Frederick Walters Put Under Bonds to Keep the Peace Toward His Wife. “Some time there will be another Howard Schneider case in town, the remark at- tributed to Frederick Walters by his wife, Jen- nie Walters, when the former was tried in the Police Court today for assault and threats. Mrs. Walters is the daughter of Mr. Robert Trouland, who lives on Massachusetts avenne between 4th and 5th streets, and Mr. Walters is in the carringe-manufacturing business on 14th street. ‘The wife and her father were witnesses for the prosecution and Robert Trouland, jr., was on the husband's side.

He had never heard Mr. Walters make any threats, but he had heard bis sister use threatening language toward her husband. In his own defense the defendant testified | that be had not assaulted his wie with such an intent. He only took hold of ber to prevent | her going to the house of a woman in the neigh- | borhood. He said that sometimes he used sort of threatening language because his wife an- od bim and made him crazy. ‘How often do you get crazy?” inquired Mr. Clagett. «Every time ehe annoys me in that way.” Continuing, witness said that his wife had threatened bim, and one on occasion spe at- tempted to poison him. iow do you know that?” Wrxanp Harr.—The Buekler-Warren Dra- matie Company in “The Merchant of Venice.

Morrow, a well-known turf- | man hailing from Chicago, where his wife | resides, for being instrumental in causing her death.

Inspector MoCathran at once informed the South Carolina authorities that he would | likely turn up at a county fair in Maryland and the sheriffs were notified to look out for him, | Sheriff Pairall of Montgomery county receiv- |ing his letter in July Inst. appeared in Rockville and he was arrested. He stated that he had been absent from Warhing- | ton for some time and had been keeping out of the way of the officers with the intention of going to South Carolina when the court met in October and giving himself up: that he was not afraid of an in tion and had been selected to bear the blame which should attach to an- other, and he would go without waiting for any papers. eee ee ALONG THE WHARVES.

In the parlors of the Hotel Fredonia last evening the fifth weekly meeting of the Wash- ington Library Association was held, Prof. W. B. Powell presiding. Among those present were: Miss Charlotte Van Doren, Dr. and Mra. La Fetra, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Curtis, Mr. W. H. Evans, Mr. J. Walter Mitchell, Dr. W. B. Lane, Mr. W. B. Matchett, Mr. W. E.

The following branch stations were added to those already established: Whitney Lane,on the 7th street road; Benning, Good Hope Hill, near Anacostia; Twining City, to be mcorporated with the station at Anacostia; Brookland, Ta koma Park, Mount Pieasant, Tenleytown and Le Droit Park. It having been stated that Le Droit Park already had a local reading room or literary society, and it being suggested that there ight ‘be other sections of the city that such societies already organized, the secretary was directed to request the tors of the different churches in the city to furnish the society with the names of any such with a view of securing their co-operation in the work. Mr. W. B. Matchett stated that Dr. Newman of the Metropolitan Church had offered to the society the use of a resding room in the base- ment of the church, and it was also stated that there might be secured similar quarters in Wesley Chapel, where it was the wish of the pastor, Rev. Dr. L. B. Wilson, that the associ- ciation should hold its next meeting. ‘The in- vitation was accepted and the association will meet there next Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. Tue Stan and Post were thanked for the hearty support they bad given to the work of the association and the editors were elected honorary members. Notice was made that any information re- specting the work of the association could be had of Mr. W. B.

Tothe Editor of The Evening Star I observed in Tar Star a few days back that the general passenger agents of the railroads of the country had convened and consulted in re- spect to the rate to be charged passengers to the world’s Columbian exposition and that they had substantially 2 upon one fare and one- third for the réund-trip ticket. Why they have decided to depart from the time-honored rate of one fare for the round trip to all great gath- eripgs, conventions, &c., 1 am unable to state. Certainly the fair promises probably fifty times the passengers—ay, probably more than that—in comparison with any great assembling of the people that ever has been since the foun- dation of the government. Isn't it fair to con- clude that the profits of the railroads on each train will be quite as great at one fare for round trip to Chicago ‘as it has been at all ex- cursions in the past? ‘Then why change it when the excursion trains will be daily for months? Perhaps the roads may need an additional equipment. Do they mean to make the people ior Gils in Ex exten. taco whea voece to fave tae grandest. fair the world has ever had and one to which the entire people, as near ns possible, should be both enticed and enabled to Ko by the facilities offered and the cheapness of the fare? But there is another view of the matter, which presents @ still strouger case against the proposed increase of the round-trip ticket. ‘There are many thousands of laboring men and farmers whose limited means and peculiar cir- cumstances will not permit them to go to the fair and pay an extra fare. All of these people of both classes, so far as other conditions are concerned will aliow, ought to go to the fair. It will prove to be to them the best schooling they have had Cage pom majority. This ex- tra one-third fare will keep at home, I presume, hundreds of thousands of these people. Some bodies at Chicago or here, as for instance the board of management of the government ex- hibit, perhaps of both, and perhaps there are other organized bodies in connection with the worid’s fair that also may find it in the line | of their duty to make an effort, and a persistent | one, to have this proposed fare rate cut down. ‘This should not be neglected.

W. Anderson, and was in a | coop at the O street market the other night, but | the failure of the fowl to roost high resulted in its removal. Tho chicken was not in Peter Page's way, but he stopped at the coop and and took out the largest fowl in the lot. “I had no intention of stealing the chicken,” said the prisoner. “I was passing thero last night and I reached in and got the chicken to look at it. I held it over in the light to see how fat 1t was and just then I thought of my basket, which I bad left near the curbstone, and I walked o there to get it, taking the chicken with me. when Iwen home I took the chicken, with intention of returning it. “Hereafter,” said the judge, “when you are in the neighborhood of a ohicken coop keep on rae rate ities aoe i 4 ine or fifteen was imy |, ame the fine was paid. i “Take $5 for the comb and brush,” said Mr. Clagett. ‘There was a charge of the theft of those articles from Daisy Gray. ‘The defendant in the case was Warren W.

