ACTIVE TRAFFIC ON THE CANAL The River Needs Dredging Above Rock Creek. REAL ESTATE SALES. Capt. Crampton, one of those sturdy- looking, bronzed masters of the canal, is in @ little difficulty. A short time ago he bought of Mr. Robert E. Tenney, the miller, under what is known as a conditional bill of sale, three mules, agreeing to pay $250 for them. One of the conditions of the sale was that, if the animals were not humanely treated pending the eonsumma- tion of the deal, the party of the first part or the seller could regain possession of them, the buyer forfeiting all that had been paid on account of the purchase. ‘Though {t is said the notes given in the case have been promptly met the humane clause was not carried out and Mr. Tenney has accordingly regained the mules in the manner prescribed by law. Capt. Cramp- ton is thereby left in town with no money, @ loaded canal boat and no power to move it. Had the selzure taken place at Cumber- Jand more mules could readily have been secured under a conditional bill of sale, but at this end of the waterway it is a Fare thing to do. ‘They Are Apt to Kick. Canal boatmen are the greatest kickers on earth and were it not for the soothing eloquence of those who manipulate the figures and cash at the office of the com- pany anarchy on the old waterway would reign supreme. Every rule or regulation the officers make is objected to until a visit to headquarters is made. There the complaining one is so rubbed down that until the objectionable regulation is once More run up against he becomes tmbued with the {dea that the canal is being man- aged solely for his individual benefit. The Need of Dredging. The destruction of the Ellen Tobin, due to the existence of large rocks on the bot- tom of the river, and the more recent grounding of the four-master from Boston are an evidence of the great need of harbor work over here. River men say that in many places the stream should be dredged and they are surprised that more losses by vessel owners have not been sustained. | Nine-tenths of the District's wharf prop- erty is west of Rock creek and yet visits of the dredges are so rare as to excite in- dignant comment. Elocution Appreciated. Every meeting of the Linthicum Insti- tute students is looked forward to by the elocutionists with the keenest interest, as after the regular business is transacted an informal program of general excellence is always presented. Among the most en- Joyed of last night's features were the imi- tations of Faversham in “Aristocracy” and Sol Smith Russell in “The Poor Relation” by Mr. Robert Lowe, the reading of gems from newspapers by Mr. Collins | and speeches from “Josephine, Empress of the French.” Mr. T. O. Pulizzi gave Claude Melnotte’s description of the magnificent palace at Lake Como, and J. B. Miller read Clifford Howard's ‘Across the Way,” which was awarded the $15 prize offered by Cur- rent Literature for the best bit of society verse contributed during the month of ‘Across the Way” was published in July. The Star. “To My Favorite” and “Rival: and other exquisite poetical gems were | tened to with appreciation. At the next meeting the introduction of two new: plays in the students’ repertoire will be consid- ered. One—“The Race for a Dinner”—will, no doubt, make a hit, as it is sparkling over with bright speeches and good situa- ons. Real Estate Sales. For $00 J. C. Handback yester- day sold to Geo.

