MANY UNFORTUNATES It was only because of the good work of Policeman Flynn that Judge Scott’s court room was not crowded to suffocation today. The big policeman planted himself at the front door, and those who had no business in court were kept on the outside. More than fifty victims of the police were in the procession, and for the reason that twenty colored females were in the party the big policeman said it was “‘ladies’ day.” ‘The gay costumes worn by the females gave them the appearance of being ready to ge on a picnic or to attend a ball game, and most of them did go io the summer resort between the Congressional cemetery and the jail. The arrival of so many females on the farm later in the day caused a surprise, but the women were welcome there, for the reason that there has been a scarcity of laundry talent during recent weeks. One victim in the toils was “Shack” Bell, a simple-minded but inoffensive colored man, the charge against whom had been nolle prossed and his release ordered. “Well, ‘Shac! said Bailiff Kendig, * much money have you this morning “Ain't got none.”” a “Then you may go home. 3 A broad smile covered the unfortunate’s face, and he started out. “Get a move on you, there,” called the bailiff. a “Ail right,” answered “Shack,” and his pace was increased to a three-minute gait, but at the door he encountered an obstacle in the person of Policeman Flynn, who grabbed him as a fugitive. na “You can’t get past the door guard,” the big policeman said, and Bell was marched back. Then there was laughing 9nd shouting, and the triumphant Beil enjoyed the affair much as did the audience, which was posed largely of policemen, there being more than thirty law guardians in court. Just how many policemen were left for street duty did not appear, but with so many officers in court it was apparent that many beats were left unprotected. Jane Wore Nippers. Jane Richardscn, a neatly dr woman, was the leader of the procession, and Policeman Cox told"how he had put nippews on her and compelled her to go with him. “She was very disorderly on Ist street,” said the officer, “and gave me trouble all the way to the box.” “And you you had to put nippers on the woman?” queried the court. “Yes, sir,” the officer ae A fine of $8 was imposed. When Adella Johnson and Lizzie Fletcher were called, two women from the dis- reputable section responded and answered “We ain't guilty,” when arraigned for dis- orderly conduc! “These women were under the influence of Mquor Saturday night,” said Policeman “how Flather, ‘and were raising a row on the street.” “Did they attract any attention?” asked the court. “Did the should sa: Lizzle's clothes off. Each woman charged the other with he- ing responsible for the trouble, and the court fined them $ each. Trouble Between William and Annie. William Bryant and Annie Lock, a col- ored couple, were in the tolls for alleged disorderly conduct, and Policemen O’Brien ard Burlingame related a story which gave the impression that the disorder was a serious one. “They were fighting on the street,” one of the officers said, “and it took us some time to separate them. “Were they drinking?” the court asked. “The man had been indulging.” “That's right,” said Bryent, “I was drinkirg, but when the policeman says we were fighting he tells what is not so. Annie was trying to get me home, and I didn't want to go.” sut you were on the pavement togeth- ‘eum Yes, sir, I fell down and so did Annie.” Arnie declared that William had told the truth, and she said she was not arrested until some time after the occurrence on the street. “Where were you when you were arrest- ed ‘In my own house, and I had gone to The man is fined $5," said the court, nd the woman $3. Policeman Larrick heard Charlie Prown call a man a “——— liar” Saturday right. That was He arrested Charlie. why he was in the procession. “He was at the flying horses about 11 o’cleck at night,” sald the officer, “when he called the man a — —— liar. First T didn't do anything, but when he repeated the language I placed him under arrest.” Charlie thought he had committed ro serious offerse. The court thought like- wise and imposed a fine of only §2 or six days. Too Early to Retire. Hattie Talbot and Kate Jenkins, who thought it was too warm to go to bed early Saturday night, were on the street jong after midnight. 3 And they were engaged in a scrap,” sald the officer. “What do you mean by a scrap?” “A quarrel.’ The defendants had an idea that each had a grievance, but the court thought they should have selected a better time and ce to settle it. They were fined Ge Pe man Catts rattled the bones at the judge and complained that James Tolliver had figured in a game of crap in Bland’s alle asn’t in the game,” said the defend- “I was passing through the alley at time and I stopped to look on. What about this?” the court asked. “I can't say that he threw the bone: answered the officer, “but he was in crowd, just the same. “But that won't do,” “You must get nearer time.” Tolliver was discharged. A Couple Separated. Sam Sprigg and his wife were in the tolls on a charge of disorderly conduct, and although there was no serious disorder charged, Sam was fined $10? which he paid, while his wife's fine, $3, was not paid, and she was sent back. Freeman's alley was the subject of dis- cussion when four colored women, Annie Wheeler, Nellie Mercer, Jessie West and Perminie Smith, were called upon to explain why they made so much noise in the alley. “Complaints are constantly being male about disorders in the alley,” said an of- ficer, “but we can’t always get near enough to the crowds to make arrests.”” id you witness this disorder 0, your honor, but I have witnesses here. The witnesses appeared and told of the nightly disorders in the alley, and the wo- men charged were fined $3 or nine days each. Josephine Had a Lawyer. “I'm guilty of disorderly conduct,” an- swered Josephine West, when arraigned; “but I have a lawyer.” “Who is your counsel?” “Lawyer Moss.” 3 Counsel appeared and said he had in- tended to enter a plea of guilty in the case. “She's only charged with disorderly con- duct,” said counsel, “and I hope your honor will give her time to pay her fine.” “Well, she’s fined $2,” the court said, “and now what do you want to do about the payment of the fine?” f you will trust me until Friday at 2 o'clock” she answered, “Til pay you.” “I suppose you'll vouch for her,” said the court to counsel. e said the court. the game next THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 1896-TEN PAGES. “Well, I'll see,” answered Lawyer Moss. After ppnsuitation, ‘he said he would responsible, and the woman's perso! ‘bonds were taken to appear. “Now,” the clerk told her, “don’t you fail to appear and pay the fine. “And how putoly eo) T owe you, Mr. Moss?” the woman asked. “I'll see you later.” Slept on the Sidewalk. George Warner, a one-legged colored man, who called on some friends in Glick’s alley Saturday night and indulged in li- quid refreshments, made a mistake in his lodging house. The liquor had the effect of robbing him of his reasoning powers, and when he reached 6th and R streets he removed his clothing“and went to bed on the brick pavement. “This is a serious thing to do,” said the court to the prisoner. know it is,” said the colored man,‘‘but if I'm sent down I'll lose my job, and I hope you will be merciful to me.” The judge lectured the cripple about the use of intoxicants, and released him on his personal bonds. Joseph Jones, colored, had trouble on a Brightwood electric car Saturday night because he drew the color line. A colored woman’s hat was blown off and Jones vol- unteered the opinion that if the woman had been white the car would have waited for her. Not satisfiel with this he used bad lan- guage and then threatened to use a stone on the conductor. A fine of $5 or fifteen days was imposed. . ————EE AMUSEMENTS, Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—This evening Ea. F. Rush’s White Crook Company will open a week's stay at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater. The curtain will rise on a beau- tiful scene which forms the background for a farce entitled “Columbia's Recep- tion,” a satire on the gold and silver ques- tion, introducing the entire company. The olio part of the bill introduces Ned Monroe and Fern Melrose, Anna Yale, Agnes Beh- ler, Dixon and Larg, Williams and Ed- wards, Colby and Dewitt and others. The Program concludes with the burlesque “Near Gay New York." All the scenic, electric and mechanical effects are carried by the company for the proper stagings. The Grand Opera House.—Tho opening of the regular ‘season at the Grand Opera House occur: il be Presented by the Emma R. Steiner Galety Ccmpany A grand chorus ,augmented or- chestra, beautiful costumes and elaborate stage effects, together with popular prices, will make the opening of the lar sea- son in the renovated opera house a note- worthy occasion. At River Vi River View is always visited by large crowds Sund. but the couble attraction announced for yesterday drew an extra large number of ¢xcursion- ists, over 2,500 Washingtonians being pres- ent. A dalloon asce:.sion by Prof. iteynolds took place at 6:30 o'clock. The balloon was inflated with a mixture of gas end hot air and when the word was given to let go, the daring aeronaut, hanging head downward frem a trapeze bar by his heels, shot sky- ward like a rocket. During the ascent Prof. Reynolds gave an acrobatic exhibition. At