Shortly after 10 o'clock last night an alarm from box 241 called out the fire de- partment to a fire in the rear of the bakery and residence of M. S. Koonce, 1510 14th street northwest, which would have result- ed disastrously but for the timely appear- ance of the engines. From some unknown cause fire reached a small can of gasoline in the lower floor of the bakery, which caused the building in front of the bakery to catch on fire. When the engines arrived the flames were coming out of the rear windows, while the stairway to the upper floor had been burn- ed away, cutting off all means of escape. In a few minutes the ladders were raised, and the mombers of Mr. Koonce’s family, who had been warned not to jump, were brought down in safety. Engine company No. 7 was the first to arrive on the scene, and had its hose play- ing on the fire by the time the other com- panies had arrived. Traffic on the lith street cable line was stopped for a short period. The amount of damage done amounted to about $300, fully covered by insurance. — The Columbia Chemical Co.'s Bill. A Dill in equity asking a disclosure and accounting has been filed by the Columbia Chemical Company against Manfredi Lanza, a son-in-law of Dr. William A. Hammond; the Animal Extract Company, Mahlon Hutchinson and Dr, William A. Hammond. The Hammond Sanitarlum Company some time ago secured an order from the court restraining the Columbia company from reparing and selling certain extracts. In its declaration -now filed the Columbia company alleges that the Animal Extract Company has been organized for the pur- pose of selling the extracts In question, and that Mr. Lanza, the former treasurer of their company, is now the manager of the new concern. A rule against the de- fendants, returnable August 3, has been granted by Judge Hagner. ———— Trial of Joseph Wilson. The case of Joseph A. Wilson, charged with embezzling the funds of the firm of Wilson & Rogers, meat dealers, has been set for trial on the 3d of August. At the request of H. V.

THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1895—-TWELVE PAGES.” IBEFORE JUDGE MILLER Quite a Good-Sized Procession of Police Court Prisoners. Their Offenses Were of a Minor Char- ut Nearly All Received Some Penalty. acter, The procession to the Police Court start- ed from the prison room early in the morn- ing, and were on exhibition behind the wire screen fully thirty®minutes before Judge Miller was ready for business. Lucy Wells and Annie Edwards, colored women from the noisy place, known as Glick’s diley, were first to appear for trial. Annie Edwards carried in her arms an in- fant,and, singularly enough, the child com- menced crying just when the case was called. Policeman Johnson heard a notse in the alley late last night, and when he entered it he found the women engaged in a quar- rel. “It was all started by the other wo- man,” sald Lucy Wells, whose wearing ap- Parel indicated that she is a widow. “I was at lodge meeting last night and when I got home and went to the pump I was slurred by Annie Edwards. When she first laughed at me I didn’t notice her, but when ‘ went back I couldn’t help answering Pe ‘You are fined $5," the judge told her, “and,” he said to the woman with the hy, “‘take your baby and go home.” Three Out of the Crowd. Policeman Flynn made another raid on the crowd of persons loitering in front of the court this morning, and three colored mem were arrested. Gilmore Harper, Charles Jasper and Matthew Jordan were the names they gave. They had stood on the sidewalk and watched the three dozen unfortunates step from the “Black Maria,” and, as many others, they appeared to en- joy the misery of their fellow citizens, and only a tew minutes later they walked arm in arm with them in the procession. “This morning, your honor,” gaid Police- man Flynn, “tne crowd came behind the ‘Maria’ from 7th street, and refused to leave when I ordered them away.” “Did you order these men away?” “Yes, your honor.” The men fatled to show any good reason why they had !oitered about the court, and Judge Miller told them they had better have gone out and looked for work than to have come and loitered about the court to see some unfortunates walk from the Maria to the buliding. “I came up here with a friend who want- ed to pay a fine,” said Harper. “What did you have to do with it?” “Nothing at all.” “and,” said Judge Miller, “that’s just the trouble. No business here. You men come along here, and when the van or a lemonade bucket is in sight you get tired end your feet refuse to move. This is no Place for you,,and you will each have to pay a fine of $7." Found in a Box Car. According to the statement of Policeman Bruce, there are more tramps in South Washington now than there have been since Coxey’s army was encamped on the banks of that filth pond called the James Creek canal. “Late last night I found four men in the box cars In the