But Just the Same Some One Strack Him. “I’m an officer,” shouted Policeman Henricks, as he rushed into a crowd of men, Women and children corner of 13 1-2 and D streets, in the “Division,” last night. There had been some trouble in one of the disreputable houses and a policeman’s whistle had been blown a number of times. Just as the officer reached the crowd and made known the fact that he was an officer, holding his badge in his hand, some one in the crowd deait him a blow on the side of his face.. “And,” said the officer to Judge Miller this morning, “it made me dizzy for five or six minutes.” Lawyer Eugene J. B. O'Neill was also im the crowd and he, too, was struck sev- eral times. “But it wasn’t my funeral,” said the lawyer to the judge, “and so I paid no at- tention to it.” A delicate looking little colored woman med Addie Patton was arrested as the person who made the officer dizzy for five minutes and she was tried for assault. “I was pushed through the crowd,” said the little woman, “and if I struck him it was an accident.” Judge Miller was of the oninion, as was the attorney. He could not understand how such a woman could so badly injure an able-bodied man. Addie was released. —_— TO SUE THE HOTEL. Mr. Collins Attributes His Son’ to Negligence. Mr. D. H. Collins of this city, father of Perry Colilns, who, with James Salmon,was asphyxiated by escaping gas in their room at the St. James Hotel, St. Louis, Novem- ber 10, is in St. Louis, having gone there for the purpose of bringing suit against the St. James Hotel, the management of which, he claims, is to blame for the condition of Death the defective gas fixture which brought | about his boy's death. The St. Louis Star-Sayings, speaking of Mr. Collins’ visit, says: Mr. Collins, on the occasion of his first visit to St. Louis, whither he was sum- moned by the terrible news of his boy’s death, expressed his determination of su- | on ac-| fng the hotel people for slander count of the aspersions thrown out regard- ing the habits of his son, who was said to have been under the influence of liquor on the night in question. Mr. Collins has how reconsidered his decision, sue instead for criminal negligence. The attention which the c: has ex- cited is sometning more than local. The question of the condition of the gas fix tures is not the only one involved. Medi- cal experts say that had the door been forced us late as 2 o'clock in the afternoon the young men could have been resusci- tated. Mr. Collins has the statements of Yeading hotel managers that it is an invio- lable rule wigh them to investigate cases where guests remain locked in their rooms certain length of time. These anagers assert that the leaving « an occupied room unexam ed for twenty- four hours should be an impossibility. Mr. Collins is in receipt of letters from all over the country, written by people who insist that the time for a vigorous cru- sade agains’ and clumsy gas tures in hotels. In Baltimore the health thorities have taken up the matter, have circulated notices in all hotels in- tended to put a check on deaths from es- eaping gas.

