The president of the regular organization is Mr. Ralph Wormley, but as he bolted four years ago the vice president of the association, Dr. Gaines, claims that he has the authority to call the convention for the selection of delegates. ——>- PRINTERS’ EXAMI ATION.

They were candidates for the second ordeal preliminary to getting jobs in the government printing office. There were 102 applicants examined for the position cf compositor, 12 for that of press- man, 6 for bookbinders and 1 each for Stereotyper and electrctyper.

ITHE Most of the Charges Were Vagrancy, Disorderly Conduct and Drunken- ness—Disponed to Be Lenient. Two colored girls were the only females in Judge Scott's procession this morning, but the police told of others who ought to have marched with them. When the pro- cession moved mto court George Johnson and John Harris, South Washington col- ored citizens, were in the lead, and the charge against them was disorderly con- @uct. In this case the flying horses played an important part, the first of the disturb- ance having occurred near them. “There was a white man on a street car,” said Policeman Herbert, “and a crowd of twenty or thirty colored men were running after the vehicle, some of them shouting ‘Kill him,’ while others said ‘Cut his throat.’ ‘These were the only men arrested.” “Were these men disordely or profane?” Judge Scott asked. “I can’t say that they were profane,” the officer answered, “but they were in the crowd.” Policeman Smith was near the flying horses when the trouble started, and he had to protect the white man from the crowd of colored people about the horses. “This white man,” he said, “flirted with a colored girl and that was why the colored men were after him.” Seeing there was about to be trouble, the officer escorted him to the street car. The erewd followed and would probably have mobbed the man had not the police protect- ed him. “They arrested the wrong’ me! said Jchnson. “I had nothing todo with the trouble, but was just on my way home from work. When I met two colored girls I stopped them and asked for information. “Where do you work?” the court asked. “In the market.” “Had you been over near the flying herses?’ “No, sir.” John Harris made a similar statement. He, too, had just stopped work and was on his way home. “Can there pe any mistake about these men?” the court asked. “None whatever,” responied one of the off.cers. “Some of these disorderly girls ought to have been arrested,” remarked the court, “but as the men are here I'll have to fine them.” ‘They were assessed $2 each. Fined for Begging. A tall, rough-looking man, with a bril- Uantly colored nose, was next in line, and his name was given as Edward Jones. This man’s appearance and conduct indicated that he was a stranger in the city, and his arrest was made because of his suspicious conduct. “He was begging,” said a witnéss, “and when refusel he followed me.” Jones had visited several houses and asked for alms, and his conduct was such that complaint was made and the arrest followed. Judge Scott heard the statement of the prisoner and gave him thirty days on the farm. Henry Hardy, an old mam, who took some liquid refreshments last ‘evening because of the hot weather, appeared next in line and sald guilty to a charge of having used the sidewalk for lodging purposes. Five dollars or fifteen days was the court’s sen- tence. “Guilty,” was the plea of an aged man named Frank Donohoe, when asked whether or not he was disorderly near Benning yes- terds “I would like to make a statement,” said Policeman Bob Dyer, who ts detailed in the county, - “What Is it?” ‘Donohoe is a farmer,” the officer sai ‘and when he gcts drunk he is v troublesome. Night before last he was ar- rested, amd instead of appearing in ccurt yesterday he returned te Benning and was again disorderly. On agcoynt of his condl- tion he was locked up. ‘Was he, drunk?” es, judge,” interrupted Donohoe; “I was still drunk or I would not have been disorderly.” re you sober now?” Mr. Kichard B. Norment, an aged citizen, who is well-known and highiy respected, was in court on a charge of trespassing on Rawlings Square. Last evening Mr. Norment was out walking, and when h@ reached the park, where, he says, there fs no grass, he hung his coat and hat on the branch of a tree. Then, he sat on one of the lower Iimbs of the tree and was there wken the two po- Hcemen appeared. ‘ They spoke to Mr. Norment about his sitting in the tree, but he thought"he was violating no law. Some words passed be- tween them and Mr. Norment was arrest- ed. Judge Scott held that there was a tech- nical violation of iaw and took Mr. Nor- ment’s personal bonds. “What is the charge against this wo- man?" inquired Lawyer Moss when a col- ored girl named Annie Williams was call- ‘The usual charg ed. ” replied Mr. Pugh. nd what's that?’ ‘agrancy, of cours‘ “Now, your honor,” said Mr. Moss, “I want Mr. Pugh to take that back.” “Take what back?’ asked Mr. Pugh. “Take back nothing. I not only will not take it back, but I'll say that she’s as complete a vagrant as ever appeared in this court. She’s been arrested a dozen times.” “I never was arrested before in my life,” said the girl. ‘Were you ever in court before?” No, sir.’ “I saw her stop a man and talk to him,” said Ofticer Mohl. “Did you ever see her before?” “Yes, sir." What was she doing then? he had a beer growler.”” ‘What's that?” bucket of beer.” ‘There's nothing in this case,” said the judge, “the charge has not been sustain- ed, but I'll take her personal bonds.”" Branch Wright was in the procession, on the usual charge, habitual drunkenness. “And,” said Mr. Pugh, “he is as com- plete an habitual drunkard as ever ap- peared in a court. He's been here a thou- sand times.” Wright is a printer, and he was only released from the workhouse yesterday. “And I spent seventy-six days there,” added Wright. “The only thing I know to do with this man is to give him six months twice a year,” Mr. Pugh added. “He may have thirty days this time,” remarked the judge. “Won't, your honor let me off with fif- teen days?” asked theprisoner. “If you do I'll promise never ta drink again.”” “And you have made that promise every time you have been in court,” said Mr. Pugh. Had No Burial Permit. Jacob Moore, an old colored man who owns and manages Moore's cemetery, was in court on a charge of burying a still-born infant without Laving a permit. His explanation was that he was given a paper he thought was a. permit, but he cannot read. ‘The old man has been: bunying people for thirty years and this 4s the first time he has been in trouble. Two women appeared) and gave evidence showing that the old mam acted in good faith. The paper he thought was a per- mit was a death certificate issued by the physician to the poor. Judge Scott thought the old man had been in business long enough to know the difference between a certificate and a per- mit and fined him $25, which he paid. ——. 85.00 Weekly Senshore Excur- $5.00 sions via Pennsylvania Railroad.

