THE POLICE COURT. GRIST Judge Kimball Returns From His Vacation and Occupies the Bench. He Wan Generally Lenient With the Prisoners, bat Some Sentences Were Iniposed. c Judge Kimball returned home last even- ing, after a six weeks’ vacation, which he spent along the coast of Maine, and this morning he greeted the fourteen victims of the police, who had spent the night be- hind the bars and who were in the toils pleading for justice and mercy. Eleven of them were in she early morning party of District offenders, among them being one woman. She gave her name as Mamie Johnson, although she says her real name is Brown. She had never been arrested before, and her experience in the toils last night and this morning was a sad one to her. Policeman Evans had arrested her and charged her with disorderly conduct. “I wasr’t disorderly,” said Mamie, “and its the first time in my life that I was ver arrested.” ‘What were you doing?” was carrying clothes home, and u girl who was with me had some words,’ she answered. “I hadn't done anything, and so I didn’t run.” “She was disorderly,” nd I heard her sweal “Indeed, julge, I didn’t swear,” pleaded Mamie. “I don't use bad language, any- how said the officer, hen were you arrested last?” “Never before in my life.” “How long have you lived here?” my life. “If you have lived here all your life and this is your first time in court,” said the judge, “I'm not going to fine you.” She was released on her own bond. Could Continue His Tramp. In the procession was a young colored man, who gave.his name as Charles Henry. Vagrancy and suspicion was the charge against him, and when arraigned he in- quired: “What's dat mean?” “What's your plea the bailiff asked him; “are you guilty or not guilty?” “I ain't done nothin’, if dat's what you mean.” “Your honor,” said a special policeman, “I had received a number of complaints about tramps sleeping in a vacant house on C street southwest, and this morning short- ly after midnight I found this boy sleeping in there.” “I was in the house,” said the boy, “but had only been in there abcut ten minutes vhen the officer found me.” , Vhy were you in the house?’ ‘Cause I had done walked forty miles and was tired.” “From where had you walked “All the way from Baltimore, swered, “‘and I was going to my home, !n Richmond, tris morning.” “And will you go right away if I release you?” Deed, I will, and thank you, too.’ His personal bonds were taken. William Bradshaw, a young colored man, also a stranger in ihe city, was in the procession as a vagrant and disorderly, but the evidence against him was not at all convincing. “He was on 6% street southwest last night,” said a witness, “and was putting his head in windows, frightening the chil- dren and screaming at women. Then he picked up pebbles and pretended he was going to throw them."* “What else do you know about him?” “Nothing.” “That doesn’t make him a vagrant,” said the court. “If he has violated any law it is the disorderly conduct act. In his own defense the defendant said he belonged in North Carolina, and he was anxious to resume his journey homeward. “I'll not stop you,” said the court, “the preof against you fs insufficient and the charge 1s dismissed.” An Old Pensioner Sent Down. Michael Riley, an old pensioner, was in court on the eve of persion day, as an al- leged vagrant. He was under the influence cf liquor yesterday, but he had no money in his pocket. “I found him drunk and begging,” was the complaint of Policeman Hayes. Michael was very anxious to get out, for he realizes that he would not have his usual three months’ pleasure with his old comrades if sent down. But Judge Kimball’s ear was deaf to his entreaties, and a sentence of thirty days resuited in Mike’s being given a free trip to the farm. Richard Mullahy and a colored man named James Cooper engaged in a dispute yesterday. Cooper was not in court, as he had left collateral, but Mullahy was in the procession, and he made a denial of the charge against him. “He was in front of Finley’s saloon, right opposite the third precinct,” said Sergt. Jcrdan, “and I heard him use bad lan- guage.” “What else did he do?” “He struck the colored man.” “That's right,” sajd the defenijant, “I did strike Cooper, but he struck me first, ard any man would defend himself. “But you should not have used bad lan- guage,” the judge told him. “I didn’t swear,” said Mullahy, did was to defend myself.” The court imposed a fine of $5. His Recollection Defective. Albert Colbert, a colored man, who im- bibed a little too freely yesterday, found himself in the procession this morning. But he dented the charge against him, and said he had not been arrested for eight or ten years. “I'm afraid your recollection is defective,” said the court. “He says he hasn’t been here for eight or ten years,” said his counsel, “and your honor may be mistaken.” “But I'm not,” said the court, and a fine of $5 or fifteen days was imposed. Charles Pinkney, colored, said he was guilty of disorderly conduct, and when a fine of $5 had been imposed he asked for credit. “The court has pee de the credit busi- ness,"" the judge told him, ‘and you will have to pay the