Cases of Youthful ae Who Did Not Go Home—The Sen- tences Imposed. Judge Kimball was*a little late opening court this morning, but there was not much business to transact and the delay did not cause the hungry prisoners much trouble. ‘There were only seventeen victims in the procession, and only three full-grown men among them. Most of the prisoners were colored boys and charges of vagrancy were numerous. When the procession started two young colored men, William Clark and Walter Stewart, were in the lead, and they plead not guilty to a charge of vagrancy. “Last night they came to the station and asked for lodging,” said an officer, “and they were unable to give good accounts of themselves.” “I appear for Stewart,” said Lawyer Moss, “and know that he is not a vagrant. His father lives in Anacostia and owns considerable property.” “Well,” said the judge, “let's hear from the prisoner. What were you doing out so late last night?” “I have been away,” answered Stewart, pan had just returned from out of the city.” “Why did you not go home?” “It was late, and I thought I'd wait and finish my journey this morning.” “But the street cars were running,” said the judge. “Why didn’t you get on one of them and ride home?” didn’t have any change in my pocket.” “Now, your honor,” said counsel, “I ask that Stewart be discharged, for there is nothing against him. He was not begging.” “Asking for lodging,” said the judge, “is begging for assistance.” “But the police stations offer induce- ments.”" “If they do I don’t know it. All the win- ter the lodgers have been brought in as vagrants.” Clark said he belongs in Round Hill and he was going to leave here this morning to return home. He denied that he even asked the police to give him lodging and said he was willing to pay the only 10 cents he had for the privilege of sleeping on the floor. The prisoners were released on their a sonal bonds. as An Old Offender. Peter Short, a man with one arm, next appeared as a vagrant, and the judge recognized him, because he had been in the procession several times before. Policeman Bateman made the complaint against him. “He was on Pennsylvania avenue yester- day afternoon begging,” said the officer, “and was Stopping ulmost every one who came along.” He begsed the court to release him, say- ing his mother is getting old, and he wants to see her again. “ll give you one more chance,” said the court, “and if you are found here after to- day you will be sent down, and your sen- tence will be more than thirty days.” George Johnson, a young colored man who went to the police station and asked for a place to sleep, was sent down for ten days. A young white man named Joseph W. Williams, who says he lives in Baltimore, next appeared on a charge of vagrancy and suspicion, and he admitted that he had begged of persons at the corner of Penn- sylvania avenue and 1lth street. se 3 came over here to look for a job,” he said, “and I expect to go to work tomor- row.” “Where have you been stopping?” “At the wood yard,” was his response, and he exhibited his hand in corroboration of what he said. “But you must not beg on the street,” the judge told him. “I certainly will not beg if I can help it,” said the young man. “I’m sorry I had to do it, and I assure your honor it’s no pleas- ure to me.” He was released on his own recognizance. Small Boys. Eight little colored boys were called on a charge of having engaged in a game of crap. “The only witness against them,” said Mr. Pugh, “is a colored boy who is in the work house.” As the witness was missing the case had to go over until tomorrow. James Dorsey, a colored boy, who said he understands all about the game of crap, was in the procession, and the charge against him was disorderly conduct. “Was he noisy?” ” answered Policeman “Muller; “the boys were engaged in a crap game and they were quiet.” “How do you know he was in the game?” “I looked through a crack in the fence and saw the boys in a lot.” The boy denied that he was engaged in the game and corroborated the evidence of the officer that there was no disorder there, but the court fined him $10. The next case was that of a white boy, who was seen in an alley witnessing a game of crap, and he was fined $5. Leo Burns is the name he gave, and Policeman Hartigan said he did not believe the boy ‘was a crap shooter. “But he was there,” said the officer. And the court imposed the fine. —— THE BOARD OF TRADE. Necessity of a New Code of Laws to Be Discussed. The next meeting of the board of trade will be held at the Builders’ Exchange Wedresday evening, the 27th, at 7:30 o'clock. “The Necessity of a New Code of Laws for the District of Columbia” will be the topic for discussion. Addresses will be delivered by Judge Cole of the District Supreme Court and others, after which the question will be open for an expression of views by the members of the board. In- vitations to be present on this occasion have been sent to about 250 prominent citizens and business men, so there will doubtless be a good attendance. At the conclusion of the regular order of business formality will be laid aside and the mem- bers of the board and their guests will have the opportunity of meeting one an- otker socialiy at an informal buffet lunch. —e Peath of Mr. Ebenezer P.

Bright’s disease was the cause of desth. Mr. Cross was sixty-four years of age and came to this city in 1850 from Vansville, Prince George’s county, Md.

McMullin of the Baltimore bar delivered the Thursday lecture at the Catholic University yesterday afternoon, his subject being “A Plea for the Common Law.” The thesis compared civil or Roman law with the commen law which grew out of the usages and decisions of the Norman- English people. In some respects the speaker made answer to the lecture de- livered a week ago by Justice Morris on the same theme. Jidge Morris had extolled the Justinian code; Mr. McMullin declared that English common law was vastly superior in all countries which maintain English customs and speak the English language. Entering upon the consideration of the in- tion of trial by jury as contrasted with decision of a single judge,Mr. McMullin cited numeréus quotations from such au- thorities as Charcellor Kent, Fitz James Stevens and Chief Justice Taney, and made a strong argument for his proposition, and reviewed {ts workings in our system of jurisprudence. ——___ Columbian’s New Professor.

