Late last night Rudolph Strother was given an unpleasant surprise party when he returned to his home in Brown's court Southeast. Several members of the Marshall family were there waiting for him to set- tle an old score, and soon after he arrived there was a battle, in which household fur- niture and crockery figured. The result was that Strother’s head was painfully cut and bruised, and he was also injured about the bedy. He was sent to the Emergency Hos- pital and Charles and Henry Marshall were arrested. The case will be heard in the Police Court later in the week. ee An Ex-Policeman. Among the prisoners in the Police Court this morning was ex-Pollceman Clifford L. Grant, who is at present employed on the Metropolitan street railroad. Last night about midnight, after Grant's day’s work was finished, he visited Kaiser's saloon. He had been drinking and soon got into trouble. “A man in the place,” the officer told Judge Kimball, “said something about my connection with the police force and then @ remark about my being on my uppers.” He admitted that the temptation to strike the man was greater than he could resist. Poli nan Sullivan gave Grant an oppor- but he refused to do so, ¢ ame so bad that the r had to arrest him.

Reports Made to the Board of Direc- tors—The Completion of the Improvements. A meeting of the board of directors of the jarfleld Memorial Hospital was held yes- terday at the Kellogg building, the presi- dent, Mr. Justice Harlan, in the chair. Reports were read showing the opera- tions of the hospital during the previous year and the rapid growth of the institution during that time. The demand for accom- modations for patients has led to the open- ing of four wards since March of this year; these have filled as soon as ready, and there is still need of more room. During 1898, 515 patients were treated in the hospital. During nine months of 1894, from January to October, 573 were admit- ted. In January there were 36 admissions, in February 24, in April 43, in June 71, in July 91, in August S$ and in September 101, four times as many as in February. winter more patients, as a rule apply for treatment, and, if the coming winter is no exception, many will be turned away for want of beds for them. It is hoped: that a new wing may be soun erected to supply this need. ‘The cases treated come from nearly every state in the Union and from the city and county. Over sixty cases of typhoid fever aione were treated during the year, the larger number of these being admitted dur- ing July, August and September of this year. In one instance four members of one {amily suffering from typhoid fever wer Feceived and treated. When it is remem- bered that many of these cases were living under conditions which rendered recovery almost impossible in their own homes, being without the comforts and even the neces- sities of life, the amount of good done in the hospital wards, with the constant at- tention of physicians and trained nurses, may be understood. About 150 surgical operations, many of them of the most Important nature, were performed during the past eight months. So many applications were made to the hospital for treatment by poor patients,who were not ill enough to be admitted to the wards, that it was decided to begin a free dispensary service. This was opened July 12, 1804, and from that date to October 1, 403 cases have been treated. The New Building. The large central building erected for the administration and for the accommodation of the nurses has added greatly to the ar- chitectural beauty of the hospital and to the comfort of the business management. The training school, which is an important part of the work of the hospital, is also lo- cated here. The number of nurses on Feb- ruary 1 was fourteen, on October 1 twenty- seven. Regular instruction is given by a corps of lecturers and by the superinten- dent of the school, Miss Nevins, during the winter and spring months, and after a two years’ course of instruction the nurses re- ceive a diploma. Arrangements have been made with the Home for Incurables and with the Foundling Hospital by which pu- pil nurses of this school receive a part of their practical education in these institu- tions. Several improvements have been made in the grounds of the hospital. A graded winding road, guttered and graveled, has been made from Florida avenue. A terrace has been constructed in front of the admin- istration building, and a handsome marble fountain, the gift of Mr. H. A. Willard, placed there. The Ladies’ Ali Society has rendered val- uable service during the year. They have supplied thirty sets of bed room furniture, twenty for the nurses’ rooms and ten for ward C. They have also supplied linen for the wards and curtains and awnings for the new buildings. The rooms of the superin- tendert of the training school have been furnished throughout by Miss Edwards. The ladies have also in contemplation the erection of a new operating room, a build- ing that is much desired on account of the inconveniences of the present room. ‘A pathological department has been estab- lished for the purpose of scientific study. It is proposed to establish at no distant date a nurses’ directory and home in con- nection with the training school, lke the Bellevue Hospital directory, where trained nurses, graduates of the school and in- dorsed by the hospital, can be obtained at any time. ‘The Hospital Management.

