The subject of the lec- ture was given on Mr. Wilson's recent trip to Atlanta and the southern battle fields. He spoke in an interesting manner of the movements of the Union and confederate armies at the battle of Chickamauga and Atlanta, the various positions of both armies being “delfrieated from maps and charts, and explained the position of the various monuments and tablets erected at the National-Park of Chickamauga. —_—— Women Writers Listen to Mrs. Lock- ‘Wood.

The-success of the Central Un‘on Mission of this city in reaching the unconverted classes has led to the conviction that a sfm- ilar work may be successfully prose>uted in every city. This mission in ten years has grown from a very small beginning to evangelization movement, with a great building in the center of the city and a dozen branches in various-other sec- tions, with a well organized corps. of work- ers carrying on almost every concetvable form of effort to reach the unsaved. In ten years more than 000 persons have professed conversion; the co! ations aggregate an attendance of 000 an- nually; held; successful evangel'stie york among suburban churches has been done, and an almost unprecedented. activity has been maintained at a comparatively small ex- pense in money, the work being almost wholly done by volunteers, without pecu- niary compensation. . After much consultation’ with Christian workers, evangelists and mission leaders in other cities, an organization has been ef- fected, to be called the National Gospel Mission Union. Its object is to Christian- ize America, and while it is not restricted in its agencies and methovls, yet its found- ers have in mind several important fea- tures, to which others may be added as oc- casion arises. Objects to Be Attained. It is proposed to organize gospel missions in cities where they are needed and to secure the fellowship ‘and co-operation of those which already exist, as far as this is found practicable. A plan will be adopted whereby existing missions and those which may hereafter be formed may become auxiliary to the national unfon for pur- poses of co-operation and mutual benefit. It is also proposed to organize training schools for the training of men and wemen for this special class of work, so that the missions of the cities may have competent superintendents and other helpers. Another object 1s to organize corps of evangelists, who may respond to demands for special services in churches and mis- sions. An important feature will be’ the fact of refraining from the organizing of any churches or anything that would constitute a rival of ecclesiastical bodies. The ef- fort will be to co-operate with the church- es and not supplant or compete with them; to harmonize existing bodies and not to produce strife; to strengthen and not weak- en_all good agencies." * ‘The last ten years have witnessed won- derful progress in the’ movement for the evangelization of cities, and there kas been a practical demonstration of the fact that the gospel is powerful in the reclaim- ing of the lost, even when they have fallen to the lowest depths of degradation. Branches Alrendy Started. Growing out of this national movement, which was organized last January, a rescue mission has been established at Alexandria, Va., and a Central Union Mission has been established in Pittsburg, Pa. A similar work has been organized in Philadelphia under the name of the Cross and Crown Association. A great work is being organ- ized in Baltimore, and Major Hilton is now in Evansville, Ind., organizing a general city mission work, under the auspices of this as- sociation. The following committees are in charge of the arrangements: Program—E. D. Bailey, Geo. A. Hilton, Geo. W. Wheeler. Finance—W. L. Bruen, Judge Anson S. Taylor, S. W. Woodward, G. W. F: Swartzell, T. A. Harding and Mr. Matthews. Place of meeting—N. A. Rob- bir, A. L. Swartwout and W. C. Tyler. En- tertainment and transportation—Dr. J. E. Carpenter, J. E. Pugh, P, S. Foster, Mrs. S. D. La Fetra, Mrs. P. W. Pratt and Mrs. Craft, Mrs. A. E. Miley, Mrs. Randall. Printing and press—Geo. W. Wheeler, H. P. Godwin, A. B. Slauson, W. Osgood and C. Kloeber. Invitations—G. G. Martin, S. D. Luckett, O. B. Brown, Allen Wood. Music— Geo. W. Havel. Ushers—P. W. Pratt, J. C. Muncaster, E. P. Clayton