George Chandler, a twenty-seven-year-old Resident of Georgetown, was introduced to Judge Miller yesterday, and was so warm- ly received that it will take him several months at least to forget the memorable event. George is fond of liquor, but is op- Posed to the performance of manual labor. mother has supported him until she has become weary, and being no longer able to stand his abuse she determined to Jet the law handle him. Their meeting last night was not a pleasant one, and when he had threatened his mother's life ‘the latter sent her husband, Mr. Bruff, the Young man’s stepfather, out for an officer. So tired had his mother become of nis conduct that she said to him: “Kill me if you want. I'm tired of living in all this But he didnt kill her. A policeman Teached the house and George was taken away and locked up. Threats and carry- ing a pistol were the charges against him this morning, and Judge Miller the seriousness of the affair required a bond of $50) to keep the peace, in default ef which Chandler went down for six Months. For carrying the pistol he was Biven ninety days. a eck by a Car. About 8 o'clock last night John Davis, a white laborer, was truck by a Brightwood electric car on Brightwood avenue near the Schuetzen Park and badly hurt aout the head.

An Interesting Report on the Past and the Future. | Improvem Needed at a Popular Spot—Mr. Stevens’ PI and Sug- Sextions—Congress Called On. Late yesterday afterncon Superintendent Stevens of the free bathing beach submit- ted to the Commissioners his annual report of the operations of the beach for the sum- | mer of 18. The report ts interesting and is as follows: “The books of registry opened June 4 and closed September 30 show the names of 26,537 bathers. There has not been a life lost, no one hurt and no one arrested. Col- ored bathers have been less than one per cent of the whole, and more than one-half of the houses at the color end of the beach were never yet occupied. Among the white bathers have been a good many ladies, every one of whom came again and some quite often, all surprised and enthusiastic over the discovery that Washington ha: @ good bathing beach, and that it is kept orderly and respectable, while being free to every comer. “There has been no appropriation for the beach for three years, and for want of care during the eight idle months of each year the whole property is wasting away. The storm in August practically destroyed the south wharf. The flerce dashing of the waves at high tide tore away the whole midway portion and so lifted the remaining portions that it fs a wreck. You authorized me to repair the damages of last winter to wharves and houses and to run the beach this season free to all who bring their own suits for six days in each week, at my own risk and without cost to the District of Columbia, and permitted me to look. to ‘public donations, the rental of bath- ing suits and the receipts of Thursdays for remuneration. As a test of public feeling, whether favorable or unfavorable to the beach, small contributions only were asked for, and yet the amount required for re- pairs, according to my estimate, was re- ceived on a partial canvass of the city. Only one man was found who opposed the beach. He was asked to come and see it in operation. He has often done so and is now an enthustastic convert. I was disap- pointed in my estimate of pay day receipts. At first about 10 per cent came on that day, but they gradually fell off to nothing, and the whole season will not average over rented suits. On the whole I have not lost money, but the pay for services does not invite very lively competition for my office. Improvements Needed. “As yet the beach is able to accommodate only a very small pertion of the resideats and visitors of Washington who wish to bathe. We have been obliged to put from three to six in each room only three by five feet, at crowded times, and this has entire- ly prevented a very large portion of the bet- ter class from using the beach at all. Few people of any refinement like to disrobe el- bow to elbow with a stranger. The rush comes after business hours in the after- noon, and at that time the beach has al- ready become one of the most attractive in- stitutions in the ao beach an = always crowded for ling room, and the age way ie frequently so blockaded that pleasure drivers must alight far away and mingle with the crowd on foot to see the sport. All this should be changed. The beach has proven itself to be a popular favorite, and its facilities should be in- creased tenfold. “There ought to be before next bathing season 4) more rooms, a larger office, more wharves, more springboards, more bathing room always breast deep, more carriage ‘space, and seats for a thousand spectators. All this can be obtained in only one way, and that is by the tide-locked pool or lake lan which I have before recommended. e dam should be thirty feet wide on top, making a boulevard whereon carriages may drive or stop for the occupants to watch the antics of bathers on one side or on the other to enjoy the glories of the declining sun as it gilds the masts and towers on the horizon of Georgetown, shedding a dreamy haze on the bold heights of historic Arling- ton, and melting away in distance o'er the far off hills of Fairfax. The grounds at the beach are how a rough common; they should be beautified in harmonious keep- ing with the view here disclosed to lovers of nature. The only approach to the far- famed Potomac should be made worthy of its place at the nation’s capital. The people have had a taste this summer, especially in the successful tournament of two days at the beach, of what might be fully en- joyed by thousands every sommer if this bathing place is made into the great safe amphitheater proposed. If it is left open as now to the rise and fall of the tide no amount of expenditure can ever make it either safe or convenient at all tides and the wharves will be destroyed again by ice in the winter and by storms in summer. Other Cities. “Another advantage of