All Sorts of Cases Tried Today im the Police Court—The Sen- tences ieted. remarked Bailiff Cole in the Police Court this morning, when Keeper Madigan announced that there were thirteen prisoners in the pen. “['m not afraid of thirteen,” said. the judge, and the baker’s dozen marched in to take their places in line. ‘There were three colored women in the procession and five white men. Rhody Tim- bers, a colored resident, wearing a G. A. R. hat, led the procession, and announced in a determined manner “I ain't guilty.” Policeman McDaniel appeared on the wit- ness stand and entered a complaint of pro- fanity. “The old man,” he said, “had been drink- ing, and when I saw him on Rhode Island avenue he had lost his dog and a bicycle had come near running over him. I found his dog for him and started him home, but he refused to go and cursed.” “What did he say?” “He said: ‘I don't care for any white man,’ and continued swearing all the ay to the box.” iceman Maguire also gave evidence against him. He said that the old man was questioned about his being a member of the Grand Army, and he became angry and profane. The exact language this officer could not repeat. “I did call him a po’ white man,” the old m: admitted. “You say you did say he was a white man?” “A po’ white man, I said,” answered Rhody. ‘A colored man who had witnessed the af- fair on the street appeared in court and volunteered to give evidence in the pris- oner’s behalf, and then the question at issue Was as to the condition of the prisoner. “I had only taken two beers,” sald the old man, “and you know they wouldn't make nobody drunk.” - ‘He was drunk, your"honor,” said the ‘and while in the station he made ch noise that the prisoners couldn't That wasn't noise,” said Rhody; “I was singin’. Judge Kimball was not satisfied with the proof as to his condition, and sent for ad- ditional proof. Edward Toison was on the street with a female late last night, and this morning he found himself in the unlucky procession. “He had a quarrel, and, as usual, a wo- man was the cause of his trouble,” said the officer. “Tolson was very profane, and I locked him _ up.” “Deed, judge, I wasn’t profane,” said Tolson. “The woman asked me to see her to the cars, and I was going there with her when the policeman arrested me.” “Yes, and he cursed for three squares,” Policem.: ramlin said. “I folowed him from id io 7th street.” “I am afraid you will have to pay the fine,” said the judge, and the young colored man went back. McFall Bowen admitted that he was guilty of disorderly conduct, and said he wanted to make a statement. “I was drinking a little yesterday,” said the prisoner to the court, “but I'm a work- ing man, and if you will trust me until Friday I'll pay the fine.” The judge said hg could not trust him, but had one of the officers of the court tele- phone tu his employer. Effie Johnson and Rose Bell were in the Procession because they were unable to control their tongues last evening. Yester- day one of them figured in a case in cour and not being satisfied she renewed the di ficulty and got arrested. “You are fined $5 or fifteen days each.” Emma Harrison gave her personal bonds on a charge of vagrancy. ‘She's been drunk for a week,” was Po- liceman O'Dea’s complaint. I haven't been drunk,” said the woman, ‘but I have been drinking for the chills. Now I am going to New York.” Because of this statement she was re- leased. Threw the Trunk Out. Lest night John Knapp was drunk, and when he returned to his home, No. 2221 W street, he caused trouble. “He threw my trunk out of his house,” complained Mrs. Ida Stearns, “and broke my new $5 hat “An unpardonable offense,” was the at- torney’s remark. “What was your trunk doing there?” “I paid his wife 25 cents a week for keeping it while I was at work.” “I told her to take her trunk away, and warned Ler to keep away from my_ wife and chiicren,” said the man. “She left her husband and two children, and has gone to work at Kozel’s, where she says she drinks nine beers during the day and a whisky cocktail at night.” Mr. Pugin said that Boswell’s wife was in court ready to contradict his statement, but unfortunately she could not be used as a witness against him. “Then you admit throwing out the trunk breaking it?” sir.” ‘ive dollars.’ Thomas Droney, a Northeast Washington Iran who was not strictly sober last even- ing, was In the toils, and when arraigned fer disorderly conduct he answered: “I am guilty, but as I haven't been here for twenty years I hope you will give me a chance. Twenty years ago Judge Snell gave me a chance and this is my first ap- pearance since that time.’ “Why were you drinking?” “I had the chills and had to take black- berry brandy.” “If yeu have made such a good record for so many years you are entitled to an- other chance and may go.” His personal bonds were taken. George Robinson, a young man tramping from Danbury, Conn., to Richmond, Va., was taken from a freight train and charged with vagrancy. “I asked a man on the train to let me ride,” he said, “and then the officer yank- ed me off the car.” He promised to leave the city if released and the court took his personal bonds. egw ar s Concert at the Capitol.

THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, '1896—TWELVE PAGES, Institution for Sick Children Down at Colonial Beach. The “Salt Air Home” for sick children at Colonial Beach was formally opened yester- day for the season, and the event was the occasion of a visit to the home of hundreds of persons-from Washington and vicinity, who have become interested in the institu- tion through the energetic efforts of the worthy president, Mrs. W. G. Davenport, and the board of managers. While, however, the formal opening cere- monies were not celebrated until yesterday there have been a number of little children there for some days, and their ruddy coun- tenances show the beneficial effect that even so short a visit has already been to them. It is the intention of Mrs. Daven- Port and those associated with her in the management of the home, if enough finan- cial encouragement is received (and not a great deal is required), to extend the bene- fits of the institution to poor women, who are well nigh prostrated with their daily exertions to procure the necessities of life, and yet, also, are too poor to pay even the fare to the home. To meet all such cases, as well as of the children taken there, the Chesapeake and Potomac Steamboat Company, the owners of the John Sylvester, have volunteered to carry free any person coming within the classes above mentioned to and from Colo- nial Beach, The managers of the home also propose to receive at small cost hard working girls, who cannot afford an outing otherwise. It is believed that such as accept the offer will be much benefited both physically and morally, as besides having the advantages which accrue from breathing the salt air and getting a change of diet, they will all be brought directly under the influence of the Daughters of the King, who will assist ae Davenport in any way the latter may wish. The home has the warm indorsement of Bishop Paret of the diocese of Maryland, Rev. Dr. John Elliott, Rev. Dr. R. H. Mc- Kim, and all the Episcopal clergymen of Washington, as well as that of ministers of other denominations whose attention has been called to the work. At the opening yesterday Rev. Dr. Elliott made en address, and Rev. W. G. Daven- port offered the invocation. Mrs. Daven- port made a statement as to what was needed to complete the home, and Miss Florence Plant was appointed chairman of a committee to furnish twenty-eight win- dows for the third story, which, when finished, will enable the managers tu ac- ccmmodate many more persons. Dunng the day Miss Plant received con- tributions of money sutlicient to pay for three windows; Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Depew, Mr. and Mrs. John G. Cook and Mrs. Curtis pledged one window each, and toys, books and other things to amuse the children were promised. Among the contributions received during the past few days and just reported were $100 from Prof. Melville Bell, who gave the ground upon which the home 4s built and by which it is surrounded; a valuable driving horse from Mr, H, A. Griswold; the King's Daughters and the Phemus Club, composed of young ladies, have each furnished a room; $0 was re- ceived from the sale of tickets from the steamboat company; Mrs. Weaver gave a valuable cow, while many other and less valuable donations have likewise been re- ceived. ‘The officers of the John Sylvester, Capt. Frederick Posey, Pilot W. L. Skinner, Mate H. B. Post, Purser W. Vorhees and Quar- termaster John Stafford, were, whenever their duties permitted them to do so, un- remitting in their attention to the excur- sionists, and contributed in a large degree to the success of the opening of the home. —— INDECENT CONDUCT. Outrageous Behavior of a Young White Man. During the past few days complaints of the outrageous conduct on the part of an urknown white man in Stanton Park, on Capito! Hill, have been made to the police and yesterday Policeman Gee arrested Jas. E. Dougherty, whom he found with some small girls beneath one of the trees. A citizen had made complaint to the officer, and when the latter reached the tree he found the prisoner Dougherty there with several little girls. His conduct, the police- man said, was most reprehensible, and he placed him under arrest. Dougherty ts about thirty-five years old, and lives on Maryland avenue near the park with his n«cther. Three charges of assault were pre- ferred against him, and the cas heard in the Police Court toda: Three of the innocent little victims were in court today, and they told of the in- cecent conduct of Dougherty. Policeman Gee and Mr. Mills were also witnesses in the case, and the prisoner, in his own be- half, claimed that the girls assaulted him. His. statement, Judge Millers; 4, only made his case worse, and he gave him three years in jail minus three da: EXCURSIO; The Sunday school of Concordia German Lutheran Evangelical Church enjoyed an outing at River View yesterday, which was participated in by nearly every one connected with the school, besides a large number of parents and friends of the chil- dren. A program of recitations and vocal numbers was rendered during the evening. The committee in charge of the excursion consisted of Messrs. Edward W. Koch, Charles W. Botsch, Harry Dimkhorst, F. Imhof, W. H. Veerhoff and J. A. Neihaus. During July, August and September the steamer “Macalester” will make the even- ing trips to Marshall Hall and Indian Head on Thursday evenings, in addition to those every Friday and Saturday. The first Thursday evening ride of the season takes place tomorrow, leaving 7th street wharf at 6:30, stopping at Marshall Hall both ways end returning to the city at 9:30. The steadily increasing popularity of these de- lightful evening rides on the Potomac, with the opportunity of dancing and enjoying the many amusements at Marshall Hall, justifies the management in making the extra trip on Thursday evenirg. Prof. Schroeder's Band acompanies the Loat, and also plays for the dancers at Marshall Hall. On account of the