STANCLIFF, de23-8t Treasure: . = TAKEN FROM JURY. Damage Suit of George Dorsey for Injuries. The case of George M. J. Dorsey against the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company, in which the plaintiff claimed $10,000 damages because of injuries re- ceived Feoruary 23, 1895, in a collision with the company’s “hurry-up wagon” at 13% street and Pennsylvania avenue, was taken from the jury today by Judge Cole, a ver- dict for the company being directed by the court. : It appeared from the testimony that Dor- sey was riding a bicycle down the avenue, and when near 1 street the wagon left the power house. The wagon was rapidly driven up 13% street, and in an endeavor to avoid it Dorsey turned-to the left when 2bout thirty feet from the street. He and the wagon met at or near the north track on the avenue, and he was knocked down and badly bruised. The company claimed that Dorsey was guilty of negligence in the matter, their counsel contending that he would not have been tujured had he gone to the rear of the wagon. Judge Cole thought the plaintiff could have avoided the collision, and directed the jury to find for the company. - ——aas A BAD LOCALITY. Free Fights Common in a Colored Section of the City. “This sort of thing is nothing less than an absolute nuisance,” remarked Judge Miller in the Police Court today, when Frank Brown had beea arraigned for as- saulting Joseph Parker, both colored. Parker was very badly injured, it is claimed, during a row several weeks ago in a pool room conducted by a man named Henson, in the vicinity of 3d street and Virginia avenue southwest. “This is a part of a general pool-room row in which a large number of these peo- ple engaged,” the court went on to say. “Billiard balls were flying through the air, ctes were wielded and knives and ‘bleed- ers,’ of course, were not lacking. I have sent two of the men to jail for six months each, one was fined and another forfeited collateral. And now here is another phase of the disgraceful occurrence coming to light. Three or four days of the time of the court have been taken up and $40 or $0 in witness fees expended. Why, it will be necessary to swear in 200 extra police- men to maintain order in that locality if this sort of thing continues. And yet the District licenses such places.” Brown was fined $10, and as he did not happen to have that amount available went to jail for thirty da: ec cteresige are hao Confirmations.

There ace a queer lot of American colo- nists in ancient Jerusalem, according to United States Consul Wallace. In a re- port to the State Department he Says that of the 50 United States citizens residing in Palestine 438 are Jews who are only nominally Americans, having stopped in the United States on their way from Russia to Palestine only long enough to take out American papers and passports. Of the other 92, nearly all have come to Jeru- salem because of some peculiar religious oe The one idea which seems’ to pos- sess them all is that there will be a sec- ond advent of Our Lord and that this will take place in Jerusalem. Some of them during their period of-watting are suffer- ing for the necessaries of life, but are con- tent to endure privation in the hope of witnessing His coming. The Spoffordite colony, or “overcomers,” as they call them- selves, have been recently increased by the addition of 1 Swedish Americans, mostly from Chicago. The leader, Mrs. Spofford, claims to be under the direct pro- tection of the Almighty and .to possess prophetic powers.

The Swiss national exposition held last summer and fall at Geneva was a disas- trous financial failure, says United States Consul Ridgely, in a report to the State Department. The display was thoroughly representative, and made on a scale of lavishness that would have done credit to a much larger and richer nation, but owing to the unprecedented bad weather during the entire season, not only have all of the guarantee funds been swallowed up, bat there remains a deficit-of :#,000 francs, which is to be covered by a national lottery.

Pitifal Cases of Want and the Sor- rowfal Cries of Mothers in Behalf of Their Little Ones. “Is this the place where they give out something to the poor?” asked a sad-faced woman who called at police headquarters this morring. Sie was told that the police sometimes assisied the deserving poor. Her story was that she had ten children to sup- port*and she was unable to buy the neces- saries of life. She was satisfied with an order for food and fuel, and thought per- haps some neighbors might give her chil- dren a small package of candy. She was only one of the many mothers who have called upon Chief Clerk Sylvester during recent days to ask for assistance. All such cases have to be passed upon by the super- intendent of charities and investigated by the police before reiief is given. In order to avoid any unnecessary delays in the matter of charity Chief Clerk Syl- vester has the telephone in constant use, so that the cases are usually reported “on within an hour or two after the applica- tions are received. It is the intention of the police to render assistance as soon as possible, and orders for $2 or $3 worth of food or fuel are gen- erally given. While the police department solicits noth- ing for the poor, the demands made upon it by unfortunate women and children are uni sual for this character of weather, and several dipththeria cases, where the oecu- pants of the premises have been quaran- Major Moore, of tuned, have been assisted. : superintendeat, acknowledges receipt donations as follows: Cash, through Mr. H.

Last year the police r dred small packages of tion, and Chief Clerk Sy distribute such Contributions this Many children who received the packages last year were made happy, for they did not get any other Christmas presents. Almost every mail brings to Chief Clerk Sylvester some pitiable cases of distres: Most of the applications are made by women, the following being a sample of them: “I feel today that I would not care what happened. I did hope ere this to be able to repay you fc: past kindnesses, but it does seem that since I lost my place every- thing goes wrong. I’m so worried, for I don’t know when I'll be put out of my house. I'm hungry, and ask you, if not for my sake, for God's sake, help me now.’ “Will you kindly assist me this morn- ing?” sald another. “I have not anything to eat for my children. My husband is out of work, and he is willing to work at any- thing. I'm sorry I have to trouble you, but I cannot let my children want. I would like to have some groceries and fuel.” “Please do something for me," writes an- other, “as soon as possible. I have neither food nor fuel. I'm very much in need, and I trust in the Lord it will not be this way very long.” “Will you be kind enough to help me out?” said one letter. “‘This will be my last request. You have been so kind to me in the past, and God only knows what I would have done had it not been for you.” Donations of food, fuel or clothing will be received at the police stations or at head- quarters and distributed to the needy and deserving. ————— DEATH OF PATRICK WHITE. The Saloonkeeper Who Fell in an Epileptic Fit. Saloonkeeper Patrick White, who fell in his cellar yesterday afternoon when at- tacked with a fit of epilepsy, as published in yesterday's Star, died in the Emergency Hospital about 7 o'clock last night. The burns received -from the lighted lamp which he held at the time he fell were not serious. Death resulted from epliepsy. Coroner Hammett gave a certificate of death and the body was taken to the late home of the deceased, No. 105 H street rorthwest, from where his funeral will take place. ee For the Newsboyw’ Dinner.

