Michael Washington, a gardener on the Blair road, last Wednesday filled a dog be- longing to a neighbor with two loads of shot, and yesterday morning Agent Payne ebarged him before Judge Taylor with cruelty to animals. Mr. Washington admitted “putting the, shot.” but claimed a right to do so because | the dog was trespassing upon his property. Judge Taylor thought that other means might more properly have been employed to rid himself of the animal, and decided that $2.50 a shot would be cheap enough. a Wednesday at River View.

A part of the roof was blown off the Potomac Boat Club’s house, the end of Lioyd’s blacksmith shop, corner 30th and K streets, knocked out, and the chimney of Mr. Payne's house on Water street sent to the ground. The roof of Mr. George W. Ray’s 3th street house was seriously in- jured, the addition to the Casilear flats on street near the canal demolished and other wrecks made. Scores of trees and a Doles were also felled by the wind. Winship’s derricks on the wharf suf- fered almost total destruction. Apiariats Suffer. Apiarists in the counties about George- town have lost considerably by the drought just broken. Not only has the honey crop been small, but what has been gathered has candied in the comb, thereby rendering it unfit for extraction. The honey men say about here, but throughout the whole coun- try. Candied honey being comparatively dry, it is not even good winter food for the bees, and it is likely they will suffer if tt is | a hard winter, unless the fall is favorable to the production. The largest apiaries in this vicinity are near Falls Church, Manas- sas and Sandy Springs. Peck Memortal. Rev. W. Alvin Smith of Peck Memorial Church, corner of 28th and M streets, who has been away for a couple of weeks on a well-earned vacation, 1s expected to return in time to conduct next Sunday's services. Mr. Smith is at present in Newark, N. J. Librarian Schaff of Peck has begun the ge- lection of $100 worth of new books for the men’s free reading room attached to the church. The money was the gift of Mr. John E. Beall. John’s Charch.

To Prevent Dumping. An officer is now dally stationed on the and P street bridges to prevent the further deposit of refuse matter. As these are the| only dumps in town the inconvenience | to excavators will be great. The stationing of the officer ts in pu suance of an order that was issued by the Commissioners last Friday. Flagman Needed. That a flagman is badly needed at the corner of #2d and M streets to prevent street car collisions was evidenced again yesterday. An electric car smashed into the grip of a cable train and injured the latter so much that it was found neces- sary to push it into the car house. 324 and M Streets is the only corner in Washington, it is said, where cable trains have the right of way over cars running north and south. Paragraphs. At 8:30 last evening No. 5 engine respond- 4 to a local alarm for an alleged fire in house No. 1033 334 street, occupied by Wm. Alexander Beall. The fire in that house, though, was only built for cooking. A smoky chimney instigated the turning in of the alarm.

Nor are the wages paid so miserly, compared with: those received by girls employed in stores or private ° or, worse yet, by the many who ply the needle in some iittle, close, dark room from § a. m. to 6 p. m. for $1 per day or less. How far ahead are the women who gre so fortunate as to be fed and clothed from the generous purse of Uncle Sam! Those who are not willing to work for 15 cents per hour should go where they could t more, and leave a vacancy to be filled some deserving, needy person, to whom such a position would be a God-send.

