Those Who Made Up the Procession and the Amount of Fines They Received. “Rest in Peace” was the inscription on a tombstone, directly in front of which Nellie Fish was found sleeping at an early hour this morning. The stone was in a stone ard just south of the Capitol grounds, and ie would have rested in peace until morning had rot Policemen McGraih und Schraeder found her. There she was lying on the fragments of stone, using William Walker's coat for a pillow, while Wiltiam was not far away enjoying what he thou was the sleep of the innocent. The weath- er was cool, but the pair had been using a Uquid which was calculated to -airly rexst them, and they cared not for the weather. 4. was about 1 o'clock when the entered the stone yard and aroused the two sleepers. Walker pleade] hard for his compenion, and although she was nervous and suffering from the effects of over-in- dulgence in strong drink, she was able to do a Little pleading for herself. But her plead:ng was in vain, for the officers ar- rested both William and Nellie and esco-t- ed them in the patrol wagon to =he sia- tion, where they were put in adjoining cells, but they were too weary to continue talking, and so they enjeyed a nap until the driver of the prison vehicle appeazed and called “Maria.” They were the leaders of the carly mern- ing procession in court, and when 4 ed as vagrants Nellie answered have proof that I'm not a vagrant, because I go to the Central Union Missio: And I'm a working man,” said Walker. vhat were you doing there?” the court asked him.

Vhere do you live?” was the question the man was asked. “I live out in North Sth and H streets,” “And I street,” 3 itficers. st Washington his res e. been Hving on East Capitol added, “and for more than e been working at the Central Union Mission.” “You had no business in another man’s stone yard,” the court told Walker. “If you are a working man and have a home your place was in your home last night.” They were given ten days each the tarm in default of bond. Needed Treatment. (ar Poor Anule Foley, a little woman who is a victim of strong , and who has vir- tually lived in the workhoise during the past ten years, occupied a seat in the cell with Nellie Fish, and when the hot coffee was passed around she wanted the pot and all. “Please give me anther drop of the hot coffee,” she pleaded after her allowance appeared. “I'm going to have a chill, indeed, Iam, Mr. Flynn,” she said to the big policeman. ‘The latter had heard the same plea any times before, but Anne's condition was worse than it had ever been before, and so she was given another dose of the hot li- quid. “And now.” she said to Officer Madigan, the prison keeper. “I want a pipe, and I'll thank you for a little tobaceo. When Annie stood at the rail in couct she was suffering from a severe chi “What's the maiter with h asked. “She's got a chill,” was what the bailiff the court sal “These officers say she is putting on,” said Pollceman Qualis, who had made the arrest. “Indced she is not putting on,” said Pros- ecutor Pugh. “She has been coming here for many years, and this is the first time I have ever seen her in this condition. ‘She needs a drink of g90d whisky,” vol- unteered Lawyer Smith, “and I'll buy it for her if the court will permit her to nave it. ‘This woman needs hospital treatment,” sald the court. -“This is not the place for her. Soon afterward she was in the wazon on her way to the Washington Asylum. To Be Investigated. Charles Fowler, eighteen years old, who has only one leg, and Frank Fowler, his brother, who is three years his junior, were in court as vagrants, because they had been found begging on the street. “They were on opposite sides of the street begging from door to door,” said the officer, “and were doing the street for all it was worth.” hat have you to say for yourselves the defendants were asked. We are brothers,” sald the older of the defendants, “and are from Joliet, I.” Where are you going?” ‘To Baltimore. Why did you come here?" We came over from the main line of the railroad at Washington Junction,” he an- swered, “so we could get a chance to wash our clothes In the river He said his parents are dead, and he lived at the home of his grandmother, Mary Kenny, who lives less than two miles from the Joliet penitentiary.