fine or go down.” “I can’t pay it today.” Leonard Lederer was in Freeman's alley last night, drunk and disorderly, and his pies this morning was, “I don’t remem- Policeman Auldridge remembered what happened, and Leonard went down in de- fault of fine. “I was only standing on the corner and wasn't doing any harm,” said Thos. John- son, colored. Policeman Auldridge charged that he was disorderly, and the usual fine was imposed. The last one in the line was a young man named Mike Pitt. He had been arrested in the Capitol grounds, where he was found sleeping off his drunk. As he was too drunk to stand trial, the case went over until tomorrow. —-—+—__ EXCURSIONS. “all I There will be no family day at River View tomorrow, Friday, as the day has been given up to the excursion for the benefit of the unemployed printers of Washington city. Saturday, however, will be a regular family day, and the steam- er Pentz will leave at 10 a.m., 2 and 6:45 p.m., and will return at the usual hours. The fare for the round trip on the two early boats is but 10 cents, but on the even- ing boat it is 25 cents. This will be the last of ihe Saturday family trips for the season of 1896, and parents should give their chil- dren this last opportunity to have a good time in the open air for a day. Capt. E. S. Randall has determined to give another of those pleasant family ex- cursions to Chapel Point on the steamer Samuel J. Pentz on Tuesday next, and the announcement will give pleasure to many who wish to repeat the trip of last Tuesday. The Pentz will, as on her for- mer trips, leave her wharf at 9:45 a.m.,and will arrive at Chapel Point in time to give the excursionists five hours for crabbing, bathing and fishing. On this trip, there will be music on the steamer and dancing wil! be indulged in. both going to and re- turning from the Point, as well as in the hardscme pavilion while there. ———n Spend tomorrow at Rockville fair.

Epworth Leaguers will hold their annual convention November 13, 14 and 15. This determination was reached last night at a meeting of the board of control, held in Foundry Church. The place of meeting was not decided upon. The meeting last night. was called to or- der and presided over by Mr. F. E. Tasker, president of the local organization. Devo- tional exercises were conducted by Rev. L. D. McDougle of Alexandria. President ‘Tasker made a brief report, showing that the league was in a healthful condition. He reccommended that the league assist in a series of meetings to be held by the Anti- saloon League, beginning October 4, and Mrs. M. M. Mitchell was appointed in charge of the arrangements. F. E. Tasker and F. J. Metcalf were appointed represen- tatives to the American Anti-saloon League convention in October. Treasurer Austin reported the state of the finances of the league, and urged that some action be taken looking toward the liquidation of a debt of $50. Announce- ment was made of the admission of the Congress Heights Chapter into the league, making a tota! of thirty-five chapters in the District league. Rev. Mr. McDovgle of Trinity M. E. Church, Alexandria, made a short talk, in which he requested that at some time in the near future a rally of the league be held in his church. 8. F. Stokeley and O. F. Baggett of Alexandria also made brief remarks. The October mass meeting will be held in the Fifteenth Street M. E. Church in this city October 9, and will be in charge of the literary department. Following this announcement came the discussion of the plans for the annual con- vention, and the date was determined upon as already stated. A committee, consist- ing of the officers, was appointed to take charge of the matter. These are Fred. B. Tasker, president; T. J. Clarke, Mrs. M. M. Mitchell, Mrs. H. B. Moulton and W. J. Palmer, vice presidents; F. T. Israel, re- cording secretary; George S. Gibson, cor- responding secretary; 8. G. Austin, treas- urer, and Miss Estelle Crump, junior su- berintendent. The president stated that there was unanimity of opinion as to the desirability of holding in this city in 1899 the interna- tional convention of the organization, and that active steps were being taken having this object in view. Before adjournment, announcement was made of the retirement from league work in this city of F. B. Lit- tle, president of the Dumbarton Chapter, who leaves the city in a few days to ac- cept a professorship at the Scranton, Pa., High School. Mr. Little’s departure was looked upon as a real loss to the District league, and many regrets were expressed at his determination to leave the city. oe AND 0. CONNECTION. A B. It is Rumored That Mr. Carnegie In tends to Gobble It Up. Andrew Carnegie, according to the state- ment of a prominent Baltimore and Ohio official to a Star reporter, is preparing to gobble up or destroy the Pittsburg and Western railroad, the most important con- nection the Baltimore and Ohio has at Pittsburg; the only route by which its cars reach Lake Erie and likewise the only way by which it can reach Chicago junc- tion except by the old way, now to a great extent discarded, by passengers via Graf- ton, W. Va., and Bellaire, Ohi In order to