Sentence of Cabman Burley for Assaulting Miss Brooks. ‘The forfeiture of €20 collateral in the Police Court three days ago by James E. Burley,a eab driver, who was accused of having com- mitted an assault on a young colored woman named Bertha Brooks, as published in Tue Sran at the time, was not at all satisfactory to the officials, nor were the members of the young lady’s family satisfied. The assault was an indecent one and was committed, as heretofore published, on the road just across Benning road, where there is & deep cut and where under cover of darkness the perpetrator was not in much danger of be- ing caught at so late an hour. It was because of the serious nature of the affair that an attachment was issued and the cabman was brought into court today. ‘Miss Brooks appeared on the stand and gave her version of the affair. She is a daughter of Mr. John Brooks, one of the most prominent and (highly respected residents of Benning: Mr. George Miller, the keeper of the saloon at the bridge, was also an important witnesss, as was Policeman Kenny, who made the arrest. prosecuting witness said that she em- ployed the driver to take ber home on the night in question, and when he got in the deep cut on the road his actions toward her were highly im- proper and his propositions were such that she would not like torepeatin court. She resented his insult and jumped out of the cab. going to Miller's saloon, where she got the necessary protection and was sent home. Then she re- turned to the city and was taken to the cab stand, where she identified the driver. ‘Thé defendant denied the charge and said there was a dispute about the fare. ‘As to that point Saloon Keeper Miller gave testimony. He heard the gir! call to the driver to stop and get his money, but he drove off and got out of sight. ‘Miss Brooks wasagain closely quostioned about the affair and she repeated the story just as she related it at first. Judge Miller made no comments on the case, but gave the prisoner eix months in jail, —_— Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued by the clerk of the court to the following: Charles H. Brown and Susie Stevenson; J. H. Norfolk of Baltimore and Amelia Davis; 8. J. Spiggie and Geraldine Stewart, both of ’Roanoke, Va.; W. E. Peake and Maggie Murphy; W. J. Drury and Sarah B.

Fonr gold medals have been made by a jew- eler in Washington for the four classes in Marietta College (Ohio), to be awarded at commencement. ‘These medals are presented by Mr. W. J. Lampton of the Detroit Free Press burean, and embody a new idea in col- lege honors, inasmuch as scholarship or excel- lence in books is not the standard by which they are awarded. Each is a perfectly plain square, bearing the inscription, “To the Best Hlow,”” and a vote of the class and faculty is to decide who that student is. He is to be ® manly man, which necessarily includes honesty, rel bility, sobriety, Christian belief, unseliishness, gentlemanly deportment, at least a fair stand- ing in his class, appreciation of outdoor sporte and, generally speaking, ail those qualities which go to make up the man who is the kind of aman every man ought to be—the best all- around fellow. ‘The proposition to present these medals was made some time ago, and it was received with a unanimity which ‘speake | volumes for the esprit du corps of the college | and indicates that such a medal will stand first in popularity among students and faculty. —— Marvelous Machinery.

Just at present there is no topic quite so interesting as the preparations President and Mrs. Cleveland are making to move into their country home. The exterior and in- terior of the house and the grounds are re- ceiving the final touches. Just when the dis- tinguished occupants will move in is some- thing which lies entirely in their own hands. The garden in front of the mansion is already blooming with flowers, and it probably looks prettier than it ever did before. The fur- niture is now being placed in order. It was all brought from New York and is the same which has been used by President and Mrs, Cleveland in both of the om they have had in that city during the last four years. Jt is associated with all their housekeeping days and has therefore an intrinsic value to them far bove any that could be placed on it in other ways, tis not giving very much time or attention to these finishing touches to the mansion, because he knows Mrs. Cleveland can do it infinitely better and because he has no leisure to give to it. In conversation not very long ago the Presi- dent said that he did not look forward to being — from this city atany length during the ig summer. It was im ible for him to Go i it when, here before, and he could not see any idie hours ahead of him or in fact many opportunities to even gctamay and take some of his work with him. chances are, there- fore, that the country home on Woodley lane will shelter its disti occupants pretty nearly all summer. Simultaneous with the departure of the office seeker from the White House there came the necessity of strengthening a part of the west end of the mansion. On Monday workmen com- menced to put in a strong girder across the little reception room at the right of the main entrance. The room directly over this is the large white-tiled bath room put in during the last two years to replace the old-fashioned and unsanitary plumbing arrangements ¢o long in vogue there. All these new arrangements meant, however, a great increase of weight, and it was thought best to — the old girders which have becn in the house since it was built by new ones. It will be remembered that while Col. Wilson was before in charge of public buildings and grounds that he had all ¢! girders and supports of the west stairway re- Placed by new ones. ira. W. Ross Browne is convalescent after As protracted illness, and expects to be able to leave Washington for her seaside home by the last of June. . Senator and Mrs, Morrill, Miss Swan and Mr. James Morrill will leave here by the end of the week. Senator McMillan’s family has gone home to Detroit, where they will remain a month or 80 before going to Chicago. Secretary Herbert was the guest of honor last night at a reception given by the Southern Society in New York. The rooms were 60 crowded that the Secretary and his party, which included Miss Herbert, Mr. and Mra.

Matters along the Chesapeake and Ohio canal are extremely quiet. The recent break in the waterway has caused delay in the arrival of boats at Cumberland, and consequently in the loading and dispatch to this port. But one barge was loaded at the up end of the canal on Tuesday, and none yesterday. The arrivals at this end are also very slight. This hitch will’ be rectified, and in a few days the travel will be at ite height. The schooner Sagamore has not been bean’ from and te oxpocted up st any moment. Zhe officials of the Meredith Winship Coal Company state that they would not be apt to from her until she arrives in the Compra channel.

ROBINSON RESIONS, At a meeting of the congregation of the West Street Presbyterian Church last night two let- ters from Rev. George Robinson, who was Te- cently elected pastor, were read, in which was stated in substance that since be had verbally accepted the call of the church he had grad- uatedjat Princeton with the frst honors,thereby winning a one year's scholarship at Ber- lin, Germany. ing to take advantage of the opportunity before him he therefore re- signed torate that had been couferred upon him, but with the sincerest regret. After some discussion, in which it was seen by all that the reverend gentleman should not be hindered in the studies he so desired to continue, the congregation voted to release trom his verbal acceptance of the charge. In addition to the vear's tuition at Berlin Rev. Mr. Robin- son will be awarded $600 by Princeton Col- lege. A SAILBOAT CAPSIZED, A sailboat capsized below the Aquedact bridge yesterday. Nobody drowned, but this fortunate circumstance was not due to the sailorship of the crew. but the fact that the boat was without ballast. She had run free trom some point down stream, and when near the bridge went about. This was accomplished without acci- dent, but with a good deal of ominous lurching. She got into tne wind all right, but did not seem to have enough center- board to stay, and began to loosen her hold on the water. The sheet was tangled and the tillerman did not ease her up in time. Hence the fiop. Her people hung on and were taken off by a boat from the south shore manned by a colored boy. It might have been ‘serious accident. OFFICERS ELECTED.
