Donnelly, who has charge of part of the building, was accused of having assaulted George Dixon, an old soldier. The old soldier explained that he went in the toilet room at the mission, and on ac- count of the darkness he lighted a match to see his way. Donnelly claimed that the old soldier was smoking, and when he 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 tor, and he failed to see wherein Donnelly was at all justified in striking the blow. He was held guilty, and @ sentence of $20 or sixty days was impos- ed. The fine was paid. —.___- 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.

Mr. Downing and his company of twenty-two people have been busily engaged rehearsing at the Grand Opera House during the past week, and to use his own words “the play reads strongly, rehearses magnificently, and I think when it Js acted with all of the neces- sary paraphernalia and accessories, that it will prove to be one of the grand 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.

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 Tats Morning. Thy 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 jatt 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 severalef them in the au- dience of spectatorsi Im the audience, as weil as inside the eoursel rail, were the regular guests, whe, by reason of long Possession, think they own the seats they oceupy 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 zinteresting child not More than seven -years old, appeared on the stand and exhibited an ugly scar on her arm that was made by the Spitz 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 ccmply with the request. Mrs. Erder, mother of the child, was next heard from. She told of the struggle the child 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@ dargerous 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 erder of the court is that the animal be killed.”” Some Bud 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 came out in the tes- timony that 2 man and three children being talked about caused all the trouble. “Tw old ladies was talking about ‘ligion,”” said one of the prisoners, “and so far as we were concerned, none of this bad language was used.” One of the old colored women corrobo- vated 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 her?” “About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.” + “Judge, your honor,” said the woman, ‘this policeman knows I work at the 4Chinese 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 isked. “Yes, sir,” she answered. “I haye one, and 2 ‘Tom Booker, its father, takes, care of i ten days.” Troeble- Over Children.- Maggie Suilivan, a neatly dressed little woman from the county, was complained against for alleged @isorderly conduct on Reck Creek Church poad. Patsy Edwards, a: big colored woman, sppeared as the complainant. This trouble started with a row dbetween children and the women at their back. gates took up the quarrel. Mrs. Edwards charged that Mrs. Sullivan used prcfenity. “I have five children, and she’s got six,” started with a row between children, and all 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 nose.” 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. Sullivan's personal 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. eZ Mary made a denial and told the court that there was a conversation about church. “Take her personal bonds,” said the court to the clerk, and to the woman the judge said: “Go home and live without get- ting in troub! Fred. Pinkney, a colored man, was en- joying a nap ona 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 days.” John Gray, William Taylor and Walter Robinson, colored boys, were in court as alleged ycuthful gamblers, “They were playing crap,” said 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.

For cheese, large full cream is selling at 10 cents a pound; flats, 10%, and ponies, 11. The quotations for eggs are: Fresh near- by stock, 14% to 15 cents a dozen; keat or guinea, 6. Large live spring chickens bring from 11 to 12 cents a pound; live old fowls, 9; live spring ducks, 8 to 9, and live geese, 4 to 5.
