Improvements of Streets Asked and New Members Elected—Mr. Bundy Elected Treasurer. “ Mhe"regular monthly meeting of the Co- lumbia H-ights Citizens’ Association was held last evening in St. Stephen’s Hall, President M. A. Ballinger presiding. The greater part of the meeting was consumed in discussing an offered amendment to the constitution extending the territory over which the association assumes jurisdiction, despite the fact that the rnies made such discussion out of order, the proposed amendments having to He over for a month. However, nothing resulted from the discussion save an abnormal enlarge- ment of the usual brief, business-like ses- sions of the association. The only committees to report were those on stagnant ponds on Sherman avenue and that on heights of buildings. From the first Mr. C. S. Bundy reported that the ponds are being rapidly filled up, and coon will all have disappeared. The health offi- cer has been very active and kind in the matter, he said, although the Police Court has given them little support. From the committee on heights of buildings Mr. James Lansburgh read the building regu- lations applicable, ard said that the Com- missioners will not regard 14th street north of Florida avenue as a business street, so that no buildings higher than the width of the street will be erected in the vicinity. Improvements Asked. The death last month of Mr. Christian G. Schneider, the treasurer of the association, was announced by President Ballinger, whereupon resolutions offered by Mr. Jef- fries, expressing the oss the association and community suffered through Mr. Schneider's death, were adopted by a ris- ing vote. Then, after the chair had stated that an exceedingly large number of the members are in arrears, requiring the ser- vices of an active and untiring treasurer, and after several members had declined the position, Mr. Bundy was elected as such. On the motion of Mr. Leo Simmons, the Commissicners were requested to at ounce commence the grading uf Roanoke, Irving, Yale, Bismarck, Princeton and Howard streets and Sherman avenue, and on the motion of the secretary a special commit- tee of three was authorized to request the parking commissicn to set out shade trees in the section at once upon the grading of the streets. Those who assisted at the entertainment given by the association last month were thanked tnrough a resolution offered by Mr. Meyers. ‘The amendment to the by-laws offered several meetings previous, abolishing standing committees, and providing that the executive committee shail consist of the officers of the association and three other members, one to be appointed from the section west of ith street and the other from east of that street, one north and the other south of Kenesaw avenue, was adopted. Members and Territory. After the following had been elected to membership, Chas. E. Wood, Samuel Bax- ter, C. C. Bryan, John S. McCalmont, Jas. Watson, Mrs. Christian G. Schneider, W. D. West and F. A. Auth, Mr. Bundy gave notice of an amendment to the constitution enlarging the territorial jurisdiction of the association so as to extend to 16th street and Spring road. After much discussion, during which Mr. O'Donoghue and others declared that it would be unwise and astrous to invade the territory of a sister organization, that of Mt. Pleasant, the matter went over until the next meeting, as did an amendment proposed by Mr. O'Donoghue to the effect that no extension of the association territory shall include that of any other association. Upon the motion of Mr. Bailey, a special committee of three was authorized to re- quest the placing of additional lamps on Yale and Roanoke streets between 13th and 14th and on Holmead avenue between Lydecker avenue and Spring road, ani Messrs. Bailey, Jeffries and Meyers were appointed such committee. —— HE PLEADED GUILTY. And Received a Light Sentence for Selling Oleomargarine. Albert E. Hayden, who pleaded guilty lust month of selling oleomargarine as and for butter without stamping it, was today sentenced by Judge Cole to three hours’ im- prisonment in jail and to pay a fine of $50, the minimum penalty. In ‘mposing sentence, Judge Cole said that In view of the fact that the defendant had been engaged