Davis of this city will read before the section of legal education, Thursday, 26, a paper entitled’ “Primitive Conceptions in Relation to Modern Topic > — ADAMS CONFESSES. Policeman Sullivan's Assailant Could Not Deny Charge Against Him. Fred Adams, colored, was today sen- tenced by Judge Mills to six months in jail, fined $190, and in default of payment, to serve three months lon, for assauiting and beating Policeman J. J. Sullivan of the seventh precinct Sunday last. Officer Sulli tified that while going to his home in the afternoon he observed a crap game in progress. He captured one of the players, whereupon Adams and a number of othe~ colored men jumped on him and forced him to the pavement. A fight rred, during which the officer Yes struck over the right eye and on the back with sticks, and cut in the neck, it is supposed, with a razor. Yesterday the policeman succeeded in capturing Adams, and also Charles Butler, Samuel Morse and William Hamilton, each of whom he believed to have been’ con- cerned in the attack upon him. Today Adams pleaded guilty, but there being no Girect testimony against the other three, they were re d from custody. Adams was also fined $ or thirty days in @efault for disorderly conduct on the same occasion. ———— Trinity Commandery Officers.

Special From a Staff Correspondent. SAN ANTONIO, Texas, July 21.—This is San Antonio day at Camp Culberson, and it ts the gala occasion of this week of fes- livity. Thousands upon thousands of visit- ors are on the grounds. The ceremonies began at ¥ o'clock this morning with guard mount, which was followed by an exhibi- tion drill by the Governor's Guards. Sev- eral companies competed in the maiden drill, and there were artillery and zouave centests, the champion Neeleys of Mem- phis appearing in the latter class. Both the Belknap Rifles and Company D of St. Paul are to drill late this afternoon in class A. The inspection of these companies this morning appeared to be about the average, the Minnesota team wearing full dress tegulation uniform precisely similar to that which the Mortons will don for in- spection tomorrow. The Sealy Rifles of Galveston and the Lioyd Rifles of Fort Worth drilled yester- day afternoon. The Lloyds are not en- titled to consideration, but the Sealys gave a drill that every one thinks will place the company either first or second in the rating. Not Polished, but Practical. ‘The exhibition was far from polished or pretty, but a good solid tactical drill with- out an error worthy of mention. Several innovations were introduced by Capt. Boy‘, such as having the rear rank load, as well as the front renk at “lie down,” and stack- ing with bayonets. The drill required twenty-seven minutes, seven minutes less than that of the Thurs- tons. The Sealys will unquestionably be very near the top of the list when the award is made, and many experts declare the Thurstons are by no means out of the race. Company D of Minnesota is a sort of dark horse, no one having an idea of the character of drill to be presented by the St. Paul men. The Mortcns will be inspected at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning and drill at 4:45 o'clock in the afternoon. 1 voting today to preparations for 1 tion and hard drilling. The company gave an exhibiticn drill last evening that earned general app'ause, but did not satisfy tain Shilling. He lectured the boys verely and a beneficial result is apparent today. All the regulars in camp and thou- sands out consider the Mortons sure win- ners. The field, however, is one of per- haps wnprecedented* ability, and the suc- cessful contestant will not be known until the judges the word. ‘The Washington lads are determined to make this the drill of their lives. Entertained by Misa Pfeiffer. The company were last evening enter- tained in elaborate style by one of their maids of honor, Miss Pfeiffer, at her pala- tial home in Laurel Heights. Governor Culberson, General Mabry, Mayor Callag- han and many other distinguished persons acceptel invitations