Gas lights all lighted by 7:24 p.m.; ex- tinguishing begun at 3:48 a.m. The lighting is begun one hour before the time named. Can it be that the Washington Gas Light Ccmpany furnishes one sehedule for light- ing the city lamps for the public eye, and another schedule for the public purse? In The Star of yesterday it was stated, eoscaanty from official sources, that the mps would be lighted at 7:24 p.m., and extinguished at 3:48 a.m. Writing for my own neighborhood, I wish to say that the Jamps were not lighted until 8:20 p.m. and extinguished at 9:45 p.m. In conversation with one of the lamp lighters he informed me that his schedule read from 6:45 p.m. to 9:20 p.m.; that is, the first lamp was to be lighted at 6:45 p.m. and the first ex- tirguished at 9:20 p.m. As a matter of fact, neither schedule was followed, for, 1 am informed, but one hour is allowed to each territory for completing the task. Cannot The Star throw more light upon this-dark subject? Are the taxpayers to be ¢redited with having the benefit of eight hours of light with less than two hours’ service? « E. I.

They Were Mainly of the Bad Sort, However—Some Got Of on Personal Bonds. Police Court lawyers were scarce this morning, and those who were not in the little gathering yesterday were anxious to learn just what was said. Lawyer Chase, who was in court, told a Star reporter that he had known of a num- ber of small fees paid in cases, and in many of these, he said, the prisoners can get counsel for nothing, as some of the lawyers are willing to appear just for the sake of getting into court. The question of fees is nothing to them, and they will make speeches for which most attorneys would receive big fees. “Only the other day,” he said, “ a prom- inent lawyer had a case, and his client said he had paid him 50 cents for his services.” Judge Scott's procession this morning was a short one, and not a single one of the few victims had a legal adviser. Policeman Flynn had a singular experi- ence in serving breakfast this morning. Rose Johnson, one of the prisoners, «di clined to eat her breakfast. “I was up late last night,” she said, “and I ain't hungry. When I’ get hungry I'll send you word and you may send in my breakfast.” Alice Adams, a young colored woman from the country, was leader of the pro- cession, and the Cffense for which she was arrested last night was nothing but loud talking on New York avenue. She was fairly well dressed and did not appear like the women who hang about low dives and spend all their money in rum. “You are charged with disorderly con- duct,” was what the clerk told her. “Are you guilty or not guilty?” “Guilty,” the woman answer “but I would like to make a statement.” “What is your statement?” Judge Scott acked her. ° “I’m a stranger in town,” she answered. “I live ten miles in the country, and have peaches and chickens out there, and if you send me down I'll lese them all.”” “What were you doing here?” “My husband lives in the city, and I came in to seo him. While in the city T Fad several drinks and then got arrested. “Judge, your honor,” she concluded, “if you let me go I'll return home.” “You may go on your personal bonds this time,” said the court, “and if you come to town again you had better behave yourself.”” Women Prisoners. Emma Hawkins,a colored servant girl,was in the 4% street park last night about 11:30 o'clock in company with a male friend. The weather was warm, and ner temp2ra- ture was further increased by the use of some Sonth Washington “‘firewater.” “And she had been there under the inftu- “It was rather warm last night,” re- marked Judge Scott, “and the parks are comfortable cooling spots. If persons are seated on the benches a little late, and are Behaving themselves,-there is no reason why they should be disturbed “I never disturb them when they are be- having themselves.” ‘The woman was released on her personal bonds. A colored girl from Freeman's alley, whose name was given as Ella Hall, was In the procession as a vagrant, because of the reputation she has earned. 