and Karl’ Han- sen. Invitations have been extended to about fifty pastors residing in Virginia and Mary- land, and entertainment is desired for them. Saas SUNDAY TEACHERS’ CLUB. Serics of Lectures Mapped Out for the Coming Season. ‘The plans of the District branch of the Sunday Teachers’ Club for the coming sea- son have keen greatly enlarged. Dr. Greg- ery, chairman of the national committee, and Dr. Gilbert, its secretary, have assisted the local committee, and an exceedingly at- tractive program has been arranged for the eight sessions, one each month. The prac- tice work of last year, designed to give skill in lesson preparation, will be contin- ued. The text book study will be resumed, covering the books of the junior year, and Prof. C. M. L. Sites of the local committee will conduct the reviews. The verious top- ics in the course will be expanded in a se- ries of brief lectures, two at each monthly session, so that the members will have the benefit of their reading first and of the re- search of local scholars afterward. The lecturers have all been engaged except one, and are as follows: Rev. W. Radcliffe, Cy- rus Adler, Rev. C. A. Stakeley, D. D.; P. H. Bristow, Prof. Isaac Clark, +Prof. J. L. Ewell, Rev. S. L. Beiler, D. D.; Prof. H. L. Buell, Rev. J. Gilbert, D. D.; Rev. F. A. Stier, Rev. I. W. Canter, D. D.; Rev. A. Osborn, D. D.; Rev. M. R. Fishburn, Prof. R. B. Warder, Dr. John M. Gregory. The club is designed for Sunday school teachers of all denominations, and is a national fra- ternity, formei by the American Soctety of Religious Educaticn, whose office is in the Ohio National Bank building. Fuller infor- mation may be obtained at the oifice. A circular, giving the places and times of the sessions and other details, will be issued shortly. The local committee of the branch club is as follows: Luther R. Smith, chair- man; A. J. Halford, secretary; W. W. Mil- lan, assistant secretary; J. F, Johnson, An- drew Wilson, C. M. L. Sites, B. F. Myers, representing seven denominations, about fifty meetings a week are, AMUSEMENTS, Lafayette Square Opera House—It is now some twelve years that Mr. Frederick Warde has been visiting Washington as a star, and it is the slightest of the compli- ments that may be paid him to say that during that iime he has, with a praise- worthy consistency, done whatever lay in his power to keep his profession unsullied and unassailable before the public, while growing riper individually in his exposi- tion of his art. Each of Mr. Warde’s en- gagements here from the first has been the superior in financial returns over its pre- decessor. In recent seasons he has made notable revivals of several Shak2spearean plays that have added largely to his repu- tation as a scholarly and intelligent artist, rich in stage lore and. professional expe- rience. This vear he is presenting a series of romantic dramas, as carefully mounted and elaborately rendered as were any of those with which he has heretofore been associated. His company is announced as superior in numbers and dramatic strength to any that has previotsly supported him, and as peculiarly adapted to the style of dramatic work required by the plays pro- duced. For his engagement at the Lafay- ette Square Opera House next week three plays. are announce¢—“The Mountebank,” Monday, Friday and Saturday nights; “‘Da- mon and Pythias,”” Wednesday, end “The Lion’s Mouth,’” Tuesday and Thursday nights and for the matin2e Saturday. Allen’s Grand Opera House.—Belasco’s new play. “The Heart of Maryland,” will be given its initial production at Allen's Grand Opera House Monday night, with such a scenic production and such a cast as never would be seen in it f It was or- ganized for the road. No expense has been spared to make it perfect in scenic and property effects. Three car loads of scenery and properties snd more than half a hundred people have come from New York to produce this play. Mr. Belasco believes in Washington preductions. Sev- cral of his plays, notably ‘The Girl I Left Behind Me,” were first seen in Washington. He considers this city typically American and the proper field for a verdict on an American play. “The Heart of Mary- land” will have cost $25,000 when the cur- tain goes up next Morday night. In his new play Mr. Belasco has gone to the