Henry Ford was the defendant, and he Was charged with assaulting Sarah Robin- son. The result of the hearing before Julge Miller was quite out of the ordinary, for Henry was released from custody and Sarah ordered tnto arrest as the chief malefactcr. It was stated that Henry and Sarah had been living together as man and wife with- ut the formality of a wedding ceremony urti! the applicability of the Edmunds law to the District of Columbia was de- clared, when the former decided to live a life of single blessedness. He thereupon separated from Sarah, but the plan, so it Was stated, did not meet with her unquali- fied approval, and she has been in the bit of paying frequent visits to Henry, fer the purpose, it ts thought, of effecting a recone! tion and resumption of for- mer relations {f possible.

PLAYED AT POLICY Votaries of the Vice Given Severe Sentences. ARRESTED ON THE AQUEDUCT BRIDGE Were Going Over to the Dens in Virginia. DETAILS OF THE CASES — ‘They were a dejected-looking party of eight colored men in Judge Miller's court today, wko had been arrested in George- town for alleged violation of the policy jaw, and there was one colored man from South Washingten who was aimilarly charg2d. The condition of these people was a fair sample of the class who spend thelr herd-ezrned money in the shops across the river, where the Virginia au- thorities make no effort to stop the viola- tions of law. The shops both at Rosslyn and Jackson City are doing a land office business Just now, and the proprietors have been reaping a harvest and getting wealthy on the earnings of these poor col- ored men for a long time. Business 1s £0 brisk at Rosslyn now that the players who are a little late In reaching tie village find it almost impossible to place their money at “headquarters,” and so they hurry over the hills to one of the three other snops. These four sheps are running in full blas| and, judging from the amounts of mon found on those who are arrested from time te time, the earnings of the men who con- duct these particular shops amount to hundreds of dollars twite a uay. There are probably a dozen violators of the policy law in jail here now, and in cffort is be- ing made to reach some of the backers who are in Virginia. Arrested on the Aqueduct Bridge. Yesterday in Georgetown Policemen Bir- kight, Edwards and Trussell spent some time in the vicinity of the Free bridge looking for promoters of the game, and fourteen arrests were mide. On eight of them the officers found policy money, and they were locked up. who were held and taken to court regi tered as James Green, seventy-six years Charles Gcodrich, sixty-two years; Henry Washington, fifty years; Abraham® Johnson, fifty-five y.

This One Dreamed, Too. The prisoners were finally called before Judge Miller, the first one for trial being Henry Rankins, who had been in the toils several times before. He is the driver of an old trap known as a “nightliner," and has been arrested for driving policy men and other gamblers across the river, as well as promoting the low gambling game in other ways. It has been only a few weeks ago that Judge Miller sentenced him to jail, but President Cleveland pardoned him a few days ago. Henry had a dream Monday night, and yesterday he got an almanac, dream’ book and arithmetic, and from them he made up the rows which he intended to play. Then he borrewed 50 cents from his started for Jackson City, cuse, but the clreumstanc he was in the policy business in paying way, and the court held him guilty of the charge.

Carroll Poland, seventeen years old, is wanted at the Laurel Industrial School in Henrico county, Virginia. He was in this city this morning in charge of W. C. Semp- son, superintendent of the school, who was on his way there with the boy from anoth- er part of the state. The superintendent had Poland at the Baltimore and Potomac depot waiting for the 4:30 train, but just before train time the boy disappeared, and a reward of $10 has been offered for his capture. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN — Cavalrymon Entertain’ at a Delightful Concert. — _ The Body of Adam: Fry Found at Last—Genernal and, Personal In- formation of; Interest. ‘The vocal and instrumgntal concert given lest evening at the new administration building at Fort Myer by the Sixth United States Cavalry Orchestra, was quite a suc- cessful affair. The entire garrison was present, and many outside people, some coming from Georgetown, a. special cor bringing them back at the close of the evening’s enjoyment. Mr. John Luchsinger was the musical director and Mr. Herman C. Dingler the manager of the program, After an overture by the orchestra, a vio- lin solo, “Ave Marla,” was rendered by Musician Brassler. Mme. Antonio Dingler- Venerl of the Eldorado, Paris, the soloist of the evening, delivered, in splendid style, a double number soprano solo. Toward the end of the program, she appeared again in a double number. Other numbers were a cornet solo, “My Pretty Jane," by Profes- sor Luchsinger; clarinet solo, “Sounds from Home,” by Musician Humm; quartet of two cornets, trombone and baritone, by Messrs. Luchsinger, Sutherland, Klenke and Coibright. ‘Ihe program closed with an orchestral selection entitled “The Galloping Sixth,” dedicated to the sixth United States cavalry, and composed by Mr, Dingler, The selection has a catchy air and a nice swing, and {3 apt to become popular. After the concert the floor was cleared for dancing, and twelve dances played. Adam Fry's Body Found. February 5 of this year Samuel Fearson, a white man well known in Georgetown, and Adam Fry, a colored boy employed as a walter at Cabin John Bridge Hotel, started to cross the river above Great Falls in a skiff. The water was high and the current swift. They have never been seen alive since they left, though a portion of the skiff, the oars and boat pole, were found drifting in the river at places wide apart, The supposition is that the boat upset and that the two were drowned. This supposition was borne out Monday by the finding of the body of the colored boy about two mi below Great Falls. It was up among a lot of floating debris and very much decomposed. The interment was made as soon as possible after the county coroner viewed the remains, The body: of Mr. Fearson has not as yet been found. ular Young People Married. There was a wedilng Monday afternoon shortly after 5 o'clock at St. Stephen's Church, corner of 25th street and Pennsyl- vania avenue, in which two Georgetown residents were united.

