Specialties in the shape of songs, dances, athletic sports and games are in- troduced, and serve to lighten the serious scenes of the melodrama, likewise to add to the attractiveness of the production. ‘The play has a well defined and decidedly interesting plot, well told by an excellent company. Tom O'Rourke's Specialty Company.—The attraction at the Lyceum next week will be Tom O’Rourke’s big speclalty company, which comprises a galaxy of American and European novelties and celebrities, among whom are Binns and Burns, musical art- ists; Byron and Evans, black-face come- dians; Ida_ Howell, serio-comic vocalist; Wis and Barron, the clever comedy duo; Yan and Lesley, sketch artists; the Patter- son Bros., on the horizontal bars; Murphy and McCoy, in Irish comedy; Mabel Guyer, the vital spark. and the Sisters Allene, ‘who will introduce for the first time in’ this city their novel gauze dance.

Ordway, commanding the District National Guard, authorizing Capt. Wilson of the War De- partment Guards to recruit a new company ‘and organize a battalion. The additional company will be composed of War Depart- ment employes and its formation is well uader way. A part of Capt. Wilson's com- mand, which formed the third seperate company and exceeded the limit of 100 men, has been transferred to the new organtza- tion. Gen. Ordway stated that as soon as the organization of the new battalion was com- pleted it would be made a part of the first Tegiment, to fill the vacancy caused by the recent transfer of the third battalion to the second regiment, where it is known as the fifth. An election of officers forthe new company and the battalion would be held 8 soon as the complement of men was obtained. —_—_—_ Saft Over a Patent. The Gene-a!

WHAT THE POLICE CosT. An Appropriation to Replenish the Nearly Exhausted Pension Fund. Major of Police Wm. G. Moore yesterday submitted to the Commissioners estimates of the appropriations necessary for the sup- port of the metropolitan police department for the fiscal year ending Jlne 30, 18%. The | total amount asked for, $569,753, is somewhat | in excess of the last appropriation. Major | Moore claims that in order to maintain the | force om a standard equal to that of the past an increase ts necessary. Following is | the manner in which it is proposed to ap- portion the amount: 1 major and superintendent. $3,300 1 captain. 1,800 who shall also be prop- ee oe 838 8 pol partments, at $i each....... Additional compensation for pI 240 privates, class one, at $900 285 privates, class two, 20 station keepers, at $720 each. 9 laborers, at $430 each. 1 laborer, in charge of 1 messenger. |1 messenger. 1 major and superint 1 captain, mounted. rs 43 lieutenants, sergeants and pri mounted, at $240 each. 1 van driver... 1 ambulance driver. 2 assistant ambulance ns, at $608 each. For rent of police headquarters and station at Anacostia. For fuel. For repairs to stations. For miscellaneous and contingent ex- | To continue In effect the pro an act of Congress relative to the police pension fund. 24.463 The last item, relating to police pension fund, is Major Moore's special hobby. In 1861 the original pension fund was created, into which all rewards, fines of officers, pen- alties and proceeds of the sale of abandoned Property were paid. This fund was held in trust by the police and Commissioners. In | 18% Congress passed the present pension fund act. directing that $1 per month be de- ducted from the salaries of all officers on | the force. The fund thus created flourished | for several years, and in 1888 It contained $31,000. This fund has gradually grown less, from the fact that the pensioners have largely increased. It now becomes neces- sary, In order to continue the fund, to look to Congress for an appro tion. ‘Major Moore has Hy estimated the amount which will likely be required, and will make strenuous efforts to secure an ap- propriation for the full sum. The Commis- sioners have indorsed the estimates. ee THE HOUSE RESTAURANT Row. The Defendants Tell an Entirely Dif- rent Story of the Affair. William Flannery and Martin Flannery, the young men who participated in the fight at the Capitol Monday afternoon, as published tn yesterday's Star, were at the Police Court today to answer the numer- ous charges preferred against them. The case was continued until Friday. The de- fendants tell a story entirely different from what was stated In court yesterday, and claim that when the case comes to trial they will be able to prove that they were assaulted by both Mr. Murray, who con- ducts the House restaurant, and Daniel O'Nelll, the Capitol policeman, who arrest- ed them before they used any violence whatever. According to their statements they had a drink in the place with Mr. Murray, who had said something about smoking not be- ing permitted in the rooms. They were not smoking when the remark was made. Just after that was said Mr. Murray treated them, but refused to drink with them afterward. Drinks were ordered after Mr. Murray had disappeared, and they were refused. They asked for the Proprietor, who could not be found, and one of them picked up a vinegar bottle, thinking that would bring the proprietor. The cashier called on a Watchman to ar- rest them, and Mr. Murray, w! about that time, they say, ape ran away. They demanded Murray's ar- rest, but the officer refused to arrest him. He arrested defendants, and detained them ‘m the Capitol guard house for fifteen min- tes, and then released them. en they got out the bullding they met Officer O'Neill, and took him to task about his refusal to arrest Murray. O'Neill or- dered them away, but as it was a public Place they refused to go. , William Fiannery made 'the remark that Mr. Murray was probably feeding O'Neill for nothing, whereupon he says O'Neill galled him e “— — ar,” and struck him, ‘Then it war that the fight took place, and all three of them recetved wounds, ‘The Flannerys say they will procure war- rants against O'Neill and Murray for al- leged assault. ON THE BENNING TRACK, It is Probable That There Will Be No Racing Next Month. Should racing continue at the Jersey tracks during next month, and there is hardly a doubt that it will, it is probabie that the Washington Jockey Club will abandon its race meeting next month, the management being of the opinion that it would be impossible to gather a sufficient number of horses here to fill out the various events. The local management learns, how- ever, that the racing season in New Jersey will close about November 20, in which case @ meeting would be commenced at the Ben- ning track at that time. It is said that Engeman of Brighton Beach .and Clifton will race at the Ivy City track Immediately after the Jersey season, regardless of the Intentions of the local club. Marriage Licenses.