up- land country of Maryland for his material, locating his action in and around Boons- bero’, a hamlet about thirty leagues west of Baltimore. ‘This is in the historic at- mosphere of Harper's Ferry, Fvederick- town and Hagerstown, and includes the territory that witnessed the battle of An- tietam. “The Heart of Maryland” is not a war drama, but a romance. The conflict esters into much of its action and incident, but the story is one rather of human im- pulse and emotion set in the environment of the unfortunate struggle that darkened the early sixties. An Index to its perfect interpretation is found in the names of the people ergaged, including as they do Frank Mordaunt, Maurice Barrymore, John E. Kellerd, Cyril Scott, Odell Williams, H. Weaver, jr., Edward J. Morgan, Jno. W. Jennings, Scott Cocper, Edwin Meyer, Jno. McKeever, E. F. Mayo, Ms. Leslie Carter, Helea Tracy, Georgia Bushy, Angela Mc- Caull ond others. National Theater.—Next week Camille D’Arville, who is pleasantly remembered here for her good work with the Bos- tonians, will be seen at the National Thea- ter at the head of her own company, in an opera entitled “Madeline, or the Magic Kiss,” which is said to be full of good mu- sic and attractive situaticns. Academy of Music.—Corinne, who is one of the brghtesi figures in burlesque cpera, will come to the Academy of Music next | week, supported by the Kimball Burlesque in an operatic extravaganza, Company, for her, entitled “Hen- written, especial drik Hudson, jr. The Bijou Theater.—At the Bijou Theater for the week beginning Monday, October 7, Manager Easton will offer several novelties in Kalbfield’s Vaudeville Company, includ- ing Mlle. Troja, who sings the most chic songs in a manner so innocent and de! cate that she immediately -aiches on. “Paradise Alley” is her favorite. Her voice is clear, distinct and of a highly cultured nature. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Manager Ker- nan’s attraction for next week will be Messrs. Weber and Fields’ latest and most travagant enterprise, “The Vaudeville Ciub.” The performance given by this com- pany has been described as ‘exceptionally good,” which fact is verified by a glance at the following names appearing on the pro- gram: Sam Bernard, comedian and mimic; McIntyre and Heath, the famous southern negro delineators; the Meers Brothers, from the Norveay Cirque, Paris, accomplishing the most astounding wire act conceivable; Will H. Fox, the only, original ‘‘Pade- whiskie;” the Sisters Burt, in their own conception of Broadway swells, and Lizz‘e B. Raymond, the favorite character vocal- ist. The performance will conclude with the laughable absurdity, entitled “The World’s Balloon,” introducing McIntyre and Heath in the principal comedy roles. There will be matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Cdd Fellows’ Hall.—The engagement of Markos, which begins Monday evening at Odd Fellows’ Hall, promises to be very suc- cessful. He is one of the best-known hyp- notists and mesmerists on the road, and has scored instantaneous success wherever he has appeared. He does not claim to be a spiritualist, and does many tricks by sleight of hand that others claim to be done with the aid of supernatural power. Besides the hypnotism and mesmerism he introduces cabinet tricks and various other works of mag‘c, which never fail to catch his audi- ence. He duplicates a great many of the feats of the mediums who are traveling at the present time, and introduces into all his wenderful power cf hypnotism. He is assisted by the Williams Trio, an English fam‘ly of musical wonders, who ran for over three hundred nights at the Crystal Palace, in London. Ada Rehan.—At Albaugh’s New Theater Miss Rehan is to give her versatility a se- vere tug for a week, commencing October 14. The opening bill will be Mr. Daly's comedy (from the Germai ‘A Railroad «f Lov Tuesday evening. “School for Scan- dal Wednesday evening, “Twelfth Night;” Thursday evening, “As You Like It;” Friday evening and Saturday matinee, “Midsummer Night's Dream Saturday evening, “Taming the Shrew." Miss Re- han’s triumph as a star has been complete. No actress has struggled harder, worked more faithfully or more conscientiously than has sne. What she has achieved and what she fs are due to her artistic work in. the theater, for her manager has persist- ently refused to give her the benefit—if it really be a benefit in the long run—of sen- sational advertising. A Successful Tour.