Ackerman against Mar- tha McIntire, the complainant prays that her conveyance of sublot square 992, to the defendant be set aside. ‘The complainant, through Attorney Myer Cohen, alleges that several years ago she placed the property in the hands of E. A. McIntire, a brother of the defendant, to sell. She claims that McIntire made a fic- titious sale of the property, whereupon she sued him. Pending a final decree in that case, she says, McIntire induced her last July to deed the property to his sister, the defendant, by certain alleged muisrep- resentations. She was also induced by him in the same way, she says, to make an aitidavit diametrically opposite to what she had sworn to in her suit against him. She! new repudiates both the detu aud asiaavit, | saying that they were made because among other things, of her enfeebled physi- cal and mental health. ——— 32.00 Palms and Ferns, $1.00.

Amswer Questions—Those Who Were Guilty. There was a long procession of petty af- fenders in Judge Kimball’s court this morn- ing, most of the victims being colored. In- cluded in the party were several women. “Old-timers are scarce,” remarked Police- man Flynn, when the procession started, “because so many of them are doing long Maria Jackson, a colored woman who had been intoxicated Saturday night, led the procession, and Policeman Pierce appeared as the prosecuting witness. “She could walk all right,” the policeman said, “but she was drunk. When I saw her she was with her husband and another man, and the former was trying to get her in the house.” “Some fellows came around there Satur- day night and got my old man drunk,” said Maria, “‘and I told the policeman to arrest him because he was noisy.” + “But the policeman .says you were drunk,” Judge Kimball, said to her. “What have you to say about that?” “No, indeed, judge,” she said, “I wasn’t drunk, but the old man was.” “She was very drunk,” said the officer. aa will have to pay a fine of five dol- rs.”” Policeman Bradley aileged that Bood Per- ry, a colored boy, had been engaged in a game of crap on Wylie street yesterday, but the boy made a denial. “I stood and watched the game,” the po- liceman said, “and when I went to arrest the participants, the others ran, and I could only catch this one boy.” said the prisoner, “I wasn’t Playing no crap. I was standing on my front door step watching the game when the policeman came along.” “I saw him in the game,” the policeman said, “and saw him throw the bones.” As the policemen discounted Bood’s word the court imposed a fine of $10 or thirty lays. Next in line was a white boy named Ollie Morgan, and Policeman Bloom alleged that he had participated in a game of crap. “I vasn’t playin’ crap,” said the boy“one of the boys picked up a bone where we had been playin’ marbles. “I've warned this boy as much as a half dozen times,” said the officer. “Did you see any money?” “No, sir, but I saw one of the boys grab something.” The boy repeated his denial and because the court was not satisfied that there was a game of crap being played the boy was released. James Holloran and several companions went visiting in South Washington Satur- day night. When the party started. home James was m‘ssing. He had gone off from the others and was taking a. nap.. which lasted until after midnight. At about 2 o'clock. in the morning -Po- liceman Vanderschaaf met him and asked: “What are you doing out here at this hour of the mcrning?” “None of your business,” was the young man’s prompt response, and then he was arrested. In his pockets the officer. found two stones and a charge of suspicion was preferred against him. James had good friends ang so bond for his release was given. — 5 “If you had told the policeman the truth,”’ the judxe said to him, “you would have saved yourself all this trouble.” “I didn’t know 1 had to answer ques- tions when I wasn’t coing anything.” “When @ person is found on the street at such an hour it is the duty of an offi- cer to inquire about him,” the judge sald. “and kereafter if you are stopped and questioned you will save yourself. trouble by answering truthfully.” The charge agairst him was dismissed. Andrew Willicms says he works and lives at the Hotel Vendome, and last night after church he went home with his lady friend. He has only been here from the country a short time. and in Virginia he had been in the habit of returning home late. There was no reason, ¢o his mind, why he could not do the same thing here, and late last night he did it. But he got in trouble, and had to make an expianatiou tris morning. “I thought I was shot,” he said, “and that's why I ran go fast.” “I heard noise in a hen roost about 2 o'clock this morning,” Policeman Wheeler said, “and I saw this man coming from.the direction of the chicken house. When he saw me he ran, and Policemen Batson and Tracy caught him.” = “Are you sure he’s the man?’ the court asked. “Yes, sir.” “Did you keep hira in sight all the time?” ‘0, sir.” = Williams told of his going to church, and said he was belated becaus¢ he stopped to watch a fire on the commons. -~- “{ wasn’t near any chickens,” he said. “TI live at the hotel and couldn't do any- thing with chickens if I had them.” He was discharged. Edward Edwards, a small boy, who was found with a “beanshooter” on Waiter street, was in the toils, and Policeman Ricketts made the compiaint against him. “A great many complaints have been re- ceived about boys with beanshooters,” the officer said, “and I arrested this boy cn Water street. I hope, however, that your honor will be lenient with him, because his parents are good people, and are unabie to pay a fine.” The boy admitted his guilt, and said he was sorry for it. “This is a dangerous practice,” the judge told the boy. “I would rather have a stone thrown at me than have one sent from one of these dangerous beanshooters.” The court adopted the officer’s suggestion and took the boy’s personal bonds. Annie Chase and Lizzie Cole, colored girls, were in the toils because they in- dulged in a war of words about William Campbe.l Judge Kimball said he could not under- stand why these women would fight about a man, and fined the girls $5 each. —— Small's Flowers.

