IN| THE POLICE COURT Prisoners in the Processions Before the Judges Today. Those Who Were Guilty and Those Who Proved Their In. mocence. “I'm guilty,” was the plea of Joseph Lee, one of the seven colored prisoners in Judge Kimball's procession this morning, when arraigned on a charge of having used profane language on 2d street south- west last right. “I would like to say something in this case,” said the officer before the court had time to impose a penalty. ‘The prisoner became nervous in anticipa- tion of a heavy sentence, for he thought the policeman was going to make a damag- ing statement about him. But such was not the officer’s purpose,as he soon !earned. “Lee was using profanity last night,” said the officer, “but it was something un- usual for him. He’s a barber and Is a hard working man.” “Then do you think he has been pun- ished sufficiently?” Yes, sir.” “nd he’s been locked up over night’ “Yes, sir.” ‘Then,” said the court to the “you may take Lee’s personal bond: A man named Robinson, who gave his mame as Robert Anderson, when found sleeping in a box car was in the court's procession on a charge of vagrancy and suspicion, and his plea was one which indicated the man’s belief in his innocence. found him in a box car last night,” said the officer. ‘He had been drinking and said he had no place to go. While he has a wife and children he does not live with them, and he says his father won't recognize kim.”” "m not a vagrant,” was the prisoner’s statement. “Four years ago when I got out of work I went away and on my way home I got a job in Montgomery county. Yesterday I had $2 and I came in to tuy some underclothes.” “And bought whisky rupted the court. “L drank some. ent your money for whisky :nstead of for underclothing?” “Not all, I have 60 cents left.” “What are you going to do for urder- garments?” “I can go by my father’s house and get some and then I'll return to the country.” “If that is your intertion,” said the court, “you may go on your personal bonds.” Benjamin Hibbs has been a resident of this city for ten years, and today, for the first time in his life, he had an unpleasant experience. “I arrested him near the Mount Vernon station,” said Policeman Carson, ‘because he was disorderly. But I understand he has a wife and children, and I hope your honor will let him go.” “Do you want to say anything?” defendant was asked. “All I have to say,” he answered, “is that I had been drinking too much, but this is the first time I've been here.” “If you continue drinking liquor it will not be the last,” the court told him. “But I've quit it now.” “The officer has said a good word for you and I'm going to take your personal bonds.”” Rose Winfield, a Georgetown colored weman, was in court on a charge of dis- turbing the quiet of the section of the city in which she lives, and she said “I’m guilty.” “The court fines you $5.” Rose did not have the amount of fine, and so she went down. Lost His Candy. Peter Costa, an Italian push cart mer- chant, was in court on a charge of occu- pying 7th street near Pennsylvania avenue for business purposes. Had Peter submitted quietly to arrest he weuld not have lost so much of his candy ard the small boys would not have had such a good time. This arrest was made Saturday after- noon, and the prisoner put up such a strong objection that the officer used nippers. . E. Mitchell and J. M. Wheatly, young members of the bar, witnessed part of the arrest and followed to the station to get the officer's name in order that they might prefer charges against them. This trey told Judge Kimball, but the judge said he knew of Costa and his conduct better than the. young men. “My client lost about §0 worth of candy,” said Lawyer Niles, “and I hope in disposing of the case your honor will take this in consideration.” The judge granted his request and tcck Costa's personal bonds. William Rodgers and Clarence Gassaway were in the toils because Policemaa Mor- gan charged that they had been disor- derly in an alley in Southeast Washington. “There were six young colored men in Mark's alley,” the officer said, “and I was told that they were engaged in loud talk- ing. When i went to the alley I heard the loud talking and swearing.” can you say you heard these swear?” “No, sir.” “The men who were engaged in the quar- rel were not caught,” said one of the de- fendants. “Who used the bad language?" he was asked. “West Ford.” “And what were you doing?” the other defendant was asked. “Standing there listening to the quar- rel.”” Their personal bonds were taken. William J. Glennan said: “I’m guilty, but I'd like to make a statement.” The charge against him was vagrancy. “He in South Washington last night begging,” said the officer. “He was ask- ing for 1 cent, he said, hecause ne had 9 cents and wanted enough for a night's lodging.” “I'm from Baltimore,” said the priso- ner, \d am here looking for my dis- charge. “Why didn’t you write for it?” “Thought I could attend to it better my- self. ing what makes you so nervous this morn- ing?” “I had a drop too much.” “Ten days will get the drop out of you,” the judge told him, and he went down. THE BODY FOUND. lerk, instead?” inter- the men Remains of W. E. Godman Floating in the River. The remains of the late Mr. W. E. God- man, who has been missing from his home near Bladensburg since October 11, were last evening discovered by some citizens in the Anacostia river near Bennins, and after being taken from the river were sent to the sixth precinct morgue. As told in The Star at the time, Mr. Godman went out sailing in a boat on the day referred to and some hours later the boat was found, bettom upward, floating on the water. Search was made at the time for Mr. God- man, but no trace could be gotten of his whereabouts, nor was anything seen of his body until yesterday. —— Small's Flowers.