—The tour of Charles B. Hanford of this city, Elihu R. Spencer and Nora O’Brion has thus far proved a gratifying success. The company has been doing phénomenal business in all the towns visited since its opening at Wilmington, Del. The principals have bezn warmly praised for their work. ——— ' EXCURSIONS, The first oyster roast of the season will take place tomorrow at Marshall Hall. The oyster roasts of Marshall Hall are as well known as the planked shad dinners of the same place that are given in the spring, and devotees of the toothsome bivalve will find mvch to attract them at these weekly feasts. They will be given every Sunday in October and November, and the greatest care will be taken that the patrons of the place are looked after in the best manner possible. The palace, fast-flying steamer Macalester will leave her wharf at 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. ‘Those who have never seen the new ships of the United States navy will have an op- portunity to do so this evening and tomor- row evening. The white squadron will be stationed in Hampton Roads Saturday and Sunday, and those who desire to see the beautiful ships composing it can take the Norfolk and Washington Sieamboat Com- pany’s boats and- get the best view obtain- able from ary point. The Newport News leaves tonight, while the Washington leaves tomorrow evening at 7 o'clock. The boats arrive at Norfolk early the next morning, giving passengers a chance to see the naval display under the most favorable circum- stances. Besides this principal ettraction, those taking advantage of this opportunity will have a chance of visiting Old Point Comfort and Virginia Beach, together with Fortress Monroe. Full particulars may be obtained from John Callahan, general man- ager of the company, at the office, on the wharf. —— Bible Readings. At tke Fourth Presbyterian Church, cor- ner 9th and Grant place, Mr. J. W. Dean, the Quaker evangelist, has been giving a series of Bible readings during the after- noons of the week. These meetings will continue during the coming week, being held each day at 2:30 p.m. in the lecture room of the church, AFFAIRS IN »GEORGETOWN An Old Offender is Caught in the Toils Onca More. Victim of Drink and Morphine and a Lockpicker-Other Local Matters. ‘ Daniel Coleman. the tinner, so addicted to the use of whisky and morphine that periodically he gets so dangerous as to ren- der it recessary for his fam‘ly to incar- cerate him, was in the toils aga‘n last night. He was brought to the station by his wife. A fa@orite pastime of Coleman when he gets under the influence of these masters is to overturn stoves, break up crockery ware and throw coal ofl lamps about. The last time he was incareerated he succeeded in picking the station lock and escaping. And he became so inflated over the skill he thought he was possessed of that he brag- ged publicly he could pick any lock ever -made in a few minutes. Last night he went at his old trick. The Yale locks in the meantime had been re- placed by padlocks, and Coleman didn’t succeed “‘a little bit.” He used as the open- ing instrument a suspender buckle. This was broken in the lock and caused a stop- page of operations. Then Coleman. filled every hole in the lock with tobacco. It was found necessary this morning to destroy it in order to let the prisoner out. No charge but drunkenness had been en- tered against his name, but before h’s de- parture Lieut. Swindells gave him a severe reprimand for his leck-tamper:ng, and threatened punishment for the next offense. Coleman is an educated man, but a slave to the whisky and morphine habit. He has, howeven promised Officer Bradley. and his wife that he will leave these evils alone hereafter. Revival Service. Evargelist R. E. Neighbor, who for two weeks, beginning tomorrow evening at o'clock, and contipuing nightly, will exhort those who attend the Baptist Church here, has arrived in town with his bride, having been :rarried within a month at Parsons, Kan. The-.evangdlist is just twenty-four years of age. Three years ago he held serv- ices here of a highly successful nature. He is