He was sixty-two years of age, and was well known in this ¢fty and New York. He had held the position of manager for Munn & Com- pay, here for twenty-six years, and had n with the firm thirty years. He was a man of considerable means, and a member of the Masonic fraternity. Mr. Gridley’s wife died about five years ago, and he had no children.

Geriah Lamkins, pastor of Salem Baptist Church, Champlain avenue north- west, and wife were the happy recipients of quite a number of handsome presents yesterday from the members of his church, the most noted among which was a beau- tiful oak hall rack, with a large French mirror. They had it resting on a new car- pet, which they selected for the purpose. ‘The rack and carpet were presented by the Pulpit Club, which is composed of the fol- lowihg members: Mrs. C.

A bill in equity was filed today by Wm. L. Follmer against the British-America As- surance Company of Toronto, Canada, for Whe purpose of reforming and correcting ® certain policy issued to the complainant by the company. The policy, dated August 19, 1893, insured Mr. Folimer against loss by fire for cne year from July 17, 1898, on a certain building at Takoma Park, D.C. The building was age erected and owned by him and a m. Watkins, and was totally destroye by fire on the 2th of last December. Khe policy tssucd by the company ‘provided, among other things, that if the insured should insure the same property in anoth- er company, or if his interest be other than that of sole and unconditional ownership, or if the property be on ground not owned by him in fee simple, the policy should be void. Mr. Follmer owned, he states, six- gevenths of the building, and also had it insured in other companies, Mr. Watkins ewning the ground upon which it was erected, Mr. Follmer alleges that the agent of the fendant company was informed of all e facts in the matter, and, claiming that e policy, through error and inadvertence, as not so altered and amended as to se- @ure him, prays that ft be so reformed and @orrected as to agree with the original @greement,“and that he be given judgment for the amount of the policy—$1,000. —_— se Smali's New Year's Flowers.

They Were Charged With Offenses and Were Dealt With Their Deserts, Various According to “7-11-17” is the policy row some of Judge Kimball's prisoners would haye played this morning had a policy writer visited the cells, for there were seventy-seven prisoncrs locked up, seven of them being women and eleven being small boys. But it is a violation of lew to-play policy in the District, and the prisoners had to take the chances of getting out in time to go across the river for the evening drawing, for over the river gambling is conducted without even the slightest idea of an offi- cer interrupting the game. Soon after 9 o'clock Judge Kimball ap- peared on the scene, and the procession started. There were in the line policy players, crap shooters and some who do not indulge in such games. The sore and swollen heads were numerous, but there was no suspicion that they were caused by anything richer than beer or whisky, cases that brow an prisoner had in a had fight. Admitted He Was Drunk. When the first case was called a+young man dressed in a new suit of clothes, a pair of light-colored trousers and ‘dark coat and vest, appeared. He answered to the name of Peter Maloney, but he thought he was not guilty of the charge of dis- orderly conduct. He was arrested on Baltimore street about 2 o'clock this morning. ‘When I saw him,” said the officer in the case, “he was running after a colored woman.” Peter did not seem to recollect this little episode. “I was drunk,” he said, “and stopp2d at a house on Baltimore street because I didn’t want to go home. Being hungry, I went out to get something to eat, and the policeman arrested me.” “Five dollars.” Some amusement was caused by the ap- pearance of Frank Stewart, a deaf and dumb young man, against whom there was @ charge of disorderly conduct and cursing and swearing. His blue necktie and red face distinguished him from the other pris- oners, and when informed of the = “I don’t see how a deaf and dumb man can be guilty of swearing.” Policeman Mohl came to the stand smil- ing, and he added to the amusement. “We heard dem men cursing and swear- in’ all der way up der sthreet, yer honor,” said the German policeman, “and dis man vas hollerin’ like a bear in der woods.” There was some confusion in court, and when the court called for another state- ment of the deaf and dumb man’s part of the disorder the policeman laughed and re- peated the bear in the woods story. “Take his personal bonds and let him go.”" said the judge to the clerk. “I can't take his bonds,” the clerk said; “the man can’( hear what I say.” “Then let the case be dismissed. ‘Thomas Shea was drunk yesterday, and when he reached Daley's saloon on North Capitol street he went in and called for a drink. Daley told him he had enough and refused to furnish him anything. No soon- er had he refused than the intoxicated man grabbed a bottle and threw it through the window. “When I appeared on the scene,” said Policeman Creagh, “Shea was on the side- walk, helpiessiy drunl “T don't remember anything about the affair,” said Shea. “Why not?” “I was drunk,” ‘A man who is drunk,” “is likely to do anything.” “That's so.’ “Five dollars. These Boys Had Been Drinking. Wiley Jordan and Joseph Scott, colored, one fifteen ycars old and the other seven- teen years, were in the procession because they were disorderly on a grip car last evening. Although so young the boys were under the influence of liquor and one of them said that the other one bought the whisky in a saloon on 14th street. e “What sort of a man do you expect to be when you commence drinking so early in life?” the court asked. “[ wasn’t drunk,” the younger , boy answered. “But you had been drinking?” “Yes, sir.” The boys were on a grip car blowing horns and the conductor asked them to make less noise, as he could not hear the bell ring. Instead of complying with the conductor’s request the boys became pro- fane and abusive, and the court fined them each $10 or thirty days. Tom Wade, colored, thought he would have some fun with an intoxicated white man near 3d and K stre2ts yesterday and as the result of his good-natured conduct a peliceman arrested him. Tom denied most of the evidence against him and stated a conversation he had with the man. “What do you do?” he said the man asked Bim. “T'se a watchman, “A special?” indeed; I’se a private watchman, said the court, Lis,” was his response. His personal bonds were taken. Richard Dunton, a colored man, was called to answer a charge of destroying private property. He plead guilty and was about to be fined the usual amount when Police Bremmerman, thinking $5 was not announced, “I want to say some- His story of the arrest was intended to show that Dick was guilty of several of- ferses, but the judge made the fine only $5 and told the officer if he had any other charges to make he would have to prefer them in the regular way. “Guilty,” was the plea of an elderly man named Clarence Chase, who was arrested for getting intoxicated and lying on the sidewalk. Policeman Duvall told of the old man’s Christmas celebration and of how he ended the day in the station. Costly Brick Throwing. Frank Conway, a stranger in the city, wes in the procession because he threw a brick through a large plate glass window at Scheller & Stevens’ drug store. “Guilty,” replied the man, “but I would like to make itatement.” “What is it?” “I was asleep in the doorway,” he said, “and when a inan tried to steal my hat I threw a brick at him. The brick missed the man and vent through the window.” “I was informed,” said Policeman Goss, “that h easked a man for money, and ——" brick at him because he was re- ‘used ao you pay a fine?” the judge asked “No, sir.” ‘Then you can’t settle for the window?” “Not very well.” A fine of $20 was imposed, and the judge said he hoped the $75 window was insured. James B. Murray, another stranger, was charged with being a vagrant. He sald “guilty.” “This man was begging on Pennsylvania avenue,” said Policeman Carrison, “and when refused he was abusive and pro- fane.” Thirty days. Following these came a number of other including vagrants, disorderly persens and persons who had violated other laws governing the District. >—_ Admirers of highly artistic workman- ship are invited to examine a special de- sign piano by Wm.

