It was generally expected that Willard’ S. Norvell, the treasury clerk who appropriated $500 of government money to his own use Oc- tober 3, would be brought up be- fore the Criminal Court this morning for sentence, avd consequently a large crowd | assembled in the court room. Norveli, how- ever, was not the only attraction, as it was also understood that B Shepard White would appear, aud the combination proved a drawing card. But the curiosity seekers were disap- pointed, a» neither prisoner was brought up from the jail. When Norvell pleaded guilty to the charges of larceny und embezzlement from the United States Thursday afternoon it was suggested by Assistant District Attorney Clagett that he be bronght up. tod: nd Judge adiey acquiesced. No order was issued by ithe court, and accordingly the marshal was given no instruction this morning to produce the prisoner at the city hall, PECULIAR PHASES OF THE CASE. A good many surmises were made as to the reason for this change, but it is understcod that it is not the intention of the District at- torney, Capt. Cole, to hurry the case in the least. He kas become interested _ in it because of its rather mysterious phaser, the apparent lack of motive for the theft, the attitude of Norvell subsequent to his arrest, and the position of the mother and sister. Inasmuch as Norvell has acknowledged the erume and pleaded guilty there remains but his sentence by the court, and the only question pending is as to its severity. Jurge Bradley also has taken an interest in the case, and he is rater looking to the Dis- trict attorney for infornention that will guide lim in bis judgment. The point in issue is based mainly on Norvell's motive for taking the money. If, x8 he amerted yeatesd-y toa SraR reporter, he had no reason or dii not need the money there would seem to be implied a sortof kleptomanini«m, perbaps, that may or may not be cured. There are those who believe there is a reason hicideu beneath the apparent surface of things, and many hint at things that would go to make the ease eveu more dramatic than it is at pres- out.

If this crime is the one bad thing about his life, that will never be repeated, a long term in prison might eventually cause im to abandon all hopeand lead a wretched existence a! ward. Ye: if the theft were com- mitted with a lack of moral ap- recintion of bis offense there would seem to little we ting his sentence. ‘These aad other considerations are crowding in upon Capt.

The court said he did not think the prisoner's interests would suffer if he acted was finally induced to do it as a coucession to the earnest wishes of Senator Gorman and the party leaders. ‘There i#no man in Maryland more pepular than Mr. Gibson wherever he is known, or more beloved by bis friends and those who know him well.

If Jackson cannot be two elected himself when the legislature mects, his preference is for Gibson. Ail of his strength will goto him, and in the event of his own failure he will have the satisfaction of knowing that he has strengthened Gibson's position by appointing him. Gibson, on the other band, will do all’ that he honestly can to elect Jack- ron, and has sid that if he were in the legis- lature himself he would certaiuly vote for him, Gov. Jackson has certainly not strengthened his own position by his appointment of Mr. Gibson, as he would have done by the appoint- ment of Mr. Brattan, who could not by any possibility have been elected for the full term. It is certain that at this time Gibson and Jackson are the two central figures for the Senate and nobody is thinking or talking much about the other candidates except their own individual friends. The seeming strongest possibility next to Gibson and Jackwon is State tor John Walter Smith of Worcester ry and he and his friends still pro- fess to be sanguine of his election.

In the Crimimal Court this morning before Justice Bradley a plea of not guilty was entered by George Kent, charged with assault and bat- tery with intent to kill Joseph Williams. Frederick Hall, « colored man of stout build, plead guilty to bousebreaking—residence of Sallie M. Moore on the night of October 23. Mr. Clagett stated that the defendant was found by the lady under the bed near mid- night, and fortunately she retained her pres- ence of mind and called an officer, who arrested him. Hail. in answer to the court, said he got in through the back way by a window and he was there with the “intention of stealing,of course.” “The sentence is eight years in the Albany penitentiary,” said the court. Edmund Kenney, colored, convictedon Wed- nesday of violating section 3242, R. 8. U.S. (selling liquor without internal revenue license ), sentenced to the minimum fine of $1,000 and jail for six months. The court said that the worst feature of the case was that boys were furnished liquor in this place.

An the case of Hammond Piepenbring, con- vieted on Thursday of housebreaking, Mr. Campbell Carrington, his counsel, filed a mo- tion for a_new trial on the usual ‘grounds and because of newly discovered evidence. AEE OSS THE POWER OF PARDON. It is Limited in the Commissioners toa Small ‘Class of Cases. Assistant Attorney Thomas today rendered an opinion which will give very little comfort to the victims of the judges of the Police Court who are now languishing or toiling in peniten- tial durance at the work house for offenses | committed against other laws than those enacted by the legislative assembly. He 1 of opinion that the only power of dou possessed by the Commissioners is that which descended to them from the governor, who by law had onty power to pardon offenses committed against the laws of the legislative assembly. Ax very few of the present local penal laws, t those pertaining to licenses, were passed ¥ the legislative amembly, the scope of the ommuisaoners, ariaiction im this respect is very limited. All razor carriers, vagrants and disturbers of the peace leave hope of pardon behind when the doors of the work-house van close behind them. ——_ Worked Off « Worthless Check.

