Colledge. Mr. C. B. R. Colledge, for many years an employe in the government service, died at his home last evening. He was a native of Pennsylvania, and during the war was drill master for recruits at Pittsburg. For many years he has honorably filled po- sitions in the sixth auditor's office and pen- sion bureau. Mr. Colledge was a prominent Mason and Odd Fellow. and had served in nearly all the important offices of the or- ders. He was a member of the Grand Ledge, I. O. O. F., also of the Grand En- campment, Columbian Encampment, Bea- con Lodge, Naomi Lodge, D. of R., and Canton Potomac, No. 5, Patriarchs Mill- tant. These bodies will meet tonight to make arrangements for attending the fu- which will take place at 4 o'clock to- y afternoon from Hamline Church. Mr. Colledge was, for several years, en- gaged in the staff of the Sunday Herald of this city, his particular field being the chronicling of the news of secret orders. He leaves a widow, but no children. genes Mr. Jefferso Letter of Credit. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I read with interest in your issue of the 7th an account of the famous letter of credit which President Jefferson gave Capt. Meriwether Lewis in 1803. The letter you print is perfectly authentic, and substan- tially correct; but the writer of the article is singularly mistaken in stating that but for the Lewis and Clark exploration the “Louisiana purchase might not have been made’’—the fact being that the purchase had been made and the country handed over to us before Lewls and Clark started 1n their expedition, May 14, 1804. With regard to the originality of that ccpy of the letter of credit which seems to have turned up at Helena, Mont., it may be said, simply, that several different copies exist, in Jefferson's handwriting. There are two such now in the bureau of rolls and Ubrary of the State Department at Washington, both of which I have ex- amined. One of these is a rough draft, with interlineations and erasures; the oth- er ts the fair copy, which I printed ver- batim et literatim in my recent edition of Lewis and Clark. Another copy (whether in Jefferson's handwriting or not I do not know) has long been in St. Louis, in the possession of Jefferson K. Clark, the only surviving son of the great explorer. It would be very easy to say, on inspection of the Helena copy, or cf the photograph of it, whether it is a Jefferson writing, or a ecpy by another hand. ELLIOTT COUES.

Policemen who have had long experience in this business attribute the heavy business to liquor drinking, al- though many arrests are made for trivial offenses. In tne second precinct the police made war on the corner loafers along the line of 7th street, north of New York avenue, es- pecially in the neighborhood of the O street market, and as many as six pris- oners were sent to the station at one time. Included in these several’lots of ‘prisoners were many women, and in other sections of the city the women did not fare any better. When all the stations were heard from the figures for the twenty-four hours showed a total of 130 arrests, including tore than two dozen women. ..Many of these people were arrested as plain drunk” and they were released when sober. Then, too, a number of per- sons were arrested and recorded as wit- nesses. There were so many arrests. made, that the “Black Maria” had plenty of work this morning, and nearly seventy passen- gers were hauled in the free coach. The coaching parties did not have an. especially enjoyable time, because the ventilators in the close-covered vehicle are not. large enough to admit much fresh air. When breakfast had been served and Judge Scott appeared in court the proces- sion of prisoners appeared in the dock, and there were so many women in the crowd that there were fot benches enough to seat them. For this reason they had to take their chances along the line of the tron grating, while a bunch of the gaily dressed ones stood in front. The First Case. Nettie Cash, twenty-five years old, was the leader of the procession, and the charge of disorderly conduct against her was filed by Policeman McGuire. “I made a loud noise, charge.” answered Nettie. I had a right to make it.” “How so?” she was asked. “I was seated on my doorstep,” she an- swered, “when a man came along and struck me in the eye. I cried murder, and that’s all the noise I made.” “And she was threatening to cut some- body,” the policeman said... . . = “No, indeed, judge,” added the woman. “Five dollars.” Nellie King, a colored woman from an- other section of the city, was in court be- cause she made a noise Saturday night. Her outcry resulted from her objection to a mixture of beer and water. “She was under a shed in the alley with a crowd of men and women, and they were rushing the growler,” said the policeman. “Rushing what?” interrupted the court. “The growler,” answered the policeman, “sending for tin cans of beer." “And was there any disorder?” “Yes, sir; somebody threw a bucket of water on this woman, and she raised the mischief.” a + “Was she profane?” "’ ae sir; and she’s generally disreputa- le" A fine