Police Court Cases Considered and Decided Today — The Town Overrun With Tramps. It is rumored that George Baier, whose dead body was found by a hay stack on the Hayfield farm, in Fairfax county, on the 30th of November, did not commit sui- cide, as was at first supposed. His friends say that when he left home Thanksgiving day to go gunning that he had on several very handsome and valuable rings, and that when the body was found they were gone; therefore, they suspect foul play. The matter will be thoroughly investigated. Police Court. | The police report the night as being cold and snowing. Two prisoners and thirteen Wodgers in the station house. Mayor Thompson this morning disposed of the following : Alexander McGowan, a white “hobo,” arrested by Officer Atkinson, charged with being a vagrant, was ordered to leave the city within the hour or be put on the gang for ninety days. Jos. Adams, colored, arrested by Officer Howson, chargcd with disorderly conduct; dismissed for want of evidence. Henry Cheshire, charged with stealing a pistol from Al- fronzo Arrington, was dismissed, as the evidence did not show that he had taken the pistol. Will Have a Conference. ‘The committee on public property will, in a day or two, have a conference with the committee from the county board of super- visors in regard to the court house and jail property,which is owned jointly by the city and county; and it is possible that some harmonious action will be agreed upon. It will be some time before the county court house will be removed from this city, as but a small proportion of the county peo- ple are In favor of it. The city wants to build a new engine house on the property for the hydraulion fire engine. Overflowing With “Hobos.” This city has been overflowing with tramps for the past two or three weeks. There is rot a night that from fifteen to twenty and once in a while as high as thirty-five of them do not apply at the station house for lodg- ing. They make a practice of going from house to hovse begging, and frequently when refused alms become insulting. Ou several occasions they have been bold enough to walk right in the house when they found the door open and help themselves. The jail would not begin to hold them if they were sent down. At this season of the year they enjoy being sent to jail for the winter, for they know that there is nothing for them to do but eat and sleep; but If they had to work hard, say many citizens, the city would be speedily relieved of their presence. Taken to the Penitentiary. Sheriff Palmer of the county left Tues- day for Richmend, having in charge the colored boy Albert Hawkins, who at the last term of the coenty court was sen- tenced to eighteen years in the peni- tentiary for an attempted assault on little Sadie Sherier, as mentioned in The Star at the time. ’ Hawkins was turned over to the prison authorities about 4 o'clock. By gocd beravior in the prison Hawkins can get about two years off his sentence. A Funeral. The funeral of young Walter Caton, the ten-year-old son of Mr. J. R. Caton, whose death was mentioned in The Star, took place last evening from the home of his parents, on North Columbus street. The deceased was an exceptionally bright little fellow, and Mr. and Mrs. Caton have the sympathy of the entire community in their bereave- ment. Notes. Snow began falling here last night at about 8:30 o'clock and continued through the night, and it is still snowing. About two inches have fallen. Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, yester- day received an invitation to attend the Columbia carnival in Washington last night, but owing to the short notice the veterans were unable to attend. A colored woman applied to the mayor this morning and asked him to have her husband buried at the city’s expense. He died last Monday morning. The Junior German Club will give a ger- man tomorrow night at Odd Fellows’ Hall, on North Columbus street. Capt. K. Kemper, superintendent of pub- lic scheols in this city, yesterday visited and inspected Lee school. Mrs. Louis C. Maus and sister of Phila- delphia are the guests of Mrs. John A. Marshall, on Wolfe street. Rev. Berryman Green, the new rector of Christ Chureh, arrived in the city today with his family, and made their home at the rectory of the church, on Washington street. Miss Courtney Norton, accompanied by Miss Nellie Waller of Stafford, has return- ed from a tw2 weeks’ visit to the Atlanta ex) ition. ‘The steamer Belle Haven, which has been undergoing repairs in this city, resumed her trips on the ferry line yesterday.