THE STATE OF COLUMBIA. ffrace Men Willing to Concede the Capitol Grounds to Congress. ‘The advocates of local suffrage, styling themselves the home rule committee of the District of Columbia, who have con- ceived the idea of having the District de- mand admission to the Union as a state, met last night at No. 388 Indiana avenue, with Col. A. E. Redstone in the chair and Patrick H. Loughran as secretary. The committee on ways and means re- Ported that the Commissioners had prom- ised police protection to the open air meet- ings which It 1s proposed to hold. A preamble and resolutions, offered by Mr. Alva Udell, were adopted, setting forth the general arguments by which the right of admission as a state is claimed, and granting to Congress the right to exclusive legislative control over the Capitol buildings and grounds. The text of the preamble and resolution is as follows: Whereas the Constitution gives a power to Congress to dispose of the territory and other property of the United States, and also a power to divide such territory into states and admit them into the Union; and whereas, under the act of Congress, ap- proved May 3, 1802, entitled “‘an act to in- corporate the inhabitants of the city of Washington, in the District of Columbia,” the city was given a power to authorize the drawing of lotteries; and whereas, by en- actment of the general assembly of the State of Virginia the sale of lottery tickets Was prohibited in that state, which in the Year IS¢1 caused the arrest and convietion of certain persons for selling lottery tickets in the state which had been authorized by the federal corporation of the city of Wash- ington, in consequence of which a sovereign state was dragged to the bar of a federal court; and whereas, by sundry other pro- ceedings of the general government too nu- merous to mention, the police power of free and independent states has been coun- tervailed and overridden in pursuance of the enforcement of exclusive legislation by Congress over the territories and other roperty of the United States; and whereas, the act of Congress, approved July 9, 186, entitled “an ‘act to. retrocede the county of Alexandria, in the District of Co- Jumbia, to the state of Virginia,” it was rightly’ declared that “no more’ territory ought to be held under the exclusive legis lation given to Congress over the District which is the seat of general government than may be necessary and proper for the urposes of such seat;” and whereas the istrict of Columbia, which contains more population thar either of the states of Del- aware, North Dakota or Idaho, and more than twice as many people as the states of Nevada and Wyoming combined, should be- come one of the United States; and whereas by the act of Congress, approved September 9, 1850, entitled “an act for the mission of the state of California into the Union,” it was declared that ‘the people of Califor- nia had prepared a constitution and asked for admission into the Union, which consti- tution had been presented to’ Congress, and on examination found to be republican in its form of government;” and whereas Cal- Mornia was thereupon and without any enabling act admitted into the Union; there- fore be it Resolved, That the citizens’ home rule committee of the District of Columbia urge the people of the District, regardless of their past political affiliations, to unite with them in preparing a state constitution and in securing the admission of the state of Columbia into the Union on an equal foot- ing with the original states in ail respects whatever; and in the constitution of sald state of ‘Columbia the boundaries of the state should be described substantially as follows: Commencing below the eastern branch ‘of the Potomac river, at the point of intersection of the boundaries of the states of Maryland and Virginia; thence along the boundary of the state of Mary- land, northerly, westerly and southerly, to the point of intersection of the boundaries of said states of Virginla and Maryland; thence easterly along the boundary of the state of Virginia to the place of beginning. Reserving to the Congress of the United States the right of exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever over sal District situate in the city of Washington and bounded on the north by B street north, on the west by Ist street west, on the south by B street south and on the east by ist street east, said District not exceeding ten miles square. as required by the Constitu- tion of the United States, the same being occupied as a seat of government for the United States; and Congress shall exercise Mike authority over all other lands that are or may become the exclusive property of the United States. The name of home rule committee of the District of Columbia was adopted, ad- dresses made, and at a late hour the com- mittee adjourned, to meet again on Monday nig! ——— A LIVELY CHASE After a Female Colored Thief, Who ‘Was Captured. There was an exciting scene in the vicint- ty of 3d and F streets this morning, when a colored woman was found in the house of Miss Belle Meeks. The woman's name 1s Mary Ellen Braxton, an old offender who has served time in prison for various kinds of thefts, but today she gave her name as Bertie Davis. When Miss Meeks found her in her room the woman had taken pieces of Jewelry and other articles, and was ready to leave, but she was stopped and asked for an explanation, whereupon she knocked Miss Meeks down and started to run. ‘The latter, however, was close behind her, and her cries of “Stop, thief,” attracted a crowd of men, who joined ‘in the pursuit, and captured the woman. Detectives Wheeler and Boyd soon arrived and took charge of the woman. In the meantime, however, she had been relleved of her plunder. The detectives took the woman to police headquarters, where she was interviewod concerning her actions. She denied the charge of theft, and claimed that she was looking for a service place. Mary was sent to the sixth precinct sta- tion, and locked up for a hearing in court tomorrow. eee The So-Called “Garbage Factory.” ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: The petition of South Washington citi- zens, protesting against the so-called “‘gar- bage factory, rves more than a passing The question of “trades nuisances” has occupled the time and attention of medical officers of health in the old countries, as well as that of state and local boards of health in the United States, for many years. The outcome of this labor has been the securement of removal of all establishments for the utilization of offal beyond, and far removed, from centralization of population. ‘The prima facie idea of the Commisston- ers of the District in granting authority for the erection of such a plant as that now complained of was undoubtedly to secure the complete destruction by incineratio1 (or, as it was termed, “cremation") of all decomposed or decomposing animal and Vegetable matter such as comprise the waste of a great city, and commonly known as garbage. ‘The tankage of such material, for profit, by means of the application of a certain amount of heat, just sufficient to throw off into the atmosphere all other than the fatty substance and heavy fibre, must of neces- sity give to that atmosphere nolsome odors and noxious gases detrimental to health. It was the existence of just such places, viz.the Bates soap factory, between G and H, 6th and 7th streets northwest, the Raub establishment on Ohio avenue and the as- phalt refinery at 11th and B northwest, that made it necessary to place upon the Re- vised Statutes of the United States the act of April 24, 1880, which expressly prohibits the utilization by “rendering” of animal or Yegetable offal in the “cities of Washington an rxetown or their more densel; ulated suburb: eee If, as the community was led to believe was to be, the city offal were taken toa crematory and there destroyed by a process which accomplished complete combustion, not only of the material itself, but also of any and all gaseous substances arising therefrom, then the object would be accom- plished, If, however, on the other hand, we have permitted unwittingly the establishment of # plant where garbage and dead animals are to be cooked for the grease that they afford, and the gases and odors from the reduction tanks are to be liberated to the mercy of the prevailing southern winds, while the offensive drainage flows quietly into the street gutter and thence finds its way into the placid marshes of the Eastern branch, then it was but idle folly to place such a'measure as that of April 24, 1880, on the statute books. Is not this petition of citizens worthy of more than a passing notice? PRO BONO PUBLICO. Not Below, but Above the Stand: Some time ago the Sioux City, Iowa, Journal contained an article giving the proceedings of the Iowa state board of medical examiners and a list of the medi- cal schools of the country that were on its black books because they did not come up to the high standard of the board. Among the schools mentioned was the Co- lumblan University of this city. The ar- ticle caused a great deal of feeling among the graduates of Columbian in the west, who were sure there was some mistake somewhere. Such has proved to be the case, for the Journal recently contained a letter from the secretary of the board to the dean of the medical @epartment of the Columbian University, in which he states that no one had any authority to say that the school was in bad repute with the Iowa board. Its standards, he says, are not only up to-but above the require: ments of the board. There was but one graduate of Columbian for a certificate at the last meeting of the board. It was promptly granted without a dissenting vote. HEARD IN POLICE CIRCLES. The Publio Guardians and the Olass They Mainly Deal With. Promotions in the Force—The Trade of G ing and Thieving at a Low Ebb—Items of Personal Interest. Policemen like all other persons are inter- ested in the amount of their salary, end just now some of them are making great Strides to get into the second class, which means en increase of $15 a month in their salary. The rule of rotation does not apply in this instance, so that the length of ser- vice has nothing to do with the promotion. Neither does the making of a record as Judged from the number of cases, for it has often been said by policemen that the best men on the foree were by no means those who seem anxious to get in court every day Just for the sake of going there, and ut the same time piling up the number of cases to their credit. There are now on the force Some officers who have seen several years of good service and who are still receiving the pay of a private of the first class, while {here are others who have not been on the force near so long who are recelving t the pay of officers of the second. tus, tq some instances there are records against the men who have thus been treated, oF their record has not been particularly bril- Mant. Charges have been filed against some of them and they have been before the trial committee. A record of this sort affects an officer's standing in the department und necessarily delays his promotion. ‘The men who make good records for efficiency are those whose beats are kept free from com- plaints and upon whose beats thieves do :ot ve full sway without fear of detection. ‘These are some of the reasons why certain members of the force have been knocking at the official door for recognition for some e. Gamblers and Thieves, Washington is about as free from profes- sional gamblers now, #0 the police officers say, as it has been at any time for years. Down town in the vicinity of “Rum