Lorenzo D. Prenty, a colored ice dealer, ‘was in bad luck yesterday. His horse died the day before and he gave money to a friend, whom he sent to purchase another horse. In the meantime he borrowed a mule from a friend, but the animal was lame. He started out before day, and about 8 o'clock Agent Rabbitt of the Humane So- clety arrested him. When Judge Kimball heard the case this morning the defendant claimed that he started out before daybreak and did not know that there was anything the matter with the animal. This excuse had little weight with the court, aud a fine of $10 was imposed. — Bea Place for Two Young Girls. Last night, between 8 and 9 o'clock, Po- iceman J. D. Sutton of the first precinct met two young girls, each of whom had a male companion. They were strolling along Ohio avenue, the southern boundary of the “Divisica,” at the tie, and the officer con- eluded that they had better be at home with their parents. For this reason he took charge of the little girls and took them to the station, when Matron Pennifield took @ motherly interest in them. The girls proved to be Edits McKenzie of 603 4th Street and Daisy Grice of 208 D street southeast. The former is fifteen years old and the latter is two years her junior. The boys with them, they said, ‘were Jack Dempsey and Abe Worthington. The girls had not been in any of the houses, but were just walking through to get an idea of the miserable condition of affairs in this section, or, as one of them sald, they were looking at’ the “slums.” Later in the night they were turned over to their parents. Nomini creek, ee Why Mr. Desio Cannot Sleep. Edward S. Schmid, who has a pet animal emporium at 1221 Pennsylvania avenue, is” to appear in Judge Kimball's court tomor row as a defendant, a warrant having been issued for his arrest on complaint of Ge- Tome Desio, the jeweler, whose place of business adjoins the store where birds and animals are kept for sale. The warrant Was issued under the police regulations which protect citizens from annoyance by animals and fowls, chiefly crowing roosters and barking dogs, but in this case it is charged that chirping, whistling and squawking birds and parrots disturbed the peace and comfort of Mr. Desio. The sec- tion of the regulations under which the case Was started uses the word “fowl,” and Judge Kimball will have to decide whether that was intended to cover birds. Mr. Desio, in making his complaint, said he had been unable tc sleep, and he com- plained particularly against a rabbit of the lop-ear variety, which, he says, he sees in his dreams, because of the great annoy- ance. Mr. Schmid claims that the birds and ani- mals go to sleep at sundown, and make no noise whatever. ——_—___ You'll Never Find Grass Growing t??

IN THE POLICE COURT Some of the Cases That Were Acted Upon Today, * Most of the Prisoners Were Charged With Drunkenness or Vagrancy Were Found Guilty. Annie Waters is the name of a colored woman who lives at No. 728 7th street, near the navy yard. She has a large house and rents rooms for a living. Edward Howard and his wife occupied one of the rooms, but their home was not pleisant, and they complained to the woman of the house. But from her they got no satisfaction. “If you don't like the way thirgs are going here,” she told them, “you had better leave.” “That's what we'll do,” Howard told her. Then he went out and looked for rooms elsewhere, but for some reason he was not very successful, and Annie sndeavored to hurry away her roomers. This brought on trouble, and Arnie and Howard met in the kitchen after the former had removed the bed from tne latter's room. “And,” said Annie, “he called me every- thing except a lady. I told him I would put nim out, and he said he would beat me, as he had whipped women before.” “No, indeed, judge,” interrupted the man, “I never called her any bad names, but she called me all the contemptible names she could think of.’ “Why don’t you move out of her house and end this trouble?” the court asked him. “That's what I intend to do,” he replied; “but, judge, you know, it’s so hard to get rooms now.” Judge Kimball warned him not to repeat bond ie ary and accepted his personal ni Admitted He Was Drunk. “Judge, I is guilty of being drunk, and *tain’t no use tellin’ a lie ‘bout it,” was what George Wood, colored, said when ar- raigned for disorderly conduct. “And if you give me till next week,” he added, “I'll pay the fine.” ‘What do you do?” the court asked. 