This morning the case came up in Judge Kimball's court, and the judge had the defendant's employer ring the bells in court. “The law was never intended to cover any such bells as these,” remarked the court. “There was no loud noise caleu- lated to disturb the public, and the case is dismissed.” “Aad the policeman who made the arrest is deaf,” remarked Mr. Pugh. “I doubt if he could hear the noise, but I suppose he could see the movement of the bells.” “That's about as bad as arresting a deaf and dumb man for profanity,” added the court. ———— Kalights of Pythias Installation.

Beebe put the division through a most rigid drill and in- spection, after which he complimented the d.vision very highly on tts showing. After being instalied, the new officers all made Te- arks, pledging themselves to Capt. Yost's support, so Union Division may be made the leader of the un‘formed rank of this regiment, as Union Lodge, its mother, is the leader of the lodges. Retiring Capt. Gill admon‘shed the members to give the same support to the incoming captain us given him, and the'r ambition would be Tealized this term. Maj. Beebe reminded the division of the prizcs that would be of- fered at Minneapolis next August for drill- ing, and sa‘d he wanted some division of his command to capture at least one, and hoped it would be Union Division, No. 8.

THE FENCIBLES’ FAIR Arrangements Completed for the Opening Next Monday, + An Array of Pretty Girls to Help the: Soldier Boys—Gen. Miles to Formal- ly Open the Eatertainment. Preparations, conducted on an extensive scale, are fast being completed for the fair of the Nationa! Fencibles, to open next Monday evening in National Rifles’ armory and to continue through the two weeks fol- lowing. The executive committee in charge of the enterprise and the ladies who are to assist have been particularly active for months past, and the result of their ef- forts is expected to be an event of unusual brilliancy. The majority of the military organiza- tions, athletic and boat clubs of the city have already accepted the invitation of the Fencibles to visit them during the fair, and those directly concerned state that they have every reason to hope for a substantial finarcial success. E The object of the coming fair is to fully arm and equip the organization, and the generous response made by the merchants and citizens of the city has demonstrated a gratifying sympathy with the aim of the Fencibles. While the end in view is a financial suc- cess, the fair committee deciares that it will endeavor as far as posstble to give value received for money expended, and to carry out that determination many rew methods have been adopted for disposing of valuable articles at but small individual outlay. At least one hundred of Washington's charming matrons and pretty girls have promised their assistance in the undertak- ing, and the ladies of the various booths have held a number of meetings with a view of adding to the attractiveness of the fair room. One of the features of the fair will be a daily paper called “The Fenc!- ble,” and it is to differ from the usual program and advertising sheet in many re- spects. “The Fencible” will contain each evening clever cartoons of the members of the company and of visi-iag organizations. Lt‘eut. W. W. Mortimer will pose as ¢litor- in-chicf of the paper, with Capt. C. 8. Do- mer and Lieut. Lee B. Mosher as associates. Mr. Clifford K. Berryman is the cartoonist, while Mr. Joseph G. Steile has the business management in charge. The general fair committee consists of Cc. S. Domer, chairman; W. W. Mortimer, vice chairman; J. A. Butler, general inan- ager and secretary; W. F. Carruthers, as- sistant secretary: W. E. Baum, treasurer; c. F. J. Graff, J. C. Kondrup, J. C. Me- Keever, S. C. Redman, ©. &. Sessford, L. B. Mosher, W. E. Crist, T. H. Hall, J. F. Lochrey_and J. G. Stelle. Capt. Domer, the chairman of the com- mittee, is a well-known business man in this city. Mr. J. A. Butler, the secretary and general manager of the fair, has been a member of the company for six years, and fs at all times to be fecund where hard work is to be done in the interests of the organization, and naturally at the present time he is the busiest member of the com- mittee. The treasurer is Mr. W. E. Baum, who has always been identified with the company matters pertaining to finance. Mr. J. G. Stelle, who is in charge of the business management of the fair paper, has been associated with the newspapers of the city for a number of years, and is a charter member of the Fencibles. He Is a hard and conscientious worker, and has at all times labored for the good of the command. At the close of the fair some one pur- chaser of a season ticket is to be presented with a handsome horse and trap, valued at $750. This outfit has been seen on the streets for several weeks past, and has been much admired. The fair room will be decorated in an un- usually handsome and attractive manner, and every effort will be made to present a scene surpassing anything heretofore at- tempted by the company. Gen. Miles, it is expected, will formally open the fair Mon- day evening. The Booths.

