The rong was doomed to disappointment, how- ever, for Judge Wilson, after calling the atten- tion court to the case, stated that it would be im ible = Pane al the motions today and —— that the case tponed to a day to re after agreed ‘pen by him rf the dis- trict attorney. iis. honor assenting, such order was made and the court room wi promptly deserted by the throng which had gathered to hear the case. the district attor- Rey expects to leave the city during the com- ing week, to be goue several days, and it is doubtful if the motions will be argued before some time during the first week of next month. HOW SCHNEIDER LOOKED, Schneider was seen by a Stan reporter in the eage below the court room, and found to be but a wreck of the Howard Schneider he wi during the trial, His conviction, judging alo: from his appearance this moruing, 4 terrible effect upon him. His eyes w his face was shrunken deathly pallor, and his hands and the muscl of his face continuously twitched with extreme nervousness. There was no need for him to tell Tre Stan reporter that he felt badly. ‘That was too evident. His manner was that of a man utterly without hope, and the terrible strain which he is undergoing is undoubtedly undermining his health if not his mind. Schneider was taken back to jail in the prison van iu company with six or eight other prison- ers, and a large crowd gathered about the cuge and the court house door to see him. He was not handcuffed, as were the others, and as he walked to the van he pulled his bat down over his yes and hfs overcoat collar up about his face as if toecreen his face from the view of the curious crowd, a> SES A HISTORIC BOAT. ‘The Coming of a Steamer That Was Built by Women’s Jewels. ‘Tho United States coast survey steamer En- deavor, Licut. Lovell K. Reynolds command- ing, will sail from Baltimore for Washington today. She has been rebuilt from deck up at the ship yard of W. E, Woodall & Co. All the deck house joiner work has been renewed, » new main deck has been laid, two new masts have been stepped, new rudder and rudder posts put in. The vessel has been docked and her hull overhauled and painted. ‘The pilot house has been enlarged and every part of the steamer repainted, Capt. Reynolds’ staff comprises but one deck officer, Lieut, ‘Thomas W. Ryan, with whom the captain will divide the watches to Washington, where other officers will be ordered to duty. Mr. A. J. Miskimmon is chief engineor and the recorder is Mr. J. C. MeTiffany. ‘The Endeavor was an offering of ladies of Norfolk to the confederate government. ‘The Indies gave their jewels to build the vessel. A shipbuilder named Graves began the work in the town of Berkeley. |The ladieg decided that the vessel should be named Lady Davis in com- liment to the wife of the president of the con- lederacy. When the federul army took posses- sion of Norfolk on the 10th of May, 1862, the Lady Davis was on the stocks. She was com- pieted, launched, named Gen. Jessup and used as an army transport. —_-_—_. THEY THOUGHT OF THE SONG. Police Court Prisoners Realize the “Differ- ence in the Morning.” One dozen persons arraignod before Judge Kimball this morning were well aware of “whata difference in the morning” and none of them were able to get even a soda cocktail. There were seventeen prisoners in all and there were only five of them whose appearance was not the result of rum. James Thornton was one of the victims and he was very penitent when he faced the judge. His statement was that he was an old soldier anda pensioner and he was employed as a watchman in the Interior Department. “Yesterday,” he said, “I went over to the fort and full. If you will trust me until next week I'll settle the bill.” alone ¥., for 100 members; C. M.

Eight years ago Thornton Nelson, otherwise known as William Nelson, and Jane Nelson, bis wife, came here from Shepherdstown, W. Va, and were welcomed to membership in Mount Zion Caurch. Until a year ago they attended ser- vices in the church,and were visited by members of the flock. Then the husband ceased being aregular attendant and later it was learned that he had taken unto himself another wife in the person of Harriet Lee, a resident of this city. Pastor Luckett of Miles Chapel per- formed the ceremony. ‘Thornton's action was questioned by the church: people and his plea was that the first egul because he was not sed minister, regularly lice m No. 1 recently determined to have him arrested. This was done yesterday, and Thornton was compelied to ‘face both women in the Police Court this morning. Har- riet said she had beard that Thornton was married and that his wife was living, but she did not know whether he was married or whether they were just living together. A member of the church told of Thornton’s claim as to the illegality of his first marriage, and Judge Kimball said he would give him a chance to prove it. The prisoner was held for the grand jury and was committed to jail in default of 500 security. ps + THE Counts. Count tx Gexrnat.

To the Fditor ot The Evening Star- ‘Traveling through your of late I found ‘a family in distress. They came from near Pittsburg, Pa., and were en route to Virginia, seeking a milder climate for the husband and father, who was in delicate health, They were poor, very poor. ‘The man was taken suddenly very ill, suffering great pain, and as I entered the station I met a picture of agony. Panting for breath and unable scarcely to move, yet amid bis groans he was striving to comfort h: despairing, weeping wife and three little ones, The throng “passed by on the other side,” but I felt that some “good Samari- tan” should extend relief, hen I sought to do this others became interested, until the hitherto neglected and lonely’ ones were so surrounded that tho struggling mau was nearly suffocated. On learning the circumstances, with much difficulty, I suc- ceeded in getting the sick man taken to ho: pital, but no place seemed available for the mother and children in their affliction and poverty, They bad been traveling all night, and were tired and worn out as well as ill. Atlast Mr. L. 8. Emery of the Associated Charities, whose office is at 707 G street north- west, after hearing my story quickly responded that he would see that they were taken care of, He tovk them to his ofice and then provided for them until the patieut had so far recov- ered from what proved to be pneumonia that they resumed their jonrney, a united, grateful family.

At the Brices’ musicale there was 60 much elegant dressing that at first glance it looked like a spring parade of new clothes, Everybody wore their very best, and that series er gets worn out in one winter, Somethin, else Was manifest also at that party, which is only selected because it brought together a larger company than any of the others, that the number of beautiful women in society here is constantly increasing. In fact it would be easier to select the homely ones than those to whom good looks has come by inheritance. Impromptu entertainments would seem to be the style for the coming week, as there are precious few invitation abroad, save for din- ners and luncheons, It is only the usual calm after the storm, which may be understood in more senses ‘than one—after this weel experiences. 80 many elegant enter. tainments were given for the youn, folks all the week that their elders coul well afford to stand aside for ouce.

The finger is so tiny that the jeweler who made the ring said it was the smallest in circuit ne had ever made.
