The Commissioners have transmitted to the chairman of the subcommittee on Dis- trict appropriations of the House reports relative to the sanitary conditions and de- fects of the Business High School building. Principal Davis, in his report, states that the defect in the sanitary condition arises in part from the improper and insufficient heating of the building, but chiefly from the overcrowding consequent upon the oc- cupation of the building by too great a number of pupils. The stairs are of wood and are not suitable for the passage of sections of pupils from room to room, says Mr. Davis, and he adds that the building contains three stories, and as it is neces- sary for teachers and pupils to pass from room to room for purposes of recitation, several of the lady teachers have com- plained that walking up and down stairs has had an injurious physical effect upon them, and have been absent from sickness resulting from this cause. The basement space, it is stated in the report, is entirely inadequate, and the ventilation in the. basement is bad, as the heating is by stoves and the dust from the school furnaces is injurious to the lungs of the pupils. This is especially true in cold weather, when a large amount of coal must be shoveled. The building was not in- tended to contain pupils in the basement, but at the present time about eighty pupils are seated there. Principal Davis goes on to say that the separation of the sexes for toilet purposes is not as complete as it should be, a tem- Porary partition having been erected to divide the basement between the sexes. While the building might contain with a fair degree of comfort 350 pupils, accord- ing to Mr. Davis, it is not a proper build- ing from a sanitary point of view for the 450 pupils who are seated in it, and it ‘ both impossible and undesirable to crowd more pupils in it next year. It is claimed that 500 pupils is the smallest number who will apply for admission to the Business High School next fall. Expert Testimony. A report in regard to the building has also been submitted by J. G. Hird, chem- ical and sanitary inspector of the health department, and C. H. Welch, sanitary inspector of the health department. The gereral sanitary arrangements, they say, were found in a very poor and unhealthy condition. With defective plumbing and inadequate ventilation, and the school rooms depending entirely upon windows fer their supply of pure air, the circula- tion of the same within the building is maintained from one room to another, be- ing intermingled with the foul air from the basement and the gases from the sewer, rendering the same, in the opinion of In- spectors Welch and Hird, very dangerous to health. ——— GUARDED BY ARMED MEN. Preliminaries to the Trial at Stafford Court House. Morgan, alias Morganfield, the Aquia Creek train robber, was brought into court at Stafford Court House, Va., yesterday, on his cot by Perry C. Crutchfield, the ex- messenger he robbed. The counsel filed two pleas in abatement, one because the grand jury that indicted him was not prop- erly constituted, one of its members being @ postmaster, and under the Virginia law not competent to serve as a juror. The other because the indictment did not charge the same offenge for which Morgan was extradited, and that a man could not be tried for an offense other than that for which he was extradited. The common- wealth moved to reject both pleas, and af- ter argument the court rejected them. Defense excepted and then moved to quash the indictment, alleging that it was obtained by reason of duplicity and mis- joinder of the courts. This motion was argued by Col. Shay for three-quarters of an hour, at which time he suspended, and the court took a recess for dinner. Morgan was not moved from the court room during the recess, but his dinner was brought in to Fim. Messrs. Shay, Thomas and McBeth, the latter of whom is counsel for Searcey, all qualified to practice in the court, and were duly admitted to the Virginia bar. After recess the counsel for the defense resumed argument on the motion to quash the indictment. W. S. Thomas, who is as- sisting the prosecution, replied, and then ‘the commonwealth’s attorney, Mr. White, stated to the court that he never hesitated to own up to a mistake, and he thought that the last count in the indictment charg- ing conspiracy to rob should be quashed. The court then quashed the last count and overruled the motion to quash the ether counts to which the counsel for de- fense excepted. The defense then entered a general and special demurrer to the in- dictment thereof. Without any argument this motion was submitted to the judge, who reserved his decision, and adjourned court until this morning at 9 o'clock. Last night a heavily-armed guard occupied the cell with each of the men, and guards patroled the outside of the jail, while lan- terns hung all around it and lighted up the whole premises. ———_—+e+_____ Roads Ruined by the Trolley. From the Baltimore American. Mr. A. J. Cassatt, the millionaire, who has done more for good roads than any dozen men in Pennsylvania, has sent forth a warning against the spollation of im- proved roads by trolley companies. He holds that, if they follow the highway, they must widen it at their own expense, pro- viding a clear track without encroaching upon the common driveway. Many of the