Mail Car Collections to Be Frequently. If it be found feasible it will probably be but a few days more before steps are taken by the railway mail division of the Post Office Department to extend the system of collections and delivery wagons to the mail car now running constantly between Georgetown and the Navy Yard. The idea of doing this has been under consideration for some time past by Mr. C. W. Vickery, superintendent of the third division, in which Washington is located, and he is now endeavoring to ascertain whether the car used at present is large enough to allow the additional force which it would be necessary to put in the car to handle the increased mail to attend to these duties properly. > Mr. Vickery’s plan finds imuch favor among post office officials, and if carried into effect letters and other mail matter wili be collected at a large number of boxes (which will be designaced) along the route of the cars and collections made frequently enough to admit of the matter being put on board upon each trip. There it would be at once canceled, and from the mail car sent direct to tne railway station from which trains left for the points of destination without the mail for out-of- town places having to go to the city post office at ali. It is belleved that if it Is found that the car now used on the Capital Traction Com- pany’s line is teo smail for the purpose de- sired the railway company will make such changes as will be agreeable to the post office officials. —_——.__ ABOUT CRAP SHOOTING. Judge Miller Thinks Such Cases Are Serious. Judge Miller thinks that crap shooting should be made a serious offense, and that under the present law all offenders should be sent to the workhouse for six months. People seem to think that crap 1s a harm- less game, but the court's experience teaches that 17 cents and a set of bones is all that Is necessary to cause a serious as- sault or a murder. The circumstances in the deadly assault case of Frederick Haw- kins for cutting John Botts caused the re- marks. These colored men participated in @ game of crap on Champlain avenue on the 4th day of July, and when one of them threw “crap” the other objected to his taking the money, more than a dollar, and a fight resulted. With an ugly cut across his back John Botts remained in the kos- pital for nearly three weeks, and today Hawkins was given a preliminary hearing on a charge of attempted murder. “I cut Botts with his own knife,” gaid the prisoner. He drew the knife to cut me and wnen he dropped it I picked it up and cut him." Because of the position in which he said they were the judge characterized his state- ment as ridiculous, and neld him for the grand jury. Being unable to give bond in the sum of $500 he was committed to jail. —_——_-__ DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Need of a Fire Boat. The Commissioners have received from Commodore Sutton of the police harbor fleet a list of the casualtics along the river front during the past year or two. The object of this list is to bring to the ut- tention of Congress in connection with the estimate for a new harbor boat the large amount .of good that could have been ac- complished had the District been provided with a suitable fire boat. The Commis- sioners propose to work hard to get an appropriation for this matter. System of Signa After all there will be no flagmen at the crossings of the rapid street car lines. Presidents Harries of the Metrspolitan and Dunlop of the Capital Traction Company had a conference yesterday afternoon at the Commissioners’ office upon this subject and the result was in every way sutisfac- tory. President Harries waived the right of the Metropolitan road at 9th street to the right of way (being a north and south road) and then the two presidents agreed to arrange a new system of signals. The Commissioners expressed themselves as agreeabie to a change, and agreed to con- sider any joint proposition the two presi- dents would submit. Orders Innued. The Commissioners yesterday ordered that the following work be done under the provisions of the permit system: Lay cement sidewalk in front of new house on north side of Le Roy place, near Phelps place; estimated cost, $56.36. Lay cemert sidewalk in front of prem- ises 48 to 60 Q_ street northeast; esti- mated cost, $239.56. Lay cement sidewalk in front of 1720 N street northwest; estimated cost, $55.06. Lay cement sidewalk in front of 1 street northwest; estimated cost, $55.0 . Lay brick sidewalk in front of lot 1, square 669; estimated cost, $217.56. The Robinson Brothers & Company hav- ing requested the Commissioners to place the order for the terra cotta pipe, etc., recently awarded them with the next lowest bidders, and the next lowest bidders having agreed to furnish the materials at the prices bid by said company, the fol- lowing awards are hereby made, and the secretary is directed to furnish a copy of this order to the interested parties: To the Potomac Terra Cotta Company—11,000 feet of 10-inch pipe at 10 cents per foot, 3,500 feet of 21-inch pipe at 35 cents per foot, 45 21-inch x_6-inch Y branches at $1.57 each. To Thomas Somerville & Sons— 1,000 feet of 21-inch pipe at 35 cents per foot. To A. Lamond—125 8-inch x 6-inch Y branches at 30 cents each. That 620 feet of Ginch water main be laid in the south side of Maryland avenue between Q and Ist streets northwest; esti- mated cost, $553. , That drinking fountain at 15th street and U street northwest be abandoned. That permits be granted as follows: The order of September 23, 1836, to lay brick sidewalk in Ist street southeast, in front of squares 927, 928, 950, 951, 974 and 97: canceled on account of erroneous ad-~ vertisement, and the secretary is directed to furnish a copy of this order to the spe- cial assessment clerk. That broken lamp at ‘corner of 4th and N streets northwest be re-erected. That broken lamp at corner of 34th and N streets northwest be re-erected. That so much of the order for laying brick sidewalk on D street northeast, in front of squares 893, 804, south of 915 and 916, as relates to square 893, be canceled, as the advertisement and order should have read “square south of 893.” eee Desertions From the Army. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In connection with the report of the judge advocate general, in which comments are made upon the increased number of desertions from the army, announcement has been made that it is the intention of the War Department to apply the Bertil- lon system in the recruiting service in Heu of the degrading and un-American plan now being enforced which tramples under foot N the personal rights and treats as criminals . every man who enlists in the army. This system, should any at all be necessary, would be welcomed by every soldier who has the least regard for the rights of the person or a drop of American blood in his veins. The outrageous plan now in use is tyranny compared with the one pro- posed. It {s undisputed that in the light of re- sults the present system of identification, aside from being an imposition upon the personal rights of soldiers and the legiti- mate duties of medical officers of the army, is the most extravagant and barren of any system of any kind now under direction of the War Department. It is prayed, for the honor of the medical corps of the army and self-respect of enlisted men and the sake of economy, that this expensive and tyrannical system be abolished. It would then be seen that the services of a class of men to whom this system is so obnox- fous could be retained and fewer desertions result. A SOLDIER. + Will Continue in Business. Mr. F. H.

ALEXANDRIA. “AFFAIRS Politics Controlled this ity Completely Last Night. ~ Rival Meetings—Loeal Notes of Gen- eral and Especial Interest to All Beafdents. Politics reigned supreme in this city last night. Rival meetings; were held, the na- tional democrats (goldyiat the Opera House, and* the regular democrats at their club rooms, at Sarepta Hhil. At 7 o'clock two bands of music with transparencies an- nouncing when the meetings were to be held, marched around the city, and were followed by large crowds, which frequently applauded the names of the different can- didates. At 8 o'clock the meetings began. The Opera House was fairly well filled. Mr. Thomas L. Cockrell, proprietor of the Alexandria Times, presided, and introduced the speakers of the evening. Mr. 8S. G. Brent, corporation attorney of this city, was the first speaker. He was followed by Mr. George M. Coffin, assistant controller of the treasury. Both these gentlemen pre- sented excellent arguments in support of Palmer and Buckner -and sound mone: Sarepta Hall was crowded, many being unable to secure seats.-The meeting was under the auspices of the Bryan, Sewall and Rixey Club. President M. B. Harlow called the meeting to order and introduced R. Walton Moore of Fairfax. In a brief manner he explained the platform of the democratic party, and gave facts: why the farmers and working.men should support the democratic nominees. He was warmly applauded through his address. He was followed by Col. Francis L. Smith of this city. Mr. Smith said that he was probably the oldest silver democrat in this city, that for a number of years past he thought the cause of the hard times was the de- monetization of silver in 1873. He ex- plained the silver plank in the platform and gave figures to establish the same in a most satisfactory manner to his many hearers. The meetings last night were the mosiyj enthusiastic that have been held in this. city for a number of years. Mr. John M. Johnson of this city will ad: dress the citizens of this city, under the auspices of the Bryan, Sewall and Rixey Club, at Sarepta Hall, tomorrow night. Claims He Was Robbed. Thomas Kelly, a white man, was yester- day morning arrested for being drunk in the street. Shortly after he had been locked up at the station house a telephone mes- sage was received from the Washington authorities, requesting the arrest of Kelly, charging him with having robbed Mr. W. A. Bayliss of Washington of $240. When Kelly was searched he had $11.50 in his pockets. Last night Mr. Bayliss came to the station house and identified Kelly as the man who had robbed him. He sald that Kelly, a woman and himself rode to Jackson City in a hack, and, after spend- ing some time there, Kelly skipped at the same time his money also disappeared. Bayliss was told that as the offense was committed in Alexandria county, he would have to secure a warrant in that county. He left, stating that he would do so at once. Police Court. Mayor Thompson this morning disposed of the following casesin the police court: Talkers Tate, Harry Gambric and William Sanders, three colored men, arrested by Officers Bettis and Knight; charge, robbing the store of Mr. H. Blount Sunday night; sent on to the grand jury. James Baker; charge, disorderly and fighting; fined $7. afarry Roberts; charge, assault on John Patton; dismissed for want of evidence.

