In the case of the colored man named Arthur Williams, tried in the Police Court last week and sentenced on a charge of as- sault, as printed in The Star at the time, Judge Miller granted a new trial. The case was reheard, and in addition to the Proof offered at the other hearing, reput- able citizens appeared and gave evidence concerning his good character. Notwith- standing .all that had been said against him his employer said he had always found him a good, faithful servant, and certainly he was not going to part with his services. This proof, the court said, had at least raised a doubt, and he gave the defendant the benefit of it, dismissing the charge. —_—_—_— Not an Intemperate Boy. ‘The mother and the associates of William Buchanan, the lad who was drowned in the James Creek caral, as published in Tues- day’s Star, declare that he was no intem- perate boy. They say that if he was in- toxicated at the time he met his death it was the first time. SE : Second Offense. William H. Rudd, a young man well known in police circles as “Cotton” Rudd, was given a preliminary hearing in the Police Court yesterday on a charge of second offense petit larceny. It was charg- ed that he stole $1.50 from his employer, an East Washington barber, and the case ‘was sent to the grand jury. Bei age A Transfer Question. George Tolson, a young colored man who fs employed in an eating saloon on 10th street, got in trouble Tuesday night when on his way home, and a conductor on the 7th street cable road had him locked up on a charge of disorderly. Tolson and a friend got on the car together. It was after 8 o’clock and his transfer was timed 7:5. His companion’s transfer was mark- ed 8:15. The conductor refused to accept the transfer, and Tolson said he had no money. He declared that he had only had the transfer a few minutes before he got on the car, and said he and his friend got their transfers at the same time. When told he would have to get off the car he refused to do so and had some words with the conductor. Judge Kimball sustained the action of the street car conductor and held Tolson tech- nically guilty. His personal bonds were taken. —EE Threw a Lamp. William Ash, a colered pensioner, who has a room in the house of another colored man named Robinson, on K street near the Northern Liberty market, was under the influence of liquor Tuesday night. He had several companions in his room and they made so much noise that Mrs. Robinson had to request them to keep quiet. But Ash told her that his room was his castle and he intended to do as he pléased. And another thing, he objected to having Mrs. Robinson attempt to dictate to him. In endeavoring to drive her from the stairs he threw a lighted lamp at her and cut her face. She was sent to the hospital for treatment, and Policemen Mulvey and Gordon arrested Ash. In the Police Court oo Ash was given six months in jail. : ———————— Cc. and O. Specialties. Safety—Block system of signals. 75 to 100-pound steel rails. Iron and stone super- structures.

SIXTEEN IN ONE LOT Raid on a Tramp’s Resort Early This Morn- ‘The. Cases ‘in Court and the Different. * Dinpositions—Other Victims . The change in the weather makes-tramp life easier, and the city’s guests are no longer living in fear of being frozen to death on th> streets or being Jost some- where on the road in a snow drift. But the weather had not decreased the number of such persons in this city, for the lodging houses and charitable institutions are still crowded with them, and they aré patroniz- ing the “soup house” in.as large. numbers as they did when the weather was so se- vere. During the worst of the weather these men and boys were unable to travel ‘very much from place to place. It was too cold to ride many miles on the blind end of a freight, and it was aiso risky to start through the snow from one city to an- other. When the ground was covered with snow they found it a difficult task to find wood for fuel, and then, too, there were but few places in the woods where they could find dry places to sleep and have a fire. It is true they could stop over night in barns, but then they could not build fires to keep them warm, and so many of them were in the larger cities snowbound. It is estimated that there were as many as four or five hundred strangers here at a time during the cold wave. All of them, of course, were not tramps, although the po- lice think that a large majority of them were. And in addition to those from other Places, there were a number of Washing- tonians who had become liable to prosecu- tion under the tramp law, and several] of them who.were taken into court admitted that they had tramped from: here to other places, and had returned because the treat- ment here is better than elsewhere. Since the police commenced the work of weeding out the tramps and taking them to court the applicants for lodgings at the pelice stations have decreased in number, and now that the weather is not so bad they are sleeping about in the box cars, sheds and other places. One tramp, who reached here three days ago, was fortunate enough to get into a Pullman car, and in this palace on wheels he was found enjoy- ing the sleep of the man who is without cares. Recently the tramps have been