Nelson of the first pre- cinct had an unpleasant experience last night at the house of George Roth, a car- penter, No. 705 I street northwest. Maggie Roth, the carpenter's wife, was in a dan- gerous condition, and her appearance led a doctor to believe that she had been cele- brating Christmas by taking too many doses of liquid refreshments. The woman was frothing from the mouth, her hand was cut and she was unconscious. The pcliceman remained in the room some time, but the patient made things so unpleasant that he left the house and returned to his beat. Still he was uncertain about the wo- mun’s condition, and so he returned in a short time to make further inquiries. The patient had then regained consciousness and was able to make a serious accusation against her husband, who, about two years ago, it is said, attempted to shoot her. Ac-- ccrding to her complaint, her husband be- gan his Christmas celebration two weeks ago and has been celebrating ever since. Last evening, she said, when he came home, still under the influence of liquor, he attempted to use a razor on her throat. Instead of quietly submitting to the big, strong man, the little woman showed fight and finally succeeded in disarming him, al- though her hand was slightly injured. See- ing he could not end her existence with the razor, she says he grabbed a bottle of household ammonia and forced her to drink some of the fluid. Her throat is badly burned and her face shows the result cf the overdose of the ammonia. While Policeman Nelson was in the room awaiting developments, and Dr. Kirby was doing all in his power to relieve the suffer- ing woman, the husband entered, and re- marked: “She's dead; send for the under- taker and let’s bury her right now.” Instead of sending for the sorrel the officer arrested the husband and took kim off to the first precinct station. The pris- oner was locked up. He was uncertain about his movements and actions, although he declared that he had not used the am- monia or attempted to use the razor. ‘This morning Mrs, Roth was much bet- ter, although she is still very sick and un- able to leave her bed. She was well enough, however, to inform the officer that she will not appear in court against her husban¢ “You may do with him what you pleas she said to the officer. “I am going to leave him, but I will not prosecute him.” It is likely that Roth will be discharged. —— A SUNDAY SCHOOL FESTIVAL. An Interesting Entertainment at the First Congregational Church. An immense crowd gathered at the First Congregational Church last evening to wit- ness the exercises, and hundreds were turned away, being unable to gain admit- tance. The program opened with a motion ex- ercise by the primary department, under the charge of Miss Coleman, with Miss | Stickell at the piano. ‘The cantata “The Tables Turned” was then rendered by fifty scholars of the Sun- day school. The principal characters were taken by Dr. J. P. Lewis, as Santa Claus; Miriam Stoddart, as Erminia, the chief of the Snowflakes; Ralph Johnson, as Jack Frost, the chief of the Frost Sprites; Haiph Clark, as Norman, and Hattie Hoover, Dorothy, all of whom, together with the twenty-four children of the nations, had been under the special training of Prof. J. H. Vermilya, and sang and acted their parts like veterans. A great hit of the evening was the tableau of the “Christ- mas Star,” while a quartet behind the scenes sang a selection of the same name. This was followed by the children hanging up an immense stocking for Santa Claus, while singing, out of which he takes 4 lit- the child as his Christmas present, Ruthie McManus, who took the part of Christmas Joy. Great credit is due Mr. and Mrs, W. A. Flint for their efforts in preparing the solos and choruses, the latter presiding at the piano. The cantata was followed by an enter- tainment in emotional studies, by Miss Walsh, given to music, the singing being by Miss Elsie Bond, and the whole under calcium light. After the exercises were over, all present were treated to a box of candy. The contributions for the poor were very liberal, over $30 in money and hundreds of packages being brought in. This Sunday school is one of the largest in the city, and is under the charge of Jerome F. Johnson, as superintendent. —_-— CHURCH HISTORY, Papers to Be Read Before the Ameri- can Society.