1 can get him If he doesn’t pay the fine,” said an officer. “I arrested him in a saloon the other night, and he may be found there almast any night.” “Then he is not the kind of a man who should be trusted,” said the judge. George renewed his plea, and the judge gave him the time asked. AN Three Were Considered Guilty. Alice Green, a white woman with a dis- figured face, was in the procession on a charge of vegrancy. She was weil dressed, but Policeman Carson had found her in @ shed in a stone yard at an early hour this morning under suspicious circum- stances. Two men, Jchn Hollo.an and Thomas Hanlahan, were also there. They were under the influence of lquor, but Alice was sober. The policeman told the ccurt of the cir- cumstances under which he arrested the trio. The woman was charged with v: grancy and the men plead not guilty to a charge of disorderly. Alice denied that she had picked up the men on the street. “I was acquainted with Mr. Hanlahan,” she said, “and when I met him on the street he went with me.” “You will have to give bond in the sum of $100 or stand committed for sixty days,” the judge told the woman. “I'm not a vagrant,” said the woman when she started back. “The policeman doesn’t know me, and I'm no more a va- grant than he is.” Be: men were fined $10 or thirty days eacl Went Down at Hi® Own Request. Thomas Hansard was a spectator when the court opened, but he was a prisoner soon after court convened. He had called Policeman Trocter and requested him to have the court send him down. “I'm guilty,” he said when the clerk arraigned him on a charge of vagrancy. “Where are you from?” the court asked him. “I'm from Toledo, Ohio,” was his reply. “Then you had. better go back there and get sent down,” the court told him. “We have enough tramps of our own to care for, without having any imported.” ‘The judge gave him five days and told him he had better leave the District when released. James Ellis went to a wedding last night and enjoyed the festivities. Before the guests dispersed he got into trouble. Wm. Young, uncle of the bride, and a friend made a statement to Policeman Murphy, who made the arrest. James x o <- lateral for his appearance. le was in court this morning. Officer Murphy said it was reported to him that Ellis had cursed the minister. This he was unable to prove, and Ellis was acquitted. ion ABOUT GEORGETOWN. Matters of Local Interest to Residents West of Rock Creek. An alarm of fire was turned In from box 73 at 7:15 o'clock last night. The engine responded to the call, and the men located the blaze in house 1634 32d street, the home of Richard W. Hawkins. The fire had originated through the igniting of the oil in the tank of a gasoline stove. It was not found necessary to turn on the water. The following boats arrived yesterday with coal: Consolidation No. 17, 107 tons; James Goddard, 107 tons; Consolidation No. 12, 109 tons; No. 101, 107 tons; W. C. Reed, 108 tons; A. L. Miller, 109 tons; Jas. Bryan, 104 tons; Corsolidation No. 2, 106 tons. These cargoes were consigned to Meredith, Winship & Co. The canal company now “has water to sell,” the recent rains having brought the feeder up to more than its usual level. Water is coming over the Cumberland dam. Boats are being loaded now with the regulation number of tons— from 116 to 120. It has been understood that Tenleytown has been placed within the precincts pre- sided over by the health department, but as yet none of the nuisances of the town have been abated. je The Georgetown and Tenleytown rail- road employes have organized a socie- ty for their mutual benefit. Its main object is to build up a fund to be meted out to the unemployed ones during the winter months. Money for the treasury will be raised through entertainments, etc. New Cut rcad travelers say thet the Dis- trict men employed in building fences along the dangerous parts are planting the posts in the established gutters, and that the first hard rain will tear them uo. Rev. Mr. Stitt, pastor of the Dumbarton Avenue Church, has extended an invitation to the members of Hermione Division, No. 4, Knights of Pythias, and other bodies of the District order, to attend services at his church on Sunday evening next at o'clock, whe. a special sermon will be preached. The knights will meet at 3ist and M and go to the church in a body. —_.