POLICE COURT What ‘the Prisoners in the Procession Told the Judge. Cases of Misfortune Due to Various Causes and What Disposition Was Made of Them. It has been just four days that “the queen of all Swampoodle,” Johanna Quill, was discharged from custody because there was no proof against her, and it was surprising to the police that she remained at large until last night. This morning when she appeared in the dock of Judge Scott's court on the charge of vagrancy ske was apparently the hap- piest one in all the party. After hearing the evidence Judge Scott imposed a sen- tence of ninety days. Caleb Adams, a colored man, who has been married for a number of years, 13 In durance vile, he says, because he made an effort to repeat his courtship days. “I squez’ my wife's hand,” he sai she hollered, ‘don’t, Caleb, you hurt. “Is that all you did?” “Yes, sir.” “And you didn’t assault hei “Deed, I didn’t.” Policeman West, “and who made the arrest, stated his charge against the prisoner and said he was assaulting his wife last night and the woman's screams attracted his at- tention. “Are you positive he was assaulting her?” yes, sir,” the policeman answered. “But I didn’t,” interrupted the defendant. “And,” added the court, “I think your wife would testify in your behalf if she Were in court. That's the difference be- tween a man and woman.” A fine of $ or fifteen days was imposed. John Logan and John Sherman were the only distinguished names on the list. Logan, who had been arrested for disorder- ly conduct, did not appear and claim his collateral, but Sherman's funds were too low last night, and he was compelled to appear. “I hadn't done anything,” said the de fendant. “The boys around the neighbs: hoed annoy my family and throw stones at the house. When I went out to protect my mother I got arrested The complaint of Policeman O'Dea was not a serious one, and the court suggested that the boys who threw the stones, and not John Sherman, should have been on trial.

Mr. Barksdale is a clerk in the auditor's office of the War Department. With his ‘© and family, he resides in a large two- story frame cottage, owned by Judge A. A.

Last night the family retired as usual, and the first intimation they had of their danger was on being awakened by dense volumes of smoke that was pouring through every room in the » Even then the flames had great y.

Arousing his wife and family, Mr. Barksdale led them quickly out of the house to a place of safety, where they anxiously watched the total destruetion of their property. Their loss was complete. So hasty had_ their flight necessarily been that they did not have time even to gather up their clothes. The house also is a total loss. It is supposed that the fire had its origin in a kitchen fiue, for it was in that part of the house that the flames, when first discovered, were fiercest. Mr. Barksdale and family accepted temporary shelter at the residence of Mr. J. W. Garner, son- in-law of Judge Freeman, the owner of the house. ‘There was no insurance on either the house or its contents. The burned structure was s ago by Judge A A.

The grounds were brilliantly light- ed by innumerable colored lanterns and a hcst of pretty girls presided over the many becths.

