Today, in the Police Court, Judge Miller heard the proof in the case of James Ryan, the pensfoner-inmate of Soldiers’ Home, charged with setting fire to the barn and hay in the grounds of that institution. The principal witress for the government was the colored woman, Sarah Smith, who told of alleged suspicious conduct on part of the prisoner. For the defense, it was claim- ed that Ryan was in a@ house known as Biddles’ and that he was intoxicated at the time the fire started. Several witnesses told the court of having seen Ryan in this house, and a young man who lives in the house said he gave Ryan five drinks of whisky in three minutes. a oe ee ee ee a “About the size of a ten-cent drink,” was the witness’ arswer. “How much do they give for ten cents im the mile itmit?” “I don’t know, I only speak from obser- vation in the city.” The witness said he paid $2 for a gallon of whisky in the city and several men helped to pay for it. After listening to the evidence of a num- ber of witnesses, the court said that while e je thoi hud better investigate it. supe Ryan was held in $500 security for the ac- tion of the grand jury. —_. A GEOLOGIC FIND. Interesting Remainn Unearthed in Digging a Well in Anacostia. A peculiar find was made on the Green Property on Jefferson street, Anacostia, yes- terday. A. M. Green & Company are su- Perintending the construction of a cottage at the place im question, the foundation of which is on a level with the dome of the Capitol. Yesterday the well dig- gers, under a colored man named Jen- kins, had arrived at the distance of about forty-four feet, and still no water. They soon came into a coal black sand and continued to aig. It was then that the workmen were surprised by unearthing a Shovelful of shark's teeth and sea shells. The teeth, five in number, were turned over to Dr. AM. Green, They are in excellent condition, one of them being absolutely pe>- fect. The sea shells were not large, but of the tropical variety, and about a handful in quantity, The collection and part of the sandy soil are held, subject to examination by some scientist from the National M seum. Finds of this nature have been re- ported as having been discovered in other parts of Anacostia, but not until that oi: yesterday was particular credence given to such statements, So Mr. Webster His Answer, In the suit for divorce instituted sey. weeks ago by Marie Webster against Geo. H. Webstef, the defendant today filed an answer, denying the allegations set forth in his wife's bill of complaint. He denies that he ts an habitual drunkard, and state~ that it is not true that he treated his wife cruelly, or that he assaulted her. He de- nies that he applied for membership in Webster Lodge, No. 7, Knights of Pythias, and waa rejected because of his dissolute habits and cruel treatment of his family. He denies that his wife has always de- meaned herself as a good and dutiful wife, but charges that Mrs. Webster, on Febru- ary 2, 1893, removed to Washington, and was accompanied in her flight or remova! by one Walter Boult. He says that afte: a search of three weeks he found her re- siding there on Greenmount avenue in the vith Boult. He states that uently begged bis forgive- ness, which was granted for the sake of their children, and he permitted her to re turn to him May 17, 1803. He says that he owns a house and lot on Whitney avenue worth about $5,000, which, at the solicita- tion of his wife, he placed in her name. He asks that he be decreed to be the owner of the property. ——— Charles B. Elliott and Thomas H. Quails, the iatter colored, qualified as members of the police force today. Maron Jones, for carrying a pistol, was fined $50 or sixty days in jail by Judge Miller today, and an order for the destruc- tion of the weapon was made. The many friends of Miss Bessie L. Ma- hood, late of 1709 12th street, will be grieved to learn of her death in Bedford county, Va., on the iith instant. She was buried on the 13th instant at Richmond, Va. | IN HOTEL CORRIDORS “Maybe the fights past and to come be- tween the Japanese and Chinese war ves- sels will strengthen the opinion of a great many naval men that the monitor type is the best kind of fighting ship for either offensive or defensive purposes,” said a wrinkled faced veteran of the ward room at the Ebbitt last night. “I must confess my partiality for the monitor, despite the More than disagreeable features of a life abcard it. I remember well the engage- ment in Charleston harbor when Battery B and Forts Sumter and Moultrie were Pouring shot.and shell upon the monitors. I reckon every one of them was struck from sixty to a hundred times and yet none were sunk or permanently dis- The only modern weapon that would have effect of a vital character upon a monitor would be a torpedo, and naval science has already provided safeguards against the attack of vessels by this means that are well nigh perfect. There is not a cruiser belonging to the United States today that could not be sunk by a single well- directed shot. Yes, the New York is no excepticn to my assertion. With a monitor the chances are a thousand to one that a shot would .not get direct impact against it, especially in an ent where the turret would be almost constantly turning. These views will probably be laughed at by the yourg men who are now bullding the navies of the world, but some of them will live to see old Ericsson's ideas