To a reporter for The Star he said that In height of tone his precinct would bear favorabie comparison with any in the District.. During the last quarter there were 561 arrests with about i per cent convictions. The quarter before that there were recorded but 3% arrests, put a heavy percentage of convictions. The reason of the small number for that uarter is that it followed the holiday it period of the year is always a quiet one, because the people are either broke in purse, broken in spirit by the police, or are doing penance at the farm. The three quarters preceding the post-holiday quarter were productive of 18, 660 a2] 607 arrests respectively. The seventh pracinct has a population of about 20,000, with a large colored and canal element, and a very heavy Saturday night population, and yet crime ts not extensive, and is ap- Parently on the decrease. ‘There has been ‘no big crime discovered in the seventh since the Harding killing at Tenleytown.

A Large Number of Prisoners in the Police Court. Most of Them Were Guilty of Minor aid the Penalty Fine or Imprisonment. Offenses and ‘There was the usual weekly raid made in South Washington last evening, and the result was that there were many prisoners in the Police Court dock this morning. The raid was attended with the customury €x- citing scenes. Several of the alleys weve visited and at one place a crowd of colored persons caused additional excitement by Tushing into a church in order to escape arrest. Nearly a dozen arrests were made. When the “Black Maria” had made its last trip this morning there were seventy- four prisoners in the Police Court cells, among them being the unlucky number, thirteen, females. Of the entire number arrested seventeen were charged with vio- lations of ‘the laws of the United States and fifty-seven were in for having Violated the laws of the District, such as disorderly conduct, profanity and vagrancy. “Lm guilty but would like to make a statement,” was the plea of many of the prisoners ‘who were ‘acquainted with the manner of running a crediy account in court. “If you give me till next da; Yl pay the tine.” Briere Those who were able to make a good showing and get a policeman to vouch for them were given time. ‘The others were not credited. When court convened the dock was scarcely large enough to hold the number who were ready for trial. One Let Go, Two Sent Down. Three young colored men who were found in the vicinity of the watermelon and canteloupe patches about benuing, were accused of being vagrants. “But we ain't no vags,” was what one of them said. William Junius, Frank Allen and Lucas erty, were the names given by the Prisoners, “These men were loitering about Benning acting suspiciously." said Policeman Gurd- ner, “and when i went to arrest them they broke and ran. I fired one shot at them and then succeeded in capturing them. “What's your name?" the court asked one of the men. “Willlam Junius,” was his reply, “and I came from Alexandria. dave you a home there?” es, sir, and a good one.” Where had you been?” had been in Baltimore, and was on my way home,” “You can go," said the court, “and don't let the dust of this city lit on your coat while crossing the bridge.” ‘The prisoner started out at a 2:40 gait, and when he had cleared the door he made @ start in the direction of South Washing- live at Bowie and was on my way home from Jackson City.” “When did you leave Jackson City?” And Tt took nT “And it took you all that time to get as far as Benning?” . Yes. sir.” “And where do you live?" the third mem- ber_of the party Yas ‘asked. “Same place. “Thirty days each.” A Black Valentine. “This woman,” said a policeman, “4s an old rounder. She was capping for a place suspected of being a ‘speak easy,’ and when the coast was clear she would iet in the gang. When I reached the place there were seven men waiting to get in- side, but when they saw me coming they locked the gate. Later in the evening I arrested her, and she had # bottle of drug store whisky in her pocket.” Nancy Valentine was the name of the colored woman, and she denied that she was a vagrant. “It's prejudy the police {s got against was her statement. “But you were at this house Saturday night and yesterday.” “Yes, sir.” “Thirty. days.” William H. Jones, a colored man who got drunk Saturday, was so polite that he got into trouble. “He was taking off his hat to ladies on the street,” said the officer, “and when one of them spoke to him about his conduct he used abusive language.” “Eight dollars,” said the judge, who thought the facts called for a raise of the usual fine. “James Johnson was in Dorr’s court Sat- urday night kicking up the devil,” said Policeman Bassford. n unusual disorder?” queried the judge. es, sir. fThen he can pay a fine of ten dollars. “You raised him twice,.it’s a wonder he didn’t call you,” was the remark made to the court. William Gee and Charles Pinkney, colored men, plead guilty and asked for time to pay their fines. Pinkney made a good showing, and was given credit, but Gee, who belongs in Georgetown, had to step back. William Spous plead not guilty to a charge of disorderly, but he was convicted, and the court made his fine $3 more than the usual amount. A colored trio from East Washington, Wisby Ford, Helen Ball and William Har- rison, next ‘appeared and the evidence cf two policemen convicted them. The woman claimed that she had done nothing, but said she was unfortunate enough to be in the crowd. “One of the men had a bottle of ci: I took it out of his pocket, but ¢ not much left in It.” They were fined $8 or twenty-four days eacl in and e Was ‘Trken From Castle Thunde: Percy