Tt the old war manitors Lehigh and Ajax, now at Norfolk, cannot be repaired for the short cruise to League Island without much expense, it is said the Navy Department will consider a proposition to tow them into deep water and Iet Admiral Bunce’s fleet attack them as a hostile fleet. It Is urged in behalf of this proposition that it would be in the interest of navat development, and would add at slight expense much valuable information as to the effect of heavy sun fire upon turret ships. It is probable, how- ever, that the naval militia men will make a. strong effort to have the monitors saved for their use as drill ships. The Diamond ShonIs Light. Reports received by the light house board indicate that the second attempt to erect a light house on the dangerous Diamond shoals off Cape Hatteras, N. C., has failed. Just what steps will next be taken to guard the important coastwise traffic against the perils of this place, a veritable sraveyard of ships, has not been determined. —__—____+o+_—___—_ The New York and the Columbia. On their arrival at New York the cruisers New York and Columbia will probably be ed out for evolutions to be performed by the North Atlantic squadron, under Ad- ral Bunce.

Arrangements have been perfected for a brilliant reception to be given to the drill team of the National Rifles on their return from St. Loufs tonight. The command is expected to reach the 6th street station at 8:30 o'clock, and will be there met by an escort, consisting of the stay-at-home members of the Rifles, dressed in civillan’s clothes, wearing fatigue caps. They will carry torches instead of guns, as will the other members of the escort—the Corcoran Cadets, the National Fencibles and Colum- Dia Division, No. 3, Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias. The escort will assemble at the armory at 7:30, and will thence march to the station. It is expected that the Mount Pleasant Field Band will arrive over the Baltimore and Ohio in time to partic- ipate in the reception, although arrang®- ments have also been made for a reception to that organization. If it is impossible to perfect the union of the two commands, other music will be provided for the Rifles. Fireworks. A special meeting was held last night In tne Rifles’ armory to make arrangements for the reception, and all the stay-at-home members agreed that the success of the drill team was sufficient to warrant their friends in this city giving them a rousing welcome home, accompanied by all the fire- works that could be set off from 6th to 15th streets without causing an actual con- flagration. Permission has been obtained from the superintendent of police to illu- minate the avenue in this way, and pyro- technics have been provided in sufficient quantities to make the sky luminous to- night. Two gross of torches have been se- cured, and will be used by the escort. This is a unique feature in late days, es a zen- uine torchlight procession has not been seen in Washington for some years. Pri- vate McNichol has charge of the illumina- tion, and his long experience in these mat- ters warrants the belief that he will make a thorough success in his department. A Banquet. A committee, consisting of Messrs. Har- rington and Cunningham, left the city Sun- day night, and met the drill team at Cincin- natl They will provide the first section of the welcome home by preparing the minds of the men for what they are to encounter. After the parade up the avenue tonight the escort and the prize winners will march to the Rifles’ armory, on G street, where they will be tendered a great reception, to which all the lady friends of the organization have been invited. The upper hall will be reserved for the ladies, while in the drill room below the military guests of the even- ing will be entertained and refreshments will be served. The Youngsters, An enthusiastic reception is to be tender- ed tonight to the youngsters of the Mt. Pleasant Field Band—formerly the Mt. Pleasant Drum Corps-—on their return from the encampment, where they have scored a tremendous success. The ladies who are Interested in the organization have planned to have the lads met at the station at 8:40, when their train fs due, by the stay-at- home members, and an invitation to par- ticipate bas been accepted by the Mt. Pleasant Brass Band, and by several of the juvenile drum corps of the city. After the young drummers, fifers and buglers have been met at the station they will be escorted to 707 M street, where they will be feasted. So much enthusiasm has_ developed among the members of troop A, National Guard, as a result of their recent march, that Capt. Barbour has determined to in- augurate a summer school to drill his men in the trumpet signals. This will take the place of the regular drill movements dur- ing the hot nigbts. The order having first