BEFORE THE POLICE COURT There Was One Man Who Made a Oar- Fender Test. s— An Old Woman Sent to the Poor House—Quick Sentences Douglass Gordon, a big colored man, who had been drinking, was on Brightwood avenue last evening, and when the Mar- shall street electric car stopped to connect with ove of the through cars the fender attached to the cars to save life attracted the attention of the man, and he concluded to test its strength. He didn’t understand exactly what the fender was, and so he jumped on it with all his force. The fen- der remained on the car and Motorman Sullivan went out to see the cause of the shake-up. “What are you doing there?” he want- ed to know of the colored man. The latter soon told him it was none of hls business, and while he did not use any profanity he was in fighting humor. Po- Neeman Doyle was called, and he arrested Gordon, and charged him with disorderly conduct. Douglass was with two friends, and one of them put up $5 collateral for him. This was why he was not in Judge Miller's pro- cession this morning. He did not even call to see about his case, and his collateral was forfeited. Charles Sanford, who was arrested in South Washington, was less fortunate. He was under the influence of liquor, and a charge of disorderly conduct was preferred against him by Policeman Bruce. No friend came forward to deposit a $5 bill as collateral for his appearance, and the roy was that he appeared in the proces- sion. “I'm guilty, your honor,” was his plea, “but I would like to make a statement.” “I'll hear what the officer has to say first,” said the judge. “Sanford was drunk as usual,” said the officer, “‘and I arrested him in an alley near lith and C streets southwest.” “That's right, judge, I was drunk,” sald Sanford, “but I hope you will let me go this time. I hadn’t done anything for a long time until last week, and if I’m sent down I'll lose my job.’ “Haven't done anything for a long time,” remarked the judge, ‘and the first money you got you got drunk with it. What was done with you when you were arrested last?” “Got thirty day: “You will have to pay a fine of $5 this time,” said the judge, “or go down for fifteen days.” Some Advice. Harry O'Neill, a young man who says his home is in the state of Washington and whose father, he says, was state’s attorney of Mason county for several years, was in the procession as a tramp, and Police- man Upperman complained against him. “He's been lcafing about Eckington since Sunday,” the officer said. “I gave him werning enough, but he refused to leave and I arrested him.” “I’m no tramp,” said the prisoner, “I've worked on a ranch und ‘n the mines and I've been Icoking for work here.” “You're in the wrong cowry for ranches and mines,” the judge told him. “What were you loitering about Eckington for?” “Trying to catch a train,” he answered, “as I wanted to get out of town.” “Looking for trains, I guess, is about all you do,” the judge said. “The policeman told me he had done some tramping,” the prisoner said, “and I don’t sxe why he didn't give me a show.” “But,” said Mr. Pugh, “he was not a professional tramp,” Judge Miller advised the young man to go out and put in coal or do anything he could find. You had better work for 50 certs a da: the judge told him, “than to work for the District for your food.”” He was thereupon released. Peter Kennedy, arrested for disorderly conduct, had not done anything serious and his penalty was only §2 or six days. To the Poor House. Annie Foley, a little woman whose face is as familiar about the Police Court as are those of the lawyers who have their offices there, was in the procession as a va- grant because she has no home and is a vietim of alcoholic stimulants. The poor old woman shows the result of her hard mode of living and her advancel age, and last night while in the police sta- tion she found a friend in the person of Miss Pennifill, the matron, who sert Judge Miller the following note: “Will you be so kind as to send Annie Foley to the alms house Instead of the work house? It is the best place for her, for when she comes out of the work house she is not able to work and must beg, when she gets drunk.” Judge Miller was glad to see that some cne had been charitable eno@gh to take an Interest in the old woman. Evidence showing Annie to be an habitual runkard was given, and Annie wanted to get out. “I have a daughter at Harper’s Ferry,” she said, “and can go there.” “The work house,” Judge Miller said, “is not the proper place for this old woman. She ought to be given a home in the poor house.” The necessary permit was obtained from Sanitary Officer Frank, and Annie was sent down where she will have a home for Ufe if she will remain there. Quick