House-to-House Inspection. ‘The Commissioners have recelved trom the health office the regular weekly report of the work of the house-to-house inspec- tors as complied from the reports by Mr. B. ¥. Peters, who has charge of the work. ‘The report shows: Number of squares inspected. Number of houses and premises in- spected .

The number of wells found in the county was 139, and the number of houses inspected outside the city limits 255. There was an increase in the total number of houses inspected over that of last week of forty-two, while there was a decrease in the number of nuisances found of eighty- three. A less number of houses and premises | fo be inspected were found than reported last week in the county, the reason for this being that as the extreme outskirts of the District are approached the number of houses grow less and the territory to be gone over greater. An important inspection of the Potomac Plats, lying between Glesboro’, Shepherd's Landing and the District line, bordering upon the Potomac river, will be commenced. and finished this week, weather permitting; report of which will be given in the compl- lation to be furnished for the week ending Saturday next. Forty-four thousand, nine hundred and ninety-six houses and premises have so far been inspected, in which there were found | residing 215,404 persons. It seems that the Previous estimate of 45,000 houses in the istrict is below the number that actually exists, as there are yet some seventy-four squares to be gone over, besides a consid- erable territory in the county. coe shan mem Another Anti-Trolley Argument. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I have learned by experience within a few days that it is considered dangerous to use the trolley during a thunderstorm. Friday evening the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home railroad suspended opera- tions entirely on account of the storm which visited the city at that time. Just before the storm commenced I rode up 5th Street on the horse car und received a transfer ticket from the conductor on that Une. After wasting about five minutes at the corner of 5th street and New York avenue one came down and went to 7th street just as the storm began in earnest. After waiting some time I took refuge un- der the awning on east side, or rear of the K street market house, where I remained until the rain had ceased, and then went to the corner again, and the car at 7th street not starting, walked to my home, nearly a mile from there, supposing the lightning had disabled some of the machin- ery at the power house. The next morn- ing I asked the conductor {f any dams had been done, and he said no, but we ci run in a storm. I sald: “But you didn’t run for nearly an hour after it stopped raining,” and he replied, “But the air was full of ‘electricity, and one time some ma- chinery was burned out which cost the company a thousand dollars.” This was a new experience to me, as I have only lately had to use this line of cars. Another thing I would like to call attention to, and that is, while the straight wire may not appear unsightly to some, they ought to notice the network of wires necessary to keep the trolley wire over the tracks wherever the track turns a corner. I hope you will not relax your efforts to defeat the plan to ex- tend the use of this aystem in this city. ANTI-TROLLEY. —_—__ ‘Anothe: for Fleas. To the Editor of The Evening Star: A much easier way to get rid of these pests in the Interior Department 1s to lay down on the floor a number of white woolen blankets, when in short order the fleas will leave the other parts of the room and seek refuge within the mesh of the blanket. Have ready pails of scaldin, water, take up the Blanket corners and dip into the pal the air and as soon as dry use again. 1 used to live in @ district greatly infested with the pests, and that was the way we got rid of the adroit little hoppers.