best roads have been almost ruined by the trolley lines, but that is all the more rea- son why the roads that are left should be jealously guarded ——____+e+_____ A Trotting Unicycle. A Hartford man has invented a one- wheel sulky for trotting horses. It is cer- tainly original enough to receive attention. The seat of the sulky will be directly over the back cf the horse—occupying the same relative position over the horse that the ordinary riding saddle does. This would necessarily bring the sulky wheels on the sides of the horse; in case the animal was a sixteen-hunder, the occupant of the sulky seat would be about as prominent as a pilot on a steamer. The harness would be also of a different pattern than is now in use. The swaying motion of the horse is to be regulated by a steel brace from the shaft tips. The traces will be set on an angle from the wheels to the seat that will aid the propulsion of the sulky. The horse actually trots within the sulky in this new idea, while the driver sits astride and is braced just as in the ordinary rac- ing vehicle, only directly over the horse instead of behind him. oo —_____ $1.25 excursion tickets to Baltimore via Pennsylvania railroad Friday, the 22d in- stant.—Advt. THE WORLD OF SOCIETY The Last Bachelors’ German Danced Amid Beauty and Fragrance. eS The Cabinet Hoste: igs Had Callers by the Hundreds Yesterday—Other Pleasant, Mention. < A bachelors’ german is always an event of importance; when ‘it is prefaced by “last” there is no danger any other at- traction. can dim its glory. The ball last night at the Rifles’ was a brilliant scene, rot only in the charm such a company can exert, but in the beauty of the arrange- ments of the hall. Flowers, palms, vines and electric lights were so deftly inter- mingled as to suggest fairyland. Red draperies were the foundation color, and the effect of the trailing vines, starred with electric lights making a frieze, was very pretty. Great clumps of palms with azalea bushes around the base gave the stage a glimpse of more than woodland beauty. The favors, as are always the custom at the last german, were especially pretty. They were all in red and consisted of satin heart decorations for the men and satin sachets for the ladies, with needle- books and pincushions, and, of course, a great abundance of flowers. The guests were received by Mrs. John Hay, and the cotillion was led by Mr. Montgomery Macomb. A considerable number of out-of- town guests enjoyed the evening. ‘Among those present were Mr, and Mrs. Arnold Hague, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Ed- wards, Mr. George Howard, Miss Howard, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ffoulke, Dr. and Miss Hagner, Mr. and Mrs. G.

Different Militia Organizations That Will Parade During the Day. Military display will not be lacking to- morrow. The girls who are facinated by brass buttons, will, if the weather is at all favorable, have an opportunity of admir- ing stalwart men, in real pretty clothes and shiny fixings, to their heart’s content. The citizen who desires to see with his own eyes what the real soldier—the National Guardsman or District defendér—is good for, may satisfy his curiosity, and the small boy with musical proclivities may easily find several bands to follow. Truly, Washington is to have several parades worthy of the occasion. The second regiment is ordered out for drill tomorrow at 1 o'clock. Enlisted men in fatigue dress, overcoats and leggings. Officers with or without overcoats, as they may choose. All officers on foot. The con- dition of the ground will confine the drill to such avenues as are reasonably clear of snow, probably Massachusetts and New Hampshire avenues. After drill the com- mand will march to the armory down Penn- sylvania avenue. The National Guard Drum Corps will accompany the regiment. Colored High School Cadets. The cadets of the Colored High School will parade for the first time during the school year, leaving the building on New York avenue at 2 p.m. and marching down 3d street northwest to Pennsylvania ave- nue, up thé avenue to 17th street north- west, thence up 17th street to K street and along K street to New York avenue, to the school. The battalion of cadets is to be escorted by company A, first separate bat- talion, D. C. N. G., under Capt. Arthur Brooks, and will be headed by the Capital City Band. The officers of the cadets are Maj. Chas. Minkins, Adjt. Roscoe C. Bruce, company A, Capt. Henry B. Burwell, and company B, Capt. John C. Payne. The Most Showy Pageant. By far the most showy pageant of the day will be that which will move, under command of Col. Wm. G. Moore, from 3d street and Pennsylvania avenue northwest at 3 p.m. and parade up the avenue to 15th street, to K street, to 19th street, to Penn- sylvania avenue, to 15th street, to Penn- sylvania avenue, where the troops will separate. At the head of the line the Ma- rine Band is to march. Then will follow the Washington Light Infantry Corps, four companies, with the largest numerical! showing of recent years. The Infantry will wear full dress National Guard attire. The Corcoran Cadet Corps will present a gay appearance, in white coats and plumes. The famous National Fencibles, champions of the United States, will, probably for the last time, parade as a single company and in the rich uniform of green