Baldwin, cashier of the Traders’ National Bank, was buried yes- terday afternoon. The funeral services, held at St. Stephen's Church, Mt. Pleasant, were conducted by the rector, Rev.

Seengerbund : friends of the organization last evening at the club: house, 314 C street. A delightful Program was rendered, all of the numbers being such as to please and gratify the most exacting tastes of the audience that} : was present, and the whole occasion was one of enjoyment from the beginning to th end. Donch’s Orchestra opened with Bach’: “Schauspiel,” and was followed by Presi- Gent Clardy of the Bund in an address of welcome. Then the chorus of the organi- zatiqn was heard in two numbers, under the directon of Mr. Henry Xander, who has assumed the musical directorship of the Saengerbund for the season. it is safe to say that the members of the chorus never did better, and the ability of their new lead- er was felt and appreciated in every phase of the work performed. The chorus ren dered Storch’s “Nachtzauber,” and Wein- zierl’s “Heute Ist Heut!” and gave both in @ spirited manner. Mr.,Sol Minster played the prize song from “Die Meistersinger” as a violin solo in a style that won for him the immediate praise of his hearers, and gave Wienawski’s Mazurka as an encore. Mrs. Esputa-Daly sang two numbers— ‘Thomas’ “A Summer Night” and “Ben Bolt,” being accompanied in the latter by her young son Norman, who also played a Piano solo very effectively. Mr. Edward Bergenholtz, assisted by Donch’s Orchestra, gave a trombone solo that was highly appreciated, and Mr. Leo. Stiefel sang a tenor sol “Once More,” which en- Usted the sympathies of his hearers at once. Mr. F. Altrup sang a comic song, and, on being accorded an encore, gave a recitation in German. The entertainment closed with Donizetti's “Lucia di Lammer- moor,” by the orchestra, putting an end toe one of the most successful home events ever held by the Saengerbund and making a splendid start on the rew season's work. A COLORED PRESSMAN. His Employment at the Government Printing Office Causes a Controversy. The civil service commission hes informed Messrs. M. D. Fenton and tne other mem- bers of the exécutive board of the Print- ing Pressmen’s Union of this city that Edward L. Carter, a colored pressman at the government printing office, can not be Ceprived of his position for reasons laid be- fcre the commission by the union. The circumstances of the case, as stated by members of the union and shown by the records in the office of the civil service com- mission, are that Carter, who then lived in Bay City, Mich., was the first colored man to receive <n appointment as pressman after the civil service was extended to the governmentyprinting office. He entered upon his ‘duties there March 28 last, after a rigid examination, in which he received a very high percentage. He was assigned to the charge of one of the most intrieate printing machines in the office, and it is said by even some of those4- who are most bitterly opposed to him that he soon became an expert in running the press. Carter's presenc2 in the press room was objecticnable to some of the other men em- ployed there, and the matter was brought to the attention of the Pressmen’s Union. They instituted an investigation as to Car- ter’s antecedents in the printing business, and it is said learned that he had served eight years in a press room—four as an ap- Frentice and four as a journeyman. The executive board, however, wrote a letter to the civil service commission alleging that Carter had not complied with the rules of the Printing Pressmen’s Union, as form- ulated by the International Typographical Union, and intimated that they would like to have Carter discharged from his place. Upon the receipt of the communication from Messrs. Fenton and others of the local union. the civil service commission lNkewise: made an investigaticn and found that Car- ter had complied with the civil service law and also of the Pressmen’s Union, to which he was permitted to belong when a resi~ dent of Bay City, but that he had not been a member of the union of this city because he could not join on account of his color. Thereupon President John R. Procter of the commission informed the executive boafd of the union that they would take no action in the matter. Within the past few weeks Public Printar Benedict has appointed eight or nine col- ored women to pluces in the folding depart- rent of the printing office, ecch of whom pessed a civil service. examination. Officials of the civil service commission are much pleased at the acticn of Mr. Benedict in the matter, and in conversation with a Star reporter said that under civil service rules a much better class of col- ored pcople have gained entrance into the departments than was the case when ap- pointments were only secured through in- fluence. In a letter to the commission, and which is on file at the office of the latter, Mr. John M. Langston expressed his great gratification that so many colored persons