Work. “This woman,” said Lawyer Moss, “be- longs to a class of women who earn their living in a questionable way. She lives in the ‘Divi: ’ and I suppose your honor holds, as does Judge Kimball, that they are all vagrants.” Carrie Towles, colored, was the woman about whom he was talking. “She doesn’t live in the ‘Divis‘on,’” said the officer, ‘‘but she is a constant visitor there. She visits these houses, gets drunk and solicits on the street.” “Sixty days.” Annie Bond, colored, said she was guilty of a charge of disorderly conduct and went down for two weeks because she did not have $5. Charles F. Daley, who is more than thir- ty years old, and James Bishop, not more than twenty-one years, were in the line on a charge of vagrancy, and the complaint against them was that they had been sleep- ing in a stable. “I had noticed them going in an alley ‘veral times,” Policeman Williams said, “and when I went in to see where they went I could never find them. Last night, however, they went in a stable and I found them buried in the hay.” Bishop said he had been given permis- sion to sleep in the stable, and in giving information concerning his identity he sald he was a member of the National Guard and that he was in camp down the river this summer. His explanation was accepted and he was discharged. Daley’s excuse was not a good one, so the court thought, and he was given twenty ‘lays, the judge saying he would release him if some one would give him work. John Blackwell, colored, was brought in on an attachment because he had forfeited $5 for fast driving, an amount deemed in- sufficient for the offense. The case went over. ———— Funeral of Jnmes O'Neill. The remains of Mr. James O'Neill, for- merly cf this city, who died in Chicago last Monday of cholera morbus, were brought to Washington yesterday. The funeral ser- vices were held this morning at the resi- dence of his mother, 68 I street northeast, with requiem mass later at St. Aloysius Church. ——__ The Proprictor’s Special Trip for Piney Point Hotel On steamer Arrowsmith on Saturday, the 27th instant.

ALEXANDRIA COUNTY ELECTIONS. ‘Tertimony Showing the Brutal Sur- roundings of the Polls. In the contest proceedings at Alexandria yesterday W. S. Reed, one of the judges of election at Four Mile Run, was the first wit- .| ness called to the stand. He was examined upon the occurrences at Four Mile Run on the day of election, and his testimony ac- corded very closely with that of other wit- nesses previously examined. Witness would have been afraid to do any work for Messrs. Hume and Douglass, or to have challenged a voter, for fear of personal violence. Wm. Duncan came into the room of the judges of election; whisky had also beer brought into the room. Witness was on the stand about an hour. J. J. Sawyer, one of the extra constables at the Four Mile run precinct, was sworn. He testified that he arrested Butler and carried him before Justice Lane in the grocery store nearby, and then went after Sisson to prefer charges, but no charges were preferred and Butler was allowed to go. Peverill was within the forty-foot Hmit, and when Sisson ordered him out he turned and struck Sisson. Then Mr. Saw- yer agrested him, and on his promise to keep quiet, he was released. He corrobor- ated other witnesses as to the disorder at the polls. The cross-examination failed to develop anything new or to shake the witness’ tes- timony. When Mr. Sawyer had concluded, Mr. Frank Hume, was called to the stand, and gave an account of the causes that led to the trouble between Mr. Duncan and aimself at the schcol house, just beyond the caral, and what happened there. He said he saw much evidence cf drinking about the polls, especialy in the afternoon. Mr. Hume's evidence in regard to the trou- ble at the Four Mile Run polls between the negro Butler and Constable Sisson, and the assault upon Sisson by Peverill was the same as had been given by the other wit- nesses. Later on in the day the trouble became more demonstrative. He saw Johnston give slips to the voters, and saw the vot- ers carry them into the polls. Witness had @rranged to have challenges made, but was afraid to do so on account of the turbulent condition of the crowd, who would have done him personal injury. He had asked to have all the race track men’s votes chal- lenged, but was disappointed in getting a list of that sort of people, and did not iknow them personally. Afternoon Session Yesterday. At the afternoon session in the contest case at Alexandria Jackson E. Sickles, county surveyor, was called to the stand. Mr. Sickles had heard violent — threats against Hume at the Four-mile Run polls on the day of the election. Witness had voted for Mr. Johnson and Mr. Hume. He had made