in business here but a few months, and that he seemed to have heen encouraged in the violation of the law by the wholesale dealers from whom he purchased the stuff, he would impose the lightest sentence possible. Then, too, the defendant had saved the government great expense by voluntarily pleading guilty. Mr. Hayden informed the judge that he is at the present time unable to pay the fine, Whereupon the court gave him until the ist of August in which to pay it. ‘Come into court.” said Judge Cole, “with the amount of the fine that day, pay it, and then, after staying three hours at the jail, you will be a free man again.” See The Tolman Alimony. In the case of George R. Tolman, whose arrest was ordered the 27th of last month by Judge Cole for failing to pay his wife alimony, Messrs. Barrett and Niles, at- terneys for Mrs. Tolman, have asked Judge Cole to declere the man’s bail bond for- felted, and the motion will be heard by the court next Saturday morning. Several months ago Tolman, who is said to be a Treasury Department clerk, claiming that the Equity Court had ro authority to com- pel kim to pay alimony, refused to pay it. ‘Thereupon he was arrested, when he asked for his discharge on habeas corpus. Judge McComas refused to discharge him, when ‘Tolmin appealed to the Court of Appeals, being released on bail pending a decision by the appellate court. The Court of Appeals sustaiiied the court below, and Tolman still failing to pay the alimony, his wife’s at- torneys asked that he be remanded to jail until he obeyed the Equity Court's order. Judge Cole so directed, but the man left tris jurisdiction, and ts now said to be in Alexandria, Va. That he may be arrested cn forfeiture of his bond his wife's attor- reys have asked Judge Cole to declare it forfeited. ° ed To Enforce Judgment. To enforce a judgment of $190, Jeremiah J.

District Attorney Birney will be requested to investigate the death of William Cullins, &@ colored boy, who died at 407 N street last Wednesday. According to the friends of the boy, who are said to be represented by Attorneys Thos. L. Jones and John M. Largston, he attended a garden party the 80th of last month, and there, it is claimed, Policeman Cooper of the second precinct knocked the boy down, and also kicked him, it is further said. Upon reaching heme the boy became iil, and was the next merning found dead in bed. An inquest was held, it is said, the verdict being that the boy died from the effects of a severe shock or fall. Mr. Birney said today that if the matter is called to his atter.tion he will, of course, investigate the charges, and, should they prove to be well four.ded, would vigerously prosecute the officer. The policeman, it is understood, denies the charges. Se ASSOCIATED CHARITIES. Work of the Organization During the Month of Jung.

The late Richard McAllister, who died suddenly lately, had been a resident of this city for nearly thirty years. He was bern in Harrisburg, Pa., July 13, 1845, and was of the well-known McAllister family, being the fifth Richard in direct line since they came to this country early in the last century. His father, Col. Richard McAllis- ter, was Gen. Grant's chief commissary in the Department of the Mississipp! during the war, and afterward practiced law for many years In this city. His mother vas Cecelia Seton Hoffman of New York. Richard McAllister, though but eighteen years of age In Nove ap- pointed an acting ens > navy by Admiral Porter, and served until the close of the war. He was for a short time a colonel on the staff of Governor Geary of Pennsylvania, but resigned to come to Washington, and entered his father’s office. He graduated at the Georgetown Unive ty Law School in 1873; was admitted to the Supreme Court in 1883, and to the Court of Ciaims in 1888. He practiced local law for a few years, but having large interests be- fore the French and southern claims com- missions, devoted his attention to the pros- ecution of claims before the various de- partments, in which business he was still engaged at the time of his death. He mar- ried in 1873 Mrs. Ellen Rockwell, a dau ter of Maj. Selah Hobbie, by whom he had two children, a datghter and a son. The daughter, Mrs. Reginald Foster, survives him.

