accordingly a paper was passed around among the veterans of the section and ina short time | there were enough names sub-cribed to war- | rant the movement's being pushed ahead.

Lucas, alias Gallagher,” called Deputy Clerk Lum Harper in the Police Court this morning when the firet procession of prisoners marched in seeking justice. “My name ain't Lucas,” answered the man who was called. “My namie is Gallagher.” Policeman Sordan, who. arrested him, ap- peared and explained to Judge Kimball that Gallagher was drunk last night and he followed a lady for square on Pennsyl avenue. “I Lad only been in town forty-eight hours,” said Gallagher, “when I got arrested.” : “Where's your home?” the court inquired. I live in Philadelphia,” he responded, “but Thave been working in Virginia. I had finished my work and was on my way back home.” “Do you drink liquor?” “Yes, sir, I drink once in awhile.” “After your experience last night I should think liquor drinking wonld frighten you.” “I think «o, top, your honor,” said the pris- oner, “but J didn't know what I was doing any more than a crow. Lam going to send you down for five days,” concluded the judge, “and when you get out you had better leave the city us fast as you ean.” The aext man in line was William Lewis, a resident of 6; street. He was drunk last night and he charged that his married sou was re- sponsible for his black eye. Policeman Henry told of the bad and threatening language used by Lewis toward his son, and Judge Kimball ‘gested that Lewis was drunk enough to be quirrelxome. He admitted that he was quarrel- some after his son, a» he said, had struck him in the eye with a paint brush. “But,” he added, “my son was buif shot as well as 1 was.” night dollars. Charlie Hicks, an East Washington colored man, who Lins beén under arrest several times on charges of disorderly couduct, was charged today with being a vagrant. Liquor was the cause of his arrest and he cord not deny that he was intoxicated, for the judge notified him in advance that he saw Lim about an hour be- fore he was arrested. Charlie was sent down for thirty days. Robert Bowman and Gertie Caldwell, a young colored couple from Georgetown, who met on Water street last night and failed to behave themselves, were in line on a charge of disor- derly conduct. Gertie admitted the truth of the charge and the lowest fine—r5 or fifteen daye—was imposed, but Bob disputed the charge and was fined 8. Charlie Savoy, a colored boy sixteen years old,-was accused of disturbing the quict of Essex court and bis brother Sam appeared as # witness against him. Charlie said that his father gets drank sometines and when under the intluence of liquor he is quarrelsome. Sam admitted the troth of Charlie's assertion, but he also charged that the latter was as quarrel- some ws the father. Charlie said that durin the trouble last night his hand was burned witl aflatiron. The judge released Charlie on his own recognizance. A young colored man named Charles Arm- strong was charged with disorderly conduct, and he asserted that he had been assaulted with a razor by another colored man, and he showed cuts across his coat. The jadge instructed the man to swear outa warrant for his assailant and released him on his personal bonds. ‘The Lords knows I wasn't drunk,” said Eliza Fields, a fat colored woman, who was charged with being drunk and disorderly. “Policeman Cook locked arms with me last night and we walked along Maryland avenue to the station house.” ‘The petition of the residents and property owners on 2d street southwest, calling attention to the condition of that street between Virginia avenue and Canal street and the failure of the Anacostia and Potomac Railroad Company to lay the pavement between its tracks in accord- ance with the terms of its charter, was submit- ted to the attorney for the District several days ago for his opinion as to the power of the Commissioners to require the restoration of the asphalt pavement between the rails and tracks in view of the fact that the asphalt pavement existed at the time the company commenced the work of laying its tracks. After citing the law relative to the laying of the tracks of ‘the company, as contained in its charter, Mr. Hazelton ’says: It will be observed that the original charter of the Anacostia and Potomac River railroad and the first amendment thereto were prior to the act of June 11, 1878, which con- tains paragraph 12 of section’ 5, which bas al- ready been construed and which provides that where the railroad companies have conformed to the grade establishod by the Commissioners they may use such cobble stone or Belgian Dlocks for paving their tracks or spaces be- tween their tracks as the Commissioners may direct.

Concluding he says: “Stiffen up your back bones and say no toa few of them and stick toit. Be one-half as persistent as they are and they will know just what you mean.” CHANGE OF SEWER. The Commissionerss have approved the change in the sewer at the corner of 15th street and Pennsylvania avenue as suggested by the Washington and Georgeto' iroad ~Com- pany, to accommodate the cable road.

King has beey appointed an in- spector in the engineer department on the con- struction of the substructure of the Benning tional law as to Belgian blocks or stone. My opinion is that this does riot in any way impair the effect of the constitutional law or the power of the Commissioners thereunder, and that it canonly be changed by a subse quent act of Congress. gi Zabscot oe aa LETTERS AND SIGNATURES. The Former Not a Compliance With the Law as to Liquor Licenses. An intresting question hus just been decided by the attorney for the District, which’ has a strong beering on the license question. Some days ago John Scblotterbeck of 711 0 street northwest applied to the Commissioners for aretail liquor license. The regulations affecting the sale of intoxicating liquors state that before a license can issne the applicant must have complied wita certain conditions. One of these conditions is that he must have @ majority of the residents on both sides of the strect where it is desired to locate tho saloon approve his application by signing their names thereto. In the present case, which is but one of many, the applicant was unable to obtain the names as required, although those who refused to sign willingly wrote letters setting forth that while they had_no objection to the grant- ing of the license they would not sign the ap- plication for conscientious scruples. The ques- tion that arose was did these letters amount to the same thing axa signature? The Commis- sioners were in doubt and wrote to their at- torney to submit an opinion on the question. ‘Thix was dono today, the attorney saying: “{do not think that such a letter is a com- plianco with the law or that it binds the writer to anything. ’ The Comm.ssioners will take final action on the case at the next meeting of the board. paeeicda THE DISTRICT EPWORTH LEAGUE.