——. DRUM CORPS LAWN PARTY. Last Evening Proved to Be Enjoyable at the 14th Street Park. Th opening evenirg of the kiwn party in Progress, under the auspices of the John B. Henderson Drum Corps, at Fourteenth Street Park, on Mth street between T and U streets northwest, was successful in every particular. This was due in large part to the great popularity of the am- bitious young musicians. It is claimed that 1,500 tickets of admission were sold pre- vious to the opening. The park was prettily decorated and gayety reigned supreme until midnight. During the evening Miss Mable Kipp gave an exhibition of fancy dancing and later Nelson Division, No. 2, Knights of Pythias, visited the party in a body, escorted by a’ portion of the drum corps. The object of the lawn party is to secure new zouave uniforms for the members of the organization. The affair will be con- tinued this evening. The various booths were in charge of the following: Fancy table, Mrs. Noble and Mrs. Jones; aprons, Miss Ritchie; cake, Mrs. Bawsell, Miss Liofrio, Miss Biackford; flowers, Misses Stone; candy, Mrs. Millis; fortune teller, Miss Simms; paddle stand, Mr. File; ice cream, Mrs. McGraty, assisted by the Misses Herbert, Noble, Dant, Funk, New- man, Liofrio and Mills as waitresses, VICTIMS OF THE STUMPH FIRE. The Funeral of Henry Fowler Took Place This Morning. The funeral of Henry Fowler, one of the victims of the Stumph fire, took place this morning at 10 o'clock, at Mt. Vernon Place Church. The services were simple, Rev. Isaac W. Canter, who officiated, speak- ing in the highest terms of the deceased. In his remarks, which were taken from the 15th chapter of Paul's Epistle to the Co- rinthians, he alluded to the frailties of life, and the repeated warnings of approaching death, given by Providence in the way of accidents, and disasters,and bodily ailments. “As a rule many of these pass unheeded,” he said, “but such a disaster as occurred on Monday was a warning which produced a telling effect upon those who allowed business cAres and attentions to crowd out thoughts of death.” The deceased was in- terred in Glenwood cemetery. The funeral of James E. Vaughan took Place at 3 o'clock this ernoon at the residence of his father-in-law, George T. Allen, at 815 street southeast. The other victims of the fire have been buried, the funeral of Robert Reitzell taking piace yesterday afternoon, Rev. Samuel Domer officiating. At Rock Creek cemetery, where the intcrment took place, there were gath- ered many of the friends of the deceased, conspicuous among them being members of the Potomac Wheelmen and the Lotus Club. The funeral of Willie Ash took place in Anacostia yesterday, and the remains of W.M. Tennyson were removed to Annan. dale, Va., for interment. The injured are progressing in improvement. —_—>— A SYMPOSIUM IN SMOKE. Inaugurat! of the Social Season by the Carroll Institute. The smokers which proved so popular among the members of the Carroll Insti- tute and their friends last winter were inaugurated for the approaching season last night at the commodious club house on 10th street and there was a large at- tendance, which keenly enjoyed the novel entertainment presented. The large hall was prettily decorated for the occasion with a profusion of fine shrubbery, while banners of the national colors gracefully fell in festoons from walls and ceiling. The music stand, which was erected on a raised platform in the center, was made attrac- tive in the same manner and was occupied by the new Carroll Institute Orchestra of twenty-two performers, under the leader- ship of Prof. Sol. Minster. Their work was of a most ccmmendable nature and the selections were rendered with an artistic finish surprising in a recently ‘organized orchestra. The entertainment was com- menced with the Carroll Institute March, and other tuneful selections were given during the exercises. Rev. Dr. Dennis J. Stafford, the eloquent assistant pastor of St. Patrick's Church, made a pleasant ad- dress, complimentary to the institute, its motives and its already estimable accom- plishments and a diversified program follow- ed. Mr. Mate Wright sang ‘The Armor- Song” from Robin Hood; Mr. E. B. Jasker sang “And the Parrot Said Come In.” Mr. Joha Armstrong whistled like a dozen mocking birds in one, and there was given an amusing series of “living pic- tures” the stage, among which were dis- played “The Lost Cause,” “The Old Re- Hable,” which was a one-dollar bill; “The Kicker," “Comrades” and “Night,” while @ boot and shoe were shown under the title of “An Odd Pair." Mr. E. H. Berens sang @ bass solo; Mr. Royce Hough gave a very pretty exhibition of fancy ciub swinging, and Prof. Maurice Joyce and his pupils, Masters Kepler and Spurrier, showed their wonderful proficiency in a number of acro- batic and gymnastic