The flames soon spread to the premises of Mrs. Martha Dyett, No. 1151, and caused a loss of about $100 to the latter house. Mr. Connolly's loss amounted to about ). What caused the fire is not known. The reports of Food Inspectors Mothers- head and Cavanaugh for last week show the condemnation of 235 pounds of beef, 168 pounds of mutton, 20 pounds of veal, 120 pounds of pork, 14 chickens, 10 turkeys, 7 geese, 13 birds and 18 rabbits. Amone the fruits and vegetables condemned were nine bushels of tomatoes, so the reports show. One hundred bunches of celery were also condemned. Poundmaster Einstein impounded thirty- two dogs last week. Before the close of the week nine of them had been killed and one sold. Saturday there were twenty-two of them left in pound. In addition to the work of catching dogs the poundmen removed twenty-three lots of bedding and clothing in contagious disease cases.

The Star of Saturday contains an article from the Denver Republican relative to the discovery of gold-bearing clay of that lo- cality. Personally I made discoveries i that country of immense deposits of this gold-bearing clay prior to the year 1884 and subsequently thereto. I am not aware that any other person had made similar dis- coverles, and, until reading the account in The Star a few moments ago, was under the impression that the deposits still re- mained undiscovered. At the time I refer to (about 1884) a yield of less than $20 per ton was considered to be unprofitable, or, in other words, the yield must be over per ton to make mining profitable. The specimens collected and submitted by me to assayers yielded always from $6.50 to $18 per ton in gold and silver, besides some copper. As this was known to be less than id I let the matter end there. personai investigations, field notes, reports, ete., in my possession, T fied that the extent of this gold pearing region is not less than 20,000 square miles, and from which in the next ten years such large deposits of gold will be extracted that trade, commerce and human affairs will be wonderfully and strangely effec JOHN 8S.

An Interesting Trial im the Corpora- tion Court fn Alexandria Last Night. Evening Star Bureau, No. 121 North Washington street, Alexandria, Va., January 19, 189 A fine of two hundred and fifty dollars, with a sentence of sixty days in jail, was imposed upon Walter Donn charged with conducting policy in the city, by Mayor Thompson in the police court last night, and the verdict gave general sat- isfaction. Long before the hour #t for the trial of these gambling cases, which are the out- come of Sergeant Smith's very effective raid last week, the street in front of the corporation court room began to fill up with those who desired to hear the trials. When the doors were opened, at ten min- utes before 7, there was a great rush, and at 7 o'clock every available space was oc- Sergt. Smith. cupied, and even standing room was at a premium, so much interest was taken in the trials. This is only the second time in the rec- ollection of the yenerable chief of police that the corporation court room has been used to hold a session of the police court, the former occasion being when the pre- liminary trial of John Downey for killing Jim Burnett in front of Murtaugh’s saloon on South Royal street was held there by Mayor Beckham. Owing to the large crowd and the diffi- culty in getting the witnesses together, thc ca were not opened until nearly 8 o'clock. There were nineteen prisoners jp ent, as follows: Walter Donnelly, Fraz McLaren, James Banks, Ed. Green, Thos. Nelson, Adolphus Woodward, Frank Chase, James Lee, Chas. Parker, A. W. Madella, F. R. Ross, Wm. Payne, “Rody” Wilson, Charles Grady, John Mills, Silas Madella, Edward Shoch, Stephen Blue and Wm. A. Henderson. Some Witnesses Absent. When Sergeant Smith went to sum up his witnesses he found that, though sum- mened, a great many of his most import- ant ones were absent, and Commonwealth's Attorney Marbury asked the mayor to for- feit the bond of those who had been recog- nized, and issue attachments against all absentees for contempt of court. Owing to the absence of witnesses the common- wealth asked for a continuance, and objec- tion was made by attorneys for defense. After consultation with Sergeant Smith it was decided to go ahead with the cases. New warrants, which had been prepared by the commonwealth’s attorney to cover THE OFFICIAL WEATHER MAP.