been given by the officer in charge, it is to be blown by the trumpeters. After the men have become sufficiently familiar with the calls, the trumpeters will give the proper signals for the different movements, and the men, being furnished with paper ard pencils, will put down the correspond- ing verbal order. ‘aptain Barbour intends to retain the records made at these exercises, and those desii'ng promotion will find that their per- centages in this will aid or retard them, as the case may be. Renewed interest in the troop appears on all sides, and several ap- plications have been received for enlist- ment. THE LAST CHAPTER. Will of Mrs. Spranger Leaves Estate to Her Children. The will of the late Gay Beatrice Spran- ger, who was so veil known here as Miss Gay Klingle, was filed here yesterday after- nocn. The instrument is dated March 5, 1895, and District Attorney Birney and the Jate Osceola C. Green are named as ex- ecutors. By her first husband, Edward Irv- ing Darling, the deceased had two children, and they are made practically the sole beneficiaries under the will, although the deceased's second husband, Dr. Francis T. Spranger, is given an allowance of $0 a month. The executors are requested to keep the personal effects of the deceased for the children until they arrive at the age of discretion, and the Washington Loan and Trust Company ts named trustee for the residue of the estate, which is to be invested by the company for the benefit of the children. Until the children reach the age of thirteen they are to be paid $30 a month each, and after that a sum not exceeding $100 each. Upon reaching the age of twenty-five the estate is to be equal- ly divided between them or their issue. If neither of the children reach that age or if they die without issue, the estate is to be shared between Gay Bernard Tinnick and Anna D. Tait of Baltimore, aunts of the deceased, and Helen L. Rott of Port Royal,Va.,a great aunt. In a codictl attached to the will Mrs. Spranger refers to the fact that her first husband made no provision for the guardianship of the children, and she requests that thelr grandmother, Mrs. Flora Adams Darling, who is said to have aceused her daughter-in-law of poisoning her son, shall never have the custody of the children. a TAYLOR SENTENCED. Gets Five Years for the Anncostia Robbery. Rokert Taylor, who was convicted last month of robbing the store of Druggist Wm. H. Truslow, in Anacostia, last May, was today sentenced by Judge Cole to five years In the Albany penitentiary. , An unsuccessful effort was made by Tay- lor’s counsel, Mr. Windom S. Woodworth, for a new trial, and an appeal to the Court of Appeals wis voted. The prisoner denied that Tayler was his true name, but failed to state whit his nameis. He claimed that he was Innocent, and hfs counsel read two or three letters certifying to the defend- ant’s previous 500d character. Taylor was jointly indicted with his brother-in-law, Lawrence M. Boycr, for the seme o:¥ense, but the latter was acquitted. The former is now serving a sentence in jail for petty larceny. The two men were also jointly indicted for the larceny of a $15 bicycle from Ed- ward S, Keys last May. The indictment was returned on the 4th of last month. Both defendants pleaded not guilty to it, and subsequently a nolle pros. was en- tered as to Boyer. Yet not until a few days ago was it discovered that the indict- ment was invalid, because of the failure of the foreman of the grand jury to sign it. It was, therefore, nolle prossed as to both men. ~~. Claims Damages. Thernton Green has filed a suit-at-law against the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Potomae railroad companies, claim- ing $5,000 damages because of injuries al- leged to have been received by him May 13, 1895, at Maryland avenue, 13% and Water streets southwest, because of the al- Teged carelessness and negligence of the defendants. Green claims that on the day in question his wagon was struck by an engine. He received, he asserts, no warn- ing of any kind, and claims that he was severely injured in the collision, BEFORE THE POLICE COURT Men and Women in This Morning's Pro- cession, Poor Old Annie Returned to the Workhouse—Only Out One Day—Other Cases. Six colored men, one white man and one white woman. figured in Judge Kimball’ Procession this morning, and James F. Hagan, an old soldier, was the first one to face the judge. The old man was wearing his blue clothes and brass buttons, and Watchman Dillon, who does duty in Sea- ton Park, had arrested him and filed against him a charge of profanity. “I am not guilty,” was what Hagan said when the clerk arraigned him. “I might have been drinking, but I didn't swear.” “What did this man do?” Judge Kimball inquired. “Yesterday this man was drunk, your honor,” answered the park watchman, “and he was