freight yard near the Long bridge,” said the officer. “WrEat were they doing?” “Sleeping.” The officer said that tramps have been troubling the railroad men, and have been going through vacant houses, where some of them have been sleeping. Joseph Joy, one of them, made a good showing and was dismissed, while Jonn Henry, William Simms and John Simpson were sent down for sixty days. There were four members of another party of sleepers who were found in E. E. Jackson’s lumber yard, near the bridge, and they gave thelr names as William Meth, John Hope, Henry Richardson and Forrest Littiejohn. “What are you dcing here?” Judge Mil- ler asked Forrest Littlejohn, who is a small colored boy. ‘I just come,” was the boy’s answer. “From where did you come?” “Spartansburg, South Carolina,” he an- swered. ‘How did you come?” “Walked here because I heard work was plentiful.” “Well, work is not so plentiful, and you had better have remained at home, where you had plenty to eat.” He will te given a home, Henry Stephenson and John Hope were sent down fer thirty days. “So far as William Meth 1s concerned,” sald an officer, know he has been a hard-workit g man.” “Where does he live?” the court asked. “I don’t know,” the officer said, “but I’ve seen him on my beat with his wife a nurber of time: He was releas Sleeping on the Sidewalk. William Molock, a young colored man, stopped in Eckington last evening, and would have slept on the sidewalk had not Officer Foley found him. “A number of complaints have been made about tramps and strangers about Eckington,” said the officer, “and last night I found this young man there.” “Where are you from?” theg,court in- quired “Cumberland,” he answered. “How did you get here?” “Came on a canal boat, and now I’m willing to work.” “You will have to work for the District for a month.” Samuel R. Beach, a young man, whose appearance indicated that he was too young to have a better half, appeared on the stand to explain his conduct last night. He was intoxicated, and instead of going home he spent the night behind the bars. “He was drunk and lying on the side- walk,” said the oflicer. “No, sir,” said the youthful prisoner; “I was on my feet when I was arrested.” Just then a young woman in the audience fainted. She was the prisoner's wife, and after a fine of $5 had been tmposed Beach Was sent out to look after the sick woman. pest ebees Stanley J. Weyman.

DESTROYING GARBAGE. The Result of Health Officer Wood- ward's Investigations. Health Officer Woodward has submitted to the Commissioners a report of his re- cent trip north, embodying the results of his investigation of different systems of disposing of garbage. He has now made a study of six styles of crematories and four reduction plants. In his report he gives a detailed account of the working of the systems he inspected on his latest trip, and then summarizes pis work up to the present time as follows: “The following reduction processes have been examined: American reduction—Merz, improved Merz, Simonin and Arnold. Each of these has for its object the extraction of grease and the preparation of the resi- due, known as tankage, to be used for mixing with phosphates for purposes of making marketable fertilizers. ‘All of these processes involve a certain amount of handling of the garbage, grease and tankage, with the odors incident there- to. The method by which these odors may be cared for has been indicated in a pre- vious report, namely, their destruction by fire. This is an expensive procedure, re- quiring the construction of a special ven- tilating apparatus and the maintenance of ventilation by mechanical means. In a properly constructed building with suitable apparatus of this kind, and under rigid su- pervision, it might be possible to maintain a reduction process with as little nuisance as it is possible to maintain a crematory. “The following crematories have been in- spected: The Rider, Engle, Brown, Smith, Dixon and Brownlee. Their action has al- ready been set forth. “In the selection of a method for the dis- posal of garbage and in considering the methods which have been examined, it is necessary to separate the nuisance which may arise from the improper management of a properly constructed crematory or re- duction plant and that which must neces- sarily arise owing to the method itself. Any one of the reduction processes which I have examined is in itself a nuisance. Any of them may, in my judgment, be maintained in this city in a tightly con- structed building with a perfect system of artifical ventilaticn, and decomposition of noxious gases by means of fire. This, it will be observed, is not a part of the re- duction process, but a method especially provided for preventing nuisance arising from that process, and {is equally applica- ble to all, The Rider crematory has not been examined while burning pure gar- bage, such as is collected in this city. It