While engaged so the switching en- Sine backed up to the train with such force as to move the engine a few inches. The firemaa succeeded in getting his arm out, but Mr. Steele's arm, which he had through the sfokes of one of the drivers, was caught. He was at once extricated, and Dr. ¢. V. Boarman. the company’s surgeon, attended hhim, finding that he had sustained two com- Pound ‘ractures, one of the forearm and the Qther of the upper arm. He was sent to Providence Hospital.

A charge 0! disorderly conduct was preferred against him, and the case was heard in Judge Tay- Jor’s court. It was in proof that the girl in question had been living in the Clements family for several years. She was either his own child or an adopted child, but his wife had seen fit to let her go out in serv- fcc, and he raised an objection to her ac- ‘The treatment received by the girl, both at her home and her service place, Was discassed, and the girl told her story. She wanted to remain at her service place. ‘The case was in the Police Court some @ays ago, and Clements was then warned that he had better let the girl alone, but he failed to profit by the judge's advice, and #0 he was fined $25 or sixty days. —_.+_—_ Mar.

Linthicum Club. Rudyard Kipling’s original poems and Chas. H. Lummis’ “A Spanish Cigarette,” were the selections last night read and discussed by the Linthicum elocution stu- dents, after the regular rehearsals had been conducted. On conclusion of the readings Mr. R. C. Balinger recited one of James Whitcomb Riley's pretty poetical stories and then a Fecently, published prayer from the Ren of Whittier. Messre. Guy V. Coline, B. Sebastian, J. Travis Cocker and J. B. ‘Miller were the other contributors of verse. Many stories, in which nent actors figured, were told and then the meeting adjourned. A Long Ride. After a week's ride through 300 miles of mountainous country, Messrs. R. B. Cloak- ey, E. A. Pitkins, and L. O. Slack of the Georgetown Cycle Club are home again. ‘Thirty-second and M streets and Luray Cave were the termint of the trip, and the Toad leading to the goal the one that es through Fairfax House and Man- assas. Fifteen other villages were encoun- tered on the ride. The lowest number of miles traveled in one day was sixty-six, and the highest 112. The roads were miserable, many of them having never been gone over with a wheel. Dogs were troublesome, and several had to be shot. Many of the people met with in the most secluded moun- tainous districts were so struck with won- der at sight of the wheelmen that they were unable to answer questions. Policy and Newspapers. Mr. Francis B. Hedgman of the Evening News swore out a warrant today against Edward Reynolds, charging him with as- sault and battery. The assault was in- tigated by the recent publication of sev- eral articles in which policy and the pro- moters were condemned. Reynolds, known as one of the leading policy men of Rors- lyn, laid in wait near the Aqueduct bridge, and struck the newspaper man from hind, and, with several assistants, inilicted other blows. Force Reduced. The Norfolk and Western Failroad Com- pany, it is reported here, have largely re- duced the number of their employes on ac- count of the dullness of the times. Tuts railroad is the one Georgetowners desire to enter the District at this end above all others. Machinists, section hands and train men have been mostly affected by the reduction of the force.

At a meeting last evening at Saenger- bund Hall, K between 7th and 8th streets, of delegates from the German-American societies of the District it was decided, after a rather spirited discusg%m, to aban- | don the idea of a torchlight parade by Ger- man-American citizens upon the occasion of the centennial celebration of the laying of the corner stone of the Capitol on the 18th of next month. Mr. John Hockemeyer of the committee appointed to confer with the general com- mittee on celebration explained that while it was hoped for a time that the proposed torchlight parade could be carried out Chairman Gardner had stated that the pense of the parade was such that it could not be borne by the citizens’ committee, and that so far as the general committee ‘as concerned it would have to be aban- doned, although the committee sincerely desired that all of the German societies would be represented in the parade in one way or another. The explanation of Mr. Hockemeyer_ap- parently did not satisfy all of the dele- gates and several of them expressed them. selves as being in favor of declining to par- ticipate in any way whatever, but finally a resolution to the following effect was adopted and the discussion concluded: Inasmuch as so many members of our German societies belong to the Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows and other secret organizations, which will be identified with the celebration and parade, it is resolved that we will not for divisional repré sentation and will not take part in the parade as organized bodies. Vice Chairman Darr of the le com- mittee has been informed that the Rellef Hook and Ladder Company, with 2 men, and the Hydraulion Engine Company, with 59 men, apparatus and the Third Regiment Band of Alexandria, Va., would participate nthe parade, and that the Alexandria Light Infantry, with 70 men and music, would also parade. —_—— Grand Army Encampm air vin Pen . ‘These tie ets will be sold for all trains September 1, 2, 3 and 4.

To the Editor of The Evening Stai The undersigned, who reside near the foot of South Capitol street, respectfully ask for Space in the widely read columns of The Star oe which we have been subscribers for many years) enter our protest against & swill boiling establishment recently established in our midst, which we believe is e1 ring the health and lives of our pepe Well as doing great damage We desire to state that we were not in any way consulted in regard to the location of this factory It was located by the health department of the District of Columbia. as we are informed and belteve, in violation of an act of Congress approved April 24, 1880, which was passed to get rid of soap facto- ries within the city limits, which were much less reprehensible than this swill factory, which drains its filth into the open gutter of South Capitol street and out onto the marshes of the Eastern branch. The stench that permeates our dwellings from this factory is at times unendurable. Taig stench Is partially neutralized by the smell of burnt coffee, which we are in- formed is used as a deodorizer. But if this were 80, we protest inst being obliged to breathe an atmosp! ‘contin- uously with the odor of burnt coffee, pu- trid swill and rotten dead animals. This factory has been in operation for a Period of only about four months, and yet 30 deleterious is its effects during this brief time that the most of the fowls belonging to citizens in its vicinity who have been allowed to run at large have died, as we believe, from the effects of drinking water Poisoned by the drainage from this factory. A sickening black scum has recently formed on the water on either side of this factory, seen wee ever seen there before. Ai le this scum floats up against the banks of the river, where it remains, and as we believe is Poisoning the fowls’ that part =< it or drink the Ae joats, as well as polsoni we breathe. ‘The following are a few of the names of those who have recently lost ducks and chickens, as it is generally belleved, from the effects of drinking the poisonous Mater, and eating the offal’ trom ‘this gar- fenry ‘Schroth lost six ducks and two geese inside of two days recently.