On the 3d of last month one Nellie Brown was a witness in a case before the Police Court. The next day Dol- lie appeared In the clerk’s office of that court, and, pretending that she was Nellie Brown, received from the clerk a certificate of attenda: a witness. Doilie then presented the certificate to the auditor of the District, who pald her $1.25. Dollie was remanded to jail to await sentence, which will be from one to five years in the pent- tentiary. = He Claims Title. Agron Baldwin yesterday filed a bill in equity against Jennie K. Shay and others, heirs of the late Lena Baldwin, his wife, to establish his tile to sub lots 6, 59, 60 and 61, Mount Pleasant. The complainant claims that the property was purchased by him and placed in his wife, with the express understanding that she should will it to Bim, but that she died Intestate. THE TRIAL COMMENCED. Two Men Charged With Murdering Thos. Patterson. The trial of Henry Dasher and Casey Brooks, charged with murdering Thomas Patterson in March last, was commenced before Judge Cole, in Criminal Court No. 2, this morning. District Attorney Birney rep- resented the government, and ex-Congress- man John M. Langston of Virginia and Thos. L. Jones appeared on behalf of the accused. After getting but eleven jurymen in the box, with numerous challenges re- maining to both sides, the regular panel was exhausted, and the trial was adjourned until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, Judge Cole directing forty extra talesmen be drawn for the purpose of completing the jury. The killing of Patterson, it will be con- tended by the government, was a most brutal affair. He came here from New Jer- sey and was sald to have been a follower of the races. He and the accused, together with George Jones, all young colored men, met in a saloon on 1% 1-2 street, just below the avenue, on the night of the 3d of last March. They were all more or less under the influence of liquor, it is said, and Pat- terson, who was a stranger to the others, became involved in a_ discussion with Brooks, to whom he applied, {t is claimed, an insulting epithet. Patterson remained in the saloon some few minutes after the others passed out. When he did leave it, he was met just outside by Brooks and Dasher. Brooks, it is said, hit him in the head with a brick, knocking him down. As Patterson scrambled to his feet and ran off, Dasher cried out to Brooks, it is charged: “Kill the s of b—.” It is then claimed that Brooks again knocked Patterson down, when he and Dasher and Jones brutally beat and kicked the fallen man. Patterson died eight days later, and Brooks, Dasher and Jones were indicted for murder. The latter escaped, however, and has not yet been apprehended. a AMUSEMENTS. Albaugh’s Grand Opera House.—Marie Wainwright is deservedly one of the most popular of our legitimate actresses, and her appearance at Albaugh’s last night in her new play, “Daughters of Eve,” by A. E. Lancaster and Julian Magnus, was an event of many-sided interest. It is a cleverly-conceived and well-constructed play, possessing the distinct advantage of giving Miss Wainwright an opportunity to set forth in the best Hght the emotional powers which have contributed more than anythiag else in her work to make her the favorite that she undoubtedly is. Indeed, the interest of the drama is focused upon her impersonations with an intensity that make them stand out in exceptionally strong relief. Not only power but ver- satility is required in the portrayal of the dual role which falls to her as the prin- cipal of the cast. The story does not spare the heartstrings of the auditor, and while it plays upon the emotiors with vigor, the towch Is deft and discriminating. The com- pany includes people of ability, and gives them opportunity for the best that they can do in most cases. The size of the audi- ence gave earnest of the esteem in which Miss Wainwright is held professionally, and the enthusiasm manifested was such as to leave no doubt as to the acceptability of her new play. Tne Academy of Music.—The “Ensign” has been produced with excellent results in this city before, and its coming to the Academy of Music last night was an occa- sion for which liberal consideration at hands of the public was assured. The play combines melodramatic strength with his- tric interest, It gives opportunity for strong emotional work, and while its heroics are emphatic, they are not pressed to the dangerous point, where the sublime is liable to a collapse into the ridiculous. The title role was assumed in a able manner by M james Brophy. mainder of the cast is made up of people who are amply equipped for all that falls to their share. The New National Theater.—Donnelly and Girard and their farce comedy are too well known to require description. The com- pany, the music and the various episodes which go to make up the “Ri rs” afoused the hilarity at the National Theater last night which customarily attends the efforts of these comedians to amuse. Some very clever people are introduced, with specialties of more than ordinary interest. The “Rainmake strictly analyzed, ac- cording to artistic standards, is not likely to prove highly gratifying, but to this, as to many other farce-comedy productions, the old quotation applies: “For anybody who likes that sort of thing, it is just about the sort of thing he likes.” The Bijou.—That thrilling melodrama, “The Still Alarm,” is the attraction at the Bij: this week. Last night it opened to excellent bu: S, and there is every In- dication that it will prove the best attrac- tion of the season. Although the play has been seen here before, it was never pre- sented by so strong a company, and this fact of itself adds to the formance. Edwin F. M as Jack Manley, the fire- man_ hero, was excellent, and made a de- cided hit. Miss Ma: inared the honors of the evening, and gave a strong portrayal of the heroine. The engine house scene in the third act was startling and realistic. There was a genuine turn-out of the com- pany to a fire in this act, and the handsome Arabian horses took their places in front of the engine like real fire horses, Kernan's Lyceum Theatef.—Weber and Fields’ Own Company, which is filling a week's engagement at Kernan’s Theater this week, opened last night to a crowded house. And the organization deserved the applause of the audience, for without doubt the performance is one of the strongest variety entertainments on the road, and certainly the best show seen at Kernan’s this season. Miss Lottie Gilson, the bright little soubrette, completely captured the audience, and received an ovation. Her repertoire includes several new songs. Le Clair and Leslie contributed a new act, in which Mr. Leslie won new laurels for him- self. Weber and Fields as the German Senators were better than ever. Falke and Semons did a clever musical turn, and Jas. F. Hoey, a brother of “Old Hoss,” set every one roaring with laughter. A funny bur- lesque ends the performance. —_->__ Grand Commandery, K. of T. ‘The Grand Commandery of K. T. for the D. C. met in its annual grand conclave at Masonic Hall, Virginia avenue and 5th street southeast, last night. After trans- acting considerable business appertaining to the order the following grand officers were elected and installed: Sir L. H. Wayne, R. E. G. commander, fourth term; Sir E. P. Minor, V. E. D. G. commander; Sir P. B. Merridth, BE. G. generalissimo; Sir P. H. Simmons, E. G. captain general; Sir W. H. Severson, E. G. prelate; Sir H. C. Harris, E. G. senior warden; Sir G. W. Phillips, E.

