IvViCTIMS OF DRINK Sad Incidents in the Police Qourt Today. Some Old Offenders and the Charges Against Them—Results of the Trials. “If this morning's session of the Police Court had been held tn the halls of Con- gress,” remarked a policeman,“there would be no trouble in securing the passage of a stringent liquor law, and perhaps a pro- hibitory law.” There were victims of strong drink in the toils, end there was a man in the party alleged te have dispensed Nquid refresh- ments to those who Hye in alleys and who furnish so much of the court's business. ‘Thornton Brown was the name given by this colored man from Fighting alley, and the charge was that he kept a “speak- easy Sergt. Daley was the cfficer in the case, but he did rot have the usual bottles of alley “fire water” to file as exhibits in the case. But he did have two colored women to offer as exhibits, and they testified that they had been in the defendant's house and had purchesed drinks of whisky, for whiea they paid 5 cents. at what the women liad said was untrue.

Docket Clerk Hall Colegate of the Police Court was the chief witness in the case, and his story of his experience iast night proved amusing to the spectators. “I came out of a drug store last night, when I was accested by the old man,” said the clerk. “He asked me if I were an old v and said he wanted three cents; that he had seven centS and wanted to make up the ten for a drink.

And so he does,” said the prisoner. “I took out a corn for him, and he used it for Lait when he went fishing, but he won't use my ence of ninety days, In default of was imposed, The Same Cause. “I'm not guilty this time,” was the re- sponse of George Stuart, whose condition was that of a man who had been on a protracted spree, and who was about to suffer an attack of the delirium tremens. “You're in pretty bad shape this morn- ing,” said Judge Kimball. “I know I am,” sald the victim of strong ‘but if you wiil let me go I'll re- dri turn to the fishing shore at Virginia Beach.” “If I had the slightest idea that you would keep sober, certainly I would re- lease you,” the judge told him. “But you've made so many promises which you have never kept that i'm afraid to trust you. There is an overpowering appetite for strong drink there which I fear you carnot overcome.” Sergeant Daley and other officers inter- ested in the case were very friendly to the young man. They were not anxious that he should be sent to the work house, but were desirous of having the court send him where he could get sober and get the liquor out of him. The judge said that he released the young ‘man not many days ago, as he wanted to attend a funeral, and he was sorry to see that he has gone back to @rinking #0 soon. “Have you sent word to his father?” the court asked. “No, your honor," answered the officer. “I think his father will not interfere in the cas A sentence of ten days was imposed, and the court directed that he be given hospital treatment.

He was extremely nervous, and showed signs of haying been intoxicated for more than one day. The charge against him, however, was plain disorderly conduct. “When I saw him he was seated on a door step,” said the officer, “and being urder the influence of Itquor, I ordered him to go home, but he said he was not in a_hurry and refused to go, and added: ‘You're a — fool.’” “If I said that I don't remember it,” was what Townsend said, “but I know I was drunk.” The usual fine was imposed. ——__ AMONG THE WORKINGMEN. Proceedings of Various Labor Bodies Last Evening. President James F. McHugh was absent from last evening’s meeting of the Federa- tion of Labor, and Vice President Bailey presided. The representatives of forty-one labor organizations answered to their names at the roll call, and much enthu- slasim was manifested during the proceed- ings. Mr. E. M. Blake, chairman of the legisla- tive committee, reported what was done by the committee since the previous meeting of the Federation, comprising a visit to the District Commissioners, with whom was left a strong letter, urging the passage of the anti-contract bill now before Congress; also a visit to the House District commit- tee in reference to the bill. it was announced that a letter was re- ceived from Mr. Leon Tobriner, stating that absence from the city had prevented him from replying to a letter sent him by the Federation in reference to the beer troubles, and that he would attend to the matter at once. Several organizations reported at the Building Trades Council last evening the appointment of committees to act with the Council in reference to making arrange- ments for the proper observance of Labor day, and it was announced that a confer- ence of the various committees will be held and an organization effected at Electrical Workers’ Hall tomorrow night. A communication was read from the two organizations which refused to comply with certain rules of the Council, asking for a detailed statement, and the secretary was directed to reply, and to inform them that the troubles referred to have grown out of the lifting by the Cofincil of the beer boycott. In the absence of President Silver, Mr. 8. A. Waycott of the Steam Fitters acted as president pro tem. — Wimodaughslis Officer: At the last regular mesting Wimodaugh- sis elected the following cfflcers: Mrs. A. M.