of $3 was imposed. Policeman Bean had been told that John Hogan had been disorderly, and he calied him and asked him to tell about the affair. But John did not intend to make a con- fession in this way. Instead of doing so if that’s the m guilty, but he informed the policeman in a conversa- tional way that it was none of his ‘“— — busines: John was arrested, and Judge Scott fined him $5, and he ts now in need of a friend. Took His Personal Bonds. “Shut up, or I'll arrest you before you can drop your hat.” This is what Joseph Jones, colored, accused a policeman of having said to him. “Complaints have been made about peo- ple loafing on L street near a saloon,” said Policeman Parham, “and Saturday night I arrested this man, whom I regard as a fixture.” “I was standing on’ the “opposite side of the street from Mrs. Gallagher's saloon,” said Jones, “and was arrested for nothing. “Were you on the same side of the street?” “Yes, sir; directly in front of the saloon. ‘ad you been in the salon drinking?” ertainly I had,” he answered; “it was nearly 12 o'clock, and we only had one beer.” 5 Judge Scott advised him to obey the offi- cer’s order the next time, and took his personal bonds. Policeman Lynch and a colored woman named Lizzie Coleman had a great time Saturday night. Lizzie had been drinking Swampoodle “fire water,” and when the policeman ar- rested her for boisterous conduct she re- sisted. “She tried to bite and kick me,” said the officer. “‘and before we reached the station she tore off my badge” Five dollars. Charlotte Harris, Julla Bellows and two other Georgetown colored women repre- sented the section west of Rock creek. They were arrested yesterday morning about chureh time, after they had indulged in some liquid refreshments. “Did they secm to be drinking about the time of their arrest ‘No, sir, but they were under the in- fluence.” ‘The statement of the women showed that the trouble was caused by one of the wo- men going to the house in search of her mate friend. “Three dollars fine all around,” remarked the court. Becky Poindexter, a little woman from the same neighborhood, next appeared, and said guilty. “She was raising Cain,” said the officer, but as the judge did not know any legal definition of the word, so far as law vio- lation was concerned, the policeman had to give a bill of particulars. Then Becky was presented with a bill for $5, and she told her companions that the court could put the bill on ice. The 7th street obstruction cases, a num- ber of vagrants and “disorderly persons were called and fined. In a number of disorderly cases it was shown that the disorder consisted of cries of “murder” because of assaults committed, and the judge disposed of them according to the facts in the particular cases.

Gillette of Iilinois. Rev. Adolos Allen, co-pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, occupied his pulpit yesterday for the first time since his re- turn from a vacation abroad. A native Chinese, Rev. Tsoong, or, as he is called by his American name, Charles Bell, gave an interesting talk on China and the Chinese at the Mt. Vernon M. E. Church yesterday. Mr. Tsoong is studying in a theological school in Georgia, and ex- pects lo return to China and engage in evangelistic work there as soon as his course is completed. q At the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church yesterday Rev. S. Geriah Lamkins occu- pied the pulpit in the absence of the pas- tor, Rev. Dr. Brooks. In the course of his morning sermon Mr. Lamkins referred to the unfortunate shooting of Ernest Greer, saying that it would be less than human if the community failed to sympathize with Gen. and Mrs. Flagler in the trouble that has come to them because of their daugh- ter’s act, as well as feel an inexpressible sorrow for the parents of the dead boy. Two things, said he, were made plain by the occurrence; first, that we are far re- moved from the time when Chief Justice Taney declared that the negro had no rights the white man was bound to respect, and, secondly, the difference in public sentiment in this case from that over the killing of Reuben Foster emphasizes the difference between a good and bad reputa- tion in the community. Echo meetings of the Boston convention are still being held in Christian Endeavor societies, as if the members would never tire of listening to accounts of the good accomplished and the influences resultant from that great religious gathering. At the Vermont Avenue Christian Society last night Miss Anna J. Bell, Miss Mary Cal- Eaugh, Mrs. F. L. Burton, A. S. Taylor, Miss Mary Drown, Milford Thompson and M. M. Shand made brief addresses. ~ Rev. Dr. Reese of Philadelphia is filling Dr. Greene's pulpit at the Calvary Baptist Church during August. His sermon yester- day morning was on the subject, “The Christ Whom We Do Not Know.” Rev. Moses D. Hoge of Richmond, Va., again preached at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church yesterday morning. ——— GUNTON MEMORIAL TEMPLE. An Echo Meeting by the Christian Endeavor Society. Despite the warm atmosphere of last evening the Gunton Temple Memorial Pres- byterian Church, corner 14th ard R streets, was crowded by Christian Endeavorers and churchgoers, to hear the intevesting report of Miss Anna Hamlin, who represented the | society of that church at the C. E. con- vention recently held in Boston. The churci auditorium was tastefully decorat2d with American and C.E. flags brought by the so- ciety from the hub. The choir loft was also decorated with flags, ferns and flowers. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Austin of the Church cf the Cov- enant of Baltimore, followed by music by the church choir, under the leadership of Mr. George A. Prevost. Mr. George Leet conducted the exercises. Among those seated on the platform were: Rev. Dr. Austin of the Church of the Covenant of Baltimore, Mr. George Leet, president of the Christian Endeavo- Society, Miss Anna, Hamlin, Miss Zue Brockett, Mr. Fred War- man, Miss Little and Mr. Vernon Hodges, all of whom represented the society of that church at the convention. Miss Brockett and Miss Little repeated the twenty-fourth Psalm, after which the congregation sung “Throw Out the Life Line.” A very touching solo was rendered by Miss Edith Herron during the offertory, after which the report of Miss Hamlin was then read. Z The benediction was then pronounced by Dr. Austin, after which, at the suggestion cf the president, Mr. George Leet. the con- gBregation, by a rising vote, tendered their thanks to Miss Hamlin for her excellent report on the great Christian Endeavor convention. _——— ication at Bowte. ing A Ded Cerrespondence of The . is BOWIE, Md. ugust 12, 1895. A dedicatory service held yesterday at the Church of the Ascension was attended by a large concourse of people from Wash- ington, Baltimore and this neighborhood. This church was erected about a year ago sclely through the efforts of the Kev. M A. Noel. It is a pretty frame structure built in the monastic style, and situated on a commanding eminence. The altar is quite historic, being the old altar of Georgetown Chapel, and was originally dedicated by Archbishop Carroll, the first archbishop of the United States, and a native of Prince George’s county. The main feature of the altar as now in the church is a three- quarter life size oil painting of the Ascen- sicn of Christ, by Pacilli, 9 celebrated Ro- man artist. This picture was purchased at a cost of fifteen hundred dollars, and do- rated to the church by Mr. Geo. Menkey the well-known merchant of Washington. Mr. Meinard Menke, son of the donor, has recently had erected a handsome reredos, and the latter brings out prominently the beauties of the picture. The reredos was yesterday dedicated with impressive ser- Vices. Rev. Father W. J. Michley of Georgetown iversity: was the celebrant, and conducted solemn high mass, being as- sisted by Revs. M. A. Noel, Fathers Matt- scn, deacon, and Henl: Amonz the visiting clergy was Father Mathews of Loyola College, Baltimore. A select choir from Washington furnished the music, and under the direction of Miss Hannah Wade rendered Peter's mass in D in magnificent style. Among those pres- ent from Washington were Mr. Geo. Menke, Mr. Meinard Menke and family, Misses M. Allen, A. Rever, H. Wade, M. Brosnahan, M. Rover and I. Wade, and Messrs. Chas. Goodschild, Edw. P. Schwartz and J. Walsh. AHleged Non-Reducible Garbage. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Before the Commissioners accept a “re- duction system of garbage disposition, I should like to haye them ask the contrac- tor, health officer or some competent person what it is proposed to do with potato par- ings, corn husks, egg shells, coffee grounds, ete., which form such a large proportion of our garbage. They must, or at least should, know that varlous elements found in our garbage col- lections cannot be “‘reduced,’’ but must be disposed of by other processes, and unless this fact is fully understood and some pro- vision made for the disposal of the non-re- ducible ingredients, we will have utter fail- ure. As pointed out in a previous letter, the animal maiters are easily reducible, put vegetable matters alone or mixed with other matters cannot be reduced satisfac- torily, if at all. Let the Commissioners insist upon a full explanation from the health officer of the manner in which this class of garbage was treated in the reduction plants visited and approved by him. If there is any “reduc- tion” plant that will sucessfully reduce wa- termelon rinds, corn husks, egg shells and like matters, the public should be fully ac- quainted with its details at once. as ES An Appeal From-an Award. An appeal has been noted by James B. McCaffrey from the award recently made by the commission, sitting in the Great Falls railway land condemnation proceed- ings. The company, it is understood, will be permitted to enter the property of Mr. McCaffrey, pending the appeal, on giving bond in double the sum stated as value and damages in the award. ———_—_ A, Meeting Postponed. There was a postponement of the mass meeting of the Anti-saloon League of the District, which was to have been held at Brightwood yesterday afternoon.