Rev. F. W. Clampett of Baltimore preached an’ instructive ser- mon. Brick Yard Sold. Messrs. O'Neil, Lunt and Strauss, real estate auctioneers, yesterday sold at public auction the property in Fairfax county, on the river near Snowden's station, on the Washington, Alexandria and Mt. Vernon electric railway, known as Frost's brick yard, to Mr. John Miller of Washington for 35,600. It is understood that the pur-. chaser will resume the manufacture of* bricks there in the spring. This brick yard is one of the oldest in this section of the country. Swindled His Lawyer. W. H. Saddler, a colored iawyer, last night swore out a warrant for the arrest of Edward Day, colored, charging him with obtaining money under false pre- tenses. It appears that Monday last Day was arrested for disorderly conduct, and he secured the services of Saddler to de- fend him in the police court. He was fined $5, and he induced the lawyer to pay the fine for him, stating that he was employ- ed by the Southern Railway Company, and elgning an order for $11 in favor of 'Sad- dler on the paymaster of the road. Up to a late hour today Day had not been ar- rested. Joint Debate. It is rumored that arrangements are now being made to hold a joint debate at the Opera House at an early date on the finan- cial issues of the present campaign be- tween Mr. Thomas Cockrell, proprietor of the Alexandria Times, and Mr. Louis Brill, proprietor of the Opera House restaurint. Mr. Lewis C. Barley has been selected as chairman. Admission will be by tickets only. Both of the gentlemen are well versed on the financial history of the coun- try, and an interesting debate may be look- ed for. Notes.

Keene, the eminent tragedian, will open @ week's engagement at the Lafayette Square Opera House next Monday evening. Mr. Keene is accompanied by and under the management of Charles B. Hanford, the popular young tragedian of this city, and a large supporting company. The en- gagement of Mr. Keene possesses more than ordinary significance, on account of the local interest that will be manifested in Mr. Hanford’s appearance. The reper- toire for the week has been arranged as follows: Monday, “Louis XI;” Tuesday, “Richelieu;” Wednesday matinee, “Ingo- mar,” in which Mr. Hanford will appear in the title role, assisted by Mr. Keene's company; Wednesday night, ‘“Hamlet;” Thursday, “Julius Caesar;” Friday, “Othel- lo;” Saturday matinee, “The Merchant of Ventce;” Saturday night, “Richard 1 This is Mr. Keene's complete repertoire, and it affords him an opportunity to dis- play his remarkable versatility in a variety of exacting characters. “Louis XI” is recognized by critics and play-goers as one of his greatest characterizations. The com- pany supporting Mr. Keene comprises many well-known players. Harry Fisk's Benefit—The program for the benefit to be tendered Harry Fisk at the Lafayette Square Opera House Friday afternoon next has almost been completed, and will present one of the strongest en- tertainments that has been offered to the patronage of Washingtonians for some time. The program will be made up of at- tractions culled from the companies at the theaters during this week. From the “Sun- shine of Paradise Alley” will come the Ladies’ Verdi Quartet and the male quar- tet; from the Loie Fuller aggregation at the National will be seen Cushman and Holcombe, Miss Louise Montrose and Swift and Chase; Agnes Evans and Nettie Huff- man, the travesty stars; Sam Collins and Tinnie Henshaw and the Whitney Brothers, novelty musical artists, will represent Weber's “Olympia” at the Lyceum, while frcm ‘Coon Hollow” will be Minnie Church, Eugene Powers, J. F. Terris and L. D. Blundell. “A Bunch of Ke: will have a place in the list. From -When London Sleeps" will be Harry Bowley. The en- tertainment will be a long one, and the curtain will rise promptly on time. The “Military History of British India’ describes graphically the Sepoy uprising, and tells of the adventures of a young Irishman, known as the hero of Cashmere Gate. Mr. Edward E. Kidder, the well- known dramatist, has used the subject and character for his latest production, non of the Sixth,” which will be s the Grand Opera House next week. Power, the young romantic actor, who im personates the hero, is well known to theatergoers. He is surrounded by an ex- ceptionally strong company,and the scenery and costumes are said to be historically correct. The play is intensely dramatic, and the plot, which is not too intricate, is sufficient to sustain the interest. The dia- logue is all crisp and bright, and filled with quaint humor, and the incidents of the play follow so close on each other that there is not a dull moment. The introduction of hypnotism, theosophy and the latest deve opments in occult science give an added in terest to the play. Darkest America.