John Bell, colored, was taken into cus- lody -lest night, he exhibiting unmistak- able evidences of insanity. He was found running about, with great fright on his countenance. He imagined that men were after him with knives and ali sorts of deadly weapons. He cried piteously to the ‘ace behind him not to attack him. He said he was innocent, and did not deserve persecution. A great flood of perspiration ran down his face and bare:arms and drip- ped from his fingers. When held up he fell from exhaustion. He had been running with the utmost speed for over an hour, spectators say. His cries alone depicted an unbalanced mind.

The Commissioners have approved an opinion of Attorney Thomas with refer- ence to the payment of water rents. It was in the case of a householder who had paid his rent for an entire year and then vacated his house before the time was up. He asked for a refund for the portion of the year that the house was not occupied by him. The attorney holds that the law dces not make provision for an apportion- ment of rents, and that if the water privi- leges are not used for all the time paid for the District is not responsible and no re- fund can be made. The Merry-Go-Round. In answer to complaints made about a merry-go-round near ist and P streets, the attorney for the District has rendered an opinion te the effect that such places are not licensed by the District. If the peti- tioner can make a case against the pro- prietor for disorderly conduct, he may pro- ceed against him in the Police Court, or if any one is peculiarly affected by the nuisance, he may enjoin the operation of the merry-go-round. It is suggested by Attorney Thomas that the matter be called to the attention of the Heutenant of police for that precinct. Thanks for the Fender. John Schutempf, the father of the little boy who was picked up by a fender on the Eckington road, July 23, and thus saved from being mangled under the wheels, has written a letter to the Commissioners, in which he expresses his thanks to the board for enforcing the law requiring the attach- ment of fenders on all the roads in the city. To their action, he says, he owes the life of his child. —_—_—-__ The most expensive short story ever printed is “The Long Arm,” the $2,000 prize detective story, the first instailment of which will be printed in The Star of Sat- urday, August 3, WANTED HIM HANGED. A Wanderer Who Thought Budenseck a Bad Man. “Vere is de chief of de police?” inquired a dusty and tired tramp, as he walked into police headquarters this morning. “What do you wish to sec the chief of police about?” he was asked. “I vants him a teloxram to send.” ‘Who to?” 'Vy, to dem fellows in Philadelphia.” “What about?” “Vy, I tells yon—I vants dem fellows telegraphed to hang him right avay. He haf lived too long already.” The man was taken to the office of Sani- tary Officer Frank, to whom he explained that the man he desired hanged was one Budenseck, now in Philadelphia. “Dis man he never did a good deed in his life, and if he be not hanged he vill destroy dis whole place. I come here iast Monday, and dis man he come flying threuga the air, and verever I go dere he go. He is one bad man, and I vant him hanged right avay.”” Mr. Frank told the unfortunate man that he was perfectly right in wanting Mr. Budenseck suspended, and he would attend to the matter at once. He then persuaded the wanderer to accompany a policeman to @ patrol wagon, when the man was taken to the sixth precinct, wrere he will be de- tained until hls mental condition has been inquired into, probably 2 marshal's jury finally. The man said that he was horn in Germany and has no relatives in this country. He came here f New: N. J., he said. Sai taieia They Favor McKinley.