no challenges, the crowd was too turbulent and disorderly. Mr. Johnson was about the precinct and the witness had had a conversation with him, in which Johnson had said he was satisfied that Mr. Sisson had not intentionally marked But ler’s ballot wrong. Many of those about the polls were mad with drink and used yiolent and threatening language. Witness recollected carrying around the petition for contest and getting signatures. He could not recollect getting the s!gna- tures of John and George Jones, both col- ored, or of having told them that the only object of the petition was to stop Wash- ington people from coming over there and voting. Robert Walker, secretary of the electoral board of the county, was sworn, and the contestants started to prove by his read- ing from the minutes of the electoral board that Mr. Sisson had not been legally ap- pointed constable for the May election. Col. Smith objected, and after a long ar- gument_ the judge sustained the objection. Mr. Walker, as secretary of the electoral board, had seen the printing of the ballots, and the type distributed after the tickets were printed. He had also sworn the print- ers, Miss Lena House and Mr. R. W. French, as required by law. All the bal- lots turned over by him to the judges of election had the proper stamp on them. Witness had signed the petition for a con- test without knowing that the petition con- tained allegations that the tickets had not been stamped and the printer had not been sworn. W. H. Palnier,the new sheriff, was sworn. Mr. Palmer was handed subpoenas of sev- eral witnesses and identified.them as being copies of those given him to serve. He and Mr. Deuterman had made every effort to find the men named in the papers, but were unable to find any of them. Witness was at Four-mile Run and saw what took place between Sisson and Butler. He did not see anyone interfered with, or anyone threatened or intimidated. On cross-examination he said he saw no Hquor at the polls, but saw some fifty men who had been drinking. The election at Four-mile Run was as quiet as that of the Hume-Lee contest some years ago. His opinion was that the cause of the dis- turbance was that the voters feared that they would not be allowed to vote. With Mr. Palmer still on the stand the court ad- journed about 5 o'clock. ——.__ Wants a New Note. In a bill in equity, filed by her against Henry E. Baker yesterday, Henrietta E. Dixon charges that in 1893 she loaned the defendant a sum of money, which sum has been reduced by occasional payments to about $255. Monday last, she says, she handed the note to one- Varick Hawkins for collection. Hawkins, she alleges, visited Baker, who is said to be an employe of the patent office, when the latter offered $200 for it. The offer was refused, and it is claimed that Baker then asked to see the note, when, it is asserted, he mutileted it by blotting and tearing it. Mrs. Dixon, therefore, prays that the defendant be compelled to execute a new note. ———— Cattle Market.

There fs an activity-of large proportions at present apparent sin local Grand Army of the Republic cireles, for in little more than one month from today veterans of the civil war will hie themselves from all sec- tions of the United States, including Wash- ington, to Louisville; where the annual na- tional encampment of the G.

Committees for some time past have been hard at work, and this morning practically all the necessary ar- rangements were completed. The depart- ment, under escort of the Old Guard, will leave over the Chesapeake and Ohio rail- road Sunday morning, September 8, and is scheduled to reach Louisville the following morning. According to Department Com- mander Marion T. Anderson fully 1,000 per- sons, and perhaps 500 more, will be com- prised in the Washington contingent, which is to travel on a special train of vestibuled sleepers run in three sections.

Then many of the comrades will take ad- vantage of the occasion to visit the battle fields near Nashville and Murfreesboro. The Department of the Potomac. The headquarters of the Departmentsof the Potomac will be in parlor No. 205 of the Galt House, where the commander-in-chlef is to be located. It is confidently expected that the exodus from Washington to Louis- ville of Grand Army men and their families will exceed to a considerable degree the number that attended the encampment at Pittsburg a year ago. It is thought that the meeting of 1896 will be in St. Paul, al- though Atlanta, Lincoln, Nebraska, and Nashville and other: cities are making streng claims for the honor. Baltimore seems to be in the lead for 1897. In the opinion of Department Commander Ander- son, the commander-in-chief for the com- ing’ year will be Ivan N.