Brown and a colored woman named Mamie Harris were charged with being disorderly. “Gulity,” replied the woman. “not guilty.” “These people were in ‘Castle Thunder’ on New Jersey avenue,” said Policeian Wannell, and when I went in the building the crowd scattered and I could only get these prisoners, for the building is so shaky that it is dangerous to go through fe" lived in the house, Percy said Perey said that he where a number of disreputable persons Hive nd,” he said, “I often have to make them keep quiet He was fined $8 and the woman $3 less. Emanuel Wilson and Sarah Waters, col. ored, were arrested for being disorderly, cee ee agen on man was not su fo conviet and the charge ara him was dismissed, i hg Johnson at the Bat. “Johnson was at the bat,” said Policeman Harrover, who had a number of small col- ored boys in court for playing ball on a lot near 19th street and Columbia avenue yes- terday, “but Johnson forfeited his col- lateral. The other boys appeared in the proces- sion and were tried. Judge Taylor warned them against a repetition of the offense and released them on their personal bonds. “George Fox,” was calied, and a colored man answered, Not guilty,” he plead. The proof was heard, and taking up the time of the court cost him $3 more than the usual fine. “Cursing and swearing won't always make a man pay his debts,” was what the court told John Ricks, a colored man. He had some trouble with a man whom he claimed owed him money, and that was | Why he used the bad language: “Five dol- hy.) Wm. Lewis, a colored boy, who went to the Center market Saturday, was arrested because he put his hand in a woman's pocket. That was why he was accused of being a suspicious person. “I ‘didn't have my hand in nobody's pocket,” said the boy. “But the officer says he saw you,” re- marked the court. “No, he didn’t see me.” ‘nis boy,” said Officer Breen, “has been about the market several days, and T saw him in company with a professional pick- pocket.” “Ninety days.” A smal ‘colored boy named Spencer Barnes, who hes been throwing stones at boys on their way to the bathing beach, and otherwise annoying them,was tried for throwing stones, Policeman Kilmartin told the court that the boy made a confession, “Five dollars or fifteen days.” And so the procession went on and those who composed It were dealt with accord- ing to the facts in their cases. In Judze Mills Court. In Judge Mills’ court there was a short procession, but the cases {nvolved a greater degree of violence and in some of them there was an actual loss of blood. Thomas Mcintire’s shirt and necktie were bloodstained, and a wound on_ his head showed from where the red. fluid had come. He visited the Baltimore and Ohio hack stand and wanted to hire a hack. The citizen of Northeast Washine- ton was suffering under a nervous strain from a cause which was apparent from his breath, and he proceeded 10 use violence as a means of persuading the driver that he wanted a ride. Louis Clark, the colored man who figured in ‘the combat, buried his teeth in MeIn- tire’s face. Policeman Howe took them both in, and Clark was fined %. McIntire was assessed twice the amount. “I'm guilty, but it was an accident,” was what Frank Brooks, a negro, said when ar- raigned fo> assaulting the woman who lived with him as his wife. Liquor in the domestic dispute and the woman was cut in the side. “I had a knife in my hand when the quarrel commenced,” said Frank, “and she accidentally got cut.” “This kind of an accident is not to be tolerated,” was whet Judge Mills said. “In every case where a weapon figures and the proof convicts a jail sentence will follow.” Brooks was given ninety days in jail. A plea of guilty was entered in the case of a little colored giri named Rosa Ross, who was charged with having stolen $15 from Mrs. Mary Weathers. The girl's mother is living, ‘but the judge thought she was not caring for the child properly and so he turned her over to the board of chil- dren's guardians, Mintie Wright plead guilty to a charge of stealing $10 worth of pictures from Caroline Fletcher, and a fine of $10 or 30 days was imposed. ee WASHINGTON GROVE CAMP MEETING The Twenty-first Meeting Commences Tomorrow With Excellent Proxpects.

For the house of delegates it is likely that Mr. Dent Downing. who was formerly a school teacher in Hyattsville, will be nominated from Aquasco district.” Mr. Jos. 8. Wilson of Marlboro’ will, no doubt, be another can- didate. The chances are’ that the third luce will lie between Mr. J. C. Rogers of ladensburg, Mr. Anthony L. Ray of the Neck, and Mr. Tschiffely. Mr. Dove has no apparent opposition for sheriff. Mr. J. Darcey of Surratt district is talked of for the house of delegates. Mr. E. M. Burchard of Hyattsville, chair- man of the committee representins ‘the in- dependent party, hes applied to the board of directors of the county fair asking them to appoint a people's day during the fair, at which prominent speakers may address the people of the county. > An Interesting Experiment. An Interesting experiment will soon be made by the local sicnal service force. It is proposed to establish 2 signal station at one of the highest points on Round Hill, Snickers’ Gap, Va., and another on the top of the Washington Monument. Communi- cation will then be attempted by means of a heliograph in the day time and at night by one of the new signal ianterns recently adopted by the signal corps. The officials of the signal corps have little doubt of their ability to read sfgnals successfully between the two points named. _ Denth of the Widow of Admiral Sands Mrs. Henrietta _M, Sands, widow of the late Admiral B.

