Cases-in the Police Court This Morn- ing and the Sentences Which Were Given “Me byes,” said Policeman Flynn to thé reporters this morning In an exceedingly confidential tone, “‘O'ill tell yez a bit av a story. We hev wid us this marning Rosey Blue. Ha, ha, me byes, ’tink av it, Rosey Blue, and she fs an ole timer, that she 1s, to be sure. An’ Lawyer Moss is to defend her, and John do appear to be in a sorry humor an this occasion. Me byes, Ol am av the opmyun that we are to be treated to some amoosment an this bright fall marn- ing, that we are; so keep your peepers on the alert.” “John Braund,” called Clerk Harper, and an individdal who presented every appear- ance of having recently been an active par- ticipant in ‘a railroad disaster hobbled to the rail. John was swathed in bandages of many folds in thickness, and he an- swered not guilty to an information charg- ing vagrancy. The policeman who made the arrest ex- plained to the court that some time ago Braund was badly burned, and the physi- cians at the Emergency Hospital have been trying a skin-grafting experiment on him. Since he has been released from the hos. pital, said the policeman, John has been almcst continually drunk. “I think it would be an act of charity, concluded the complaining witness, “‘to send the man where he can receive treate ment and be unable to procure whisky.” ‘Your honor, give me another chance, was all John cared to say. | “The policemen have giving you sufficient opportunities to reform. I shall send you down for twenty days and direct that you be placed in the hospital.” Edward DeGray is an aged white man. He visited a police station last night, and, after explaining that he was without home, friends or money, asked to be sent down. The story was repeated to Judge Kimball today when DeGray made some slight mention of being in trouble. “Your sole trouble is whisky,” sald the court, significantly. “I will accommodate yeu, though, with ninety days. Selling a Ring. John Clark, a young white man, was arrested last evening on I street, while en- deavoring to sell a gold ring. The police- man thought the circumstances were sus- picious and placed him under arrest. “I have some goods in the hands of an express company.” said the prisoner, “and I was endeavoring to raise money to pay the charges on them. The ring belongs to me. if you are not careful you will render yourself liable to prosecution for peddling without a license. I will let you go this time. Eugenie Smith, colored, was held to an- swer two charges. One was cruelty to ani- mals and the other disorderly conduc Humare Officers Replinger and Ross peared as complainants against Smith. They errested him for driving a horse with a sore back, they said, and he thereupon acted in a disorderly manner, and another charge was placed against him. Smith declared himself not guilty of the accusaticns. The horse did not belong to him, he said, and because he refused to take It to the station the disorderly charge was placed against him. “I will dismiss the cruelty to animals charge,” said the court, “but you are fined $3 or nine days fer disorderly conduct.” Rosey Blue. ‘Rosey Blue,” announced the clerk. “What is your name, Rosey Blue or Rosey Washington?” “Perhaps it is Roses Red,” Mess. “‘Violets are blue. pink waist.” “My name is Rosey Blue,” erer. in a martyred tone. Profenity was the charge against Rosey. “She is my client, and our plea is not said Moss. ‘s, talk yer talk,” whispered Flynn. Oi am right ferninst yer.” William Callaway was the complaining witness,-and he said that Rosey not only vendered the air blue, but her actions “drew a large excitement.” The prisoner, he said, called him “all corts of bow-legged names. Rosey’s defense was to the effect that Callaway had assaulted her with a stick and she was sure she did not make use of improper l:nguage. The preponderance of testimony was against Rosey, however, and she was fined “Moss, yez are no lawyer,” remarked Flynn, as he left the room with a wink to the reporters, supplemented by an air of disgust. George Reinfeis was convicted of selling liquor to minors. He was fined $0 and allowed until tomorrow to pay up. John F. Stowell paid $1 into the coffers of the court for riding a bicycle last even- ing without a light. —— No Sunday Street Cars in Toronto. To the Editor of ‘The Evening Star: TORONTO, Canada, September 15, 1896. Street cars are not run Sanday in this city. There is a good deal going on, how- ever. The regular mail trains and steam- ers come and go; mails are collected and dispatched; hotels are open for travelers; the city parks are free and are frequented by pedestrians; picnic parties and thou- sands of bicyclists, and “The Island,” a harbor place of resort, oyned by the city, is accessible by small steamers (round trip ticket, ten cents) running every few minutes. It 