Mertz and Mertz, 906 F Street, FIRST MATE ARRESTED She Was a Woman and Ranon a Oanal Boat, Other Cases in the Police Court and the Sentences Inflicted by the Judges. Mrs. Westbrook {s captain of the canal boat “John H. Mertens,” and her daughter Annie, who is a full-grown woman, is first mate. Three days ago the boat reached here from Cumberland>with a load of grain and was sent to Alexandria to unload. When the boat was put in the river yester- day and sent to Alexandria Annie remain- ed in Georgetown, thinking she would spend her time among the boatmen until her mcther returned this morning to start on the return trip to the Maryland coal re- gion. She is a general favorite among the families of the beatmen, and any of them would have welcomed her to their cabins and entertained her until the return of the “Mertens.” Annie had accepted the hospitality of one family and would have remained on the boat last night had she not indulged in several Georgetown ‘“hummers” of beer and then gotten in the hands of 1. C. Bleke, one of the recently appointed police- tren. This explained her presence in Judge Kimball's court this morning as the leader of the procession. “You are charged with having used pro- fanity in a house on K street loud enough to be heard on the street,” read the clerk. “Are you guilty or not guilty?” “Not guilty, I guess,” was her response. “She was cursing and swearing so loud that I heard her nearly a block away,” the policeman's complaint. don’t think I used bad language,” she "m net in the habit of using bud language.” “When were you in court before?” the judge asked her. “She belongs on a canal boat,” volun- teered Bailiff Kendig. “And the boat will leave here today.” “Where's your husband?” asked. “I guess he’s in Georgetown,” was her response. “Will he come for you?” “I don’t know.” “I'll detain you until later in the day end see if he will come for you.” Must Not Swear. During the trial of Henry Brown, col- ored, Judge Kimball remarked that pro- fanity is an offense against the public and pedestrians are entitled to be protected against having to hear such language. Policeman Owens had arrested Brown for the use of profanity in a conversational tone during a conversation. “That may be u violation of law,” Law- yer Martin said, “but it’s just what I have heard policemen say many times.” “I have had my ears tingle from just ch profanity,” said the judge. “Brown is fined $5."" Henson Herbert and George Williams, colored, who had been arrested in George- town for disorderly conduct, admitted that they were guilty and the court imposed the usual fine. “Judge,” said one of the prisoners, “I ain't got that much money today, but if you give me a few days I'll scrape up the money somewhere.” “Unfortunately we don’t give time any mere,” the judge told'the prisoner, “and unless the fine is paid you will have to go down.” Thomas Wise, charged with lying on the sidewalk, admitted his guilt and the usual fine was imposed. “How long have you lived here?” the court the ceurt asked John Taylor, who had been puceated in Seaton Park, he said, for noth- ng. “All my life, twenty-three years,” he answered, “and this is the first time I've ever been arrested.” Park Watchman Davis, who made the arrest, complained that Taylor had been drinking and said he used profane lan- guage “But T didn't use any bad language,” said Taylor. “I had met a lady who lives in my neighborhood, and on our way home tegether we stopped in the park to rest.” The lady, who was with him, gave cor- roborative proof, and told the court that a man on the seat next to them commented cn the officer's acticn. Judge Kimball would not dismiss the charge, but he tcok Taylor's personal onds. Nee 2d Clothing. Robert Miller's wearing apparel had the appearance of having been in a cyclone, and he was willing te go to the work house, where he thcught he might be given some new clothing. “He was begging for money last night,” sald Policeman Harrover, “and I arrested him.” It developed that the young man, -vho had lived in Philadelphia, had been out in the silver country, and he started for the Soest PIMOSSIOSIOS SINCE SCONCE : Prove that the people have an abiding con- ceo PPIPLOLSSIOS PF EDEL IO ISS fidence in the great blood purifying powers o CITY ITEMS. diay Sg eae ft Hood’s Entertzining Any C.

Klinger and a newspaper reporter were standing at Pennsylvania avenue and 7th street. when Brown came along and asked for scme change to get a bowl of soup. “Are you real ly hurgry?” he was asked. ‘Indeed I am,” was his response. ‘And don’t want to buy liquor?” “Don’t drink.” Being convinced that the man was hun- gry, Klinger gave him some change, ard a few minutes jater Brown was on the out- side of a schooner of beer and he was also in the toils. “It’s pretty near time you had stopped this business of drinking,” the judge told Brown, who is an old offender, and sent him down for thirty days. Marshall Mosby, colored, went home last night under the influence of liquor and had @ quarrel with his mother. His language was so bad that Policeman Harrover ar- rested him, and he was fined $10 or thirty lays. Milk has been stolen from front doors on Virginia avenue, and three colored boys Francis Tibbles, Joseph Davis and We: ley Ford—were arrested by Policeman Ver- million.