Probable Effect on the Rate War That is Now in Suspense. The executive officers of the Southern Railway Company in the city today recelv- ed notice that an important meeting of the executive board of the Southern States Freight Association will be held in New York tomorrow. The board has control of all passenger and freight matters in the railroad systems in that portion of the south which Hes south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers and east of the Mississippi, except the Seaboard -Air Line and its ally, the Old Bay Line of steamers, between Baltimore and Norfolk. There are also affiliated with the associa- tion several powerful northern transporta- tion companies. The membership of the Southern Freight Association comprises the Alabama and Great Southern Railway Company, South- ern system, Florida Central and Peninsu- Jar, Atlantic Coast Line, Plant system, East and West road of Georgia, Central of Georgia, the Georgia State, Western and Atlantic, Port Royal and Augusta, Cape Fear and Atlantic, Savannah, Americus and Meridian and Georgia and Alabama; also the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic York River Line, Clyde Line and Mer- chants’ and Miners’ Transportation Com- lines of steamers. All will, it 1s ted, be fully represented at the meet- &, ing. While there fs no one here who will say what the purpose of the meeting is, it is generaily assumed that the principal busi- ness that will come before the body will be in relation to the dissolution of the injunc- tion by Judge Simonton in the case of the Port Royal and Augusta road against the Southern States Freight Association and the Seaboard Air Line, in the matter of rate cutting. it is pretty well known among railroad men that the Seaboard Air Line is not likely to modify its demands in regard to business, and which caused the war, name- ly, that it will, as its president, Mr. R. C. Hoffmzn, and vice president and general manager, St. John, have frankly asserted, insist on the withdrawal by the Southern Railway Company of its recently estab- lished line of steamers between Baltimore, Norfolk and Newport News, and that thi demand will be rejected by the Southern de- cision («nd this result can only be delayed for a very few days) will be to reopen the war between the Southern and Seaboard Air Line compani which has been «uies- cent since Judge Simonton {ssued the tem- porary injunction seme five weeks ago, and it the Southern carries into execution the cut of SO per cent in its schedule, as it ha been authorized to do by the Sout! States Freight Association, much anxiety will be felt as to the flnal cuicome. There are many persons who would rather that present rates be maintained, but who, at the same time, believe that if a cut must be made it will be better to cut to the extreme limit at once and not do it by piecemeal. ‘This wes the course adopted by President Smith of the Louisville and hville when its rates were cut into by a rival line a couple of rs ago, and a peace was sought by the latter in short order. Whether the result would be similar in the present instance cannot at this time be foreshadcwed. It fs expected that a_special me. the Southern States Freight As will be held in New York during the pres- ent week, when the entire situation will be taken iato consideration. _ NON-PARTISAN LEAGU Speeches Made by Henry and Capt. O'Farretl The first public meeting of the Non-Par- tisan Sound Moncey League, which is wz ing a warfare in favor of McKinley's elec. tion, was held in the banquet hall of the Raleigh last evening. Democrats and re- publicans were there and crowded the cozy and handsome banquet hall, which was decorated by a single American flag. C. V. Gates, president of the league, cpened the meetings with brief remarks, after T. B. Huyck, chairman of the execu- E. Davis tive committee, had explained that the usual business of the league would be passed over except