Craig & Harding made an assignment the 27th of last February for the benefit of their creditors, has petitioned the Equity Court to distribute the funds, with an allowance of a dividend of 25 per cent already paid by him. Therefore, he asked that the auditor of the court state the accounts and report upon the funds. collected. “Mr. Woodard states that he has so far realized the sum of $s, out of the assets. He is repre- sented by Attorney A. A. Birney. aS Se Richmond Monument Controversy. To the Editor of The Evening Star: 1 would not trouble you or “Mississippi” with any further remarks were it not for yeur publication of the latter's unjustifiable insinuation that I would “resurrect the charge that Jefferson Davis was captured in female attire,” which charge “Mississip- pi” says only “a few political vampires” Lave given currency to. I regret all the more that he himself should have given “currency” to it in your paper. But after all the “vampires” above referred to do not stend alone. Mr. Davis, in his work, “The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Govern- ment,” vol. II, page 71, gives “currency” to the charge in the following words: s it was quite dark in the tent I picked up what was supposed to he my “raglan,” a water-proof light overcoat, without sleeves; it was subsequently found to be my wife's. * * * As I started my wife thoughtfully threw over my head and shoulders a shawl.” * * © But I made no reference to that whatever. I simply said that Jefferson Davis ran away from his capital while it was still be- ing defended by Lee and his gallant army. I had read of Day gallant conduct in Mexico, and it still seems to me that the absence of the hero of Buena Vista and Monterey at such a crisis must have had a terribly depressing effect upon the boys (es, and old men, too,) in gray wigg4 tood up in the last ditch.

IT WAS CALM TODAY But the Next Day Will Be the Glorious Fourth. : Police Court Cases and a Presenta- tion to Big Policeman Flynn— Only Four Cases. Michael Flynn, the big polceman who olds down the crowd of loafers at the Po- lice Court and ‘“‘vags” those who appear every day and occupy the front seats, is the happy possessor of a blackthorn cane which was brought here from Ireland. His Irish friend called on him at court this morning and made the presentation speech in presence of a number of the policeman’s friends, and hoped he would use the cane in line of his official duty as “court bouncer.” The policeman, whose heart is as big as himself, made a witty response, and told of how he would use his stick to keep down the crowd, and in this duty he will not spare those who claim to be legal lights, many of whom spend most of their time in and about the temple of justice. “Jackey” Maloney, one of the policeman’s admirers from Jackson alley, has heard of the latter’s good fortune in getting a cane direct from County Cork, and he is now longing for the time when Flynn may have an opportunity to touch him with the stick, for he is certain it will bring him good luck. “Jackey” is at liberty now, and this morning he was a disinterested spectator. But unless he breaks all records he will soon be in again, for when at large he cannot keep sober, and will insist on doing a song and dance on a street corner or in front of a police station. Calm Refore the Storm. In Judge Kimball's court there was an unusually small party in the pen, and a policeman predicted that it was a calm before a storm. There were only four prisoners in the procession, and one of the quartet had walked into court of his own volition. He was Edward Gray, a man about sixty years old, who nas served in the army and who had been given a good home at the National Soldiers’ Home, but he was fond of liquor, and so he lost his home there. “You are charged with vagrancy,” read the clerk. ‘‘Are you guilty or not guilty?” “I'm sorry to say I’m guilty,” was the man’s response. “This man is an old soldier,” said Police- man Madigan, “and this morning he came} here and asked to be sent down until pen- sion day, saying he had lost his place in the home. When he gets his pension money he says he is going to leave the city.”” “Well, Gray,” said the court, “what do you want me to do?” “Give me sixty day: was his response, “and then I am going to leave town.” “I know how much you will go. When you get your pension money you will get drunk and spend it.” “Indeed I won't,” said the unfortunate aan. “I will leave the city as soon as I get my money.” “You may have the sixty days.” Wiiliam Figog, an able-bodied man, also a victim of intemperance, was in the toils on a charge of vagrancy, and he was as anxious e get out as the former prisoner was to get in. His clothing consisted of an old shirt and pair of trousers, in which there was dirt enough to grow vegetables. He was bare- footed, and the police suspected that while ke was under.the influence of liquor he was relieved of his foot-wear by a companion. “This man,” so- Policeman Coghill said, “lives in a barber shop near Pennsylvania avenue and 3d'street, and for several weeks he has been hanging about the numerous saloons near the Capitol, drunk.” “What has been his conduct other than drinking?” “He's been begging and spending his money for rum,” was the policeman’s an- swer. “Only yesterday somebody gave him @ quarter and he spent it in a saloon.”” : “Where are your shoes?” the prisoner was asked. “I was out with a shoemaker,” he an- swered, “and took them off to have them mended. Then I took several glasses of ous and where my shoes are J don’t now Other Cases. The court thought he needed a rest, and gave him fifteen days on the farm. Tom Green, a Georgetown colored boy, was next in line, and the charge against him was vagrancy and suspicion. He had been arrested because he was stéaling a day's lodging in a vacant house. “Tom broke the lock on the back gate of a Delaware avenue house yesterday,” Po- liceman Coghill said to the court, “and was found sleeping in the house.” “I had been out at the brick yard early in the morning looking for work,” the boy said, “and on my way home I went in this house.” “Some boys threw water on him,” said the owner of the house, “and when jhe was aroused he seemed to be lost.”” “What about the broken gate?” “He broke off ttre lock getting out,” was witness’ answer. “When he went in he jumped over the fence.” The court thought the boy had entered the house for no unlawful purpose, and released him on his personal bonds, with a warning to keep out of vacant houses in the future. Mary Hall was the fourth member of the quartet called, and her husband, Henry Hall, was also charged, but he had been released on collateral, and had not appeared. Policeman Cochran told his story of the arrest. The woman's husband was under the influence of liquor and in endeavoring to get him home she talked louder than was necessary. But the officer admitted that she had used no profanity. Mary told the court that she went in search of her husband and found him sitting on a fence with a woman, and she thought he was kissing her. “If you say I was kissing that woman Ill slap you,” was what she sald her hus- band said to her, and when she said his = was very close to her he slapped at er. Her personal bonds were taken. ——__ A Church Outing at Bay Ridge. A merry party from St. James’ Church, Capitol Hill, enjoyed the cool breezes at Bay Ridge yesterday, where they went in a special car, through the courtesy of Mr. S. B. Hege.

