Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock a colored boy, whose name was gtven as Walter Benheim, went to Freedman's Hospital for treatment for gunshot wounds, but he was more scared than hurt. He said that he was near a fence in the county not far from Le Droit Park, when he was shot by another boy, but he did not make a very vigorous complaint. Later in the evening when the police made an Investi- gation they reported that the boy had be too near the apple trees in Mr. Marean’s back yard, and Roy Marean, a boy, had fired the shot. The colored boy was only slightly injured. — Our Prices Do Their Own Talking. Backed by quality. 5-Ib. boxes Creamery Butter at are much in the lead. James F.

Proceedings Very Brief and a Con- tinuance Granted Until Next Mon- day—Mr. Pugh’s Determination. ‘The case of Mr. W. Kesley Schoepf was called in the Police Court this morning as representing the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company, which is charged, in an information filed by Mr. Pugh, attor- ney for the District, with the occupation of public property by the maintenance of its trolley poles on New York avenue. This case was the outcome of the action taken by the District authorities yesterday In their efforts to rid the city of the ob- noxious trolley. Mr. Schoepf is the vice president of the offending road. The presi- dent lives in Baltimore, and no action has yet been taken against him. In the in- formation the secretary and treasurer of the road, Mr. Hamilton K. Gray, was also named gointly with Mr. Schoepf, but he is out of town, and the papers were not served upon him. Will File a Motion to Quash. Schoepf was in the Police Court this morning, attended by his counsel, Mr. John Ridcut. The proceedings lasted only a few minutes, The attorney for the defendant gave notice that he would file a motion to quash the information on the ground that no offense ugainst any one was explicitly alleged in the papers. He had the motion already driwn up in writing, and stated that he would file it as soon as he had had time to have it typewritten and put in proper form. Mr. Pugh announced that he was ready to go on with the case, but Mr. Ridout asked for a continuance, as he had an important engagement this morning to serve with a commission appointed to.con- demn certain real estate, and that if he could not be present it would cause serious inconvenience to a number of people. He also desired time to prepare for an argu- ment on the questions of law involved in the case. Continued Until Monday. Mr. Ridout suggested that they go on with the argument tomorrow, but no time could be fixed upon that was satisfactory to the attorney for the District. The judge thereupon agreed to a continuance until next Monday at 1:30 p.m., Mr. Ridout agreeing to have his witnesses on hand at that time, and to be ready to go on with the cas2 on its merits if the court should hold against him. “I just want to say,” remarked Mr. Pugh, as the case was brought to a‘close, “that I shall file an information against this road every day until the whol iter es le maiter is tinally “I am sure that the court will not per- mit of any oppression,” said Mr. Ridout. Mr. Schoepf was then placed under per- cet bonds to appear for trial next Mon- ——_ Chas. E. Ball Missing. Two days ago Frank Wheat, a Caplitel policeman, who lives at 329 H street north- east, reported to the police that a bey named Charles E. Ball, who left here some time ago had not been heard from for sev- eral days, and it was feared that he was injured or killed. When the boy first went away he corresponded with Kis relatives, but a week ago his letters suddenly ceased and then it was feared that something fous had happened to him. This fear seemed to have been well founded when his relatives received word that he had met with 2 mishap somewhere in Pennsyl- vania between Philadelphia and Wilming- ton. When the report was made to the police, Inspector Hollinberger sent a com- munication to Chief Dolan of Wilmington, asking for information concerning Ball's whereabouts. It has since transpired that @ young man was there who gave his name as Frank Stewart, and who said he belonged here. His story was that he scalded his leg while working on a steamer between Boston and Baltimore, and when the latter city was reached he boarded a freight train and went to Philadelphia. ‘There he was sent to the hospital. Nothing has been heard from the missing Ball boy and so far as the police are concerned, no inquiries have been made about the young man, who gave his name as Stewart. —<._—_ Clerks at a Banquet. The members of the Mutual Rellef As- sociation of the Lansburgh Brothers’ store ansembled at Freund’s last night for an annual meeting and a banquet. One hun- dred and thirty were present, and the even- ing was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The feast was followed by a musical and lit- erary entertainment. The election of offi- cers resulted in the choice of the following: New board of governors, Messrs. Lewis Goldsmith, E. A. Bachrach, H. G. Brink- ley, M. Lyons, C. Iradella, J. L. Campbell, N.

At the second evening session of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of the District, at its hall on 7th street last evening, there was an attendance of about eighty, and Grand Master Theodore Mead occupied the chair. The evening was devoted to the reading of reports from committees. Mr. W. G. Platt reported for the committee on returns, Mr. M. D. Brainard for the com- mittee on finance, Mr. H. C. Hazard for the committee on supervision, Mr. D. W. Ke2« for the committee on by-laws, Mr. J. B. Ward for the committee on appeals, Mr. Andrew Turnbull for the committee on printing, Dr. T. J. Jones for the committee on the state of the order, and Mr. B. F. Crawshaw for the committee to investigate the investment in Odd Fellows’ Hall. In his report Dr. Jones stated that application had been made from the jurisdiction of Vir- ginia for permission to extend its insurance work into the District. The District Grand Lodge does not countenance insurance work within its own organization, but it was voted to allow the Virginia Odd Fel- lows to canvass for insurance in the Dis- trict. e ee Death of Judge Wheat.

