According to ‘the story of a policeman, who arrested him Yesterday in the Riggs market, on P street, Thomas was looking for something else than work. He had strong suspicion that Thomas was looking too eagerly at the money in the purse of a lady who was pur- whasing vegetables. So he took him in. A couple of stall keepers swore before Judge Kimball this morning that Thomas was acting suspiciously, and then the young tar heel took the stand and told as smooth a Story as ever a court heard. He said that he was on his way to get work on the Cairo Flats in the morning, and stopped at the market. He looked at some apples that were for sale to ask their price. “What did you price them for?” asked judge. “I wanted to buy a barrel to send down home. They have no apples there this rear."* year. “But you had no money?” “Not a cent. But I expected to get work. This theory of the defense did not alto- a suit the court, especially as Officer W. Marshall swore that Thomas was before the court on a similar charge a year ago, notwithstanding his statement that he never been in Washington before this trip. So the judge ordered Thomas to give $0 bonds or go down for thirty days. —_s_—_ Fined on Both Counts. “Mary Jane Flood, a middle-aged white ‘woman, was charged with profanity and assault before Judge Kimball this morn- ing. She denied the profanity, but ac- knowledged hitting Charles Kelser, a young white man. Kelser, with a great gash be- tween his eyes, testified that he licked her brother and that she batted him in the hhead with a club. She also threatened his life, and said that she would fire his house. Mary Jane was taxed $5 and $10 respective- ly, and went down. ee Served Him R: John Herbert, a respectable appearing White man, was given ninety days in the workhouse by Judge Kimball today on Pleading guilty to a charge of indecent ex- sure. A little girl told the court that leroert was m the Agricultural grounds making an indecent exposure of himself. A Watchman in the grounds testified that very mzny complaints had been made re- Specting the men’s conduct, and that he had deliberately persisted in his conduct. Herbert made no denial of the statements and went down. —— Given Over to Hér Mother. Yesterday afternoon a dispatch was re- ceived at police headquarters from the chief of police of Salisbury, N. C., asking for the arrest of Victoria Johnson, a young white woman. The dispatch stated that the woman was demented and that she weuld be found waiting at a telegraph office for money from her mother. Detective Boardman found the young Woman at the telegraph office in the Me- tropolitan Hctel. She refused to answer any questions concerning herself, and was induced with much difficulty to go to po- Hee headquarters. From there she was sent to the first precinct, where she was placed in charge of the matron. This moruirg the woman’s mother arrived here and will take her daughter home today. ‘The mother stated that her daughter had been an inmate of an asylum and had been wandering about the country for three weeks. —_.——__.

Special Meeting Held by the Board This Morning—A Committee to Attend the Funeral. A meeting of the board of trustees of the Columbian University was held in the university building at 10 o'clock this morn- ing to take action on the death of the late Dr. Welling. Those present were Mr. Gar- diner G. Hubbard, who presided as chair- man; Mr. Robert H: Martin, secretary; Prof. Otis T. Mason, Rev. Dr. Chas. A. Stakeley, Mr. Chas. W. Needham, Prof. G. Brown Goode, Maj. Jchn W. Powell, Mr. J. Ormond Wilson, Mr. Joseph J. Darlington, Mr. Jchn T. Given and Mr. Theodore W. Noyes. A con.mittee consisting of Messrs. Mason, Staketey and Wilson was appointed to draw up resolutions expressive of the high estimation in which the pure life and char- acter of the dead president were held by his asecciates and the vniversity. The Resolutions. Whereas it hath pleased Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, to call speedily unto Himself our esteemed president and dear associate, Doctor James C. Welling, the up- right man, the conscientious student, the good citizen, the exemplary Christian, the friend of youth, the patron of art, the trus- tee of science, the ripe scholar, the devoted advocate of higher learning at the national capital, be it Resolved by the trustees of the Columbian University, in extraordinary session assem- bled, that we have learned with deep sorrow