Just before daylight yesterday morning a double log house near Arlington, Tenn., oc- cupied by Mrs. Callie Harrel, her two grown daughters and a son, was burned to the ground, and Mrs. Harrel and the girls perished in the flames. The son, who occu- pied a room in the rear of the building, barely escaped with his life. It is thought the women were drugged before the fire was set, as log houses burn very slowly, and they should have wakened up in time to escape. Their bodies were burned to a crisp. Just an Imitation Bull Fight. Governor McIntyre of Colorado has writ- ten to Cripple Creek for official information regarding the advertised bull fight. Sec- retary Thompson of the Humane Society received a letter from the agent of the scciety at Colorado Springs, stating that the managers of the fight have announced that no cruelty to the bulls would be in- dulged in.

There was a fire at 3273 Prospect ave- nue last night, caused through a lamp ex- plosion. Some considerable excitement was generated through it, but not much dum- age. The fire department responded quick- ly, but it was not deemed necessary to turn the water. The men fought the flames with buckets of water-and chemical ma- chines until their extinguishment took place. Two Sides to the Case. Lucy Gibson was brought to the station yesterday on a charge of incorrigibility. Her mother, Helen Wood, alleged that the girl ran away frequently, and was an all- around bad daughter. The girl claims, however, that she has been sinned against— beaten unmercifully and driven from home. ‘The last time she was driven away she re- fused to return. Hence the charge. In the e Court today Judge Mills, after hear- ing the e, saw no reason why the girl should be held, and she was discharged. An Interesting Old Document. That the fathers of Georgetown—thuse who were the largest land‘owners, most in- terested in the development of the place, ard, to the present generation, apparently roiling in wealth—did not always walk on velvet carpet is evidenced by an old war- ra that has just been discovered among the eifects of the late Henry Trunnell, for able here. addressed to the on the Sth day of J by the judgment of J.

Weaver's Forecast. WACO, Tex., August 17.—Gen. Weaver, who spoke before the porulists, in an in- terview with the Associated Press repre- sentative yesterday, said the cause of free silver was rapid!y gaining ground, and that both parties were being materially weakened. He says, in his opinion, Wil- liam C. Whitney ill be the democratic nominee for President, though Cleveland may develop some strength, while the re- publicans are for Harrison, Morton, Alli- son and McKinley in the order named. He thought Harrison wouid receive the nomination and there was no room for two republicans, and the social democratic party was doomed. He believed Senator Sherman's speech at the Zanesville con- yention would be the outline of the plat- form of the republican national platform. Ex-Gov. Waite will speak today. ————__ A Contract to Build a Brewery.

An enjoyable pause was the singing on the car return- Me - The judges THE WRIT DENIED John Dugan Remanded to the Jurisdic- tion of the Police Oourt. Must Stand Trial for Cruelty to a Horse in Driving Him Until Exhausted. The petition of John Dugan for a writ of habeas corpus was dismissed today by Judge Cole and the petitioner remanded to the custody of the Police Court officials. Mr. Dugan was arrested several weeks ago by Humane Officer Rabbit on a charge of overdriving a horse at the Brightwood race track, it being learned that the animal ‘as driven until thoroughly exhausted and not permitted to rest even when in that condition. The arrest was made under an act of the legislative assembly of Au- gust, 1871. Mr. Dugan then petitioned for a writ of babeas corpus, his counsel, Mr. Andrew Lipscomb, contending that the act of the assembly was void, on the ground that it permitted an unreasonable punishment to be inflicted—imprisonment in jail not ex- ceeding one year or a fine not in excess of $250, in default of which imprisonment for an additional year could be imposed. Thus, according to Mr. Lipscomb, a person could be imprisoned for two years for over- driving a horse, should the law be de- clared valid. Judge Cole’s Decision. Judge Cole said that the contention that Congress did not confer general legislative power on the assembly was sustained by the Supreme Court of the United States, but the question in the matter under con- sideration was whether the specific ordi- nance concerning cruelty to animals is within the scope of the regulations of authority, and the court ruled that it was. In regard to the contention that the leg- islative body transcended its authority by giving the courts power to make a heavy sentence of penalty for violation of the ordinance if the courts saw proper to do so, Judge Cole admitted the existence of high authorities wHo say that assemblies cannot make such sliding scaies of penal- ties, but he declared the answer to the contention to be identical to the similar question that was presented in the recent case of W. Kesley Schoepf of the Ecking- ton and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company. Judge Cole went on to say that in every instance where the judicial decision has been that the penalty for the commission of at. offense must be regulated by the municipal council, and not by the courts, is where the charter establishing the muni- cipal corporation has expressly provided that such shall be done. Power of the Police Court. Congress created the Police Court a year previocs to the passage of the act under which Mr. Dugen was arrested, continued Judge Cole. Provisioa was made that the Police Court judge must be learned in the law. He is, therefore, supposed to possess legal discretion and be thoroughly competent to consider the matters falling within his jurisdiction. But, in addition, an act of Congress, passed June 25, 1890, confirmed the act of 1871. The third section of the act of 189 amends ‘the twelfth section of the act of 1871, and proves conclusively that the Police Court has jurisdiction in the matter at issue, and that the act is valid. Regarding the allegation that the penalty is in excess of the authority of the Police Court, Judge Cole remarked that in the Shea case, carried to the District Supreme Court, it was ruled that if the Police Court imposes a penalty in excess of that per- mitted by law, the penalty is valid in so far as the maximum limit of the law reaches and no further. Judge Cole went on to say that it was not for him to determine whether or not the Police Court judge should Impriscn for more than one year, as that question can be brought up on a petition for writ of habeas corpus, after trial, conviction end sentence, if such should be the case. The Writ Denied. “I think the Police Court has authority to try the case,” said Judge Cole, “and the petitioner is therefore remanded to the custody of the officials thereof.” Notice of an appeal was given by At- torney Lipscomb, Mr. Dugan’s bail being continued in the sum of $500, with Wash- ington Nailor as surety. NO HOPE FOR THE IRISH. Dillon and Redmond’s Amendments to the Queen’s Speech Rejected. Mr. Lough (liberal) resumed the debate in the British house of commons yesterday cn Mr. Dillon's motion for an amendment to the address in reply to the queen's speech declaring the necessity of immediate legislation on the land question in Ireland, in accordance with the recommendations of last year’s committee. Mr. Dillon’s amendment was finally de- feated by a vote of 257 to 123, and John Redmond’s amendment, cailing upon the government to declare its policy in regard to hone rule, the reform of the land law, the compulsory purchase of land, evicted tenants and the industrial condition of renee was rejected by a vote of 243 to John J. Clancy (Parnellite) moved an smexdment in favor of reconsidering the sentences of the Irish political prisoners.

Sanitary Officer Frank this afternoon sent to the hospital a man named Emanuel ‘Thomas, on whose application, two days ago, a libel against the four-masted schoon- er Charles E. Ames, Capt. Chas. Otis, was issued. Thomas claims that he shipped on the boat at Boston July 23, and he came here with the vessel, laden with ice. He shipped. so he alleges, as steward and cook, and when at sea he was taken sick. Al- though sick, he continued to work, and when he reached here and wanted to leave the boat, he charges, the captain refused to pay him $30 due him. Lawyer Kuhn instituted proceedings against the boat, and the marshal's officers served the writ. Capt. Otis will probably make his return Monday. Dr. Neale, who examined the young man Thomas, said he was in need of medical treatment. —<—<—__ An Alexandria Boy’s Good Luck.