accomplish his purpose Mr. Carnegie has, as has been known for some time past, become the controlling spirit in the Pittsburg, Shenango and Lake Erie railroad, which extends from Butler, a short distance northeast of Pittsburg, to Girard, on Lake Erie, and he recently’ se- cured a charter under which he has au- thority to build a lMne of railway from Pittsburg to Buffalo. In addition to running west from Pitts- burg, the Pittsburg and Western has & line extending in a northeasterly direction from Pittsburg to the town of Ormsby, a few miles south of the New York state line, and distant about seventy-five miles from Buffalo, which Mr. Carnegie, it is stated, desires to reach in order to have a better port of shipment for the products of his immense mills. ‘There is not much doubt that Mr. Carne- gie’s plans will be carried out, as he has secured the services of Mr. J. T. Odell, for- merly general manager of the Baltimore and Ohio and more recently vice president and generai manager of the New York and New England road, to push the scheme forward, and it is said that the former has stated his willingness to spend $5,000,000 for the enterprise if that sum should’ be nccessary to command success. At the present time the Pittsburg and Western is in the hands of a receiver, and it is likely to remain there for some time unless some one who wants it will come to its relief. Of course, Mr. Carnegie could reach the lake inuch sooner by securing control of the Pittsburg and Western, if he can buy that corporation out, tnan he could by paralleling the road, and those who are posted say that the country through which the P. and W. passes could not possibly support two roads. The most attractive feature about the Pittsburg and Western, as an investment, seems to be that it possesses a magnificent harbor anti extensive wharf property, and other real estate at Fairport on Lake Erie, and were Mr. Carnegie the owner of it it Is belleved he would make extensive improvements there. The Pittsburg, Shenango and Lake Erle is at present a line of rather insignificant dimensions, as roads go nowadays, but with the improvements and additions pro- jected by Mr. Carnegie, and with the Pitts: burg and Western lines as branches, as is sald to be contemplated, it would speedily* beccme one of the most Important systems in the lake section of the country. It is expected that the entire road from Butler to Buffalo, if it should be that Mr. Carnegie can not secure the Pittsburg and Western, will be completed within a year. It 1s stated that Mr. Carnegie has al- ready been assured by many of the other manufacturers of Pittsburg that they will patronize the new line when finished to the full extent of their power, and that all goods made by them and sent to Cana- dian points will be shipped by the Pitts- burg, Shenango and Lake Erie. It ts be- Meved that the proposed line when com- pleted will be of great assistance in tne further development of Pittsburg and Al- legheny. It 1s understood that the surveys for the entire line have been completed and that much of the grading has also been done, while inany culverts and bridges are also being constructed. — Bond Furnished for Williams. Yesterday afternoon the Commissioners acted upon the recommendation of Maj. Moore and made an order dismissing Off- cer Dan Williams, the dismissal to take effect August 25, the day the officer be- came a fugitive. Bond in the sum of $3,000 was given late in the afternoon, and the accused officer was released from custody. Mr. F. D. Foster was accepted as his bondsman, and he returned home with his son. Bond was furnished for the defendant by some of his intimate friends, who were associated with him about court in con- nection with Mr. Foster, and noi by those who had been associated with him in the numerous societies with which he was connected. The work of investigating the court's accounts will be commenced Monday, as published in yesterday's Star, and the accused officer has volunteered to assist In this work. When Williams reach- ed St. Louis he had only about $2 in his pocket, and although the races had caused his downfall he lost no time in getting to the race track there, but as the price of admission was {1 he concluded he would rot give up this amount. Williams is in reality a very sick man, and some of his friends believe he will not live to stand trial. It is stated that his friends will make every effort to make good the shortage and prevent, if possible, a criminal prosecution. ——— Mra. Bradstreet's Answer. Responding to the suit for divorce re- cently filed against her in New Jersey, Mrs. Mamie E. Bradstreet will today, through Attorney Campbell Carrington, forward her answer to Trenton. In her answer Mrs. Bradstreet not only denies her husband’s charges of infidelity with ex-Congressman A. M. Bliss and others, but she prays for divorce in a cross Dill, in which she alleges cruel treatment on the part of her husband, and charges him with misconduct. Mrs. Bradstreet also claims that her husband is a resident of Philadelphia and not of New Jersey. > Flooring, $1.50 per 100 Feet. Kiln-dried, heart, one width, and all one length.