1s largely patronized in sum- mer by working men with their families, the attractions being fresh air of the lake and a sacred concert, given in the evening by the instrumental band, employed by the city. The largest business of the livery stables is done on Sunday, and there are no restrictions on the use of bicycles. But no street cars have ever been run in Toronto Sunday. When the street car franchise was first granted, it was supposed by the parties interested that Sunday cars would not have patronage enough to make them profitable. An article was inserted in the grant to the effect that they were not to be run unless a majority of the qualified electors should vote for it. The first vote taken showed a majority of more than seven thousand against Sunday cars. At a second vote, taken about three years ago, the majority had fallen to about thirteen hundred. A few weeks ago there was presented to the city council a petition for Sunday cars. It was signed by more than elevei thousand voters out of a_ whole number of twenty-one thousand, indicating a large majority for the measure on the next vote. It is the general opinion that Surday cars will be running next year. There is a property qualification for mun- icipal srffrage. Any qualified widow or un- married woman can vote. The qualifica- tion excludes the working classes. As well as I could judge, those opposing Sunday cars are: First. Rich widows and old maids; they do not use cheap cars, preferring car- riages, cabs and bicycles, and they think working people ought to walk to church Sunday. Second. Preachers and leading members of churches in the city outskirts; their services are best attended when people can’t get to the central churches. This happens often in winter. Third. The presbyterles and other ec- clesiastica’_sssemblies. Fourth. Some church members who re- gard as a sin any work done on Sunday. Those favoring Sunday cars are: First. The werking classes, but they can't vote. Second. Persons Mving in the suburbs who wish to attend the central churches. Third. Preachers and leading members of the central churches. These say little, but will vote the “for’’ ticket. Fourth.. Business men generally. These believe that a large amount of trade is di- verted from Toronto to Montrexl; country merchants call Toronto “a slow town, “not up to dateg and go to Montreal to buy stocks. As Toronto is the only North American city of its population that does not let street cars run on Sunday the next vote on the subject will be hotly contested. W.

Winkler and His Big Steal- ings — Robbed Registered Mail Packages. The post office authorities were today ad- vised that Walton C. Winkler, who on April 21, 1889, absconded from Galveston, ‘Tex., with a number of registered mail packages, was in custody in New York, and would be held by the authorities there to await advices from Washington. Inquiry at the department by a Star re- Porter caused a careful search of the rec- ords by various officials, with the result that it was discovered that the full extent of Winkler’s depredations was never made known, as the packages being registered the losses fell on the remitters, who, it is supposed, being aware that the govern- ment was not responsible for valuables sent in the registered mail, did not make any formal complaint to the authorities in ‘reference to the matter. From Winkler’s own statements in the matter it is assumed that the proceeds of the robbery were very large, as he has been enabled, according to his own story, to travel nearly all over the world, stop- ping at only the best hotels of the dif- ferent cities he visited, and to enjoy him- self in any way he felt disposed. Now, however, he has reached the end of his string, and yesterday he walked into one of the police stations in New York and Stated to the officer in charge that he was a fugitive from justice and desired to sur- render himself. Winkler gave as the rea- son for his course that he was now both penniless and penitent; that his conscience troubled him greatly, and he wanted to re- turn to Texas and pay the penalty for his crime. The self-accused man was then placed in a cell. ‘The records show that Winkler, who was @ resident of Corsicana, Texas., was ap- pointed a clerk in the railway mail service earty in 1887, at which time he was but eighteen years old, and was assigned to werk on the Newton and Galveston divis- jon of the Atchiscn, Topeka and Santa Fe railway, and that he absconded, April 21, 1889, whereupon he was promptly removed. The chief inspector in this city hag as- signed Inspector Jacobs to make a full in- vestigation of the truth of Winkler’s state- ments in regard to his alleged crime, and when the latter makes his report, a decision will be made as to what course the govern- ment will further pursue in the matter. Winkler is about five