Goodall, whose body was found floating In the San Joaquin river near Livingston, three years ago, and consigned to an un- marked grave at the water’s edge. Nothing was known about Goodall at the time, but Goy. Budd has recently been informed that Goodall resided In Virginia, and was super- iutendent of schools of the town in which he lived.

He Drank Laudanum and Whisks, jot With Any Intent to Take His Life — Other Items. at The report in two of the Washington papers that George R. Shinn, a well- known Alexandrian, had committed or at- tempted to commit suicide is utterly un- true, according to the statement of Dr. T. M. Jones, the family physician. When the rumor was first on the street The Star re- porter had a talk with Dr. Jones on the subject, and the.doctor stated that he had no reason to believe that Mr. Shinn had attempted to take his life, as he could find no sign of poison either in the system of Mr. Shinn or in boxes or bottles in the house where Mr. Shinn died this morning at o'clock. The doctor said that Mr. Shinn’s trouble was from his kidneys, and that he was a very sick man. Mr. Shinn was married to Miss Langley on July 4, and there: was no apparent reason why he should have wished to take his life. It is said that Mr. Shinn’s sickness was due to the fact that he was the defendant in a law suit that was to come up in the corporation court yesterday, so he got on a spree, which resulted fatally. Dr. Jones when questioned by The Star reporter again this morning said that he subse- quently discovered that Mr. Shinn had taken an overdose of laudanum, but it was his opinion that it was not with sul- cidal intent. It is learned that Mr. Shinn had been drinking whisky and laudanum for several days. Wanted for Criminal Assault. Yesterday afternoon Policeman Arring- ton arrested Thomas Stewart at the South- ern railway depot as a suspicious charac- ter. Stewart was acting in a peculiar man- ner. It is thought from descriptions that he is the man wanted in The Plains, Va., en the charge of criminally assaulting a young lady near that city. The Fauquier county authorities were notified of the ar- rest. Stewart is a colored boy about twen- ty years of age. Sprained Both Ankles. Mrs. Rose Simms of Fairfax county bad- ly sprained both of her ankles yesterday morning. She was getting ready to come into town to market, and as she was walk- ing down the steps her ankle turned and she slipped, twisting* both ankles. She did not realize that she was badly hurt, and came on to town. When she arrived here it was found that both ankles were badly swollen and pained her so much that she had to be sent to the home of her daughter and medical assistance rendered. Regained His Faculties. Several days ago, as reported in The Star, William Coleman, a negro convict, refused to work on the chain gang, and was put on a bread and water diet. Yesterday he feigned insanity, and plead for a square meal. He was kept on bread and water, however, and this morning he had suddenly regained (?) his faculties, and was willing to go back to work and three square meals a day. He will be sent back to the gang. Police Court. Acting Mayor Snowden presided in the Police court this morning, and disposed of the following cases: Wm. Payne, charged with asaulting Nelly Pye; fined, $5. Thos. Stewart, suspicious character; held for fur- ther examination. Notes. Mr. Chas, Fleischmann is confined to his room by sickness. Capt. Fountain Beattie, whose illness has been mentioned in The Star, is about the same. The funeral of Mr. William Fleming took place from the M. E. Church this morning, and was attended by a large nomber of friends. © ee AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Gambling Dens Across the Raided—Other Items. At 11 o'clock last night a raid was made en the gambling dens opposite the “Three Sisters” by Sheriff Palmer and assistants. Many players were caught at the tables, but none were taken in. Nelson's and Fos- ter’s were the places raided—Heath’s hay- ing been closed for some time. The gam- bling appliances, valued at $1,000, were seized. The “‘tip’’ was given to Sheriff Palmer by Judge Miller and District At- torney Mullowney, with other legal offi- cials, who early in the evening went up on the Joe Blackburn and inspected the dens and methods. When tlie officers—seven in addition to the sheriff—made themselves known, a stampede began, but was checked. A fire broke out this morning in the attic of 1208 29th street, a small frame, occupied a3 a barber shop and dwelling. A defec- tive flue caused the ignition. The engine responded, but did rot go into service. The firemen tore out the affected portion of the house and smothered the fire with buckets of water. if Mr. F. L.