ordered out and told that if he returned he would get arrested. ‘He returned,” the watchman continued, “and when I found him he was asleep and seemed to be in a drunken stupor.” “And what did he say?” interrupted the judge. “I woke him up and told him to go out of the park,” he answered, “and he told me to go to ‘h—.'" “That's not cursing and swearing,” said the judge. “The prisoner is discharged.” Henry Williams, a young colored man, who celebrated the Fourth of July by shooting crap, was next in line, and the clerk read to him a charge of loud and boisterous talking, cursing and swearing and disorderly conduct, and he said he was not guilty of the charges. The proof was that he was in a game of crap. “Did you see the bones?” asked the policeman. “Yes, sir,” he answered, to. d I saw him in a game on the Ist of July,” said Officer Parker. “He was in a game near my back gate, and when I went out and grabbed him he bit my finger and then got away.” Wiiliams made a statement in his own behalf and was fined $10 or thirty days in each case. Judge Kimball “and the money, Poor Old Annie. Poor old Annie Foley, who has been in the court more than a hundred times, ap- peared and made an effort to beg herself out of trouble. “I just got out of the workhouse this morring about 7 o'clock," said Annie, “and I don’t want to go back again today. ae arrested her about 5 o’clock this morn- "said Officer Lohman. ms Fy hat was she doing?” the court asked. “She Was on the Tenleytown road in a ‘night liner,’ he answered, “and was dis- turbing persons living on the road. And d her she was very profane “What nave you to say now?” the judge asked Annie. “T had been taking quinine for malaria,” she safd, but the judge thought she had mixed too much whisky with her quinine. The usual fine was imposed, and Annie went down. John R. Nernisee was given a trial on a charge of indecent exposure, and a fine of $10 was imp One of the victims of the police gave his name as James and a Georgetown policeman charged him with vagrancy. James lives in Tenleytown, and is em- ployed in Georgetown. The charge was that he had spent too many of his nickels for cheap whisky. “He gets drunk too much,” said the po- liceman, “and that's why I arrested him.” “I don't have money enough to keep @rvnk all the time,” said the prisoner, “but if you let me go this time I'll do still bet- ter.” His personal bonds were taken. Had It Well An old colored man named John Wells was the prosecuting witness in the case of Vincent Dorsey and W. H. ‘Johnson, who were charged with eee, figured in a street row. . “I hear,” said the old man, “that they are brother-in-laws, ‘cause they married sisters, and they had ‘t good on the street.” “Had what?” ae fight, but Dorsey seemed to do most o! 5 “What did Johnson do?” “Well, judge, he did the best he could.” “And what was that?” “He defended himself, and if I had been in his place I'd had a fight.” Dorsey was fiuaed $ and Johnson's per- sonal bonds were taken. Fred Turn: a colored boy, brought up the rear of the Ine, and the charge agains: him was disorderly conduct. Fred has been skeping in Dr. Ware's stable, and last night the dog frightened him to such an extent that he jumped the fence and sought refuge in the woodshed. Complaint was made, and Policeman Tompkins arrested him. Judge Kimball fined him $3, paid and was released. ee F Street Railroad. A permit was issued by the Commission- ers this morning to the Metropolitan Rafl- road Company to make preliminary sur- veys along its east and west line on F street, preparatory to the construction of this branch. President Phillips called at- tention to that feature of the law regard- ing excavations of the streets, and asked that it be relieved of the fee of $1 for each excavation made. He explained that the attorney for the District had said to him that the road was clearly entitled to a gen- eral permit gratis. After some consulta- tion, the Commissioners tssued the permit gratis. President Phillips satd he hoped to have the 9th street line running within two weeks. which he ————— Sues for Damages. On the 13th of October, 18%, Wade Hamp- ton Williams was struck, ai the corner of llth street and Pennsylvania avenue, by an east-bound cable train of the Washing- ton and Georgetown Railroad Company. He was severely injured, and death ensued as a result of his injuries, it is claimed, on the 2d of last August. The administrator of the deceased's estate, William Meyer. Lewin, now files a sult in law against the company, claiming $10,000 damages, assert- ing that the injuries and death of the de- ceased were due to the carelessness and negtgence of the company. The adminis- trater states that Williams left a widow and three chikiren. —— Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued to the following: Phil. Price and Eliza Norman. John M.
