Both Were Sentenced. Last night John T. Crisman and his wife, Liasie, were drunk and making things lively ‘in the neighborhood of ith and M streets southeast. Officer James Cissell and his partner. in citizens’ clothes, attempted | to quiet them, when the man and wife re- plied im_ very profane and indecent lan- guage. Showing his badge, Oilicer Cissell attempted to place them under arrest. when Crisman turned upon him with a knife and stabbed him through the left hand. Crisman siated that he and his wife were on the way home when the officers ac- costed them. He thought the oiflcers were thieves, and when they showed their badges refused to surrender until police- men tn uniform arrived. “Judge, sir.” explained the woman, “I'm @ nurse, and am known by all the thor- oughbred people and doctors of tne city. 1 never used profane language in my life, sir, and last night we were on our way home when the officers stopped us.” Judge Kimball fined the man and woman $10 each for being profane and sentenced the man to six months in jail for cutting the officer. ~ een Did Not Constitute Vagrancy. “If.” remarked Judge Kimball this morn- ing, when a young colored man and woman were charged with vagrancy, “we sent to the workhouse all those living in adultery in this District, we would have to erect at least forty additional workhouses to hold them. While adultery is as bad as bad can be, still it, of itself, cannot sustain a charge of vagrancy.” . ‘The occasion of the’ court's remarks was the testimony of the officers that the couple, Mary Smith and Charles Kiggs, were living together in an unmarried stete. ‘The testimony further tended to show that the woman's reputation was that of a thief and prostitute. Judge Kimball thought | that however wrong the relations of the gouple might be, they did not constitute vagrancy, and discharged the couple. > The Freedman’s Hospital. On the 23th instant the Secretary of the Interior calied upon the Attorney General for an opinion respecting the relations of the secretary to the Freedman’s Hospital and Asylum since the passage of the act | of March 3, 1899, which contains the follow- ing: “And hereafter the expenditures for the Freedman’s Hospital and Asylum shall be under the supervision and control of the Commissioners of the District of Co- Jumbia.~ ‘The Attorney General has rendered tae following opinion: “In my judgment the opinion of the attorney for the District of Columbia contains a correct statement of the law. With the exception that the Com- missioners of the District are given the Supervision and control of the hospital and asylum the power and duties of the Secre- tary of the Interior are unchanged by the act Im question and remain the same as before its enactment.” This means that power of appointment and investigation remains in the Secretary of the Interior. e¢ Did Not Swear. Margaret Robinson, a tall, attired colored dried-up colored woman named Sarah Al- Jen, with profanity in the Police Court yes- terday and explained that the profanity rose when she requeste? Sarah to keep chickens off her premises. ‘What have you to say, Sarah?” inquired court. “I is got dis to say. jedge, yer honor, an’ I calls de good Lawd to b'ar me witness, dat JZ ts no mo” guilty den you is, jedge.”” “Did you swear at this woman?" “Sw'ar, yer honor?

Canal Cargoen U; The Linthicw to the Standara— Students Discuss American Poets — Notes. Judge Josiah Dent, ex-District Commis- sioner, ex-president of the board of trustees of Linthicum Institute, a gentleman sev- enty-six years of age, and for a iong time @ widower, was married yesterday in Cum- berland, Md, to a lady named Miss De Cormis. It has been known for some time, even before the ex-commissioner left town and took up his residence at Berkeley Springs, W. Va. that he was not fancy free, but no one dreamed that he contem- plated marriage. A dozen years ago, it is said, Mr. Dent first met his bride at Rock Enron Springs, where he was visiting. Even that far back it can be remembered that the couple appeared fond of each other's society. The bride is an Episcopalian, and is said to have a brother who is a :ninister of that faith. Mr. Dent has kept his acquaintances in Georgetown and even his son, Mr. Edward i. Dent, so completely in ignorance of his doings of the past year or more that little could be learned of the particulars of the surprising event. Of the bride, though, it is said she is about forty or Sfty-five sears of age and of pleasing appearance. Her con- versational powers are exceilent. Mr. and Mrs. Dent will probably reside in future at Berkeiey Springs. Mr. Dent formerly resided in Georgetown at the beautiful suburban place called “The Oaks” at the head of dist street, now own- ed by Mr. Blount. Poets Discussed. Bret Harte, James Whitcomb Riley and T. Buchannan Read were the principal poets whose beautiful thoughts last night furnished topics of discussion for the or- ganization known as the Linthicum Stu- dents. The selection from Riiey was his watermelon sketch, entitled “Kentucky Philosophy,” Mr. R. C. Balinger rendering it. Bret Harte's mining story, “Jim,” was the next on the prograin, and then Buchannan Read's “Closing Scene.” “Jenny end I’ and “Unaware,” pretty thoughts of Frank L. Stanton and of an anoymous writer, were spoken by J. Bar- ton Miller. W. B. Sebastian and James A. Keleher also assisted in makiug the even- ing an interesting one. Permanent offiers of the organization to serve for one year were then elected, as follows: R. C. Fal- Inger, stage manzrer; Robert F. Lowe, as- sistant stage manager; J. ‘arton Miller, secretary, and Nathan Wei'l, treasurer. The constitution submitted by the commit- tee appointed at the last meeting was ac- cepted. An appreciative incident of last night's meeting was the presentation to the students by an outsider, who has taken much interest in the institute, cf a very handsomely bound zppropriately lettered book containing press notices of the stu- dents’ movements during the past three years. Canal Cargoes Up to the Standard. For the first time in maay weeks canal cargoes were yesterday up to ihe standard, even above, some boats discharging as high as 12) tons of Cumbertand’s chief pro- duct. There is now all the water in the 184 mile trench that the boatmen could possibly de- sire, the rain having increased its depth over two feet.