of the sudden death of President Welling, which deprives us of the companionship and covrsel of one who for more than a quarter of a century was the abiding friend of this institution, who for twenty-three years was its executive head, full of ccnfidence in its exalted mission, and who to the last main- tained a lively interest in its future pros- perity. Resolved, That we bow in humble resigna- tion before the will to whose watch, care and guidance a long line of godly men have perpetually committed the interests of Co- lumbian University, believing that in taking to nobler pursuits this one faithful servant, He will send us another leader whom He will also delight to honor. Resolved, That our condolence and sympa- thies be extended to the beloved wife and family and immediaté friends of the late President Welling, commending them to the God of consolation, who, in His loving arms, doth bear all afflicted hearts that commit themselves to Him. Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes and that a copy be sent to the family of the deceased, and that a com- mittee of three trustees, of whom the chair- man shall be one, be appointed to attend the funeral of Dr. Welling in Hartford. Resolved, That a committee of five trus- tees, of whom the vice president shail be chairman, be appointed to confer with the several institutions and societies with which Welling was connected to arrange a memorial service, to be held at some time in the near future. Marks of Respect. The chairman, Mr. Hubbard, Secretary Martin and Rev. Dr. Stakeley, who was President Welling’s pastor, were selected as the committee to attend the funeral, which will take place at 2 o'clock Friday after- noon in Hartford. As an additional mark of respect it was ordered that the uni- versity building should be draped in mourn- ing and be closed on the day of the funeral. The committee to arrange for a memorial service will be announced in a few days. Visitors to St. Elizabeth’ At a meeting of the board of visitors of the Government Hospital for the Insane held this morning the following resolutions, prepared by Dr. J. M. Toner, president, and Dr. W. W. Godding, secretary ex- officio, were unanimously adopted: Whereas the board of visitors of the Government Hospital for the Insane has beer deeply pained by the unexpected in- telligence of the death on the 4th instant of Dr. James C. Welling, who, for more than eighteen years, has been our honored associate. ‘Therefore, be it resolved, That in common with the whole community we mourn the decease of a most accomplished scholar, a public spirited citizen, a Christian gentle- man whose passing has left a void in the exalted circle where he moved, a loss in the educational center of which his personality was for so long a time so large a part. Resolved, That as a board we feel that in the death of Dr. Welling we have, each and all, experienced a personal bereave- ment. He was a friend to the insane, to whom they came for comfort as to a father; he was our friend no less. Henceforward we shall miss that philanthropy that was at once devoted and praciical, the counsels that were most wise, the judicious aid that was ever ready to our need, the fellowship that was genial and tender, the loving kind- ness that never failed us. But the example is not lost, the aims that were noble, the de- votion that did not falter, the life that was worthy here and immortal there, these survive and do not pass away. Resolved, That these resolutions be enter- ed on the record of the board and that a copy be sent to the family of the deceased. —_——— HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT. A Still Further Improvement in the Mortality Last Week. ‘The report of Health Officer Woodward for the week ending September 1, 1894, shows: Number of deaths, 86; white, 5 colored, 31. Death rate per 1,000 per an- nem: White, 14.66; colored, 17.9. ‘Total population, 15.69. Thirty-two were under five years of age, 17 were under one yeas old and 15 over sixty years. Eighteen ot the deaths occurred in hospitals and pub- lic institutions. The deaths by classes were as follows: Zymotic, constitutional, 11; local, 41; developmental, 6; violence, 3. The principal causes of death’ were: Croup, 1; diphtheria, 1; consumption, 5; diarrhoeal, 9; erysipelas, 1; typheid fever, 7; malarial, 1; searlet fever, 1; pneumonia, 2; cong tion of the lings, 1; whooping cough, 2; kidney disease, 