POLICE COURT -ARRAY The Usual Run of Cases Before Judges Today. Drank and Disorderly the Common Charges—Gone on a Nacatlion— Some of the Casen, Many of the persons who are in the habit of getting arrested at~ regular intervals must have gone on an excursion last night, for the Police Court business today fell off more than a hundred: per cent, as com- pared with what it has been during recent days, and the result was that Judge Miller got through in time to return to Takoma and enjoy the day in the county and es- cape the hot weather in the ctty! In the District court there were fifteen prisoners, and among them there was not a single weary commdnwealet. The desertion ot Coxey and his son and the advice given those in camp will prob- ably have the effect of increasing the court's business during the next few days. Prosecuting Attorney Pugh was in court to look after the District's end of the cases, and he first presented a victim of strong drink named Michael Garve; “He is an old soak,” was the w Mr. Pugh introduced him to the court, nd 1 hope your honor will settle him for awhile this time.” 5 “This man is a confirmed drunkard,” said Policeman Parham. He was. released from the workhouse Sunday, and the next day he was found beastly intoxieated and locked up. Last night I found him in the same condition sleeping om the grass. In addition to being a drunkard he's a con- firmed beggar, and in this way he gets his liquor.” “I had a job of work to go to this morn- ing,” said Garvey, who did not care to dis- cuss his intemperate habits. “Sixty days.” Policeman Sanford has had complaints of a man being on ith street southwest and grabbing at females. His conduct has been complained of a number of times, so that the officer was on the lookout for the man who was being talked of as “Jack the Grabber.” Whether Dennis Burns had been grabbing at the women or not the officer is int ignor- ance, but he was caught yesterday in the act of grabbing a colored woman, and was arrested. “I was on my way home at the time,” the woman told Judge Miller, “and he winked at me. Then he came over and grabbed me.” “I might have brushed against her un- intentionally,” said the prisoner, who is a tailor at the arsenal. “You will have to pay a fine of $10," said the court, and the tailor sent to the arsengl for his money. George Cole was introduced by Mr. Pugh as a citizen of South Washington, whose mind is affected in a manner that renders him almost irresponsible. Policeman Henry told the court what he knew of the old colored man. “Some time ago,” he said, “a horse was taken from the flats, and I found that Cole had taken it. He found the horse grazing c= the flats, and he supposed he had a right 0 it” The officer explained that the old man had been about the police station, and had used threatening language because he could not get the horse. He said in answer to the court's inquiries that he knew of no one who would look after the old man. Under the circumstances the court said the man would fare better on the farm than about the streets, and sent him down. Had a Check. Victor Ellsworth lives in Alexandria, and yesterday he came over here to get a check, but a check was put on his movements by the liquor he had drunk. = » “And when I found him on K street,” said Officer Parham, “he had made his bed on the sidewalk. His trousers were badly tern and a crowd of boys had been follow- ing him.” “Have you ever been arrested before?” the judge asked him. 0, sir,” was his answer. “Has he been locked up all night?” “Yes, your honor.” “Then,” said the judge to the prisoner, | “you may go home.” Tom Dennis, a young negro, was unable to tell just where he lived. “My home is in Staunton,” he-first said, “but I came here five months a ‘My sister.” a4 “On what street-doesshe live?” “I don’t know. She lives in Alexandria.” “On what streett’* a “She don’t live on no street, ‘cause she lives out near Four-mile Run.” In one weath the boy said he had been in the habit of coming here in a wagon, and in the next he said-he had been coming on the train. “What train?” the judge asked him. “Passenger train, of course.” ‘Tom was arrested at 7th and R streets last night, where he had asked an Italian to let him stay at his peanut stand all night, and because the latter refused there came near being a fight. Judge Miller thought that Tom was a suspicious person and sent him down tn default of security. Next in line was a respectably dressed young nian, whose name was given as jeorge Wertz. ofreenad been arrested on a railroad train on his way out of the city. “I came here two days ago from Phila- delphia,” he said, “and locked for work, but was unable to find any. Last night I was afraid to sleep in the park, because I thought I'd get arrested, and so I got on the moving train, thinking I might find a place at the navy yard or some other place.” He was discharged. 2 Laura Sullivan, a bushy-haired negro girl from the “Division,” was arraigned for loud talking and profanity in a house and she plead guilty. “How old is this girl?’ Judge Miller asked. “About twenty-three years, I think,” re- man Williams. “She's little, but caused considerable trouble in a disreputable house. “Ten dollars or thirty da; court. * said the Other Cases.

