Cut and swollen heads were numerous, and a num- ber of children who had engaged in fights over fireworks appeared and swore out warrants for their alleged assailants, In the cells there were sixty-three prisoners, and among them were Jim Ford and Jessie Ford, nee McCoy, his wife, They were both celebrating with, quid fireworks yester- day, although they were not together. They met in the “Marla” this morning, and Jessie was heard to say, “Jim, why don’t you stop drinking?” Jim had been drinking and had managed to get in trouble with a colored boy who was firing a toy cannon, The loud report of the cannon attracted Jim, and he in- sisted on discharging it. But the colored boy objected, and Jim’s cheap liquor just made him feel as if he could take a whole arsenal from the boy. Magnus Chin, the colored boy, had a string tiled to the can- non, and when he swung it about his head {t came In contact with Jim’s eye, which will be discolored for several weeks. Judge Kimball said he did not object to persons celebrating the Fourth in a proper way. The boy's celebration was recognized as proper and he was discharged, while Jim was fined $10 or thirty days, When the name George Robinson was called a man whose appearance indicated that he had been in an explosion appeared and sald “guilty” to a charge of disorderly. How he managed to get his clothing 80 badly disfigured was not shown in the tes- timony, nor was his manner of celebrating meas known, but the usual fine was im- posed. Desperate Character. Marcus Notes, a furniture dealer, caused some amusement when he appeared on the witness stand and made wholesale charges against a colored infant, who answered the name of Amos Dorsey. “He's a fiend, devil, blackmailer and thief,” said the furniture dealer, “and he'll be hung before he Is twenty years old if he ain't locked up.” He added that he had not exaggerated the case. The youthful prisoner was charg- ed with the serious offense of throwing stones. He had no fireworks to throw and so he threw the stone: “How old are you?” Judge Kimball asked the boy. “I don't know,” he answered. “Where's your father?” “I don’t know.” “Where's your mother?” “She's dead.” “With whom do you lve? “My aunt.” The case went over to hear from his friends. Rebecca Williams, colored, whose tire caused her to be called “Qu of Queen's alley,” walked up to the rail, said she was guilty of a charge of disorderly conduct and went back because she did have $5. "m guilty,” sanswered Charles’ Miller, who was arraigned for disorderly conduct. “The court fines you $5.” “Are you an inmate of Soldiers’ Home?” asked the court of the man, who was wear- {ng a blue suit and brass buttons. “Yes, your honor,” the old soldier an- swered. “Do you want me to send word to the home for you?” “Yes, sir,” he answered, “but I haven't any ney there." He stepped back. James Ball, a man whose indecent con- duct on the street yesterday got him in trouble, was fined $10 or thirty days. Other Cases. John O'Connell dropped on the sidewalk last evening before he got home because he had not been given some bromo seltzer to cure “that tired feeling,” and Policeman McDaniels made a case on him. “Guilty” was his plea to a charge of ob- structing the sidewalk, and the usual fine was imposed, “I know this: man,” sald Policeman Pat Creagh, “and I know he'll pay the fine. Policeman Creagh’s youching for the man vas suifictent, and he was given time to settle the bill. William Moore was in the tofls for ha’ ing violated the same law. He plead gul! but as there w no one to vouch for him he was sent down. John Ryan, an able-bodied man, plead guilty to a charge of vagrancy, and went down for a month. George Simonds, Willam Duffy and James Thornton plead guilty to charges of y at- profanity, and were fined $5 each. Two young colo. men, Jordan Von and Calvin Ba) attended divine services at the Rock kk Baptist Church last night. They celebrated by disturbing the meeting, but not with fireworks, Judge Kimball suggested that the men were “fired,” and they were fined $10 each. —_——_— EXCURSIONS.