Saloofs That Did Not Expose Their Bars—Cases Cottinued for More Evidence. a ue The preliminary trial ‘of ‘¢ertain liquor dealers who were cited ti’shdw cause why their licenses should not,.be refused this year came up before thd excise board this morning. The case of Patriek J. Collins, 1313 5th street northwest, ‘wits first called. F. Thomas Evaps appeared in opposition to the license. He represented his mother-in- law, Mrs. Catherine Wagd,;.who lives at 1312 Sth street. and who believes that the presence of the saloon ig a detriment to her property, not to mention the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. /The principal objection to the saloon is due to the fact that colored people congregate about the place and indulge in lod and boisterous conduct. Et The case was passed without action. The next case called’was that of Adolph Meinking, who keeps a place at 307 Q street northwest. A protest was read from Rev. J. H. Lee, pastor of the Fifth Strect Baptist Church, against the issuance of the license. It was argued in behalf of the ap- plicant that he kept a gdod place, and that part of the protest was the resuit of spite work. John O'Brien, 1713 Florida avenue northwest, was charged with being slightly under the “influence of his goods.” He ad- mitted the charge, and that case went over for future: consideration. It was all about an election het, sur, that I won,” explained Hugh Harten, 2352 G street northwest, in a rich brogue, in ex- plaining how it was he was caught play ing cards tn his bar room. He made a het with the baker that McKinl-y would le elected, and on the day in question, when the baker arrived, a discussion arose over the price of the hat—whether it would he a $5 top piece or a $3 bonnet. A game of even up Was suggested to settle the ques- tion. Mr. Harten ‘had just flashed a dia. mond as trump-when Inspector Woodward walked in. That broke the game up. All of the above was explained, and :he case went over. a Richard Ryan, 1202 2d street South-west, reported for failure to properly expose his bar. He explained that he was willing to take down the shutters, if ordered. “To muck loafing” was the charge against Wm. L. Mahoney, 600 K street southe: In his own behalf the applicant stated his patrons were working men, but orderly. He had never ‘olated the law. His case rested. Jonn Curtin, 3258 M street northwest, was reported a number of times by lieu- tenant Swindells for not properly exposing his bar room, and once by Inspector Wood- ward for the same offense. He explained the violations and denied that any attempt had been made to violate the law. James A. Geary, 902 1st street southeast, small, dirty place.” The lieutenant of the precinct reported against the place on the ground that a number of affrays had taken place in and about the place, and it was not worthy of a license. Col. W. P. Wood argued in the interest of the applicant. Mr. A, E. Shoemaker, the attorney of the Anti-Saloon League, was present during the hearings, and took an active part opposing the places that had bad records and urging that the applica- tions be rej@cted. Messrs. Frank P. Madi- gan and Michael Sullivan appeared for the several liquor men. ———— Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued to the following: White—Henry P. Balster and Alice C.

Policeman Murphy had the body sent to the police station. The front door of Love Bros.’ grocery store, corner of 11th and M streets, was fourd open this morning about 5 o'clock. When the store was closed last night the key was turned, but as the door had not been closed tight enough the bolt failed to enter the keeper. Fortunately the driver of a bakery wagon found the door open be- fore anything was missing. The President has appointed John B. Sle- man, jr., of this city a notary pubiie for the District of Columbia. David McGregor, 104 D street, fell on the pavement yesterduy and broke an arm. He was taken to the Emergency Hospital, where the fracture was reduced. Mary Elizabeth Watson has filed a bill in equity against Clara A.

The Villains Traced and One Likely to Be Caught. The detectives are still investigating the case of the alleged pcgus wire tappers who induced several persons to put up money on the races, as published in yesterday’s Star, and although none of them have been arrested, the officers hope to be able to catch at least cne. This one ts known as “Gene” Higgins, and the police have learn- ed where he lives. John T. Moylan, pro- prietor of the Owen House, who lost $700 cn the races, will not be able to get any of this amcunt returned. It is stated that two other men lost money in the same way, one $900 and the other $2,000, but thei complaints have not been recorded at po- lice headquarters. The man McNutt or “Gene” bhggins, as he was known, spent seme of his ume in the “Division,” and one nignt he sold to a woman named Lou Bain a pawn ticket for a diamond ring. The ucket showed that $100 had been borrowed on the ring in Baltimore, and the woman sent her sister over to redeem the pledge. But she met four men over there, supposed to be the quartet of alleged wire tappers, abd one of them got possession of the Ucket by saying he would get the ring for her. He did noi return. When the police learned that the men went from here to Baltimore they roufied the Baltimore au- thorities, but have heard nothing from them. ———— Divorce Granted., Judge Hagner today granted Belle Bar- naccorsy a divorce from John Barnaccorsy, because of the cruel treatment of the wife by the defendant, endangering her life and health.