The last act ir the comedy of the common- weal of Christ, so laughable at first, and so pitifully pathetic as the play went on, was given out near Highlands yesterday when the star of the performing company made his final bow and took leave of the othe> members of the cast. It was a great blow for the walking gentleman, the heavy vil- lain and the supernumerary soidiers, who imagined that they saw an indefinite en- gagement for them in the vicinity of Washington, and they were loud in their denunciation of what they regarded as cruel heartlessness. When Browne and Coxey and the rest of the so-called leaders of the commonweal began to show a tendency, several weeks ago, to make junkets over the country, the more sensible members of the misguided legion discerned in these trips a growing desire on the part of those who made them to discontinue altogether their connection with the movement. When Browne, with sixty of his loyal friends, went off on that alleged crusade to Wall street, many of the Coxeyites packed up their few belongings and tremped over to Frye’s camp in Virginia. Those who remained at High- lands, howev while they might have doubted Browne, had firm faith in Coxey'’s loyalty, so their consternation may be easily imagined when the worthy Coxey appeared before them yesterday and told them that he could do nothing more for them, and that his affairs at Massillon would require his attention for the next few months.. He said people all ove: the country had promis- ed to help the cause, but had failed to do so, and that the outlook was very dis- couraging. Then he advised the men whom he had led astray to go into Washington and beg, so that they would be arrested and supported at the expense of the community. Coxey then left the camp in the afternoon, and left for Ohio, where Jesse Coxey had also gore. It is probable that the common- weal camp at Highlands will break up com- pletely within a few days. The Chicago contingent of Ccl. Elliot disbanded this morning, and each man started on a hustle for himself. It is their plan to scatter threugh the country until the Ist of Sep- tember, and then come together at some point near Washington and proceed to make another march cn the Capitol. McKee, who is now in charge of the High- lands camp, has no faith in its future. He was very angry about the action of Justice Carr, who yesterday sent four members of the commonweal who we-e found sleeping in a Baltimore and Ohio box car near Hy- attsville to the house of correction. McKee said that it was evident, from the action of the justice, that the people of Maryland wanted to drive commonwealers out of the state, and the residents in the vicinity of the camp say that McKee never said a truer thing in his life. Over at Rosslyn the muster roll of the so-called industrials passed the 1,000 mark y reason of the arrival of about 100 weary kers belonging to various contingents tkat have been formed from time to time by discontented men in the west. The recep- tion accorded the newcomers was not of a fatted calf variety, as the commissary de- partment was complaining of its usual vacuum. In the evening a new mode of gov- ¥ adopted at the camp, and nn.’ Frye comes back he will iind that the principles of communism have re- placed the old order of centralized power. ‘The men held an election last night and selected an ad ry council consisting of one man from each contingent in camp, The duties of this body will be to select each day one of their own number to take charge of the encampment as offices of the day, and they believe this plan will work much more satisfactorily to the men. Galvin said last night that his cohorts and himself had come to stay as leng as they can ward off star- vation, and that he believes that Congress could not much longer postpone doing some- thing for them. a Long > — The Pay of Firemen, Yo the Editor of The Evening Star: Not wishing to disparage the 004 work so early and ably championed by The Star to raise contributions for the sorely stricken families whose providers have been so ruth- lessly torn from them, would it not be bet- ter to ask, by petition or otherwise to the proper authorities, that the salaries of our brave firemen be raised to such cdequate Proportions as to allow and enable them to take care, independent of popular subscrip- tion,of the families and loved ones depend- ent upon them, and who in a very short time will disappear from the public mind. I for one say give these noble men wages enough to provide for the dark days which their dependent families will pass through as a result of fidelity to duty by the belov- ed husbands, fathers and brothers. THOMAS J. DC INOVAN. Insure the Fire: To the Editor of The Evening Star: I would respectfully suggest, Jn, view.of the object lesson we have very :zecently had, that, inasmuch as we expect firemen to risk their lives in saving our property and often the lives of our families, we ought not, in case their lives are sacrificed, to place their families in a position of de- pendence on charity. I would suggest, therefore, that it is no more than right in justice and humanity for the District gov- ernment to keep insurance of at least $1,000 on the life of each and every fireman for the benefit of his family in case of death while in the discharge of his duty.