to meet the Savannah champions. The affair was the social event of the week, and will long be remembered with pleasure by the Washington boy: The interstate companies are now re- quired to report fer battalion drill early each morning. This has prevented the Mortons from indulging in two practice drills and the boys are highly indignant. Captain McAdoo of the Belknap Rifles, through an inadvertence, it seems, y terday invited a brigadier general of the Texas Guard to visit a clime supposed to be more torrid then San Antonio. He was ordered under arrest, and is yet in durance mere or less vile. The incident May have some bearing on the appearance of the Belknaps this afternoon. The Mortons ccntinue favorites in the betting, odds of 6 to 1 being offered today against the Tnurstons for first place. All ¢ ements are completed for a night attack at camp this evening with calcium light and red fire effects. An im- mense crowd is expected. Corse _——— CLAIMS DAMAGES. Hurt by a Timber on New Sewer Construction. C. Henry Ashton, a conductor on the Metropolitan Railroad Company, today filed a suit against the District of Colum- bia, claiming $10,000 damages because of injuries alleged to have been sustained by him the 25th of last April. The plaintiff states that on the day in question the District was constructing or having constructed a sewer cn F street be tween 13th and Mth. In doing so a frame or iron trestlework was erected dangerous- ly near the tracks of the Metropolitan road, and the trestle, he charges, had placed on it no warning lights, nor was a watchman enployed by the District or contractors engaged in building the sewer to warn per- ‘s. About § o'clock in the evening of the day mentioned the plaintiff, while on the foctbeard of his car, engaged in collecting fares, was struck by an overhanging or protruding timber of the trestle and knoe ec senseless, suffering a severe wound, the loss of an index finger, and be- ing under a physician’s care for a long time. He claims that the accident was due alene to the negligence and carelessness of the District or its agents, the construc ors of the sewer. He is represented by tcrneys R. B. Lewis and B. S. Minor. _ Sufcidal Drowning. In the case of aged Aaron Brunn, who jumped in the river from the Long bridge Monday morning, as published in Monday's Star, Acting Coroner Glazebrook has given a certificate of suicidal drowning. The funeral of the dead man took place this afternoon from his late residence, No. 220 Missouri avenue. The Washington Hebrew cemetery was the place of interment. > Hurt in an Ambulance. In a railroad accident at Alexandria, Va., the 21st of last November Thos. J. Fritz’s right leg was almost severed just below the knee. The leg was amputated and dressed, when he was brought to this city, and at 9th street and Maryland avenue placed in a police ambulance to be carried to Providence Hospital. While crossing 414 street at C southwest, on the way to the hospital, says Mr. Fritz in a suit filed by him today against the Metropolitan Rail- road Company, the ambulance was struck by one of the company’s cars, jarred and hurled and carried fifty feet, turning him over and causing him great pain, and start- ing his wounds to bleed again. ‘He charges that the bell of the ambulance was rung, that it had the right of way, and that the car was running at an unlawful speed, sixteen miles an hour, the collision being, he asserts, due alone to the company’s negligence. He therefore demands, through Attorneys Richards & Bailey, $1,000 dam- ages. —_.>__ For Damages. Sarah Irwin Mattingly today sued the George W. Knox Express Company, claiming $5,000 on account of goods stored with the company by her, and which were, she charges, lost in the fire which de- stroyed the compary's warchouses, July 24, 1894. The plaintiff is represented by Attorneys Obear and Douglass. PPSSOS SOMOS OLS CHL OCHOCOOOY Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is GOOD for all diseases that have their origin in impure blood.