9; cancers, 1. Births re- ported: 25 white males, white females, 19 colored males, 20 colored females. Mar- riages reported: 16 white, 2 colored. Still- births reported: 4 white, 5 colored. As favorable as was the last health re- port there was a still further improvement in the mortality of the city during the past week. The deaths decreased over 9 per cent in amount, with a correspondingly low death rate. There was but one death from bee spn and one from scarlet fever report. With the exception of whooping cough the other contagious diseases are in abeyance. The dry and even atmospheric temperature which prevailed during the week has had a highly beneficial influence, not only on those persons troubled with lung ailments, but on the general health of the District as well. While the total mor- tality during the last week was S86, there were 116 deaths in the ‘corr@sponding period of last year and 110 in the year pre- ceding that. —_—>——_. First Case Under a w Law. Judge Kimball found some law today that he had never heard of before. This was be- cause it was new law, and he had not been officially notified of it. The matter came up when the case of Caleb Cleveland was called. Caleb was charged with allowing his horse to run at large between R and Quincy streets, in the county, in violation of section 2 of article G of the police regulations, “as amended August 26," as Sergeant Slattery told the court. Judge Kimball looked down at Dr. Tindall, who sat among the witnesses, waiting for the Dunlop case, and said: “You never sent me word of this new amendment, doctor.” In view of the fact that this was the first case under the new law, and that there Was evidence that it was not well under- stood, the judge took the personal bonds of Caleb. ——_— Cruelty to a Hor: ie. M. D. Nelson, manager for the Herdic Company, was fined $5 today by Judge mball for working a horse with a bad He declared that the horse was being worked on but one trip a day, and that when the traffle was lightest. The court found out that the company brought this hor: to the city when it established here, ars ago, and that the ani- mal i: ty years old. Judge Kim- Nelson to pension the is abo directed Mr. BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE. A Party From the Calvary Baptist Charch Enjoy a River Trip. A party of young people of the Calvary Baptist Church spent Labor day very pleas- antly by a trip down the river on the steam launch Bartholdi to Occoquan creek and Gunston’s Point. Various games of amuse- ment were indulged in during the day. Sing- ing was indulged in by nearly every one on the boat, and the river fairly reseunded with their voices. The wharf was reached at 11 p.m., and every one expressed them- selves as having enjoyed one of the best ex- cursicns of the season. Among the party were the following: Misses Edith Corneilen- son, Rose Davidson, Wilson, Ida M. Pyle, Mankin, Augusta Prentiss, Alice Prentiss, Catlett, Ida Aler, Gritlith, May Seibold, Carrington, Jesse Nelson, Ethel Foster, and the Messrs. F. S. Browne, S. E. Aler, W. Aler, F. M. Conser, F. M. Hoskins, Fred Seibold, A, B. Seibold, Dr. D. E. Buckin- ham, N. 8. Catlett, G. E. Hebbard, A. R. Thornton and Mr. Darby. ——-+— — ALL ABOUT A PISTOL. Jane Johnson Couldn't Satisfactorily Explain Why She Had It. Judge Kimball flourished an enormous re- volver from the Police Court ‘bench this morning. It looked very murderous, but the court had no murder in his mind, He was merely trying to find out why Jane Johnson, a very matronly-appearing colored woman of middle age, was carrying the gun down L street between 19th and 20th streets last night. Officer McNeely told how he met Jane on L street with the pistol, which is of 44-caliber, in her hand. He arrested her, after quite a struggle, and found half a dozep cartridges in the gun. Jane took the stand to tell how a man had giver the pistol to her boy some time ago, and it bothered her, lying around in her house, with all her numerous children playing around. “ "Deed, judge, yo’ honor, it laid on de ash barrel from 3 o'clock in de afternoon smack up to 10 o'clock las’ night. Then, yo’ honor, I took de pistol in my han’ an’ went ‘long L street to fin’ de man who give it to my boy. He lives in Linger’s alley, and, judge, yo’ honor, I held de pistol right smack out open. Judge, yo’ honor, I rever had no ‘scuse to carry a pistol. It ain’t no use to me.” Jamcs Ford, a dapper young colored