There was but little drunkenness yesterday, #0 the police say, and they account for it from the fact that there was less calling than usual among the lower classes and also from the fact that there was Jess free rum than usual. The result of a quiet day was the appearance of only tivo dozen per- sons this morning, and some of them were non- reridents. | Tu the procession were several young men} whose good clothes and neat appearance made | it evident that they were ont calling yesterday, | und were unable to mukea small deposit and | keep away from court this morning. j TOO MUCH CALLING. | Robert Makett. a young colored man, jras in | such an embarrassing situation.

Robert Jonson was in tho same predica- ment. He had been out during the afternoon, and when he went to 7th street and Pennsylva- trouble. Policeman Hinkel took him in cus- tody and Judge Kimball gave a similar greeting Mike Lanhady and Willinm Fitzgerald came next in line, but they had no excuse to offer. | ‘They were in the toils vesterday and the judge excused them, Lanbady promised to’ keep sober fora week and Fitzgerald promised to leave the city before noon. Both men broke their promises and for that reason they were | ashamed to offer another excuse. “T thought yesterday,” said the judge, “that you wonld not keep sober for a week,” talking to Lanha: | Vhy did you uot go to Baltimore yester- day?” the judge asked Fitzgerald. ‘The old man could only Isugh. He was too full for utterance, and a sentence of ninety days was imposed. There was only a simple charge of disorderly against Lanhady and be got off with fifteen days. CHARLOTTE SMITH’S SENTENCE. Charlotte Smith was also in the procession. She was not the Charlotte Smith who is con- nected with the work of reciaiming unfortunate women, but isa colored resident of Fighting was a fight in the properly named ht, und “murder” was the cry of poor Charlotte, Her husband, she claimed, iad ill-treated ber and caused her to make the outery. but Policeman Wah Sanford, who ar- rested her, caw no evidence of an assault ha ing been ‘committed.

INSPECTOR He Says the Quarters Occupied by the De- tectives Are Unfit for Use. Inspector Hollinberger of the detective corps: has made a move toward securing new quarters for his branch of the police department. His complaint made some time ago did not accom- plish anything in the way of repairs, and so yesterday he made a second move in the form of a letter directed to Maj. Moore, xs follows: “1 again respectfully invite your attention to the condition of the rooms used for the detec- tive bureau of the police department, in build- ing 501 D street northwest. In my former re- port. date of November 4, 1892. I described the situation of the rooms, both as to their unsan- itary condition and their unfitness for the use to which they are applied, Dr. Hammett, the health officer, made a personal inspection of the premises ‘und declared them unfit for oc- eupancy. The owner of the building, upon being informed of its condition, expressed him- self as being willing to do whatever was needed. Upon receipt of this information I submitted, as you are aware, a statement of ebanges and repairs needed, diagrata T have been i showing the work to be done. formed at, Mr. 543 Namer's ofice, who is agent for the bui , that he is not willing to muke the changes that we require.

Efforts in Behalf of Men Who Were Dis- charged Before Their Ninety Days Expired. Application has been made on behalf of Mr. Daniel Genan, one of the survivors of the Union militia organized in this city before the | commencement of the war, for allowance of pay for the period between the nominal muster out of his Orgnnization, the eighth battalion, D. C. volunteers, and the actual date of the paying off and disbandment of the same, involving « pe- riod of some ten or eleven days. There is also ‘8 bill before Congress, which has been intro- duced for the beneiit of the District volunteers, extending the benefits of the act of June 27, 1890, to those whose term of service, by reason of some governmental action or other, fell short | of the present requirement of ninety days. It) Provides that where an honorable disc | Was granted by the government within fifteen | days of the completion of auch term of service | the benefits of the act cited sball accrue to | the volunteer or his heirs. The pin: ciple contended for by the friends of the bill is that the government, in accepting | the services of the three months’ men, did not | mean to shirk its solemn obligations toward | these men by availing itself of the advantage | offered under the ciause, ‘‘anless sooner dis- charged,” by turning them out of the service a few days before the actual end of their term of servico, but accepted the services rendered | #0 far asa completion of the whole term of en- listment as shown by the wording of the dis- charges given there men. The bill, which is in charge of Senator Davis of Minnesota on the Senate side of the Capitol is of special interest to many District people because it was right here in the District that the government the first volunteer force long before a shot was ficers to drill and command these men and finally made them a part of the volunteer force for under the President's proclamation. The circumstances attending the formation of these bodies ofevolunteers were of such peculiar na- ture that they probably find no parallel in the entire history of the country. Raised upon territory under the exclusive jurisdiction of the United " States, officered and commanded by regulars detailed for that purpose by the gen- eral of the army, at the direction of the Presi- dent, they were employed in guard daty upon United States buildings and property like reg- ulars, held responsible and court-martialed like regulars, yet the government never recognized or paid them for any service rendered prior to the muster-in, which was gone over again ase mere matter of form after the proclamation of President Lincoln. In one particular instance, that of the eighth battalion, the men, although mustered out from the 11th day of July, 1861, were held under orders and not paid off until the 22d of that month, thus virtually addi eleven days to their term of service, Its wi view of obtaining a recognition of this serv- ethat Mr. Genau has now applied to the Proper authorities for the allowance of pay for that period, which, if allowed, would neces- sarily carry with it the acknowledgment of the true length of servic See GEORGETOWN. ‘THE ARLINGTON RAILROAD.