The trial of Samuel Patterson and Wm. Hooks, two young colored men, charged with the murder of Lewis Dade, alias Ma- sruder, also colored, the 3d of last Jan was resumed before Judge Cole in Criminal Court No. 1 this morning. The following were se i sworn as the jury: Jos. shel, T. E. Cowling, F. V. , J. D. Donnelly, J.

He said that about 4 o'clock in the after- roon of January % the two men ted a room in Pleasant alley, betwgen id and 433 and G and H streets southwest, occupied by Rove Miller and Rose Wormley, two young colored women, There Patterson claimed that Dade had a dollar of his. Dade de- nied the charge, when Patterson started out, saying he was ‘géing‘dor an ofilcer. He came back in a fegy mpments, when the quarrel was renewed. Patterson struck Pade! knocking him up against the wall, and they then went out into the alley. There. Patterson again threatened Dade, he latter drew a when small penknife, cei im to keep off.

Will Claim Self-Defense. Messrs, John M. Langston and Thos. 1. Jones, representing Patterson, and Mr. Sam- uel D. Truitt, on bebalf of Hooks, reserved their opening statements, but intimated that they expected to show that Patterson acted solely in self-defense, and that Hooks only handed him the knife to protect Pat- terson. se ‘The Alaskan Boundary. The Senate committee on foreign rela- tions gave brief attention at their meeting today to the question of the Alaskan bound- ary, and decided to recommend that a sur- vey be provided for Portland channel. This channel constitutes a part of the southern boundary of Alaska, and its course and ex- tent have formed a subject of dispute be- tween this government and that of Great Britain. The committee decided to recom- mend that provision be made for the sur- vey in the river and harbor bill, and that $5,000 be appropriated for the purpose. ) MARQUETTE STATUE|MEXICO AND SILVER (Continued from First Page.) where does benevolence show a more gen- erous and kindly face, in public or in pri- vate care of misfortune. Nowhere is edu- cation more ‘avishly applied; and yet, in strict observance of the rule of liberty, ev- ery shade of sectarian instruction, removed from the public schools, is left in unfetter- ed freedom to tae schools maintained by conscience. There, too, home and firesides are the centers of the noblest, sweetest life, the sure and safe foundation of a free, intelligent, powerful state. “Mr. President, no people more intelli- gently understand, more devotedly main- tain, the basic principles of freedom to which their testimony {s thus borne. They believe that upon It rest their peace and happiness. They will defend it, if need be, a any hazard. They as freely accord it to all. “We speak for no single class; we repre- sent no creed; we court no favor, when, for all the body of our good people, irrespective of race or opinion, my colleague and my- self thus declare the sentiment which ac- tuates our state, and supplement the action of its worthy governor in presenting to Congress the beautiful statue of James Marquette, in commemoration of his just renown, and in illustration of ihe light and strength of Nberty among men.” The Statue Accepted. At the close of Mr. Vilas’ speech tho resoluticr accepting the Marquette statue was adopted without division. Consideration of the naval bill was then resumed, the question being on the item of battle ships. THE HOUSE. In the House today Mr. Walker (Va.), from committee on elections No. 2, pre- sented the report on the contested election case of Giles Otis Pearce vs. John C. Dell, from the second Colorado district. The re- port of the committes found that Pearce had received 157 votes, while Bell had re- celved over 47,4 and was entitled to the seat. The report was adopted. The ma- jority and minority reports in the case of Thorpe vs. McKenney, from the fourth Vir- sinla district, in favor of the contestant, were filed; also the report in the case of Hoge vs. Otey, from the fifth Virginia dis- trict, in favor of the sitting member. Mr. Dockery Follows Gorman’s Lead. Bills were passed to establish a term of the district and circuit court at Roanoke, Va.; to establish a lighthouse and fog sig- nal at Orient Point, L. I. During the dis- cussion of the latter bill Mr. Dockery (Mfo.), following the lead of Mr, Gorman in the Senate yesterday, made an attack on the extravagant appropriations of this Con- gress, notwithstanding the deplorable con- dition of the treasury. He called attention to the fact that in 184 the deficiency in the Tevenues was $6Y,000,000, In 1805 $42,000,000, and for the present year it would not be less than $25,00%),000, “That does not include $11,000,000 paid this year for the redemption of Pacific rail- road bonds,” interjected Mr. Ding “The statement of the gentleman from continued Mr. Dockery, “but em- phasizes the inadequacy of the revenues The republican side heartily applauded this statement. “What ts the meaning of this applause?” inquired Mr. Dockery. “It Is the first time that s admitted the inadequacy of the r W.

