Other Cases on the Court Docket To- day—Prisoners Who Had Taken Too Much. Oliver Dorsey was in Judge Kimball's pro- cession again today, and the charge against him was similar to that on which he has been arrested many times during recent years, drunk and disorderly, and he thouzht he might just as well plead guilty as not guilty, for he {s always convicted and fin:d. It is related by one of the court officers that a certain officer always picked up Oliver when he wanted to attend court. This may be true, but it is certain that Oliver was not always innocent, for he has been for several years a patron of the saloons: along 7th street in which “five-cent hummers” and “Gilmores” are sold, and either Oliver's ca- pacity 1s small or he manages to get a great amount of Iquor, for his normal condition 1s far from sober. “Guilty,” he answered, when arraigned, and the usual fine was imposed. George Warner, a young colored man who only has one leg, was in court because he tad been patronizing the saloons where Oliver had been. He had also attended a party. “I found him lying across the sidewalk,” said Policeman Auldridge. “He's been drunk several times lately, and I thought I would bring him into court. “Judge, your honor,” said the prisoner, “I hope you will excuse me this time. Iam working now, and if I have to go down I'll lose my Job.” “A man who gets drunk,” said the court, “must expect to lose his job.” “That's so,"" said George, “but I only have one leg, and it’s hard for me to get werk. I didn’t expect to get drunk last nignt, but I went to a lady's birthday party and had me wine.”” You may go this time,” the judge told him, “and the next time you attend a birih- day party you had better keep sober.” Sam. Dyson said he was born in the coun- try, but has lived here since 1885. “I arrested him in Freeman’s alley,” si Policeman Auldridge, “as a suspicious per- son. He has been hanging around the O street market, and is suspected of having robbed market wagons. There was no proof that he had ever touch- ed anything in the wagons, and Sam. show ed that he was working for Mr. Holmed. ‘The policeman had no other proof agai him, and Judge Kimball released hlin cn his personal bonds. Small Prisoners. James Peepers, a colored boy almost too small to see over the prison rail, which is not very high, was in the court on com- plaint of Policeman Joyce. The little fel- low had heen locked up by Policeman Joyce because he heard that he had figured in a boys’ fight on his way home from the Stev- ens School. Two boys, one of them only five years old, and the other two years his senior, wer kept away from school today to sw against their companion. “Do you know what it is to tell a lie?” the young boy was asked. “Yes, sir,"" he answered. “What will become of you if you do tell a lie?” “The devil will catch me.” Jimmie Peepers, as a witness for himself, admitted the truth of what the witnesses had sald, and Judge Kimball said he did rot like to send such small children to the workhouse, and released him. “Go home,” said the judge, “and tell your mother I say to give you a good whipping. The boy smiled and walked out of court. Policeman Arendes had the next case, his victim being a very small colored boy named David Stevens, who had been locked up over night because he had jumped on a moving car on the 9th street line. Lawyer Smith thought his incarceration had been sufficient punishment for his ttle client, and so did the judge. The boy was released. Cleveland Jones, another boy who had been arrested on a similar charge, forfeited $ collcteral. After Oysters, John Zell, a man whose movements were decidedly uncertain, because of the amount of liquid refreshments in which he had in- dulged this morning, was charged with baving been disorderly at 11th street and Pennsylvania avenue. “I went out this morning to get some oysters,” said the intoxicated man, “and got run in.” “I'm afraid you had something other than oysters," remarked the judge; ‘your breath comes all the way over here to me and the whisky is very strong.” “I don’t care if you send me down for ninety-nine years,’’ stammered the drunk- en man, “but you're mistaken. I live at ten hundred and E street and was going to get oysters.” “Five dollar: Samuel Herbert, a little old man with gray hair, was in the procession on a charge of vagrancy, and he plead guilty. “Under what circumstances was the old man arrested?” Judge Kimball asked. “This morning about 1 o'clock,” Special Officer Perry, in Seaton Park.” “Ten days.” Policeman Bannagan was given some in- structions in the matter of arrests when he complained against an old man named Her- man Ziller for alleged vagrancy. “I found him going across the Long bridge last night,” said the officer. “He Was going over to Virginia and had a bundle of clothes with him. “If he was going to Virginia,” sald the judge, “you had better have let him. When these strangers are going to leave the po- lice had better assist them out rather than bring them back. The prisoner sald he was on his way across the river to get work on the electric road. Li said “I found him asleep personal bonds were taken. A Crap Game. Lucy Fox, a colored woman, who was chewing something other than gum, com- plained against a party of colored men, who, she alleged, had participated in a game of crap on the front porch of her house, at 612 Goat alley. “The place was black with ’em,” said the woman, “and that’s the gentleman (pointing to one of the prisoners) who was hustling the bones.” Four young men wero charged, but there was no proof against two of them. Lucy said she had thrown water on some of the crap shooters. One of the defendants, the one on whom the bones were found, said he found them while hauling ashes early in the morning. Lue; sister was called, and she gave evidence, saying she saw two of them jn a game early in the day. Two of them were dismissed and others were held guilty. Zach. Winfield, a tall, slender colored man, who has a wife and _ two babies, thought that incarceration would cause them some suffering. He thought this after he had been arrested, but not when he was in a game of crap. ‘There were two charges against him, and he plead guilty. “The policeman,” he told the court, “said he would charge me with disorderly con- duct, and that I would have to get $5. When I got the fine he told me I would have to get ten, and now I hope you will trust me.” “The fine,” the judge told him, “Is $10 in each case, and you will have to pay the fines or go down.” the —— Senator Van Wyck Il.