James McCracken, a young white man, employed as a driver by Mesers, Curtin and Butts, the foundry men, was quite painful- ly, 1f not seriously, hurt yesterday after- noon by being run over by the wagon which he was driving. He was driving the wagon down Wolfe street, loaded with heavy iron frames, whcn some of the load slipped, and the rattle occasioned by it scared the horses, causing them. to run gway. The horses, with their load, ran into the Baltimore and Ohio freight yard, where the wagon came in contact with a pile of lumber, throwing the driver off, and the wheels passed over his legs near the abdom- inal region. The injured boy was picked up and carried to his home on Wilkes street, and Doctors Snowden and Purvis sum- moned, who found that his leg was badly fractured below the hip joints. He also received internal injuries. The young man’s condition is qot so favorable today, he having spent’ &very bad night. Colambia Fire Company Meeting.

This morning Chief Clerk Sylvester of the police department swore in twenty-six of the newly appointed members of the force, two of them being colored. In doing so, the chief clerk took occasion to give them some sound advice. He advised them that they should always bear in mind the fact that they are policemen, and told them they could only earn promotions by their efficiency. In starting out as policemen they should avoid the use of rum on all occasions, and especially should they re- frain from the acceptance of free drinks from saloon keepers. When they have done that, he told them, they lose their in- fluence and strength as officials, and cer- tainly this manner of putting themselves under obligations to the liquor dcalers should be avoided. A man who drinks and carries a revolver, he said, is just as liable to kill a man as is a doctor who attempts to prescribe for patients when he is under the influence of Mquor. Those who were appointed yesterday may be sworn in this afternoon. See Ho! for the Jolly Fourth! Fireworks and dancing at Mt. Vernon Park, July 4. Cool and shady. Cars, 1312 and Pa. ave., every hour.

Pe W.- ‘Putnam’ of: Faits Church brought into The Star. office this morning scme r2markable stalks of oats that grew on his farm about five miles from Wash- ington. The bunch measures just six feet in length, and is perfectly developed. The grain is in the milk, but well filled, and an acre of such oats ought to go not less than sixty bushels. © Mr. Putnam has about six acres, and he is cutting them this after- noon’to feed in the'skeaf. What.the seed is he does not know. He bought in George- town what he suppcsed to be ordinary Diack oats, and March 30 sowed them on ground that last year brought a good crop of corn, and the year before was in pota- tees. Not a particle of fertilizer was put on the land this year. The whole field of oats stands about six feet high. os Bicyele | Violations. Four cases‘ of violations of the police regulations relating to bicycles were called in the Police Court today.

If Mr. William Holmead holds his chin higher than usual for the next five o> six weeks and walks with something of a strut his friends must not think he is putting on airs, for it would be pretty herd for even so sensible a man as Mr. Holmead not to evince pride and happi- ness at such an entertainment as that tendered him last night by his friends. Holmead Manor in all its long history has been the scene of many festivities, but it is probable that its experience could not produce a more pleasant occasion than that. The gathering was peculiarly @ congenial ons, being composed exclu- sively of Mr. Holmead’s most intimate friends, who assembled to wish him good luck on his coming journey to Chicago as a delegate to the democratic convention. There was not the least political signifi- cance in the occasion, however. The com- mcdious lawn was given up to the event, and was covered with well-filled tables lighted with Chinese lanterns. During the evening speeches were made by Au- gust Smith, William ‘Dickson, F. C. Schlaich, George Emerich, F. W.