differs so in principle from all others that I do not feel warranted in expressing an opinion as to its merits. “The Smith crematory will successfully destroy garbege, and its only defect, the leakage of water, has been referred to be- fore. ‘fhe Engle and Brown crematories have both been employed to destroy such garbage as is collected here and have done so successfully. “Neither the Brownlee nor the Dixon have been examined while employed for this purpose, but from their resemblance to the Engle and Brown crematories I think they might probably, with a few slight modifica- tions, be so employed. “As*the result of my investigations I am of the opinion that the Engle, Brown, Brownlee and Dixon furnaces might be used in this city for the destruction of gar- bage withcut creating a nuisance. “It will be noted that the odor arising from the garbage while belng handled in erematories is drawn by the draft, in any properly constructed furnace, into the fire and there destroyed, thus accomplishing, aturally and without material expense, at in the reduction process has to be done artificially and at some cost.” —__—_ AMUSEMENTS. New National Theater.—Mrs. Ke'ghtley’s “Sealed Instructions” was revived at the New National Theater last night and was witnessed by a good-sized audience. This comedy has many strong dramatic situa- tions and calls for good acting on the part of all the characters. Misses Lawrence, Stevens 2nd Sanders, Messrs. Mackey, Hudson and Winter fully met all the re- quirements of their roles, as they @id in the former presentations,and Messrs. Bow- ser and Pitt sustained their parts well. Charles Coote’s _Testimonlal.—-Charles Coote as Capt. Hutington, in “Man Pro- poses,” gives perhaps one of his best bits of character acting. He meets the re- quirements of the part and sustains it to a successful finish. Lillian Lawrence will be equally as clever as Bell Huntington, which Is in her line. She has proved her- self a finished actress, and will carry out the dual role in a charming manner. Fred- eric Bond is certainly very strong as Ei cles in “Caste.” Although a light comedian, his ventures into character study have been successful. His creation of the Frenchman in “Aristocracy” will be al- ways remembered. Before that ‘The midor” is still in the memory of the public. His rendition of the difficult parts during the past three summers in Washington at once stamp him as a favorite. He is earn- est and sincere. He is now in the hands of two Washingtcn boys, and his starring tour promises success. Charles Mackey has shown himself to possess all the require- ments of a leading man. He has from the first made himself a feature of the plays he hag been cast for here. His Dick Dorr- las in “The Heir at Law” was a charming and original creation. Mr. Mackey goes away soon to fill an engagement with Sol Smith Russell. His principal work is the study of Captain Absolute in “The Rivals,” a part he is eminently suited for. His presence and dash, outside of his talent, would surely carry him through. Frances Stevens is undoubtedly a charming in- genue. Swect and natural, she has all the requirements ‘of‘a soubrette, which will lend additional charm to the part of Polly in “Caste.” Miss Stevens is one of Chas. Frohman’s company, and will be seen in “The Foundling” this winter. All these artists have kindly volunteered for Mr. Coote’s benefit at the Grand Opera House on Tuesday next, July 30, for which the seats are now selling rapidly. Wimodaughsis Lawn Party.—The rain did not interfere with the outdoor lawn fete of the Wimodaughsis at all last night. The feature of last evening’s party was the nail-driving contest for ladies. There were a number of entries in the event, and Mrs. Charles Heitinger came sut at the top of the list. The others who took part were Mrs. Belva Lockwood, Mrs. Herron, Mrs. Hatton, Mrs. Holtzclaw, Miss Barton, Miss Phelps, Miss Fassett, Mrs. Heitinger, Mrs. Scott, Miss Lillian’ Moore, Miss ‘Annie Vance, Miss H. Keables, Mrs. Phelps, Miss Freet, Mrs. Katherine Lackland, Mrs. Jeannette Bradley, Miss Gillette and Mrs. Mills. The contest consisted of drivjng shingle nails into a beam with an eig! ounce hammer, and the one who drove the most nails in the wood in one minute was declared to be the winner. Each contestant was given three trials, and errors, such as driving the nail crooked, hitting the wood, or bending the nail, counted against the contestant. A number of sore thumbs and fingers were the result of some of the eé- forts made to make that nail go into the wood straight. This evening the attrac- tion will be a needle-threading contest for gentlemen and piano solos by Misses Clara and Violet Fassett. a For Mission Work in the Alleys. The United States Veteran Christian Thurch Missionary Society was organized by Rey. John Briscoe of Baltimore at a meeting held Wednesday evening at 1009 New Jersey avenue.