A systematic and pertinactous attempt seems to be being made to create a great @eal of unnecessary excitement over the imaginary possibility that F street !s going to be torn up previous to the Christmas holidays and the thoroughfare made im- passable to shoppers and consequent com- mercial disaster visited upon the many merchants doing. business upon it. The reason for this rumor, which has been daily taking more and more the shape of 2 positive declaration, lies in the fact that the Metropolitan Ratlroad Company contem- plates placing the Connett underground elec- tric system over its F street line, and that in order to accomplish this a cond:it will have to be dug. Irresponsive busybodies taking this as a theme have succeeded in working up a great deal of nervousness among some of the F street merchants. The fact remains, however, that the whole ques- tion of the digging up of F street was satis- factorily settled over six months ago. In conversation with a representative of The Star this morning, Mr. Samuel L. Phil- lips, the president of the Metropolitan Rail- road Company, told the whole story in a nutshell. ast spring,” said Mr. Phillips, ‘‘a peti- tion very extensively signed by merchants on F street between 9th and 14th streets asking that the building of the electric con- duit on F street be postponed until next spring was presented to me. By appoint- ment I met Mr. John Joy Edson, the presi- dent of the Washington Loan and Trust Company; Mr. Woodward of the firm of Woodward and Lothrop, and Mr. Robinson of Robinson, Chery & Company, who were a committee representing the petitioners al- luded to. I assured those gentlemen that in deference to the'r wishes the Metropolitan Railroad Company would begin the con- struction of the electric conduit at the east end and would proceed no further than %th and F streets this winter. This was en- trely satisfactory to the gentlemen I have mentioned, and the company is proceeding with the construction precisely in line with that understanding. Work upon the con- duit, Iam happy to say, is rapidly progre: ing on Capitol Hill. The conduit has been laid entirely around Lincoln Park and is now being put down on East Capitol street. It is prec‘sely similar in every respect to the construction already in successful operation on the {th street line. I may say, in con- clusion,” said Mr. Phillips, as the reporter was leaving, “that all of the orders for metal work, rails, yokes and the other articles en- tering into the construction on the F street line have been made in accordance with the intention of the company to proceed with the work this winter only as far as ¥th and F streets.” —__.- AMUSEMENTS, Creston Clarke.—The engagement of Cres- ton Clarke at the Lafayette Square Opera House next week promises to be a fashion- able season of Shakespearean and classical drama. The supporting company includes the beautiful and gifted actress, Miss Ade- laide Prince. Mr. Clarke will appear on Monday and Thursday evenings and Sat- urday matinee as “Hamlet;’’ Tuesday even- ing, ‘The Fool's Revenge Wednesday matinee, ‘“‘The Merchant of Venice,” and in the evening the first time in this city of “Edgar Allan Poe,” a dramatization of “The Raven,” by George C. Hazelton, jr., of this city. On Friday evening Mr. Clarke will repeat “The Fool's Revenge,” and will close his engagement Saturday night with “Richelieu.” Mr. Clarke was the favorite nephew of the late Edwin Booth, and was considered by that great actor as his suc- cessor to maintain the family position on the American stage. ‘Hamlet’ will be featured by Mr. Clarke, the scenery being painted from sketches drawn by him. Miss Adelaide Prince comes from the lone star state and all Texans are proud of her. She won fame under Augustin Daly’s manage- ment in London, Paris and New York. Mr. Clarke and Miss Prince are social favorites in Washington. Melba at the Grand Opera House.