HOLIDAY PRISONERS One Way of Oclebrating Fou 1. the Glorious Cases Which Looked Very Much Like Over-Drinking—The Various Vic- tims and Their Sentences, Small boys were having a good time in the vicinity of the Police Court this morn- ing when Judge Kimbull’s court convened, and it was necessary for Policeman Flynn to get an assistant to run the boys away. Although the officcrs made every effort to keep down the noise there was an occasion- a! explosion loud enough to make the pris- oners believe that the building was going to tumble down. There were three dozen vic- tims of strong drink and other causes of trouble, while one female was the victim of nothing but a policeman. Her name is Blanche Pratt, and the policeman who ar- rested her for nothing is named Upper- man. She was on the street last night, and with her was Ames Warren, a colored acquaintance. The officer arrested them, so he said, because of complaint made by citizens. “And it's the first time she has ever been arrested,” said her counsel; ‘and th Folice would not release her on collateral. “I see no reason in the world for her ar- rest,"" remarked Judge Kimball, when he had heard additional proof. “Blanche claimed that I owed her sister said the man, nd I told her that I would pay her if I really owed the bill” But the witnesses say that you were érunk and profane,” the judge told him. “What have you to say about that?” “I ain't cussed an oath since I joined church,” he responded, “and that was two months ago.” “I'm afraid your recollection is defec- tive,” said the court. ‘The witnesses all say that you were drunk and profane, and you are fined $5." Caused by Ice Water. When a colored man named Moses Childs appeared in the toils a policeman told of how he had violated the law by endeavor- ing to sleep on the stone pavement in Mark's alley. Policeman Vermillion arrest- ed him for this very serious violation of an ordinance, and charged that the violation was the result of intoxication. “If you mean that I was drunk you are mistaken,” said Moses. “What was the trouble with you?” the judge inquired. “Only had the cramps,” was his reply. “The weather was hot and I drank too much {ice water.”” “And is that all?" “That's all.” “It's unfortunate for you,” the judge told him, “‘but the officer says you were drunk, and you are fined five dollars.” Otto Johnson, an elderly man, who was next in line, had also suffered an attack of the cramps, and the court suggested that the disease was contagious. Policeman Wortz had arrested the poor old man because he was on the parking on Connecticut avenue, and he had an idea that the old man was drunk. “I'm not a drinking man,” said Johnson, “but when I had the cramps I took some blackberry and git ger, and I was so sick that I couldn’t get home.” “And you say you had not been drink- ing?” “Nothing but the blackberry and ginger,” he answered; “and, judge, won't you take my personal bonds? His bonds were taken, and he was re- leased. William Lawless used lawless language on the street last night, and he was in the procession this morning. “I didn't use bad language at 13th and Hi streets,” he said. “Where did you use it?” didn’t use it anywhere.” “Five dollars.” John Halloran and James Sullivan sat on the curbstone near the government print- ing office at an early hour this morning, and because of the language they used Policeman Evans arrested them. Being short of funds they stepped back. His Lip Cut. “Who struck Fred. Perry?” was the ques- tion raised when the colored man appeared on a charge of lying on the sidewalk. This offense was committed about 1 o'clock in the morning, in Sovth Washington, and Policemen Hughes and Williams arrested him. Fred's lip was cut and his arm wounded. His clothes were covered with blood, and he complained that the club of one of the officers had made the ugly wound. The prisoner had been locked up and had not been given medical treatment, although he was badly in need of it. “I might have tapped him on the arm,” said Policeman Hughes, “but I didn’t strike him on his lip.” Neither did I,” said his brother officer. Tke prisoner kicked me, but I did not use my club.” Both officers said that Perry was drunk, but the prisoner denied this statement. “I don't drink,” he said, “but I was sick with the cramps.” He was fined $5, and the judge told him the fine would have been twice this amount had not he been injured. There were three colored girls, who claim to be Christians, in the court because they had engaged in a quarrel, which had re- sulted in blows. Angelina Spiller and Amelia Spiller, her sister, figured in the case against Lizzie Hensen. There was discussion about a “parlor social,” and the Spiller girls threatened to have Lizzie before the church board for dancing. This caused the trouble, and Liz- zie was roughly handled by her sister church girls. The sisters were each fined $5, and Lizzie was discharged. Last evening the sweet strains of “Hail Columbia,” coming from three young men, Arthur Henson, Walter Talbert and Frank Watson, were not relished by Policeman May, and he arrested them on a charge of disorderly conduct. Fortunately for them they were able to leave collateral for their appearance, and were, therefore, not locked up all night. ‘When Prosecutor Pugh heard the case he had their collateral refunded.