CONDENSED LOCALS About five lodgers are being accommo- dated at the municipal lodging house each night, while in the winter as many as ninety-one sometimes find beds there, and others are turned away for want of room. Those who come at this season, Superin- tendent Cutler says, are not “hoboes,” but are working men. A tramp, he » can always manage to get something to eat, and he is satisfied to sleep out of doors during warm weather. Noble __Sheffey, a colored boy, fifteen years old, from Wytheville, Va., came here « yesterday looking for Aaron Slaughter. He had spent his last cent for car fare here, and, failing to find his friend Aaron, called on Sanitary Officer Frank. Noble had been without food all day, and he was sent to the municipal lodging house, to be given bed and board for the night, and to- day he was sent home. An old horse, covered with sores, has been lying on a lot near the intersection of Brentwood road and Florida avenue for sev: eral days. Yesterday compiaint was made to the Humane Society, and Agent Riplinger ended the animal's sufferings with his pistol. It was reported to the police yesterday afternoon that Alexander Carruthers, the missing labor writer, had been scen in ginia, near Falls Church, since his disap- pearance a weex ago. The missing man was acquainted in Virginia, and the police were not surprised to learn that he had been located over there. No active interest in the disappearance is being taken by the police, for they think Carruthers will re- turn home when he gets ready. Henry Bonner, colored, and Susan Bon- ner, bis wife, engaged in’a row in Govern- ment alley yesterday afternoon. A bottle thrown by the husband struck Susan on the head. The wound, a slight one, was dressed and doctcred at the Emergency Hospital. The sidewalk on the south side of Pierce street is In need of repair. The sidewalk in front of a lot on 15th street northwest between R and S streets is covered with dirt, washed there by the recent rain. Today the police made com- plaint about the condition of the sidewalk. William J. Harbison, nineteen years old, who lives at Ni V street northwest, fell from his cle about 11 o'clock last night and dislocated his hip. He was taken to Garfield Hospital in the patrol wagon. The filthy condition of two alleys, one near Vermont avenue and 9th street and the other near Sth and ‘f streets, formed the subject of a complaint made by Lieut. Ggssford today. When Policeman Cox found the front window of Brown’s saloon, on 6th str open about 2:40 o'clock this morning, he thought burglars had been there. An in- vestigation showed that the window had been accidentally left open, and nothing had been stolen. A leaky fire-plug at the corner of 6th and G streets northwest was reported by the police today. James B. Davis, a visitor from St. Mary’s county, Md., who is seventy-six years old, called at the Anacostia police station last night and complained that he was sick. Dr. Harrison was called to see him, and found him so ill that he ordered him taken to a hospital. He was sent to the Wasa- imgton Asylum Hospital in the ambulance. Lem L. French and Ebenezer Alden, charged with fighting last evening on New Jersey avenue, near the Baltimore and Ohio railroad ‘station, were today each fined $5 by Judge Mills Charles H. Councell, aged fifteen years, was today committed to the reform school by Judge Mills, the boy’s mother having testified that he was incorrigible. eee ALONG THE EASTERN COAST. ‘Summer Cruise of the North Atlantic Squadron, Arrangements have been practically completed for the summer cruise of the North Atlantic squadron in command of Rear Admiral Sicard. It will last about two months, durng which time visits will be made to several of the northern ocean resorts. All the available vessels of the fleet will assemble at Newport August 1 in order to participate in operations which will take them along the coast as far north as Portland, Me., and thence back to Newport. In fighting power, the fleet is stronger than that which recently bloek- aded the port of Charleston, notwithstand- ing it is composed of fewer vessels. It will be made up exclusively of armored vessels with heavy batteries, including the battle ships lowa, Massachusetts, Indiana, Maine an@ Texas, and the armored cruis- ers Brook!yn and New York. From New- port the fleet proceeds to sea, and for three weeks or, perhaps, a month, will en- gage in evolutions outside, conducting the drills and movements that would be ex- pected of a squadron of its character in actual battle. Portland has been made the objective point on account of a celebration there in the last of August. —e—____ Appointed Resident Physician. Dr. W. P.

The deaths during the past week in the District numbered 122, as compared with 161 in the corresponding week of last year. Of those who died 74 were white and 48 colored. The annual death rates were, ac- cordingly, 20.3 for the whites, 28.3 for the colored and 22.9 for each 1,000 of the entire population. With the exception of seven fatal cases of whooping cough, the health conditions presented no unusual phase. As compared with the week before last, deaths from diarrheal diseases declined from 28 to 22, and those of the nervous system from 17 to 11, while mortality from consumption rose from 11 to 15, and from typhotd fever from 2 to 3. During the week two houses were placed in quarantine on account of diphtheria, five premises were released therefrom and sixteen remained placarded (as against nineteen by the last report), with no death reported. No new cases of scarlet fever occurred; warning cards were removed from three houses and five remained in isolation, being @ reduction of three, as compared with the previous report. ‘The meteorological conditions prevailing during the week were a.mean temperature of 76, a mean relative humidity of 80 and a mean barometer preasur® of 20.80, There were six cloudy days, with a rainfall of .71 cf an inch, and a range tm the temperature of the air of 27 degrees, the thermometer falling from 88 degrees on the llth to 61 degrees on the 15th. ——-—— A New Chief of Division.