—Next Tuesday night Mme. Melba, the great prima doyra soprano, who was ‘heard here last season with the Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau Opera Company, will visit Washington at the head of her own concert troupe, under the management of Mr. C. A. Ellis. She will be supported by Mme. Scaichi, contral- to; Mme. Bauermeister, mezzo ‘soprano; Sig. D’Aubigne, tenor, and Sig. Campanari, baritone. She will also bring a large and complete orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Landon Ronald. Melba is equally good In concert as in opera, but she will give a program that will enable her to appear both as a singer and an actress. She will appear !m concert numbers and also as arguerite in the third act of Gounod’s Faust.” Mr. Ellis has placed his star in an effective setting, for those surrounding her are well-known and competent singers, and this concert, which will be the first of importance this season, will also be one of the best that will be heard here. The sale of seats will commence tomorrow at the box cffice of the Grand Opera House. Hyde's Comedians.—Manager Kernan’s at- traction for next week will be Hyde's Comedians, which comes direct from Hyde and Behman's New York Theater. This or- ganization 1s comparatively in a class by {tself; It is really the most expensive and highest salaried company in existence. The aggregation of stars this season is headed by another Mora—not the well-known Hel- ene, but her sister, Miss Fannie Mora— whose voice is said to rival that of her sister. Other names appearing on the program are: Polly Holmes, the Irish come- dienne; the Rays, comedy pair; Lizzie and Vinnie Daly, dancing wonders; Lester and McAvoy, the up-to-date comedians; Harris and Walters, sketch artists; the Wilmot Duo, trick bicycle riders; the Midgleys, juvenile character artists, and Geo. P. Mur- phy and Kitty Kursale, the comedy boom- ers. Odd Fellows’ Hall.—Prof. Markos, the Fypnotist_ and mesmerist, will discontinue his weekday seances at Odd Fellows’ Hall. Next Sunday, however. at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. he will give two seances of modern spirit- valism, in whicn he will introduce some of the most startling feats of the best known mediums. Music will be one of the attrac- tions, and among the tests Markos will un- dertake materialization and levitation. His cabinet work is said to be most entertain- irg, and the personality of the medium makes the seances extremely pleasant and enjoyable. The C mbia Carnival. Preperations for the Columbia Athletic carnival received an impetus last evening at the meeting of the executive committee. Progress was reported and the prospects of a successful event were found to be bright and encouraging. According to a re- port on the committee of privileges and booths, there will be interesting features in every portion of the club building. A sample season ticket submitted by the committee on badges and tickets was ap- proved. It was decided to give prizes to the man and wotnan selling the largest number of season tickets. The price of ticket is fixed at $1. A new march, written by Prof. Fanciulli, leader of the Marine Band, entitled “The Athlete,” ard dedicated to the club, was formally accepted. Mr. E. B. Hay, the chairman of the ladies’ commit- tee, expects within the next week to have a complete list of the patronesses and as- sistants. He desires the members of the club to furnish him the names of the ladies who are interested in the success of the carnival and will lend their assistance. The action of the committee on music and en- tertainmert in securing the services of the Marine Band was approved. It was an- nounced that the Saturday night smokers, which were inaugurated last week, will be continued until the carnival opens. ee gen ee Promoting a Railway Project. A meeting was held in Ellicott City yes- terday of the officers and others inter- ested in the construction of the Washing- ton, Sandy Spring and Baltimore electric railway. Those present were James B. Colgrove, president of the company; F. C. Drane, general manager; George F. Chase, counsel; H. A. Cadey, special agent, and W. R. D. Gascoyne, general agent, and the following citizens of the county inter- ested in the enterprise: J. Nicholson Miller, Dr. Wm. H. Hardey, John H. Her- bert, Thomas 0. Warfield, Rev. Fathers Chopins and McKenny of St. Charles Col- lege; John P. Simon, Thomas H. Linthicum, Pulaski Dorsey and Nicholas Warfield. The practicability of the enterprise was discussed. President Colgrove explained that the purpose of the company was to build a freight and passenger transporta- tion line that would traverse country at present devoid of such facilities. He be- lieved the country would undoubtedly sup- port the road. ‘The cost of the road was estimated to be $20,000 per mile. a Special trip, steamer Macalester to Mt.

