Henry Berkley was arrested last night by Peliceman Als because he was conduct- ing a perambulating lunch room, with a supply of whisky. The policeman was not acquainted with. Henry, but he arrested him because of complaint that he was begging for provisions and selling them. “And then he bought whisky with the money,” said the policeman. “When I ar- rested him he had a bottle of whisky in his pocket.” “But I won't do so agaip,” said the pris- ener. “And if you will take my personal bonds I'll take the pledge for iife “Where do you,live?” “I live here, on Virginia avenue,” he said, “and have a wife and eight children.

Six men, all of whom were comfortably dressed, appeared in the procession as vagrants because they had applied for quarters at the second police station last night. “These men,” said Policeman Duvall, “came in the station last night and wanted lodging.

James Bright was the name he gave and Policeman Hartigan was the policeman who made the arrest. The boy told the judge that he was black- ing a man’s shoes and that he was near the curbstone, where he did not obstruct the sidewalk. Judge Kimball told him to be careful in the future, saying he did not want to de- | prive the boys of their means of livelihcod. The defendant's perso: bonds were taken. Th was a charge of obstructing the sidewalk in front of a Georgetown school building with a pile of coal. The coal was deposited on the sidewalk in the afternoon and left there that night. Mr. Johnson said that this was a special order of coal and, he said, he was sup- posed to deliver the’coal inside the build- ing, but he thought there had becn some mistake made this time.

AMUSEMENTS. Otis Skinner.—Of Otis Skinner’s per- formance of Clyde Fitch’s successful new comedy drama, “His Grace de Grammont,” which will be presented at the Grand Opera House next Monday evening, the critics in every city where he has played have spoken in terms of praise. He defines ad- mirably the Grammont of Mr. Fitch’s play. He comes with zest and easy, bantering grace into the gayeties and follies of the first scene; plays the lover in the second act with the seductive charm of apprecia- tion; fully me2ts the demands of indigna- tion, grief, rage and despair in the succeed- ing scenes, and altogether presents so ex- cellent an expression of buoyant spirit, quick sympathy, clear, discriminating in- telligence, broad ability and thoroughly disciplined methods of art that he is wel- comed to his new sphere of earnest en- deavor. The sale of seats opens Thursday morning. The Side Show.—‘The Side Show,” with all its wealth of magnificent scenery, orig- inal and novel mechanical effects and pantomimic tricks, will be the attraction at Butler's New Bijou Theater all next week, with the popular young comedian, James B. Mackie, as the bright particular star, surrounded by an unusuaily clever com- pany of comedians, singers and dancers. A pleasing innovation will be the appear- ance of a bevy of pretty girls in- merry terpsichorean exercises. Mackie (Grimesey, Me Boy) will introduce some new and startling gymnastic feats and sing all the latest parodies of the day. Then there will be jugglers, wire walkers, equilibrists and burlesque artists. Gus Hill’s Novelties—Manager Kernan’s attraction for next week will be Gus Hill's World of Novelties. This organization is undoubtedly one of the most complete in existence; there is not a name on the big program but what has a brilliant record att2cbed. In the company are the Les Voujeres, French eccentric comedians; Hacker and Leslie, the acrobatic wonders; Billy Carter, monologue artist; Dryden and Mitchell, character comedians; Swan and Bambard, grotesque stars; Montague and West, the comedy musical duo; Wills and Halpin, as the copper and the tramp; Nel- son and Milledge, up-to-date sketch artists, and Gus Hill, champion club swinger of the world. The performance will conclude with the latest comedy, “On the Bower; The C. C.