the tide-locked lake will be its perfect safety as a skating place, and ice will be serviceable on it longer. More than a hundred mothers have personally plead with me to push this pro- ject before Congress, asking permission to vse money enough to complete it. Some time ago I wrote to the mayors of a num- ber of cities, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston, for information, and their replies show that those cities have free or nearly free public bathing places, either one cost- ing a great deal more than [ ask for Washington, and not one of them having one-tenth part of the facilities that I pro- pose. They all have mere floating boxes from which spectators are excluded. Here we have the fathers and mothers and friends spectators, insuring propriety and add- ing a hundred fold to the enjoyment of the bathers. His Plan. “This has been proven every day the past summer. It has been often sug- gested that four or five thousand dollars should be appropriated annually to im- prove and maintain the present beach, but I think there should be a radical change in the direction before suggested, and if Con- gress will make immediately available twenty thousand dollars, the amount that it is suggested to spend for five years’ re- pairs and keeping, I will undertake to make that change in full according to the late plan proposed, the new two-story office, the four hundred new rooms, the seats, wharves, grand stand, and all in good style to the satisfaction of the Commissioners, and I will run {t for the five years to pub- Me satisfaction without further cost to the District and almost free to all, as follows: | Bathers under fifteen years, with their own suits, free; over fifteen years, five cents an hour, or ten cents, unlimited. Neat suits for rent, 15 to 25 cents. Seats for spectators generally free, but for people who wish to be more exclusive 10 cents admission to the grand stand. Admission at a tournament, 5 cents to all over six years and % cents admission to the grand stand. A tournament not to occupy over three hours, the rest of the day free as usual. A smali charge for personal care of bathers and for teaching swimming to those who wish it. Five cents | the lake in winter. I would keep the prem- ises in repair, and deliver them over in sood order at theend of the five years, ex- cepting damage by fire, wind or freshet. ‘and would furnish all the housekeepers and at- tendants necessary to accommodate the public excepting police officers. At that | time I hink the establishment would get | | to be self sustaining, and when the govern- | ment sea wall is completed around the tidal |reservotr our dam will protect the whole [premises from freshet. Herewith I offer | drawings in detail of the plan proposed with | two exceptions. First. the natatorium for neake? swimmer because I don't think the $20,000 called for | would complete all the rest in good style and |make that in the substantial manner neces- | sary to stand the tides, ice and storms out- side of the dam. Since drawing this design I have a floating natatorium in New York, and at the rate paid for theirs ours would cost nearly the $20.00 which has been estimated for the whole project, while I had not set it at one-tenth of that amount. Second, instead of flooring the walks and spaces between houses I recom- mend neatly concreting the whole ground at a gentle slant to carry off water then buii washing out and keeping Sweet. T cannot properly close this report without calling your attention to the fact | that all of the daily papers of the city are erable to the beach, and they have rendered me every possible assistance in making it a success. My hearty thanks are due to the press for its co-operation in this enterprise. In conclusion I ask you to recommend to Congress the passage of @ bill appropriating the sum of $20,000 to be expended under your direction to improve the bathing beach substantially on the plan suggested.” the premises Small Fire, A fire In S.

Ainsworth, Dant, Covert and Sasse, yes- terday afternoon closed the arguments on the demurrer filed against the indictments in the Ford Theater case, and Judge Mc- Comas announced that he would take the case under advisement and render his de- cision as to. the sufficiency of the indivt- ments at the very earliest day practicable After The Star's report of the case closed yesterday afternoon Mr, Perry addressed himself more particularly to a discussion of the authorities quoted on both sides in the case. The indictments, gaid Mr. Perry, depended absolutely upon the averment of duty on the part of the defendants. There was no such duty, he claimed, alleged in either indictment, except by implication or |{ntendment, and that fault was a fatal one, |Tequiring the court to quash the indict: jments. In fact, remarked Mr. Perry, the defendants were not charged with a’ spe- sifle duty, nor were they charged with a |eriminal omission. Therefore, he urged, no crime was alleged and they were not yet called upon to answer any. In concluding his argument Mr. ‘paid Mr. Hugh T. Taggart, who drew the indictments, a very high compliment and intimated that had he not been put to | undue haste in their preparation the plead- er’s recognized abilities would have pro- ducted an indictment which could not have been objected to. But undue haste on the part of the prosecution had produced two indictments which were bad from begin- ning to end, and simple justice both to the defendahts and to the government re- quired that the court should sustain the defendant's objections to them and in that | Way compel Prosecution to draw an 11 |dictment which would in a clear and un- mistakable manner disclose to the defend- ants that with which they were charged. | Having thanked the court for the great patience with which the case had been heard, Mr. Perry submitted the case and Judge McComas stated that the court was also under obligations to counsel on both ides for the very thorough and able man- | ner in which the ,- pea | arguments had been pre —_——_.
