Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock there was a lively scene enacted in Herfuth’s cigar store, corner of 13th and G streets, where there was trouble about a partner- ship dispute. It is sald that Dr. Steger, a government clerk, had put his money in the establishment and was a silent partner in the firm. He tired of the partnership and had gained possession of the premises until yesterday, when a party of men, act- ing under Mr. Herfuth’s directions, took possession. He did not want the stock, but only wanted possession of the premises, so he had the men remove the stock from the building. There was no bleod shed and the affair will probably have to be settled in the civil courts. —— South Washington Charity. Three young ladies employed In Mueller’s candy factory, Miss Lillie Browning, Miss Laura White and Miss Ada White, held pound party the other evening at Blake Hall, and the returns were turned over to Mrs. Robrecht for distribution among the sick poor of South Washington. One con- tribution to the party consisted of 25 cakes of washing soap, and speaking of this con- tribution Mrs.Robrecht said today that few people,realized the fact that for months in hundreds of homes in the city there had not been a piece of soap. rom a sanitary point of view the necessity for providing the poor with the means for cleanliness was self-evident. In South Washington there has been no let up to the charity wor! Thompson, the milk man, continues to issue gallons of milk to the destitute sick, and the other agencies are active. —.

The official of the building inspector’s office in charge of fire escapes, Frank Ver- million, has prepared a proposed amend- ment to section 3 of the act for the further protection of property from fire and safety of lives in the District of Columbia. The present law relating td fire escapes*is claimed to be defective. One instance is that the District government is authorized to erect fire escapes on private buildings and collect the cost of the same by law, but no money has ever been appropriated with which to do the work. Again, it ts provided that all buildings fifty feet th height shall be equipped with fire escapes. This is considered faulty in that a three- story house may be fifty feet in height while a neighboring structure three stories in height may evade the law by being a few inches less thar fifty feet in height. The Commissioners have forwarded the preposed amendment to Congress, and recommended favorable action thereon. It provides that it shall be unlawful to issue @ license to the lessee or proprietor of any building used as a hotel, factory, manu- factory, theater, tenement house, hall or place of amusement, or any other building used for a business for which a license is required, unless the application for such a license is accompanied with the certificate of the inspector of buildings that such building is provided with fire escapes, standpipes, ladders, lights, alarm gongs and descriptive notices. The. failure or neglect, after thirty days’ notice, of the owner or lessee of any building above named, or the trustee of any building used as a seminary, college, academy, hos- pital or asylum, to provide fire escapes, as required shall render such person or per- sons liable to a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $100 for each day he or they shall fail to provide the same, the fines to be collected by prosecution in the Police Court in the name of the District. In cases of default of lessees, trustees or owners in putting up fire escapes, the Commissioners are empowered, and it 1s their duty, to cause fire escapes to be erected, and they are authorized to assess the cost thereof as a tax against the build- ing on which they are erected and the grcund on which the same stands, and to issue tax lien certificates against such building and ground for the amount of such assessment, bearing interest at the rate of 10 per cent per annum, which cer- tificates may be turned over by the Com- missicners to the contractors for doing the work. The lessees, owner or trustee, as the case may be, of any such building, who shall fail to erect fire escapes, as provided, shall be Hable to an action for damages in case of death or personal injury resulting from fire in buildings not provided with fire escapes, as required by law, and that such action may be maintained by any person or persons now authorized by law to sue as in other cases of injury or death by wrongful act. On any building whic the Commissioners shall determine to be fire proof they may, in their discretion, require the erection of fire escapes. = THE RECEIVER ANSWERS. Washington Endowment Association and the Commercial Insurance Co. In the case of the Washington Beneficlal Endowmert Association against the Com- mercial Alliance Life Insurance Company, Wm. T. Gilbert, the receiver of the com- pany, bas filed an answer, in which he states that the charter cf the company was annulled aad the concern dissolved on the 10th of last January. Excepting those set forth in the contract between the or- ganizations all other alleged negotiations are denied. The receiver says that the property of the association, 419 10th street, is not worth $35,000, it being, in his opinion, not worth more than $22,000. It is claimed by the company that but $14,000 was paid, and it is asserted that policies of insurance in the Commercial Alliance were tendered to certificate holders of the Washington company, and accepted by some. Mr. Gil- bert denies that the Commercial Alliance promised to hold the real estate in trust for certificate holders, that beneficiaries’ claims have become vested rights and con- stitute a lien upon the real estate. He deries, too, all allegations of fraudulent practices and misrepresentation in connec- tion with the purchase in August last. A valuable consideration was given by the Commercial Alliance for the 10th street building, it is asserted, although it is denied that this consideration has fail- ed. It is pointed out that the complainant does not offer to retur® the money paid. Mr. Gilbert makes these statements upon information. eee AMUSEMENTS. Oratorio in Lent.—The Choral Society's selection, Gounod’s “The Redemption,” for their Lenten concert is regarded as emi- nently suitable for the season. “The Re- demption™ is without dbubt Gounod’s best work of the oratorio class, as is “‘Faust’’ of the opera cla3s, and its production next week by the Choral Scciety will be its first presentation in this city.

