Colquitt, son of the Georgia Senator, was aroused by hearing the smashing of a large Pane of glass at his basement door, at his house, No. 310 North Carolina avenue, and @ policeman was in the neighborhood at the time. When both Mr. Colquitt and the officer made an investigation they found a man named Albert Kendrick near the door where the glass had been broken. He de- nied that he had done the damage, but there was no one else there to have done it, and he was arrested. When the prisoner reached the Police Court this morning he was charged under the vagrancy act with being a suspicious person. He repeated his denial of the charge, which availed him ncthing, for Judge Kim- ball gav2 him ninety days on the farm, in Gefault of security. —————— Two Suspicious Persons. William B. Edmonston, who says he lives near Leesburg, and Harvey Wain- Wright, a boy from Richmond, were given a hearing in the Police Court this after- Noon as suspicious persons. They were found loitering about Pennsylvania ave- Rue and 3d street southeast last evening and Policeman Ryan arrested them on complaint of a merchant. Edmonston, who pally a month on the farm for his al- ged questionable cgnduct nearly a year fo, was sent down for fifteen days, while jie Richmond boy was released to leave e city. >—.

GARBAGE CONTRACT How It is Proposed to Dispose of the Questions at Issue. CHOOSING THE INCINERATING SYSTEMS Contractor to Obtain Proposals From the Furnace Man. AN EARLY SETTLEMENT Gradually the garbage tangle is unravel- ing itself. Before another week rolls away it is believed citizens will have reason to felicitate themselves upon the final settle- ment of the matter. During the- past week the greatest re- erecy kas been maintained by those inter- ested, and little information has been given out concerning the exact status of the case. After the Commissioners obtained Mr. Warfleld’s signature to the five-year gar- bage centract, they agreed, upon the earn- est solicitation of the contractor, to recon- sider their previous action specifying the system of crematicn to be used. This was done (as has heretofore been stated in The Star) to relieve the contractor of any em- barrassment which might arise if the Com- missioners insisted upon a specific system. It was argued that the representatives of such a system, knowing that their system must he used, would boost the price and compel the contractor to come to terms. The Commissioners, as stated above, agreed to reconsider, and gave notice to that effect. Those familiar with the situa- tion, however, believe that the Commission- ers are very decided in their preference for the Smith system. It was only after a per- sonal examination of the workings of the plants in several cities, which was supple- mented ty a report of the health officer and reports from the city officials, that they decided the matter. So it is presumed that they will not go back on their first action, and that the contractor will be obliged to use the Smith system for one. As far as the other system is concerned— that Is, the plant which they allow the contractor to select—the Commissioners are willing to approve the Brown system. As far as the Dixon crematory is concerned, they have already expressed themselves as opposed to its introduction in Washington, believing that it cannot, as now construct- ed, do the work. As one of the Commis- =—— recently said to a reporter of The iter: “The Dixon system, as at present con- structed,’ {s not at all suitable for Wash- ington. The Commissioners will not allow its introduction here, unless it is materially changed and its efficacy proved.” The Position of the Contractor. So it would seem from this statement (which is understcod to be the opinion of the board of Commissioners) that this sys- tem has no chance in the present fight. Now, it was authoritatively, stated today that the contractor had given the subject careful consideration durirg the past week, and that his position was simply this: ‘With a full knowledge of what the Com- missioners wanted, and for the purpose of safely intrenchingyhimself against possible loss, he had asked the representatives of the Smith and the Brown and the Dixon crematories to submit propositions, stating specifically what they would guarantee in the way of destroying the garbage, how lorg it would take them to erect a plant, what the cost would be, and what kind of a@ bond they would furnish indemnifying him against loss, either from infringement suits or municipal interference in the event the plant did not properly perform its functions. These several propositions have been submitted, and Mr. Henry E. Davis, who represents the contractor, has care- fully gone over them, inserting where it Was necessary certain stipulations for the benefit of the contractor. Now, all of these amended propositions have been put in shape and sent to Baltimore, that Mr. Ed- win Warfield and the other gentlemen di- rectly interested in the contract might ex- amine them. They will likely be returned today, and the representatives of the sev- eral systems called upon to sign an ee- ment, binding themselves to furnish the plant at a specified price, upon the condi- tion that the Commissioners approve their system. When this is done Mr. Warfield will repair to the District building, lay the matter before the Commissioners and ask them to designate which of the