Five small boys, Paul Middlesworth, Lewis Van Reuth, Kirby Cook, Bud Nelson and Lemuel Miller, were arraigned. yesterday morning in the Police Court on the charge of throwing micsiles. Van Reuth, Cook and Nelson were fined, and Miller was released on his personal bonds, but Middlesworth, at the request of his father, was sentenced to the reform school. This.was early in the morning, but the boy was.not removed from the Police Court until 5 o'clock in the after- noon. During the greater portion of that time he was confined in one of the cells, in company with all sorts and conditions of prisoners. The boy was badly frightened and cried and screamed during the greater portion of his confinement. Warrant Clerk Washburn of the Police Court stated for publication that nearly al- wa when boys are sentenced to the re- form school by the court, it is usually 5 o'clock, and sometimes 6 o'clock and 7 o'clock, before the authorities at the reform school send for them. It has also been stated that the Police Court authorities have made a number of complaints to the reform schoo! with regard to the alleged dilatory methods pursued in removing boys to that institution, President Falls Explains. A Star reporter called on President A. J. Falls of the reform school today in relation to the matter. “I feel very much aggrieved and indignant that such a statement as the one in relation to Paul Middlesworth should have been given to the public,”’ said Presi- dent Falls, “and especially so because the school is in no wise to blame. “The facts are these: Years ago it was customary, when boys were sentenced to the reform school by the police or criminal courts, to turn them over to the marshal. The latter committed them to jail, where they were often contined for days, and sometimes for weeks. When two or three boys had been secured they were hand- cuffed together and sent to the school, in charge of an officer of the jail or a deputy marshal. When at the school I have more than once seen two or three very small boys delivered there, handcuffed together, scared almost to death and treated as old and hardened criminals. “To avoid this inhuman treatment,” con- tinued President Falls, “a number of years ago I informed the judges of the Police Court that I would direct the superinten- dent of the reform school to send for any boys who might be sentenced from there, and since that time that method has been carried out. The reform school wagon comes to the city each day directiy after dinner, and usually calls for the boys be- tween 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock. It is possible that in some cases there may have been a delay of an hour. “It is not the duty of the school authori- tles to send for the boys, but as an act of humanity, to avoid having small boys sent to jail and then handcuffed together like cattle and in that manner taken to the re- form school, as I said before, I directed that the school wagon should transport them. On more than one occasion we have en- deavored to dispatch the wagon for the boys immediately upon receiving the telephone message that they were awaiting us, but it has occurred several times that when the wagon has come in from one call it was necessary to respond to a second one with- out delay. We have but one wagon and are obliged to use it for other purposes than carrying boys to the school. “I hardly presume that the reform school is responsible,” President, Falls went on to say, “for the alleged filthy condition of the cells in which the boys are.confined before being sent to the school, or for the com- pany they are required to keep while at the Police Court. Doubtless Warrant Clerk Washburn is correct in saying that it is somewhat late in the day when the boys are sent for, but the wagon calls just as early as is possible. We do the very best we can in this direction; but if the Police Court authorities or the authorities of the marshal's office will promptly send to the school such boys as may) be sentenced by the court, without handeuffs and without first removing them to jail, the school authorities will gladly release themselves ficm this duty and responsibility, and place it where it belongs. “It would appear that the case of Paul Middlesworth was that of a very bad boy, and it might have been the duty of those in authority to have stopped the unnecessary noise he was making and not have allowed the peace, quiet and comfort of the other prisoners to be disturbed by the terrible youngster. The Rev. Dr. Seymour, bishop of Spring- field, 111, will be at the Hamilton House on Wednesday next, 10th instant.