Today the First Shipment of Fall Bivalves Was Received. Notwithstanding the fact that today has been sullen and rainy it is the brightest of the year for many people in this city. They have watched the calendar carefully and they know that this is the first day of the “R months,” the day that marks the open- ing of the oyster season. They know that the time has come when they can with en- Joyment revel in the destruction of their favorite seafood. Even the fact that this is the long ex- pected day does not give anyone the right to call them “luscious bivalves.” ‘That term was outlawed years ago and in this Columbian year some new phrase must be resorted to. Still, tor most people the oys- ter is like the rose; it makes little or no difference what it is called, it is all right. It has {ts admirers in all the forms in which it can make {ts appearance upon the table, and it is just as attractive to many when taken off the shell as it comes off the oys- ter boat onto the wharf. The dealers here in town have been serv- ing oysters for some time past, but these were of the summer brand and lack the firmness and delicacy that come with cooler weather. One shipment of fall oysters was received this morning by one of the prin- cipal dealers in this city. They came from down the bay and were @ day or two ahead of the usual time. For the most part they have been coming from New York and Nor- folk, but from now on the Chesapeake oys- ters will have the call in popular favor. And the best part of it all is that the qual- ity of the oysters this year promises to be unusuajly fine. ‘The oysters received so far have been way ahead of those generally re- ceived so early in the season, and the crop promises to be as far ahead of the average in point of numbers. Reports received in this city from all the beds have shown that never before were the prospects any better. Local oystermen who have their own pri- vate beds down the bay told a Star re- porter this morning that they had heard most encouraging stories from them. Prac- tically the same story comes from all the beds along the Connecticut shores as well as in Chesapeake Bay; oysters this coming winter will be plenty and they will be good, a Drew = Large Crow.

Several men lost their po- sitions on the grip-cars, and the strike was averted. It is also to be noticed that now the streets are called as they are crossed, and the cars stop long enough for passen- gers to get on and off in safety. As the story goes, President Dunlop, at- ter he took charge of the road, made up his mind that the rules which’ had been adopted by the directors when the road was begun should be more rigidly obeyed | than they had been. In this h2 was not altogether successful, and reveral weeks ago he tssued a circular to the superintend- ent to be posted up at each end of the line, calling the attention of the men to the rules. ‘They -did not like this ver said, and for a time were rather lax in call- ing ‘off streets and pins a suffleient length of time. One day while riding home on a grip car President Dunlop noticed that the gripman was derelic: in these matters, and the next morning coming down to the power house, he observed the same state of affairs. Both men were sum- moned to headquarters, and had a rather unpleasant quarter of an tuur. Later tw gripmen started to work to organize a labor union among the men, and consu- tuted themselves walking de'egates, trying, it is stated, to work up a strike Both im lost their positions with the road, am! tha strike failed to be a subject of interest. It 4s said that there were no new rules riade, but simply it was ordered that the rules already In effect should be more rigidly obeyed. There is already an organization ot the men on the road. It is a sort of beneficial society, and has now about 34,- 0 invested at 6 per cent on real estate. This the officials of the road think is ail the organization that ts necessury, \and they are likely to discourage any ‘union that would foment strikes among the men. es ALEXANDRIA, much, it is The Proapect of Improvement It has been stated in The Star that when the city council will assemble after the re- cess the corporation attorney will report whether in his opinion the decision of the court of appeals in the Chamberlin case allows special taxes on real estate adjoin- ing street improvements. The present city charter declares “that whenever any street shall be laid out or extended or any exist- ing graded, paved or repaved, or culvert or sewer built, or curb stone put down, two- thirds of the expense shall be paid by the owners of the real estate benefited thereby. Whenever any sidewalk shall be laid the whole expense thereof shall be paid by the owners of the real estate benefited there- by.” It was contended some time since this clause did not differ in effect from the old 33d section of the charter, which de- clarea that “the clty council’ shall have power to specially tax a lot adjoing a street on which paving is done or curb stone put down (whether on the sidewalk or carriage way) not exceeding two-thirds of the expense of the curb stone or pavin on that half of the street opposite such lot. ‘The question to be reported upon is wheth- er the Chamberlin decisicn does not take it for granted that all street improvements are for the public benefit, and must be paid out of taxes assessed equally on all the subjects of public taxation. More Fiends Around. Mrs. Chas. Herbert, residing on Queen street between Washington and St. Asaph streets, was last night attacked In her back yard by two white tramps. Her hus- band was absent and she had occasion to step out to her back door, when two tramps came up and asked for food. When she replied she had none to give them one of them said, “Then we will take something else,” and’ selzed her, one of them placing his hand over her mouth and both of them throwing her to the ground. The hand slipped from her mouth and ‘she gave a vigorous scream, which brought some of the neighbors, but the tramps had escaped. Police and other citizens searched for them during the night, and, if they had been caught, a taste of Alexandria lynch law would have been given them by an infuri- ated crowd. A New Athletic Club. At a meeting held Wednesday night last an association to be known as the Alexandria Athletic Association was or- ganized with twenty-five charter members. ‘The following officers were elected: L. N. Gillis, president; J. M. Deeton, vice presi- dent; 8. P. Fisher, secretary; W.H. Charles, treasurer. The association will have rooms at the Braddock House and expect, in the near future, to have a foot bail team to meet ail comers.