three sys- tems they desire erected. The Commission- ers will choose the Smith and Brown cre- matories. There is little doubt on that score. They have already declared their preference for the Smith plant, and the contractor has stated publicly that he wanted the Brown s; m. After the Com- missioners have formally passed upon this proposition the contracts between the con- tractor and the men of “systems” will be finally closed, and preparations begun for the erection of the plants. The South Capitol Street Site, It ig authoritatively stated that the South Capitol street site (the location of the old reduction plant) will be first built upon. ‘That is, of course, contingent upon the out- come of the vigorous fight the residents and property owners in that neighborhood are going to make against the erection of the plant in that section. They express themselves as determined to suffer no longer at the hands of the authorities, and will go into court before submitting to the erection of a garbage crematory in their midst. One of the interested citizens, who, by the way, is a large property holder, said to a Star reporter, discussing the situation: ‘It seems unjust that the Commissioners should again thrust a nuisance upon us. We have had enough garbage. For months we suffered from that old reduction plant until Providence was kind enough to inter- fere and destroyed it by fire. Why not give some other section of the city a chance at it? We have no rows of brown-stone houses down there, it ig true, but we live there, own our property ard pry taxes in the same proportion as those in the wealthier sections. It’s no use to say that there will be no nuisance. How would you like to sit on your front porch these beautiful evenings and witness the endless procession of foul-smelling garbage carts passing your door? These garbage plants are not intend- ed for cities. Put them in the suburbs, where there can be no complaint.” ——~——— Small Fire. Last night about 11 o’clock an alarm of fire was turned in from box 415 for fire in rear of Geo. N. Campbell’s house, No. 500 K street southwest. Two carriages were de- stroyed. The damage amounted to about $800, and the property was not insured. —— Robert Hoy Acquitted. The case of Robert Hoy, the hotel keeper, charged with having used profanity at the base ball park two days ago, as published 1p yesterday’s Star, was tried in the Police Court today. James O’Day, who was once 2 special policeman, made the complaint, but his testimony was not substantiated. Lawyer Clark, who appeared for the de- fendant, witnessed the arrest, and told the court that he did not hear any profane language used. The charge was dismissed.

One of the main objects of the assuciation is to secure uniformity and acenra:y in the methcda and statements of analyses re- lating to fertilizers, soils, cattle foods and dairy products. The association was con- vened yesterday. being called to order by H. A. Huston, the president. Other officers present were B. B. Ross, vice president; H. W. Wiley, secretary. Secretary Morton was present and spoke with enthusiasm on the future of agriculture and the great need for the higher education in special lines of agriculturists. A paper was read on soil analysis by A. M. Peter of Lexing- ton, Ky.; on the subject of potash in fer- tilizers by H. J. Wheeler of Rhode Island, and on “Food and Feed Stuffs” by J. H. Patterson of College Park, Md. ‘The program of proceedings today was as follows: 1. Discussion of soil analyses, led by A. M. Peter of Kentucky. 2. Report on methods of soil analyses by B. W. Kilgore of North Carolina. 3. Report of committee on abstracts of papers relating to agricultural analyses. 4. Report on fermented and diluted liquors by W. D. Bigelow of Washington. 5. Report on methods of nitrogen analyses by J. M. Bartlett of Maine. Members Al Tagged. |. A unique feature of the meeting of the association is a method for the identifica- tion of members introduced by Professor Wiley, the secretary. In past meetjngs much difficulty has been experienced in the iden- tifleation of speakers, which was important, especially as a verbatim report of the pro- ceedings is taken. Every member of the association is known to every othcr mem- ber by reputation, though, as they are lo- cated In various parts of the country, there is little opportunity for them to get to know one another personally. To over- come this difficulty Professor Wiley has the names of all the members written on a blackboard and numbered, and each is pro- vided with a tag bearing a number to cor- respond with that which identifies him on the blackboard, which is placed in plain sight of every one in the hall. This ar- rangement has become wonderfully popu- Isr, and it is said that it is apt to be adopt- ed by conventions generally. ‘The association will be in session again tomorrow. ———_— Work Ordered. The Commissioner today ordered: ‘That cement sidewalks be laid as follows: In front of 225 C street southeast; In the east side of Connecticut avenue for 100 feet north of Florida avenue, and in front of No. 1206 6th street northwest, all-under the provisions of the permit system. ‘That catch basing be constructed at the southeast corner of Whitney and Bright- wood avenues and at the southeast corner of Sheridan and Brightwood avenues, chargeable to the current appropriation for suburban sewers.