How the Carson Invincibles Carried the Day—Possibility of More Than One Demonstration. A dark cloud that seems portentous of discontent, dissatisfaction and all sorts of dreadful and terrible things hovers over the Prospective celebration of Emancipation day. It is a well-established fact among the colored population in Washington, or at least that portion of it which takes an active interest in the affairs of the race, that the 16th of April is an occasion which calls forth all the enthusiasm and pent-up ex- uberance of the multitude, and, naturally, there is great rivalry as to who will par- ticlpafe as central figures in the parade, which fs the great event of the day, and receive in no small degree the stirring plaudits which break from the throats of the spectators. : Some weeks ago various individuals who have attained prominence among the col- ored part of the community concluded that, as the elections were over, it would be op- portune to begin the preliminaries for cele- brating Emancipation day. Some one, ac- cordingly, issued an invitation for each col- ored organization in the District of Co- lumDia, secret, beneficial, social, benevolent, religious, political or associated with the trades to select three delegates to meet on a stated day at the old hall of the Gallilean Fishermen, No. 316 Pennsylvania avenue. Whether there was any general response to this invitation on the part of the organiza- tions in question can never he known to a certainty, but that one of them responded with alacrity is a fact, patent and potent. This was none other than the Perry H. Car- son Invincible Club. e The Invinctbles on Hand. Its members are for Perry H. Carson for everything in sight, civil or religious, elec- tive or appointive, first, last -and all the lime. Being composed of such warm ad- herents of the popular “colonel” and hav- ing gained a largely increased membership by reason of the triumph of its patron saint at the recent republican primaries, the Carson Invincible Club was compelled to have, on account of its size, many branches. There is a branch in every as- sembly district, and in some two or three and in every town in the suburbs is an- other. When the invitation to the con- ference mentioned above was issued, each branch of the Carson Invincible Club promptly proceeded to choose three dele- gates in accordance with it. When the day of the gathering arrived a cloud of Carson Invincibles settled down onGallilean Fisher- men’s Hall and hived around Col. Carson, who was naturally there as the king bee. No other organizations were represented, so the mecting was adjourned to the fol- lowing week. The next meeting day was one of the cold ones, and again only Car- son Invincibles were on hand. According- ly, another adjournment was taken until one day last week at Mount Carmel Church, and as further delay was out of the question the Carson Invinctbles pro- ceeded to make their name good by organ- izing the meeting by electing Carson In- vincibles officers, and with much enthusi- asm and a charming unanimity declaring Perry H. Carson chief marshal of the Emancipation day parade. But the Carson Invincibles reckoned with- out their host when they imagined that Carson would go bounding along the ave- nue, April 16, on a steed that pranced and curvetted to the inspiring strains of “Marching Through Georgia,” played by the Pickaninny Drum Corps, without op- pcsition, for it has already come, and a duly incorporated association possessed of @ seal that is faithfully placed upon all its papers, archives, documents and corres- Rondence now comes defiantly forth and declares that Col. Carson has no right to usurp the important functions of chief marshal of the Emancipation day parade. Claims a Monopoly. The name of this combination of men and methods is “The Emancipation Celebration and Historical Association of the District of Columbia,” and its seal, after stating this fact, further informs the reader that it was incorporated May 7, 1895. The or- ganization was formed just after the cel- ebration of last year. In a letter to The Evening Star Mr. R. Halliday, who signs himself president and secretary, declares that the association “is the only legitimate body authorized to celebrate the emancipa- tion on the 16th of April.” He further requests that no contributions toward such celebration be given to any one except the duly accredited agent of the Emancipation Celebration and Histor- ical Association of the District of Colum- bia. Thus. it will be seen that the asso- ciation claims a monopoly of the right to celebrate Emancipation day. There is no telling what the future will bring forth. The Carson Invincibles have a peculiarly powerful way of carrying out their inten- tions. On the other hand, the Emancipa- tion Celebration and Historical Association is incorporated and has a seal, and the In- vincibles have never bucked up against such a combination before. THE G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT. Arranging for a Public Installation of the New Officers. At the third session of the twenty-eighth annual encampment of the Department of the Potomac, Grand Army of the Republic, last evening, considerable business of an important nature was transacted. The first matter disposed of was the electibn of del- egates and alternates to the national en- campment at St. Paul. The choice was in favor of Messrs. J. H. Reeve, H. S. Linker, George Parker and H. M. Bennett for dele- gates, and Messrs. Edward Webster, J. ‘Tyler Powell, G. H. Slaybaugh and A. H. Frear for alternates. j The consideration of recommendations of the special committees appointed to exam- ine the reports of the standing committees was then continued. In regard to the Sol- diers’ Home of the District of Columbia, located on Missouri avenue, a resolution was passed, after much discussion, request- ing that the board of managers of ‘the insti- tution appoint as superintendent a man who is an active Member of the G. A. R. After it had been voted to hold public installation of the newly clected department officers, a committee to arrange for the ceremony was appointed, consisting of Messrs. A. S. Taber, N. M. Brooks, G. H. Slaybaugh, Calvin Farnsworth and Peter McGirr. The reports adopted were those of the de- partment commander, the employment com- mittee, the relief committee, the council of administration, the medical director, the department historian, the committee on fraternal relations among posts, the chap- lain, the judge advocate; the department in- spector and the chief mustering officer. A long debate followed on the recommen- dation of the council of administration pro- viding for an increase of the per capita tax from 60 to 70 cents per annum. The recom- mendation was finally defeated. The encampment adjourned to meet again Saturday evening, when it is expected to take a final adjournment. The business to be considered will include the report of the committee on resolutions, and also that of the committee on the public installation of the newly elected officers. ————__ Marciage Licensen.