She gave another reading this morning, and her last will be tomor- row at 11 a. m. at the Woodmont. For Bahen’s Berefit—The law department of Georgetown University have completed all the arrangements for the benefit to be given at Metzerott Music Hall for George D.

Williams-Pearman, Mr. Conde, Mr. Nash of Georgetown University, Mr. Ed- ward J. Walsh, Mr. Hubbard T. Smith, the Tuxedo Quartet of Chicago and George- town University Glee, Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar clubs. —— Woodburn Citizens, The Woodburn Citizens’ Association met Tuesday evening at Kelly's Hall, with President Walker in the chair. Mr. John Meiklejohn reported that he had seen Mr. Claude F. King, secretary of the Brightwood Avenue Association, and arranged for a conference with the Com- missioners in reference to the crossing at the junction of Rock Creek Church road with Brightwood avenue. Said crossing is in bad condition, and dangerous to the life and limb of both man and beast. The question of hedge fences then came up, it betng shown that several were al- lowed to grow for years without being trimmed, thus encroaching in some in- stances some six or eight feet upon the public roadways, and on motion the road committee was instructed to make com- plaint to the Commissioners and ask that a remedy be provided. After appointing a committee of one to have five hundred blank receipts printed and transacting some minor business, the meeting adjourned. ee Bill in Equity.

Cases Before the Police Court Judges There were twemty-one prisoners in the Police cells this morning, and twenty of them were in Judge Kimball's procession. In this gathering there were eleven colored men, eight white men and one white wo- man. The woman’s name was Mamie Smith, and she was in the lead when the precession started. Policeman Flather had arrested her because she was known as a woman of evil life, but when ar- raigned she said “not guilty.” She was required to give fifty-dollar bonds or serve sixty days. . A colored man named Frank Boswell was charged with being a suspicious person. He was arrested last evening in front of the Baltimore and Ohio depot, where Policeman Harlow found him trying to dis- pose of a carriage robe to a hackman. “And,” added the officer, “he had a large stone in his pocket.” “Do you want this case disposed of to- day?” the officer was asked. ‘No, your honor,” he replied. find the owner of the robe.” . The case went over until next week. When the clerk called the next case thirteen lodgers from the Trinidad sand house appeared, nine white and four colored. The sand house was just as comfortable last night as it was the night before, when sixteen men were found there. But last night the men went in a part of the build- ing where they thought they would not be detected, but the police found them this morning about 2 o'clock, and transferred them from the warm bed of sand to iron beds in the police station. Most of the men were sent down. : Harry Powell went to the station last night and asked for lodgings. Z ‘I went to the Mission first,” he said, it it was full.” » When are you going to leave the city?” As soon as I get a chance.” = ll release you,” the judge told him, ‘and if you are caught here after today you will be sent down.” .Andrew Mead, a good-looking little colored boy, wearing a piece of red ribbon ong his coat Ae charged with vagrancy, ‘ause he tried to get in thi te Test alone Be e patent office He told the watchman he could not get in home so late at night, and wanted a place to sleep.