Flames Succeed Where Law Has Failed Time and Again Many Gam Smoke —The Fraternity Saved the Tools—The Loss, ing Holes Go Up Jackson City, or “Monte Carlo” as it was more familiarly known, a dingy little settle- ment at the south end of the Long bridge, where gamblers, pickpockets and law-break- ers generally gathered without fear. of the punishments provided by law, was destroy- jed by fire shortly before 12 o'clock last {night. The fire started in a frame building where men of the lower classes assembled every day, and soon the flames had gained | Such headway that the efforts of the night | Watchman, Arthur Smith, to extinguish |them were of no avail. This frame struc- | ture in which the flames started was own- ed by James Wells, but was unoccupied, except by the loafers, and they had been | ordered to keep from there. Little did they heed the order of the proprietor, however, and the place was known as the head- | quarters of the idlers and hangers-on who | managed to earn a nickel now and then to | give them an opportunity to play at a game | of “crap” or some other of the many gam- bling or thieving games which were oper- | ated in the numerous little shanties. A | Smell of coal oil during the burning of this place made it apparent that the building had been saturated and fired by some one, perhaps by one of the men who had been ordered to keep out of the place. Soon after the fire was started word was telephoned to the city with a request that the fire depart- ment be sent over to save some or the buildings from the wreck. Fire Department Goes. After the fire had been burning some time Chief Parris was notified and he ordered No. 4 engine company to the scene of the conflagration and the firemen succeeded in cooling the burned timbers after the build- ings had been destroyed. When the mem- mers of the fire department reached the Virginia side of the river the flames had spread all along the line of the houses on tae west side and the greatest excitement prevailed. Pei s from the adjacent coun- ury had been u.acted there by the brignt hight and to séme of them the sight was a gratifying one, while to others it was just tue opposite. Some of the latter either worked about the places or had received “ups” from the gamolers, and consequently they feared that their pockets woula prob- abiy suffer, Saving Gambling Tools. While the crowd stood there gazing upon the little village that was fast being re- duced to ashes some of those interested in the place risked their lives to save the gambling paraphernalia, which they suc- ceeded in rescuing and piling on the low ground across the railroad track. Three treight cars filled with baled hay and mill feed also caught fire and were destroyed. From the bu.ding where the tire originated the flames spread to the two-story building adjoining,which was used as a pool room,and from there they followed to the one-story shanty. The efforts of the crowd were di- rected toward the “Turf Exchange,” which belonged to Hill, Jones & Co.. but this build- ing shared the fate of the others. In the Stable of Charies Sanderson. the coal deal- er, which was near the water. were a doz- en horses, carts and wagons. and the ani- mals would have perished in the flames had mot the men in the crowd rushed in and turned them loose before the fire reached the building. The vehicles were also saved, but the building, together with a quantity of harness and hay, was destroyed. For a time it was feared that the bridge would also suffer from the flames. but the firemen reached there in time to prevent its de- struction had the flames reached that far. The Ruins, It is estimated that the damage amounted to fully $10,000, on which there appears to have been only $800 insurance. this policy being held by Mr. Wells on one of his build- ings. Until a short while ago there was an imsurance on the “Turf Exchange,” but the insurance company canceled its risk when there was a slight fire in the building. his morning on the road the gambling tables were piled out of the wav of passing teams and the place presented the appear ance of having been raided by the county officers. The flames did not destroy the policy shops, and it is likely that the policy men will do a flourishing business this week, when many persons will undoubtedly go over to view the ruins. ee Old-Time Schools, To the Editor of The Evening Star: The public school we have ever with us, to praise or to blame, but always to patron- ize. The more varied its exercises the greater opportunity for criticism. Probably somebody found fault with even a certain Connecticut school of eigh- teen hundred and—someteen, one of such as trained the Beechers, Bushnells, Fields and many another star of this century. ‘rhe voluble and bright-eyed, possibly sole, survivor of the above mentioned institution of learning, nearing her nineteenth year, was often besought by her grandchildren to favor their young friends with its gen- eral exercises. It is to be hoped that seventy years hence the tongues of our Washington pupils will be as ready with their information, gained today, as was that of this old lady with the senseless conglomeration of syllables that formed the mentai relaxation of that group of | children from four to twenty years of age. | “Spell that word,” came the command of its Yankee inventor, as school grew too | monotonous, and the shrill notes of chiid- | hood mingled with the softer tones of the maidens, the cracked voices of the growing lads and the deep bass of the farmer's oldest son taking his last winter of school. How unctuously it rolled around the low | school room as it came: “C-o Co—h-u hu, | Cohu—d-a da, Cohud: a ha, Cohudaha— d-a da, Cohudahada—p-e-n pen, Cohudaha- dapen—e, Cohudahadapene—d-e de, Conuda- hadapenede—b-r-a-s-8 brass, Cohudahada- penedebrass—b-r-a-s-s bra Cohudahada- pendebrassbrass—p-i pi, ass| e-n pen, Cohudahadapene- pipen—n-i-p nip,Cohudahadape- rasspipennip—n-a-p nap, Cohuda- hadapenedebrassbrasspipennipnap — s-n-1-p snip, Cohudahadapenedebrassbrasspipenntp- 2 s-n-a-p snap, Cohudahadapenede- brassbrasspipennipnapsnipsnap—b-e-n ben, | Cohudahadapenedebrassbrasspipennipnaps - nips n—d-a-r dar, Cohudahadapenede- brassbrasspipennipnapsnipsnapbendar—b-u- t idahadapenedebrassbrasspipenni- apbendarbus.

He played Salome’s First So- Mata, the march from Arine, Handel's Con- certo in D minor,Weber’s overture to Eury- anthe, Nessler's Festival March, Guil- mant’s Communion, dedicated to Prof. Carl, and several other selections.

An interesting argument was made before the Commissioners this morning by Mr. Simon Wolf in answer to the opinion ren- dered by Attorney Thomas as to whether a corporation is a person as contemplated in the law passed March 3, 1893, regulating the sale of liquor. Mr. Wolf held that in the celebrated case of Paul against state of Virginia, Judge Field held that a corpora- tion was not a citizen. He also cited the cases decided by Judge Story, and Kent's Commentaries in the same line. He claimed broadly that the attorney for the District had not answered any of the questions asked in his brief and requested to have the papers re-referred, with the further re- quest that he answer as to the right of the Commissioners to allow the withdrawal of a@ name to an application after the same had been presented. Section 3 of the li- cense law made it compulsory to present with the application the necessary number of signatures, which in this instance had been complied with, and a paper once filed with the Commissioners could no more be withdrawn than a paper filed in court. The Commissioners said they would discuss the matter and if not agreeing with Mr. Wolf would send the papers to their attorney, —— SHOT A BOY. But the Gatekeeper Claims That It Was an Accident, Joseph 8. Spaight, an elderly man, who is. employed as gatekeeper at the South Capitol street crossing of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad, used his pistol last night for the purpose of frightening off a crowd of boys who had annoyed him. But the bullet was not buried in the ground, as the old man had intended it should be. Instead of going where he intended to send it, the piece of lead entered the right breast of Albert Lee, a sixteen-year-old boy, who lives at 006 4 1-2 street southwest, and in- flicted a painful and perhaps serious wound, The patient was removed to Prov- idence Hospital, where Dr. Bayne probed for the ball, but failed to find it. Spaight, who is sixty years old, was arrested by Policeman Smith and held on a charge of assault. The scene of the shooting is an important crossing and the entire atten- tion of the gatekeeper is required to pro- tect drivers and pedestrians from injury by passing trains. He complains that the | Place has been made a play ground by al crowd of boys from 4 1-2 street, who have | annoyed and seriously interfered with his duties. Last night he fired the shot, he} says, to frighten off the boys, and he thinks the bullet struck a stone and glanc- ed in the direction of the boys. One of the boys told a Star reporter that the police would not let them play on 4 1-2 street and they went over near the railroad, where they thought they would not interfere with any one and where the police would not | interfere with them. The case could not be heard today be- cause of the boy's condition. was His Identity Established. Jas.
