This morning in the Police Court Law- yers Wilson and Barksdale, counsel for William W. Winfree, the contractor recent- ly convicted of violating the eight-hour law, filed a motion for a new trial, and also a motion in arrest of judgment. In the motion for arrest of judgment the rea- sons set forth are: 1. Because the verdict fs contrary to law. 2. Because the verdict is contrary to the evidence. 3. Because the jury ignored and excluded from their consideration evidence which it was their duty to consider. 4. Because the court committed errors in its rulings during the trial against the de- fendant’s objection, and to which excep- tions were duly taken. 5. Because the court erred in refusing certain instructions to the jury and giving others; to which action of the court the defendant duly took exception, as is shown by the minutes of the court. 6, Because the court erred in denying the defendant's motion to direct the jury to return a verdict of not guilty; to which this defendant duly took exception. In support of the motion the reasons given are as follows: 1. Because the verdict is unjust and un- reasonable. 2. Because the verdict is contrary to the evidence. 3. Because the verdict ts contrary to the instructions of the court. 4. Because of errors of law committed by the court In the progress of the trial of the case and noted upon the minutes of the court. ‘The motions were regularly filed.in Judge Mills’ court, and copies of them were served on Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny. It is thought that the arguments on the motions will be made next week. —_——— KILLED ON THE TRACKS. Sad Fate of a Deaf Mute—An Inquiry by the Coroner. John Allen, a deaf mute, whose father lives near Suitland, Prince George's county, Md., was struck by a train on the Balti- mecre and Potomac railroad about 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and so seriously in- Jured that he dted about 2 o'clock this morning in the Emergency Hospital. The accident occurred on the tracks between Delaware avenue and 2d street, not far from the New Jersey avenue yards. Young Allen had been attending the Deaf Mute Institute at Frederick, and was here sperding a week with his brother-in-law, William Hunt, on Georgia avenue sout east. Yesterday afternoon he left Mr. Hunt's house to visit another brother- law, Mr. Purcell, at 1220 Ith street sout Before going there, however, he took Ik about the city, and on his return he stopped near the railroad tracks and wil 1 a game of base ball. While on the tracks of the rallroad it became neces- sary for him to get out of the way of a shifting engine, and in so doing he got in the way of an incomirg New York train. Some citizen, 1t is said, called to him to get out of the way, but being deaf, he could not hear, and it was then impossible for the engineer to stop the train. When the engine struck him he was thrown several feet in the air, and when he came down he landed on the front of tne engine. The train was stopped and the yovng man, whe was unconscious, wa brought to the depot and taken to the ho: pital. There it was found his head was badly cut, ard he was suffering from con- cussion of the brain, in addition to several scars and bruises about the body. Being deaf and dumb, and so feeble, the injured man was unable to give the doctors any information about his Identity, or how he was Injured, but his brother-in-law's name was found written on a piece of paper in his pocket, and this led to the finding of his relatives. Deputy Coroner Glazebrook investigated the case this morning, and an inquest was begun al 3 o'clock this afternoon. > -— LOCAL DEMOCRATS WAITING. Anxious to Learn When Mr. Will Visit Washington. There is little activity in local democratic circles beyond the usual animation that Is shown by the various organizations during a national election year, and every one seems to be awaiting some definite an- nvuuncement of Mr. Bryan’s intentions re- garding his proposed visit to W: ington. All the arrangements for the ratification meeting which ne has been invited to at- tend and to address have “been virtually ccempleted and a substantial sum has been secured to mect the expenses, but the date of holding it remains to be tixed. It is confidently believed by democratic leaders here that Mr. Bryan ill come to Wash- irgien, and will sandwich his visit here be- tween his intended appearancea at Balti- more and Richmond. It is thought this ar- rangement will bring him here about S$ tember 15, Bryan ee Among the Workingmen.

Jerry Gant, who came to the Emergency Hospital some time ago suffering from a severe burn upon his arm, has been the object of an operation. which it is thought will restore the use of the arm, now dis- abled by the burn. The surgeons at the hospital grafted the skin of several cat- fish upon the arm, and it {s thought there is good prospect of its healing. pai Another Libellant. Frank A.