How the Wily Cejestials Remove Rivals in Trade—The Hear- ings Go, Over. Yesterday afternoon,in the Police Court Judge Miller heard the proof in the case Gow, the Chinese laundryman, charged with threats.and conspiracy, but did not conclude the hearing. When the time for swearing the wit- nesses arrived Mrs. Collins and the other interpreters satd that they (the witnesses) considered the swearing with a rooster’s head or the breaking of a cup as binding. “Bring in the cups, then,” said Mr. Mul- lowny. “Tell the janitor to bring in some of his old crockery.” “Oh, no," said the judge, and the wit- nesses were sworn in the usual way, the fidge stating that he would punish any interpreter who did not repeat. the exact evidence as given by the witnesses. Sharlie Hong, the first witness called to give evidence against Sue Gow for al- leged conspiracy with Lum Kee Sing, through interpreters, told the court that Sue Gow and Lum Kee Sing came to his place and demanded money, which, he said, was for Hop Sing Lung, who keeps a laundry, and has a hall on 4% street. He first gave him $5. Sue Gow, he said, told him that if he did not contribute the money he would make trouble for him. “Do you know anything about the Hop Sing Town Club?” Mr. Mullowny asked. “Yes, sir,” was his answer; “it's on 4% ee Sue Gow a member ofthe club?” “Yes,” Witness said he never gave him any money after he gave them the $5, but three months before that he gave them some Chinese goods. Witness was shown a paper that he identified as an order he gave for goods. He was asked if he had ever re- ceived a letter from any one, and he said that the Hop Sing Town Club sent it to him, but he did not know who wrote it. The letter referred to was shown, and Mrs. Collins read it. The letter was addressed to Lee Way, Lee Tuck and Charlie Hong. The warrant charged that the offense was committed on the 14th of June. This, the witness sald, was the fifth moon and the 23d day with the Chinese. On cross-examination, witness said he never told Lawyer Aughinbaugh that he would withdraw the charges if the Sam Lee Company would raise the laundry price. Knows Them All. When questioned ty the court witness said he knows about two hundred or three hundred Chinamen in this city. He is slightly acquainted with nearly all the celestials and many of them come in his store. Witness was asked if there Is not a Chinese organization in Washington, the object of which is to keep up pric and he answered: “I don’t know about their business.” Witness has known Sue Gow about three months. He conducts the Hop Sing Town Club, so he has been informed. Witness said he had done nothing of which he was afraid when he gave up the $5, but he gave it up because he was afraid Sue Gow would injure his ‘business and himself. He had beard of similar clubs in other cities and be had algo beard of money be- ing paid in other cities. Charlie Hong, in answer to Lawyer Aughinbaugh’s questioning, said he had been accuse of gambling, and that Sue Gow and Ah Smeg were witnesses against him. Witness said he contributed money toward defraying the expenses of the pros- ecution. He Was There. Moy Philip, who is also in the grocery business, was next called. He speaks En- glish, but the services of an interpreter were found necessary. He sald that he was present In the store when Sue Gow and Lum Kee Sing called and got. the $5 from Charlie Hong. Witness said he heard Sue Gow say he would make trouble for Charlie Hong, if he did not give him the money. The mon he said, was for use at the place on 4 1-2 street. Witness told briefly what he claimed to know about the case, and then Moy Foon Ying, bookkeeper in Charlie Hong’s store, was sworn. He produced the books of the firm, and he had seen Sue Gow in the store. Lum Kee Sing was with him, and Charlie Hong gave him money, he s: for taxes. Witness made an entry of the payment in the book, and showed where he had made the entry. Wong Charles said that the entry was made in smaller letters than the other en- tries In the book, and he thought it was made sometime after the regular business was entered. Witness said he belonged to no club, but he contributed money to pay lawyers. Inside History. After Wong Charles, the New York inter- preter, had interpreted part of the testi- mony ne went on the stand as a witness and told the court of the means resorted to by some of the Chinamen to get rid of those who were doing work at cheaper prices. Their arrest, on charges, such as had been brought‘in this case, he sald, was one way, forging their names to notes and then making them sell out their places of busi- hess was another, while in some instances putting up jobs to land them in the peni- tentiary are resorted to. A number of Chinamen, he said, have been sent to prison in New York. The witness explain- ed that in.the case before the court he thought there was nothing more than an attempt on the part of the three hundred or more Chinamen to get rid of the few who were doing work cheaper than the established prices.. Witness told of Chinese clubs, lodges of Masons znd of the so- called highbinders, and when questioned about the reputation of Charlie Ton Sing, who was a member of the arctic expe- dition, he said his character is good. He has letters of recommendation from high officials, has been put in trusted places and not long ago he was given an intro- duction to Commissioner Roosevelt, as he is an applicant for a position on the New York police force, and will in all prob- ability get the position. Ah Sing was an important witness for Sue Gow. He has Sue Gow employed in his place. Sing had been threatened because he did work cheaper than the others. He had received letters from some of the other celestials. In one of them he was told that Charlie Lee, a Chicago interpreter and Chinese counsellor in Chicago, was to be hired at great expense to work up the case. The letter, he claimed, stated that Charlie Lee was to receive $500 for coming here, was to receive $100 a week and $ a day for drinks and cigars, in addition to $500 for two local lawyers. Sue Gow made a complete denial. He claimed that he did: not come here until thres days after the alleged offense is charged to have been.committed. He came here on the 17th of June, A Chinese Dinner. Lawyer Aughinbaugh was put on the stand, and he said he was at Ah Sing’s the SODOPOOEOLOD ODOR IOI O OPO IOOS Impure Blood Manifests itself in hives, pimples, boils and other eruptions which! dlsfigure the face und cause ‘pain and annoyance.