The officers of the law in question are an important adjunct to the District Supreme Court, especially so now that their powers -have been enlarged, but the general public, as a rule, are woefully unfamiliar with the duties and the history of the office. The justices of the peace—fifteen in num- ber—are appointed by the President and the nominations must be confirmed by the Sen- ate. Two are assigned to Georgetown, one in ‘Tenleytown, one In Brightwood, one in Anacostia and ten in Washington. The term of office is for four years, subject to removal for cause. The justices are re- quired to take an oath for the faithful dis- charge of the duties of their office; they must give a bond that is fixed and approved by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and conform to the rules of prac- tice prepared by the same. __ Until recently justices of the peace in the District had jurisdiction in all civil cases where the amount claimed to be due for debt or damages arising out of contracts, or damages for wrongs or injuries to per- sons or property, did not exceed $100, ex- cept in cases involving the title to real estate, actions to recover damages for as- sault or assault and battery, malicious Erosecution,-actions against justices of the Peace or other officers for misconduct in office or in actions for slander. Jurisdiction cannot be exercised by jus- tices of the peace over crimes and offenses either for examination to commit or to hold to bail forsfinal judgment. However, any justice of the peace may, on complaint un- der oath or actual view, issue warrants re- turnable to the Police Court against persons accused of crimes and offenses committed in the District. Attendance of Witnesses. These justices also have the power to compel attendance of witnesses by attach- ment and to punish them by a fine not ex- ceeding $10, or by imprisonment for not more than ten days, for refusing obedience to a summons. 5 Any justice of the peace in all cases with- in his jurisdiction is authorized to try and determine the matter in controversy and give judgment according to law. But in actions where the sum demanded exceeds $20 either of the parties to the suit may demand a trial by jury. In such an event the justice has the power to direct any con- stable in the District to summon twelve jurors. Appeals te the Suppeme Court of the Dis- trict may be taken fmom the judgment of a justice of the peace, where the issue in- volves a debt or demamd exceeding $5. Any justice of the peace, upon indictment and conviction of imcompétency, habitual drunkenness, corruption in office or of any other willful misconduet in the discharge of his official duties, ceases to powers of the office. The Supre the District may remove jusiices of the peace for cause. A bill of fees and costs to be taxed, and charged by justices ofthe peace in all civil suits is fixed by the Supreme Court. The act of Congress approved February 19 tast, extending the jurisdictiom of justices of the peace and regulating he proceed- ings before them, provided chiefly that they shall have jurisdiction :to iry and determine all civil pleas and aetiens, including attach- ment and replevia, when the amount claim- ed to be due or the valie of the property ee to be recovered shall not exceed 0, . The advantages of this increase from $100 to $300 are important, perhaps the chief being that the crowded condition of the dceckets of the Supreme Court ts great- ly relieved. an amount greater than $100, it was neces- sary to file in the Supreme Ccurt. The justices of the peace in Washington are: Samuel R. Church, appointed July 20, 1894; Emanuel M. Hewlett, appointed Au- gust 24, 1594; Samuel C. Mills, appointed January 19, 1891; John H. O'Donnell, ap- pointed April 20, 1892; Lewis I. O'Neal, ap- pointed Decefnber 13, 1892; Anson S. Tay- lor, appointed March 1: Luke C. Strider, appointed May Charles F. Scott, appointed June 13, 1894; Charles S. Bundy, appointed June 13, 1894, and Will- iam C. Harper, appointed June 13, 1804. In Georgetown the justives are: Joseph W. Davis, appointed March 21, 1804, and Oliver P, Johnson, appointed August 1893. Carroll W. Smith, appointed August 28, 184, officiates in Uniontown, while the of- fices at Lrightwood and Tenleytewn are at present vacant. = STREET RAILWAY MEN. The Protective Union and Dismissed Employes. It is understood that the Protective Street Railway Union will, at its next meeting, be asked to pass upon two questions of im- pertance to some of the members. The first cf these is whether a man who refuses to wear the button which has been prescribed as the badge of the order and who declares kis contempt for the e can be considered a worthy and loyal member of the organization. Ana the other is as to what extent the influence of the union ought to be exerted to secure the reinstatement of a member dismissed for a glaring offense from the service of a street railroad. ‘A case of the latter kind has arisen upon the Anacostia railway. ‘A driver of that road, a few days ago, was laid off, charged with flagrant care- lessness and’ violation of the rules of the road. He will, it is said, ask the union to see if President Griswold will not again put him to work. The committee appointed at the last meeting of the union, and consisting