compelled to take to the railroad tracks on account of the bad condition of the roads, and inthe vicinity of Trimidad residents have had occasion to make complaints to the police. Tramps have infested that section, be- cause of the scarcity of police, and also for the reason that the Baltimore and Ohio sand house offers an attraction. The build- ing is constructed of iron, and sand is piled on steam pipes to put it through the dry- ing process. This makes the sand warm and makes a better bed than the knights of the road usually find on their journeys. Because of complaints from this section, Sergt. Wall and Policemen Browne, Sedg- wick, Anderson and Pierce made a raid on the sand house about 2 o’clock this morning and found sixteen men, white and colored, sleeping on the warm sand. They were marched to the ninth precinct station, where they were locked up. The colored men gave their uames as Frank James, Edward Kilgore, Richard Brown, William Jackson, Charles Brooks, Henry Logan, George Johnson, George Dickson, Jim Wheat and Boston Jones. The white men registered as Samuel Riley, Charles Golds- borough, Patrick Meehan, John Lee, Wil- Mam Young and George Thompson. All in Line. ‘This morning, as scon as Judge Kimball's court opened, these sixteen prisoners formed a line along in front of the judge, and, when they were arraigned as vagrants, they all said “guilty.” There were only three men in the crowd who had not been arrested before, and one of them was Charles Goldsborough. “I was on my way home from Baltimore last night,” he told the court. “I live on the Navy Yard, and, being tired, I thought L would stop in the sand house til} morn- “Have you ever been arrested before?” “No, sir.” “Do you know any of the cfficers?” Policeman Auguste gave him a good name, and he was discharged. Jim Wheat, one of the colored men, had never been ‘n court before. He came from Liverpool, Ohio, and said he was “all froze up.”” “Froze up with what?” the court wanted to know. “With rheumatism,” was his response. He was sent down for a few days for hos- pital treatment. George Dickson was also a stranger, and said he belonged in Richmond. iow long have you keen here?” “Three days.” Where have you stopped?” “At the sand house.” “And where have you got your food?” “At the soup house.” He was released on his personal bonds to leave town. Harry Logan said he came here from Harper's Ferry. He worked until a late hour last night, and not having any place to go, he went from Pennsylvania avenue and 9th street to the sand house. His case will be furtner investigated. “I lves in Alexandria county, I does,” said George Johnson, a colored hoy, who ap- peared as if he would be as happy in one place as in another. “What were you doing last night when the officers arrested you?” “Sleeping.” “What did you go there for?” ‘or lodgings.” “Ten days.” The: Others. Charles Brooks had escaped from the work house and he was given an addi- tional thirty days. Boston Jones said he lived in Tenleytown and he stopped in the sand house out of the rain. “Thirty days.” Patrick Meehan, John Lee and William Young were released yesterday to leave the city. They were sent down for a month, while George Thompson was given ten days. Frank James was recognized as an old offender, and the court wanted to know when he got out. “Only a few days ago,” he answered. “For what were you sent down?” “For being with a kid swiping figs.” “Thirty days.” Samuel Ridey, Edward Kilgore and Rich- ard Brown were given one month each, and William Jackson was sent down for ten days. Wanted a Room. = Policeman Cook complained against an old man, whose name was given as Sam’l L. Aimes. He was in the county near Langdon yesterday, and at several houses he insisted on being given a room. The officer told of the man’s peculiar actions, and said he thought his mind was affected. “I’m from Bennington county, Vermont,” said the old man, “and I want to go back and make maple sugar.” Iffs conversation indicated his belief that he had been elected to some office, and he said he wanted to see Secretary Gresham about the certificate. __“I was told that the House was strongly in my favor,” he said, “but when it got ie fe Senate two electors were thrown out.” During the course of his conversation he spoke of the county clerkship and mention- ed the name of Goodman. He had $20 in his pocket and the judge released him upon a promise to leave the city, putting him in charge of an officer. John Martin, a stranger, for begging on 7th street, was given thirty days, and Ed- ward Farrell, also a non-resident, was sim- ilarly treated. John -Francis and Archie Adams were given a hearing on a charge of vagrancy. One of them said to the officer that he could not become a vagrant until he had been here thirty days, but in this the judge id he was sadly mistaken. “Ten days each.” James Malone is a tinner. He said he had traveled through the country working when he could get it. It was his first appearancg here and the judge said he would let him off on his own recognizance. A number of other strangers were in the procession. Some of them were sent down and others were released on their personal bonds to leave the city. a $1.25 To Baltimore and Return §1.25 via B. and 0.