The employes of the Capital Traction Company will give their first annual ex- cursion to Marshall Hall next Tuesday. This is the same organization that gave excursiors under the name of the Wash- ington and Georgetown Company Employes’ Relief Association, and the outings in the past have been highly successful and en- jeyable. The committee in charge of Tues- day’s trip consists of members of the board of directors and is composed of D. P. Moore, president; George Downing, John Schofield, W. Baden, E. Marlow and W. Jones. Three regular trips of the Macal- ester will be made. The usual Sunday trips to picturesque River View will be run tomorrow and the usual large Sunday crowd is expected to visit the View. These Sunday trips are very popular and hundreds of clubs and business men who during the week do not have an opportunity to get out of town take ad- vantage of the Sunday holiday to spend the day away from the heat of the olty on the cool and grassy lawns of the View. On the evening trip numbers go down for the Pleasant ride on the Potomac. The new water chute and other attractions on the grounds will afford amusement to all. The Steamer Pentz will leave her wharf at 11 a.m., 2:45 and 6 p.m., and will return at 1, 5, 7:30 and . The best dinner on the Potomac river can be had in the cafe. There are few spots around Washington as favored by nature for a pleasure resort as Marshall Hall. The Hall forms an ideal spot to spend a warm Sunday, and its quiet coolness proves a wonderful attrac- tion for tired, hot and dusty city folks. Music is rendered throughout the afternoon by Prof. Schroeder’s Orchestra on the band pavilion. The green lawns and shady cor- ners in and around the Hall are especially beautiful at this time of year and there is always a breeze to be found somewhere around the place. The Macalester and River Queen will make the usual trips to- morrow. . The second annual excursion of the 3. D. M. U. is announced for tomorrow at Colonial Beach. The steamer Jane Moseley will be used, and the start will be made at a.m. from Barber & Ross’ pier, at the foot of 7th street. A long stay will be made at the beach, and excursionists will find all the attractions of the place, in- cluding the salt water bathing, in full run- ning order. The John Sylvester will leave tomorrow morning for Colonial Beach at 9 o'clock from the Clyde dock, foot of 7th street. Trips on the Sylvester are enjoyable on account of the comfort and ease to be found on board of the craft. There are no state rocms, and every inch of avail- able space is given up to the use of ex- cursionists. The steamer Jane Moseley will make her regular Sunday trip to Colonial Beach to- morrow morning at 9 o'clock. ‘The Moseley is fast, commodious and comfortable, and the cuisine on board the boat is excellent. Pistorio’s band furnishes music on the trips and the full allowance of time is al- lowed at the beach. For the benefit of Christian Endeavorers who desire to visit Fortress Monroe, Nor- folk, Portsmouth, Newport News, Ocean Viéw, Virginia Beach and the Atlantic ocean, the Norfolk and Washington Steam- boat Company will run a day boat between Washington and these points from July 7 to 17, inclusive.