man, was called to the stand, but he knew little about the case, did not even know where Linger’s alley was, and although he saw Jane on L street with the pistol in her hand, his ideas of local geography were so vague that he was excused, after he had got Lawyer James Smith and Officer Mc- Neely into a quarrel, which Judge Kimball broke up. Charles Madison, a young colored boy, thought the pistol was one that he and the Johnson boy found about five years ago. “Then we gave it to this young lady to keep for us,” he said, indicating Jane. “That was about three or four years ago.” Jane denied that it was the same pistol, saying that the original gun had been dis- posed of long ago. She was urged by Judge Kimball to describe the man who gave the pistol to her boy, and after some effort she said that he dressed in black clothes and a pink shirt. Judge Kimball took the wo- man’s bonds, and sent her and Officer Mc- Neely in a patrol wagon to find the man with the pink shirt. He then turned over the miniature Krupp to the policeman. ——— The Law and Mr. Dunlop. To the Editor of The Evening Star: If Capt. Powell had been a lawyer in- stead of a soldier he would probably have replied to President Dunlop's letter “by what authority,” etc., in quite a different view. By insisting upon running his cable cars at a dangerous rate of speed along a street as crowded as Pennsylvania avenue was at the time of the recent night parade Mr. Dunlop was not only guilty of a common law misdemeanor, but he would have been guilty, at least, of manslaughter, if not ee murder, had any one been Mr. Dunlop, of course, claims that the law (statute) gives him the right to run his cars upon the avenue at all times, but he is very much mistaken if he supposes this to mean that he may run them so as to endanger the life or mb of the citizen. Salus populi suprema lex est. Any citizen has a right to drive his pri- vate vehicle along the avenue, but he would soon find himself brought up with a short stop by some other citizen, if not by the police, if he attempted to drive through a crowd of human beings in such a way as to endanger their lives, and not only would Capt. Powell and the police, but even the said private citizen, have the legal right to stop such a reckless driver, but {t would be their legal and moral duty to do so. Upon the same principle of law Mr. Dun- lop, nor his corporation, has no more right to endanger the lives of citizens by reck- less driving of cable cars through enormous crowds at night than the driver of any other private vehicle, and no corporation charter can give such right, be its lan- guage what it may. This he will learn when his contemplated suit comes to final judgment, for the only question for trial should be, and probably will be: “Were the cable cars runnipg through such crowds en the night In question as to render such running dangerous to life or limb?” If so, and any court and jury will, under the well- known facts, find affirmatively, then Mr. Dunlop, Ly willfully persisting in endanger- ing the lives of his fellow citizens, after he was informed of the facts, was guilty of a common law misdemeanor, for which he is indictable, and let us hope since he has “gone to law” he will get it. It is no answer to say that the law gives his corporation cars the right of way along the streets. If I and a number of other citizens violate the law by standing upon the car tracks, to the obstruction of this corporation’s right of way, that gives its president no right to run his juggernaut over us, we may be liable to punishment by fine or imprisonment, or both, for in- fringing, however unavoidably, upon the rights of this great corporation, but such misconduct on our part gives it no right to run us down to our death as if we were outlaws. So, also, Mr. Dunlop's plea that to stop the running of his cars, even under such circumstances, would be a violation of the company’s charter is puerile. When the stoppage is rendered necessary to prevent loss of life or limb there is no violation of any charter, however imperious its pro- visions. The law is more reasonable and less reckless of human life than Mr. Dun- lop seems to be. Let us, however, be thankful that al- though Capt. Powell, being no lawyer, seems to be unaware of his legal rights, he is yet a sqldier, and with a true soldier's courage does not hesitate to assume re- sponsibility when the lives of our citizens are in danger.