He ed- mitted tlat the direct appropriations ex- ceed: $548),000,000, but over $50,000,000 was to pay the interest on and reduce the public debt.

A Law That is Held to Forbid Ball Playing Even in an In- closed Lot. ‘The police are now troubled with com- plaints against boys for playing base ball | and throwing missiles. On the other hand, complaints are also made against the police on account of arrests. A number of boys and young men of respectable parentage have recently been arrested for bali play- ing, iocked up in police station ceils and treated the same as if they had been crim- inals of the worst class. Because of this manner of arresting and treating the boys complaints have been made. Maj. Moore has had several confer- ences during the past week with friends or relatives of boys who have been thus serv- ed. During one of these interviews the citl- zen who made the complaint said he thought the boys who are arrested in this way should be taken to their parents’ or guard- s, or warned against a repetition of the In one case the boys had been ar- ed on a vacant lot, the proprietor of the aving given the necessary per- ‘o that no charge of trespass could ’ against them in event of their ar- law, it is claimed, positively pro- hibits bali playing not only on open lot nd in the streets, but also in inclosures ler the act of Congress of 1N2 it is pro vided: ‘That it shal Inot be lawful for any to play the game of foot game with a bali, in any ts, avenues of alleys in the shington and Georgetown; nor shall it be lawful for any person or persons to play the game of Landy, shindy. or any other game by which a ball, stone, or other substance is struck oF propelled by any stick, cene, or other substance in any street, avenue or alley in the cities of Washington and Georgetown, under a pen- alty of not more than $5 for each and every such cffense." While this section deals with games of various kinds, there is another section which deals with the throwing of missiles. This section reads: “That it shall not be lawful for any person or persons within the District of Columbia to throw any stone or other mis- sile In any street, avenue, alley, road or highway, or open space, or public square, or inclosure, or to throw any stone or other missile from any place into any street, avenue, or road, or highwa alley, open space, public square, or inclosure, under a penalty of not more than $5 for every such offense.” The use of the word inclosure in this section, Prosecuting Attorney Pugh told a Star reporter, Includes any inclosure within the District of Columbia. Tnder this section,” he said, ‘te member of the base ball clubs who pla} ball here is iiable to prosecution. The playing of the game is positively prohibit- ed, for the court has held that a base ball is a missile." Judge Kimball said that the question of playing ball in an inclosure had never been raised In court, and while be was of the opinion that Congress never intended to prevent the playing of base ball in the Dis- trict, he would not say how he would con- strue the section referred to if the point were raised in court. He thought, however, that the Jaw was intended to cover cases where missiles were thrown from one place to another, such as where boys throw from the street or other place into an inclosure. The judge said he had held persons guilty in cases where the base ball had been bat- ted from a lot into the street. Maj. Moore was seen, by a Star reporter and asked about the ‘matter, but he did not care to be quoted: He said, however, that he believed in treating the boys kindly and not taking away all their privileges. But so long as the law ts on the statute books it would have to be enforced. jin their vaults. Ex-Gov. Shepherd on the Economic Conditions of the Republic. HIS LEER 10 HMR.

When I first went there the ratio be- tween sliver and gold was 15% to 1. The tirst exchange I bought was at the rate of > per cent in coin silver on a New York draft. Since then, owing to the demoneti- Zation of silver, many changes have occur- red in the rate of exchange. During the famine, which existed the whole period from 1Ns9 to 183, When two-thirds of all the grain used for food in Mexico was bought from the United States, the ratio of exchange ranged from G0 to 9 per cent, and at timed Went as high as 100, “Notwithstanding this, Mexico met all her obligations, paid all her interest, and suf- fered less than any other country.