Officer Fergusson was again called to the stand, and stated a conversation he had with Walter Donnelly, in which Donnelly had told him (f the officers had been five minutes later they would, not have caught as “Donnelly’s’ him, and that “Hills’” place must have got the “tip.” The Arguments. The evilence being all, in, Common- wealth’s Attorney Marbury arose and in a few words said he had proved His case be- yond doubt. He had shown that policy had been conducted in the place Knewn as Don- POLICY Row, every phase of the case, were executed on all the prisoners. ‘The case of Walter Donnelly was called. Mr. Brent, attorney for Donnelly, first moved to quash the warrant, and, when this was overruled, he entered a plea of not guilty, and then the great fight began. Sergeant Smith, the first witness, told how he had heard of policy playing, and his determination to break it up. He de- scribed his raid on Donnelly’s place. He described how he had jumped over the high board fence, the gate, which is usually open, being locked; how he caught Walter Donnelly running away from the building. He stated that on entering the building he found a number of slips, books and writ- ings, which he was told were used in the policy business. Sergeant Smith had never seen Donnelly write policy, but the place in the alley was known as Donnelly’s place. Ed. Williams told of playing policy at a place known as Donnelly’s place. He de- scribed the modus operandi in securing the desired slips. He said that there is a high board partition separating the writer from the player. In this partition are a number of “pigeon hoies;” that there is a double slide—when the front one raises the back one goes down—so it is impossible to see the writer. Mr. Williams produced a dra ing, i.e., a slp of paper with a lot of num- bers on it, which he stated had been got- ten at the policy shop commonly known as “Donnelly’s. A Tilt Between Lawyers. At this point Mr. Green, for the defense, broke in and said that the man who played policy is as bad as the man who wrote it, and he thought witness should be prose- cuted. Mr. Marbury, commonwealth’s attorney, said: “All witnesses will be granted amesty while on the stand, under the code. The commonwealth,” said Mr. Marbury, “will protect every one of its witnesses to the full extent of the law.” At this re- mark there was a great burst of applause. Williams’ pentane ay, was unshaken by the attorneys for defense. Omicer Fergusson, who was with Sergt. Smith in raiding Donnelly’s place, was next placed on the stand. He Identified the paraphernalia which had been got out of the house; described the place in pretty much the same way as Williams. Officer Fergusson told how he had entered the house by the front way and thought Wal- ter Donnelly had let him in. A man named Robey was the next wit- ness, but was non-communicative, and no material evidence was given by him. Robt. C. Watson of the metropolitan po- lice force of Washington was put on the stand and identified the slip, papers and books captured = Donnelly’s place as “polic: raphernalia.”” “Arthur Gray knew nothing material; had been in place supposed to be Donnelly’s. Chas. Adams was painfully ignorant as to whose place he had played policy in, though he had been in the place which was and which goes by the name of nelly’s” place. An Am is Witness. Isaac Hockley was an amusing witness. He told of having been to this place on more than one occasion; was there on the day of the raid, in fact, but did not get in. On being asked if he had ever seen Walter Donnelly write policy, he said “No.” He ‘was asked to tell how he obtained his slips. “Well, boss, hit’s disaway. You walks up to de hole in de wall and says, ‘Mr. Hare,’ or ‘Mr. Rabbit,’ elder will do, and de hole ALEXANDRIA. the and nelly’s place. The police had raided place and found policy paraphernalia caught the only man on the premises, who was Walter Donnelly. Donnelly had stated to Officer Fergusson that if he had been five minutes later he would not have been caught. “I ask, therefore, your honor, a judgment of guilty. Mr. Brent, for the defense, summed up the evidence in the case, and, with the warrant before him, said that none of the allega- tions had been proven, and that the ac- cused should have the benetit of every doubt. “Why,” said Mr. Brent, “if Walter Donnelly there, he, too, probably, went there to buy a policy slip and play policy.” ‘This remark caused a snicker to run through the crowd. e Mr. John H. Greene followed Mr. Brent. He spoke o fthe powers of the mayor in the case, and then, 25 usual, tried to cast a slur on some of the officers: but was cailed down most fittingly by the commonweaith’s attorney, who said: “I never knew Mr. Greene to have a weak case in my life but that he did not attempt to abuse some one; now let him prove his charges. I want the minions o? the law to furnish me evidence, and I am prepared to do my whole duty in the premises.” ‘The evidence was not pro- Guced. The Mayor's Decision. When the case was given to Mayor Thompson it took him but a moment to render a decision. He said, “I have lis- tened attentively to all the evidence in this case and find the ‘prisoner, Walter Don- nelly, guilty.

There was no pomp or ostentation, the ceremonies being of the most simple character. The legisla- ture convened in joint session and Governor Jones took the oath of office and delivered his inaugural address. Wm. H. Ellerbe was inaugurated gov- ernor of South Carolina yesterday. Sev- eral thousand people gathered in the hall of the house of representatives to witness the ceremonies. The oath of office and anti-dueling oath were administered by Chief “Justice McIver. Ellerbe was nom- inated by a practically unanimous vote of both factions ef the democraéy, though he had been a leader of the Tilimanites. He pledged his best efforts to maintenance of harmony and ending the bitter factional fight which has been waged ever since Till- man’s first election as governor in 180. ——<—$§_-eo____ Contributions Received.

VICE-BREEDING CONDITIONS. ex- contributed influence to who The Pitfalls That Beset the Colored People. With a view of benefiting the race and ameliorating their social conditions by the suppression of vice, the colored ministers of the city met the Commissioners this morning to discuss ways and means to bring about this end. Dr. Alexander Crummell detailed the cir- cumstances which he thought were in a large measure responsible for this condi- tion, Reforms were necessary to correct them. Alley tenements shoull be abolish- ed, for it was from these that crime sprung. He called attention to the large number of colored strangers in the city who came after every social struggle in the souti and who were wholly desendent. This should be stopped. The saloon, which tock frem the poor colored man his every cent and left him without the necessaries of life, should also be considered as an important factor in the matter. Commissioner Ross responded briefly. He thought such movements as that inaugu- rated would be productive of much good.