have secured government positions. A calculation made by him showed that in the District of Columbia alone the salaries paid those referred to amounted to several hundreds of thousards of dollars. ——— AN ENJOYABLE GATHERING. Sons and Daughters of Maine Renew Their Pleasant Meetings. The Sons and Daughters of Maine en- Joyed a delightful reunion Saturday even- ing, and the members vied with each other in recounting the pleasures they had ex- perienced in their summer outings, which were taken, of course, in the forests or along the coasts of the old pine tree state. The meeting, at which much business was transacted, was presided over by Vice President Pitman Pulsifer. The next meeting will be held November 7, when an elaborate and attractive program will be presented. ee Journeyman Plasterers. An organization of journeymen plasterers was formed at a meeting held last evening at Electrical Workers’ Hall, 508 11th street northwest. The organization will be known as the Independent Plasterers’ Association, and will be allied withthe Plasterers’ Na- tional Union and also with the American Federation of Labor. Locally it will be represented in the Building Trades Council and the Ceniral Labor Union. The temporary organization was effected by the election of the following officers: Frank Procter, president; Oliver Preston, vice president; Frederick W. Goulden, sec- retary; William Newman, treasurer. Another meeting will be held next Sun- day evening, when a permanent organiza- tion will be effected. The organizer was in- structed to procure a charter from the na- tional body having headquarters in Phil- adelphia, and also a local charter from the American Federation. After effecting a permanent. organization delegates will be elected to the Central Labor Union and the Building Trades Council. The board of managers of the Working- man’s Library Association and Labor Bu- reau met Saturday evening at their headquarters, No. 314 8th street northwest. Secretary Maidens, who has charge of the plans for increasing the revenue of the library, reported that the system of mem- bership cards was proving a great success. ——__ Stealing Bicycles. Four years ago, when John Wise, colored, was arrested for the theft of a bicycle, he was twenty years old and did not have a trade. Had he been fortunate enough to have had a trade he might have worked and bought an fron horse. When tried in court the judge thought he should live at Albany long enough to learn how to earn his living. A sentence of three and one- half years was imposed, but John does’ not seem to have profited by his experience, for he is now under arrest for similar thefts, and he told the officers where he had dis- posed of the wheels. He is now charged with the theft of two wheels, one the prop- erty of J. T. White, and the other of G. P. Hooker. One wheel he took apart and sold the wheels for $3, and a cyclometer and tools for 50 cents. Mr. Julius Emner, an electrician, is charged with having received one of the stolen bicycles and the wheels of the other bike. For the bicycle and two wheels he paid $10, so it is charged. De- tectives Boyd, Lacy and Boardman the case in charge, and Judge Miller probably hear the evidence tomorrow. J Bishop C. C. McCabe will address a mis- sionary mass meeting at Foundry M.

Ockastadt Says Her Husband Pinched Her Black and Blue. Mary F. Ockstadt today petitioned fer divorce from George L. Ockstadt, to whom she was married at Rockville, Md., March 12, 1895, when she was but eighteen years of age, and the defendant only twenty. _ Shortly after the marriage, says Mrs. Odkstadt, her husband began to abuse and cruelly treat her, on various occasions emu- lating the example of “Jack, the pincher,” by pinching her arm until it was black and blue from shoulder to elbow.” Seeking refuge with her mother, to whom her hus- band would confess his wrong and promise to amend, Mrs. Ockstadt" says she returned to her husband on thres d:fferent occasions upon such assurances of his, but only, she declares, to receive a renewal of unkind treatment. More than that, she asserts, he threatened to kill her, struck at her with his fist, cursed her, and kept her in con- stant dread and fear of him. Because of such alleged treatment, Mrs. Ockstadt says she suffered, and is now suffering, from nervous prostration, and she believes it would be dangerous to her Kife.and health to resume her marital rela- ticns. She was then forced, she states, to eave her husband October 21, 1895, and .geturn to her parents, with whom she is ncw residing. She also declares that her husband failed to provide her with the necessaries of life, on one occasion, she ex- plains, giving her but sixty cents with which to provide food for three weeks. She prays that she may be allowed to resume ler maiden name, and that she be also al- fowed suitable alimony and counsel fees. She is represented by Attorney Mason N. | Richardson. fs os OFFICERS ELECTED. Annual Meeting of the Men's Society | of the Charch of the Covenant.