Addresses im Commendation of the Work and-Methods—The Elec: tlom ef Officers. ‘The Columbian Kindergarten Association]: held ite annual meeting at the Columbian University yesterday afternoon. Commis- sioner Carroll D.’ Wright, the first vice president, presided, and a number of other Prominent people were present. Rev. Dr. Wallace Radcliffe, Rev. Dr. Ennis and Mr. Simon Wolf made eloquent addresses com- mending the associatton and its work of endeavoring to spread the knowledge of the kindergarten with a view to free public kindergartens in connection with the public schcol system, and Mr. B. Pickman Mann, the recording secretary, read an instructive Paper on kindergarten work. Dr. Radcliffe said he had taken an active interest in the Kindergerten movement in Detroit, and that he was in most hearty sympathy with similar work in this city, and desired to promote tne association’s efforts in the line of the thought of the man who “loved God and little children,” and with a view to that day when the whole world would become “as little children” in the kingdom of God. Dr. Ennis described from his ex- periences in New York the great necessity of kindergartens for preventive work with children, giving a number of interesting anecdotes and illustrations. Incidentally, in speaking of the foreign element in the sluras of New York, he mentioned, among others, the Russian Jews, and when Mr. Wolf followed him he took occasion to say that the Russian Jews were here throuzh no fault of their own, but because they were victims of tyranny, and also that they were being cared for by the American jews. A Practical Charity. He said that the Jews of New York had raised one hundred and sixty thousand dol- lars, by a fair, for the education of the children of the refugees from Russia, and that thousands of them would now be found in the great schools something like Kindergartens, under the direction of Mr. A. S. Solomons, formerly of this city, than whom, he said, no nobler man lived. Mrs. Stevens read the report of the executive committee, showing how successful the work of the model free kindergarten, and of the lecture course on kindergartens at the Columbian University, under the direc- tion of the association, had been, and the audience applauded her allusion to the fact that the board of school trustees and Superintendent Powell had heartily approv- ed, in official reports, the association's idea that kindergarten schools should be part of the public school system. Mr. Wright Presented the regrets of President Whit- man of Columbian University that he could not be present, and his warm expressions of sympathy with the purposes of the as- sociation. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted in the choice of the following principal officers: President, Mrs. John G. Walker; first vice president, Mr. Carroll D. Wright; recording secretary, Mr. B. Pickman Mann; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Samuel E. Stevens; treasurer, Mr. Henry B. F. Macfarland, and executive committee, Mrs. Lucius Tuckerman, Mrs. F. E. Chadwick, Mrs. L. S. Doolittle, Mrs. John Cropper, Mrs. B. L. Hailman, Mr. Simon Wolf and Dr.. William T. Harris. Mrs. Phebe A. Hearet was elected first hon- orary vice president, and the secretary was directed to send her an expression of the association's regret that she could not con- tinue as president, and its appreciation of all her generous ‘services to it. —_.__ MAJ.

Maurice Davis’ Claims He Was Illegally Kept in Jail, Probability of Another Attempt to Hate Policeman Vermillion Indict- 4 for Killing Dempsey. Mr. Joseph Shillington, counsel for Mau- rice Davis, the young man who claims to have been illegally imprisoned by Warden Leonard of the District jail, stated this morning that while it is probable that Davis will sue Mr. Leonerd for false im- prisonment, the matter has not yet been finally determined. Davis, it will be re- called, was one of three men sentenced several days ago by Judge Cox to pay a small fine for assault and battery om Po- Hceman Vermillion last September, the oc- casion of the shooting and killing of Tim- othy Dempsey by the officer. Davis was sentenced to pay a fine of $10 or be impris,. oned fifteen days in jail in default. The fine was not paid until about 2 o’clock the afternoon of that day, and Davis claims that, although the order for his release reached the jail shortly after 5 o'clock the same afternoon, he was not released until between 9 and 10 o'clock the next morning. Claims He Was Unfairly Det: ed. His contention that he should have been liberated the moment the order for his re- lease reached the jail is concurred in by Mr. Shillington, who stated today that he is confident Davis can recover damages against Warden Leonard for detaining the man in prison after the receipt of the order of release. Mr. Shillington thinks the sult against Warden Leonard will be filed in a few days’ time, although, he explained, he will do nothing in the matter until so di- rected by Davis. In this connection, it is said that the friends of Dempsey will renew their efforts to secure an indictment against Policeman Vermillion for the shooting of the young man. The jury in the case of Davis, they claim, decided that the arrest of Dempsey Was unauthorized. From that they argue that Vermillion killed Dempsey without warrant of law, and they will insist, it is said, that the district attorney shall seek te have him indicted, notwithstanding the fact the preceding grand jury ignored the charge against the policeman. Davis, it* is said, called upon District Attorney Bir- ney yesterday for the purpose of urging action in the matter, and it is not im- probable that witnesses in the case will again be summoned to appear before the grand jury.