—The attraction at the Bijou Family Theater next week will b “Darkest America,” a new stage produc- tion, the aim of which is to depict negro life’in slavery and freedom. The actors are all genuine negroes, and ought to play the characters to perfection. Singing and dancing form a greater part of the en tainment. Several noveities will be intr duced, among the most prominent of which is a colony of camp meeting shouters, sev- eral hoodoo charm workers, forty or more buck and wing dance a bevy of creoles, Henderson Smith’s Brass Band, Frank Hailstock’s orchestra and the- inimitable picaninnies. SS She Stopped the Team. A woman who declined to give her name furnished pedestrians on G street with a nervy exhibition in the handling of a pair of runaway horses this morning about 10 c'clock. She was driving a team of exceed- rely spirited, coal black horses, attached to a two-seated buggy. The horses took fright at a passing bicycle at the corner of 10th street, and, taking the bits in thei mouths, started on a dead canter down street toward the patent office. The wo- man, who was powerful and handsome appearing, wrapped the reins around her forearms, and standing up, with her feet braced against the dashboard, gave the careering runaways’ mouths a Sawing that was delightful to see. With extraordinary skill she swerved the crazed animals out of the way of half a dozen horse carts stand- ing directly in their path. At 9th strect one of the horses slipped and fell, and was dragged by his mate for fully a hundred feet, the team finally pulling up in front of the north entrance to the patent office. The woman, cool as a cucumber, jumped out of the buggy and petted the trembling hor: She said that she had driven them for more than a year at her home in New Haven Corn., and that they had never run awa before. When she had quieted the horses by baby talk. which the crowd vociferously applauded, she calmly resumed the reins, and the horses trotted off, docile as lambs. Soe FUNERAL SERVICES.

Late Chief USED A BRICK. Trouble Over a Handkerchief Gets a Man in Jail. A missing handkerchief caused trouble in Charlie Jung's laundry, corner of 10th and P streets, last night, which came near re- sulting in the death of the celestial. Fan- nie Hall, a colored woman in the China- man's employ, was accused by Charlie of having taken the missing handkerchief, but she not only denied the accusation, but ex- pressed a willingness to be searched. She found it a difficult task to persuade the Chinaman that she had not taken the piece of linen, and Charlie made an effort to scare her; but even this did not bring back the handkerchief. According to the woman's statement, she was locked in a room and Charlie, who drew a big pistol on her, said: “You -—, if you don’t give me that handker- chief I'll’ kill. you.” Charlie did not get the handkerchief, and when he was fied that Fannie did not have it he re her. She then went to alley and told her nepk Charlie Makel, and_whea black Chariie had flattened yellow Charlie's nese ith a brick a Chinaman told a policeman that he (black Charlie) hadn't done a thing to his almond-cyed friend. Policemen Auldridge and Trainor went to make an investigation and found the China- man so badly imfured that a visit to the hospital was necessary. This just suited Charlie Jung, and he went to Freedman’s Hospital; but the sight of the doctors in uniform and the operating table frightened him worse than the actual damage to his face had alarmed him. He suddenly con- cluded to leave the hospital; but this the doctors would not permit,him to do, and so, very much against his ‘will, they dress- ed the Chinaman’s wound and sent him home. Later in the night Charlie Makel was ap- prehended by the officers, and although he denied the charge, the officers found wit- nesses who gave damaging evidence against him. When Judge Miller had heard the evi- dence of the he gave Makel a lecture about his conduct and concluded se her home in Freeman's with a sentence of eleven montns and twenty-nine days in jai —_.———— MUST BE SWORN TO. Writs of Replevin, In the case of Frank M. Baker et al. against Walter A. Johnston, assignee, Judge Cole today decided that a writ of replevin sued out before a justice of the peace must be sworn to before the justice issuing the writ. The éase came before Judge Cole on ap- peal from Justice of the Peace Church. It came before Justice Church on a writ of repleyin sued out by Mr. Johnston. The pe- tition for the writ was sworn to by Mr. Johnston before a notary public in Balti- more, Md. On behalf of the defendants Mr. D. W. Baker moved that the writ of re- plevin be quashed, arguing in support of his motion that the justice had no authority to issue it for the r been sworn to before re denied the motion, whereupon Mr. Baker appealed to the District Supreme Court. ‘Th © was argued before Judge Cole several days ago, the Johnston, being represented Ralston & Siddons.