Two young men, who gave their names as Frank Jones and Edward Legrand, were prisoners In the Police Court today, charged | with being vagrants and suspicious per- sons. Jones was also charged with larceny. The prisoners admitted their guilt and said they were driven to wrong by poverty. Mr. Evan T. Dern, whose place of business is on Ohio avente, appeared as their victim. Legrand went to Dern’s shop two weeks ago and was given assistance. While there he learned of friends of Mr. Dern’s in In- diana, and two days ago Jones appeared with what purported to be a letter of in- troduction from a Miss Jessie Jones. On the strength of this letter Mr. Dern parted with $4, and Jones also stole a pair of cuit buttons from him. Judge Kimball told the defendants they were fortunate that there was not a peni- tentlary offense charged against them. Jones was given sixty days for the theft and they were given thirty days each for | vagrancy. AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Regular Meeting of the ity Council Last Night No Action on the Boxing Regulation— Notes of an Interestémg Nature From Down the}River. The regular semi-monthly meeting of the city council was held last night, with a full attendance in both boards. A large crowd had gathered in the board of alder- men chamber, in anticipation of action on the common council bill authorizing glove contests with six and a half ounce gloves and other restrictions, but they were dis- appoirted, for the bill was referred back to the committee on general laws, and the sports will have to wait at least twc weeks more before any of these contests can again be pulled off in this city. Citi- zens say that inasmuch as popular opinion and Mayor Strauss have already put a stop to these fights, that it would seem foolish for the city fathers.to legalize them. An ordinance to regulate the price to be charged for tapping public sewers, and fixing the rate at $25, $35, $50.and $75 upon certain conditions, was referred to the committee on streets. One hundred and twenty-five dollars was appropriated for the benefit of certain repairs needed at the Columbia engine house, and repairs were ordered in the mayor's oftice, city treas- urer’s office and hydraulian engine house. A bill to repave Henry street from Duke to Gibbon streets was referred to the com- mittee on streets, and an appropriation of $500 was made for the work. The bill for repaving Cameron street from Fairfax to Lee streets was laid on the table. No other business of importance was transacted, and the council adjourned to meet on the second ‘Tuesday in February. The Salimagundi Club. The Salimagundi Club, which is com- posed of some eight or ten of Alexandria’s prettiest and most prominent society young ladies, was handsomely ,entertained last night by two of its members, Misses Lucy Lee and Wiiza Daingerfield, at the resi- dence of Miss Lee, on Duke street. Be- sides the members of the club, there were about forty invited guests. The evening was spent In dancing, card and game play- ing, and was one of the most successtul of the meetings of the club.

Moy assaulted and he also thinks he lost a small amount of mcney, but th ‘osecuting attorney could find no reason for ging a charge of anything but assault when he investigated the case this morning. When Moy had been so badly treated he blew his police whistle and attracted the attention of the poll Officers Ricketts and Dodge and Special Officer Young responded and ar- rested the Frenchmen. They gave their names as Emile Gamear and Ogar Charles, the former a sailor and the latter an artist.

Mr. William Oscar Roome, for twenty years chief of the special assessment divi- sion of the District, today tendered to the Commissioners his resignation of the office. This action of Mr. Roome’s was perfectly voluntary. Yesterday he was appointed cashier of the Ohio National Bank, upon the unanimous vote of the directors, and he leaves the service of the District to accept the position. Mr. Roome by his long service in this special branch of the local government has acquired a knowledge of assessments in all of their varied forms that has been almost invaluable, and the Commissioners are in a quandary as to who his successor will be. There are few branches of the municipality that require such special knowledge as the office of chief of the assessment division, and the official must have a thorough knowledge of the law, together with an intimate ac- quaintance of the different laws under which assessments were levied. It is most of it knowledge of the pasf, during the regime of Governor Shepherd and the old board of public works that is required. Mr. Roome is one of the best-known offi- cials of the city, and is in the front ranks of Masonry. He is a thirty-three degree Mason, president of the board of trustees of the Scottish Rite Cathedral, and for thirteen years has been master of Mithras Lodge of Perfection. He is also master of Evangelist Chapter of Rose Croix, and provincial grand secretary for the Royal Order of Scotland in the United’ States. Mr. Roome will enter upon his new duties as soon as his successor has been ap- pointed and qualifies. The position will not be strange to him, for he has already served a long apprenticeship in the bank- ing business. For some years he was con- nected with the Irving Bank of New York as assistant teller, and later was assistant teller of the old Continental Bank in New York, When the war broke out he went ‘to the front as a private in the seventy-first regiment of the New York National Guard. He was wounded at the first Bull Run fight, and when he recovered joined the thirty-seventh New York as captain, com- manding company K, and served in the second division, sixth army corps, under Gen. “Baldy” Smith. He was later made a major. Mr. Roome was appointed chief of the special assessment division In 1874 by Gen, Ketcham, who was then a Com- missioner, and since his appointment has served the District faithfully. See , USE OF SIDEWALKS. Capt. Powell Outlines His Position on the Subject. “There is absolutely no truth in the pub- lished s‘atement that I am preparing a bill for Congress which has for its object the renting of sidewalks of the city,” said Capt. Powell to a reporter of The Star to- day. “The sidewalks of the city are for the pedestrians and I am opposed to their use for anything else. I have thought ever since I first became connected with the District, and believe now more than ever before, that upon certain business Streets it might be well to rent to the owner or occupant of certain business houses the parking immediately in front of such places. This would not interfere with the free use of the sidewaik and would be of immense benefit to the business men.” —_—>__—_.
