Badly Frozen. In a benumbed condition, Mr. Henry Lar- man, fifty-eight years of age, was found yesterday hanging across a barb wire fence near Riverdale, Md. The unfortu- nate man was unconscious, asd Mr. W. E. Blundon, who made the discovery, sum- moned assistance and carried him to a house near by, and then sent for his son, who is employed as a machinist at the navy yard. The latter had his father re- moved to the Emergency Hospital last evening, where an examination showed the hands and feet of the latter to be badly frozen, and it is doubtful if the patient can recover. Mr. Larman was at one time superinten- dent of the Georgetown water works. Of late, it is said, bis mind has been unbal- anced, and it is thought that he wandered away from his lodgings to the place where he was found. iS ee Will Apply for Pardon.

John H. Hatcher, a young man, who thought he might assist the members of Congress in their efforts to settle the finan- cial problem, went in the Capitol grounds yesterday and solicited subscriptions to a book entitled “Silver and Gold.” Whether or not the agent sold any books to members of Congress is not known, but Capitol Policeman Joyce, who saw Hatcher soliciting subscriptions, arrested him. There is a law on the statute vooks which makes it unlawful for persons to en- gage in this business on United States prop- erty in the District. Hatcher was ignorant of this law, and be- cause of this fact Judge Miller imposed only a $2 fine when the case was tried Fow Prisoners to Blelid in= the Police Ooart:: Partners in’ Crime dud Youth and ige om the Same Chmrge—How the Victims:"Fared.

He had tramped on roads in all sections of the country. In the winter he had been scuth ard in the summer he had climbed the ‘mountains of New York and lived in the woods with fishermen and hunt-men. Now he goes no farther south than this city, for here, he says, he fares better than he does in the south. He was only one of miny unfortunate: who had to seek a place of shelter last night, and not one of them was brought into court to participate in Judge Kimball's procession, Lawyers were as plentiful as ever, but the eight prisoners in the procession failed to employ any of them, so that those of the lawyers who want to celebrate tomorrow have to do so on funds obtained from seme source other than Police Court em- ployment today. They Were Partners, Michael Riley and. Thomas Kelly, who have been associates for a long time, were in the procession on eharges of violating the provisions of the vagrancy act. “I’m no vag,” answered Kelly, “if that’s the charge against me.” “And 1 ain't no tramp,” responded Riley. “But they are bums," said the officer, “eud are always drunk when they can get Hauer enough to put them in this condi- tlon.”” “I know them well,” said the judge, “for they have been here often enough.

Next in line was a comfortably dressed and genuemanly appearing man, whose name was given as John Gilmore. Obstructing the sidewalk with his person was the charge against him. He admitied his guilt, and would have been sent to the workhouse had not the clerk suggested that he make a statement to the court. “This is the first time in my life that I've been arrested," said the man. i “How long have you been in the city?” judge asked him. ‘our years,” was his response. “How did you come to get ht?” wert was cold, and when I drank a little it got the best of me.” “And w! him. “I have a letter of recommendation here from Mr. Cummings,” said the victim of strong drink. “This letter certities that you are a sober man,” said the judge, “you seem to have broken the record this time.” The letter of reconimendation, the judge said, was a good one, and as this was his first appearance he would take his per- sonal bond:. off last isky always will,” the court told Other Cases, “Dick” Dangerfield, colored, was in toils because he was disorderly on street last evening.

Ida had been arrested on 18th street, south of Penusylvania avenue, where she is well known: She has been drinking and spending much of her time on the streets lately. as “Thirty days.’ Mary has used bad language in the house of her employer, but as the law says the bad lanzuage in a house must be loud enovgh to be heard on the street, and there was no proof that Mary’s vo ce could have been heard on the street, the charge was dismissed. —— ‘Took Gold Filling, Charles Neale, colored, was arrested to- day by Detectives Garter and Gallagher and locked up for theft.

Sa ROBBERIES 2 RTED. Another Victim of the Bogua Gas Inspector. The bogus gas inspector has been heard from again, making the third complaint entered against him. Arthur Nattans, the druggist, made this complaint yesterday. ‘The three places were robbed on Tuesday, and the fact tnat the young man only operated the one day leads the police to belicve that he probably left the city after robbing Mr. Nattans’ house. A lady’s gold watch and a pair of diamond cuff buttons were taken from the house. The bogus in- Spector was there Tuesday, and members of the family followed hin: about the house and watched him, as they thought. He remained in the house quite a long time, and even went so far as to put new tips on the fixtures. When it was discov- the gas man was not suspected, and it was j met until yesterday that members of the valuables, Mrs. J. Y. northw: worth $30 was stolen from her house Wed- resday. Mrs. E. E. Serfecle complains of the thefi of a gold ring. The ring was taken from a bureau drawer.