O'Grady, the Bigamist, Caught by His First Wife in Maryland. John J. O'Grady, who was arrested a few days ago at Mechanicaville, M4., on the charge of bigamy, was formerly a resident of Anacostia, and for some time was em- ployed as an attendant at St. Elizabeth's Asylum. There he became-acquainted with Miss Harriet Mattingly, who was also em- ployed in the placo, and after considerable courtship their engagement was announced. Rev. T. B. Hughes, the then pastor of St. Teresa’s Church, Anacostia, was convinced from what he was told, that O'Grady was a married man, and so informed Miss Mat- tingly, but in spite of this she refused to break the engagement. The couple even asked Father Hughes to marry them, but he refused unless O'Grady could prove that his wife was dead, and O'Grady 1nd Miss Mattingly went to Leonardtown, Md., where the wedding ceremony was perform- ed. Soon after this they opened a store in Washington. The first Mrs. O'Grady heard of the sec- ond marriage, and went to Washington to investigate, but before she reached there O'Grady and Mrs. O’Grady No. 2 agreed to scparate, it was said. The first wife determined, however, not to be put off the object of her search so easily, and track- ed her hugband from place to place until she came up with him at Mechanicsville, where she “had her recreant spouse ar- rested, and he was held for the action of the grand jury. Before getting the position at St. Eliza- beth’s O'Grady kept a peanut stand in Anacostia. He was regarded as a great talker and claimed that he expected to receive a great deal of money from songs ne had written. en MANY DOGS DROWNED. Owners Let Them Die Rather Pay for Tags. The police and the poundmaster are mak- ing war on unlicensed dogs, and the owners of canines who have not yet procured Ii- cense tags may expect to get hauled into court and fined. The days of grace given the owners of dogs have long since ex- Pired, and now the police are making a house-to-house visit to ascertain the names of the owners of unlicensed dogs. Some of the officers find it a difficult task to get the necessary information, because it is not every one who will tell the whole truth about the four-legged members of the household. Some of the servants are so well trained that their a s are either direct fabrications or they make evasive an- swers. ‘This work takes up a great amount of the time of the officers. Poundmaster Einstein and his assistants ‘are reaping a harvest in their work, and they find that more valuable dogs art per- milted to die this year than ever before. Tne catches are averaging about thirty a day, and when the wagon fs not out on raids it Is kept busy going to houses where the owners have surrendered their pets rather than take out a lcense. Those who desire to get rid of their dogs in this way can do so by sending a notice to the police. On these general raids the poundmen are experiencing considerable difficulty just now because of the number of people, in- cluding many wheelmen, who follow the wagon on its trips. Each afternoon there is a slaughter of dogs at the pound. ‘Than THE OYSTER OUTLOOK. River Be ts Will Soon Drop Water- nelons for Bivalve: One week from next Tuesday the oyster season will open, and oystermen down the river are already making extensive pr rations for a big season. ‘Lhe oyster boats will soon stop haullug watermelons from the lower counties and be put in readiness for the bivalves. Some few oystet are being received here now from the Chesa- peake bay, as well as from the river, and some of the larger restaurants are serving them at their bars. A well-known local dealer, speaking to a Star reporter today, said that the best oysters on the market now are from Princess bay, N. Y., and they are selliag at the rate of $1.25 a hundred. “A great many cysters are being sold now,” he said, “although the business will take a fresh start next month.” Oysters frum the Potomac, he said, are rather thin at present, but with two weeks’ rain they will fatten and be good for market The river is very low, and there is not much danger of a freshet that will do damage to the beds. A number of oyster captains, he says, are of the opinion that this season the oys will be better than —~ Why ix Not the Pay To the Editor of The Evening A few months ago the property holders on 13th street between L street and Massa- chusetts avenue were notified to set their | fences back and bring the cerrace fronting | on the property to the grade of the side- walk, preparatory to laying a new walk. Some of the property holders promptly obeyed the order, while others have not done so.