the enrollment of new members. ‘The other officers of the league who occupied seats near the speakers of the evening were A. J. Kane, first vice president: C. S$. Ucker, secretary: Alex- ander Wolf, treasurer, and R. B. H. Lyon, sergeant-at-arms. In introducing the speakers of the even- ing Mr. Gates expressed the cpposition of the league to the election of Mr. Bryan. “Boy orators are all right in their place,” he said, “but we cannot run the risk of having ‘the White House furniture soiled by them or the damask rose bed of the conservatory planted in cabbages and po- tatoes or the displacement of the delicate vines for those of pumpkins. Black 1s dlack, and it cannot be made white by such as have forsaken pginciples of true democracy and republicanism. Democrats musi certainly repudiate this infamous and revolutionary movement or be held re- le for its consequences in th: Mr. Gates concluded by declaring that the American people had no sympathy with anarchy and revolution and that they would not compromise with dishonor. Mr. Gates’ remarks were received with applause, but he explained that as the league had been accorded the banquet hall by the proprietors he hoped there would be no stamping as it was objectionable to their hosts. Mr. Davin’ Addrexs, Mr. Henry E. Davis, the well-known law- yer and democrat of this city, was then introduced. Mr. Davis said many people would wonder why he was opposed to the election of the nominee of the Chi- cago convention. “It is because I have not ceased to be a democrat,” he said, amid prolonged ap- plause. Mr. Davis said that it was the first time In his life that he had stood before an audience advecating the principles written in the republican platform, and spoke of how hard he found it to take this course, which he was driven to. He said he pro- Fcsed to pursue primer methods tn his dis- cussion. He then reviewed the free silver avestion. “What is it makes a gold dollar worth 100 cents?” said Mr. Davis. “It is because God Almighty made it so, while silver can- not be a dollar except by the supervision of men. ‘This was greeted with loud applause. He said there could be but one standard of money, as of morals or anything else, and proceeded to deliver a thoughtful address on the currency question. He said that for twenty years the United States essayed to bring about international bimetallism, but though it had employed its most emi- nent statesmen to persuade Europe to adopt such a course all such attempts had ended simply in “wind.” Now it is expect- ed by Mr. Bryan and his followers, said Mr. Davis, to do by force and legislation what could not be done by persuasion. He said free coinage had a great element of dishonesty, and every man who embraces it with the idea that he will pay his debts 50 cents on the dollar had a canker worm at his heart, and he feared the outcome of such morals. Free silver, if once adopted, he said, ‘would result in panic, disaster and dishonor. God forbid it.” At the conclusion of Mr. Davis’ remarks the audience gave him a vote of thanks, Capt. O’Farrell's Views. Capt. Patrick O’Farrell was then intro- duced and delivered a vigorous address, touching upon ancient and modern his- tcry in his treatment of his subject. He said he felt backward in addressing a Washington audience in an effort to in- struct them, as of all the intelligent com- munities he ever knew the people of Wash- ington were the most intelligent. He said that Diocletian had attempted in ancient times to fix the prices of commodities, but had failed, as the silverites would fail. Capt. O'Farrell concluded by speaking in favor of high protective tariff, which, he said, was needed to bring prosperity to this country. He was accorded a vote of thanks at the close of his remarks. Then a num- ber of those in the audience joined the league and all pronounced the meeting a great success. —— A Divorce Granted. Judge Cox today granted Lydia C. Ss.

