Residents in the Neighborhood of the Minor Building Muke a Protest. A large number of property holders in the neighborhood of 17th and Madison streets appeared befere the Commissioners this afterroon and entered a vigorous pro- test against the temporary use of the old Miner building, that has been occupied as the Business High School, for the pupils of the Stevens School, which building is now being repaired.

Saturday night somebody took a horse and wagon belonging to John Ockers- hatsen and drove away with it from the Center market. As the person who drove off thought the wagon was too heavy for a country road, a stop was made, and Mr. Hugh Waters’ buggy and harness were taken. The police were notified, and a re- ward of $25 for the recovery of the buggy and harness was offered. Yesterday the police received the infor- mation that the team had been abandoned in a swamp about one mile from Landover. Detective Carter went out there in the afternoon and recovered the horse trom Mr. ‘Tucker, in whose corn field the animal was found. The bugsy and harness were found at the road house of Magruder & Lewis, but the proprietors of the place re- fused to give them up without being given the reward: ——<$<_—__ HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT. Increased Death Rate the Result of the Hot Wenther. The effects of the extremely warm weather are manifest in the increased death rate during last week. From 103 as reported by the health department week be- fore last the number of deaths increased to 140. This gives a death rate of 26.9 as against the annual normal of 23.05. Dis- eases of the brain (11), heart (10), and diar- rhoeal complaints (82), compose mainly the increase. Nearly one-half of all the mor- tality was of children under ten years of age, 58 of whom were under one year old. From the dangerous contagious ‘maladies there were two fatal cases of diphtheria, one of scarlet fever and one from whoop- ing cough. Four deaths from typhoid fever occurred and two from heat stroke. In other respects the health of the city is favorable for this season of the year, when the “dog star” rages. an “A Kright of the Nets.” The first installment of an interesting, wholesome story, entitled “A Knight of the Nets,” by Amelia E. Barr, will appear in Saturday's Star. The scene is laid in Scot- land among the honest, pure-minded fisher folks, and the story is charmingly told. It will be continued several days next week. pioneer ie Six_weeks ago the private messenger of Col. John Weirs of Mexico was killed by a gang of highwaymen and robbed of $6,000. Seventeen have been convicted and shot. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Exciting Row in Rosslyn Over a Game of Crap. “Red Bill” and His Brother Hold @ Crowd at Bay — Arrested on the Aqueduct by District Officers, Rosslyn was in a wild state of excitement yesterday evening about 7 o'clock. A row started at a crap game between John Jack- son, alias “Red Bill,” Georgetown’s notor- ious citizen, his brother Richard, and a man named Johnson. The brothers at- tacked the latter, and the crowd took up the fight. Pistols were fired, threats made and slugging indulged in. Between forty and fifty men were against the Jacksons, They each had a pistol and razor, however, and managed to keep the crowd off. They were followed, though, in the hope of a safe opportunity presenting itself. In spite of their weapons, the Jacksons gradually re- treated toward the bridge, their faces turned to the mob. The Jacksons, it is said, had taken advantege of Johnson, and the crowd wanted to retaliate. Knowing the dangerous character of their men, though, discretion was exercised. The Jacksons were loaded with determination, and a too near approach would, in ali probability, have meant death for two or three, at least. Witnesses of the affair say the spectacle of the men at bay with the revengeful crowd of whites and blacks facing them was a thrilling sight. Finally the Jacksons reached and backed upon the Aqueduct bridge. Then the Georgetown policemen who had been waiting in the wings came forth and played their parts, arresting the two Jackson boys. . The crowd stayed’on Virginia soll. Of- ficers Passan and Trussell brought the Jacksons to the station. They were charged with carrying concealed weapons. Johnson was not taken in, as he remained within the Virginia jurisdiction. In addition to this, he was looked upon as a victim, not an_offender. Thé noise made by the mob came in vol- ume across the river, and caused much at- tention on this side. She Was Not Arrested. In the Georgetown news Monday fn reporting the dfficulty between the Ford and Pasco families it was stated that Mrs. Ford was arrested on complaint of the Pascos. This statement was an er- ror, as Mrs. Ford was not arrested. She appeared as a complainant against one of the Pascos. liip Broken by a Fall. Mr. William Mulligan, an aged carpenter, fell from a coal shed this morning in the rear of 1265 32d street and broke his hip. The unfortunate man was at work when the accident happened. He was taken to the Emergency Hospital. Fought in the Patrol Wagon. Frank Hickey, Harry Burke, Thomas Burns and John Williams, “Foggy Bot- tom” people, were arrested yesterday for disorderly conduct in Libbey’s lumber yard. Sergeant Volkman and Officer Smith took them in. On the way to the station the fellows got to fighting in the patrol. Of- ficer Conlon jumped in and helped to quiet them. A Demented Woman Cared For. Adeline Maynard, a demented colored woman, was found yesterday wandering near the Girls’ Reform School. She could give no account of herself and exhibited urmistakable signs of dementia.
