JUDGE KIMBALL’S COURT Sad Casa of a Young Woman and Strong Drink. First Offense — Other Cases in the ‘Police Court Today —Long Line of Prisoners. Louis La Belle, an old soldier, headed the procession in Judge Kimball's court thts morning, and plead guilty to a charge of vagraacy. “This man has been here before,” re- marked Judge Kimball. “What is the mat- ter with him this time?" “Same old disease,” said Policeman Mans- field. “Drunk, and wants to go down. Last night he surrendered, ard said he wanted to go down until next pension day, in Sep- tember. “This is only.a repetition of the same old story,” the court remarked. ‘These old soldiers get the’r pension money, and then go off and get drunk. When their money is gone they want the District to support them. It is high time that this is being stopped, and I think I had better give this man more time than he wants.” “Judge, your honor,"’ said the old soldier, “give me sixty days this time, and when I get out I will let whisky alone. When I get my next pension I am going to the Day- ton, Ohio, Soldiers’ Home, there. “That's what you had best do,” said the judge, “for I have no faith in your prom- isea about letting liquor alone.” The old man was given thirty days more than he wanted, and he went down to wear the stripes. Inflexible Judge. There was a sad sight presented when the next case was called. The prisoner was Mamie Curtin, daughter of Charles Curtin, the well-known contractor. Miss Curtin is a handsome young woman, not vet twenty-five years old. She lives at the home of her father, and keeps house for him. Although sh» had been addicted to drink for some months, this was her first appearance in the Police Court procession, where she stood in a crowd of men and women, many of them of the lowest order. “She was found sleeping in an areaway on Myrtle street about 11 o'clock last night,” said a policeman. “She was intox- iceted, and did not know where she . ‘I was not drunk,” said the young wo- man, who showed keenly her feelings o' her sad experience. “I'm not a vagrant, she adied. “I have a father and a good home. He supports me.” “But you were drunk last night?” queried the court. “No, sir,” she responded; drunk last night.” ceman Lynch was called, and he cor- “I was not reborated the evidence given by his brother onfiver. Persons in court who heard the case t as it was her first appearance ‘ourt would say to ner words of en- couragement and release her on her per- sonal bonds. They thought that her sad experience had been enough of a lesson to but Judge Kimball held her gullty of charge of vagrancy, and imposed a ence of thirty days in default of real estate security. When Prosecuting Attorney Pugh came into court he called Judge Kimball's at- tention to the case. He said he had inquir- ed into the case and had learned that it was the young woman's first offense, and he suggested that she be released on her personal bonds and not sent dow He thought it was a case in which the woman the should not be sent to the workhouse. “I thi this is not a case in which the defendant should be released. The officers said she had been on a spree for a month, and one of them said she was a woman of bad reputation, and she will have to give bond, “Will your honor set aside the sentence and let me nolle pros. the case?” Mr. Pugh asked. But Judge Kimball would not consent to do this. “If I had heard the facts in the case be- fore the paper was sent into court,” sald Mr. Pugh, “I would not have filed the charge. Judge Kimball declined to reopen the cuse at that time. Later in the day, how- ever, he released the woman on her per- sonal bonds. Other Canes. Next in line came a colored woman nam- ed Ella Randolph, a resident of Louse al- ley, who had been in court many times be- fcre. The proof against her was entirely different from that cgainst Mamie Curtin. Two policemen told of how she had heen living about the South Washington alleys, end she was given sixty days on the farm in default of security. Sarah Cart>:, a colored woman arrested on M street for Jlisorderly conduct, came next, and she said guilt Before the usial fue wes imposed, Police- man Maher said he desired to speak. “After I arresced this woman she con- tinued to use bad and ecbusive language.” “This thing of persons swearing while under arrest,’ said the court, ‘‘cught to be Bove d. This woman is fined $10 or thirty da: Lewis R. Dang2rfleld, a little colored man 2d on Paiterson street yes- . Was a member of the procession. He had been guilty of gross indecency, and a peliceman and several witnesses were in court to give evidence against him. The evidence was of a character that no doubt was left in the mind of the court concerning the guilt of the prisoner. “This case,” said the court, “is one of gross indecency, and one in which the highest fine must be imposed.” A sentence of $250 or six months was im- posed. ————— AMUSEMENTS.

