Charges Against Policemen and the Evidence Sa itted—The Results to Be Announced. There was nothing in the nature of star chamber proceedings about today’s session ef the police trial board, for all the win- dows and doors of the reom in the sixth precinct, where the session was held, were wide open, and reporters and others were invited in to hear what was going on. Lieuts. Vernon, Swindells and Hefiner were members of the board, and the trouble they have in hearing of the trials and tribula- tions of the officers possibly accounts for the bald heads of Lieuts. Heffner and Swindells. In cases where only officers figure the evidence is given in a straight- forward manner and without much trouble. But in cases of citizens there is usually such a feeling manifested against the offi- cers that patience as well as time is ex- hausted. Policeman May of the second precinct was first called to answer a charge of debt, and he said he was guilty. The debt was for $17.49, a grocery bill, and Herman Kamon, the grocer, was present to state his case. said the officer, “‘and I’m “TI owe the bill,” responsible for {i He explained that he had been making monthly payments on the bill, but because cf his heavy insurance last month he had to skip a payment. He will settle the bill by paying $5 a month. When Policeman S. E. Herndon of the first precinct was called the evidence show- ed that so far as the privates are con- cerned all is not smooth sailing in Lieut. Amiss’ precinct. Policeman Cowne had made complaint against his brother officer, and the charge alleged that he had gone in an F street lunch room and drank a cup of coffee. It was charged that he was in the lunch room eight minutes, but this he de- nied. He was in there only about four min- utes, he said. He drank 2 cup of coffee, he sald, and then left the place. The lunch room was neerly two squares off his beat, and it was a tew minutes after 6 o’clock when he was there. “Is liquor sold there?” the accused officer was asked. “No, sir,” was his response. “If it had been a liquor saloon I would not have been charged. I have never drank liquor in my life.” Officer Herndon said he had been having chills, and he thought the coffee would stimulate him. Policeman Cowne had timed him and so had Policeman Kenny. Two other police- men were witnesses, but they were not called. Just why this case, involving an appar- ently factional fight, was brought before the board did net appear, but ‘behind it all there is a story which is of interest to the officers. Two policemen were complained agai: st some weeks ago by Inspector Pear- sen, and it has been suspected that Hern- den had something to do with that case. During today’s hearing the accused officer wanted to refer to that case, but he was promptly told that that affair had nothing to do with this case. | Policeman Bloom of the sixth precinct was complained against by an insurance ad- juster named H. G. Atwood of Boston he- cause he did not report an accident that happened on the street. The officer has a large beat, and it was not surprising to his brother officers that he had not heard of some little accident. His case will be heard tomorrow. Robert L. Carroll, a colored policeman who does duty in the eighth precinct, was complained against for neglect of duty and alleged intoxication. Mrs. Mary Bowie Chipman, who hves on Caroline street, was the complainant in the case. The officer had arrested her son for using profane lan- guage, and he had been fined in the Police Court, but Mrs. Chipman explained that she had no ill-feeling toward him. But his conduct as a policeman had been unbear- able. She complained more particularly about the manner in which he walked and twirled his baton in asserting his authority. On one occasion, while he was off duty, she smelled liquor on his breath, while on an- other occasion she thought he did not walk any too straight. Then she charged~that on one oceasion her front door and windows were left open at night, but the officer did not notify her about it. Another charge was that the officer, in conversation with her about boy said to her: them.” Attorney Oscar Nauck was present as counsel for the officer, and he questioned the several witnesses who appeared against his client. On the other hand, the pclice- man made his explanation and cailed sev- eral witnesses, who gave corroborative proof. The disposition of the cases will be made known later. standing on the street, had "Il arrest every d— one cf Be Sure of Name Geo. M. Oyster, jr., 1s 22c.

The jail officials had quite an exciting time yesterday with Kate Vandervere, the young white woman awaiting trial for breaking into the house of Frederick Mer- tens the 2th of last month. The woman is said ta be addicted to the morphine habit, and she became unruly yesterday when the matron of the jail refused to allow her to havg more of the drug than she is per- mitted by the jail physician. The woman's trtal was set for yesterday, and when the matron requested her to step out of her cell, preparatory to taking the yan for the court house, she not only re- fveed to come out, but so barricaded her cell door on the inside that it could not be opened. Threats of punishment by a bread and water diet, entreaties, nor anything elise would induce the infuriated woman to r move the barriers. A ladder was placed on the outside of the jail, and one of the guards carried a good-sized hose up to the woman's window and threw a stream of cold water on her. Even that did not subdue her, and at last the guards were obliged to pry the-barricade away from the cell door, when the prisoner was forced to take her place in the van. —_.__ Extensive Sale of Furniture.