That the last installment of water main assessments against lot 6, block 42, Hol- mead sub, be canceled, as requested by owner, and that he be informed that his request for the refundment of the first in- stallment of the tax already paid cannot be granted, as the decision in the Burgdorf case, on account of which the above can- cellation $s made, does not cover the re- fundment of the water main tax which has ‘been paid.

ACTIONS AN ELEVATOR = BOY'S The More Serious Cases Attended To First. A. VOUDOO DOCTOR Judge Kimball is now holding both branches of the Police Court, as Judge Mil- ler is still on his vacation, and this morning court convened earlier than usual. The judge also reversed the regular order and held court upstairs, giving consideration to the more serious cases before hearing ihe minor offenders. When court opened, Clerk Potts called a colored boy narned George Watkins from the dock and arraigned him on a charge of assault. “Not guilty,” he responded, when arraign- ed. “Will you be tried by the he was asked. “The judge will do for me,” he responded. This assault occurred nearly a month ago in the Richmond Flats, where the prisoner was employed as elevator boy, and his vic- tim, Miss Susie Diggs, a young white wo- man, was also employed there. She told the court that on the occasion of the assault she attempted to get in the elevator and the boy pushed her out. She made another effort to get on the car, whereupon he pushed her out and she «t- tempted to spit in his face. “Then he pursued me,” kicked me.” “Where did he kick you?” * “In the stomach.” “Did you have a doctor attend you?” Was in the hospital three weeks.” “What hospital?” “The Emergency.’ Two other employes of the flats gave cor- roborative testimony, and the court heard the prisoner’s statement. “She wanted to get in the elevator dur- ing lunch hour,” said the boy, “and I want- ed to keep her out. There were two other ladies in there and I was going to put them out, too.”” He told the judge that when he put Miss Diggs out the second time she attempted to spit in his face. “And,” he said, “I kicked her, but did not intend to hurt her, as it was done in fun.” “What kind of fun do you call that?” The prisoner made no response. Dr. Smith of the Emergency Hospital was called, but he did not respond, as he is out of town. Judge Kimball, in disposing of the case, said that the assault was a serious on and had the girl died the prisoner would have been tried for murder. “The young lady had no right to spit in your face,” the judge said to the prisoner, “and if that had not been done you would get a more severe sentence than I am going to impose. In consideration of this, I am sping to make your senténce only ninety lays.”” judge or jury?” she said, “and A Bad Guexs. Hattie Sears, a colored girl,, who went out looking for a fight yesterday, did not make a good guess at the sentence Judge Kimball would impose. She said she would beat Blanche Wilson and go down for fifteen days. “I'm tired of having you slur me,” said Hattie, “and I'm going to beat you and give myself up. I can’t get but fifteen days, and while I am in the workhouse you will be in the hospital.” “What did I say about you?” the Wilson girl asked her. “You slurred me, and that’s enough,” was Hattie’s response: And then she kept her word about the beating. “What have you to say?” the court asked the poaer “Nothing,” she answered. “I hit her, and that’s all there is about it.” “Thirty days.” Green-Eyed Monster.