GERMANS WILL ORGANIZE A Club to Be Formed to Enjoy Outings in the Country. Recent Proh!bition of Sunday Beer Drinking at the Ruppert Farm Hastens Them to Action. A large number of citizens who belong to one or the other of the numerous German social and benoyelent societies have been for a long time considering the feasibility of securing a conyenientiy situated site near Washington upon which to erect a commodious club house, at which, and in the surrounding grounds, the members and their families may enjoy recreation and rest when chey feel so inclined. Those who were willing to further such an enterprise have been propagating the idea of it among their brethren with mueh energy, and last year something like organization was reach- ed, when it became the custom of many Germans to take their families out to the Ruppert farm, north of Washington, in the District, and’ enjoy pienics. Sunday was the favorite day for such occasions, as it is with German people universaliy, and they were much pleased with the opportunity thus given for socia! meeting and friendly intercourse. Of course there was beer to refresh their inner men with, but no money was spent for it at the farm. It was bought by the organizations to which the members belonged, and the latter secure it by presenting tickets, which they + cured from their society treasurers and paid for at a pro rata price. No trouble ever occurred at Ruppert's farm: no in- toxication was noticed in the home-going crowds in the evening. and no complaints Were made about the Sunday gutherings or the way they amused themsel The eighth precinct policemen recently believed it to be their duty to see if tne Jaw egainst selling liquor on Sunday was rot being broken at Ruppert's barn, and four” members of the German Benevolent Soclety who were serving beer to their fel- Jow memkers and receiving tickets for It Were arrested. They were convicted in the Police Court of violating the liquor laws, but sentence was suspended. This action has determined the German ‘societies to carry out their original intention and establish a club, to be composed of mem- bers of the various German organizations in the District. A regularly incorporated association will be formed, something upon the plan of the Country Club, and a plot of land will be secured in the Distr ont- side of Washington, and a ch house erected. This will prevent the Germans from being annoyed or interfered with in and their characteristic Sund: pleas raids for illegal liquor selling will be vented. ——____ PLANS COMPLETED For the Great Christian Endenvor Excursion to Boston, All details are about completed for the big excursion of the Christian Endeavorers and their friends to the inte onal con- tion to be held in Boston July 10 to 15, s Royal Blue vestibule the Baltimore nd Ohio railroad at 10:10 a.m., and rsey City about 4 p.n special Xx boat will there take the party direct to the pier of the Providence and Stoning- ton Steamship Company. ‘The special steamboat planned to be run by Washing- ton in conjunction with New York and Brooklyn, has been abandoned by all par- ties, and the Washington committee has secured satisfactoi aboard the regular steamer, ts,"" leaving Pier 36 at 50 p.m. Tuesday. The other New York delegations will also take the regular steamer on Wednesday night. The “Massachusetts” will practicaily be a Christian Endeavor steamer, as Washing- ton and Richmond, Va., delegates have en- gaged nearly every state room aboard. The party will have a delightful sail up the sound and arrive at Providence early Wednesday morning. They will probably breakfast at Providence, and take a special train from there to Boston in the forenoon. Most of the delegates will be quartered at the elegant Copley Square Hotel, which is in the same block with the main conven- tion hall. It should be known that no per- sons will be permitted afoard the special train without the particular ticket sold by the Christian Endeavor committee. = EXCURSIONS. With such an attractive place as Mar- shall Hall to spend the day, or even a few hours, no one should miss the opportunity of such a trip down the Potomac. The rumerous attractions found there, includ- ing the Ferris wheel, which was set in operation yesterday, will furnish enjoyment for all. A concert will be given by Prof. Schroeder's band at the grounds all day, and the steamer Macalester will leave at 11 a.m., 289 and 6:30 p.m., and the River Queen at 3 p.m Tomorrow Capt. Randall will again have the wonderful strong woman, Minerva, to perform her wondrous feats at River View. A new act will be introduced, that of pull- ing against two powerful horses in oppo- site directions, This feat she performed befere President Diaz of Mexico, and re- ceived a gold cup from the president. No other woman in the world has ever per- formed this act. Herr Blati.will also be seen in his cannon ball catching act. There will be plenty of room tomorrow, the Pentz leaving at 1045 a.m,, 2:45 and 545 p.m. The show will be free, the fare remaining at 25 cents, children 15 cents. There will be two performances on the green lawns, and Chris Arth, jr.’s, fine band will add to the pleasure. One of the most popular trips leaving the city for those seeking pleasure and health is the thirt hour trip to Chapel Point, Md., on the steamer Harry Randall, which leaves every Sundey, Tuesday and Thurs- day at T a.m. The excursion tickets em- brace transportation, supper, lodging and breakfast at Hotel Belleview, at Chapel Point, for $2, with everything first class. Bay Ridge, the ideal salt water resort on the Chesapeake, is surely an enjoyable place, and is -enjoying at present a large patronage. Attractions of every descrip- tion, together with the Ferris wheel and toboggan slide, and the various salt wa- ter sports, add to the pleasure of all vis- itors. A delightful sail is offered to Bal- umore and return from Bay Ridge. Music will be in atierdance, and trains leave t Baltimore and Ohio depot and 3:15 p.m. The Carroll Institute give their annual excursion to Marshall Hall Monday even- ing next. A very enjoyable program has been prepared by the committee on ar- rangements, which will take place on the grounds, and which should serve to attract a large number of friends of the Institute. Besides the regulation dancing, a lawn party concert will be given by some ex- cellent talent. Those who will participate in this are the Carroll Institute Orchestra, the Columbia Quartet, Miss Whitesell, Miss Kichorn, Mr. Frank Rebstock, Prof. Wal- decker and others. A number of pupils of Prof. Joyce will give an exhibition of tum- bling and gymnasium sports. It is thought that this will be the most successful ex- cursion ever given by this popular organ- ization, and as a number of tickets have been sold the financial outcome of the af- fair is almost assured. The boat will stop at Alexandria on both trips, and tickets will be good on any of the day boats. Columbia Ledge, No. 10, I. O. O. F., will give an excursion to Bay Ridge on Wed- nesday next. A great number of friends of the order are expected and an enjoyable occasion Is assured. Tickets may be pro- cured from the committee at the depot on the day of the excursion.