of employes of the Anacostia line, to see if the driver who was dismissed for loafing, etc., as stated in The Star of Friday, could not again re-enter the service of the Ana- cestia company, have not yet called upon President Griswold to state the object of their mission. ——_ Mr. Lewis Asis a Divorce. Because of alleged habitual intoxication and also adultery onthe part of the de- fendant, Jordan Lewis, an employe of the United States navy yard in this city, today filed suit for divorce from Martha Lewis. They were married im 1879 and have had four children, three of whom are now liv- ing. After stating that “during the greater part of the'r married life, and until the final separation on about April 15 last, they lived at 2331 Champlain avenue, Mr. Lewis charges that at various times his wife left him without cause. About two years after the marriage, so says the complainant, Mrs. Lewis contracted the habit of using intoxicating liquors freely, and became an habitual drunkard, spending most of her time in drunken debauches, thereby being unable to perform necessary household duties. Mr. Lewis also charges his wife with adultery, naming three correspondents. In addition to a divorce Mr. Lewis asks that their minor child Paul be delivered into his custody. ——__ Mr. Warner to Edit a Paper. Mr. Brainard H. Warner has assumed the editorial management of the ‘‘Mont- gomery Press,” the weekly published at Kensington, Md. In the last issue of the paper the retiring editor, Mr. Frederick Benjamin, announces the change of edi- torial management, saying: “Believing that I have now found the person who in the highest degree possesses the qualifica- tions necessary to make the Press a better paper than I could even hope to do, I have with the consent and approval of the board of directors resigned as editor and man- ager of the Press, and it will hereafter be conducted by Mr. Brainard H. Warner ef Kensington.” Heretofore, if any suit involved |", AMONG THE LABOR BODIES. Action of Union Cigar Makers —The Bakers and Labor Day. At a meeting of the Cigar Makers’ Union Saturday night considerable business was transacted. member for the purpose of defraying the expenses incident to agitating the union labor question was ordered. A resolution was adopted that the union would do all in its power to promote the success of the Proposed excursion to Marshall Hall for the benefit of the widows of the two cor- “nice makers who were killed while at work some weeks ago. The committee of arrangements was in- structed to ask the managers of the grounds at Marshall Hall and the steam- ers used to convey the excursionists to per- mit none but union-made cigars to be sold either on the grounds or steamers that day. A cormittee was also appointed to act in co-operation with a similar committee from the Barbers’ Assembly to try to get the barbers throughout the District to sell none but union-made cigars. Bread and Labor Day. A proposition of the boss bakers was submitted at the meeting Saturday night of the Bakers’ and Confectioners’ Union, which elicited much discussion. This was that the journeymen bakers shall return to work at 6 p.m. Labor day in order that the public may be served with fresh bread on the following day. Most of those pres- ent expressed their disapproval of the proposition. It was stated that as Labor day is a lege] holiday the members of the union are entitled to it, and *he question of fresh or stale bread has nothing to do with the matter. It was further stated that the public eats stale bread every Sunday, and the opinion seemed to prevail that the great mess of the people will not be injured if they also ate stale bread the day after Labor day. A uniform to wear on Labor day was selected. It will consist of black trousers, white shirts, belts and caps. A committee was selected to confer with D. A. 66, K. of L., and make all necessary arrangements for the part the union will take in the parade. Organizing Laundry Girls. A preliminary meeting for the organiza- tion into an assembly of the K. of L. of young women employed in laundries was held Friday night at Society Temple. Be- tween fifty and sixty girls and some young men who are employed in the same line of business were present. Mr. W. H. G.

A Free Silver Debate at 7th Street and the Avenue. A free silver meeting at the corner of 7th street and Pennsylvania avenue was brought to an end by the police last even- ing. Maj. Flood headed the speakers, who were to carry cn a debate. The debaters were Col. Ellison, editor of a local weekly paper, and Mr. Baldwin. Oliver P. Jack- son, a justice of the peace, also made re- marks on the silver question. It was about 9 o'clock when the speaking began, with a small audience. The meeting had lasted but a short time when a couple of police- men arrived and ordered all present to move on. Maj. Flood was indignant at this interference, as he said no objection was made to meetings of the Salvation Army at the same place. He said Com- missioner Truesdell and Maj. Moore had told him to have his meeting and the po- lice weuld not interfere with him. The police were determined, however, and the meeting was abandone: ——__ Marriage Licenses, Marriage licenses have been issued by the clerk of the court to the following: George L.