4 “She has been drinking and_ sleeping about from place to place,” said Police: man Gibson, “and I have warned her sev- eral times.”” The officer produced an anonymous let- ter making complaint against the woman, and the court accepted the letter in evi- dence. * “And judge, your honor,” the policeman concluded, “Policeman Flynn, who is de- tailed in court for duty, knows her.” “Captain Flynn,” said the judge, “step up and tell me what you know about the The big doorkeeper, who had thus been promoted, but only by the court, stepped up and gave evidence concerning the girl's general reputation. “I have known her for three years,” he “and she's a common woman, She ved in Freeman's alley for a long time.”* “Judge, “what the policeman said ain’t so. your honor,” said the woman, Ima decent lady.” “That you may be,"’ remarked the court, “but unfortunately for you the proof is against you, and you will have to give bond or go down.” She did not give bond. Some Men, Also. Peter Holmes, who violated the disorder- ly conduct act on 25th street, next appear- ed. Policeman A. W. Parham was the officer in the case, and the victims know he never makes an arrest without good cause, For that reason Peter sald “guilty,” and aid not even reserve the right to make a state- ment. “Five dollars or fifteen days each.” iam Harien were in sion of unfortunates. They are strangers in the city and were found on the railroad track near Ivy City yesterday. “I am from Baltimore,” said tne younger of the two men. = “What's your name?” Judge Scott asked. “William Harten.” “Where is your home?” n_ Baltimore.” “What are you doing here?” “Looking for work.’” What's your trade?” ‘I'm a printer.” Brewer was next called to the stand, and he sald his story was substantially the same as that of his friend, whom he met on the road. Judge Scott questioned him and learned that his story was not even abbut the same as that told by Harten. A sentence of thirty days in default of security was imposed. Ollie brown, a neatly dressed colored wo- man, was in the dock, but as Policeman Lightfoot, who had complained sgainst her, was not present, the case was dismissed {or want of prosecution. ——__ SEVERAL AWARDS.

OVER ANIMAL EXTRACTS. Contention Between Dr. Hammond and the Columbian Company. A cross bill has been filed with the clerk of the court by Dr. William A. Hammond in the sult brought by the Columbia Chem- ical Company against the Animal Ex- tract Company and himself to restrain the manufacture of certain animal ex- tracts. In hig cross bill Dr. Hammond asks that the contract between the Colum- bia company and himself be dissolved. The doctor claims, among other things, that the company is publishing false and fraudulent letters and advertisements; that medicines are being manufactured at the office on 14th street, when it is specified in the contract that they shall be manufactured under Dr. Hammond's supervision; that medulline has been sold under the name of muscaline, and that the Columbia company is selling extracts made from material shipped from Chicago. Judge Cole ordered the Columbia com- pany to show cause, August 12, why the temporary restraining order issued against Dr. Hammond and the Animal Extract Company July 25 be not dismissed. ———— MADE MANY BEQUESTS.

It is far noble~ and better that they should give their best efforts to prevent crime than to detect and bring the crimi- nal to punishment. Boys who are permitted to run at large, unrestrained, ard are allcwed to pillage orcharés, end cemmit trespass and waste without check or hindrarce are being edu- cated to become burglars and thieves in er life. It is notorious that in every di- rection, all over the city and in the coun- try round about, the same scenes are en- acted with impunity as described by Miss Flagler and her neighbors. Within a stone's throw of the Capitol boys—principally white ones—have so raided my fruit trees that I have cut dowr several valuable ones, most exposed, to get rid of the nui- sance of not only having the limbs broken and fruit bruised and stolen, but my grounds filled with clubs and brickbats and stones. This very season, the moment the cher- ries on one unfortunate tree, standing too near a twelve-foot wall, began to turn the bombardment commenced, and during my temporary absence the little thieves got frem the wail into the tree, and neady ruined it by breaking the branches throwing them to companions in the alley. Not only this, but they played burglars by working mortar from between the bricks in the wall. so as to give them free access to the grounds. And they did the same thing to the wall of a building on the op- posite side of the lot. T have also a place in the suburbs, o¢cu- pied by a tenant who does business in the city, and during his absence gangs of hood- lums, with whom are mingled boys of ap- perent respectability, run through the or- ckards and openly rob the trees of half- ripe pears and apples, peaches and cher- ries. Some half dozen large cherry trees were nearly ruined by the breaking off of branches to get the fruit. 