A number of policemen and citizens ga:h- ered in and about the sixth police station this morning, the moving cause being the tegular session of the trial buard. There were several cases on the docket, and Capt. Austin and Lieuts. Swindelis and Heffner, members of tke board, anticipated a lengthy session. The first called for trial was one involv- ing a charge of neglegt of duty against Policeman A. J. Kimmell of the eignth precinct. It was alleged that he left his beat the night of July 17, and failed to perform police duty for thirty minutes. The accusation was made by Night Inspec- tor Pearson, and, it is said, grew out of ar effort on the part of the officer to in- vestigate a case involving a supposed seri- cus assault 01 a man ramed Taylor. One of the most important witnesses In the cese was a citizen ramed Thomas O'Brien, who told of having found his friend Taylor in an unccnscious condition. He had been assaulted by an unknown col- cred man, said the witness, and he (O’Brien) took him to the drug store at 14th and U streets. The druggist, he said, would not allow him to bring his friend in the stcre. Witness said he afterward took Taylor home. He followed the colored ren some distance, hoping he would find #n officer and have them arrested. A young man named Carroll was also exemined to show that there had ben trouble. He saw a party of colored men and some distance behind them a party of white men, who appeared to be follo: He heard one of the white men sa ; — —., you won't do me the way you ¢id that other man on U street.” Insnector Pearson said he did not blow a whistle for the officer, nor did he see him enter or leave any house. Policeman Dor- sett explained that the officer charged had been with him to investigate the fight. This was also the testimony of the defendant. Poodle the Cause. A small poodle dog, not more than six weeks old, seemed to have caused the ap- pearance, on charges, of Policemen J. T. Bassford and A. J. Headley. This unof- fensive but loud-barking canine was locked in a patrol box at 9th and E streets south- west, the morning of July 15 J. F. Wilkinson, a colored man, who is as- sistant law librarian at the Capitol, was the prosecuting witness. “The patrol box is almost under my win- dow,” said the citizen prosecutor, “and he disturbed me about daybreak. Witness went out and stopped the patrol wagon on its way back from the Long bridge. There were four policemen in the wagon, one of them being Mr. Bassford. ‘This officer explained that he knew nothing of the dog’s presence in the box, and said he did not want to interfere with what cther officers had done. The dog remained in the box all day, and annoyed his wife so much that he went to the station and made complaint. Sergeant S id he had received Mr. Wilkinson's complaint, and he had the stray dog released. He learned that Mr. Bassford was the officer in the wagon early in the morning. Ofticer Headley turned in from the box later in the day. They were under the impression that a brother officer had put the dog in the box, and left him there. Who did put the dog there?” Captain Austin asked. “I don't know,” was the response of the sergeant; “I have made inquiries, but have been unable to ascertain the owner of the deg.” Officer Bassford said he saw che dog when Mr. Wilkinson made complaint, and as the hox was on anuther offi beat, he did not care tu interfere with it. His idea was that a brether patrolman had put the there, and wouid take it away after 6 o’cloc Officer Headley testified that the animal was not in the box at 11 o'clock the aight before, but it was there at 3 o'clock the next afternoon. Witness had heard no complaint about the dog, and not knowing why it was there, he did not touch it. “Have you any idea now to whom the peodle belonged?” the officer was asked. “Not the slightest,” was his response, “and I haven't seen the dog since. Policeman Bassford said he could bring witnesses to show that Mr. Wilkinson’s dog is noisy, but Lieut. Swindells remark- ed that so long as the brute did not visit Georgetown and bark it was not a factor. The identity of the poodle which caused the trouble has not yet been determined, and its departure from the box is as much a mystery as is its manner of entering its prison house. Pleas of Not Guilty. Private Edelin of the first precinct said “Not guilty” when Capt. Austin read to him a charge of having excesded his au- thority. It was charted that while a man Was under arrest he turned over the prts- oner's horse and buggy to a man ramed Leach. Acting Sergt. Lally was first. ex- amined and he said he did not rear Officer ielin authorize Leach to take away the horse and buggy. ‘The officer did tell him that he knew