Shooting Out of Season. Although the gunning season for reed birds and ortolan will not begin for ten days, the birds are being slaughtered in the marshes, This shooting is belug done in open violation of law, the penaliy being $2 for each bird. And it is not necessary to prove the actual shooting, for the law says that @ penalty of $2 shall be imposed for each bird found in possession of any one. A local gunner told a Siar reporter this morning that unless this shooung is stopped the sport will be greatly in fered with when the season opens. The oats are in good condition, but this early shooting will not give ihe birds Ume to fat- ten. eS The Death of Mrs. F. W. Smith, Mr. F. W. Smith, clerk of Criminal Court No. 1, left the city Monday night to take the remains of his wife to their final rest- ing place in his family burial ground at Fayetteville, N. ¥Y. Mrs. Smith was for- merly Miss Kate McIntire, the only sister of Mr. William C. McIntire of this city. Her happy disposition and sweet, gentle manners made a loving friend of every ac- guaintance, and though she rests far away ‘rom her native city her grave will be kept green and tenderly watched by her hus- band’s family, who loved her as a daugh- ter and sister as devotedly as though she was of their blood. Mr. Smith has the sincere sympathy of a very large circle of friends. ——— Work on the Oupitol. Mr. Edward Clark, architect of the Capi- tol, filed his annual report with the Sec- retary of the Interlor yesterday. The re- port shows an aggregate expenditure for repairs, illumination, care-taking, grounds, etc., during the last fiscal year of $186,915. The new electric light plant has been in- stalied during the year with excellent re- sults. The increase has been equivalent to 1,117 lamps of sixteen-candle power. The lighting of the grounds by electricity will soon be accomplished. —— Saturday and Sunday Trips to tho Country. Until further notice, the B. and O. R. R.

MQRGAN’S FUNERAL. A Large Attendance This Morning at St. Paitsick’s Church. The funeral of Mrs. Nora Digges Mor- gan, widow of 1Dr. James E. Mor- gan, took place} this morning from the family residenceron E street. The funeral services were heldlat St. Patrick’s Church at 10 o'clock. Taé church was, well filled by relatives and friends, who came to pay the last mark of nffection and respect to the memory of th# deceased lady, and the congregation ineided representatives of many of the olddst families in this city and the adjoining counties of Maryland, as well as from other citles, The church bell was tolled while the funeral cortege went the short distanes from the house to the church. At the Woor of the sacred edifice the remains werermet by Rev. Dr. Stafford. The casket, hidden under a fragrant bur- den of beautiful flowers, rested in front of the sanctuary during the celebration of a requiem mass by Dr. Stafford. At its conclusion Dr. Stafford made a short ad- dress, eulogistic of the deceased, whose life had been an edification not only to the church which she had attended for sO many years, but to the community in which her life was spent. Her readiness to assist in every work of charity suggested to her and the private charities of which nene knew but the recipients were never ceasing. She inherited the strong faith and fine character of a distinguished an- cestry, and embodied in her personality all the strength of the noble and true wo- man of the old school. ‘The honorary palibearers were Dr. N. S. Lincoln, br. Mackall, Dr. Lovejoy, Mr. Charles A. James, Dr. Daniel B. Clark, Captain Chase and Dr. Fairfax, and the active ones were Messrs, Thomas Myer of Baltimore, Johnson Elliott, Conway Rob- ison, Frank Hill, Fairfax and Guy Burritt. A number of clergymen were present in the sanctuary, among them being Rev. Father McGee, Rev. Charles M, Bart and Rev. Father Gillespie, 8. J. At the conclusion of the service a long line of carriages followed the remains to Rock Creek cemetery, where the interment was made in the family lot. Mrs. Morgan was the daughter of Wm. Dudley Digges, who inherited the estate now Fort Washington and the Chillum es- tate, north of the city, of which “Green Hill Manor” was a portion. Wm, Dudley Digges was descended from Sir Dudley Digges of Chillum Castle, England, and also from Edward Digges, the colonial gov- ernor of Virginia. Her mother, Eleanora Carroll, was a niece of Archbishop Carroll and a daughter of Daniel Carroll of Dud- ington. ey ng of the Grand.