a graduate of the Waco, Texas, Theo- logical Seminary. -While in Georgetown Rev. Mr. Neighbor will be the guest ’of the Rev. W. S. O. Thomas of 2007 Cambridge place and pastor of the Gay Street Baptist Church, Rev. Mr. t returns to pulpit to- morrow at the Dumbarton Church, after having been on sick leave for six months. The resumption of pastoral duties will be made particularly interesting to the ccn- gregation through the delivery of the first of a -series of illustrated lectures on ‘Scenes in the Life of Christ.” Much interest has been excited and the attendance will be large. The stereopticon illustrations will be very fine. Notes. At the first meeting of the Unity Club, Mr. J. B. Philip of this place, for nine years a president of the literary body, will sketch its history in a paper specially pre- pared for the opening. i s; Rev. Julius Soper, formerly of George- town, who for the past fifteen years has been doing missionary work in Japan, wiil speak a: Dumbarton Church tomorrow morning. Rev. Mr. Soper was at one time superintendent of the Dumbarton Sunday school here. Mrs. Wm. C. Hazel is sinking gradually and her death is thought unavoidable. a iIGHER IN SHCES PRICE. The Leather Trast-is Responsible for the Present State of Affairs. Persons who have bee: aceustomed to wear the same style and manufacture of shoes, one pair! after another, have been somewhat surprised to find that the price had: materially advanced when -they have gone to get a new pair th’s fall, and there has been a tendency on the part of some to believe that shee dealers had entered into a sort of a combination to make greater profits out of the pu'lic. After hearing a number of complaints of this sort a Star reporter determined today to ascertain the cause of the increased cost of shoes and called on Mr. T. B. Snyder of the firm of Hoover & Snyder, at 1211 F street northwest, who knows all about shoes, as the success of the establishment illustrates. “The advance in the price of leather is responsible for the higher prices asked for shoes,” sald Mr. Snyder, in_re- ply to the visitor’s interrogatories. “That advance is due in part to the diminished supply of cattle sent to market beceuse of the unprofitable character of cattle rais- ing, but more particularly to the formation of the leather trust by Chicago parties, which now controls the market. “There is no telling, either, what the ultimate results will ‘be. Sole. leather that sold a year ago for 17 cents a pound is now selling at 35 and 36 cents. The same rise holds good throughout the list of leathers almost. Consequently, manu- facturers have advanced the price of shoes frcm 12 to 15 per cent. Some deitlers claim to be selling the same shoes now at the same prices they did formerly, but they can’t do it. The difference comes out of the xoods in the shoes. We saw this thing coming last April and gave out large orders at the prevailing prices. Now we are retailing a shoe at $5 a pair, owing to this purchase, that the same manufactur- ers are asking $5 a pair for wholesale. Manufacturers, too, are very indifferent and independent about taking orders,where they were formerly all anxiety. There is a scarcity of leather, and as I said betore, no one can tell when the present state of aifairs will stop. “What are the styles in shoes? All kinds are called for. A customer will come in and get a pair of necdle toes and another will follow and buy a pair of the broadest. Men and women are alike in this. I think the tendency, however, is toward a me- dium toe and that by next ‘ing that style will be most sought after. Saas BOARD OF TRADE WORK. pointed to Investigate Causes of Typhoid Fever. The annual work of the board of trade was started yesterday for the season by a meeting of the directors in the afternoon at the rooms on G strect. President Warner was in the cha‘r. The members present were Messrs. Bell, Church, Dunlop, Garnett, Hume, Magruder, Perry, Smith and -Wood- ward. Preparations were reported to be in fair progress for the annual meeting of the board, to be held November 11. It was de- cided that the directors shou!d hold another meeting previous to this session of the board, to outline more definitely the work of the organization for the year. Next Thurs- day afternoon was chosen. During the