They were held for thirty days, and in the meantime their story will be investigated. In South Washington the clam cart men do business all night, if customers are plentiful, and it is not an unusual thing for the midnight customers to engage In fights. This morning about 1 o'clock there was a clam cart at 2d and C streets, and George Cailahan, who patronized the hoiel on wheels, got in a fight. He was still drunk when he appeare in court, and his condi- tion showed that he had probably been worsted in the fight. “I heard these men cursing and swear- ing,” said the officer, “and when I spoke to them they got more disorderly than they had been before. Cailahan, I learned, had trouble with the clam man, but I did not itness that scrap.” red, I did have trouble with him,” said Callahan. ‘I ate five clams and re- fused to pay ihe man for ten. When I would only give him the nickel, he struck me. I'm gateman at a railroad crossing, judge, and I don’t trouble anybody.” His companion admitted that he was guilty of the charge. They were fined $% or fifteen days each, and, being short of cash, they stepped back. Other Cases. The character of some of the whisky soid in South Washirgton fs calculated to make the drinker of it violate almost any law. James Brooker had an experience with some of this “fire water” last night, and he was loud and profane befcre he could get out of the saloon. “He was £0 loud that I heard him on the street some distance from the saloon,” said the officer “Five dollars Joseph Gill, a colored man, was in the toils on a charge of destroying private property at his own house, it béing alleged that he broke the front docr. “The witnesses haven't answered,” said the prosecutor, “and I move that the case be dismissed for want of prosecution.” “What Is the case?” the court inquired. “His wife swore out the warrant,” the policeman said. “I understand that when Joe went home there was a man in his house with his wife, and that was why he broke open the door.’ ‘The defendant was discharged. George Davis brought up the rear of the procession of District offenders, and it was charged that he had been found begging. “Bailiff Cole knows this man, your hon- or,” said Mr. Pugh, “and he will tell you what he knows about him. ‘I've seen him begging,” sald the bailiff, “and he’s even begged in our own church.

Judge Miller said this morning that he had concluded that it will be necessary to establish a bicycle court if the number of cases of violating the bicycle regula- tions continues to increase. There was one case in court today in which the ques- tion at {tsue was a contest between horse and bicycle. The driver of the horse was Mr. George L. Bgtsch, and the charge against him wes ériving over the cross- ing at 9th and F streets at a rate of speed greater than a walk. Policeman Boice, who was complainant in the cuse, told of the occurrence. He was or duty at 9th and F streets yesterday a few minutes after 4 o'clock. when’ the street was crowded. Mr. Botsch came along and his horse was trotting. The officer called his attention to the speed of his horse, but the driver only made his hcrse go faster. He says he misunder- stcod the officer. Thomas Kearney, a bicycle rider, had reason to be serry for Mr. Botsch’s failure to understand the officer, for the carriage was driven against him and he was knock- ed off his wheel. Mr. Botsch was fined $1, and there was no charge against the wheelman. Bicycle riders charged with riding their wheels across intersecting streets at a rate of speed greater than provided by law, but who did not do any Gamage, were fined ten times the amount imposed on the driver of the horse, and were put in the dock until their fines were paid. Paul Vincent and Fred. Taylor were these victims. They are bicycle instructors, and last night on Pennsylvania avenue th- were riding fast, as they were watching a rew invention. “It is about time that bicycle riders had learned that this fast riding is not going to be tolerated,” Judge Miller said, “and when one or two severe fines are imposed it may do some good. Although the fine in each case was made $10 the judge said that if the offense is repeated too frequently some one will have to pay the highest fine, $40. Henry De Poilly and Gus Bruett were tried for not having lighted lamps on thetr wheels. Their lights had gone out, and they had not discovered that they were violating the law until they were arrested. They were fined $ h. Charles Alfred paid $5 for riding his bicy- cle on 9th street at a rate of speed in excess of that allowed by Jaw, while Max Falk paid $1 for riding on the sidewalk. In the case of Paul Vincent the defend- ant’s bieycle was accepted as collateral at the time of his arrest, and he appeared in court for trial without causing the police any trouble. — RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. Closing the Work of the Colored Wo- men's Lengue. After the close of the report of yester- day’s proceeding of the National League of Colored Women ,as published in The Star of last evening, Dr. Rebecca J. Cole of the committee on resolutions submitted ar port which indorsed the work of the Wo- men’s Christian Temperance Union, and terdered the co-operation of the league to rid the world of evil; denounced lynchings and demanded the age of laws by the various state legislatures which will pre- vent the crime; favored the work of the At- lanta University in collecting statistics In relation to the sanitary and social condition of life of colored people livingin large cltie: asking the National Federation of Colored Women, which meets here next week, to appoint a committee of seven to meet a similar committee from the National League to consider the advisability of a union of the two bodies; favoring the high- er education of women of the race, and in- sisting upoa more practical acquirements and more thorough preparation, morally and intellectually, by those who want to become teachers and leaders; indorsing the proposition to erect and promising to assist in the building of an orphans’ home and industrial school, to be located in ‘he southern states or the District. which con- tributes the largest sum toward the erec tion of a monument to John Brown; com- mending the decision of Justice Harlan of the Supreme Court of the United States for Kis course toward the colored peeple, and condemning the action of the management of Storer College at Harper's Ferry, in de- priving the colored patrons of the summer facilities of Lincoln Hall.