Ominous clouds were gathering over the camps when the slumbering soldiers were roused at revellle this morning. ‘The fierce rays of yesterday's sun were hid behind a thick canopy, and made the morning and the greater part of the afternoon very pleasant as compared with yesterday. The boys scattered about, some went fishing and hunting, while others visited the var- fous points of historic interest around and about Harper's Ferr} This evening at 7: a violent storm ac- companied by a blinding rain struck Camp Cecil Clay from the east, and the camp lies level with the ground. With the exception of two tents it is totally demolished. One is occupied by Private DePew, and the oth- er by Corporal Cook and Private Bab- cock. These brave boys are still holding on to their tents, though in the face of the tre- mendous wind and rain guttering the grounds almost knee-deep. Capt. Smoot is commanding camp today, Lieut. ‘Test, is of- ficer of the day, and Lieut. Estey is officer of the guard. The guard tent was the first to fall, followed by the hospital tent, the tents of Lieuts. Esty, Orth, Tesl, Atkisson, Russell, Surgeon Woodman, Capt. Smoot, and Capt. Salmon. Lieut. ‘Mess’ tent 1s Partially up, but the floor of this grim ruin is a channel over which a stream of water rushing down upon the postrate tents and drenched apparel of the unfor- tunate men below. ‘The creaking of the ropes and the groan- ing of the canvas seemed to utter defiance to the elements for a time, but the storm came up along the Potomac valley through the Blue Ridge Gap with such sudden force that in {ts irresistible path these brave lit- tle tents were as so many stacks of cards. In less time than it takes to tell it ali were drenched to the skin, and grabbing anything they could glean in the confusion and darkness they beat a precipitous re- treat to the hotel for shelter. No enemy, however stalwart, could have so completely demolished and put to rout a well organized military camp. At midnight the furious southeaster and inky darkness are the only guards over the falien tents, and the wind mournfully moans, ‘Twelve o'clock, and all 4s not well with Camp Cecil Clay, and gov- ernment property.” ‘On account of their more elevated post- tion, the officer's quarters received the brunt of the onset. It was impossible to maintain discipline, but the boys did well odds. Among in the face of tremendous those who deserve special mention for their conspicuous work in the storm are Corporal Wood, Private Costello, Private Graff, and Private Groom. Mr. and Mrs. Lightner, the proprietors of the Summit House, have kindly given up the chapel in the hotel for the occupancy of the homeless soldiers tonight. At this hour the chapel ts a novel sight, and one that would bring the briny moisture to the eyes of any veteran of the war. The light of a lonely lamp sheds its feeble glare on wet clothes scattered broadcast cver the floor; rubber and woolen blankets, cots, straw mats, helmets, caps, and arms are promiscuously confounded in heaps. The proprietors of this paraphernalia are just as fantastically arranged in sleep; some on the benches, some under the benches, some on the rostrum, some on the steps. Others have taken possession of the aisles, the chairs and the tables, and some are curled up on the window sills apparently well xat- isfied, if snoring is a sign of contentment. But while the storm is ruthless,the guests are very kind to us indeed. Many*of them “doubled up,” and some have trebled. Capt. Salmon is sharing Professor Fava’s bed tonight. The professor has distributed clothing to the weather-beaten boys, Capt. Smoot has lost his shoes in the shuffle. Quarter Master Sergt. Speer, Sergt. Pless, Corporal Dennett, and Corporal L. Dean Gray*took a trip to Antietam. They were caught in the storm. Lieut. Test head: ed a number of boys for John Brown's cave this morning. Capt. Smoot went fish- ing.

How a Crowd of Chicago Idle Men Was Dispersed. Four thousand unemployed men left the lake front at Chicago yesterday afternoon and turned their steps toward State street. ‘They were a disorganized mob, and made no attempt to parade, but their numbers impeded traffic in the already crowded street, and the police had to charge the crowd. At one moment it seemed as if one sec- tion of the mob had determined to loot the big store of Siegel, Cooper & Co. A mo- ment later the crowd was kicked and cuffed severely by the police, and the demonstra- tion ended in inglorious defeat. Cne hundred men had stepped in front of the entrance to the store of Siegel, Coo) & Co., clamoring and vociferating that they wanted bread. Women who were just com- ing out of the store rushed in again, ter- ritied at the any faces of the men. “We want bread! We want bread!” the men yelled. For a moment It seemed as if they Were going to dash into the store. Inspector Shea came running along wav- ing a little yellow cane. He recognized the danger of ailowing an excited mob to block the entrance, and he was prompt in action. If the foreigners had had a leader at that moment the store might have been wrecked. ‘They hesitated, and the police were npon ‘Now, men, get away from there,” thun- dered Inspector Shea. “Be reasonable and clear the way. We will not stand this.” Policemen in plain clothing and untformed rushed into the crowd. They grabbed the men by the coat collars and administered a series of vigorous kicks. Away fled the mob like frightened sheep before the heavy shoes of the policemen. No clubs were used. ‘The officers cuffed the men about the cars and turned the whole demonstration into @ ridiculous farce by the prompt action of their feet. Chief of Police Brennan still says that no more parades will be allowed, and that dis- orderly groups shall not assemble. About the time the State street demon- stration was in progress another and mcre serious riot was going on over on the west side. A mob of Poles and Hungarians gathered at Peoria street and Milwaukee avenue, and after listening to spee2hes made a break down Milwaukee avenue, looting all fruit stands, groceries, bakeries and butcher shops. The truck that the mob could not lug off was trampled under foot. ‘A platoon of police was soon upon the scene and a fight followed. Several rioters had their he cracked, and a few Parkes men were hurt, but not seriously. ly the bluecoats dispersed the mob. . AFTER THE GRIP. HOOD's CURES. HOOD'S CURES. HOODS CURES.