TAUGHT BY EXPERIENCE —_+—_ —_ Mr. Desmond Fitzgerald of Boston, cne of the civilian members of the engineer board appointed to determine the best plan of increasing the water supply of the Dis- trict, delivered a lecture at Willard Hall last evening on the water supply system of Boston. He is the resident engineer and superintendent of the Boston water works, and is generelly recognized as one of the ablest hydraulic engineers in the country. His lecture was given under the auspices of the beard of trade, and Mr. S. W. Wood- ward, president of that organization, in- troduced him to the audier:ce in a few well- chosen words. The hall was well filled, de- spite the irclemency of the weather. It was a highly intellectual audience, includ- ing Gen. Craighill, Col. Mackenzie, Maj. Powell and many other local celebrities, and rot a few ladies. The hall was cold and cheerless, and the auditors were com- pelled to wear their overcoats and shawls throughout the lecture. Despite these drawbacks, however, the lecturer was given attentive consideration to the close of his remarks. Old Rome. As a matter of fact, it was more of a talk than a lecture, and was almost entire- ly free from technicalities. With the aid of a series of lantern slides, Mr. Fitzgerald described briefly the salient points of the water supply system of Boston, and kept his audience in good spirits by his numer- ous apt and humorous comments. In open- ing his lecture he adverted to the antiquity of the building of water works, and spoke especially of the Roman aqueducts across the Campagna. He pointed out the defects of that system, as shown in the ruins, but said that we must still take off our hats to Rome, as, despite the antiquity of its wa- ter works, we have made but comparative- ly slight advances in that respect, and are still far frum perfection. In view of our experience and modern facilities, it was still a matter of surp.ise to him that we bad made so little advancement in hy- draulic engineering. Modern Defects. Mr. Fitzgerald told of the defects in the water supply systems of London, Paris, Hamburg and other cities, and the lessons to be drawn from their experience. Paris had suffered a severe epidemic of typhoid fever before it was aroused to the necessi- ty of improving its water supply system. In Hamburg during the cholera plague the death rate reached 8,000 per month before the authorities realized the necessi- ty of improving its water service. He attributed the immense number of deaths and the cause of the epidemic to the impure drinking water, and said that the horror might have been averted if the Hamburg authorities had expended the money that was required to filter the wa- ter of the Elbe. “Where sanitation and hygiene are in question,” said he, “the expenditure of money Should never stop until the difficul- ty is entirely overcome.” Not Wasted. He said it was the height of folly to ne- glect any necessary improvement to the pub- lic water service because of the expense, as money expended in that way protected the health of the people and was never wasted. Brief reference was made to the water sup- ply systems of the leading American cities,in the course of which the lecturer pointed out the superior natural advantages of Chicago, Washington and other cities having a ural water supply at their doors over New York and Boston, which had to produce their supply by the creation of artificial lakes, ete. He spoke in especially compli- mentary terms of the natural water facili- ties of Washington, and also expressed his admiration for the comprehensive aqueduct em inaugurated by Gen. M&gs from the inee of the river to the distributing reser- voir. Pure Water. According to Mr. Fitzgerald, the primary object of a water system is to secure a supply of pure water, and in this connec- tion he took occasion to compliment the work which has resulted in diverting the polluted drainage of the surrounding coun- try from the Dalecarlia receiving reser: voir of the local system. It is impossible to provide a supply of good water, he said, if it can be contaminated by drainage from the surrounding country at any stage of | its progress to the city for distribution. works of Bcston, and the many obstacles that had been overcome in their construc- tion. Briefly he pointed out some similari- ties between the Sudbury aqueduct of the Boston service and the Lydecker tunnel conduit, but purposely refrained from ex- pressing any opinion in regard to the ad- visability of the use of that tunnel in se- curing an increased water supply for the District. He did say, however, speaking generally, that it was always the aim of the engineer to secure the best results from the smallest outlay. The Boston water works have cost over 425,000,000, and are generally regarded as a model worthy of imitation. One feature of their administration referred to by the speaker was that microscopical examina- ticns were made of the water at each of the reservoirs every day to ascertain its condition, with special reference to animal organism, When it was found that the water in any of the intermediate reser- voirs was unfit for human consumption because of the presence of animalculae it was diverted into another channel. These examinations were made every day at the different reservoirs, and served to prevent the introduction of contaminated water into the city supply. In his opinion, money was never wasted when it served to pre- serve the health of the community. > — AT GRAVE ANGRY ROBBERIES. ‘A Kansas Mob Threntens the Medical College at Topeka. Recent revolting grave robberies in To- peka, Kan., have aroused the people to the highest pitch of indignation, and last night a mob began forming in the streets, the avowed purpose being to burn the Kansas Medical College, in which during the past three days the bodies of three well-known women have been found. Both had been stolen from their graves soon after burial. The governor called out the state militia at "Topeka. The police learned in the afternoon that there was a movement on foot to assemble a mob to sack the institution, which is lo- cated at 12th and Taylor streets. In the evening the faculty of the college called upon the police for protection. The students were all sent home and a large squad of policemen was detailed to guard the college building. A detail of militiamen from battery B was stationed at their arsenal to prevent a capture of the arms stored there. Upon the request of the sheriff the governor ordered the infantry company at Lawrence to be ready to respond to a cal] at any moment. All the A. O. U. W. lodges met to de- nounce the outrage and demand a full in- vestigation to discover the ghouls. The Mob Disperses. Late last night the mob, on the advice of officials, dispersed. Great indignation pre- vails throughout the city that the authori- ties Of the college should permit the rob- birg of graves when they could secure bod- jes-by paying expressage. The Untted Work- men resolycd not to employ in their families any of the physicians connected with the college, and denounced Gov. Morrill for calling out the militia.

