Ripans Tabules. * John Bailey, the barber, whose place of . business is at 1102 Michigan avenue, South Bend, Ind., relates, Oct. 26, 1895, the case of Mrs. Anne Craig, a washer- ‘woman or laundress, who lives at No. 451 Witherel street, who bad taken ‘Ripans Tabules for dyspepsia: “From the very first day,”” she said, “I felt less misery in my stomach, and when the first supply was gone I went to the Gruggist and got more, ard have been using them ever since, and very thankful I am to know about them, for I had tried so many things and herbs and doctors without getting better. I had about given up getting anything to help me, but today I can eat quite a large meal and feel no distress, bui before, If I took two or three mouthfuls, I must Walt two or three bours before eating more victuals or suffer in agony."” f Sample vial, 10 cente.

Want Clean Sidewalks, The police of Georgetown have begun a vigorous crusade against property owners who failed to remove the recent snow from thelr pavements within the time specified by law. These warrants were sworn out two or three days ago, and are just being served. In addition to the arrests men- tioned in yesterday’s Star, Mary Harring- ton, Sarah Blundon, Professor A. M. Bell and Mrs. Margaret Donoghue were brought before the Police Court and taxed $1 each. The same charge against John W. Perry was dismissed. A number of warrants were served yes- terday, the cases coming up in_ Police Court. ‘The list embraces F. B. Wheton, Catharine North, Huldah Blackford, Mar- icn Morton, Taylor Burch, Charles War- den, Charles Owens, Chauncey Graham, and two cases against John Leech. Col- lateral of $1 for each case was furnished. M. P. Conference. At a meeting of the congregation of the Congress Street M. P. Church a delegate and an alternate were clected to attend the conferences of Methodist Protestant church- es, which will be held in Baltimore the fore part of next month. Mr. James E, State was elected delegate and Mr. J. D. Cathell as alternate. While the representative of the church is uninstructed, it is possible that the retention of the pre§ent minister, Rev. Dr. W. It. Grahain, will be urged. Chamberlain School Building. That old landmark at 26th and East streets, known as the Chamberlain School, will soon be a thing of the past. Bailey Reid has a permit to tear the structure down and remove the material. The old building was erected in war times, and first used as a barracks for soldiers. Later it’ was remodeled ard turned into a school house for colored children. On account of its dangerous condition the Wormley school building was erected on Prospect avenue for the accommodation of the colored chil- dren attending school there. Noten of Interest. ‘The dance given by the Misses Hutchin- son of 3011 Dumbarton avenue was enjoyed by a large number of invited guests.

Hearing of Cases Resulting From the Recent Ralds, Sunday nights: raid in the “Division” was a complete fatture, so far as convict- ing any one of unlawful Mquor business was concerned, but the action of the police was regarded by the keepers of the houses there as a notice of what the authorities intend to do. The keepers of some of the houses have alreagy told the police that they intend to move out of the city. One of the resorts has already closed its doors for good, while others have closed temporarily fo see what would be the out- come of the hearing of the cases to “If-the women are sent to jail, an officer last night, “ will retire from, business. The fact that the cases had been set for trial in Judge Miler's court today attracted a large crowd to that court Acting Sergeant Shilling of the first pre- cinct, as well as many of the privates in the precinct, were in court, anxious to hear’ the court's decision in the cases, while the social purity organizations were repre- sented in court by Mrs. La Fetra and a number of other ladics, who wore the white ribbon emblem of purity. When the cases were called for trial the gatherirg in the court room was somewhat disapointed, because there was not the anticipated array of females in court. In two of the cases, those of Lottie Tillford and Grace Ferguson, jury trials had been demarded and bond in the sum of $500 given for the appearance of. the women when the cases are ready for trial, and ‘they had left the court building. ~ Mr. Mullowny, for the government, call- ed for trial the case of Georgie Gilmore and four young women, inmates of the house, were called upon to give evidence. It was 2:30 o'clock when the case was called, and counsel were addressing the court when this report closed. It was stated that counsel will make an effort to have the court make a ruling which may disqualify the witnesses. The wor-en caught in the raid will refuse to give evidence up>1 the ground that by so doing they would incriminate themselves urder the Edmunds act. Should the court hold in this case that the witnesses cannot be compelled to tes- tify, and in consequence acquit the de- fendant, the raids on the houses in the future will be more carefully planned and all parties found in the houses, men and women, will have to appear in court. said e rest of them ——_ Physicians’ Permits in Chicago.