A young man named Thomas Leach, who was found begging in the Capitol grounds, told the judge that his relatives live in Baltimore, and the court held him until they are heard from. —-__ Unnecessary Arrest. Howard Knox and Policeman Cox figured in a case in Judge Kimball's court this morning. The fo¥mer.is a boy who lives at the corner of 3d and G streets northwest, and the policeman arrested 1im because he and a companion were standing on the corner in front cf his own home. <Accord- ing to the evidence of the hoys they had been on the corner just about three min- utes, trying to determine which way they would go. The policeman said that the keeper of the drug store had complained about a crowd of boys standing on the corner, and he (ihe officer) had spoken to the boys when he saw them sitting in the yard in front of the house. Lawyer Wood- worth appeared as counsel for the boy be- cause he is acquainted with him and he knew something of his good conduct about that corner. Policeman Cox had more to say about the complaints tham he did about the particu- lar boy, and he told the court how he put on his citizen’s clothes and played cetec- tive on the boy. During the trial of the case it was brought out that there are several saloons not far from this corner, and in which crowds are permitted to congregate with- out fear of molestation. Counsel thought it was not a good thing to drive the bcys from pillar to post until they were finally forced to drinking places, und was at a loss to know just why the boy should have been arrested. Judge Kimball spoke of the matter of complaints made about boys and said that a number of complaints had been made about boys at a corner in the same neigh- borhood. The judge said he would certainly take no action that would tend in any way to drive boys to drinking places. He said he would dismiss the case and he hoped the officer would have no further trouble with boys about this corner. an No Good Reason. Relative to the request of Rev. F. H. Hill, pastor of the Metropolitan Wesley A. M.E. Zion Church,representing the residents in the vicinity of 3d and D streets south- west, that the public pump on that corner be retained, Capt. Burr, in his report to the Commissioners upon the subject, states that the chemist of the health department and the District chemist have each report- ed that the water in the well at the corner of 3d and D ®streets southwest is sus- picious. The latter chemist has recom- mended that the well be closed and the same has been approved by the Commis- sioners. There are public pumps at the corner of 3d and C streets, 2d and E streets, also a hydrant on D street beiween 3d_and 4th streets. Under the circumstances, says Capt. Burr, there does not seem to be any good reason why the well in question should be kept in service, and he recommends that the previous order of the Commissioners be executed. It is the Commissioners’ inten- tion to close this well without delay. . ee Virginian Hot Springs.

A number of persons:who Have children attending the Westerm High School, in Georgetown, have expressed their opinion that the school ought.to be closed while repairs are going on, as, in;their judgment, the present condition, of the building is dangerous. According to Building Inspector Brady, however, there is no cause for uneasiness or comment in regard to the condition of the building. Recently the. work of putting in new stairways wus begun. One staircase is now finished, and, ng work on the other, the pupils of the school make use of the first in passing to and from the large exhibition hall on the upper floor of the building. The improvement -necessita- ted the setting back of the upper landing to an extent that interferes with opening the large doors, and the passage way has therefore heen reduced in size. The principal, Miss Wescott, urged that the school be closed during the work, as she feared the result would be disastrous if a panic should occur and the 215 pupils attempt to pass through the narrow door- way. The application was refused and thereupon the situation was made public. Building Inspector Brady told a Star re- porter that if Miss Wescott would permit the door to be removed from the hinges all Would be well. This afternoon Mr. Brady intends to begin the construction of a ves- tibule projecting into the exhibition hall. This will be completed by the time the school convenes on Monday morning, and the present difficulty will, he says, then be permanently remedied. Until this after- noon, added Mr. Brady, the doorway may be made as large as it ever was by merely lifting the doors from the hinges. es TO HELP THE WORKINGMAN. Prof. Adler Recelves 2 Warm Outburst of Thanks fur His Lectures. “Moral Ideas as an Aid tn the Solution of the Labor Question” was the subject yes- terday of Prof. Adler's last lecture in the winter session of the School of Applied Ethics. He stated the case for the work- ingman and asked that there be held out to him means of moral support. The public library, or museum and art gallery, were good, but there should also be something in the nature of an offset to the grog-shop. Manchester, England, has several town halls, where workingmen meet. ‘There should be several such in every large city. Wages should be kept up at a living rate and labor saved from degradation. Arbi- tration should be employed to adjust dif- ferences between laborer and employer and public opinion must be aroused and felt for the laboringman’s sake. At the close of the lecture a rising vote of thanks was given Prof. Adler and a long, loud cheer. The half hour following was given up to an informal reception, many of the audience seizing the opportunity to thank Prof. Adler for his work for the school and the pleasure derived from his lectures. BENNING CITIZENS. Strong Petition in Regard to Railway Facilities. The Benning Citizens’ Association is thoroughly aroused on the subject of street car facilities, and at its regular meeting Tuesday evening the road committee was commended for its action in circulating numerous petitions to be signed by resi- dents and property owners of Benning and vicinity, praying for the immediate passage of H. R. No. 6724,.which authorizes the ex- tension of the Columbia railway out Ben- ning road to Central avenue and also out Bladensburg road to the District line. These petitions were prepared in dupli- cate, one for the Senate and one for the House, and they have been signed by nearly all the property owners in and about Benning and on the Bladensburg road. At a special meeting of the associa- tion Wednesday evening a committee was appointed to present the petitions to Con- gress, and yesterday morring they were delivered to the Senate and House District committees by Messrs. Keyser, Miller, Broome and Wood, representing the asso- ciation. —_—_——__ Butter Prices Down Lower Still. 5-Ib. boxes of Finest Creamery Butter $1.25. D.