According to the Prospectus It Will Be a Big Success in é Every Way. While sufficient time has not elapsed since the incorporation of the Baltimore centennial exposition for the scope of the enterprise to be fully completed, the com- mittees having the arrangements for the celebration in charge are working with great industry, and preparations so far made indicate that it will be on an elabo- rate and magnificent scale. The object of the exposition is to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the incorporation of Baltimore as a city, and it will be held in 1897, opening May 15 and closing on the same day in November. The terms upon which the centennial as- sociation was made a corporate body are extremely liberal and allow the incorpora- tors to maintain hotels, restaurants, amuse- ments or any species of entertainments which may be deemed proper by the, board of directors, as well as to operate railroads and electric plants. ‘The officers and incor~ porators comprise the leading citizens of the monumental city, with Lloyd L. Jack- son, president; Daniel C. Gilman, Alexan- der Brown, C. Morton Stewart and John E. Hurst, vice presidents; George C. Wedder- burn, secretary; Robert C. Davidson, treas- urer; Edwin Harvie-Smith, solicitor, and Fred Brackett, acting general manager. In all the eastern cities contiguous to Baltimore committees of citizens have been formed to co-operate in making the expo- sition a success by interesting the manu- facturers, merchants and business men gen- erally of their respective communities in the project, and the committee for Wash- ington is composed of Brainard H. Warner, John Joy Edscn, Beriah Wilkins, James G. Rerrett, Theodore W. Noyes, Lawrence ‘Gardner, John B, Wight, Col. Alexander D, Anderson, S. W. Woodward, Congressman Conn, Scott Towers, Gardiner G. Hubbard, Cc. J. Bell and C. C, Glover. Some Pleasant Estimates. An interesting pamphlet has just been issued from the headquarters of the asso- ciation, No. 101 West Saratoga street, Bal- timore, embracing a detailed statemen’ showing the proposed buildings and con- struction, the general and operating ex- penses and the chances for the success of the enterprise. The construction expenses are estimated to amount to $2,369,700, in- cluding the manufacturers and liberal arts building at $ machinery, $240,000, transportation, $100,000; agriculture, $140, ooo, and ert,’ $150,000, "The operating ex- penses and other expenditures are expected to reach a total of $1,387,160. In order to meet this outlay it is expected that appro- priations aggregating $1,000,000 will be made by the United States, the state of Mary- land and the city of Baltimore, and it is proposed to issue $2,000,000 in stock and. bo the former of which will soon be placed on sale at $1 a share, payable in installmejits of $1 per share at the time of subscription, $1 at the end of three, six and nine months, respectively, and §2 at the end of twelve, fifteen and eighteen months, respectively. (Within a radius of 2) miles of Baltimore. there is a population of 12,000,000 people, while the southern states and New York contain 21,000,000 more. The incorporators beleve that 2,000,000 of these people will pay admission of fifty cents each to the exposition, while the citi- zens of Baltimore will buy 4,000,000 admis- sions during the 14 days that the affair will continue. The estimate is therefore made that frem all sources the receipts will amount to $5,507,000, out of which there will have to be paid the general and operat- ing and construction expenses, the redemp- tion of stock amounting: to $1,000,000, and 20 per cent dividend thereon, amounting in all to $4,956,860, leaving an expected balance of $550,140 at the close of the exposition. Some Seurees of Revenue. A large sum is expected to be realized from the sale of concessions, while a per- centage will be charged upon all sales made by both foreign and domestic exhibitors. While the exposition is to be in a measure national and international in its character, it will be to a great extent an exemplifica- tion of the growth and general progress of the south in the last decade, while the tm timate commercial relations Baltimore en- Joys with the South American republics wif make its Pan-American features particu- larly striking. The financial success of the midwinter fair in San Francisco, following so closely upon the heels of the great Co- lumbian exposition, and at a time when the country was suffering from the worst com- mercial depression tt had ever known, in- spires the gentlemen who are laboring so arduously for the success of the Baltimore exposition ‘> feel sanguine that thcir efforts will be amply rewarded. —_s Bay Ridge on the Chesapenke.

