BE, Richardson were held yesterday af- ternpon at the family residence,1106 L street northwest. ‘The house was filled with rela- tives and friends, including many men well along in life, who gathered, regardless of the inclement weather, to pay a last tribute of affection and respect to one with whom they had been associated for years. A number of friends sent beautiful floral remembrances. it was the wish of the dead man that the rites over him should be simple and without ostentation. The Rev. Dr. Chester of Capitol Hill conducted the ceremonies, according to the Presby- terian form. In his sermon he paid a warm tribute to the dead man, whom he had known intimately for many years. ‘The body was then taken to the Rock Creek cemetery, where, after brief services, it was laid to rest in the family vault. The honorary pall-bearers were Mr. George H. B, White, Mr. George C. Gorham, Col. Lieweliyn Washington, Mr. H. Clay Stew- art, Judge S. #. Phillips and Mr. Le Preaux. —.__ Naval Orders. Lieut. E. D.

William Hartman and Edward Lewis were not at the police ball last night, but they led the grand march in Judge Kim- ball’s court this morning and said “not guilty” when arraigned on a charge of vagrancy and suspicion. The young men were well dressed and had been arrested by Detectives Weedon and Horne because of their alleged connection with a crooked transaction at the Alexander Island race track. They came from New York to spend their time about the race track, and the officers have seen them over there a number of times. “They are known as ‘contouts,’ said Detective Weedon, who also told of their conduct about the race track. “Have they any means of support here?” the judge asked. “None whatever,” the officer responded. In making their statements to the court the men admitted that they came here be- cause of race track aftraction and had been over at the track almost every day. “I have given men tips on the races, said Hartm:n, “and had them bet money, but I’ve not done anything wron, “Where are you from?” he was asked. “New York,” was his response; ‘‘and I have a wife, child and mother to support.” “And what about you?” Lewis was asked. “I’m a theatrical man, friend of Hart- man’s,” he answered, and he denied that he had been doing anything wrong. “We have no use here for such men as you,” the judge told them. “This city is getting to he a great gathering place for such people, and I will say now that there is no rocm here for men who get their living by their wits.” “If you let us go this time,” said one of the prisoners, ‘we will leave the city and return to New York.’ “But,” said Judge Kimball, “we want men of your stripe to understand that an means more than getting out of the “If your honor will release them,” said one of the officers, “I'll see that they leave the city.” They were thereupon released. Was Indifferent. Charles Smith, also a stranger, was in the procession as a vagrant, and he seemed totally indifferent concerning the action of the court. He is sixteen years old. He says he is from Ohio, but is bound for no par- ticular place. ‘How long have you been here?” he was acked. ‘One week,” was his response. “Where have you been since you left home “No place in particular.”” “Why don’t you return home?” “I have written to my father, and am waiting for an answer.” He said he expected his letter to be sent to a saloon on Louisiana avenue, and he had to select the saloon, as at other places he had been refused. “Do you expect amy money from home?” “No, sir.” ‘Then you had better start to walk et the judge told him. “Well said the boy, “I'll do whatever you sa} and he started to walk home. There were four defendants in the next case, and they are all strangers here. Last night they went to the station and asked for a night’s lodging. They were accom- modated. We came here,on our way to Newport News,” said one of the men, speaking for his companions and himself. “Why are you going there?” the court eked. “To look for work.” What kind of work?” n the ship yards.’”” The other men had nothing to say, and the court gave them ten days each. A man thought to be an Italian was in the procession for vagrancy. He was in Mount Pleasant begging and Policeman McDonald, who arrested him, was unable to understand what he said. An interpreter called by the court sug- gested the belief that the man’s mind is unsound, and he was committed for a mental examination. Was Sent Down. Michael Poore, a resident of this city, was in court today because of his intem- perate habits. “He's becn drinking for some days,” Po- liceman Lynch told the court. “His broth- er keeps a store, and if he would work there he would have a good home, but he | prefers loafing about the streets to doing a little work.” Michael was satisfied to go down, and the judge gave him ten days. Michael Lanbady has made the work- house his home for several years, but last night when he went to the third precinct he was not known, and the officer register- ed his name as Michael Healy. But Judge Kimball recognized Mike, and gave him ten days on the farm. Mary Jordan, a colored woman who has lived in the “Division” only a few weeks, was sent down for thirty days. A cclcred man named Richard A. Davis brought up the rear of the line. He had been summoned as a witness in Judge Miller's court, but he made so much noise in court that he was arrested. To Judge Kimball he attempted to make a stump speech, in which he denied the statement that he was drunk, and said: “I’m as sober as the judge.” He begged the court’s pardon for what he had done, and said he was ready to pay the charges “And I don’t care how much the charge is. Make out your bill and I'll pay it.” “Ten dollars.”” ‘That's all right,” said the prisoner. “I'll pay it. I can be led, but I'll not be driven.” AMERICAN UNIVERSITY.