feet seven inches tall, and slightly built. He has brown hair and wears a thin, short beard and mus- tache. His features are small and not at all striking. He was very cool ani col- lected in the station, and was willing to give an account of all the details of his flight, except as to the amount of money he says he stole. He said he knew the exact sum to a penny, but for reasons best known to him- self he refused to divulge it. He admitted, however, that it was very large. Winkler said that he got tired of working for a small salary, and determined to take the first good opportunity to make a big raise from the registered mail pouches. He watched his chance, and it came in the spring of 1889. The sudden sickness of a fellow-clerk gave him this chance in April of that year. i As it happened, the registered mail was a heavy one on this particular trip, and, having no companion, he had, he said, full leisure to examine the registered packages. He says he took everything of value tnd burned the rest. Leaving the train the end of his run, just as it was entering Gal- veston, he made his way to Canada, and stayed a couple of months in Toronto and Montreal. From Canada he went, to Chi- cago, and from there to San Francisco. After remaining in San Francisco a week he went to Australia, and then came back to San Francisco. On his last visit to that city he remained five weeks, and put up at the Palace and Baldwin hotels. From San Francisco he went to Chile. and from there to several other South American points. He finally reached La Guayra, in Venezuela, with but little of his stolen wealth left. He secured a cheap passage on a sailing vessel, and reached New York sixteen days ago. He says that he was robbed of the last of his money in a Bowery lodging house, and had been prac- tically starving for the past three days. The pinch of hunger and remorse impelled him, he said, to surrender himself. Winkler was later taken before United States Commissioner Alexander, to whom he again repeated his confession. He was committed to Ludlow street jail as a fed- eral prisoner until the Washington author- ities are heard from. ————— A Nat to Crack. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The papers report Mr. Bryan as again asking: “Can the United States take all the silver offered? If so, we can maintain the parity. The only way to know absolutely ts to try,” &e. Discretion would suggest that before try- ing, we find out what we are going to try. With that view, the finance committee of the United States Senate prepared the vol- ume known as the “Coinage Laws.” Mr. Bryan would do well to read the ex- tract from Prof. Lexis, on page 114, where it is shown that the production of silver in the sixteen years from 1876 to 1891 aggre- Bated $2,109,394,000, while the coinage was only $1,560,000,000, and tell his hearers what has become of the $54,394,000 of un- coined silver. Then if he will add to that sum the production from 1892 to 1896,which was about $25,250,000 (according to tables on page 103) he will have a nut to crack with his “law of supply and demand” which will tax its hammering qualities to the amount of $1,500,000,000 of uncoined sil- ver lying around loose, waiting for the opening of the mints of the United States. These are not the writer's figures; they are taken from that repository of silver facts, &c., “The Coinage Laws of the United States,” prepared as aforesaid. The law of supply and demand has had an experimental test on a purchase of 54,- 000,000 ounces (the American output yearly), not only without creating an up- ward tendency in the price of silver, but with an actual fall. And “as coming events cast their shadows before,” there ought to be “In sight” at least a shade or a shadow of increase in price amidst the ‘‘en- thusiasm” that welcomes Mr. Bryan as the coming man, who will raise the “price of silver to $1.29 in gold all over the world.” Speculation, usually so alert and swift to seize an oportunity, fails to see the least encouragement to invest for a rise in the bullion value of silver. There were statesmen in this country be- fore Mr. Bryan, and there were sincere friends of silver when he was muling and puling in the nurse’s arms. The great Sec- retary of the Treasury, Mr. Manning, held that the “silver trouble’ was universal, and that the remedy must be international, “for bimetallism was international or it was nothing.” N. T. ——__ A New Bicycle Club. The Beacon Light Bicycle Club of this city has been incorporated by articles filed by the following officers, the directors for the first year: Wm. S. Hawkins, presi- dent; John Gaskins, vice president; John H. Penrose, financial secretary; D. Brown, recording secretary; Wm. 8. Hawkins, treasurer, and Charles E. Williams, ser- geant-at-arms. The promotion of cycling and the mutual improvement of members are stated to be the objects of the club. —_.