How She Got Rid of = Man in Her Room. Miss Bessie Mills, a young lady who resides at No. 1905 17th street, appeared as the prose- cuting witness in a housebreaking ense tried in the Police Court today and Judge Miller com- plimented her for the wonderful nerve she ex- hibited at the time the offense was committed. The affair happened Friday night and the next day Policemen Foley and Dorsey of the eighth precinct arrested » young man whose name was given as Richard Maney. He lives only two or three squares from where Miss Mills re- sides. Lawyer Foster was the prisoner's legal adviser, while Mr. Mullowney represented the Prosecution. ‘The young lady's appearance on the witness stand evidenced the coolness and presence of mind which she exhibited Friday night when she awoke and discovered a stranger in her room. There was nota man in the Louse that night. The young lady lad been left in the house with an invalid aunt and a colored girl. According toher statement she was awakened by feeling something heavy on the foot of her bed. The gas was lighted and she saw the back of aman. Her brother had gone away to remain over night, but she thought he re- turned and, in expressing surprise at his pres- ence, she exclaimed, “Hello!” The man also said‘‘Hello"and then she discovered that he was not her brother. “Ob,” she exclaimed, “I thought you were my brother.” She did not get excited and faint, but she asked the intruder, ina polite manner, if be would uot ieave and he replied in the affirma- tive. “Shake hands and I'll go,” he said and the lady reached out her bend. He shook ber hands as though they were really good friends and then the man started out, but when he reached the foot of the bed he hesitated, and at his request she again shook hands with him and he leit the house quietly after she had as- red him that she would not make an outery. It was discovered that the man had entered the house by climbing through the dining room window. A search was made, but noth- ing was missed. Saturday morning the facts were reported to the police and that night the prisoner was ar- rested and locked up at the eighth precinct station. Miss Mills identified him as the man when Jacige Miller questioned her. Sbesaid she sup- dhe was in her room at least ten minutes, ad the judge told her that it was certainly diplomacy to have a scoundrel in her room that hour of the night and get rid of him so easy. “Most ladies would have fainted,” remarked Lawyer Foster. Judge Miller held the prisoner for the grand Jury and fixed bail at £3,000. Counsel said he would like to be heard on the question of bail, but the judge said he would not recitice it, as he intended to have something oe . POLICE REGULATION CHANGES. Car Drivers Must Stop Before Crossing Steam Kaliroad Tracks, The following changes -in the police regula- tions have been made by the Commissioners in accordance with an opinion from the assist- ant attorney for the District, Mr.8. T. Thomas: “Drivers of street cars in the District of Columbia before crossing the tracks of a steam railroad shall bring their cars to a full stop and not start them again untilso directed by the conductor, who shall be satisfied by Personal observation that the tracks may be crossed by the car with safe “No person shall drive or conduct sheep, swine, beeves or other cattle in a loose herd through any improved city street or on any suburban paved or board sidewalk, except as hereinafter dosignated, nor shall’ any such driving or conducting be done except between the hours of 10 o'clock p. m. and 6 o'clock a, m.

St. Andrew's Church was filled with the friends and acquaintances of the late Dr. Edw. Roome yesterday afternoon. The casket con- taining the remains was almost hidden beneath the floral tributes. Rev. J. B. Perry,the rector of the church, officiated and the male choir rendered some musical sclections. ‘Delegations were present from Osiris Lodge, No. 26, and Scottish Rite iodges of the Masonic order.’ The honorary pallbearers were Dr. J. C. Welling, Dr. A. Huntington, Dr. A. P. Montague, Dr. J. H. Gore, Hon. J. 0. Wilson, Hon. W. L. Wilson of West Virginia, Dr. J. C. Castis and the active pallbearers, Prof. H. L. Hodgkins, Prof. L. D. Lodge, Prot. M. F. F. Swartzell, Mr. Landon Burchell, B. B. Willis and Mr. Trimble of the Musonic order. The interment was at Rock Creek. ‘The death of Dr.Roome closes a career which was full of promise. He was born in the city of New York on the 28th of September, 1863, and came to this city in 1874. He graduated from the High School and won the highest rize and the scholarship at the Columbian Universi When his class graduated he deliv- ered the valedictory address, speaking ex- temporaneously in the Greek tongue.