A Strong Protest Against Giving Licenses From Dr, C. B. Purvis. Dr. C. B. Furvis, secretary of the Howard University medical department and surgeon mn charge of the Freedmen’s Hospital, called upon the Commissioners this morning and handed in the following letter relative to the saloons in Hell’s Bottom: “I desire to join those who protest against a renewal of liquor licenses for this part of the city. Why is it known as Hell's Bottom? Could there be a worse name? Doesn't the name tell the true character of the neighbor- hood? Look at it and see how the streets north and south in comparison have been improved. There are.some nice families in this section, and they should be relieved from the curse that has surrounded them so long. I know much of this place; it has furnished many victims for the Freedmen's Hospital. | Cutting, shooting an@l even murdering has not been in- frequent. For years it has been aden for vice and disorder; it has been « disgrace to the city. Let the Commissioners change the chur- acter of Hell's Bottom and time may change the name. The entire District is interested in this matter.” — CHARGES PREFEREED BY MK. HELBIG. He Claims That His Recent Arrest Was the Kesult of a Policeman's Spite. Mr. F. W. Helbig has written to the Commis- sioners preferring charges aguinst Police Officer Mellen of the eighth precinct, the name of the officer's partner, Policeman Garvey, also ap- pearing in the communication. ‘The complaint charges the officer with con- duct unbecoming an officer aud drinking beer and whisky while on duty. Mr. Helbig further charges that between the 12th day of August and the 2d day of November Policeman Mellen made threats to divers citi#ens; that during the trial of said‘ Melien before the trial board he made a threat that he would get even with the yitnesses against him, and that he would make them sick for testifying against him, and that he would “pull in” or arrest the com- plaiuant as the first one. As the result of the threats mentioned, Mr. Helbig charges that he was arrested by the otticers and charged with being a junk dealer, which charge was dismissed. Although a respectable citizen, he alleges that collateral was refused, and he was locked up for thirty minutes, bis inearceration seeming to have amused the officers. He further charges that the conduct of the officers in standing about his place has decreased his business, and if continued his business will be entirely broken yy Pan this he alleges is because he was a wit- ness against the officer in « case before the trial board. ‘The complaint has been referred to Maj. Moore ‘and the charges will probably be in- vestigated by the trial board. a ee The New York Avenue Rink sed. Alease has’ just been made by Mr. Julius Lansburgh, the furniture dealer, of the large building known as the rink, located on New York avenue between 13th and 14th streets. It is his intention to make such changes and alterations in the present structure as may | be deemed necessary, and then some time in the early part of next spring he will remove | the stock of furniture trom the store on F {street and open buriness ut the new stand. | The great size of the ilding was one of the motives which led Mr. Lansburgh to make this change. but he also appreciates the fact that the business arca of the city is ex- pauding. An abundance of room is what bis business requires, and the new quarters will | fill the bill for the present at least. —— An Accident to Mr. T. Edward Clark. Mr. T.

Mrs. Harrison has not seen her parents since she returned from Europe and says she could not think of settling down here for the winter until she has been out home first. She will be back for the opening of the gay seuson, however. Marthena. who Was 80 delicate all last winter, is now the em- bodiment of baby beauty and health. Mrs. McKee says the social program for the winter will not be arranged until after Con- gress meets. The season of ‘92 is so long that there will be ample opportunity to take only one night a week for the state levees and din- ners, and there will be therefore a chance to have other social events at the White House. Mrs. McKee did not say so, but there is a happy suspicion that she intends to give an evening party some time during the limits of the com- ing season which will surpass anything ever seen at the White House. If the rumor be true her friends have something delightful in prospect.

The Vice-President and Mrs. Morton will enjoy the same treat, as all their family is also about them. - The cabinet ministers and their families will as usual eat their Thanksgiving dinners in their Washington homes. Few ot them, how- ‘ill want to see when ever, will sit down without one or two friends at the board. The charity fetes of the past week which at- tracted so liberally the attendance of society in all its many ramifications show pretty clearly how people are fairly aching to get together in a.sociable way, The three-day entertainment given for the old confederate soldiers brought out a warm response from all sides. ‘The ladies who had the affair in charge worked like bea- vers and made a nest egg, after supplying pres- ent necessities, for the erection here in the future of a confederate soldiers’ home. Yesterday and today Willard Hall was just as gay and quite as busy with those attending the “Winter Rainbow,” in which Mrs. Ramsey, president of the Tabernacle Socicty and the other Indies already mentioned are trying to raise money for poor mission chapels.
