Several days ago The Star printed the bill which the Commissicners had prepared. Yesterday afternoon they supplemented the bil with the following letter to Senator Gorman: “The Commissioners of the District of Jennie Brown, a colored woman who rests | Columbia herewith transmit and recom- her head on a@ pillow in a house in Free- man’s alley when she ts asleep, was a caller in Judge Taylor’s court this morning, and Policeman Laurenceson complained that she was a vagrant. ‘ The officer told the court that Jennie was @ woman of evil life, and said she was drunk almost every day. “She lives with a man to married,” said the officer, tinualiy about the streets and does not work.” Lawyer Moss, who defended Jennie, ques- tioned the officer concerning his know!edge of the woman, and he thought she might possibly work half an hour or an hour a day without his seeing her. Jennie, in her own defense, denied the charge so far as it related to. her habits, saying she was not a drunkard. “Do you work?” asked her counsel. res, sir.” “When did you work last?” Judge Taylor asked her. (esterday, was her response. “Where?” “At No. 1304 Rhode Island avenue,” she answered. “I do chamber work in the house and work every day.” Lawyer Moss argued that the woman pre- sented the appearance of being respectable, and he thought he- evidence certainly show- ed her innocent of the charge. “If she works every day, as she says,” said Judge Tayler, “she surely is not likely to become chargeable to the District as a Pauper.” Jennie was discharged. George Curtis; a colored resident of 2d Street southwest, got drunk last night, and when he went home he entered the rooms of other persons and played havoe with their effects. “He broke my $6 lamp,” one of the wo- men told Judge Taylor, and she also said some of her other effects were damaged. “This is all wrong,” said George, “i never was in the room in my life.”’ There were two charges against him, and the fine was $20 or sixty days. Nicholas Brooks, a man who has worked in a coal yard so long that his complexion is about the color of the fuel, got drunk Jast night and he also got arrested. “i'm guilty,” he answered, when arraign- ed, “but, judge.” he added, “I'm a hard- working man with a wife and three chil- dren to support, and if you trust me till Monday I'll pay the $5, Last night, you know, I got a little off and got in trouble.” Judge Taylor told him he was not think- ing much of his wife and children when he Was drinking liquor. He gave him until Monday to pay the fine. vhom she is not Several Cases. Joseph Foley’s general appearance. indi: cated that he belongs somewhere outside of this city. He appeared at the bar of justice and said “guilty” when accused of having used bad language in Henry Park. The usual fine was imposed. William Thomas, a young negro, went to the fire last night, but he did not return home. He went with a little female cousin and Policeman Lee arrested him for pro- fanity. “We were locked arm: sald the little girl, “but he aldn’t swear. I never heard him cuss a oath since I've been born.” But the policeman did hear him and the court imposed the usual fine. There is something atiractive about St. Paul's Catholic Church, for several times the unfinished edifice has been entered. This morning about 3 o'clock Policeman Doyle found a man in the church asleep on a pile of lumber. The man gave his name as John C. Rose, and told the officer that he was from Cleveland, Ohio. Judge Taylor inquired of him where he belonged and he arswered “Kentucky.” “What are you doing here?” “I've lived in Kentucky on a farm and there was not much doing there,” he an- swered, “and so I came here.” Judge Taylor released the man or his personal bonds. Four Commonweaters. Next came four men who came here be- cause of the call of Coxey, the deserter from: the commonweal army. John Anderson, a German, was one of them. He came over from the Frye ¢amp this morning and Policeman Lewis found him begging. “When did you come over the river’ court asked. “I came over about 5 o'clock this morn- ing,” he answered. “There was nothing to eat over there, and I thought I would come = the city and get something to sustain life.” He said he came here from San Francisco, where he left his wife and two caildren. “TI never had to beg before,”’ he said, “and if I could get transportation I would be more than glad to go home.” “If you had remained at home,” the judge told him, “you would not have had to beg.” “T know that,” said the man, with tears in his eyes, “but I'm not a tramp.” | “You have made a tramp of yourséif by coming here,” the ccurt said. Then the man went on to say that he had read in the book of Moses where the Lord sent bread to eat, but Judge Taylor thought the bread was sent to a class of persons entirely different from the commoawealers of the present date. The prisoner was scent down for thirty days. . Sergt. Kirby and Policeman Branson had three commonwealers in the procession. They were in a party of about three dozen men who arrive! at Benning last night, and the oficers were unable to catch any more of them. The prisoners deciared that they had no ides of stopping here, but were on thetr way to Baltimore.

Judge Mills totem} complaints have been mend the early enactment of a draft of a bill for the collection and disposal of gar- bage and dead animals in the District of Columbia. ‘The necessity for an immediate appropriation as proposed in the bill is im- perative. Heretofore the garbage has been removed from the District by transporta- tion down the river, except during a brief period, when {t was disposed of by reduc- tion by means of superheated steam, the works for which were destroyed by fire shortly after they were put in operation. The disposal of the garbage by transporta- tion down the river has become such a nuisance to the residents of the shores it passes as to raise an opposition which has practically prohibited that means of remov- ing the material. The authorities are there- fore obliged to resort to some means of de- stroying or treating the garbage within the Limits of the District. This would involve a greatly increased expense, which they cannot reasonably expect the garbage con- tractor to bear under the rates provided in ihe existing contract. The quantity of gar- bage and dead animals collected daily is about 100 tons, and inasmuch as it is no longer possible to dispose of the material by transportation beyond the limits of the District, the Commissioners respectfully recommend and urge that provision be made at once for its destruction within the Dis- trict, in order to prevent the creation of a nuisance that will seriously endanger public health. . “The Commissioners “are informed that the state authorities of Maryland and Vir- ginia have protested against a continuance of the practice of landing this offensive material within their respective territories, and as this is the only method of disposal at the present time, they are confronted with a serious problem, involving the health and comfort of the Washington publi THE ENGIN Company © Has Started for ttx Camp at Ocean City, Company C, engineer corps, left today at 5 p.m. for Ocean City.

Dr. Charles B. Michen; a veterinary surgeon of this city, was found dead in bed at the American House,” Pennsylvania ave- nue rear 7th street northwest, yesterday afternoon. Dr. Michener returned to Wash- ington at a late hour on Wednesday night from a visit to Maryland, and it being too late to take a car for Takoma, where he re- sided, went to the American House.
