IMPRISONMENT FOR LIFE, The President Commutes the Death Sentence of Sam Moore. Samuel Moore, the young colored man who killed Jandorf, his fellow-prisoner in the Dis- trict jail, in the autumn, will not be hanged next Friday, as he was sentenced by the court, nor will Le be hanged at ail. The President yes- terday afternoon acted upon the application for pardon in his case by granting a commuta- tion of the sentence to imprisonment for life at hard labor. The application was made some weeks ago. THE PRESIDENT’: The President's indorsement upon the papers is as follows: “It does not seem to me, upon the statement of the facts submitted by the pardon clerk, that either the element of malice aforethought or of an intent to kill is wanting in this crime. But as the district attorney and the judge who presided at the trial and who must have a fuller knowledge of the facts than Ican gather, regarding the case as one that would not be punishable capitaily where grades of murder existed, and in view of the youth and ignorance of the prisoner, Icommute this sentence to imprisonment for life athard labor in the penitentiary, as recomnaended by the at- torney general. ‘MOORE'S BEMAvIOR. During the trial of the murderer he man- ifested no outward evidence of remorse and gave vent to expressions indicating his anxiety to be executed immediately, and his manner in prison was that of a person who only awaited another.opportunity to repeat bis deadly work. For a time after his trial the officer had some litle trouble with him and he had to be dis- ciplined. The religious exercises in prison attractions for him, and it was a long time before he would even discuss religious matters with Mr. John Roberts of the colored Young Men’s Christian Association. Gradually the prisoner became submissive and not long ago the Rev. Father Sullivan of St. Peter's Church visited him. Recently the priest's visits have been more frequent. Some days ago Moore sent for a Sran_re- porter, to whom he said he wanted to makea statement, but he changed his mind after writing thenote and, wking the advice of his ‘ounsel, he said he would keep gilent until the y before the time set for his execution. Then he said he would make a statement and give some facts that would enlighten the public. Sam spends most of his time in his cell and r ceives but few visitors. His mother calls to see him once or twice a week and remains with him some time, but other friends . Some time ago he composed a song about the killing of his victim and sold printed copies of it to visitors for 5 cents a cop: ee A PRISONER'S COMPLAINT. ISDORSEMENT. Says His Arm Was Broken by a Policeman's ‘Club. There is a prisoner serving sixty days in jail who says he has a complaint to make against Policomen Dyer and Auguste of the fifth pre cinct. The prisoner is Frank Nicholson, son of a police officer, who does duty in the pre- cinct with the officers named. Frank's record is not the best, as he has been arrested many times for drunkenness and assaults. His left arm is broken between the wrist and elbow, and he charges that the injury was inflicted by one of the policemen with his club, besides receiving a severe cut across;the head. These injuries, Nicholson told a Stax reporter, were inflicted in the police station. He said he wae arrested because he was intoxicated and lying across the sidewalk near 8th and Virginia ave- nue southeast. The next morning in the Po- lice Court, he said, be plead guilty because he was so drunk that he did not remember what had occurred, and the judge gave him sixty days. ae ae THE DEATH RECORD, An Increase in the Number From Grip Over Yesterday's List. The deaths reported to the health office dur- ing the twenty-four hours ending at noon to- day shows a slight deeréase as compared with yesterday's list, while there is an increase in the deaths from the grip. Three deaths were reported from that cause, while there were five from pneumonia and one each from congestion of the lungs and bronchitis.

