The schooner Nellie has arrived here from Norfolk, with a cargo of 140,000 feet of yellow pine lumber for J. Edward Lib- bey. She was obliged to secure the ser- vices of a towing tug as far down as In- dian Head, formidable ice extending that far. River men say it is very unusual for the first freezing snap to affect the Poto- mec to this extent. The Nellie will leave the Georgetown port as soon as she can @ischarge her cargo. Georgetown is con- sidered a dangerous place for captains to winter in. Here the full force of ice fresb- ets is always felt, the wharves lying right in the track of the ice sweep. Washing- ton wharves are protected in a great mea ure, lying in a sort of inlet. Georg not only gets all the upper Potom but frozen lumps of both the Monocacy and Shenandoah rivers in addition. Station Keeper Melton Fisher was called from his desk this morning by an alarm- Ing change in his wife's condition. Mrs. Fisher was ¢tricken with paralysis of the brain about ten days ago. Her recovery Is extremely doubtful. — NOT THOUGHT OF. Socal Ha: Judge Bradicy Laughs at a Resigning Story. Judge Bradley df the District Su Court was very much amused when his at- tention was called today to a report that he would resign his position on the bench for the purpose of resuming the practice of law. “How in the world,” remarked Judge Bradley to a Star reporter, “such a story originated I cannot imagine. I have cer- tainly not said or done anything to war- rant such a report. I am perfectly well satistied where I am, and you may say that I have not the slightest intention of resign- ing. The story that | contemplated resign- ing had no other foundation than pure im- agination.” —_-—— An Invaluable Hand Book.

Most of the Charges Were Drunk and Disorderly and Nearly All Were Found Guilty. This was the morning after New Year, and Juige Kimball had plenty to do. Yes- terday everybody was getting ready to go calling, and this morning they had made their calls and needed a little bromide, which fs furnished on the farm. Theré were only thirteen in the tois‘yesterdayy: but tolay forty-seven callers , gnswered. The first to respond was a man named George A. Morris, and he answered, “I be- Meve I'm guilty,” when arraigned for ob- structing the sidewalk on New Jersey ave- nue, “But I would like to speak,” added the prisoner, whose appearance showed the effects of his over-indulgence yesterday. “Whet do you want to say?” the court asked. ‘I hepe your honor will let me go this time,” he answered. “I’ve lived here thirty years, and this is the first time I was ever brought into court.” “But you were drinking yesterday,” the judge said, “and the officer found you ly- ing across the sidewalk.” “I know that, your honor,” said the pris- oner; “but if you let me off I'll go and take the pledge.” “And keep it?” the court asked. a “Yes, your honor.” “ You may go.” ay Must Keep Off the Grass. Waskington Scott, a young colored man, on his way to work from South Washing ton this morning, thought he would take & short cut across the grass-in Henry Parl," but Park Watchman Henry, who saw him, placed him under arrest and prevented his going to his service place. ’ “I was due at work at 8 o'clock,” said the priscner, “but it’s after time now. “Thai's your own fault,” the court said. “There are paths in the parks to walk on, and it is not necessary to injure the grass." “[ have had lots of trouble with people walking over the grass there,” said the watchman, “and warning didn’t seem to do them any good.” “Then you had better bring them all into court,” the judge said, “and perhaps they will thon heed the warning.” Scott was releasod and cautioned to be more cireful in the future. ; Charles Scott, an Anacostia colored man, next appeared, and said guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct. “I'm working,” he said, “and if you will give me time I'll pay the fine. He was informed that the court was no longer doing a credit business, and so he went back. AK Two strangers, Joha Mansfield and James Brown, were in the precession because they. have no home here. The proof indicated that they have no heme at any other place. “They came to the station last evening and asked for lodging,” said -Policeman Donogtue. “De yeu know anything about them?” the court asked. “They had been begging and had their pockets filled with grub,” the policeman respor ced. te Vhat did they have to say?” “They said they had just struck the town and had no place to stop.” “Ten ‘days each.” Edward Jones was found asleep in An- derson’s printing office on Pennsylvania avenue late last night.