AMUSEMENTS. _ “Dorothy” to Be Repeated.—The ladies of ‘| the Homeopathic Hospital, under whose auspices the opera of “Dorothy” will be repeated at the New National Theater to- morrow afternoon by the players of Co- Iymbian University, ere quite gratified at the rapid manner in which the seats are being taken. The sale elready indicates a large attendance, and consequently a good addition to the hospital fund. The prin- cipal change in the cast will be the play- ing of the part of Harry Sherwood by Mr. W. H. Harris, whose work in the “Three Dukes,” of whieh he was the librettist, is well remembered. He will prove a decided acquisition to the players. The opera will be well sung, both by cast and chorus, and a-feature will be the’ ballet, which will do even better work than at the first perform- ance. The clever work of the dancers, par- ticularly in their rendition of the may-pole dence, is well. remembered: Mr. Harry Sheridan will be the premier danseuse, as before, and the corps ballet includes Bev- erly Kennon Peter, Albert A. Clemmons, Edward Arlington Pittis, Rudolph Baldwin Schwickardi, Harry Caton Sheridan, John Joy Edson, jr., Allen Ogilve Clephane, Al- bert Thorpe Ryan, Allen Diehl Albert, jr., Charles Kirby King, Francis Mohun Phelps, Harry Normant Robinson, Maurice foseph Sioussa, James Alfred Tanner, ‘obert Wharton Test, Frank Lee Biscoe, Joseph Saxton Pendleton, Carl C. Clem- mons, Paul Warrington Evans, Charles James, Donald McDonald, William Knight Ward and James William White. Gounod’s ‘“Redemption.”—The presenta- tion of Gounod’s “Redemption” by the Choral Society, which will take place at the Congregational Church on March 5 and 6, will be an interesting musical event. The composition is one of the great French musician’s best efforts, and the score is filled with charming melody and effective recitative for the soloists and with grand harmonies for the chorus. Professor Kas- par has been untiring in his efforts to bring the chorus to a high degree of per- - fection, and it is believed that the society will appear to better advantage than ever before. The soloists are all local singers, and this fact will give the community an opportunity to learn what good work in the highest form of musical effort can be done by those who have been hereto- fore heard in the lighter forms of music. The seats are now on sale at Droop’s. Life Pictures—The tableaux from Life which will be given tomorrow evening in the ball room of the Cairo for the benefit of the free reading room in Georgetown promise to be a social as well as artistic success. These pictures recelved much praise when produced recently at the resl- dence of Mr. Thomas Wilson. Music by the Olmo Mandolin and Banjo Club and others will add to the evening’s pleasure. Recitations by Mrs. Haskell. kell of St. Louis, who for two weeks past has been the guest of Mrs. Representative Bland, In this city, will return to the west Monday. In the meantime Mrs. Haskell will recite this evening and tomorrow and Saturday at 11 o'clock a.m., at an enter- tainment given by the ladies of the Mis- sour: delegation at the Woodmont. ps Geological Society. The Geological Society of Washington met at the Cosmos Club last night. In view of the technical interest of the first paper, that on “Analysis of Folds,” by Mr. Cc. R. Van Hise, the attendance of geolo- gists was not so great as the occasion de- served. The theory which Mr. Van Hise expounded was independent of any theory as to creation of mountain ranges, and be- cause of this might be acted on by dis- ciples of opposing theories. The ideas ad- vanced will probably be of considerable ad- vantage to structural geologists. In the beginning Mr. Van Hise explained that the folds corresponded to the waves of the sea. Thrust and gravity were the causes. In one instance thrust might be the dominant cause, and in another gravity might have been. He rendered an original classifica- tion of the folds, and at some length dwelt upon the nature of each. He sketched clearly and rapidly the structural reasons for the composite normal folds, and with considerable ingenuity and evident consist- ency applied these reasons to composite abnormal folds. In the discussion which followed the pa- per, Mr. Willis joined issue with Mr. Van Hise on his alleged tendency to make no distinction between the anticline and the anticlinal core. Mr. Willis argued that though thrust was responsible for the anti- clire, yet by the upwelling of the super- incumbent matter, the lower strata filled in the anticlincl arch by gravity acting on and around the base of the core. Several