The Fast Frederick Express on thé] Approaching General Council of the B. and O. Meets With a Mishap. There was 4 harrow escape from se- rious accident shortly after 8 o'clock this merning on the Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio at Terra Cotta. The Frederick express, which arrives in this city at 8:30, bringing a big crowd of the clerks and others who reside at the more important stations along the line, was passing Terra Cotta at a high rate of speed, when there was suddenly a crash of breaking glass in the forward ladies’ ear, back of the smoker, and in the rear car of the train. Several windows were Smashed in and the flying fragments of glass cut several passengers about their heads and hands. Fortunately, none were badly injured." When the train reached Washington an examination of the middle and rear cars showed that some heavy body had struck their sides, tearing off the batting around many of the windows and smashing a number of the latter. It was thought that the edge of a freight car on the switch at Terra Cotta had done the damage. Had the obstruction, whatever it was, extended an inch or two further on the passenger track the results could not have failed to have been serious. An in- vestigation is now under way by the B. and O. officials. —__—.__. SUCCEEDED BY JUSTICE BROWN. Action of the Washington Monument Society on Justice Strong's Death.

The coroner’s jury which investtgated the killing of David Woody, alleged to have been murdered Tuesday night in house 1752 K street northwest, yesterday after- noon returned a verdict to the effect that death was due to heart disease, aggravated by a fist fight or scuffle with Augustus Joknson. The latter was exonerated and discharged from custody. After The Star's report of the inquest closed several witnesses were examined, the mest important being Deputy Coroner Glazebrook, who made the autopsy on the body of the deceased. Dr. Glazebrook de- clared that the heart of Woody was dis- eased, and that the least exertion vr ex- citement might have caused death. The prisoner also made a statement, claiming that he was the aggrieved party.