ROBE of Bose & Eddy, Hardware Dealers, Rochester, N. ¥. “Say, mister, you ought to put runners on them wheels,” cried a small boy as a depart- ment clerk rode up Pennsylvania avenue on his bicycle the day after the’ snow storm. Although the ground has been covered with snow nearly all the week many bicyclists have remained on their silent steeds and ploughed through the snow banks and slush and over the slippery pavements, and nota single accident has been reported. Tho pleasure riders have put up their wheels until the snow has disappeared, and there will not be much club riding until spring. Now that the riders cannot get about on their wheels 40 much they are en; in planning trips for the coming season.” ‘The ‘Shenandoah valley frips aro the favorite for the riders in this lo- ity on ecéount of the good roads and many places of interest to be seen along the route. A trip that is being looked forward to by many riders is the excursion trip to Denver with the Knights Tempiar in August. ‘The railroad fare will be cheap and many wheelmen will take ad- ¥antage of the opportunity to ride over one of the finest ventas the country. That is the road from Denver to Pikes Peak, a distance of between cighty and ninety miles. In that country there is good gunning, and wheelmen especially enjoy the sport, as they go out early in the morning, taking’their guns on their backs, and returning in the afternoon with e good lot of game. ‘THE NEXT WHEEL MEET. ‘The question of the leagne mect next sum- mer is being discussed and it is the general opinion of the members that the meet will be held here. ‘This city is undoubtedly the favor- ite place of a large majority of the league mem- bers. Capt Peck of the Massachusetts division favors this city, and in event of its selection he promises to get up a tour of the Massachu- setts men through the historic battlegrounds, ‘It could train from Washington to Gettys- burg and there again mount the wheel,” says Capt. Peck. “A trip through this territory would be of great interest to all, and, as roughly mapped out, would take about nine or ten days. ‘We could ride to Emmitteburg, Blue Ridge mountains, through Buena Vista and Monterey to Waynesboro, Hagerstown, Williamsport, cross the Potomac to Falling Waters, Martinsburg, Bunker Hill, Winchester, Middleton, Strasburg, Cedar Creck, Tom's Brook, Woodstock, Mount Jackson, Newmarket and Harrisonburg. Here a train would, for comfort’s sake, be taken to Lexington and Luray caverns, the wheels in the meantime having been forwarded to Hagerstown. From Hagerstown the route would lie through Ci lisle, Pa., Harrisburg, Lebanon, Keadi og Allentown to Philadelphia. Such a’ trip would be of inestimable value to those interestea in American ways and customs.” THE NEW CLUB HOUSE. Work on the Columbia Cycle Club house at Mount Pleasant will be commenced in afew days. The membership of this club has largely increased during the past season and a dozen applications are now awaiting action. Several members of the Nomad Club have resigned. ‘The New Year eve meeting of the Arlington wheelmen was a success and several new mem- bers were added to the list. After the meeting supper was enjoyed at Losekam's, jean es A LIGHT DOCKET. Only Ten Prisoners in the Police Court Cells ‘This Morning. Thero were only ten prisoners in the cells of the Py Court today, the smallest number for many months, and the consequence was that there was a light docket in each court. Frank Parker, a © Georgetown colored boy, was the only onc of the number against whom there were two charges, requiring his presence in each court. Policeman Cotter had him in Judge Kimball's court for celebrating Christmas with atin horn, and before Judge Miller he was charged with assaulting Elsie Tibbs. ‘The officer warned Frank about blowing the oyster horn, but the latter thought he had as much right to celebrate in that way as did hundreds of others and refused to obey the order of the copper, and the fine imposed upon him for it was €5 or 15 days. In the assauli case a fine of €10 was imposed. A young mamwho answered to the name of Charles R. Cook, alias Kelly, was arraigned for vagrancy and he denied that he was a tramp. ave a home in Cleveland, Ohio,” he said, ‘and am on my way there now.” Policeman Jordan arrested him on Pennsyl- vania avenue last night on complaint that he had been begging, but, instead of begging for adrink, the prisoner said that he was invited by aman who said he wasa reporter to take @ drink with him and he accepted the invitation “How long will it take you to get ont of the city if Llet you go?” asked Judge Kimball. Jon’t know, sir,” he responded. Will you leave today? Yes, sir: I'll leave if I have to walk. He was released on his personal bonds. Rufus Robinson's plea was not guilty. The charge against him was that he was disorderly near the corner of 7th and K streets, and upon. hearing the testimony the judge held him guilty and imposed a fine of £3 or twenty-four days on the farm, A colored boy from Georgetown named How- ard Boyd, whose reputation was stated as that of a “crap shooter,” was complained against by Policeman Bradly for vagrancy and a sentence of twenty days was imposed. There were two charges against Daniel Cur- lay, growing out of too much strong drink, and fines amounting to $18 or fifty-four days were imposed. poe oe Original. No. 74. Corn Warts. ; Mi By Dire. F.