Qon- All Elements of Oppegition to Unite— Letters From Beniinent People Authorizing Usetot Their Names. The movement to cai} ## national conven- tion at Washington of:all’elements of oppo- sition to the saloon, ander the auspices of the Anti-Saloon League sf the District of Columbia, has received substantial and steadfast sympathy and approval from near- ly all the temperance erganizations of the country. From a iarge number of -letters received by Mr. James L. Ewin, secretary of the committee on calling the convention, the following extracts have been taken. Mrs. C. Cornelia Alford, president of the Non-Partisan National W. C. T. U., says: “I indorse the idea of a convention in Wash- ington, and will gladiy give you permission to append my name to the call. At our con- vent‘on in November we will take action to. insure a representation of our organization at the proposed convention in Washington in December.”* D. B. Bailey, most worthy templar of the Supreme Council, Templars of Honor, says: “It meets my hearty concurrence. I hope the convention will be a success. From Rev. Francis E. Clark of Boston, president of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, comes the amessage: “I approve most heartily the object of your conveution and like the call that you have sent out. I think it covers the ground and is meant to unite all temperance people on a comnon platform. I am quite willing to have my name attached to it.” M. M. Eavenson, most worthy patriarch of the National Division, Sons of Temper- ance, writes: “I cheerfully attach my name to the call, and wish you every success in the good work. Christopher R. Eliot, president of the Uni- tarian Temperance Society, indorses ine of a convention, and will attend the c ; ven- tion, although he has not the authority to commit his society officially to the Idea of a national convention. Bishop Hurst, on receiving the invitation to join in the call, wrote: “I gladly author- ize the use of my name in calling a national convention Bishop Ireland, in acknowledging receipt of the call to a convention, says: “I am heartily in favor of a convention of the kind, and I will co-operate with tae plan of action which it will put before the coun- try. I shall not, however, be able to take part in the convention, and for this veason I do not wish to have my name appendod to the call.” Rev. Joseph James, secretary of the Con- necticut Temperance Union, writes: “I am intensely interested in the proposed national anti-saloon convention, The a:m to cone trate against the saloon pure and simple is, in my judgment, correct. High ideas for ultimate results are all right, but the first thing to be done is to get together. The saloon is always a unit. Its opponents have never really been united to any extent. Iam with you, heart and soul, to do anything I can to make this the grandest convention ever held in its representation and its num- bers.”” Ex-Governor Perham of Maine writes: “I think the call is all that is necessary. I shail be present at the comvention.” Mrs. Ellen J. Phinney, general secretary of the Non-Partisan.Nafonal W. C. T. U., says: “Il am in hearty sympathy with your effort and trust that it! may arouse tre- mendous enthusiasm ih the work proposed.” Aaron M. Powell of: the American Purity Alliance writes: “It.seems to me a timely movement with largw possibilities for use- fulness. I shall be glad:to attend the con- vention. Rev. Howard H. Russpil, state superin- tendent of tne Ohien Anti-Saloon League, makes the very practiosl comment upon the call: “I like the word ‘Omni-Partizan.’ It holds out a friendly hand and includes all’ who are willing to ca-operate.” , Rev. S. A. Steele, imtauthorizing his name to be attached to the aH, says: “I feel as- sured that the Epwerth:League of the M. E. Chureh. South ts heartiy in:atympathy with all jwise plans for opposing: the tiquor traffic and unanimously opposed ‘to’ the saloon, I d@ not feel authorized@'to sign officially for the league; *but-¥ will sign my name individually, ag secretary of the worth League, for a call to this cony tion. I will help all I ean to down the saloon.” Katherine Lente Stevenson, correspond- ing secretary of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union, approves of the call and assures its promoters of her hearty sympathy and co-operation and wishes for the convention the greatest measure of success.

Charles Borcherung, who !s named as a complainant with Mrs. Close, was appoint- ed receiver of tise property of Mr. Close in 1ST, and endeavcred to coliect the alimony. Mr. Close ard Wm. S. Humphreys, it is said, were the owners of some ninety acres of land embraced within the cemetery grounds, and it is claimed that they were to receive a one-fourth interest in the pro- ceeds from the sale of lots. ——.__ We Like to Shock Competitors!