Mrs. Berry lost fourteen out of eighteen chickens recently. Mrs. Berry has two little boys who have recently been afflicted with sores on their ankles, caused, as is gener- ally believed, by wading in the water pois- oned by the garbage factory. We demand in the name of justice and outraged law that this factory, where de- composed animals and rotten garbage are manufactured into fertilizers, be at once ré- moved from our midst. It is not only en- dangering the health and lives of our fam- ilies, but is greatly depreciating the value of fhe homes we have secured from the sa) of many years of toll.

IN POLICE CIRCLES. Matters Are Quiet Now While Maj. Moore is Away, Decrease in Cases of Petty Thieving— ‘The Commendation of Officers for Bravery—The Annual Report. Everything 1s quiet in police circles, says Capt. Austin, who ts acting chief of police during the absence of Major Moore, who is in Atlantic City with the Light Infantry. ‘The business of Major Moore's office has largely increased during the past few years for, in addition to the regular police busi- ness, all sorts of complaints are referred to the department from other branches of the District government, so that the time of the chief officer of the department is by ho means his own. Then, too, the liquor license question occupies a large part of thé major’s time and he 1s obliged to read all the evidence given in the police trials be- fore it is submitted to the District Com- missioners. Some of these trials last sev- eral days and the typewritten testimony fills scores and sometimes hundreds of Pages. Besides these duties the discipline of the force has to be looked after, as well as its needs, so that the jor is getting a much needed rest. Upon his return the work of completing the annual report will have to be done and this will take ‘some time and a considerable amount of hard work. Petty Thieving Has Decreased. Petty thieving has decreased to a con- siderable extent during the past week or two, although an occasional robbery 1s re- Ported. While the thieves are operating the police are doing the same thing and a number of cells in jail are now occupied by some of the light-fingered gentry. During the past week Policemen Jacob Heller and Octavius Hayhurst of the second precinct made a record in the line of arresting per- sons charged with theft and recovering the lunder. They have three cases of grand ireeny and four of petit larceny to their credit and more than $200 worth of the stolen property was recovered by them. Chickens and other fowls in flower gar- dens are causing some complaint to be made to the police, but there {s no law un- der which the violators can be prosecuted, although there is a section in the police Fegulations which provides a remedy. ‘The section provides that fowls shall not be ermitted to run at large in the cities of ‘ashington or Georgetown or in subdivi- sions outside the city limits and when found at large they may be imprisoned by the poundmaster. They may be redeemed upon payment of 50 cents for each fowl. us far the poundmaster has not been out on any chicken catching expeditions, but if the complaints continue to come in it Is likely that the service will be extended in that direction. Jumping on Street Cars. ‘There is a police regulation children jumping on and off street cars, or, as they term it, “catching on behind.” ‘The street car conductors have any amount of trouble with boys about this particular violation, and recently severul of the boys have been arrested. While the law pro- vides a ty of $% in case of children found offending against it, the same law provides a more severe penalty for parents or guardians who permit their children to indulge in the dangerous habit. There is one class of cases which the po- lice cannot regulate. It Is the case of drunks being picked up by drivers of pub- Me vehicles and being driven avou! town and then made to pay fare for several hours. During the present time, when the drivers are not busy, it is thelr delight to get such @ customer, and then 1: the morning, when the bill'is disputed, there is a law which gives the driver a right to use the police court and police force as collecting agencies, while a man who beats a merchant out of an honest bill cannot be touched. ‘A few nights ago at the Baltimore and Ohio depot, when scarcely a single driver fot a job off a western train, several of them stood on the sidewalk and discussed the situation, and the conversation ended in one of them remarking: “I wish some old drunk would come along now, so I could soak him.” Commending Officers for Bravery. The policy adopted by Major Moore some time ago, of commending officers for brav- ery and good work, has resulted in much cod to the force, for the officers know that their work will be appreciated and done x0 in a manner that the public as well as the officers will know of it. This week an order of this kind was issued which reads: On the 19th instant at 7 o'clock p.m. Pri- vates J. R. Harrover and George N. Nichol- son stopped a team of runaway horses, on Brightwood avenue, at the risk of their lives, recelving the applause and commend: flon of many citizens who witnessed the af- Ther coolness and unflinching perform- ance of duty on this occasion is deserving of special mention. ‘Many applications for leaves of absence to attend the fair have been made by the offi cers, and many of them succeeded in get- ting fifteen days. The applications came in Father fast, however, so that many of them have to be satisfied with ten days, in order to accommodate their brother officers. ‘There was an amusing case before the court a few days ago from the fifth pi cinct. Two tramps on thelr way out of the city on a freight train were actually taken off the train and charged with being likely to become chargeable to the District as Paupers, Vhere do you belong?” was the question asked one of them. Nowhere,” was his reply. “Where's your home?” The Judge naturally thought it would have been better had the policeman let him move along while he was moving and the man was sent out of town. Personal Notes, Chief Clerk Sylvester spent two days at Harper's Ferry this week. One day he spent on the river angling for bass and he landed six fine fish. Mr. J.