The green-eyed monster figured very largely in the case, and the trouble arose over the fact that Mrs. Slaughter had bearded Shears, and her husband wanted to get rid of him. “He had been boarding with my wife,” said the defendant, “and when I went home and ordered him to leave he became trou- blegome and wanted to fight. “And I told him”—started the defendant. “Never mind what you told him,” inter- rupted the judge. ‘Tell me what he did to yo “He hit me with a brick.” here did he strike you?” in the side. “Hurt you “I should say so, and I had to go to the *spensary.”” ‘The young man who boarded at the house made his statement. He sald he had only delivered a message, and the husband got mad with him. They had some trouble, and then he went away. Mrs. Shears made a statement of the case, end the boarder was fined $10 or thir- ty days. Rickard Ford and Carrie Powell, colored, who had been on friendly terms for sev- eral years, appeared to have the court set- tle their troubles. “When he met me on the street the other day,” said the girl, “he wanted to know where I had been, and I told him at my service place. He said he knew better, and assaulted me.” “Heve you been living together?” the judge asked. “No, sir,” she answered. “Then what right did he have to ques- tion you?” “None whatever.” Dick was unable to show what right he had to call the girl to account, and no ex- evee for his assault could be offered. “The next time you havs a quarrel with @ woman,” said the court, ‘you had better not strike her. Thirty days.’ a Did Not Do It. George Dean, a big, able-bodied colored man, who got on “‘cross-questions” with his better half, threatened to “bus her hade open with a flatiron. . “Did he do it?” Johanna Dean, the wife, was asked. “No, sir.” Vhat was all this trouble about?” “Separation. We always had trouble when we wanted to separate.” “You had better go home and behave yourselves,” the judge told them, and George was released on his personal bonds. Frances Douglass, a colored woman, and a colored female friend were in line because they had engaged in a fight with Susie Lewis. The trio became engaged in a quarrel, and blows followed. Frances was fined $5 or two weeks. Kemp Washington, a tall colored man, with two small bruises on his forehead and a yard of old rag about his head, com- plained that Waverly Lewis, a relative, had assaulted him. “I was walking through Franklin street,” the old man said, “when I met Waverly Lewis and another man, who were waiting for me.” He said that the men assaulted him and struck him with a stone. “Did you fali to the sidewalk?” he was asked. “Yes, sir.’ “And did not you get these wounds when you fell against the bricks?” Lawyer Car- rington asked. “No, sir.” The attending physician said that both wounds may have been inflicted by the brick pavement. A disinterested witness who was called said that no stone was thrown, but that the old man started to run and fell down. “It was Sunday night when the affair happened,” said the witness, “and I told them that they had better be in church.” Waverly Lewis told the court his version of the affair and denied the assault charged. There was a reasonable doubt in the mind of the judge, and the defendant was dis- charged. District Offenders. This ended the United States procession, and for the first time in months the mixed crowd of District offenders graced the up- per court room, The first case was rep- INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.