A Lady Bicyclist Nearly Run Down by a Senate Mail Wagon. While the great chorus is going up egainst the alleged despotic sway that bi- cyclers are exercising over the streets and avenues, it muy not be amiss to change the tune slightly and call attention to the sublime disregard which those who drive horse vehicles have for the wheelmen and women who happen to get in what they re- gard as thelr course. An instance of this was witnessed yesterday afternoon by an Evening Star reporter, who was a passen- ger on Eckington car No. 52, which passed the city post office at 3:40 or thereabouts. When the car approached Gth street a lady, clad in a brown costume, with hat to match, rode along by the curb of G street, on the south and proper side, at a slow pace. The car and the lady reached the 6th street corner simultaneously, and so did a Senate mail wagon, which was com- ing north on 6th street. ‘The driver of the latter plainly saw the car and the bicycler, but he turned his horse sharply to the left up G street on the south side, and there- fore in his case the wrong side, and only by jumping deftly from her wheel to the curb and drawing it quickly to the pave- ment cid the lady seve herself and her ma- chine from being trampled by the horse, and perhaps seriously injured. All this occurred, as stated, In broad daylight, and The Star reporter looked at his watch when the Senate wagon driver kept en his triumphant way toward the city post office, on the wrong side of the street, and it was 3:40 p.m, The lady was followed at a respectful dis- tance, in order to make The Star reporter's story complete, and she dismounted and entered a residence on F street northwest, two doors north of Ist street.

The employment of non-union men in thi construction of the Gr railroad has precipitated a conflict between the railway company and the members of the Building Trades Council. At the meet- ing of the latter last evening the affalrs the railway came in for a good attention. The report given to the news- papers after the adjournment of the council stated that a committee appointed at previous meeting of the body hed duri. the past week made an examination of the roadbed and trestles on the line. ‘This com- mittee reported that they had found them to be in an unsafe condition, end thac ti was entirely constructed by unskilled labor: that a long trestle at College pond was built in the mud and in consequence hal settled about six inches; also t have been made to up the ioa proper levtl, but the efforts hay “nouns successful. The council voted to call the attention of the authorities to The attention of Chief Stier of the Great Company was today ca the condition of the road, as made to the Building Trades Council last evening, and he replied: “The committee whi ch charged with the investigation of the r. was simply misinformed. The road Ned to the report of has been built in the very best manner through- out and every precaution for the safety of | pagsengers taken. “In reference to the trestle at College pond, it is true that It has settled a little, but the maximum was 2% inches, and this ceeurred five or six months ago, sir which time there has been no change what- ever; and as every one knows, all new roads settle a little when first built. Nor Was the trestle erected in the mud, as charged. Instead of that, we placed heavy timbers and stone fh the swamp which the trestle crosses and upon that sort of a foundation erected the superstructure.

Dr. Gregory’s @alk to the Civic Cen- ter—Cheaper, Gas Might Mean Bigger Profits. Dr. John M. Gregory, president of the Civic Center, im his address to that body Monday afternoon on “Cheap Gas for the Poorer Classes,” said: “It {s not the wish or intention of -the Civic Center to interfere with the property rights or true business interests of any class of citizens; but all experience proves that it 1s a serious mistake to keep un- necessarily the price of any commodity or service of common need and use beyond the reach of large numbers of those who need and should enjoy its benefit. Twenty fam- ilies will use gas at seventy-five cents where only ten can afford it at $1.50. And further, those who consume a little gas at the higher price will, in many cases, burn twice as much at the lower rate. “It was affirmed a few days ago on the floor of the Senate that many thousand families in this city do not now use gas. Let the price be reduced to seventy-five cents and a large proportion of these families would at once commence its use, greatly to the increase of their comfort and safety; while those who now burn it sparingly would speedily increase their nother important fact claims atten- he use of gas for fuel, both for nd warming, introduced in recent © convenient that ure fast becoming s been found yes and ranges rantly frequent.