Mrs. Moore, the grandmother, turned over to Inspector Hollinberger yesterday a pathetic letter written by the grandmother which he forwarded to the girl in the far West. In this letter the one at a distance was told that the prayers of thirteen years of sorrow had at last been answered, and the hope was expressed that in the near future she would return to her home and again see her sisters and other relatives.

The District State Council of the Junior U.O.A.M. gave its first annual excursion of the season to River View yesterday, and over 1,800 of the members of the order and their friends from Washington and Alex- andria made the trip. The affair was a | give me to her. years old, and was taken from here by a colored woman named Emma Cooper, or Butler, who has since died. When she died in San Francisco, not long ago, the girl made anxious inquiries about her relatives, and succeeded in interesting Mr. A. E. Lu- cas, the head of a private detective agency, in her case, and he made inquiries about her. About a week ago Inspector Hollin- berger received a letter from the head of this detective bureau, in which he said: “I herewith inclose you a copy of a state- ment made to me by a young lady going by the name of Lillian Swann, and who thinks that she was born in your city, but left there or was taken away from there by a woman who married Frederick Swann. She was a colored woman. “This Lillian Swann was only five years old when she left Washington, which was thirteen years ago. By reading her state- ment which she made to me I think that you will know how to act in order to find her people. She does not know her moth- er’s name, nor her own name. She seems to be a bright and intelligent young lady, and what would be called a very Nght mu- latto girl. If you will take the facts from her statement and condense it down to a few words, and have one of your evening or morning papers publish it, I do not think you will have any difficulty in finding this young lady’s mother and sisters. Very Few Facts. “Her father, she sald, died of sunstroke about a year before she left home. This woman who took her away from Washing- ton traveled considerably, as you will see, and passed this girl off as her own. I could not get anything more definite from her than what she has given. She does not re- member any one’s name in Washington, nor does she remember any of the streets, nor what street she lived on, nor even the next- door neighbor's name, and, in fact, the in- closed is everything that I could ascertain from her, “If you will be kind enough to take in- terest in trying to locate her people, you will be conferring a great favor upon an intelligent young lady; in other words, she wants to find out who and what she is, and she would also like to see her people. I w as possible what you have done, and what you will do in regard to the matter. I am salistied that any newspaper in your city would write up the article and publish free of charge. I am charging the young lady nothing for my services. There is no one here who seems to know what her name fs cr was. The lady whom she came to the west with has died, and so she wiil never be able to find out auything from that source.” The Girl's Story. Accompanying this letter was one written by the young lady herself, giving her side of the story. She says in her letter: “I lived in Washington, D. C., thirteen years ago. My father was colored, a light brown color. My mother was white—a blon¢ ; sunstruck and died. There was a lady who lived the next door to us, and my mother was very much heart-broken over my er’s death, and was left alone without and with three children, Nannie, Rachel and m: self. This woman who lived next door to my mother got into her good graces and took me off with her without my mother’s consent. name-is Lillian Swann, and I have never seen my mother sinc “This woman never mentioned her name to me, and she wandered from state to state and lost all track of my mother. I am quite sure that my mother did not This lady who took me was about to be married at the time, and the name that she went by then was Coop- or Butler. The man she married was Frederick Swann. This woman that took me was colored also; but she is dead now. When I got on the train with this lady my mother said to her: ‘Now, Emma, you be sure and write to me about my little girl,’ and she said that she would. “About three years after I left my mother this woman that I went with was in Ch cago, and, in fact, wandered all around and me with her. She told every one that I was her Hittle girl, and that I was her own child. When she was out one day I went to her trunk and found a letter from my own mother. I read a few affectionate things which she said about me, and from that I thought that this woman who took me wanted me to think that I was her own. Lived in the Suburbs, “My own mother paid my board. My mother was a blonde, and her name was Fannie Nannie was my own sister, and is now between sixteen and seventeen years of age. Rachel, my other sister, is about fourteen years of age. I am eighteen years old. Nannie is a blonde. Rachel has straight, black hair. They are in Washing- ton, D.C. All of my relatives are there also. This woman who took me treated me very mean. She has been dead since 1890. She has a great many relatives here, and she told every one of them that I was her own child. We lived in the suburbs of Washington, D. C. My father was a mulatto. My mother did not take us among colored people; she stayed in the suburbs. I had one uncle by the name of Tom, on my father's side. I had one cousin, who lived in the city of Washing- ton, named Gert‘e. I suppose that I was born in Washington. “There is a young man, who Is the wo- man’s brother that took me, and she has several brothers, who are butlers, scatter- ed all over, and one is a janitor in the mint. When she came out here she told them that I was her own child. One of them told me that she told him something, and that he was going to tell me when I would become of age, so when I did reach my majority, Walter Butler, who works as clerk in the Liverpool and London Globe Insurance Company, at 422 California street, San Francisco, Cal., would not tell me, as we were mad with each other. “When this weman dled a gentleman friend of hers brought me out here. She had left me in a public institution in Chi- cago until I was thirteen years old. My father was well known in Washington, D. C. He was a very tall man. My mother was a slight woman. My father died four- teen years ago, and every colored person who lived there went to my father’s fu- neral. We kept cows and little chicken: and there were two houses close together. One was a brick house and very plain, and had a graveled walk and flowers, and the sidewalk was laid with brick. The other house was a wooden one. We had a horse and buggy.” The Child Was Stolen. ‘When Inspector Hollinberger had read the letters he concluded that he would have a notice of the affair published in the Colored American, which he did, and this brought to light the facts in the case. It developed that the girl, Lillie Zenobia Daley, was actually stolen from here by the woman Emma Cooper, or Butler. At the age of five years Lillie was an inter- esting child, and p&ctographs taken of her only a short time before her disappearance show that she was bright and attractiv Mrs. Cooper, it seems, had formed an at- tachment for Lillie and had expressed a desire to adopt her, but this she could not do, for the child’s parents were prosperous and even at the death of the father the mother got along well. One day, however, Mrs. Cooper said she was going to the train to see her husband off and took the child along for company, and that was the last seen of her. Mrs. Daley, almost heart-broken, maie every effort to discover the whereabouts of her child. The local authorities succeeded in accomplishing nothing, and then she asked the assistance of the pastors in many states.