5 Not only this, but they have gone into the cornfield and filled sacks with ears, casting defiance to those who tried to re- strain them. And this upon a public high- » along which a mounted policeman gaily rides on his rourds. My tenant tells me that he has repeat- edly askec protection of the police, but he gets none. As for my city place, I also made complaint at the preper station, and a policeman was sent to look into the mat- He made one appearance and some stigation and the trespassing stopped I am satisfied that if the police were properly charged to give special attention to these acts of vandalism and thieving whenever they occur or their beats, with- out waiting for formal ccmplaints to be made, the thing could be and would be stopped, end this education of criminals cease. “This raiding of orchards and gardens is utterly destructive of the fruft industry and should be stopped, and our police force must be so instructed and managed as to effect the result. To say that it cannot be done is ab: ‘This raiding is in the full light of clese by the twirling clubs of the saunter- ing policemen. A few “runnings in,” a few fines or “sendings up"—just enough to show the boys that the “cups” were on the watch and meant business—wculd do the work. We pay our police for protection; let us have It! REFORM. THE SALE RESTRATN =D. Judge Lynch Interferes With the Dix- posal of the Glen Echo Railrond, ‘The Glen Echo railroad was to have been sold under foreclosure of deed of trust, at its junction with the Tenleytown road, ye: terday at 2 o'clock, but an injunction ob- tained from Judge Lynch at Frederick.Ma., by the attorney of E. and E. Baltzley, M John Ridout, was served on the trustees and the sale was, therefore, not mad Mceers. E. and E. Baltzley, who are mos largely interested in the railroad, say that the present deed of trust is for a balance due, principally to the Westinghouse com- pany, amounting in the neighborhood of $17,000 and interest, the original amount Laving been reduced from $53,000,and while that company wanted a settlement, it has only been recently that extreme measures have been threatened, through the Influ- ence, It Is beleved, of parties who wanted to acquire the railroad. The Messrs, Baltz- ley and others having put a large sum of money in this road, amounting to over $200,000, say they will not permit it to be sold for such a paltry sum. Sn Not Known Here. The Harrisburg police authorities have a case under investigation involving a mur- der or suicide, and they have communicated with the police officials here for informa- tion concerning the man. Chief Anderson of the Harrisburg police sent to Maj. Moore a letter giving particulars and description of the man, as follows: “On last Sunday an unknown man was found here with his throat cut. His de- scription is as follows: Age, about thirty- eight year: feet 8 inches tall; weight, 150; ordinary build; light brown hair; red mustache; scar over bridge of nose; small- pox marked, He was dressed in black sack coat, vest and blue overalls, striped shirt and coarse shoes. His general appearance is that of a farm hand or laboring man. He had a newspaper scrap from a Wash- ington paper. Nothing to identify him. Did you have 2 man missing answering this description? Inspector Hollinberger has sent a reply that no person of this description has heen reported among the missing. There are several persons missing from here, but none of them answer this description. ase Charges False Representations, Francis Hall, a colored man, who former- ly kept a restaurant at 923 11th street northwest, swore out a warrant yesterday afternoon charging Luther W. Sprare, president of the New Alexandria Improve- ment Company, with obtairing money under false pretenses. The warrant charges that Speare obtained $100"from Hall by alleged resentations in a business trans- action Involving the purchase of a house whieh was in course of erection at New Alexandria, It is alleged that Hall was to psy $200 when the cellar was dug and. $1) when the structure was ready to be plaster- ed.