They admitted that they took the wood, thinking it was refuse material. Mr. Lord did not want them severely punished and the court fined them $5 each. ALEXANDEIA, THE COMING SUPERINTENDENT OT SCHOOLS. It is expected that the Hon. K. Kemper will, when the resignation of the present superin- tendent of echoois here goes into effect, be appointed to that position by the state board of education, which con- sists of Gov. McKinney, Attorney General Scott and School Superintendent Massey. Mr. Kemper is an alumnus of the University of Virginia and hag always been its representative here in the bestowal of its certificates. He was for a while mayor of Alexandria and has filled many other public positions. The phrase “a scholar and a gentleman” will apply most em- phatically to the new superintendent of schools. THE ALEXANDRIA STREET SWEEPERS, The chain gang is upon King street near Washington this morning busy with’ their brooms. The recent disorders in somo sec- tions of the town has largely recruited the chain gang, and while augmenting the city expenses at the jail has largely increased the industrial forces of the corporation. A new broom sweeps clean, but it is suid that a new sweeper on the Alexandria streets does not follow the example of a new broom. CITY SCHOOL BOARD. The city school board will meet tonight for the election of such teachers as have not been chosen previously. All the teachers who held professional certificates have already been re- elected, and now the teachers who have annual certificates will be chosen., It is probable that the rule which restricts teachers making less than 9 per cent to $35 per month salary will be suspended for one year. THE COUNTY SCHOOLS. ‘The school trustees of Arlington district at their last meeting elected the school teachers of that district as follows: Wm. E.

It is needless to state that Mr. Irwin's departure will cause no feel- ings of regret here, where his retention was | universally regarded as a most serious obstacle to the club's advancement. Nor is it necessary to remind the mauagement of the club that the engagement of Mr. Irwin was a great mistake in the ‘iret place, for it ix now very evident that that fact is fully realized by the gentlemen at the head of the club. The appointment of Richardson as manager meets ihe full approval of every one here at all interested in the game, and it ix believed that his appointment will be as satisfactory to the players as was Mr. Irwin's departure. He finds his club at the bottom of the list, but every one here feelé confident that under his management this truth will be made manifest—that the weakness of the ciub lay not in the players, but in its manager. ‘NoTES. Cleveland has gone daft over the work of its ball club. Baltimore has signed Pitcher Kling, late of the Rockford, Ill., team. Maybe Anson's Colts have got those pneu- matic tires on their sulkies.

Father Bary expects to realize enough | from the sales to pay for the #9,000 parsonage that is now being ‘erected south'of the preset church, BAD SMELLING FIRES. Those horribly smelling fires which are daily kindled on the dumps near the M street bridge are still the bane of the surrounding residents’ lives. Just about sundown they always spread and the smoke which arises so pollutes the air for squares around that the more sensitive peo- le are obliged to keep their windows down. treet car passengers, too, as they cross the bridge, are seriously annoyed by the odor. The fires are fod with old shoes, carpet, oil cloth and other like fuel. The Police hare ‘been several times complained to, bus they seem unable to put & stop to the nuisance. ‘TWO DEATHS. \ Eva, the thirteen-year-old daughter of Mr. Thomas Blackman of 3326 M street, died at an early hour thie morning. “The funeral will take lace from the residence of her sister, Mre.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: No subject can possibly present so much of importance to the American people today as the probable appearance of the dread visitor, chol- era, in our midst at an early date, Neither po- litical problems nor strikes, nor any considera- tion of public welfare or economy,can compare in seriousness to this awful visitor to American homes, it is not too much to state that the danger is imminent. Thirty-seven years ago Asiatic cholera pre- vailed in the United States. It came from Eu- rope almost identically as it now threatens us. New York steamers are plying directly with Antwerp (where it is officially stated as now pre- vailing), Baltimore and New York steamers to Hamburg, and New York to Havre, in all of which ports the disease now prevails. The writer has had experience in this visitation, at the time of its last appearance in this country, and it is absolutely certain to reach our shores soon unless the most stringent measures are adopted by the government to prevent it. One case in New York, Baltimore or Philadelphia mear. death and inexpressible calamity to thoa- sands of homes, It is impossible for the au- thoritios to exaggerate the magnitude of the danger or the grave importance that attaches to their responsibility at this moment. What onght to be done? 1. No vessel should be permitted to enter any American port from any foreign port where cholera prevails. Noquestion of inconvenience of travelers or tourists should be permitted to sway the action of those in authority in this matter now. 2. Aquarantine of the most rigid possible character should be established at once At every port where foreign vessels land. 3. No vessel carrying rags or other material which can become a vehicle for the transmis- sion of infection should be permitted to dis- charge its cargo if froma port in any country where the disease prevails. 4. Special details of health officers should be made to guard the entry in any port of tram steamers, and the most’ rigid rules established governing this subject. 5. The authorities in all seaport towns and cities should instantly take steps to clean the streets and alloys. 6. The proas everywhere in the const cities and towns should sound the note of warning, so that Heyl amd will take knowledge of the facts do their duty. Decaying vegetable matter and garbage in a cholers-stricken city means the immediate spread of the disease and death with the visitation. It is not too late to prevent this scourge from lodgement in our country, but only by the ut- rest the responsibilty see to this? Will they meet these responsibilitics with measures quate to the seriousness of the situation?