Frank Maguire, who is well known in court, next appeared, on a charge of va- grancy, and said ‘‘not guilty.” Singular as it may seem, there was no policeman in court who knew him. > “He come to the station last night unler the influence of liquor,” said an- officer, “and asked for lodging.” “How frequently have you seen him un- der the influence of liquor?” the court asked “1 don't know the man.” “What, don’t know Frank Maguire?” asked | the judge. sir.”* t have you to say?” the judge d nk. nt no use for me io say anything,” day ed woman named Laura Delan who celebrated in Louse alley last night, was fr, the toils as a vagrant, and she had been there many times before.

The produc- tion would probably be more satisfactory Df the author had contented himself with the development of some one phase of Na- oleon’s life. As it is, an impression of [disappotntedness is left on the mind, which [was rot made less by tedious waits between }the acts. Four of the scenes deal with the sadder periods of the emperor's life. The first, hewever, shows him in the height of power after the conquest of Prussia. Fol- lowing tlis come disjointed scenes show- ing the abdication, a scene at Elba, the night before Waterloo and Napoleon's death at St. Helena. Two paintings are intreduccd as drop curtains showing the flight from Moscow and the end of Water- lo0,,0f which the less said the better. Mr. Mansfield himself in his portrayal of the character exciting so much interest at pres- ent shows the evidence of deep and care- ful'study. His mannerisms are somewhat in evidence, but the pale, strong, historical Napoleon is before the audience at all times. The company, as usual, affords Mr. Manstieid excellent support. In response to numerous requests d repe- tition of “Arms and the Man” owill be given at an extra matinee on Fria after- noon. Tonight Mr. Mansfield will be seen in His fine impersonation of Baron Chevrial, in “A Parisian Romance ‘Madame Sans Gene.”—Augustus Pitou’s production of “Madame Sans Gene,” which first saw the light at Albaugh’s Opera House, and which scored such an instan- taneous success, Will be presented at that place of amusement next week. Wherever the play has been seen the favorable ver- dict of the Washington public has been confirmed, and its success in other cities has been fully as great as it was here. ‘The interest that this play excited during its first production will undoubtedly be revived next week, and it is safe to as- sume that the attendance will be large at every performance.- The same excellent’ company, headed by Miss Katharyn Kidder, will be seen in the cast. ‘The sale of seats will commence toniorro' A Flag of Truce—Walter Sanford will bring his latest scenic play, “A Flag of ‘Price’ to Butler’s New Btjou Theater next week. The excellence of this story of love and war was proven by its success- ful run at the Fourteenth Street Theater in New York. It 1s well-written, strong and clear in every scene, and is replete with realism of an exciting nature, while the comedy scenes, introduced at oppor- tune moments, serve to relieve the more thrilling passages. It abounds in pictures of stage realism. One scene is remarkable for its accuracy, a mammoth stone quarr: where a trained crew of skilled quarry men are operating, and where genuine steam drills are boring their way through blocks of real granite, a massive derrick hoists poncerous boulders weighing over a ton, by means of two 5-horse power engines working the machinery. One of Mr. San- ford’s best companies. will be seen in the ckst, among them many names familiar to theater-goers. The Rentz Santley Burlesque Co.—The Rentz Santley Novelty and Burlesque Com- pany will be Manager Kernan’s attraction for next week. This well-known organiza* tion is this season composed of entirely new features, among which is a new series of elaborate Living Pictures. The company is one of excellence, comprising a number of burlesque and vaudeville favorites, among whom are Miss Lottie Elliott, the burlesque queen; Teddy and Clara Simonds, comedy artists; Howard and Williams, the comedians; Miss Clara Simpson, the charm- ing vocalist; Leslie and Tenley, grotes- quers; Edith’ Lemonte, Marion Blake, Delta Hosko, the St. Clair sisters and the Webb jsters. Venus and Apollo, a spectacular burlesque, will mark the closing feature of the p 3 Geor; ‘a.