The officers of the third police precinct made an investigation of the fight at 2zd and L streets Monday night, in which a colored man named Walter Johnson was stabbed in the abdomen and painful- ly wounded, and made a number of arrests. The wounded man is still in the hospital, and it will probably be several days before he will be able to attend court. Charles Young, who is charged with the cutting, was committed to jail today to await the result of Johnson's injuries. Jesse Baden, D. H. Massey, James Har- ris, William Tibbs, William Lee and Will- iam Lewis were arrested for alleged dis- orderly conduct. They were tried in the Police Court today and acquitted, because of a defective information.

There were-@evdn arrests made in this precinct during: the official day ending at 8 o'clock this morning. They were mostly for intoxicatiom amd disorderly conduct.

Struck by a Cary An old white man named Patrick Murphy was found lying close to the tracks of the Georgetown and Tenleytown railroad last night with an extended cut across his nose, wide and bleeding. He had, from his story, run into a moving car. He was intoxi- cated and unable to elude it after having been thrown through one of his reeling movements. It seems that the motorman, whoever it was, had not seen the old fellow at the time. When found the patrol was sent for and the old man carried to the Emergency. Sixteen stitches were neces- sary to close the wound. Murphy is a resi- dent of the county, The injury will not result very seriously, though the expression of the face will in all probability be changed and the dis- figurement last him for life. On the Bridge. A man named Timothy Connors, a driver, became insanely drunk yesterday and acted violently toward every one with whom he came in contact, He had friends in a condition scarcely less intense. In their in- toxicated promenade they came upon Wm. Hunter, alias “Sonny,” on the Aqueduct bridge. Connors, it is alleged, approached him and jeered insultingly. Hunter turned away, unwilling to assist.in the making of a scene. He was followed by Connors, it is alleged, and he reinforced with his com- parions. Hunter was struck and hurt, and he defended himself. In the midst of it Officer Brown, one of the oldest on the force, an original appointee, who charge of the bridge, approached. In arrest- ing Connors a struggle was necessary. The law conquered, though, and Cornors was brought to the station. He was charged with disorderly conduct and assault and battery. Notes, The Chevy Chase riders yesterday hunted @ live and lively fox. He was let loose from the club house at 10 o'clock. The field was large and sport more than usually enjoyed. —- MISS SNOWDEN’S DEATH. Sad Result of an Accident at Laurel. Miss Bessie H. Snowden was wounded near Laurel, Md., Sunday evening by the accidental discharge of a pistol, and died yesterday at her home, “Snowden Hall,” in Prince George's county. Her death was caused by nervous shock to her system, and not by the wound. The accident oc- curred while Braith Mitchell of Washing- ton was removing empty shells from a pistol with which he had been firing at a target. One loaded ‘shell was still in the pistol, and this went off, striking Miss Snowden in the abttomen.’ She never ral- lied trom the shock. The funeral will take place tomorrow morning, servioes being held at St. Phil- lip's Church, Laurel, at 11 o'clock. Car- riages will meet the 0:30 train from Wash- ington and the 0:16 train from Baltimore. <> »0 Marty Promises, Samuel Burgee said today that he would promise never again:to abuse his wife.