FUN IN LARGE PACKAGES. The Corcoran Cadets Enjoying Them: selves at Camp Harries. CAMP GEO. H, HARRIES, VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., August 11, 1893. ‘The life of Camp Geo. H. Harries is draw- ing to a close. Some of the boys are being seized with neryous prostration from the | effects of the approaching day when they Joosen their guide ropes and pull up stakes | to drop their tents and pack up to leave for Washington. There was nearly a barrel of | oysters for each member of the corps and } their friends at an oyster roast given this | morning at Lynn Haven bay by the officers of the corps. An army of shuckers were kept busy at work shucking, and for a long time an applicant could be found for eacn | oyster, uni every one was So full of oy3- ters that he or she would back, and their piace be taken by somebody else who nad room for a few more. Barrel after barrel OL ie large Lyan Maven bays were a out of their beds close at hand and poured on pans and roasted as only oysters can be roasted by experienced hands down here in their native land. Every man got his fill, and aiter a few short speeches trom a iew Of the prominent men of this place carriages Were bourded and the party returned. ‘This morning about 2 o'clock five fisher- men, very much intoxicated, came down on. us With ‘the full intention of doing up the camp, but Private Holst, who was doing guard duty at the time, overheard their in- tention and immediately crouched down in the tall grass aad waited for them to put in their appearance. Just as they had climbed the wire fence which incloses the camp grounds he immediately gave them the command to halt, which warning they Were inchned not to obey, wren xcivate Holst cocked his rifle and ‘raised it to his shouider and warned them if any one of them moved he would put a bullet through him, and the meantime calling for the cor- poral of the guard. On arrival of the cor- poral, and he seeing the ciass of people he had to deal with, called out the guard, and, at the point of hulf dozen rifles, they’ were marched to the guard tent, where they were heid in custody until this morning, when, aiter recelving a severe lecture from Capt. Edwards, which they responded to by ask- ing the boys’ pardon, one of them mage a very pretty lecture, in which he compli- mented the boys on their fine military disci pine, and especially Private Holst on his ravery. Sixteen of the boys last night attended an old-fashioned “stag party,” given by Messrs, McLaughlin and Walsh of the life guard of this place. Dancing was indulged in until midnight, after which refreshments were served In abundance. Music was fur- nished by Bob, the company servant, with his banjo, and an “old tramp” that reached here today, with a violin. Many ladies were among the spectators, but were not per- mitted to take part. Mr. Elmer Jasper, an honorary member of the corps, arrived in camp today and immediately "reported to Capt. Edwards. He being an ex-member, as well as an honorary member, will again don the brass buttons and will’ go out on dress parade this evening. Private Kichold, who, by the way, is an expert swimmer, while giving an exhibition ef fancy swimming before a large crowd, thought he would show them how the Washington boys couid dive, but the water Was hot quite as deep as the English chan- nel, so, consequently, his nose is now ‘bare of its covering. On the beach this morning was seen a very amusing sight—eight Corcoran Cadets in thelr bathing sults dancing the lanciers to the imaginary music played by Smith and Findley; after the dance a foot race, which was won by O. Taylor; a crawling race, won by Phelps; a somersault (back- | ward), six turns, won by Holst; jumping contest was won by Wakefield, and last, but by all considered the best, was a race at leap frog by teams of four, won by Capt. Edwards’ ‘team, consisting’ of Edwards, Hunter, Meyer ‘and “Jack’ Heath (Tay: lor). After considerable argument Smith ledtenant) and Rhodes had a 100-yard dash, Smith, with a 3-yard handicap, won by about one foot. = Private McQueeney, the “silent man,” as he has been named by the boys, has at last let himself out. Yesterday he took his iirst sea bath, and his warwhoop could bave been heard in Norfolk. ‘After drill yesterday, which, by the way, ‘as witnessed by a large cro’ proposed a swimming match, yards, which was won by Lieut. Smith, Private Gibson second. Fi ———— Four Pleasure Seekers Drowned. The Magnolia Outing Club of Chatta- Nooga gave an excursion on the river yes- terday, which terminated disastrously. While" on ‘the homeward trip a naphtha launch, on which were a number of people, attempted to transfer some of them to a barge which was fastened in front of the steamboat. In some manner the smaller craft swung in front of the barge and was sunk. Four men escaped by leaping on the barge, but Mrs. Charles Rife, Mrs. George Rife,’ Miss Wagner and a child were drowned. soo The Face as an Index.