—On Friday even- ing at Metzerott Music Hall the George- town Orchestra will give its first concert this season, but it will be the forty-eighth convert given by this organization during the fifteen years of its existence. The or- chestra now numbers sixty musicians, and under the leadership of Mr. Herman Rake- mann has improved even beyond its for- mer high standard of work. The program will be ove of the best that has ever been presented and will enable the orchestra to be heard to excellent advantage. It will inelude at least one number that will be played from manuscript. The assistants will. be Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes, soprano, who will sing two numbers, one’ being the cavatina from “Ernani,” with orchestral accompaniment; Mr. John Porter La rence, pianist, who will play a Liszt Fan- tasia, and Miss Anita Cluss, harpist. Seats are now on sale at Metzerott’s. Masonic*Temple.—Prof. Asa 8. Boyd will deliver two lectures at Masonic Temple, the first betng tonight on “Memory and Its Improvement.” Prof. Boyd holds that the memory, with but little effort, can be im- proved to an astonishing degree, and he points to many living examples of the effi cacy of his system. Admission will be free. Willard Hall.—There. will be a musica! and @ramatic entertainment at Willard Hall tomorrow night, the cblef feature of which will be Miss Ida Florence of Boston, an elocutionist of high reputation, who will be heard. in selections well calculated to dis- play her power and versatility. She will be assisted by Mrs. Kitty Thompson-Berry, soprano, the Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar Club, the Elite Dramatic Club, Mr. C. Garvin Gilmaine, impersonator, and other local talent. The affair is under the pat- ronage of a number of society ladies, and the proceeds will be devoted te charity. The C_C. Course.—Gen, Lew Wallace, the distinguished soldier, author and diplomat, will appear at Metzerott Music Hall next Monday evening, January 7, and read from his own works. . Wallace is the author of the immortal “Ben Hur,” and returns to the platform for only a short season. The Washington public will probably never have another opportunity to listen to this great novelist, as he reads sketches from his own incomparable writings. An exceedingly at- tractive program has been arranged, in- cluding the famous “Charlot Race.” Gen. Wallace gives the third evening of the C. Course, and, judging from the present de- he will be greeted by a mand for ticke' crowded house.

Three grand jury eases were disposed of in Judge Miller’s court today, and the {ve defendants in them were committed to jail. Frenk Streets, Wglter Hurdle and George Mallay, the young<men arrested on a charge of smashing the show window of J. W. Brookes’ store om Pennsylvania avenue and stealing a quantity: of underwear, as published in yesterdayts Star, were ar- raigned. Streets plead mot guilty, and his covhpanions plead guilty; The court heard evidence enough topconnect Streets with the transaction, and all three prisoners were held in $500 each for the grand jury. This is the casc in which the plunder was sold at auction at Jacksen City. Patrick Bolden was given a hearing on a charge of housebreaking at the house of Mary Landgraf, No. 101@ 2th street. It is charged that he entered the house and stole a pair of trousers. The case was sent to the grand jury, and bond was fixed at 500. Charles D. Davis, a colored bootblack, nineteen years old, was in the toils on a charge of larceny from the person. It was charged that he robbed Edward W. Kinsey of about $100. Policeman Sweet made the arrest and recovered most of the money. The prisoner plead guilty, and was com- mitted in default of $1,000 bail. pata oan A Last Look at the Binine House. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Today there were a great many people trying to gain admittance to the historic old house now called ‘the Blaine mansion,” which {s°to be torn down. There are a great many who are desirous of getting a last look at the interlor of the house and who will cheerfully pay a small admission fee. Now, does it appear to you that the lessees of the property might be induced to have the building thrown open to the pub- lic on three or four evenings and donate the receipts to the charitable organizations of the city? Very respectfully, W. L. B. a The Conductor Denies. To the Editor of ‘The Evening Star: In The Star of last Monday a statement apeared to the effect that the Washington Monument was in an uncleanly condition by reason of the spitting of tobacco juice. upon the landings by the elevator conduc- tor. As I happen to occupy that position, I desire to say that at no time have I ever been guilty of such a breach of good man- ners. I have always endeavored to be po- lite and gentlemanly to the thousands of persons whom I have carried safely to and from the top of the monument, and if any such practice as is described has occurred it must have been done by the visitors who walk up to the top or down to the bottom and over whose actions I, of course, have no control.