and gold, with plumes, which, however, are not of sufficient richness for the coming “Greater Fencibles.” Company B, third battalion, in full dress National Guard clothing, will also be in line, as will the National Rifles, the Old Guard and the regiment of High School Cadets. The Rifles and Old Guard will have with them the Mount Pleasant Drum Corps, and the Sixth United States Cavalry Band 1s to head the High School Cadets. The latter will assemble at the various school buildings at 1:15 p.m., ren- dezvous at the intersection of 15th street and New York avenue at 2 p.m., and short- ly after move to the vicinity of 3d street and Pennsylvania avenue to join the other troops. —————— SOME INFORMATION. Likely to Be Posted Up in the Police Court. The Police Court is not a bureau of in- formation, although there are many per- sons who have an idea that such is the case. Business transacted there is only such business as pertains to violations cf the numerous laws and ordinances in force in the District. Seldom a day passes that marriage licenses, dog tags or some other business of this kind is not mentioned. Several days before an execution at the jail two men appeared in the clerk's cifice and one of them put down a dollar, saying, “I want a ticket.” Ticket?" queried the clerk. Yes, a ticket,"" the man said; “a ticket.” ‘Ticket for what?" the clerk asked. “Why, for the hanging, of course.” Once an old man wanted a warrant for himself. He had a dog and the canine was dangerous, so he thought. What he want- ed was to get rid of the dog, but he did not want to do so unless by order of the court. One of the latest requests was made by a colored man- who wanted a permit to kill a_man. When asked for an explanation, he said there was another man paying attention fe his wife and he wanted to get rid cf im, “But you can’t get any such permit here,” he was told. “I can’t?” asked the surprised and dis- appointed husband. “I can’t get a permit A = the man for breaking up my fam- fly?” ‘No, sir.” “Then what kind of protection does a man get for the dollar he pays for a li- cense?”” The clerk assured him that he was not an authority on such matters, and the disappointed man went home. In order to save the time of making so many explanations it is likely that the fol- lowing notice will soon grace the walls in the corridor: “Witness fees are paid between 10 and 11 o'clock on any day except Monday. “Dog tags are issued at the District building. “Marriage licenses are issued by the clerk of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, “Passes to attend executions are issued by the warden of the jail. “The business of this court is wholly criminal, and we cannot collect bad debts, issue writs of replevin or attend to any business of a civil character nor give ad- vice in reference thereto. “Tickets for free soup can be obtained from the police department. This court has nothing to do with it. “Destitute children are taken care of by the board of children’s guardians. “As about 20,000 cases are tried yearly in this court, we cannot be expected to remember the name of every defendant and the witnesses in each case by a meag2r dscription of the facts in the case or from a description of the defendant, especially when we were not in court when the case was tried.” ——— Greek Letter Banquet. | The ninth annual reunion and banquet of the Southern Graduate Association of Theta Delta Chi will be held at the rooms of the Down Town Club, in the Washing- ton Loan and Trust building, this evening at 8:30 o'clock.

Another of the Haywards on Witness Stand. Mrs. Adry Hayward testified in the Ging trial yesterday at Minneapolis. Preceding her testimony Horace L. Wells, paying teller of the City Bank, and Louis Ireland were sworn. Wells testified to having paid Harry Hayward between $6,000 and $7,000 after September 1, 1834, thus accounting for the defendant's possession of money that did not come from Miss Ging. Miss Ireland was questioned by the de- fense as to Harry’s calling at the flat on Gays preceding and on the day of the mur- ontine and ry Hayward was then put Mrs. L. L.

His back was painfully injured. —_ The War Department and Capt. How- gate. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In justice to Capt. Howgate, although a stranger, I feel I must lft up my voice in the matter relative to his being regarded as a “fugitive from justice.” It is useless to say that the War Department was not ccgnizant of his whereabouts—that is false. It did know, perfectly well, where Capt. Howgate was. When he was a resident of West Virginia, the department was duly informed to that effect. The department simply did not care to know, as the reply that was received proved. As delicately as words could express, the writer was ac- cused of prevaricating. The whole story was published not long since in the New York World and Philadelphia pea the SS The Pooling Bill. Senator Butler said, after his unsuccess- ful attempt today to get up the pooling bill, that he should continue his efforts in that direction at every opportunity until the close of the session, if he did not suc- cecd. He admitted that it was beginning fo look as if the arpropriation bills would hold the attention of the Senate until March 4. —s Excursion tickets to Baltimore Frida: the 22d instant, vie Pennsylvania railroad, $1.25.—Advt.