__ Held for the Grand Jury. Judge Kimball, in the Police Court yester- day afternoon,held Chas., alias Nick,Pongee and Robert, alias Hump, Burnett, colored, in $1,000 bonds each for the action of the grand jury to answer a charge of larceny from the person. They are accused of “holding up’ Frank Hayck, an old man, Saturday night last in Freedman’s alley and taking a gold watch from him. ——_—_ Medical Act. The Commissioners will shortly be called upon to defend the new medical act. Some time ago, as stated at the time in The Star, the health officer refused to register as a Practicing physician Dr. Maloney. The doctor has now engaged counsel, and will fight the matter in court. eee Senator Stephen B. Elkins is quite sick at his home, Elkins, W. Va., with malaria, and will not be able to take part actively in the West Virginia campaign for at least @ week to come. Enthusiastic RepublicanfRatification Meeting Held There Lmat Night. | ington. Mr. B. H. Warner: Presided and|Cascs in the Police Court and the Speeches Were Madde by Ex-Con- Results—Other Local Notes of gressman Mudéd:and Others. Interest. The republican ratifieation meeting held in Hyattsville last night was one of the biggest political demonstrations the town has ever seen. Although Masonic Hall, where the meeting took place, is a large hall, there was not even breathing space when the speech-making commenced, and there were fully as many peuple outside Ustening at the open doers and windows as occupied the seats and aisles inside the structure. The greatest amount of enthusi- asm prevailed, and the speakers were cheered to the echo. Shortly before 8 o'clock Weber's Band, which had been engaged for the occasion, set out from Bladensburg for the place of meeting. Several hundred men, members of the different clubs, under the auspices of which the meeting was held, occupied Places ‘in the line, a number carrying torches and other means of illumination when the parade started, and the number steadily increased as the procession neared Masonic Temple. The hall was fairly filled even then, a large percentage of the spec- tators being ladies, and the crowd that fol- lowed in the wake of the music filled it to suffocation. The hall presented an extreme- ly pleasing appearance, streamers of red, white and blue bunting hiding the celling, and the stand being draped with American ass. Mr. B. H. Warner Presided. Quite a little quiet campaigning was done by putting copies of all the best known sound money literature in the seats, so that every one could have something profitable to read in the quiet moments. The meeting was called to order by Mr. D. E. Graves of Bladensburg, who acted as_ temporary chairman, who introduced Mr. B. H. Warner ct Washington as the presiding officer. Mr. Warrer made a spirited speech, in which he appealed to his hearers to bring back that period of prosperity that existed before the Cemocrats secured’ control of the adminis- tration of the country's affairs, and paid in glowing language his respects to Mr. Bryan. Mr. Warner was greeted with the wildest Mr. Roy D. Hassler, special committee of the Bryan, Sewall and Rixey Club, yesxter- day received a letter from Mr. C. Studds of the Pennsylvania railroad, in which he stated that the train bearing Mr. Bryan would stop in Alexandria tomorrow at 3:28 o'clock p.m. for five minutes. Extensive prerarations are belng made to give Mr. Bryan a warm reception. Several cars will be attached to Mr. Bryan's train here for the Bryan, Sewall and Rixey Club cf this city, who will act as escort for their champion into Washington. Recovered the Clothes. Lieut. Smith yesterday afternoon s:c- ceeded in recovering three sults of clothes which were stolen in Washington on July 18 last, from a Chesapeake and Ohio rail- read car, at the home of the Bright boys on Queen street. James Duffy, allas “Hobo Jim,” was arrested in Washington several days ago charged with the theft. John Bright confessed to Lieut. Smith yesterday evening that “Hobo Jim” had given hin the clothes to sell for him some time ago. Bright was taken to Washington, where he is held a8 a witness. An Injunction Granted. Several of the residents on Fairfax street, between Prince and Duke, are up in arms over the acticn of the authorities in plac- ing a perforated top to the sewer opening in the middle of the square. They say that the gases which will necessarily emanate frcm the sewer will be detrimental to health. Those who have the construction of the sewer in charge say that it is 1 = sary in order to properly ventilate St. The residents yesterday evening applied to Judge J. K. M. Norton of the corporation court in regard to it, and he granted an in- junction stopping the work from being done until the matter can be investigated. A Pleasant Banquet.