Matters of Local Interest to the Resi- den Living om the West Side of Rocls Creek. Sister Sabina of the Georgetown Convent died yesterday morning at 12:45 o'clock. She had been an inmate of the house of re- ligion for forty-two years. The deceased was Miss Virgiria Butler, and was born in Washington, Her father was an English- man. Most of her outside life, however, was spent in New Orleans, where the fam- ily removed to. Her father was a Protes- tant, but afterward professed the Catholic faith. Sister Sabina entered the George- town Convent on the second marriage of her father. For twenty-five years she has acted as directress of St. Joseph School, though not possessing the title. She was probably the most widely known of all the Visitation sisters here. For the past two years, though, she has been in ill-health, much of the time in the infirmary. She was obliged to take to her bed for the last time about six weeks ago. Solemn requiem mass was held this morning in the chapel, the officiating priests being Father Scanlan, the pastor of Trinity; Father Roccofort, the assistant pastor; Father Fox of George- town College, the convent chaplain, and Father Hagan of Georgetown College, the convent confessor. The procession to the grave was made up of eighty siste’s and nuns, all carrying lighted candles, There was no singing, no chanting, only the toll- ing of the chapel bell. Those who bore the body to the grave were Messrs. Hanlon, James Manogue, Chas. Murray, John Hee- nan, Steele and John May. Sister Mary Vineent will succeed Sister Sabina as in- structor of catechism at St. Joseph's School, adjoining the convent. Barney McQuade, the dealer in sand, &c., whose property on 20th street near Water was recently taken charge of by the mar- shal, made a descent yesterday on the deputy stationed there and proceeded to exterminate him. He was assisted by his son. James Williamson, the deputy, had the two arrested for assaull and battery. There was a dead male infant found yes- terday in the Potomac. Some boatmen saw it floating near the Potomac Club house and took it in charge until the arrival of Officer Fisher. The child was white. It had been born dead. Mrs. Henrietta Hein, widow of the late Samuel Hein, died yesterday morning at the residence of her son-in-law, Chief En- gineer Harrie Webster, U. S. N. She will be buried tomorrow morning.

Montgomery, upon a warrant sworn out before Justice of the Peace Lewis I O'Neal by Milton E. Simms, charging the officer with perjury. Milton E. Simms isa colored barber, and several days ago he was charged in the Police Court with kesping his shop open for business on Sunday, the 20th of Jast month. Officer Gelabert was: the complaining wit- néss, and he is said to have sworn that Simms was guilty as charged, and that Simms had confessed his guilt .to Lieut. Gessford of the eighth precinct. The charge was dismissed, however. The warrant sworn to by Simms, dated August 3, 1894, weeks before the offense is alleged to have been committed, eharges that in so testify- ing Gelabert committed willful and felo- nious perjury. Summoned as witnesses, as noted on the back of the warrant, are Simms’ clerk, Jos. Y. Potts, Lieut, Gess- ford, Prosecuting Attorney Jos. E. Pugh, Jas. H.

Isaac Tippets, a stout-looking young white man, was in the dock of Judge Kimball's court this morning charged with boisterous conduct and profanity at 10th and C streets southeast yesterday. The policeman who made the arrest was about to take the stand when the judge ordered him to stand aside, saying that there was something more in the case than the charge showed. So he called Health Inspector Bowman to the stand and he told a curious tale about Isaac. The young man, he said, has not been just right in his mind for some time, owing to a severe sunstroke which he suf- fered several years ago. He has been in the habit of wandering off and his folks, who live in Surrattsville, Md., are now anxious that he should be sent home. Judge Kimball directed Mr. Bowman to have Isaac, whe is about twenty-five or thirty years old, returned to his parents. Isaac spoke up at this from the dock and said: “I've been farming all summer. I guess I can go home by myself, judge.” “Well, I'd rather Mr. Bowman would take you home,” said the court. “But I know I can go home alone,” per- sisted Isaac. Nevertheless he went back and he will be sent to Surratisville, —.—_—_ Trains Excry Hour via B. and 0. R. R. to Baltimore.
