Sold everyw WOUNDED OYSTERMAN. His Mate Strikes Him With the Butt of a Gun. Frederick Pfalzgraf, a Chesapeake bay oyeterman, came to the sanitary office this morning suffering from a vicious-looking wound cn the left side of his head, which, according to his statement, was inflicted by Mate Perry Kelley of the schooner Mag- gie G. Franklin on Tuesday last in the neighborhood of Lower Cedar Point. Pfalzgraf requested that he be sent to a hospital, and Sanitary Officer Frank gave him at once a certificate for admission to Freedman’s. The trouble which resulted in the wound to the oysterman’s head oc- curred, as he claims, without provoration, after he had secured a discharge and was leaving the schooner. Throughout Pfalzgraf’s connection with the boat, aperiod of seven months, he says, he has had numerous difficulties with Mate Kelley, but none of them have resulted in injury to either until last Tuesday, when Kelley followed the deckhand to the shore and struck him with the butt of a breech- loader. Pfalzgraf was taken to the house of a farmer residing in the neighborhood, and a doctor was summoned. The physician bandaged the wound, but advised his pa- tient to come at once to the city and enter. a hospital. The wound is extremely pain- ful, but apparently not serious, unless com- plications result from its lack of early at- tention. =e QUIET DAY IN POLICE COURT. The Grist of Offenders Were Chiefly From Abroad. Inauguration day in- the Police Court passed quietly. When Judge Kimball took his seat this morning the docket was oc- cupied by fifteen offenders awaiting an op- portunity to tell’ their several tales of woe to the “jedge, yer honor.” Local gentry figured less prominently than visitors from distant points, who were penniless, but happy until a blue coat nabbed them. Po- Mceman Brown of the ninth precinct cap- tured a characteristic crowd of these folks cut on the Benning road early this morn- irg. There were four of them, and they hailed from Baltimore. Their names, as they gave them, are: James Curtin, Joseph Brown, Walter Russell and William , and the pooied resources of the crowd amount- ed io fifteen cents.

HE SLEPT SOUNDLY!| Mr. McRinley’s Night Before Tnau- guration. os LIVELY SCENES AT HIS HOTEL The Start for the White House This Morning. —— MANY CONGRATULATIONS ——— President-elect McKinley retired im- mediately on his return from Col. John Hay’s dinner at 10:30 last night, and en- joyed eight hours of rest. At 6:30 this morning he awoke and found the air in his room somewhat nipping, he having suffered the grate fire in his bed room to go out last night on account of the baiminess of the air. He rang for a porter, and in a few minutes there was a bright fire blazing in the grate. The President-elect was up and dressed long before any of the members of his party had thought of preparing for the pleasures of the day. He had two very comfortable hours in which to dictate some letters that had probably been held in abey- ance for some time, and in this work the assistance of Mr. J. Addison Porter, who Presented himself at Mr. McKinley's door at 7 o'clock, was probably of some value. Mr. McKinley found, when he had dressed and advanced somewhat reluctantly to his overloaded desk, that there was a litter of several hundreds of telegrams awaiting his inspecticn. Most of these dispatches were from personal fricnds, congratulating the President-elect upon his accession to office, but there were several cables of some im- portance. “Do Yourself Proud.” One of them was from a close personal friend of Mr. McKinley, who now resides in Paris. It read: “In Paris the colony members are cele- brating your inauguration with flags, din- ners and other festivities. We look to you to do yourself proud in your message.” The two Pinkerton detectives, Gardner and Dougherty, who have been with the President-elect ever since he left Canton, reported to Mr. McKinley while he was engaged with his correspondence. He gave each of them a hearty handshake and praised them for their clever work yester- day in relieving him from the attacks of bores and cranks. At 9 o'clock Dr. Phillips, Mr. McKinley's physician, was admitted to the President- elect’s room. Dr. Phillips is a typical med- ical man and of somewhat crusty tempera- ment. He strongly reproached Mr. McKin- ley for having eaten some salmon salad at the Hay dinner last night, and gave a really beautiful exhibition of a professional man bullyragging a gentleman whom fate and the suffrages of the American people had chosen to the presidency. Mr. McKin- ley displayed the greatest humility during Dr. Phillips’ tirade, and concluded the !n- terview by promising that he would never do it again. He, Praised the Weather. Chairman Bell of the inaugural commit- tee, was the President-elect’s next guest. “Mr. Bell,” said Mr. McKinley to the chairman when he presented himself, “I must congratulate you upon your weather. it ds the most beautiful day I remember in Washingion.” Chairman Hahn of the Ohio national committee was guest. The Cleveland Troop began to assemble around the Ebbitt House shortly before 9 o'clock. They presented~ rather a noble spectacle. Their horses were all black, and their riders seemed entirely capable of tak- ing care of them. Senator Mitchell of Oregon of the Senate committee in charge of the inauguration made his appearance promptly at 10 0'¢ 0c and was closeted with the President-ele for seven minute Promptly at 10:10 Mr. McKinley, somewhat heavily upon the arm of Senator John Sherman, eierged from his room, Mr. ‘Too, ate the President-elect’s next Bell locked arms with Mr. Porter, the Pres- ident-elect’s private secretary, and fol- lowed. Leaving the Ebbi¢s, House. Arriving at the elevator, Senator Sherman touched the button. “I think I shall walk down,” said the President-elect. So, walking on the arm ot Mr. Sherman, Mr. McKinley descended the stairs. Meantime the main corridor. was packed with the representatives of all the national guards of the states, which have sent their most conspicuously handsome men to Washington. As Mr. McKinley appeared a great shout went up. The full pleasure of the occa- sion was a trifle marred by the appearance at the foot of the stairs of a_ well-dressed crank, who requested Mr. McKinley to indorse a very peculiar card which he had in his possession, representing one of the trees which grew, or were supposed to have grown, at Mt. Olivet. Mr. McKinley raised his hat to the man, who was imme- diately thrust back from the throng by Detective Dougherty. Passing through the throng with many a bow Mr. McKinley stepped into the car- riage, accompanied by Senator Sherman, removing his silk hat many times in re- sponse to the plaudits of the crowd. Into the same ‘carriage followed Mr. Porter and Chairman Bell. A Sixn of Good Times. Bell stepped into the carriage, he his elaborate badge, a negro news- boy picked it up and presented it to him, Mr. Bell gave the boy a half dollar. “The good times are arriving very soon,” said a republican standing by. Mrs. McKinley, the President's mother, stood bareheaded at the lith street en- trance, and watched her son’s departure for the Executive Mansion. While she thus stood, her son Abner approached her and As Mr. droppe mother, this is better than a bishopric. As Mr. McKinley’s carriage departed an immense gheer went up.

John Corwin, the United States navy pay- master who a few days ago suddenly left Newport, R. L, accused of being an em- bezzlen of government funds, was arrested in Chicago last evening. When arrested he confessed to ihe police of having robbed the government of § wo during the time that he held the position of paymaster. He could offer no excuse for his peculations. Corwin has Leld the position of pa: master for two years. He ts forty-t years old, married, and in Newport had cess to the best society, and bore the repu- tation of being sober and attentive to hi- duties. Government officials began inquir- ing into his methods of discharging his duties several months ago. They _were bringing matters to a climax when ¢ vin suddenly left Newport. He went to Boston, according to confes- sion, where he preserted a check for $5,110) to the Union National Bank. The check was on the Navy Department, but Corwin was recognized as the paymaster by the cashier, and the money was turned over to him without any inquiry. Corwin then went to Brooklyn, he says, and there met his wife. He gave her $2,000 of the amount he had secured, so he claims, and then bade her good-bye, saying that he was going to make a long trip. Corwin visited the First National Bank of Newport Monday and cashed a check for $5,000, payable at the sub-treasury at Bos- ton, but the payment had been stopped. Corwin then went to Boston, where he se- cured a ticket for Chicago, via the Hoosac ‘Tunnel route, under the name of J. Reeves. The Boston police informed the New York authorities of this fact, and telephonic communication with, Chicago was made. An accurate tion of Corwin was given, and he was arrested. The authori- ties have wired Corwin, urging him t@ re- ie without the necessary requisition pa- pers. Detective Richards will leave New- port today for Chicago, to bring — pris- oner He ern. amb ay.