The closing day of the Salvation Army camp yesterday was the graad climax of the five-day series of meetings that have been in progress at Washington Grove un- der the women’s cavalry brigade of the Salvation Army. All the services have been replete with interest and charm to the county folks, and from the inaugural service of last Satur- day evening until the farewell meeting last night the uniform attendance, particularly at the evening services, has been unprece- dented. Could the Salvationists have tar- ried another week they would have been heartily welcomed and sustained in the county. Several genuine conversions oc- curred. The holiness mecting in the morning w led by Staff Capt. Cox, whose request foi testimonies met with a prompt response, which was followed by a concise scriptural discussion of the opening verses of Psalm 15th, in which the logical and earnest speaker satisfactorily answered the im- portant query: “What is holiness?” The young folks gathered in the auditorium at 2 p.m. and were very attentive to the short aadresses by Capt. McDonald and Capt. Allett. The afternoon service was largely at- tended and full of interest and inspiration. At 6:45 p.m. the sound of the drum and the bugle drew a large circle of people about the army corps, who were making the Woods ring with their spirited singing. ‘The last open-air service was very impres- sive and all joined in singing a farewell to the army, after which the bell rang out from the auditorium, and the leaders, fol- lowed by the people, went there to swell the already immense crowd, that was only equaled by the attendance last Sabbath. The congregation, aggregating several thousand, overflowed the auditorium out into the circle and beyond it into the ave- nues, and as mény as were within ear- shot listened with profound inierest to the farewill message of Capt. Cox. At the close of this service hundreds of people pressed about the devoted women of the army, cager to grasp their hands in farewell and to bid them God-speed in their task upon which they were about to em- bark. Capt. Cox was requested to admin- ister the ordinance of Chrisifan baptism before leaving camp. She possesses legal and ecclesiastical authority to perform the marriage ceremony, administer the ordl- nances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper and to officiate at the burial service. ee AN ECHO OF A FAILURE. Count Mitkiewicz Charged by Law- yer Hunter With False Pretenses. Count Eugene Mitkiewicz is again in- volved in a legal difficulty, put is net at all disturbed, for he says he can disprove the charge against him as soon as the case gets into court. Detective Rhodes arrested him almost in front of police headquarters today on a warrant issued from the Police Court yesterday by direction of the prose-, cuting attorney, in which the count is charged by James T. Hunter, a lawyer, who has an office on G strest near the pension office, with false preteases. The amount involved is only $25, ani the war- rant charges that the offense was commit- ted more than three months ago. Accord- ing to the warrant Hu: loaned the count $25 because he said that he had $6,500 in Massachusetts. While there is nothing in the warrant to show that tals case has any bearing on the failure of the Chesapeake and Potomac Steamboat Company, Count Mitkiewicz claims that it has. Mr. Hunter, he says, was counsel for 2 Mrs. Smythe, who pu $1,000 In the Cedar Point resort, and sinc the troubie he nas made an effort to have daughter sign papers cov- ng this amount, which he refus r do. Now, he claims, this pros is brought to give him trouble because of his refusal to allow ‘his daughter to sign paper. Bond for his appearance in ccurt was given and the case may be heard tomorrow. — Policy Promoter Punished. William Fox, colored, who was arrested two days ago by Precinct Detective Harti- gan and Policeman Kimmel on a charge of promoting po! was tried in the Police Ccurt today. When arrested he admitted his guilt and gave the. names of others who were in the business. A number of papers containing policy rows and money to correspond with the plays were taken from him and used as evidence. Lawyer Moss, who represented the prisoner, made an effort to discredit the evidence ‘of the government witnesses, but when Fox went en the stand and admitted the truth of the witnesses had said, Mr. Moss honesty should be re- ed. The court imposed a sentence of sixty days in jail and imposed a fine of $10 or sixty days additional, etter ete BAKING POW DER.