WERIE SINNERS Judge Miller Hearaithe Stories of Police- men and‘ Prisoners. Justice Tempered With Good Advice Dealt Out to Bhforced Visitors at the Peltee Court. Ell Hunter, a fourteen-year-old boy, who says he is an orphan frcm Ohio, and is stopping at the Newsboys’ Home, led Judge Miller’s early morning procession in. the Police Court this morning, and the charge against him was trespass. “I'm guilty of the charge,” he said when arraigned, “but I didn’t know I was vio- lating the law.” It was charged that he trespassed on the Agricultural grounds. “Yesterday afternoon,” said one of the park watchmen, “I found this boy, with two others, in the grounds up the mulberry tree.” “What was this boy doing?” the eourt in- quired. “Getting mulberries,” answered the watchman. “The trouble is that the boys over there will break the trees and disfig- ure them. This boy, however, was not as bad and destructive as the others.” “What have you got to say about this?” the boy was asked. “Well, judge,” arswered the boy, “I went over and got some of the berries because the other boys asked me to go with them.” “Didn’t you know you were doing wrong?” the judge asked. “No, sir,” responded the boy; “the other boys told me it was not against the law.” The boy then told the judge that he came east from Ohio because his parents were dead, and he reached here two weeks ago. Since then he has been stopping at the Newsboys’ Home. His arm was injured in a scuffle a few days ago, and Judge Miller gave him some good advice about his future conduct. “Go and sell newspapers,” the judge told him, “‘and keep out of trouble.” He was released on his persona! bonds. Trouble in the Smith Family. George Smith and Louisa Smith, his wife, a colored couple from the section known as “Swampoodle,” were in the procession because they had engaged in a “family dis- cussion,” as the wife termed it, on the pub- lie street. “The woman was pulling at the man,” sald Policeman Auldridge, who does not miss many days in court. “The man was trying to zZet away from her. He is a hard-working man, and the woman seems to have caused all the trouble.” “I wanted to get her home,” sald the husband. “She had been drinking, and I was afraid she would get in trouble.” “And I was doing the same thing,” said the woman. “I met him on the street, and stopped to talk to him, as I didn’t want him to stay out so late.” “Did he do anything 10 you?” “Only slapped me, but I didn’t want him arrested. “The public street,” said the judge, “is not the place for the discussion of family troubles.” They were each fined $1 or three days. Soldicr Scrivener Had the Cramps. One soldier in the Hne was Sam Scrivener, an old colored man, but it has been many years since he shouldered a musket. Last evening the old man, who had come in town from th: county on a week's va- cation, patronized the “clam man” on the street corner and got the stomach ache. “He was drunk when I saw him,” said Policeman Lohman, “and was annoying children on Florida avenue. He spoke to almost every person he passed, and would not keep quiet and go home when I told him he had better do so.” “Was he profane?” the court asked. “No, your honor,” the policeman an- swered. "Deed, I want profane,” the old cripple answered. “I don’t cuss, nohow.” ~ What was the trouble?” I had the cramps,” the old man an- swered, as he put his hands on his stomach and gave other outward appearance of Fain. “And,” he added, “I’se got ’em yet.” “Where do you work?” “On Mr. Wilson's farm in Montgomery county, and I'm goin’ back Wednesday.” “Why don’t you go today?” “Well, judge, you see, harvesting ts just gver, and work won't commence again until next week.” He was discharged with the good advice that he get out of town as soon as possible. Vags cnd Other Venial Sinners, Rebecca Jenkins, a colored woman, who lives in Northeast Washington, was next in the procession, and Policeman Riley made the ccomplaiht. “This morning I arrested this woman on 8d street,” the officer said. “She had been in a grocery store and caused trouble bi cause she said a man owed her 75 cents.” “I got the money,” said the woman, “and the ;oliceman arrested me when I was on my way home.” “I warned her half a dozen times before I placed her under arrest,” the officer said, “and she was so noisy that I had to arrest her." . A fine of $3 was imposed. Ella Griffin, colored, was given twenty days on a charge of vagrancy. “She’s no earthly good,” was what the policeman saii. ‘“She’s always drinking and loafing about the alleys.” Louisa Adams was also a member of the procession, and she was fined $5 for dis- orderly conduct. —_—.__. SELLING SKIMMED MILK. The Charge Brought Agninst Wm. F. Auth, a Groceryman. ‘Wm. F. Auth, a young groceryman, was before Judge Miller this morning on the charge of selling skimmed milk. The evi- dence showed that Auth only sells a gallon a day, which he keeps for the benefit of a few of his customers. This he buys from his father, who is a butcher on the Bla- densburg road, and keeps three cows. It is left every morning in front of his store. On the 12th, the day of the offense charged, a neighbor went to the store before it was open and took off about a pint of it for breakfast. It was evident that Auth had not skimmed the milk, nor even knew that it was of a poor quality, as the milk in- spector testified it was. Mr. Pugh’s con- tention was that it is the dealer’s business to know whether or not his milk is good. In order that he might have a chance to look into the law governing the matter, Judge Miller postponed his decision in the case until next Monday, and Auth’s per- sonal bonds were taken. a The Hudson Family. The Hudson family, consisting of Prof. Hudson ani his two daughters, are at the Central Union -Missien for a few days. Prof. Hudson is a song writer and singer of werld-wide reputation, and with his two daughters makes harmony a living thing. He is also an earnest and effective evangel- ist.