The papers have recently published numerous illustrations, which were so ridiculously absurd that I was inclined to consider them as jokes perpetrated by the reporters, but actual facts show they were not. For instance, within the past twenty-four hours, here, in the city of Washington, one man explained it as meaning that he could take one gold dollar to the treasury and for it get sixteen silver doliars! Another explained it by saying that it meant that the government would give each person sixteen silver dollars! It is exceed- ingly mortifying to know that such dense ignorance actually prevails in the United States, but it is a fact, nevertheless. The republican party and all others in favor of an honest dollar will see from these facts the necessity of an educational cam- paign. W.

Although there are no complete estimates in from the various camps of the legion throughout the country, it is thought that there will be at least 25,000 in attendance upon the encampment, which {s to last three days. Word was received recently from General Callahan, senior vice com- mander of the legion, that he would be in the city the coming week to make arrange- ments for the accommodation of the Buffa- lo contingent, which is expected to be very large.

The meeting of the Confederate Veter- ans’ Association last evening was a partle- ularly lively one, as a result of a discus- sion of the action of the association's del- egates at the sixth annual reunion in Rich- mond early this month. At a meeting of the association held about six weeks ago Mr. John M. Hickey was named as the rep- resentative of that body on the board of trustees of the Confederate Memorial As- sociation. At the Richmond convention, however, a number of the local delegates got together, and when nominations were called for they presented the name of Mr. W. A. Gordon, and the nomination was ratified. At the meeting last were adopted reaff preference for Mr. Hickey, and directing the president to furn: him with the proper credentials. Nevertheless, it {s claimed that 2s Mr. Gordon was elected in open corvention, the matter will have to remain as it is until the reunion next year, unless the present incumbent should with- draw. evening resolutions ing the association's —— The Gonzaga Lawn Fete. The second night of the Gonzaga Col- lege lawn fete, in progress on the college camipus next to St. Aloysius’ Church, open- ed with almost as large a crowd in atten- dance as on the first night The decora- tions were all in place, and added coior and brilliancy to the scene, elthough they had been jected to quite a drenching during the night, and the booths presented an animated scene. Buyers were plentiful and the feir ones in charge of the different tables had their hands full attending to the wants of prospective customers. All of the refreshment booths did a land office bi ne! and the dancing pavilion was crowd- from the time the orchestra struck the strains of the first waltz. The special attractions, such as “shoot- ing the chute,” the merry-go-round and the different tests of skil! in throwing a base ball accurately, were well patronized, and the crowd was not only large, but Hberal in the extreme. The committee in charge has set its hopes on $10,000 as the figure to be raised by the affair, and there is good prospect of that expectation being realized. This evening the attraction es- pecially announced is the representation of an Irish village, to be given in a tent ad- jacent to the prize table. Special attrac- tions have been engaged for rext week, and each evening will see something new in the line of attractive events.

He Thinks Mr. Parker's Appointment @ Matter of Congratulatio “The republican convention recently held at St. Louis,” said Mr. Perry H. Carson to Star reporter today, “differed in two essen- tial features from the other conventions that I have attended, 1.e., in the compara- tive certainty of the nominee for President and in the significant lack of enthusiasm among spectators and delegates alike. There was the same pushing, jostling crowd,there was the same bebel of voices, the same crash cf music, the same display of inter- mingling colors, but enthus!asm—the real, live article—was missing. “It looked like too sure a thing. I arrived in St. Louis several days before the con- vention assembled, and wish to go on record as saying that during my stay in the city there was no proscription of my race or my- self; In fact, I was treated right royally by the pcople, regardless of coior, and shail ever entertain pleasant memories of my visit. Mr. Gleeson, my colleague, arrived several days after, and I sought him out for the purpose of reaching some understand- ing in regard to the disposition of the dele- gation on committees, ctc. We had not talked long before 1 was convinced that we could not agree, but tried again the next day, unhappily, with the same result. Mr. Gleeson named several gentlemen for thé national committee, among were Frank Conger and Chas. R. Dougiass. I did not think Mr. Conger was the man for the place, and I dissented. After he had named Douglass he refused to stand by him, when I agreed to support him. As a counter-proposition I named J. W. Bell, . Cook and Dr. Purvis; Bell, because he was elected by the people of the District as my alternate, and the others on account of their well-known ability and high char- acter. He would not agree to either, and the dead-lock was on. “The matter then went to the national committee, when it was, on motion ef Sen- referred to a subcommittee. When such reference was made I was sat- isficd that my chances were on the wane, that I was hopelessly beaten, and I bowed to the Inevitable. From the knowledge of the situation that I had at hand, I was sat- istied that Mr. Myron M. Parker would be selected as the District member of the na- tional committee, and I wish, through the courtesy of The Evening Star, to heartily congratulate him thereon, and to conzratu- late the national committee on the excel- lence of iis appointment.