XK LADY FROM BURG HILL, OHIO, WRITES: ‘Having Keard much of the ‘wonderful cures of Gravel Dr. Kennedy's Favorite am happy to say it com- {MORE COMPLICATIONS ay that Sue Gow came. He was there at- ing a dinner party of which Mr. Pugh and Mr. Mullowny were members. Mr. Pugh remembered that Sue Gow came there while he was at dinner. Mr. Mullowny cross-examined Mr. Pugh concerning the dinner, asking him about the Chinese dishes, and he admitted that he tasted everything that was brought on the table, but like his friend, Mullowny, he could not manage to eat all of them. He relished some of the birds’ nest soup, thought the chicken was cooked as well as he had ever tasted it, and the Chinese candy was delicious, but there were other dishes the names of which he did not re- member, that he did not eat. Other evidence was heard, and counsel made short arguments. Judge Miller, commenting on the cases, said he paid no attention whatever to the letters that had been offered in evidence. He felt satisfied that they had been written by the very ones who presented them, and so far as the court was concerned they amounted to no more,.ard had no more weight, than so many wash bills. There were the other cases to be heard, and on account of the pressure of business he could not give them proper considera- tion at this time. He therefore let them all go over until Tuesday, when they will be heard at 6:30 o’clock in the evening. — DOGS AT LARGE. The Law Regarding Them Will Be Enforced. Judge Miller's disposition of the case of Carrie Brooks, tried two days ago for al- lowing a dog to run at large, has caused considerable uneasiness on part of per- sons who own dogs, and who have permit- ted them to run at large. As printed in The Star when the case was tried, the dog in question had been permitted to go where its fancy dictated, and during the hot weather the dog had selected one of the public parks as a breathing spot. Not only did the dog in question live on the grass and destroy the flowers, but children were frightened by its barking and attacks on them. The park watchman had notified the woman about the conduct of her dog, but she failed to keep the canine at home, with the result that a warrant was issued against her, and the case was tried. During the trial of the case the question of collar and tag was not raised, and dur- ing the discussion {t was stated that the fact that a tag was attached to the dog’s collar would not affect the case in the least. The charge was brought under the police Tegulations, the particular section provid- ing that, “No horse, mule, sheep, swine, dog, bovine or other cattle shall be allow- ed to run at large in the District of Co- lumbia, and any person owning or harbor- ing any such animal who shall suffer or permit the same to wander, rove or run at large unrestrained, shall, upon convic- tion thereof hefore the Police Court of said District, be fined as hereinafter provided, with costs of prosecution for each offense.” Judge Miller held Mrs. Brooks guilty of the charge, and she was required to pay @ fine of $5. Caused Anxiety. The publication in The Star of the hear- ing and disposition of the case caused much anxiety to the owners of dogs, and the police have been called upon by a num- ber of persons and questioned concerning their probable action in such cases. So much interest was shown in the mat- ter that Maj. Moore called the attention of the several Heutenants to the law this morning. In doing so he called their at- tention to an order of the Commissioners, issued last year, giving instructions about the enforcement of the law. It has been considered that the owner would be lable for taking a dog out with- out having a string attached, but- while such may possibly be the law the police will not prosecute for that. No” ar- rests will be mado in such cases, but the officers will prosecute in cases where dogs are permitted to leave their owners’ p: = ises and tramp the streets without babs a oe ae ed f ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure. : A cream of tartar baking powder.