Although Mr. Mudd did not try for oratorical effect, he: made a sound, sol- id argument for the return of republican prosperity, and led up to his discussion of the silver question by a@ short talk on the tariff. He sald that a rearrangement of the tariff system was absolutely necessary to provide for the deficiencies in the reve- nue, but that while the tariff did not fade into insignificance beside the other prob- lem now confronting the country, it cer- tairly falls into subordimation to it, and he would, therefore, take up the most of his time in the discussion of that problem. Mr. Mudd said that the country hesl.prac- tically been under the gold standard for nearly firty years, and that during that time the height of its prosperity had been seen. He made a@ plain statement of the proposition of the free coinage of silver, and gave a short history of the fall in price of that commodity. He followed this by an exhaustive discussion of the question of free coinage, and told of the different legis- lative acts which hed had to do with the money of the country. More Confidence Wanted. “We don't want more money,” he said, “but activity of the money already in ex- istence. We have plenty of currency; our banking system is good, and the need 1s not for more dollars, but for confidence in those which we already have. The banks, which hold the savings of the American laboring ran, must have confidence restor- ed, and then there will no more demand for increased currency Mr. Mudd also paid his respects to Mr. Bryan and the principles which he advo- cates, and made an eloquent appeal to maintain the honesty and integrity of this country with foreign nations. He spoke scathingly of the dollar worth less than one hundred cents with which it was pro- posed to pay debts which were incurred when dollars were worth the full amount, and concluded his speech by speaking of the relation between capital and labor. Mr. Warner called for three cheers for the candidate at the conclusion of Mr. Mudd’s speech, which were given with a will, and then Capt. William M. Potter of Laurel, Senator Wilkinson of St. Mary's and Mr. F. H. Smith of Hyattsville follow- ed with short speeches, In which they in- dorsed the platform of the republican party and urged their hearers to uphold it. Officers of the Meeting. The officers of the meeting, which was held under the auspices of all the repub- lican clubs of Bladensburg district, were as follows: Vice Presidents, Mr. Doc Garges, Major M. V. Tierney, Mr. J. A.

The meeting was held under the auspices of the Lakeland Democratic Club. The Mt. Pleasant Field Band was on hand to render music. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Meurice Claggett, and during his remarks an American flag and Bryan and Sewall streamer were raised, and the band played the “Star Spangled Banner.” Mr. Clagett spoke briefly and nominated the following officers of the meeting, who were elected: F. P. Clark, president; C. B.Graeves, secretary and treasurer; R. W. Hardes: M. Heaton, Wm. Clark, Samuel Lizear, Wm. L. Garrison, Geo. T. Cashel and Thomas Waters, vice presidents. On accepting the office of president Mr. Clark made a few remarks, and introduced the standard bear- er of the evening, Mr. Lee, who talked in an interesting manner for nearly two hours on the financial question and gave se eral reminiscences of the spot on which he stood, there having been other flag rais- ings there in the past. Mr.Lee has a strong voice and pleasing address, and made an effective speech. He was foilowed by Judge Lowe of Virginia, William V. Bouic of Rockville, H. W. Talbott, state senator from Montgomery county and William Morey, who stated he was a republican of Kensington. During the meeting the president an- nounced that there would be a meeting and club formed under the auspices of the Lakeland Club at Forrestville, Md., Mon- day, September 21, at 7 o'clock in the even- ing, and at Kensington, the 23d instant, at the same hour.