Yes- terday morning between 2 and 4 o'clock they began operations again at the home of Mr, Jerome Lightfoot, on Terrace Heights, at the corner of the Ridge and New Cut roads. An entrance was sought through the basement windcw. A slat in the shutter was cut qs with a sharp knife or razor, and then the blinds forced open. ‘When this much had been accomplished Mr. Lightfcot thinks he must have been awakened. As it_was time for the hired man to be aroused, he called for him to go to market, and thfs in all probability frightened the fellow or fellows off. Poisoning Animals, Animal peisoners are at work here. Sey- eral valuable dogs have met death sudden- ly with all symptoms attending polsoning and day before yesterday a valuable horse belonging to Mr. John Beckwith, that had been grazing on the property of Mr. Chas. H, Trummell, died in the same manner. Almost at the same time a mare belonging to Mrs. Rosle Railing, a relative of Mr. Trummell, Seance | in Frederick, died through poison, and a few hours later her three-year-old colt expired. Mrs, Railing was visiting her sick aunt at Mr. Trum- mell’s home at the time, Mr. Beckwith has also lost a fine cat of valuable breed within the last few days through poison, Mr. Trummel!l in reporting the polsonings remarked that “the souls of the eminent thugs of India couldl live in the society of theso American horse and cat poisoners in ecstacy.” Police Arrests. There were nineteen arrests here yester- day for miscellareous offenses, including murder, assault and battery, violating po- lice regulaticns, drunkenness, larceny, threats and earrying coucealed weapons. —— COLLECTION OF FIRES. Several of The and One of Incen- dinry Nature. This‘ morning about 2 o'clock some fire flend made an attempt to burn the store of Clarence Price, No. 633 L street southwest. Fortunately for the owner, the fire was discovered soon after the incendiary did his work, and No. 4 engine extinguished the flames before much damage was done. Last evening about 8 o'clock an alarm of fire was sounded for fire in the house of W. L. Matthews, No. 10) S street, where the damage amounted to about $15. About 9 o'clock last night there was a slight fire at 315 Pennsylvania avenue, catsed by a’ rocket passing through en open window. The rocket set fire to the curtain and caused about $15 damage. A firecracker thrown on an awning In ficnt of Palmer's store, corner of 6th and E streets northeast, yesterday afternoon caused a fire which’ resulted in the turn- ing in of an alarm. Besides the burning of the awning no damage was done. Fireworks caused a slight fire on the roof of 454 New York avenue last night. The fire was extinguished by No. 8 engine company. A Ww INTERIOR. Improvements in St. Patrick's Charch Mean Nothing Else. When it was announced about a month ago that improvements .pon the interior of St. Patrick's were contemplated many persons thought that the alterations and repairs would simply be the work tht every congregation is under the necessity of putting on its house of worship once every four or five years. Now it transt however, that the people of St. Patrick’s are determined to make the interior of their edifice one of the finest in the coun- try. Fully thirty thousand dollars is the out- lay that the plans call for as prepared by the architect, and at least a third of this sum is to be spent on a magnificent altar. carving of the altsr Is now being done Itt onyx. that the materials used in th ion should be of the very best quality simples were obtained from the best quarries in the world, and the result will be sean when the church is ready for |.worship again, which will be some time next fall. Some idea of the size of the al- tar may be gained when it is stated that the height from the base to the topmost pinnacle ts more than thirty-five feet, high- er than some ordinary houses. THe Altar and Trbernacle. Tho altar per will be reached by a filght of three broad, flat, white marble steps. At the top of these steps will be a table, also of marble, ard supported at each end by large onyx pillars, elabo decorated at tha bases and capitals tween these pillars is to be a bas relief of the Lord’s Supper, and to the right and left of this are to be, respectively, squares of carving. Along the upper edge of the altar a frieze In relief will run along the front. J Above the altar and projecting nearly half way toward the front will be place the tabernacle. This isto be the crowning glory of the whole sanctuary, and, In keeping with tho rest of the altar, will be elaborately carved and in the samo design. In the center a pinnacle will rise to a height of thirty-five feet above the base of the altar, and io the right and left of this pinnacle are to be smaller cnes, decorated in the same style es the larg The center of these columns ts twen fi in height, and those to the right and left thirteen feet in height. Above the altar will be placed a handsome crucifix between two statu the subjects of which have not been decided upen. Frescoing the Walls. Besides this altar other work {s being done at present in the church that will have the effect of harmonizing the whole Interlor on tho same scale of magnificence. Workmen are engaged ir frescoing the in- terior, and their efforts are already ap- parent in the graceful tracery that has made its appearance {n many piaces on the lig. ‘The figuring and border work 1s es- necially handsome, and is being done by Costagini, the artist who is engaged in fin- ishing similar work in the rotunda of the Capitol. Around the top of the sanctuary will be a frieze of angels, and in niches in the walls of the sanctuary will be repre- sentations of the saints. The general ef- fect of the coloring of the church will be that of green and gold, and when lit up at night by the twelve electric lights now be- ing pizced in position will present a scene of splendor seldom surpassed in a religious edifice.

Shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday there was a tragedy here, at the corner of 33d and M stre:ts, in which John, alias Patsy, Harriss killed Matthew Speuell. Both par- tietpants in the exeitement were colored. Death was dealt through the bullets from @ revolver—three being fired at the victim— one taking effect. It struck Speuell in the apex of the heart, and produced death within an hour. The affair occurred while the streets of the vicinity were crowded with the holiday celebrants, Speuell was shot down in the vestibule of Quackenbush’s house, on the corner, where he fled, hoping to escape Harriss, who had chased him from his home, 1085 32d street. Witnesses say the killing was intensely dramatic. The victim rushed with all his might toward the spot where death was met, Harriss following closely with pointed revolver. At the doorway Speuell turned and attempted to pass through the Quack- enbush entrance. Harriss was upon him in an instant. Speuell, it is said, turned his tactics and attempted to defend him- self. A short struggle ensued and the shots rang out. The victim was taken immediately to the Emergency Hospital, where he died a lit- tle later. When the deed was done Har- riss ran. He was followed closely and finally captured by ex-Policeman Ben. Har- per, who turned him over to Officer Har- rison. The Prisoner. The prisoner was scen in his cell at the seventh precinct today by a Star reporter. He was smoking a cigarette, while a bool was lying beside him, He Is an intelligent- appearing fellow—neat, light In color, and twenty-three years of age, He has a wife and two children.

The Revolver. Harriss claimed that he never carried a reyolyer except on certain nights when he acted as waiter at Jack Heath's gambling den on the Virginia side of the river. It being a holiday, he was to start earlier. While Harriss claimed that he had not been drinking at all, it was acknowledged by him that his wife had taken the revolver from him once In the afternoon and thrown i low for fear it would get him Later he found the weapon.

Dr. Radclifie Spenks on the Love of Country. At the regular midweek prayer meeting at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church last night the pastor, Rev. Dr. Wallace Radcliffe, chose for the subject of his address the dangers of a decline of patriotism, signs of which, he thought, he could read in customs and fads of some Americans of today. He cited,for example, the effect the reading ef the Declaration of Independence at the exercises at the monu- ment yesterday morning had upon the as- sembled crowd; some, it seemed, were deep- ly stirred with patriotic fervor, while others were careless or even indifferent and show- ed Httle respect to_the sentiments of the historic document. He deprecated the fash- fon which was so generally spreading over the country of a seeming preference for foreign things and customs rather than those distinctively American, and this, he said, was a distinct danger. It will be a sad day, he said, for the country when patriotism’ shall ‘wane. The Christian church, continued Dr. Radcliffe, is cnsible for preserving and encouraging m in the hearts and minds of the He said the defi purpose of rims in settling in America was lom in worshiping God, and eenized always in the tra- laws and institutions of. this was the duty of the church to country as a Christian nation, end he advocated the restora- if tiblic schools, lester to Marshall Hall and In- jay and Saturday evenings ditions and 1 nd.