An Unruly Drunken Man Has Certain Rig as a Humar Being Even Under Arrest. More than a score of witnesses were ex- amined in the Police Court today in the case of Frank Nicholson and Policeman Vermillion, who figured in a street fight at 8th and K streets southeast Monday after- noon, when the officer arrested Nicholson for being drunk and disorderly. Nichols son, who has served several long terms in jail for assaults on policemen, was very much intoxicated Monday afternoon, and had caused so much trouble in a cigar store that the policeman was sent for. When he reached the scene of the disorder he found Thomas Kuhnert, who is better known as Connors, had him in, charge. He also had been drinking, so he said in court, and the five or six whiskies and beers he had taken had put him in a cor- dition that the officer thought made him incapable of taking care of Nicholson. After the policeman telephoned for the patrol wagon he went over and placed Nicholson under arrest. As he always does, Nicholson resisted, and the ofticer, knowing his desperate character, kept him- self in readiness to resist an attack. The affair caused considerable excitement in the neighborhood and attracted a large crowd. ‘The officer’s club was Drought into play on Nicholson's head, and while part of the onlookers thought the officer gave the prisoner just what he deserved, there were others who denounced his conduct. Charles F. Beers, a member of the Cap- itol Hill engine company, was one of those who witnessed the affair, and he felt so much aggrieved that he went and swore out a warrant for the officer, charging him with an aesault on Nicholson. On behalf of the officer a number of wit- nesses were called. The officer himself said that Nicholson kicked him before he used his club, and he also struck at him. Otbers saw him do the things described by the officer, while others could only say that they saw the motions, and could not say that his foot or fist actually touched the Policeman. Lawyer Turner represented Nicholson, but did not call his client to the stand, for the reason, he said, that Nicholson was so 6runk when the trouble happened that he did not remember the circumstances of the affair. Charles Beers, the fireman, was his most important witness, and he declared the policeman clubbed the drunken man for no reason whatever. Some of Nicholson’s witnesses said that he (Nicholson) hac made no effort to assault the officer before the officer used his club, while others con- taadicted them. The proof in the case was very contradictory, so the court found. The Officer Criticised. Counsel for Nicholson made an argument, in which he severely criticised the officer and referred to the case in which a bullet from the officer's pistol killed a man. He argued that the policeman’s cornijuct was cowardly and that his use of the club was brutal. Judge Miller, commenting on the case, said an officer who sees the law violated is bound to make an arrest and maintain it. However drunk the man may be, ne has no vight to attack the officer, and the latter is net bound to stand an attacl thout re- pelling it. While the officer must be pro- tected, he must not use undue violence to- ward his prisoner. The court said that offi- cers must not undertake to punish their Prisoners, and must not use the club until all other means at their commani have ‘been exhausted. When a policeman uses his club unnecessarily or for the purpose of Tevénge he is guilty of assault. Nicholson, the court said, was not quite so disorderly on this occasion as he usually is, and he was fined $2 on this charge. On the charge of assault, a fine of $5 was im- posed. Lawyer Thos. Taylor then represented the officer in the charge of assault against him. One witness said that Nicholson ha: been disorderly in a pool room, and had run several men out of the room with a chair. The witness, Beers, told the court that he saw the officer strike Nicholson five times, three blows being inflicted while Nicholson was down and two when he was partly up. A witness named Schultz said he saw the ‘officer inflict three blows. He did not see Nicholson kick the officer. Two cther wit- nesses were called, snd the court then dteard the defense. The officer repeated his testimony given 4n the former case. He said that he struck two blows in quick succession, and inflicted the third blow when he saw that Nichol- son looked as if he would eat him (Vermil- lion) up. i ‘Numerous Ugly Wounds, He used his club, he said, in order to main- tain his arrest and to protect himself. De- fendant was asked how he accounted for five scalp wounds on Nicholson's head when he had only inflicted three blows. He said he could not account for them, for he was certain that he had inflicted only three tlews. He said he knew of Nicholson's desperate character, both from personal knowledge and reputation. When he called for the wagon Nicholson was lying on the sidewalk, and the officer could not tell why he did not await the arrival of the patrol wagon and other officers