Carpenters’ Council; at its meeting last night in their hall, No. 627 Massachusetts avenue northwest, took a step which, it is believed in organized labor circles, will In- evitably bring on a war between the union laboring men of the District on the une side ard the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company. The subject of the discharge of one con- ductor on the Eckington line because he was a union man, and, it is alleged, for no other reason, and the dismissal of another, who is now out of the city sick, for the reported reason that it was understood by the management of the*road that he con- templated joining the Protective Street Railway Union, as publisied in The Star of yesterday, was brought before the council and elicited much discussion., Nearly all present had something to say in reference to the matter, and the speeches were char- acterized by a degree of indignation such as seldom finds vent in the addresses be- fore the body. : The council unanimously urged that every member of organized labor in the District should cease to patronize the line until the wrong was remedied. It was stated that the matter will be brought up by one of the members of the council, who is also a delegate to the Building Trades’ Council, at the meeting of the latter Mon- day night next, while it is equally well assured that the Federation of Labor will heve the same subject before it at the weekly meeting Tuesday night. The controversy with the Emerson Shoe Company was discussed at length. The secretary was directed to write to the proprietors of the concern, Messrs. R. P. Grover & Co., Brockton, Mass., and fully inform them of the state of- affairs. o The new deiegate from Carpenters’Union, No. 1, Mr. Samuel Beall, was admitted and obligated. 1t was announced that Mr. E. H. Morsell has presented each of- the carpenters’ unions in the city, four in number, with a handsome flag, which will be carried for the first time in tne Labor day parade., Varicus matters relative to Labor day were brought up, discussed and approved, among them being the appointment of President James F. McHugh as chief al of the parade, and the resolution d by the Labor day conference at its meeting Sunday last to have all mottos which it is desired to carry in the line in- spected by a committee, so that nothing offensive or personal to any one shall find a place in the parade, as it is the wish of the members of organized labor to be on wood terms with every one. ‘The special committee appointed to see the builders of the District and ask them to sign an agreement to employ none but union labor hereafter—the latter agreeing to do certain things to reciprocate—report- ed gratifying progress. The proof of the agreement was shown to the council and approved by them and ordered to be print- ed. u The matter of printing the constitution was leid over until efter Labor day... The organization committee reported that several jobs, which have been reported as about to "be «undertaken or are under way, are being looked after by them. The regular weekly “meeting of District Assembly No. 66, Knights of Labor, was held last night at Plasterers’ Hal, corner of Pennsylvania avenue and, 4% street northwest. No business other than that of a routine character was transacted. Iron und Cornice Workers. her Busines: The Galvanized Iron and Cornice Workers held their usual meeting last night, Presi- dent William Chamley being in the charr, and Mr. E. C. Childress, secretary. It was reported that some of the empioyers in the District are not Keeping up to their acree- ment to pay their men promptly every two weeks, and a committee was appointed to look after the matter. It was announced that fer the first time in a Labor day par- rade in Washington the bosses will be in the line with their men in the coming cele- bration. Two new members were elected. Gronite Cutters’ Union, The members of the Washington branch of the National Granite Cutters’ Union, at a special meeting held last night, deter- mined by a unanimous vote to take part in the Labor day festivities. So earnest are the members in this matter that a fine of three dollars will be imposed on any one belonging to the unron who shall work on Labor day. Messrs. William Sil- ver and James Bennett were appointed a committee to make all necessary arrange- ments. Steanmfitters’ Association. Labor day matters formed the principal tepic of discussion at the meeting last night of the Steamfitters and Helpers’ Association. A uniform was adopted, con- sisting of blue jackets and overalls and lack caps. At the head of the line there will be a wagon fitted out with anvils, vises and a boiler, representing the tools used in the work of the craft. Freseo Painters. Officers for the ensuing year were elected at last night's meeting of the