At about 1:30 o'clock yesterday Robert Brown, elias “Henry” Brown, was crushed to death at E. G. Gummell’s quarry, oppo- site the “Three Sisters,” through the fall of a mrss of loose stone. The hill had been “shot” the night before, and no one had realized that the overhanging mass above the workmen, as they yesterday hauled cut the stone from the “fall,” was hanging ty the weakest attachment. It crashed down above the heads of Brown and Laurence Woody. The latter, through a miraculous backward jump, escaped death, receiving only a crushed foot and in- jvred leg. Brown caught a great rock on his head. It struck the crown, mashed and broke the skull and exposed the brain. Dezth came instantly. The remains were brought to Georgetown by Capt. David Robir-son on the tug Mohler; and thence carried to the seventh precinct morgue. Varicus workmen at the quarry came along to register themselves as witnesses to the accident. Bzown's brother arrived later, and requested that the remains be turned over to him after official action had been taken in the case. Laurente Woody was scent to the Emcrgency Hospital for treat- ment. After the fatal accident the man- agers began to carefully examine the quarry to dislodge any further loose rock. A man was hauled up the face of the great wall of jagged rock by a rope worked from the top of the great stone hill. He took with him an iron bar of sufficient strength to werk out other masses that had been loosened by the blast of the night be- fcre. After conference with the District coroner, the police authorities here were ad- vised to notify the Virginia officials of the affair, that they might conduct an investi- gation to find out whether the fatality was due to accident or negligence. The result of the investigation was a let- ter from "Squire Birch, sent to the seventh Frecinct this morning, in which it was stated that evidence showed plainly that it was the cutcome of pure accident. No charge of negligence could be sustained. The District ceroner being notified to this effect, the rel- atives of the dead man were allowed to take the remains in charge. Deceased lived with his family in Mont- gomery county, near Cabin John bridge. He was forty-five years of age. Woody, who had his leg injured by the same fall of rock, is twenty-eight years of age. Weddings. A quiet, pretty wedding took place last night at 1554 35th street, the contracting parties being Mr. Edgar C. Blackman and Miss Dora Ballenger, both of Georgetown. Rev. Dr. Lewis of Mt. Tabor M. P. Church officiated. Many handsome presents were given the couple. Later there was a recep- tion, at which the following were present: Mrs. Ballezger, Miss Cora Ballenger, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Blackman, Mrs. Samuel Blackman, Mrs. Dale, Mr. and Mrs. Cruit, Mr. and Mrs. Starlings, Mr. and Mrs. An- drew Blackman, Miss Ada Smith, the Misses Folster and Messrs. Wm. C. Fis- cher, Jas. H. Hunter, T. Poole, Robert Stil- ions, Wm. Biackman and Campbell. At the Congress Street Methodist Prot- estant parsonage last night Mr. Richard Young of Georgetown was married to Mis Mollie E. Young of Montgomery county Md. Rev. Dr. Graham performed the cere- mony in tke presence of the members of his family and but two or three outsiders. Mr. and Mrs. Young left later for Atlanta, from which place they will go to Florida, returning here about January 1.

Whether or not an active opposition is to be kept up against President Griswold of the Anacostia Rail Company by the members of the organized labor s ties will be determined, it is stat ed, by officials of District Assembly ‘ the meeting of that body tonight. Report will then be made by : Fenton, chairman of the executive board of the Carriage and Wagon Makers’ As- sembly, of,the negotiations so far conducted between himself and Mr. S. G. y. Su- perintendent of the Herdic Phaeton Com- pany, for the purchase by D. A. 66 of six cre-horse herdics. Mr. Eberly stated to a Star reporter that the herdies have been effered to the District Assembly at a low figure as they stand, and a somewhat higher rate if they are put in an attractive condition. ‘The fare boxes which were some days ago removed from the coaches now being ceperited between Anacostia and the navy yard terminus of the cable line have been restored to their former place, but the pay- ment of far> Is optional with the passen- ger. It has been decided that it would not be entirely advisable for Master Workman Thomas J. Lawrence of the Street Railway Assembly to resign his present position as a conductor for the Metropolitan Street Railway Company in order to assume the active management of his line, but he will continue to occupy an advisory position in reference to the running of the line. Mr. A. D. Best of Brooklyn, N. Y., who is now conducted with the headquarters of the Knights of Labor in this city, in talk- ing to @ Star reporter, said he was confi- dent that Mr. Griswold stated a fact when id that the Anacostia Railway Com- is not able to pay its drivers $1.50 per, as demanded by the Street Railway Assembly. He had, he said, given the sub- cejt some study since the matter was brought to his attention, and while he was confident that the road is in the financial ecndition desecmbed by Mr. Griswoll, he was sure, he stated, that this arose from at- tempts to pay interest on a bonded indebt- edness which seems te him to be surpris- ingly large for the length of the roaa.