The Public Comfort Committee Hears Some Good Reports. The Pythian encampment public comfort committee met last night at the Hotel Randall, with the following members in at- tendance: J. H. Mitchell, Perey G. Smith, J. T. Trego, E. W. Yount, J. A. Minor, R. D. Crupper, Matchett, W. D. Henry, W. D. Bogby, H. J. Gasson, J. B. Scott, E. Green, A. R. Searle, G. D. Boss. Chairman J. H. Mitchell called the meeting to order, and Secretary Smith read the minutes of the previous session which were indorsed. Chairman Mitchell explained that the mat- ter of postage, stationery and inspectors lad been properly brought before the citi- zens’ executive committee at its last meet- ing, and that body had assented to all which the representative of the public com- fert committee had asked. The question of baving messenger boys to perform the usual service for incoming strangers had been mentioned to the executive committee, but a decision on this point had been deferred. The settlement of this question at this time was not called for. Mr. Green started a discussion by making a motion that the High School cadets be employed for service as messenger, if they would accept the Lroposition. He stated that they had done this on the occasion of other celebrations. In this he was corrected by both Chairman Mitchell and Secretary Smith, who said that. the High School boys had been here- tofore employed in the dealing out of infor- mation from the booths. Mr. Gasson thought that all this should be left to the citizens’: executive committee, for as yet that committee had not approved the em- ployment of messengers at all. Another member suggested that the regular district messengers should be employed, because of their greater familiarity witia the subject. Mr. Green stiil thought that the High School boys should have the honor of serv- ing the city, because of the many good turns they had done the people of the Di: trict of Columbia by giving exhibition dri and other military shows. Mr. Boss thought that it would be well to give preference. in the employment of boys to the sons of Knights of Pythias, explaining at the same time that he did not have any sons of his own. This raised a lengthy discussion, and was strongly opposed on the ground, as Mr. Gasson reasoned, that this was in the line of narrowness, and would not do, as the approaching celebration was not altogether a Pythian event, but a citizens’ affair, and the management of it was largely in the hands of the citizens of Washington and of those who were not iS. There were cries of “question,” but a trember moved that the matter be tabled, which was done. Secretary Smith said that at the last meeting the number of rooms registered for the accommodation of guesis was 358, and that this number had been increased to 60. At the last session of the committee quar- ters had been registered for 20,084 visitors, inclusive of the accommodations at hotels. and that this capacity had been increased to SSM. Chairman Mitchell explained that the lists of subcommittees which he had prepared to present for consideration at last night's session of the commitiee had been destroyed in his safe at the Knox fire, and he would be unable to rearrange this matter before the next meeting, to be held on August 8. He said that he had been at work since a few minutes after the fire broke out, and that his business plant had been wiped out. Acting on this hint, Mr. Gasson moved that a vote of sympathy and an offer of ass ance be extended to Mr. Knox and to Mr. Mitchell. This was carried. A vote of thanks was given to Mr. Trego, the pro- prietor of the Hotel Randall, for which that gentleman returned a bow a said that the committee was entirely welcome.