an elevation when his )-foot balloon look- ed like a speck in the air, he cut loose the parachute and made a ‘thrilling descent, landing in a fleld about a mile and a half north of River Vie: After the balloon ascension and para- chute descent, the crowd was attracted to the chute, where Prof. Smith coasted down the steep incline on a bicycle. The feat was sufely performed, Prof. Smith diving from the wheel as It pitched over into the lake. Mule. Grace successfully repeated the performance at 8 o'clock. Wednesday next an_ evening ascension will be made by Prof. Reynoids. The same balloon used yesterday will be calied into requisition then, but it will be profusely decorated with colored lights, and while in midair a display of fireworks will be given. The Macalester Tri In addition to the regular evening sails to Marshall Hall and Indtan F d Thursday, Friday and Satur- da: the steamer Maca er will make a special trip this evening, leaving at 6:30, and stopping at Marshall Hall both ways. This trip of over forty miles on the Poto- mac, most of which will be enjoyed by moonlight, will give those who are unable to go later in the week an opportunity to spend a_ delightful ning away from home. Those who have not tried the hy- drocycles—and bicycling on water is cer- tainly a novel experience to most Washing- tenians—will have a chance to enjoy a@ moonlight spin up and down the river from Marshall Hall. To Chapel Point.—In compliance with the request of the numerous patrons of River View, Capt. E. 8. Randali has determined to send the steamer Samuel J. Pentz on a special trip to Chapel Point tomorrow. The Pentz will leave her wharf, foot of 7th street, at 945 a.m., and will reach the Point in time to give the excursionists five hours for salt water bathing, crabbing and fishing, returning by 10 p.m. ‘The fare for the round trip of 120 miles on the Po- tomac will be twenty-five cents, and the Hotel Belleview will furnish meals at city prices. To Marshall Hall.—Christ Church gives an excursion on the Macalester to Marshall Hall tomorrow, and if the number of tick- ets already sold is any indication of the number who will enjoy the outing, there will be a large crowd of happy children, parents and Sunday school teachers, with their friends, present. f oe Free Silver for the Wealthy and Against the Poor. To the Editor of The Evening Star: According to the newspaper report of Mr. Bland's speech at Laurel he, follow- ing the suggestion of Senator Faulkner, declared that “this is a campaign in which the laboring classes are arrayed against the grecdy corporations’—in other words, the laborers against the people of means. He then goes on to illustrate the idea by asserting that the free coinage of silver would double the price of lots—that “a lot worth $100 in Laurel today would, under free coinage, be worth $20), and there would be money to buy it with.” Of course, this is mere bold assertion, without a particle of proof. On the con- trary, we assert that there would be less morey to buy it with, because tree silver jor any other depreciated money would at ‘once drive out all good money, send fold to # premium and cause it to be hoarded just as our depreciated currency did during the war, and always does the world over. That would contract the amount of coincd money fully one-half, so there would he less money instead of more. But, admitting his statement would double the price course, everything else, to be true, who would that benefit? Why, those who have lots to sell, and not those who want to buy lots. As there are a hundred laborers and mechanics or persons of small means who want to get homes and to buy lots for that purpose to every one who has lots to sell it follows inevitably that free silver would benefit the few at the expense of the mary—the rich at the expense of the poor; the capitalist or the speculator at the ex- pense of the mechanic, the laborer, and all who want to get homes for themselves and their families! There is no possible escape from that result, if his statement is true. Nor is that all, for if everything doubled in price, of course it would cost the !a- borer just twice as much to live, while, as all experience has shown, his wages would not double, and would be the very last thirg to ircrease at all in price or amount. It may be that the laboring men, me- chenics and others of small means, can be induced to vote to thus double their bur- dens without any corresponding benefit, but if so it will not speak well for their intelligence, and for one I shall not he- leve it until I see it. If they do they will have no one to blame but themsolves and the demagogues by whom they permit themselves to be fooled with such non- sense. OBSERVER. —— To. G. A. R.