Power, pastor cf the Vermont Avenue Church, writes to the Commissioners today stating that at the morning services held at the church yesterday the congregation, numbering about s thousand people, unani- mously decided by a rising vote to petition the Commissioners to refuse all applications for licenses to sell intoxicating liquor in that sec- tion known as Hell's Bottom. The church, he States, is within six squares of that neighbor- ood qnd many of the congregation are called to pase through or near it in attending the services, aud for years it has been a source of dread and peril to all good citizens, especially women and children. Concluding he say: “May we not ask the honorable Commissioners people in this part of our good eity and withhold from the men who seek it the legal jission to carry on the work which bas been such a curse to many and such sw cause of terror to all, disgracing the capital with so unsavory and yet so fitly named a sec- tion as Hell's Bottom: a Natsances Keported and Abated Last week, according to the reports of the sanitary inspectors of the health office, there Were 201 nuisances reported to that oitice and M16 wore abated. ——— Food Condemned. “The reports of Food Inspectors Mothershead and Chase for last week show he condemnation riva! of 3,269 bunches of fish, 383 carp and 14,700 bushels of oysters.

Seventy-four companies receive 80 per cent of the gross income of all the railways in the country. . ‘The total number of locomotives is 29,928. of which §,384 are passenger and 16,140 freight. ‘This shows ten freight and five passenger loco- motives for each 100 miles of operated line. The total number of cars used is 1,164,138. of which 26,511 are in the passenger service. The total number of men employed on all the rail- ways is 749,301, an increase Of 45,558 over the previous year. The capital employed ia $9,459,444,172, or 260,431 per mile of line. The capitalization is largely in excess of the marke: value of the roperty. The xmount paid in interest was Bio417,807. ‘The final’ net eanings wero 3106,967,994. If the sum of these accourts be capitalized at 5 per cent it shows that the value of railway property considered as an invest- ment, estimated on the operations of railw: for the year ended June 30, 1890. was £6,667, nis 4ae, which is equivalent to $42,631 per mile ine. ‘The number of passengers carried were 492,- 430,865. ‘The average journey of each passen- ger was twenty-four miles.

The aver- age revenue per passenger per milo was 2.167 cents and the average cost 1.917 cents. ‘The revenue for carrying a ton of freight one mile was -941 cents; cost 604 centa. The revenue from & passenger train run one mile was $1,08.041; cost 80.984 cents. The revenue from a freight train running one mile was $1.65.434; cost 91.05.71. These figures show the margin from which rail must secure their profit. number of persons reported by as killed during the year was 6,320, and the total number reported us injured was 29,034. Of the total number killed, 2,451 were employes, 285 passengers and ‘3,584 were classed as “other persons.” In this latter figure are included the large number of sai- cides. Of the total number injured, 22,390 were employes, 2,444 passengers, besides 4,200 unclassed.

The annual report of D. P. Leibhardt, the superintendent of the dead letter office, dis- closes some interesting facts. There were some 28,000 letters received that had no superscrip- tion whatever. Among these were frequently foun the letters of business men, of which a large proportion contained inclosures of money, drafts, checks and other valuable commercial papers, It is found that the proportion of people careless in this respect has increased some 19 per cent during the past year: The report states that “in former years there were annu- ally received in the dead letter oftice something like 12,000 letters containing lottery tickete—a monthly average of nearly 1,000. ‘The number now received since the provisions of the new lottery law went into practical operation has fallen'to an average of less than 40 per month, the entire receipts for the first quarter of the current fiscal year amounting to only 99. 8 the different classes of mail matter re- ceived in the dead letter office may be taken as a very fair index of the general character of all matter sent through the mails, this marked reduction is significant as indicating the salu- tary effect of the law referred to.” The plan now in vogue in many of the post offices of having a directory which is kept up by the letter carriers is commended. In the case of one post office a directory in this way ‘was secured of 18,000, whereas the latest pub- lished diretory of that place contained the names of only 4,000 persons. gee A Great Game Tomorrow.
