Donnelly claimed that the old soldier was smoking, and when ke spoke to him about it they had the trouble. Dixon was struck in the mouth by Don- nelly, and he showed the cut made by the latter’s fist. Judge Mills thought that the assault was entirely uncalled for, and he failed to see wherein Donnelly was at all justified in striking the blow. He was held guilty, and a sentence of $20 or sixty days was impos- ed. The fine was paid. =e AMUSEMENTS. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Mike Leon- ard, better known as the “Beau Brummel” of the prize ring, will be seen at Kernan’s Lyceum next week, in conjunction with Geo. W. Turner’s Vaudeville Company.

In fact, there is seldom an attraction comes to Washington with so many real features in its make-up.

The costuming will be elaborate, and it is expected by members of the theatrical profession that “Helena” will be one of the great successes of the ensuing season. Mr. Downing and his company of twenty-two people have been busily engaged rehearsing at the Grand Opera House during the past week, andsto use his own words “‘the play reads strongly, rehearses magnificently, and I think wher it is acted with all of the neces- sary paraphernalia and accessories, that it will prove to be one of the grandest plays ever produced in this country.” Mr. Down- ing’s company this season is a remarkably strong one, and is led, of course, by Eu- genie Blair (Mrs. Robert Downing), who will be seen as ‘‘Helena,” the strongest and most dramatic part that she has ever at- tempted. It is believed that she will make a great success of it. The other members of the company are Edwin Ferry, Chas. Collins, J. R. Amory, I. H. Kolker, Alva McKenzie, Walter Burton, Geo.

ANOTHER DOG CASE Judge Scott Sentences Him to Be Killed for Biting a Little Girl. Other Cases That Were Brought to the Attention of the-Police Court This Morning. This morning’s “Black Maria” list showed a total of only fourteen prisoners for trial in the Police Court, but after the list had been made several victims were brought in and three jail prisoners were brought up, so that Keeper Madigan had a score of prisoners in custody. There were several females in Judge Scott’s procession, and there were also several of them in the au- dience of spectators. In the audience, as well as inside the counsel rail, were the regular guests, who, by reason of long possession, think they own the seats they occupy every day. When court convened the first case called Involved the character of Frank Koppel's dog. It was alleged that the dog is of a dangerous and quarrelsome disposition and that it was allowed to run at large. “Not guilty,” answered the owner, when arraigned. Gertie Erder, an interesting child not more than seven years old, appeared on the stand and exhibited an ugly scar on her arm that was made by the Spits dog of Mr. Koppel. “Did my girl have the dog secured by a chain?” Mr. Koppel wanted to know. “Yes, sir,” was her reply. “And were you not playing ‘sick ‘em’ when the dog bit you?” “No, sir.” The little child said that the dog knocked her down and bit her about the legs, as well as on her arm. One of the defendant's neighbors appear- ed, and said he had asked Mr. Koppel to keep the dog chained ever since the child was so badly treated, but he refused to ecmply with the request. Mrs. Erder, mother of the child, was next heard from.’ She told of the struggle the chiid nad with the dog, and said her child's face would have been badly disfigured had it rot been for the timely arrival of a col- ored man. Mr. Keppel thought his canine was not a dangerous one, and said that the chil- dren in the neighborhood had been in the hatit of playing with it. Since the child was injured, Mr. Koppel said, he had kept the dog muzzled. “In the county where'I lived,” said Judge Scctt, ‘a good dog was highly prized, but when one of them bit a person death to the doz was certain. One child, in my cpinion, is worth all the dogs in the world, no matter how good they are. In this city the District Commissioners seem to have the idea of the people of my county, and the crder of the court is that the animal be killed.” Some Bad Language Used. Mary Tinckens and Lizzie Johnson, South Washington colored women, were in court charged by two other women with having Gisturbed the quiet of Van street. Prof. Langstcn represented the prison- ers. On behalf of the prosecution the women used the filthiest language ever heard in court, and it ceme out in the tes- timony that a man afd three children being talked about caused alll the trouble. “Two old ladies was talking about ‘ligion,”” said one of the; prisoners, “and so far as we were conaerned, none of this bad language was used."" One of the old colored women corrobo- rated what the defendants said, and the case was dismissed. “This girl parades the street at all hours,” said Policeman Maher, when Laura Johnson appeared. ‘When did you arrest hen?” “About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoo “Judge, your honor,» said the woman, “this policeman knows I work at the Chinese laundry on Dumbarton street, be- cause he has seen me there. I’ve left my mother because I and her didn't agree.” “Have you any children?” the court asked. “Yes, sir,” she answered, “I have one, and Tom Booker, its father, takes care of him." “Ten day Trouble Over Children. Maggie Sullivan, a neatly dressed little woman from the county, was complained against for alleged disorderly conduct on Reck Creek Church road. Patsy Edwards, a big colored woman, sppeared as the complainant. This trouble started with a row between children and the women at their back gates took up the quarrel. Mrs. Edwards charged that Mrs. Sullivan used prcfanity. “I have five children, and she’s got six,” started with a row between children, and ell small. Mrs. Edwards has several dogs and they annoy my children. One day last week her boy hit my boy with a whip and blooded his nese.” Mrs. Sullivan recited a lengthy chapter of troubles between the children and said that she was going to move out of the neighborhood. Mrs. Klotz, an elderly woman, who lives in the neighborhood, told the court that the colored woman's children were very an- noying. Mrs. taken. Still another neighborhood row was dis- cussed when Mary Kent, colored, appear- ed on a charge of having used vulgar language, and the language stated to the judge was even wcrse than that in the other cases. Mary made a denial and told the court that there was a conversation about church. “Take her personal bonds,” sald the court to the clerk, and to the woman the judge said: “Go home and live without get- ting in trouble.” Fred. Pinkney, a colcred man, was en- joying a nap on a bench in Stanton Square last night, when Policeman Williams came along and aroused him. “And,” said the policeman, “‘here’s what I found on him.” The officer exhibited a large bunch of keys, several iron rings and a can opener, and told the court that several houses on Capitol Hill had been entered recently. “What have you to say?” the prisoner was asked. ‘Nothing,” was his response. ‘I_ should judge not,” the court remarked. “Fifty dollars bond or twenty day: John Gray, William Taylor and Walter Robinson, colored boys, were in court as alleged youthful gamblers. “They were playing crap,” sald a colored man, “and they sometimes play checkers as a police blind.” “I told the man we could not make a case on them for playing checkers,” said Policeman Harrover, “because we play checkers in the station house.” The court heard the explanations of the boys and fined Robinson $3. His com- panions were acquitted. —— Rescue Mission ‘Work.

A Rise in the Price of Eger With Slow Demand for Butt: Perhaps the most noticeable feature of the wholesale produce market today is a rise in the price of eggs. This article is running exceptionally poor, the condition showing the effect of heat. The general domand for butter is slow, but there ts no disposition to shave prices. The general receipts are poor, an acid flavor being in evidence, due undoubtedly to burnt grass. The demand is somewhat irregular and is corfined mostly to immediate wants. There is a good demand for a fair supply of poul- try, and in the way of fruit peaches are plentiful and meet with ready sale. The vegetable market is growing steadier, with @ slight advance in prices for select steck, while live stock is in good demand. Butter today is quoted as follows: Fancy Elgin, creamery extras, 221% to 23 cents a pcund; choice, 20 to 21; firsts, 18; seconds, 16; baker’s choice stock, 12% to 14; fancy half-pound square print, 25,-and four-leaf clover, 27.