before he arrested Nicholson. Lieut. McCathran testified that when Nicholson reached the station he walked into the station without any trouble, but when he got inside the building he wanted to fight, and it took three officers to get him in the cell. Policeman Hinkel, who was in charge of the patrol wagon when Nicholson was ar- rested, gave evidence concerning his con- duct while in his charge. While Nicholson was in the wagon he kicked at the officers, but none of them struck him. When counsel for the officer had con- cluded his argument, Judge Miller referred to the evidence in the case. If the evidence of the government be true, and Nicholson did not offer any resistance before the clubbing, the officer should be charged with assault with intent to Kill. But the evidence of the defense had changed the condition of affairs. The court referred to the law relating to arrests, and said that trouble was frequently caused by the substitution of the club for other available means. The club is resorted to at times because it is more efficacious than other means. If Nicholson kicked at the officer hoe he (Nicholson) was on the ground the 8fficer could have called assistance and prevented this trouble while the intoxicat- ed man was kicking. Nicholson was guilty of a petty misdemeanor, spa there was no occasion for the use of the club In this way. Comment of the Court. The judge censured the policeman for not calling in the proper assistance and told him there was no sense in his beating the man up in this condition. Nicholson may be a bad character and may be a nuisance to the community, but he is a human be- ing and must be treated as such. The court complimented some of the older officers of the force upon the fact that many of them have never used their clubs on prisoners, and said that nine men out of ten can be arrested without trouble if the proper means are employed. In conclusion, the judge said he was satis- fied from the proof that the blows were in- flicted as a matter of punishment and not in self-defense. “You struck him first because he hit you,"” sald the judge, “and then you anticipated that he would do what he did not do.” “On two other occasions I steered away from this man because I had no assistance,” interrupted the policeman. “You've got no business steering away |. from him,” the court told him. business to steer toward him.” A fine of $25 was imposed. —_—__ Moes’ Refage Watched. TIFFIN, Ohio, March 20.—The house in which John Moes took refuge last night after he had shot his wife and her sister was guarded all night to prevent his es- cape, and this morning showed. no indica- tions of being occupied, and the belief pre- vailed that the man had killed his aged mother, who was in the building with him, and then took hia own life.

HECHT: CO 515 Seventh St. LOLOL LLL LALA LOE LEE ELL LL LMS A“ THE VAN RISWICK ESTATE. Charges and Denials of Undut In- . fluence. In the matter of the estate of the late Mary Van Riswick a caveat has been filed by her daughter, Martina Carr, who alleges that Wilton J. Lambert exercised undue influence with the testatrix, his grand- mother, in making the will. The will was filed about two weeks ago, and devises the property 1413 K street te Mrs. Carr for life, with remainder to her possible issue. Two houses on V street between 14th and 15th are devised to the granddaughters, respect- ively, and a house on 8 street between 15th and 16th streets to them in common. The place known as “Vanview,” near the Dis- trict line, is devised to the grandson. The residue of the estate, amounting to $80,000, is bequeathed in trust, to distribute the proceeds to Mrs. Lambert and to Mrs. Carr, the sole surviving children, then to share alike. Mrs. Carr resided with her mother at the time of the latter’s death. Replying to the caveat filed yesterday at- ternoon in the matter of the estate of the late Mary Van Riswick by Mrs. Martina Carr, a daughter, Messrs. Sheliabarger and Wilson, counsel for Wilton J. Lambert, to- day filed in the Probate Court his answer. Mrs. Carr, in her notice of contest, denied that the will dated February 17, 1891, is Mrs. Van Riswick’s real last will. Mr. Lambert declares, in his answer, that his grandmother’s will was properly and lawfully made and witnessed, and denies that it was procured by any undue in- fluence exercised or practiced by any one upon the said Mary Van Riswick. He also declares that her mind was not in any way constrained thereto. He, therefore, prays that Mrs. Carr’s request that the case may. be tried by jury be ‘dismissed. 4 —— Claims Damages From a Neighbor. Wm. C. Grinder, the owner of premises 468 C street southwest, has filed a suit against Thomas Ruppert and Henry Schnel- der, claiming $1,500 damages because, as he alleges, they damaged his house by ex- cavating under the west wall, April 25, 1895. Attorney Percival M. Brown repre- sents Mr. Grinder. ——-——_ Ambassador Uhl Sails. Edwin F. Uhl, ambassador to Germanye sailed on the North German Lloyd steamer Saale for Bremen Tuesday.