meeting attention was called to the prevalence of typhoid fever in the city, and a committee, consisting of Messrs. S. W. Woodward, C. C. Glover and T. W. Smith, was appointed to confer with the District Commissioners to ascertain if some measures can be devised to ameliorate the unwholesome conditions prevalewt around the mouths of the large sewers and in the vicinity of Rock creek. ————— A Book Store Burglar. The Boston book store, at 506 11th street, was entered by @ burglar last night and slightly ro2bed. A rear window shutter was broken open, 2 pane of glass shattered and the sash lifted. The illicit visitant took $3.68, much of it in pennies, from the cash drawer and carried off a small paper-weight clock. The thief was not a book lover, for he did not carry off any of the numerous volumes all about him, some of consider- able value. —__—>_—_ Returned to the Asylum. John Kelly, alias Frank McCarry, who made his escape from St. Elizabeth’s more than a year ago, was brought here from New York last night by Detective Carter and re- turned to the asylum. Felly was under sen- tence in the Erie county, N. Y., penitentiary for burglary, and when he showed signs of insanity he was sent here to the asylum. Recently he returned t> New York city, where he visited his old haunts and was again arrested. When released from the asylum he will be returned to prison. He is only twenty-six years old. _ WHOLESALE PRODUCE MARKET. Perfect Butter Practically Impossible to Obtain. Throughout the local wholesale produce market there is a firmness and steadiness which may in a very great measure te at- tributed to the cool weather of the past week. The products most beneficially af- fected by the change from summer to au- tumn temperature are bufter and eggs. But, while butter is no. lower and eggs are higher today, the quality of cach product shows an improvement. It is but a sl improvement in each instaace, however. Yet both will continue to rapidly improve, ard in a short time it will undoubtedly be no longer impossible to obtain perfect goods, as has been practically the case for so many weeks. Peaches are being re-. ceived in such irregular‘quantities that no definite quotations are obtainable, and that is practically true of pears. The season for each is about closed. But as those cel- fcacies depart another arrives in the shape of the turkey. The past summer, it is said, was very favorable for turkey raisers, and the fall and winter supply of the national bird is expected to be more than ordinarily large. The market continues to be a grandly supplied one. There is an in- creased demand throughout, and the tone is, therefore, unusually healthy and en- courag:ng. ‘There may be said to be a boom in butter. There is a great and increasing demand for fine goods, but that grade is still extremely difficult to obtain, even the best, as well as the lower grades, showing up very poor. Absolutely perfect goods, in fact, comm: almost any price. Below the first grades, however, the market !s slow. June cream- ery is beng preferred to anyth'ng under fancy, and June makes are held with in- creasing confidence. Im‘tations are show- ing up poor and w Prices show no change, except in the very highest grades, which are higher. The market shows an upward tendency, however. For fancy El- gin and other western extras 2+ cents a pound are asked. Choice, 22; first: ; sec- onds, 17. €ho!ce bakers’ stock, 12% to 14; New York tubs, 17 to 20; dairy print, 16 to 18; western, 10 to 14; Maryland and Vir- pine creamery, 15 to 19; da'ry packed, 13 to 16. The quality of cheese is almost as un- satisfactory as butter and eggs, although the cool weather wil] soon remedy that fault. It shows an upward tendency and it is today a cent higher, being quoted at 12 cents a pound, New York state full cream, large, 19, and flais, 10 1 While the cool weather has slightly im- proved the quality of eggs, they are still in very poor condition. They have ad- vanced in price, and strictly fine goods are selling today at from 17 to 18 cents a dozen, other grades being from one to two cents lower. Keat or guinea stock, 7 to 9. Live turkeys have made their appearance in sufficient quantity to be quoted, and are selling at from 8 to 12 cents a pound. Prices for other poultry remain about as last