Row” and over many beer saloons the clashing of poker chips and the shufiling of cards are not to be heard by the pedestrians who hap- pen to pass along the streets, nor is there the “capper” about the street corners wait- ing for an opportunity to jure into some den of card sharks the man who thinks he can beat any game of cards or other gamblin; scheme. The clubs organized for “social and literary improvement,” and in whose Tooms nothing but gambling is done, have disbanded, and this is perhaps directly due to the manner in which the police raided them and the substantial jail sentences im- Posed by Judge McComas and by Judge Cole. Then, too, there has been the con- spicuous absence of professional confidence en taking strangers across the river to gee an unveiling of some iyted moaument. Petty thieves, though, are still about, and while many of them have operated during the past few weeks a large number have been caught and jailed. ‘The large numbers of persons who are ar- rested from day to day and the immense amount of business furnished the Poiice Court have caused comment in police circles recently. Seldom are there fewer than two dozen prisoners in court in a single day, while often the number reaches fifty. Re- cently the number of female prisoners has largely increased, and it is nothing unusual to see a dozen of’ them behind th “Where do they get the money to pay thelr, fines?” is @ question that is asked. Many of them of course work for their money, but there are others who never work, and yet their fines are always paid. “With the men,” a policeman told a re- porter, “many of them have servants or disreputable women who are in love with them, and they will sell the clothi from their’ backs rather than see thelr friends go dow 's hard times when this class of servant girls cannot carry away enough food to support one person other than herself.” Sidewalks as Stores. ‘The office's have been instructed to give some attention to the violations of a section of the police regulations which pro- vides against the occupancy of the public sidewalks and parks in front of houses for business purposes. This !aw xpplies to the numerous fruit stands that are erected without permission, and also to stores Where goods are displayed in front of the ouses. “Every now and then,” said one official the other day, “a second-hand store opens up in the middle of a square in a part of the city where there are nothing but resi- ences, and not only do they make an ob- jectionable sight by piling up the second. and furniture, but they wear off the gra: and spoil the beauty of the neighborhood.’ The latest move in the direction of mak- ing the metropolitan police force a model one is the consideration of the feasibility of establishing a photograph gallery in connection with the department and the appointment of a practical photographer to operate it. The department has long been in need of such a department be- cause in the line of police duty it ts often necessary to take photographs. Not only is it necessary to take photographs of criminals, but often strangers die here and are buried without first being identified, and the question of a man’s death often has an important bearing in the settle- ment of an estate. In almost every other city of any importance in the country pro- vision 1s made for such work and its re- sults are often beneficial. The question of having detectives at headquarters all night is another matter which the officials think is worthy of seri- ous consideration. One man is required each day to remain on duty at_headquarters, but after that hour no officer is to be found there. In other cities one or two of the detective officers sleep at headquarters and are there ready for action in case of emergency at any hour of the night. It is probable that the plan will be tried here in the near future. Police Personals. Maj. Moore goes away with the Light Infantry to Atlantic City. He will remain there several days and will then go to Harper's Ferry to spend part of his vaca- tion with his family. Chief Clerk Sylvester, who has been do- ing some hard work on the annual report of the department, has gone bass fishing at | Harper's Ferry for a couple of days. He| resented Chief John Doll of the Harper's erry police with a pair of nippers which were given to Detective Carter some time ago by Detective Nalnor, who has been laying such an important part in the Dr. Ktver poisoning case.

The nights are cool and delightful and one could sleep late in this sleep-inducing at- mosphere, but Dr. Laney is no friend to the sluggard nor the over-indulgent, and the 6:45 call to family prayer is religiously and energetically made. There were not many at this service this morning, for af- ter the late hours of last night it was 0 easy and reasonable to keep to our cot- tages because of the showers. ‘The 9 o'clock hour of prayer, however, attracted more and a good old-fashioned exchange of religious experiences revived the saints. Dr. Hugh Johnston of Toronto, Canada, now stationed at the Metropolitan Church, arrived by the morning train and preach- ed at ll am.

Mrs. Naylor accompanied the elder to camp this evening, and was heartily received by an endless circle of friend: Dr. Naylor preached the evening sermon, choosing for his text, Luke 19, 10, “For the Son of Man came to’seek and to save that which was lost.” Rev.

At the first dyke, which fs believed to be over two hundred years old, the main sport is fishing and scores of Washingtonians go there to spend pleasant hours. The second dyke to the west of the town, which bears about the same relation to Alexandria that the Kid- well bottoms do to Washington, has of late been made the resort of colored gam- blers, but the police made several raids there and their vigilance seems to have cleared off these birds of evil omen.