While butter and eggs hold to practically the same prices as those quoted a week ago today, other products, if showing no decline throughout, at least exhibit a down- ward tendency. Those which are today lower than a week ago include potatoes, poultry and berries. Beef and other meats show no real change in prices, nor, indeed, is any looked for much earlier than fall. The market continties to be a most boun- tifully supplied one, and the gencrous rains of late are expected to result In an over supply later on. Therefore, nothing but a gradual decline in prices, so far as vege- tables and fruits are,concerned, is prob- able. Advices from the west, however, show that a long hot and dry spell has been experienced, and products from that section will not, therefore, be among those selling at low prices. The market is to- day a generally firm one, the abundant supply being met by a correspondingly large and active demand. Butter is as it was a week ago, both as to price and condition. There 's, Indecd, more irregularity noted in the quality of the fine goods, due solely to the dry, hot weather in the west. Hence, imitations ularly continue dull and weak. In all grades exhibit a summery con- . Nevertheless, prices have been sustained, and the market can hardly be said to be weak or dull. No material nge in prices is expected to soon occur, the following quotations show the ces to be as quoted last Saturda: Fancy Elgin creamery and other western extras, 1-2 cents a pound; choice, 18; fancy creamery print, iry print, 16 to 18, and Mary- d Virginia print, 14 to 16; western best, 12 to 13, and good, 9 to 10; firsts, 1 Maryland and Virginia creamery, 16 to 17, and good to prime, 11 to 13; bakers’ stock, 12 1-2 to 14. The market in cheese still continues firm, but no change in prices is observed; for large, 10 cents a pound being asked; for flats, 10 and ponys, 11. Eggs are as dull end weak as they were a week ago, and they are quoted today at the same figure they were chen, cents a dozen. Their poor condition, noticed last week, continues, even near-by stock show- ing poor qualities, The receipts In poultry are large, and hence prices are a shade lower today. Especially is this true as to spring chick- ens, although their size remains somewhat too small for other than peddlers. Today live winter chickens are quoted at from 12 to 15; spring stock, 14 to old stock, 5 to 9; ducks, 6 to 8, and geese, 5 to 7. ‘The supply of vegetables, berries and fruits is not-only unusually large, but is slightly forwird. But for the most prices are 2hout t quoted. Cu- cumber: m) cents to $1 a box; kale, 20 rel; $1.50 to $2 a bar- cents to $1 4 box; asparagus. ents to $1 a dozen; lettuce, $1.50 to h potatoes, 7 cents to da tomatoes, $1 to $1.50 Ww) cents to $1 a bar er 100 bunch hortleb: aspberries, blackberries, 8 to 10); peavhes cents to $1 a 00 to $a barrel. No prospects of any of beef and kindred meats and prices are about those of last cents a pound for live cat- spring lambs. | to 6 cents a pound: sheep, 4 to 6; coun- to 11. try sugar-cured ham: —— CLEMENCY FOR TAYLOR. East Washington Citizens Earnestly Urging Executive Action. The subcommittee appointed by the members of the East Washington mass meeting, held last Tuesday at Baum’s Hall, Capitcl Hill, to urge executive ciem- ency for Thomas J. Taylor, met last night and w called to order by the chairman, Mr. Loring Chappel. All the members were present, namely, Messrs. J. W. Babson, president of the East Washington Association; M. I. Wel- ler, P. J. Lockwood, Dr. M. C. Hazen, A. Giroward and John E, Herrell. After a ses- sion of three hours, in which time the mat- ter was fully discussed and some heated opinions advanced, declaring that it would be an outrage to allow this unfortunate man to be hanged, the following resolu- tion, on motion of Mr. Weller, was unani- mously passed: “That it is the sense of this committee, who represent 5,0) citizens of East Washington, that the sentence of Thomas J. T; jor be commuted to a sen- tence for a term of years, and that he should not be hung under any condition,and thereby ause a criminal blot upon this tion was also passed that the committee, with the addition of ten others, who are to be appointed by the chairman, walt Upon the Attorney General of the Uni: tates and present the petition of the citizens of East Washington, which, at the present time, h: KK) Names signed thereto, to him, and that after sald pre- sentation the committee wait upon District Attorney Birney and Judge Cole aud com- municate to them the views of the com- munity in which the homicide occurred, which views are unanimously in favor of commutation of sentence of death to a sentence for a term of years. It was fur- ther resolved that a telegram be sent to President Cleveland expressing these views. ‘The meeting then adjourned. ———__ Badly Burned.