quoted. For live spring chickens, 10 to 14 cents a pound are asked; old fowls, 5 to 10; ducks, 9 to 11, and geese, 8 to 10. Game is fairly plentiful and of average quality, prices being about as those men- tlonea a week ago. Venison, saddle, per pound, 18 to 20; whole deer, bucks, per peund, § to 10; -bear, saddle, 10; pheasants, 90 to 6); rabbits, per dozen, $1.25 to $1.56; quail, $1.75 to $2.00; wild turkeys, per pound, 1 soodcock, each, 35 to 40. No material changes are noted in veg- etables, as may ke seen from the following prices: Cucumbers, 50 cents to $1.25 a box; new potatoes, $1 to $1.75 a barrel; sweet potatces, red, $1 to $i a barrel; eastern shore sweet potatoes, $1.50 to $2 a b: yams and haymons, $1 to $1.50 a bar 0 to $2 a barrel; turnips, 60 to a barrel; Virginia white beans, $1.25 black-eyed peas, $1 to $1.10 a bushel; a bears, 4 to 6 cents a quart; tomatoes, cents to $1.59 a erate. Fruits are becoming scarce and uncer- tain, altheugh. apples are expected to he rather plentiful and lower. For fancy table apples, $2.50 to $3 a barrel; Sickle pears, $2 to $3 a barrel; Bartlett pears, $4 to $ a barrel; peaches, $2 to $5 a bushel; fancy California oranges, $2.50 to $3 a box Messina, $2 to $2.50; Valencia, $3 to $3, lemons, $5 to $7 a box; grapes, 10 to 15 cents a ten-pound basket. Beef and other meats show a slight in- rease in prices. Live cattle, 2 to 4% cents to to nd; lambs, 4 to 4 3-4, and sheep, cows, with calves, $25 to $40; calve: cents a pound. i —— BEFORE JUDGE MILLER. Cases of Some Importance Tried To- day and the Sentences. ‘This morning in Judge Miiler’s court there was a variety of defendants, and against them were charges of various kinds. Wm. Gant, the young colored man who was ac- quitted of the murder of Peter Young, was deferidant in one case, and it was charged that he had committed the offense of petit larceny. He was employed in a house put- ting down carpets, and it was charged that he stole a number of articles. William de- nied the charge, but the proof was aga‘nst him, and a sentence of four months was imposed. Edward Johnson, a special officer, and Antonio Ceparath, an Italian tailor,’ were in court because they had a fight yester- day. The tailor shop is near 5th and D streets, and the trouble came about because the officer objected to the tailor’s wife chop- ping wood on the secord floor. The husband, naturally enough, took his Wife's part, and the men fought it out. Judge ier fined the officer $2 and the tailor paid a $5 fine. “Little” Annte Rooney was in court. ‘My name is Annie Rooney,” she said, “and I'm glad of it.” = She was a witness for William Thomas, an ola coiored man, who conducts the “Lit- tle Pacific’ lunch room in South Washing- ton. Thomas charged Kate Washington, keeper of the “Great Atlantic” lunch room, with assault. The trouble between them was purely a business matter, and no*biood ae 3 ee Annie Rooney ind:gnantly denied that she was the old colored man’s wife, al she does live in his house, "U** “WtHough “Step aside, Little Pacific,” said court to the old man, against Kate was dismissed rehie Weich though: ho woul 2 for the winter before ihe first anon aan comes, and so he called in front of Louis Aronrson’s store and helped himself to two pairs of boots. His plea, in the esse was net guilty, but the proof did not sustain the plea, and a sentence of four inonths was imposed. Charles Fischer was in court because he deals in razers and had failed to take out the necessary license. This required by law, and the names of the purchasers have to be reccrded and reported. He promised to take ut his liceuze and comply with the law, and his personal bonds were taken. John Johnson, a colored man from near Centervilte, Md., was in the toils because of an alleged indecent assault committed on a small colored boy named John Har- ris. The assault occurred in a wagon at the market last night, and the prisoner was given a sentence of six month: A colored boy namel William the and the charge jomas | was locked up for stealing a diamond ring from Mrs. Mackall. He was employed in the house of the owner of the ring, and when Policeman Watson arrested him he admitted his guilt and returned the ring. A plea of guilty was entered and the prisoner was held for the grand jury. He was committed.