A Company Chartered in Alexandria to Buy Washington Property. Judge Norton of the corporation court of. Alexandria in chambers yesterday granted a charter of incorporation to the Woodley Land Company, the objects of which are to buy, sell and lease land, erect and improve buildings, build water works, gas works, roads, etc. The principal office is to be lo- cated in Alexandria. The capital stock was fixed at $7,000,000. The following officers were named for the first year: J. J. Hemp- bill of South Carolina, president; A. 8. Porter cf Boston, vice president; D. E. Fox of Washington, secretary, and A. Mar- cus of New Jersey, treasurer. Mr. G. L. Booth will Reprerent the company in Alex- andria. In addition to the officers above name@ the following are members of the board of directors: E. Rollins Morse of Boston, W. J. Curtiss of New York and Charles 8. Mil- ler of Boston. It is understood that this new organization will have the options on some 400 acres of land lying between Rock creek and the Tenleytown road and Massa- chusetts avenue and the Woodley road. Some months ago options were secured from the owners of this property by Mr. John F. Waggaman and others, who were interested in a scheme for developing this property and making it available for resi- dence purposes in a character appropriate to that section, which is an extension of the handsome residence portion of the city. The principal owners of the land covered by the property are Mr. John W. Thomp- son, who owns some 200 acres on both sides of Massachusetts avenue extended from Rock creek to the Tenleytown road; Mr. Francis G. Newlands, who owns the Busey Place and Woodley, the latter being the country home of the President, and Mr. BES E. Waggaman, who owns Woodley ark. Time Extended. Pending negotiations by the promoters of this enterprise to secure the money neces- sary for the purchase of the property and its development, the period of the options expired. The time, however, has been ex- tended and the promoters are at work se- curing the co-operation of capitalists both in New York and Boston. The formation of a company, which was effected gegen in Alexandria, it is stated, is one of steps taken in the development of this se terprise. Under the terms of the arrange- ment made with the owners of the property the proposed purchasers, before they can enter upon possession of the property, are to pay one-third cash and the balance in deferred payments secured on the property, The total amount involved in the purchase of the entire property is about $2,500,000. It is understood that the renewed option on one of the large pieces of property expires about the middle of next month, but that it can be renewed upon the payment of a certain amount in cash. The president of the company was former- ly a member of the House from South Caro- lina, and is now a resident of this city. Mr. Duane E. Fox, the secretary, is also a resident of this city.

The following semi-official statement was obtained by the Associated Press last night in London in regard to the trouble between Great Britain and Nicaragua: Gen. Barrios, the Nicaraguan envoy, left London with the British demands for com- pensation in the sum of £15,000 for the ex- pulsion from Bluefields of Mr. Hatch, the British consular agent there, and also for the appointment of a commission to ad- judicate the damages sustained by the per- sons and property of British subjects ex- pelled from the Mosquito reservation, Gen. Barrios, it is understood, has since submitted the matter to the government of the United States, with the object of en- listing sympathy and aid. The statement that Great Britain stipulated that no citizen of the United States should be a member of the commission mentioned is inaccurate. It is the opinion in diplomatic circles here that the demands of Great Britain are ex- ceptionally small and that the aggravation warranted even severer measures. —__+e+—____ BROKERS FIGHT POLICE. The Latter Arrest a Prominent Mem- ber of the London Stock Exchange. For three evenings past Throgmorton street, In the city porticn of London, a thoroughfare where after hours a curb- store stock market is held, has been the scens of great disorder. The street being quite narrow, the assemblage of brokers almost completely blocked it. On Tuesday evening the police tried to clear the side- walks and arrested a broker who refused to move on. The crowd attacked the police and three other brokers were arrested. When the brokers gathered last evening in Throgmorton street the police diverted vehicles unnecessarily into that thorough- fare, with the view of dispersing the crowds of brokers. Mr. Paxton, a proml- nent member of the stock exchange, ex- postulated with a police inspector, and this caused a renewal of the disorder, resulting in the arrest of Mr. Paxton. The crowd at- tempted to rescue the prisoner, but failed. Tha general opinion expressed in London is that the police will be worsted, as a market has been held in Throgmorton street without interference fcr years, the street dealings being chiefly American and Seuth African securities. a Mayor Strong Opposed. For the first time Mayor Strong of New York has openly declared against the police bills of the majority of the Lexow commit- tee. Late last night Senator Lamy gave out the answer of the mayor to the tele- gram sent him yesterday morning by the senator asking his opinion of the bills. The mayor says: “Senator Lam: Regarding I have endeavored to say as littie as possible regarding any bills be- fore the legislature. The voice of the peo- ple, expressed last November, was not in accordance with either of these bills. (Signed) W. L. STRONG.” —_+ e+ _—_____ Big Gain for the Workingmen.