joined in the discussion; but Mr, Van Hise sustained his position that thrust could act on crystalline strata, and might act, he could not tell how deep. The second number was a brief address by Mr. Eldridge, on ‘Notes on the Geology of Idaho.” ——— A Word to the Grumblers. To the Editor of The Evening Star: When people are abused and cannot help themselves, I have some sympathy for them; but when people knowingly put themselves in a position to be imposed upon, I have no patience with their annoy- ing the public with their wailings. I notice several such grumbles in reference to the treatment parties received at Albaugh’s at the grand opera. Of course such treatment is an outrage, but these people know that so long as the public are fools enough to pay extra prices and crowd the house they will be subjected to just such treatment. They always have been and always will be, until it is made by law a misdemeanor to sell any more tickets than there are seats. They should do as I do—stay away and save both money and abuse. I have no sym- pathy for such people. And now here comes another one, who wants to stop our fool women from mar- rying foreign rakes and gamblers, who vstally get their money and then treat them worse than dogs. He proposes to amend the Constitution so as to grant titles of nobility; so these women can be supplied at home. I object. It is a good thing to have this class of fools marry abroad and leave the country. There will be less of the breed here. It is simply an exemplification of the law of “natural selection,” which shculd not be and cannot be stopped. It’s all right. I say God bless them, let them go; the sooner the better.

Damage Done by tnejstaem and Some j Recommendations, ] W. X. Stevens, #1 agent of the pub- lic bathing beach, has addre @ lengthy ccmmunication to the €onimissioners, re- porting the usual winter's. damage. Last fall the Commissioners asied him to sug- gest details of repairs and improvements at the bathing beach, whereby the available appropriation of $1,000 could be used with the greatest advantage to. the public. In his report he says that both of the wharves and the diving stand have been raised and left out of level by the ice and tide. The lenk, which’ was formerly ‘a steep terrace twelve feet in height, has been undermined and washed down to a rough slant and badly gulleyed. He says further that the houses were broken open for shelter, when the skating attracted spectators, there be- ing no police around on the occasion. All the fences, planks and other lumber and twenty doors, he says, have been broken up and burned. He states that a policeman there would have saved a great deal of property and possibly one life, there being some recklesa boys who made a pastime of daring danger. The pool which he has rec- commended year after year would be a safe and ample place for skating, as well as swimming, and would preserve all the wharves and the bank from destruction by ice, tide and storm.. He recommends that the work of repairing damages and increas- ing facilities be immediately begun and carried out as far as the appropriation will permit. He recommends that a fence eight feet in height be built around the: north houses, to prevent thieving and drunken men and other objectionable persons from beirg let into the houses without passing the office. He also recommends that the present office be moved forward about its lengta, and another one, eight feet square, be built behind it. He asks that the bal- arce of the money be expended in the erec- tion of new houses, as many as possible. He concludes by recommending that the work of grading be done by the workhouse gang, in order that the little appropriation allowed them after three years’ petitioning to Congress for a larger sum may be made to go as far as possible. Z ————— Alternate Delegates. The Department of the Potomac, Grand Army of the Republic, at the session of its annual encampment held last evening, elected four alternate delegates to the na- tional encampment, as follows. J. R. Hayes, W. H. Myers, C. V. Mansfield and H. S. Linker. Messrs. J. E. McCabe, chair- man; A. U. Thompson, Stanton Weaver, S. R. Stratton and J. F. Raub were ap- pointed a committee to arrange for a joint installation of officers with the Wo Relief Corps. A report was adopted sanc- tioning the stand taken by Commander- elect Anderson in a recent interview with Public Printer Benedict. The sessions of the encampment are expected to continue during the remainder of the week. BPS ereeree: COR, 7TH AND'D N.W. Dentistry has been revolutionized shy the Association system.