Spring with an eacthenware mug in their hands, or slung by a strap round the neck or over the shoulder, and patiently waiting their turn to sip of the precious fluid. For three cen- turies or more all sorts and conditions of men, from the king to the tramp, have pilgrimized hither in search of new iife or relief from pain. But we cannot in there competitive days afford the time and money to travel so far afield, so it is brought to your doors bottled in its natural and original form at the Spring, or in powder cvsporat- ed on the spot, and so well known as the Carlsbad Sprudel Water, and Carlsbad Sprudel Salt. The signature, “EISNER & MENDEUSON CO., Sole Agents, New York,” is on every bottle. Beware of imitations. ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS, Cannot Get Evidence Against Viola- tors of the Law. At the session of the corporation court yesterday afternoon the grand jury made a report to the juége, in which they state that after a diligent and searching inquiry inte alleged violations of the laws against gambling they find no evidence upon which to base a presentment. The report, how- ever, states as follows: “Your grand jury would, however, state that while ne evi- dence has been elicited to prove the com- plicity of any individual in the infraction of cur laws against gambling, there has been sufficient evidence to show that policy playing is extensively carricd on in this city; that, in the opinion of the jury, im- munity from arrest and conviction has been in a great measure dependent upon the failure of our municipal authorities to strictly use all the appliances in their pos- session for the suppression of abuses here- inbcfore alluded to.” Indictments against James Jones, David Thompson and James Coleman, the three negro men who robbed Sefer Blouse, were handed in. The grand jury then adjourned until ordered to convene ,again by the judge. . The sewer pipes to be laid on King street from Union to the river have been strewn along the street. Miss Elizabeth Simpson, daughter of the late Gilbert Simpscn, was found dead at her home in this city yesterday. She had been a sufferer from consumption for some time. A number of ladders having been obtain- ed,the truck recently borrowed from Wash- ington was vesterday put in service here and the Relief truck turned over to Mr. Jchn Chauncey for repairs. Messrs.

G. L. Potter, a white man, who was ar- rested at the request of the Washington authorities, is held at the station house until they arrive to take him to Wash- ington, to answer the charge of having ob- tained goods under false pretenses. Mayor Strauss is again confined to his home by sickness. . F. Beckham has returned from Staun- ton. The service at St. Paul's Church yester- day afternoon was well attended.

Joint Installation of Three Comma: and a Woman's Relief Unio: On Tuesday night last Costello’s Hall, on G street, was taxed to its utmost capacity to accommodate the ladies and gentlemen who turned cut to witness the joint public instalation of three of the commands of the Union Veterans’ Union of the Depart- ment of the Potomac, viz., Hancock, Lo- gan and Sedgwick, and the Women’s Relief Unier auxiliary to Logan Command. The mustering officer for the male organiza- tions was Department Commander General L. D. Bumpus, while Mrs. Lillie Thomas officiated in a similar capacity for the W. R.U.