The report of the Chesapeake and Ohio railway for 1896, which has been submitted by President M. E. Ingalls, is a most favor- able showing, considering the disadvan- teges under which railroads in all section of the country have labored for the past year. First of all, the report shows that the gross earnings of the road have reached the large aggregate of $10,221,131, a sum which has not been exceeded save in 189 when the world’s fair was in progress at Chicago, and even in that year the exce: was only about $200,000. While the r. ceipts have thus increased, the percentay of operating expenses is only 1 per cent greater than for the la: yo years, and 7 per cent less than in 1S The net earn- ings were the largest in the history of the company. In physical condiuion the property has been fully maintained and improved. The company has had no construction account during the year in the operatmg depart- ment, and the policy heretofore establi: of charging all additions and betterm to operating expenses has been continu The company laid 10,000 tons of new rail. at_a cost of $120,223, The company has operated its own line | by way of Lexington into Louisville ¢ April 1, but the earnings and expenses of that division have been kept separate So far, it is stated, the contract has proved a burden, and it is believed will be a profitable one in the future. terest_charges for the coming fiscal 1996-97, including Interest on the 414 pe cent bonds now in the treasury, amount to $3,188,471, an increase og §7,330 over the charges of last year. ———— Political Information and Statistien.

The regular tri-weekly meeting of the Street Railway Assembly was held Satur- day evening, and in the absence of Master Workman Thomas J. Lawrence Mr. F. M. Dent, chairman of the executive board, presided.” The meeting was mainly confined to con- sidering the present relations of the Metro- politan Railroad Company with the locked- out men. In this connection there was much talk relative to the probable succes- sor of President Phillips of the company, who, as heretofore stated in The Star, has tendered his resignation, to take effect Oc- tober 15. One of the conductors belonging to the K. of L. who is still in the employ of the Metropolitan Company called attention to the fact, as stated, that under the present Schedule it is impossible for the men to get any opportunity to eat a meal after they have once entered upon their tour of duty, and that if the supervisor or inspector catches a man eating on his car the offen- der is certain to be laid off for not less than two or three days. The same member stated that one day last week Supervisor Thomas detected a conductor eating his dinner on his car, and he immediatel: called him to account for it. The condu tor replied that the company did not give him any time cn either end of the line, and unless he ate cn the car he could not eat at all. To this Mr. Thomas, it was said, replied: “It makes no difference to the company whether you eat or not;” and, as a punishment, the man was, it was stated, laid off for three days. Another conductor reported that a mem- ber of Congress who was on his car a few days ago said he was greatly surprised to find that the railroad company had stopped running their Capitol and Boundary line cars Into the Capitel grounds, and the Rep: resentative said that he propos when Congress reassembles, to institute, if p sible, an investigation, in order to tain if by stopping these cars the Metropol. — Company has not invalidated its char- er. The statement was made that one of the men who were discharged from the service of the Metropolitan Company because of his connection with the Knights of Labor applied to one of the officers of the operat- ing department of the Capital Tracti Company for a place and was informed in reply that the party could give the appli- cant a Job, but that it would be of no except for a few days, because as soon the chief offictals of the ri the discharge of the man would b This course, the man was i unavoidable, because there list In existence here, and th every man discharged by one ra’ road © pany w ent to each of the others, and it was agreed between them that no man who ha dismissed from the service cf one company would be given employ- ment by another, ‘The ommittee ‘ing charge of the ilway As: interest in the Labor to Marsha!l that a great many ticket Hall have reported been sold and that it wa t of the net proceeds would be the aid of the locked-out men. at one-half devoted to Obstructing an Alley.