put in iron and steel again for the defense of our coasts and for battle purposes on the high Seas as well.” “I witnessed a very interesting incident when I was in Washington before, a couple of years ago,” said Francis T. Gray of St. Louis at the Ebbitt this morning, “and I have frequently laughed over the lesson it teught. I was strolling out onc of the broad avenues in the residence part of town—Connecticut, I think it was—well, a couple of Chinamen attired in robes of stik galt of their 1ace. The superior appearance of the celestials did not appear to affect a number of smatl boys who were loitering on a corner, for there was an immediate chorus of ‘Chinaman eat rats’ as approached. The Chinamen took no notice of the juveniles, who followed in their rear, continuing their shouting. Further up street a youth was standing walk and as the Chinamen evidently inspire@ by the boys, ask: what shirts were being washed at. parently thought the Chinamen know @ word of English. You can his discomfiture then when one of turned to him with an expression of and re- & i ' Fe Of salt deepest commiseration on his face marked in excellent United Stetes: “You seem to be a very low. What makes you such a d—d fool?” the republican party has made a good many of the boys go over old files and pull out stories about him, and the favorite one seems to be the tale about his wonderful luck in finding a match in a desolate Cali- fornia canyon that had no road in it and was seldom used as a channel for passage. You ar; familiar with the story,” continued the talker, who was a well-known news- paper man, to a group of gentiemen in the Riggs House. “Jones was at that time a county sheriff, and was going through the canyon, accompsnied by a deputy. Both Wanted to smoke worse than they ever did in their life, when they found they had no match or means of making a light after their pipes were filled. Looking around, what should Jones find lying among the wet rocks on the bottom of the canyon but @ match, and, in spite of its damp reclining place, it was all right, and gave the two their desired fire. Well, I can tell you a story of hard luck that is equally as won- derful and a good deal truer, for I never could believe that match story of Jones’. Along in the late 60's 1 was in New York, and one morniag I woke up, after having had only one meal in two days, to find my- self the possessor of a single five-cent piece I was as hungry as a bear, and entirely without valuables except my overcoat, and the weather was bitterly cold. I left my temporary lodging place a stranger in a Strange town, and walked up Broadway, in the hopes of meeting some one I kne' three or four hours I plodded back and forth, when suddenly a feminine voice called my name, and I was greeted by a young lady whose family I had known in Georgia. We chatted a minute or two, and she asked me to come over to Brool where they were living, befove I left New York. I said I was going to leave that evening, and, as 1 had hoped, she begged me to come over and take dinner that very day. I promiced, and she left me with the remark that they dined at 6. It was then barely noon, and I was nearly famished. The ferry fare to Bi Was then 3 cents, so I wandered down town toward the Wall street pier, and bought two with two cents out of my five. At last the time came to bark, and over to Brooklyn I went. My friends lived on Montague street, where the Wall street ferry boats land, and I was quickly at the house. delighted to see me, and asked a million questions, which I could give no connected answer to on account of the occasional clink of dishes in the dining room. That sound set me nearly crazy. At last dinner was announced. The father took his seat at the head of the table behind a big silver bow! of steaming soup. We were all helped, ool enough to sige when T hope: T msy to wi I die if my host didn’t fall back out of his chair, stricken with apoplexy. Of course, there was no more dinner; everything cited and hysterical, and i ‘3 made me sleepy. When I was awakened to pay the check I didn’t have a cent. I had been robbed while dozing. I was kicked out of the place. Talking about hard luck and out in the cold world, out in the street, I tell you I had enough of it in a few hours that time to last me all my life. I slept in an all-night lunch house, whose clerk took pity on me, that night, and next day man- aged to get a temporary job telegraphing; but it was a tough and awfu! experience. My old friend was buried two days after the dinner, but I couldn't go to the funeral because I didn’t have an overcoat.” ——_—___ PASTO! CONVENTION.

Naval Officers Expect Great Things From the Tests at Newport. Naval officers are expecting great things from their new small caliber magazine rifle. The board which will conduct the tests of the weapons meets at the Newport torpedo station a week from today. It ts not yet known how many weapons will be submitted to the competition, but the Navy Department has furnished thirty- two barrels of rifles to makers and inventors who have applied for them in order to apply their own breech mech- anisms. It is certain that several of the sreat European rifle makers will submit arms to test and the lst will include the Manlicher, the Krug-Jorgensen, the Mauser and the Dandetean. The last named is a uwew French gun, made by the Hotchkiss company, for which superior merit is claim- ed.