Atay FOR SHOOTING BODINE. J. ©. Ball om Trial for His Life ai Manassas. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. MANASSAS, Va., July 5, 1895. The trial of J. O. Ball for the shooting of William Bodine {s in progress here. About two weeks ago the county of Prince Will- iam was thrown into excitement by the shooting of Bodine by Ball. Ball at once gave himself up, claiming that he shot in self-defense. Last week the grand jury found a true bill against him, and the court set Wednesday for his trial. Long before the hour set for trial the court house was crowded with people from all parts of the county. The defense had as counsel Repre- sentative Meredith, assisted by R. Walton Moore of Fairfax, and the commonwealth attorney, J. B. T. Thornton, had Lawyer Campbell and Eppa Hunton, jr., of Fau- quier. The case was opened with the following jurors in their places: Jro. P. Gaines, BE. B. vector, Geo. W. Downs, Jno. C. Gossman, Jas. W. Smith, Charles W. Forsyth, Geo. 8. Pickett, Geo. W. Mayhew, J. B. Pickett, Oscar Lynn, D, J. Ayers, G. H. Utterbach. Mr. Campbell stated the case. Mr. Mere- dith replied to Mr. Campbell and related the circumstances of the shooting. These circumstances, he intended to show, were the outgrowth of a feeling in the mind of Ball that Bodine in- tended to do him great bodily harm. Bodine was a great, strong man, while Ball was weak and afflicted with rheumatism. When the court convened in the after- recn, Willle Bodire, a ten-year-old son of the dead man, testified that he and his father were coming up the road, when they saw Ball and his son coming toward them on horseback. When his father came near Ball he said, “We may as well settle this matter now,” and seiz.d Ball's bridle rein, and at the same time stooped down to pick up a stick. While his father was in.the act of ralsing up, with the stick in his hand,Ball shot him. This little boy withstcod cross-examina- tion with wonderful ccolness, and without changing a word of his testimony. It was -shown that as Bodine raised up after being shot he threw the stick at Ball with such force that an ugly wound was made on the side of Ball's head, and then he walked a few steps and fell dead. When Ball pulled his pistol his son Bruce cried: ‘Papa, don't, papal” ee the shooting Ball rode away on a ‘ot. : tr Dr. Bowen’s testimony corroborated Ro- ine’s gon in regard to the position of Bo- dine when Ball shot him. Mr. Woodyard, who came up after the shooting, identified the stick shown by the presecution, and told how he found it. Ball, the defendant, testified that Bodine had the stick in his hand when he seized his bridle rein, and that he did not shoot until he told him to let go, and had raised the stick to strike him. He also said that he and Bodine had had several quarrels, and in one of them he had received a thrashing that had left its marks upon him until now. After réceiving several threats from Bodine, and having consulted a lawyer, he armed himself for self-pro- tection. ———— At Narragansett Pier. Correspondence of The Evening Star. NARRAGANSETT PIER, July 5, 18: Amid a myriad of electric lights and to the music of the New York Orchestra the formal opening and first society hop of the Season at Narragansett Pler took place Saturday night. The second hop of the season was held in the Casino Wednesday evening, a goodly number of society people from New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington and Boston being in attend- ance. The Casino presents a very pretty ap- pearance this season with its new improve- ments. An extension of the ball rooth has been projected, and a new band stand ts in process cf erection on the eastern s{de of the central part of the plaza, and h®te concerts will be rendered day and evening. Bathing has begun in real earnest, and during bathing hours the beach is quite enough occupied to present a lively ap- pearance. Cycling Is fast becoming a fad at the Pier. The good roads of Narragansett Pier and the smooth, hard roadbed of the beach are used to good advantage daily by the rapidly increasing number of _ cyclists. Many of the lady riders wear bloomers, while others wear the short skirt with reg- ulation gaiters. Another fad of the hour is the new golf costume. A stranger arriving at Narra- gansett would suppose that a golf tourna- ment was on, judging by the number of alieged golfers’ seen walking about the i rhe costume includes baggy knicker- light shoes, a baggy coat and a slouch cap, which completes the attire. . Todd of Washington will oc- sant View cottage for the season. Medical Director Jackson, United States navy, with Mrs, Jackson and Miss Jackson, is again at Narragansett for the summer.