Christian Endeavor convention the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company will, in addition to their regular nightly service between Washington, Fortress Monroe and Nor- folk, put on a day boat, the “Newport News,” which wiil leave Washington on July 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17 at ) a.m., arriving at Fortress Monroe same evening at 6:15 and at Norfolk one hour later. Returning, the steamer will leave Norfolk at 7:30 and Fortress Monroe at 8:30 on July 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 1S, arriving in Wash- ington at 7:15 p.m. The delightful and beautiful Mt. Vernon Park has immediately jumped into popular favor, and the management have arranged for a gala time on the Fourth. In addition to the fancy dancing given by “Little Jack” of White Squadron fame, little Miss Nonie Payne, the baby worder fancy dancer, will also give exhibitions of her skill. A full string orchestra will play dance music all day, thus giving an opportunity to those who care to dance to do so. Fireworks at night will be a feature. It is a delightful ride on the electric cars close summer evenings, and those who have not as yet visited the park should do so. The electric cars at 13% street and Pennsylvania ave- nue leave every hour. For the accommodation of those who de- sire to spend the Fourth at Colonial Beach the Moscley will leave foot of 6th street Fri- day, July 3, at 6 p.m., and the next day, be- ing July 4th, this steamer will leave her wharf at 9 a.m., thereby offering an oppor- tunity of disposing of the day in a delight- ful manner. Several special attractions will be offered for the amusement of the excur- sionists. The Moseley is positively the fast- est and safest excursion steamer that has ever plied between Washington and Colonial Beach—fastest, because she is equipped with the very latest improved twin screw engines, and safest because she is built for the sea. The Moseley draws more than eight feet of water, and the most severe storm or the turbulent, restless waves in their most furious garb would have little or no effect upon this magnificent boat. = Values of Foreign Coins. ‘The director of the mint has adjusted the |- values at which foreign coins are to be re- ceived by United States customs officers during the next quarter.

The “Sojourners’ Home" for colored girls, the object of which was explained in The Star of yesterday, was opened last evening. No formal ceremonies were held, but many of the most prominent colored women of the city. who have taken an interest in the work, were present, and a committee, com- Posed-of Miss Mattie R. Bowen, Miss Ma- mie E. Beckett, Mies Dollie Wilkes, Miss Cicely Payne, Miss Alice Waring and Mrs. Jesse Lawson, were in attendance and ex- tended a cordial greeting to all who called. A number of dorations of furniture, bed linen, towels, etc., were: received, and much more was promised. Miss Bowen, who originated the move- ment which has led ‘to the opening of the home, last night told a Star reporter that she was influenced to undertake the work as the result of hearing an address at the Metropolitan M. E. Church on the aims of the Flor2ace Crittenton Mission some weeks ago. She then realized, she said, that there was no institution here where a strange colored girl could go for a night’s lodging, outside of a police station, and if she applied there she was likely soon after- ward to find her way to the reform school or the work house, and she determined to do what ehe could to bring about a reform in that direction, The home just opened would not, she said, even if eminently suc- cessful, produce large results, but if the hopes of the managers are realized,'a wider field of usefulness will be undertaken. It was, however, proposed, she said, to make the present home a center of influence for good, and whose benefits would extend to a great number of those girls and women it was sought to reach. The name of the institution, ‘‘Sojourn- ers,” was selected as a mark of respect to the memory of Sojourner Truth, a great evangelist among the people of the colored race, not only in this country, but also in Burope and Africa; and in the latter coun- try’ she died about three or four years ago. She was born in slavery, and gave herself the name of “Sojourner” when about twen- ty-five years old, because after she grew up (and through the emancipation act re- ceived her freedom) she traveled from place to place, having no permanent home, but sojourning for a short time in each, and “Truth” beeause whenever she made an address her topic was “Truth.” She was known to scores of the most prominent men of the United States during the latter years of the late war, and her death was generally regretted by the people of her race. ————— POST OFFICE CLERKS. Officers Elected and Delegates Chosen to the Denver Convention. ‘The Washington City Post Office Clerks’ Association held a meeting yesterday to select officers for the ensuing year, and choose delegates to the approaching na- tional convention of the order, at Denver, at which the proposed law in relation to the classification of post office clerks will be the chief business under consideration. Messrs. John J. Croggon and J. J. Shugrue were made delegates to Denver, and will be instructed as to the course they will pur- sue at a meeting to be held next Sund: The regular officers chosen were R.

Scott Monroe, one of the men indicted for alleged compiicity in the frightful assault on Detective Proctor on Christmas day, was arrested in Philadelphia yesterday, and Detective Helan went to the Quaker city, where he identified the prisoner. The prisoner was arrested at the post office by Detective Poll, who found him there en- deavoring to have a money order cashed. His arrest resulted from information sent from here, and Chief Linden caused his capture. He admitted his identity, and also acknowledged that he was in the crowd when the assault was committed, but denied that he took any part in the af- fair.