fresco painters, and are as follows: President, Christian Beatty; vice president, Thomas Grady; recording ‘secretary, Noble Lindsey firancial secretary and treasurer, John J. Dasenbrock. Messrs Battlefield, Beatty, Lindsey and Dasenbrock were elected dele- gates to the Federation of Labor. Plumbers and Gas Fitters. Plumbers and Gas Fitters’ Union, No. 5, held an excellent meeting last night at” Elks’ Hall, corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 9th street northwest. The proceed- ings were entirely devoted to Labor day matters. It was determined that each member must parade en that day or be subject to a fine of $3. The uniform adopt- ed to be worn wili consist of white trous- ers, blue coats and white caps, with blue bands, and each member will flag attached to the end of a walking cane. The contract for the uniforms was award- ed to Messrs. Saks & Co. A committee, composed of Messrs. Charles C. Besford, Richard O’Brien and C. Piast, was appoint- ed to make all the further arrangements recessary for the proper observance of Labor day. Mr. John J. Daly was elected treasurer to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. J. F. Murphy. ae Outcome of Proctor’s Case. Another member of the pclice force may be put on trial before the police trial board on charges growing out of the Proctor case, which involved the circumstarttes of the arest of the young man Maxweil and Mrs. Fyran for an alleged violation of the Edmurds law. This time another young woman figures in the case. She is em- ployed in the mail bag repair shop, where Miss Fynan worked, and she claims that a policeman who came ficm the part of Vir- ginia where her home is has been circulat- ing stories to ‘he effect that she is the one who figured in the Maxwell case. Yesterday afternoon she called at police beadquarte: to enter complaint against the officer. The young woman was very indignant, and said she wanted the officer punished. As the proper officials to re- ceive such cor plaints were not in the office the young woman left, telling the officers that she would make complaint in writing to Maj. Moore. ———o Dead Animals, Twenty-seven cats, eight dogs, four horses and several chickens were reported dead in varicus gections of the city this morning. ‘The dead wagon was sent for them, and they: will probably reach the factory down tne river in time to cause this evening’s excursionists on the river some unpleasantness. ———.__ Sunday at Deer Park and Oakland.

After the adjourn- ment of the convention the general opinion appeared to be that the ticket was a good one, and would receive the undivided sup- port of the party in the county. ‘The resolutions adopted predicted repub- can success, fevored resssessment, good roads and free schools, denounced the last legislature for failing to extend Judge Vin- son’s term, complimented Congressman Wellingtcn for his victory last November and increased the distHict representation at county converticns from five to nine. The convention also elected three members of the state central committee, being Henry Miller, Wm. Proctor and Allan Rutherford. These gentlemen, with the chairman of the county committee, consti- tute the Montgomery representation of that body. Immediately following the con- vention ‘the county ccmmittee met and elected Tom C. Noyes ckairman. The starding of the ccnvention on the governorship question was clearly shown by twe test votes. The committee on nom- inations submitted a repcrt providing for a Lowndes delegation, but this report was turned down by the conventton, and a sub- stitute lot of delegates-at-large, who are all known as Malster men, was elected. So many of the delegates as may be pre: ent at the Cambridge ccnvention were di- rected to cast the four votes of Montgom- ery, which will preclude the use of proxies. ee SS THESE ARE SURVIVORS.

THE SLEUTHS DISAPPOINTED. Bloody Clothes Found in a Stream Ex- cite the Detectives. Inspector __Hollinberger’s _ detectives thought this morning that they might have @ mysterious murder case to Investigate when a postal card from Dr. Alexander Dunbar of Langdon Heights was received. In this card the doctor gave information of the finding of some blcod-stained clothing in a creek near the place of Mr. Lewis Maltby, and from this information the officers expected they would have a case that needed some careful investigation. Detective Rhodes was sent out to make an investigation and he soon concluded that the case needed no investigation. The clothing found, he learned, was nothing but some ordinary underclothing, and the blcod prints, he thought, came from one of the slaughter houses near the branch. There was nothing to indicate that a trag- edy had been committed, and the case was dropped. 4 3 ——.__ $1.25 To Baltimore and Return $1.25 vin B. and 0.