They congregate there, curse, swear and sing, and make all kinds of noises. This morning about 2 o'clock we got this crowd.” “What were they doing?” the court asked. “They were singing and were very noisy.”” “Did you hear them cursing?” “I can't say that I heard profanity this morning, but other witnesses did.” Two witnesses who were called told of the profanity and the court heard what the defendants had to say. If they were to be believed most of them were standing in the alley asleep, and the witnesses against them or one of them was drunk. Annie Lewis and Becky Bell, the worst of the lot, were fined $10 each, while the oth- ers were charged half that amount. Voudoo Doctor. Next In line was the “Rev. Dr: W. C. Brooks,” the alleged “‘voudoo doctor,” who had a fit yesterday, and the court heard additional proof in the case. Annie Minor was one of them, and she said the old man told her that another wo- man had changed her luck. He told an- other woman that there was something in her path, and unless it was removed she would be dead in three months. “Were you frightened?” the court asked. “No, sir. “This man,” said the judge, “is onc of the kind who go about and prey upon supersti- tious people.” “He's superstitious himself,” remarked Lawyer Ricks, his counsel. Judge Kimball said that this man be- longed to the class @f persons who victim- ize ignorant people, but this time he did not happen to run across ignorant people. “Step up, doctor,” said Lawyer Ricks. “Don’t call this man doctor,” said the court. He was sentenced to nirety days, in de- fault of security. =~ 2 Policeman Evans told the court that a ycung man named Arthur Hoover, who has teen in Chicago, returned here re- cently, and, thinking he was wanted for something, he arrested him. “This is a case of an arrest on suspicion,” remarked counsel. “Dismissed.” Other Cases. William Jackson, a colored boy, who says his home is in Howard county, Va., was in lire because he was found loitering about 4th street. “T'll leave here today if you let me go,” he said to the court. “When will you leave “Today.” ‘ll give you until 3 o'clock to leave, and if you are caught here later than this time you will be sent down.” Marcellus Wilson and Margaret Wilson, his wife, and a young man named Thomas Hassett, who were arrested in a raid near 1st and H streets northeast, were charged as vagrants. Policeman Tracy, who is well acquainted with the trio, gave evidence against them. His complaint against Has- sett was that he does not work, but loafs about the neighborhood where he was ar- Tested. “Did you ever see him work?” asked counsel. “The most work I ever saw him do,” re- sponded the officer, “‘was to carry beer in cans.” Marcellus Wilson was not in court, be- cause he was too much under the influence of liquor when he was arrested. The court heard additional evidence in the case, to show that the three persons were sleeping In one room. A peculiar noise heard in the prison pen caused a break in the proceedings, and it was found that an old soldier named Micheel Lanhady had a fit. He was re- moved from the court, and the hearing of the vagrancy case was resumed. The defendants’ personal bonds were taken. - Patrick O'Neill has spent most of his pension money. He got drunk last night and was found in the storm at 3 o'clock this morning. Patrick has made such a good record dur- ing the past month that the judge released him on his personal bonds. Six other prisoaers were tried, and five of them were sent down. —_—.__. FATHER FULTON DEAD. An Eminent Catholic Educator and Jesuit Expires in California. Catholic circles have been thrown Into profeund sorrow by the announcement of the death at the College of Santa Clara, California, of Rev. Father Robert A. Ful- ton, S. J., at one time pastor of St. Aloy- sius Church, and mor? recently professor of English literature in Georgetown Uni- versity. Father Fulton was a native of Alexandria, Va., where he was born in 1826. He became a student at Georgetown Col- lege in 1842, and became a member of the Society of Jesus not long afterward. He pursued his theological studies at St. Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore, and, after being or- dained as a priest, became known as one of the most zealous and influential Jesuits in this country. He held many important positions in the order, being made superior of the province of New York and Maryland in 1882. Failing health caused him to re- ‘| Hnquish this office, and he took the chair of English literature at Georgetown. Several months ago he was transferred to Santa Clara, where, it was thought, the climate would restore his energies; but his illness was too far advanced, and yesterday morn- Ing he died there. Father Fulton was a tran of great erudition, a fine linguist and a preacher and professor of eminent power. ——.___ Destitution Reported. Dr. M. B. Strickler, who was at one time ene of the police surgeons, reported a case of destitution to Chief Clerk Sylvester this morning. Mrs. Callas, a widow, with four children, {s the subject of charity. She lives at No. 4 Scott avenue, in the county, and@ has scarlet fever in the family. Dr. Strickler reports that he made an effort to pare the health office contribute medicine, ut his request was refused, for the reason that a physician to the poor was not in at- tendance. Chief Clerk Sylvester of the police depart- ment, to whom the case was reported, fur- nished prompt relief, both in the line of medicines and other necessaries of life. f FINANCIAL.

From the Boston Journal. A new beok of examination questions for aiding teachers of drawing defines a profile as “a line which separates the seen from the unseen.” It is somewhat puzzling to make out from this definition whether one can gee a profile.
