The police are somewhat troubled about the matter of affording the proper protection to the visitors during the encampment because of the | Testrictions thrown around the $9,000 appro- Priation by Congress, which it is thought will | Operate as an inducement to thieves from the | west to come here and ply their vocation. The | act appropriating the money reads: | “To meet the expenses for maintaining pub- | Me order in the District of Columbia on the | oceasion of the national encampment of the | Grand Army of the Republic, to take place in | said District in September, 1892, $9,000, pro- | vided that policemen borne on the rolls of the police force of the cltiesot New York, Philadel- phiaand Baltimore may be employed, and | Rone other outside of the District of Colum- |, Under the provisions of this act policemen from New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore | only can be employed and they must be mem- | bere of the regular spolice department of those cities. While Maj. Moory anticipates no trouble in securing men frotn those cities, he readily understands the necessity of securing the ser- | vices of men from such other places as Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis and Pittsburg, but of course these men eannot be paid trom the ap- m.

On these oc- | casions the thieves did not reap a harvest as they did during the Garfield inaugural, when | the local men were assisted by other city offi- core. Under the terms of the bift the police will be able to secure the services of Capt. Linden, an ex-Pinkerton man- who is at present chief of the Phiisdelphia police force. Cupt. Linden is regarded as one of the best men in his line of business and the police hope he will repeat his good work done here on former occasions. In expending the appropriation Maj. "Moore intends to appoint 300 special policemen, who | will receive a compensation of $2.50 per day. | These men will be selected as they were during the last inauguration, and they will be ap- pottioned to the different precincts for patrol duty, With this number of special officers to guard property on the outskirts of the city taany of the regularly uniformed men can be utilized down town, where the crowds will be ; the thickest. Applications ave already being | received for tne places of special policemen and | Maj. Moore ho) to be able to secure 300 good men for the service. ——>—_ THE STABBING AFFRAY. Goodwin Held Without Bail—Other Cases of Assault. Judge Mills listened toa number of cases today involving charges of violence from threatening words to the use of a knife. The most serious case was that of Henry Goodwin, the colored’ man who so dangerously stabbed Laurence Leach in State alley Saturday, as published in Saturday's Star, Mr. Clagett called the case to the attention of the court and nid that the injured man was unable to appear. Saturday, he eaid, the in- jured man was ina precarious condition, but late in the day he rallied und the doctors think he will recover. As he was not yet out of danger the court continued the case without bond. The prisoner was committed to jail. Policeman Keliher had a colored girl named Ollie Brown before the court for striking Lena Myers on thehead. The court considered all the cireumstances in the cate and imposed a fine of $5 or 15 days. A member of the fire department named Charles F. Harper was arraigned on a charge of assaalting his wife and he said not guilty. His wife said that her husband had said ‘some- thing against her character and she wanted to make him prove it. She charged that he had a knife and threatened to nse it on her. husband denied the charge and said his wife was angry because he spoke tober about staying ont late one night. “And I want you to put him under bonds if you don’t fine him,” interrupted the wife. ““[ generally elect my own way of disposing of eases,” said the judge. “This case is dis- mised. ‘Thero was an information for assault against Mr. Alexander ©. Witherton. The aggrieved party was a boy named Columbus Howe. It | appeared that the boy annoyed Mr. Witherton by throwing stones at him and the latter re- taliated by slapping the boy over.

Wills was charged with cuttin Win, Harding’sarm and the case waa postponed on $100 collateral. In the case of J. H. Jones for assaulting Geo. Brown the usual 85 fine was imposed. Edward Brooks, a laborer, bad to answer three charges. One was disorderly conduct, another was assaulting Policeman Lee, who ar- rested him,and the third was threats toward Laura Simmons.
