Yesterday afternoon William Mullen, a cab driver from Washington, drove over the road to this city with two or three passengers, and on their arrival in this city the whole crowd proceeded to tank up. They drove around in town in this condi- tion, beating the horse and otherwise cruel- ly treating him, until two of the men were arrested for disorderly conduct, and the third, Mullen, was arrested by the Humane Society agent, Miss Fawcett, for cruelty to animals. In disposing of the cases this morning Mayor Strauss said that he proposed to make an example of the case, as he wanted those Washingtonians who are constantly coming here to get drunk to know that whenever they were caught breaking the state or city laws they had to pay for it. A fine of $50 was imposed. Patrinrchs Militant Ball. Odd Fellows’ Hall was well filled last night by a merry party of young people, the occasion being the Patriarchs Militant ball.

Daniels, the lat- ter is charged with unlawfully appropri- ating the former's note for $300, dated May 22, 189, payable in ninety days. The complainant alleges that Mr. Daniels told him that he knew of some one in the ‘Treasury Department who would loan him $200, and for obtaining this loan, Mr. Cooper says, he agreed to pay the defend- ant $30. He handed him the note, and the defendant stated that he would go across the street to the Treasury Department and obtain the money at once. Mr. Cooper states that the defendant did not return, and he made an unsuccessful hunt for him for two day: ally he met Daniels on the street Saturday morning, when Dan- iels explained that he had the note in escrow in a transaction which he was ne- gotiating for $1,500. He did not state who held the note, but said he expected to ob- tain the money right away, and would see the ccmplainant at noon that day in the Ebbitt House. Mr. Cooper says that the defendant failed to keep the appointment, and that afternoon he advertised in The Star warning all persons against accepting it, For the reasons stated in his bil! of complaint, Mr. Cooper asked for an in- juncticn restraining the defendant from disposing of the note, and for an order to compel him to disclose the name of the person who received it. Judge Cox granted a temporary restraining order, returnable Monday next. —_.-—_ Formerly a Resident of Washington. The death of Mr. Jasper Smith, who was for many years a resident cf Washington, has recently been officially reported to the Department of State by Consul Lathrop at Bristol, England.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: A communication published in yesterday’s Star, signed by “Old Resident,” made the statement that the contractor doing the hand work of scraping and cleaning Penn- sylvania avenue “was allowed to designate his force, starting in and continuing with & emaller outfit than the work was ever done by before.” Now, when the present con- tract was awarded I believe Major Davis Was superintendent of the street sweeping department. He was always considered a very efficient official, and I would like for him to inform us, through The Star, why the contractor was allowed to designate his force and to commence work with an out- fit that he, as superintendent, mi have kpown was insufficient. I have always un- derstood that he protested against the whole business, but was overruled by the Commissioners. The taxpayers of Wash- ington have submitted to a great deal of looseness in business methods on the part of public officials, and it is due to them that they should know why this pment service was saddled upon the Street XPAYER. ————— The Colored Exhibit at Atlanta.