Painters’ Unicon, No. 170, will not parade on Labor day. When the movement to have -w parade’ was: first started» by ; the Central Labor Uniom the painters entered into the scheme with great enthusiasm an} voted to take part in the: demonstration. Subsequently, from some unexplaine cause, they rescinded that action. U learning of: this the Central Labor Union appointed a committee composed of Messrs. Canty, Crowley’ and McCrink ta call on the painters and ask them to re- consider thelr second -acticn and join with the other trade union’ bodies in the pa- rade. The committee called at the meeting of the painters which was held last evening and stated.the desire of the Centrat: Labor Union in reference to the matter, but they were unable to induce them ‘to paradé on Labor day. Later, President Spohn of the Central Labor Union, at the request of some of the members of the Painters’ Union, called at the meeting and renewed the invitation. He addressed the union, re- minding them that theirs was the youngest trade union organization in the city and was formed through the efforts of the C: tral Labor Union: that it was sustained the latter body and that of the Buildin: Trades Council, and that those two bodi considered that it was the duty ‘of the painters to participate in the parade with those who tendered them every assistan-e and without whose aid it. would be im- possible for the Painters’ Union to exist. otwithstanding the earnest appeal made by President Spohn, the painters refused resitively to participate in the parade. They, however, voted to impose a fine of 35 on any member who works on Labor day. The members were also directed to call at the meeting place of the union Monday morning next at { o'clock, when the roll of names. Wijl. be. called, and they. will he dis-, missed, efter which they will be at liberty fo anjoy.the day as they pleasent ds ex- pected that many of the members will go down the riverto a piente. = s¢* mere | What the Fresco Painters Desire. The painters, after deciding upon the course they would pursue in reference to the parade, cons‘dered a communication from Secretary Elliott of the National Painters and Decorators’ Organization, which had -been received’ by Organizer Weber, relative to the chartering by the national organization of a fresco painters’ union, It was stated that the fresco paint- rs desired to become affiliated with the national body as @ distinctive organization. In the letter Secretary Elliott expressed gratification that the fresco painters be thus organized, and he would willing!y grant them the charter provided the paint- ers were willing, and he hoped they would give their consent, as 1t would add ancther union to the national body, which is no: working outside of the national painters’ Jurisdiction. A committee was appointed to call upon the fresco painters at their meeting tonight and confer with them in reference to the matter and agree, if possible, upon the fu- ture trade relations of the two bodies, in the event ofa charter being granted to the fresco painters. Irresponsible Collectors. It is stated that two men, who had no authority for the purpose, have been col- lecting money from:several business men, alleging that they were commissioned by the Labor day committce of the local Fed- eration and District: Assembly 66, Knights of Labor, to do 89, and the committee wishes to warnthe public against them. —_—.

Pullman last week told a Prominent Baltimore and Ohio official, so the latter informed a Star reporter, that when he shall have completed his contract for building 1,000 freight cars for the Bal- timore and Ohio, which would not be later than the date mentioned, he intended to shut down the freight department of his big works and not reopen it until business picks up, which he did not believe would occur until the question is settled whether or not free silver is to carry the ¢lection in November. Mr. Pullman further said that he greatly regretted to be compelled to adopt this course, as by doing so more than 400 men would be thrown out of em- ployment for an indefinite period, but that there was no other way for him to do. The same official said that a similar state of affairs will occur at Mount Ver- non, Ohio, where 1,000 men have been for some time past engaged on Baltimore and Ohio work, now about finished; also at the Missouri Car Works, St. Louis, Mo., where a discharge of 500 men expected to ta Place as soon as a small contract which che concern has to fill at the expiration of their present contract for the Baltimore and Ohio executed. The other equipment recently ordered by the receivers of the Baltimore and Ohio, and consisting of a number of lecomotiv: built in various shops throughout the country, and ten combination cars built by Barney & Smith of Dayton, Ohio. will also be delivered to the new owners during the present month. Nearly all of the repair shops of the Bal- timcre and Ohio ere now running with a full force of mecharics, as it is the tion of the management to keep the gines, cars, ete., up to a high standard.