feats, There were flute playing by Mr. George Cooper and comic singing by Georgie O'Connor, while @ prodigious quantity of cigars were smoked. Some of those who helped make the atmosphere hazy were Maj. J. W. Pow- ell, M. I. Weller, Lieut. Amiss, John Saul, Albert Schulteis, George Livingston, Fran- cis‘ Mallett, President Hannan, James J. Collins, Frank B. Jones, Edward Vogt, Frank Deveraux, Frank P. May, M. W. Johnston, N. T. Taylor, Bernard Bridget, Henry Sohon, J. H. Shea, Dr. Darby, Joseph Griffith, W. F. Downey, J. J. Brady, Maj. Ed. Mallett, Edward Masi, Bernard Lowcraft and Gregory Ennis. The com- mittee, whose members appeared in the regulation uniform of chefs, and whose management was largely responsible for the success of the evening, was composed of H. Goldsborough Goddard, chairman, and Assistants George H. O'Connor, George J. Cox, H. Oliver, Joseph H. Burkhart, James F. Meekin and E. J. Riley. The announcement was made during the evening that the new orchestra would give @ concert October 17, among the soloists being Mrs. Kittle Thompson Berry and Miss Claudia Moore. —_——- DECISION AFFIRMED. Opinion of the Court of Appeal the Damages for Gen. Wilcox’s Death. Among the opinions handed down yester- day afternoon in the Court of Appeals was that of Mary R. Wilcox, niece and admin- istratrix of the late Gen. Cadmus M. Wil- cox, against the District. The suit was brought to revover $10,000 damages because of the death of Gen. Wilcox, which was due to injuries received from falling into an excavation, November 26, 1800, at the corner of 14th and G streets. The Kcking- ton R. R. Co. had been granted a permit by the District to lay certain tracks on G street and the raflroad contracted with the Cranford Paving Co. to do certain excavat- ing and filling there. Gen. Wilcox, while walking down 14th street about 6 o'clock in the evening, fell to the ground by step- ping or catching his foot in one of the cuts. He struck his head against the gBreund with such force as to cause his death on December 2 following. He died intestate, and as he had never been mar- ried Miss Wilcox sued for $10,000 damages as next of kin. There was a verdict in her favor for $5,416, which was reduced by the trial judge to $5,000, and accepted by the plaintiff. The District appealed, though the Cran- ford company was reably the defendant in the case, the District having recourse against that company for any loss. There Were numerous exceptions to the rulings of the trial court, but the main contention of the defendant seems to have been that the statute allowing the next of kin to sue did not mean relatives so far removed as the plaintiff. But the Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of the court below, holding that no error had been committed and that the plaintiff was fully entitled to sue. ——~—.__ “Where There’s a WI Way.” ‘To the Editor of The Evening Stir: The pleas filed in the court of public opin- fon on behalf of our municipal authorities in extenuation of their responsibility for the loss of life at the burning of the Stumph building are: 1. The fire escape law is defective, in that it provides no adequate punishment for those who disregard it. 2. The building ‘nspector has rot a suf- ficient force to adequately perform the work imposed upon him. I am not of those who admit the sufficien- cy of these pleas. i deny that because of the defect in the fire escape law or the in- adequate force in the inspector's office it was impracticable to prevent the erection of a building in defiance of the law. It was entirely competent for the inspect- or, without going out of his office, to have placed an embargo upon the construction by refusing a permit upon plans in which no provision was made for fire escapes. He had ample power if he had chosen to ex- ercise it. It may be different in the case of buildings erected before the passage of the law (1887). But as to all those thereaf- ter erected he might have made good the defect in the law by applying other laws. Suppose he had refused a permit in such case. Would the owner have invoked the law to compel the issuance of a permit for a construction which disregarded the fire- escape law? Certainly not. Nor would ne have attempted to go ahead without a per- mit. Commissioners would have been sufficient to stop the work. The moral is that there are more wea- pons than a single defective law available to our authorities to protect the lives of the people; or, “where there’s a will there’s a way.” There's a a A Gasoline Stove Exploded.