AMUSEMENTS. “CAVALLERIA” and “PINAFORE.’ Next week at the Lafayette will be mark- ed as one of rare interest to the musical history of Washington, for the Castle one y bill ot twe Uf thet ee ie it le fo 01 be tractive and of the day, “Cavalleria Rusticana,” by Pietro Mas- cagni, and “H. M. 8. Pinafore,” by Gilbert and Sullivan. This engagement will mark the tenth successive week in Washington of the Castle Square Company during its supplementary season. Coming to this city with their Boston and Philadeiphia successes “to recommend them the Castle Square Com- pany is now an established success here, and present indications indicate a con- tinued engagement at the Lafayette. The announcerrent of next week’s double Dill should be enough to insure big houses for the week. In “Pinafore” the stage will be set with all the regulation trappings of & man-o’-warsman, while the crew from the captain to the midshipmite will be complete and of the best operatic material. The intention of the Castle Square Com- pany, too, is to give “Cavalleria Rusti- cana” in a brilliant manner, with entirely new stage settings, scenery and costumes. The aim of the company, in fact, is said to be to make this the finest double pro- duction ever given in this city, and the full strength of this strong or: ization will be utilized to make It 80. The usual matinees will. be given Wednesday and Saturday. “JACK ROBINSON. ‘A Man with a Past,” who is delighting audiences nightly at the Columbia Theater, will be succeeded next week by a man with a future in the person of “Jack Robinson.” The reason why Mr, Robinson has no past is that this will be his first appearance on any stage, but those who have made his acquaintance in manuscript form predict for him a bril- Hant and laughter-filled future. This new comedy by Walter S. Craven will make the third original production of the Columbia Stock Company this season, and they have yet to score a failure, which facts argue that the managers must be pretty good judges of new pieces, while the players are certainly capable of producing them to the best advantage. Both are enthu- silastic over the prospects of “Jack Kobin- son,” and unless their predictions prove false Washington will score another suc- cessful production to its already long list of new plays. The plece is described as a “bicycle comedy,” probably because it serves to introduce a regular paper-chase after the mysterious Mr. Robinson, in which all the ladies of the company, at- tired in the latest cycHng costumes, join merrily. The company will fyrthermore have the addition of two promising new members in the persons of Mr.. William Ingersoll, for several seasons past sup- porting Nat Goodwin, and Mr. Bert C. Thayre, who was last seen here as the aristocratic conscript in “Lost, Strayed or Stolen.” It is a remarkable fact that all the members of the company, both old and new, are immensely pleased with their parts, which augurs well for the production. The “first nights” at the Columbia have all been remarkably smooth and satisfactory, so that it is becoming quite the fad to be present at the birth of a new play, and seats are already being engaged in ad- vance. VAUDEVILLE AT THE GRAND.— Next, being the fourth week of high-class vaudeville at the Grand the managers, Messrs. Kernan and Rife, have engaged an array of talent stronger than ever, and includes some of the brightest stars in the vaudeville firmament. Mr. J. H. Em- mett, better known as “Fritz” Emmett, the talented delineator of German characters, heads the bill, assisted by his own com- pany in an amusing and pathetic sketch entitled “Bubbles;’ Miss Phyllis Rankin, daughter of McKee Rankin, will make her debut in imitatiors of prominent stars, with her fund of songs, which made such a furore in New York recently; Lizzie Evans of “Foge’s Ferry,” the dainty sou- Brette, assisted by Harry Mills, late of Frohman’s companies, will put on an amusing sketch, replete with songs and humor; Horwitz and Bowers, a pair of clever travestists, have an act that is rich and convulsing, entitled ‘‘Camille;” Isa- bella Hurd, the operatic queen, late of Hammerstein's, New York, will be heard in repertoire; Kate Davis, a piquant vaude- villian, has _an act that is entirely new and novel; Belle Hathaway has been spe- cially engaged, and will exhibit her edu- cated monkeys, baboons and dogs, who will give a circus on a small scale. This at- traction held the boards of the Palace Mosic Hall in London for ten months, and will be scen for the first time here. THE HENRY BURLESQUE CO.—The next week's attraction at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater. will be the Henry Burlesque Com- rary, which makes its first appearance here in five years. The entertainment pre- sented is said to introduce many novel- ties and sensational features, and to be one of the very best burlesque and vaude- ville attractions on the road. The intro- ductory is a laughable comedy skit, en- titled “Pink Dominos.” followed by a splen- did olio of specialty artists, introducing Miss Mollie Wilson, the electric spark: Clifford and Hall, the refined comedy duo; the O'Brien Sisters, known as the Two Peache: Brooks and Brooks, eccentric comedians; Billie Barlow, the pet of New. York; Carr and McLeod, musical comiques, and others. The performance -concludes with a lively burlesque, which is described as a quick glance at the New York suc- ‘cess, “An Artistic Model." Incidental to the burlesque the famous Rossard Ststers will appear in Edison's latest invention, the electric doll dance. Another feature of the burlesque will be the trick elephant Tip, who is sald to be a whole show in himself. There will also be introduced in the burlesque the Parisian dancers and a@ unique cake walk. MARYLAND SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND.—A concert that promises to be more than enjoyable on account of the rep- utation of the institution that is to give it, is that of the Baltimore blind school, or is it is technically known, the Maryland School for the Blind, at the Lafayette Sqvare Opera House, tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. The program promises to be very interesting, as well as enjoyable in a musical way. The piano solos will be played by Francis C. Myers, and Wilfred Jones, who will give Mendelssohn's Con- certo, No. 1, and Thalberg’s “Air Hongrois” and “Souvenir de Pesth,” respectively. The orchestra of the school will Bela’s overture, lections from “Carmen” and Bucalossi's “Hunting Scene,” a descriptive number. The other features will be a violin solo by Mester Clinton Russell, a vocal solo by Mr. T. Harry Maxwell, a clarinet solo by Mr. Oliver C. Keeney, glee club numbers, a chorus of children and kindergarten and calisthenic exercises. The school is worthy of the patronage that may be bestowed upen it ouside of the artistic merit of the concert, as blind children are eligible from the District, as well as from the state of Maryland. THE GREAT WALLACE SHOWS.—The great Wallace shows will be in this city June 23 and 24, Wednesdey and Thursday of next week. They will be located on. North Capitol street between L and M streets, and will give four performances, in the afternoon at 2 and in the evening at 8 o'clock. According to statement there are over a thousand features in the shows, over a hundred phenomenal ects, twenty- five clowns, twenty hurricane races, six bands, fifty cages, a drove of camels, fif- teen open dens, a herd of elephants and cther numerous interesting sights. There will be a free street parade, which leaves the grounds at 10 o'clock sharp the first day of the engagement here, and traverses the principal streets of the city.