EDWARD A. McGURK DEAD. He Was President of Gonzaga Col- lege for Four Years. Rey. Edward A. McGurk, S. J., of Wor- cester, ex-president of Holy Cross College, died suddenly yesterday just as he was go- ing in bathing at the Pricsts’ Retreat, at Fair Haven, where scme forty other priests are having a rest. Rev. E. A. McGurk, S. J., was born in Philadelphia October 6, 1841. In 1857 he entered the Society of Jesus. He was serv- ing his novitiate at Frederick, Md., when the war began. The Jesuit college was converted into a hospital for Union soldiers and McGurk was one of the nurses. He was president of Loyola College, Balti- more, for nine years and of Gonzaga Col- lege of this city for four years. He was for two years vice president of Boston College, and in July, 1888, went te Worces- ter to become president of Holy Cross. At the commencement last year he suffered a stroke of apoplexy. ee gg Released on Bail. Chun Kun, the Chinaman who was re- cently ordered deported to China by Judge Cole under the provisions of the Chinese exclusion acts, was yesterday released on bail in the sum of $M), pending his appeal from the decision of Judge Hagner refus- ing to discharge him on habeas corpus. >— Charges Denied. Answering the suit for divorce recently filed against him by Lela A. Fitch, Sidney A. Fitch yesterday filed his reply, denying the charge of systematic and continued cruel and inhuman treatment. He admits that at the time of their marriage he was fifty-six years of age, while she was but seventeen, but he declares that it is not his fault that they do not live happily to- gether. Mr. Fitch alleges that his wife has been seeking other and younger so- ciety, and he asserts that it is her purpose to get rid of him. It is his desire, he says, above everything, to care for and support ~ RR. T.

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS, Complaint Commences Regarding the Garbage Scows. ‘The anchoring of scows loaded with evil- smelling garbage from Washington city in the Potomac, off this city, just below Shep- herd’s, is now going on daily, and between the odors from Mann’s smell factory and the scows the passengers on the steamers passing up and down the river are treated to a variety of smells. When the wind is to the eastward Alexandria gets the full benefit of these scows, as the Washington garbage contractors do not seem to have learned wisdom from their experience last summer, when several of the scows were burned up. The New Engine House. The matter of building the new engine house for the Hydraulion Fire Company, on the lot recently purchased by the city on North Patrick street near Cameror, is giv- ing the committee on public property much trouble. The city council has already ap- Propriated $3,000 to build the engine house, but in order to put up the house wanted it will be necessary for the council to make an additional appropriation of about $3,000. This the committee will ask for before the money now in hand is expended. The plans submitted to the committee by Messrs. Clark & Dwyer are very handsome, but as yet no selection has been made, as the committee do not wish to decide until the committee of the Hydraulion Company has had an opportunity to look at them. Rigging Up the Pole. Messrs. W. B. Dobie, William Travers and other first ward democrats have rigged up the flag pole on Windmill Hill, in prep- aration for the throwing to the breeze a flag bearing the name of the democratic nominees for President and Vice President. The American flag now flying from the Pole is said to be the same that was put up in the Tilden campaign. Notes.

Butler of New York is in the city on a visit to his father, Rev. J. H. Butler. An alarm of fire this morning at 4 o'clock caused about $150 damage.

Every nook and corner of the Blood system is reached by the blood, and on its quality the condition of every organ depends. Good blood means strong nerves, good digestion, robust health. Impure blood means scrofula, dyspepsia, rheumatism, ca- tarrh or other diseases. The surest way to have good blood Is to take Hood's Sursapa- rilla, This medicine purifies, vitalizes and enriches the blood and sends the elements of health and strength to every nerve, or- gan and tissue. It creates a good appe- tite, gives refreshing sleep and cures that tired feeling. Remember, Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is the beat—in fact, the One True Blood Purifier.

LIVELY AND HEARTY. I had a baby that had Erzema in its worst form. I bad one of the best physicians in the city attend- ing ker, but she continued to get worse all the time under his treatment. He finally admitted that he was at his wits’ exd. I then got CUTICURA REMEDIES, and in a FEW DAYS NOTICED GREAT CHANGE in her condition. She continued to improve after that, and TODAY IS ENTIRELY CURED, has nice head of hair, and if lively and hearty. I can fully recommend them as being the best medicines for the cure of this disease. I spent considerable money for drugs and doctor's bills, which was useless in this case, for I think if your remedies don't cure, nothing will.