ALLEGED BICYCLE THIEVES. And They May Be-the Men Who ‘Tap- ped the Wires. Agent Fossett of the United States Ex- press Company at Harper’s Ferry saw in a Washington paper a few days ago a no- tice of the alleged theft of two bicycles. The day before reading the notice he had expressed two wheels from Harper's Ferry to Parkersburg, and, thinking they were the stolen wheels, he wrote a letter to Mr. C. E. Miller, the bicycle dealer here, who had lost one of the wheels. The other wheel belonged to the Gormully & Jeffery Company. This letter was turned over to Detectives Boardman and Quinlan, and the wheels and alleged thieves were captured in Parkersburg. The officers went to Par- kersburg Wednesday and returned last night with the alleged thieves and their plunder. Last Saturday a young man who proved to be Fred. J. Owens went into Miller's store on ith street and said he wanted to buy a wheel. He was well dressed and presented such a good appearance that Mr. Miller allowed him to take out a bicycle to try. About the same time Walter Geddis, allas J. W. Walter, wert to Gormully & Jeffery’s place. Under the same pretense he got a wheel. The men failed to re- turn aud then the loss was reported to the police. Walter Geddis is a-son of a War Depart- ment clerk and Owens came here about two years ago from Sedalia, Mo. They were fast friends and thespolice claim that they are the men who attempted to tap the Western Union wires on the Long bridge aore than a week ago. At that time, as Frinted in The Star, Detectives Boardman and Mattingly wentiin pursuit of the tap- pers and just missed them by about two minutes. During the investigation the offi- cers learned that the‘koat in which the men were when the wire was tapped belonged to Ritter, whose boat house is at the foot of 7th street, and that one of the men was Owens. It was two days after this that the wheels were obtained and the men rode them es: far as Harper's Ferry. After shipping the swheels they went to Parkersburg cn_a:freight train and were surprised by officers: when they called at the express office fov the wheels. Now the prisoners are locked-up at the sixth police station and the officers are endeavoring to find a law under which they can be prose- cuted for the alleged wire tapping. They will be tried in the Police Court tomorrow on charges of grand larceny of the bicycles. For a Restraining Order. A bill in equity, praying for an account- ing and a restraining order, was today filed by Thos, J. Staley and Edwin J. Gresham against Charles H. Fickling.

AMUSEMENTS, New National Theater.—The tunefulness and the scholarship of “Lohengrin” com- bine to make it-one of the operas upon which a manager relies for substantial re- sults. It shows a more genial touch in its treatment of themes than do the later operas, which serve to present Wagner as a unique musical and intellectual giant. It is none the less a masterpiece for the lack of the rigid adherence to the theoretic principles which the great composer de- veloped. It has the poetic majesty both of thought and musical development that lift the everyday mortal completely from the sphere of the practical into the com- pletely ideal. The presentation of the opera by the Tavary company was a highly creditable one. Mme. Tavary carried the role of Elsa in a capable manner, and the singing of Payne Clark was admirable. Miss Von Doenhoff showed artistic strength not only musically, but dramatically in the part of Ortrud. The remainder of the cast presented many points of excellence worthy of individual compliment. A performance of “Lohengrin” is a pretty strong test of almost any company that is not especially organized, and the manner in which It was given last night entitles Manager Chas. H. Pratt to congratulations. Tonight Gou- nod’s “Faust” will be given, with Tavery, Guille, Dorre and Mertens in the cast, and tomorrow night, in compliance with many requests, “I Pagliacci” dnd the “Caval- leria Rusticana” will be repeated instead of “Tanrhause: as at first announced.