Leach to be a vesponsible young man. Policeman Loftus testified that when a young man was arrested for reckless driv- ing he refused to allow his companion (Leach) to take away the horse and buggy. Word was sent to the livery stable keeper to come for the team. When he arrived the team was gone, but he did not know vho had given permission for it to be taken. Patrol Driver Cook gave similar testi- mony. There had been no evidence given against the officer charged, but the beard heard his defense. He denied that he had given Leach any authority to take the team away. J. W. Leach also denied that he wa authorized to take the team from the sta- tion. He had hired the horse and he thought h_ had a right to control it. The members of the board were of the same opinion, but ihe charges cannot be dis- missed until the testimony is sent to the Commissioners. Fired His Revolver. Policeman J. R. Harrover of the fourth precinct was tried on a charge of having fired his revolver in the public streets. It was charged that he fired the revolver without having had sufficient cause. At- torney E. J. B. O'Neill defended the of- ficer. Sergeant Smith preferred the charge against him, and said that the police- man’s indiscretion was the reason for his being in trouble. Last Thursday night about 10 o'clock the offense was alleged to have occurred cn K street southwest near 41% street. Officer Harrover, the sergeant i ns Liebig Company’s Extract of Beef is the essence of all that is best in beef.

When witness heard of his trouble he questioned him concern- ing the escape of a prisoner and his shoot- ing. Harrover's statement to him, he said, was that he had had trouble in keeping the crowd from the repes about the circus tent, and he arrested a young colored man. On the way to the station the prisoner, a boy about seventeen years old, assaulted him and escaped. The colored people who chad followed had thrown stones at him. It was the sergeant's idea that if the of- ficer had treated the crowd properly he would not have had any of the trouble. Acting Sergeant Williams gave similar testimony. The accused officer told of the experience he had at the circus, and of having arrest- ed the boy. On the y to the station, he said, a_big crowd showered stones upon him. What he did he had to do in a hurry, and this was to draw his pistol and fire in the air in order to intimidate the crowd and possibly save his own life. Several residents of the section where the shooting was done appeared and told of the affair. Colored people in the crowd, they sak, were armed with sticks and stones. Some of them said that stones were thrown before the shooting was done. The boy afterward broke away from the officer and got aw: “if Officer Harrover hain't shot,” said a witness, “he would have been raurderea.” The crowd, the witness said, was a big one, and all agreed that the officer was compelled te agopt some heroic measure to prevent vivlence. Two big colored men upon whom the offi- cer called for assistance appeared us wit- nesses. They said they were afraid to help the officer. Officer Juck Next. John A. Stokes, who was termed a peace- able and law-abiding citizen, appeared as complainant against Policeman Jack of the third precinct, and charged that the officer had used harsh, violent and disrespectful language. Mr. Stokes related to the trial board the story of his unpleasant experience. He was in charge of Justice Peckham’s house, he said, and when he saw a man under arrest he went out and spoke to some one in the crowd. Then the oflicer grabbed him, shook him and took him to the po- lice station. When this occurred he was more than a square from the house he was Watching. Witness was near the patrol box when arrested, and he was on his way to get a man to give him a bicycle lesson. The next morning when he tried in the Police Court he was acquitted. Wit- ness said he was not under the ipfluence of liquor. The defendant furnished a copy of the Police Court record, showing that Mr. Stokes had been put uncer his personal bends in the Police Court. He explained the circumstances under which the arrest Was made, and said that in the Police Court the man was convicted and put under his personal bonds. Luke J. Kearney said that when the big crowd had been ordered from the patrol box, the complainant, Stokes, walked abead and refused to go back. He heard Mr. Stokes say that he worked for a sena- tor, or a judge, and said, “You don't know who I work for.” The officer, witness said, was as gentle- manly as any one could have been. Other witnesses were examined and the day's session of the board closed. epee ATTEMPTED ROBBERY. Burglars Invade the Home Lately Oc- cupied by Senator Harris. There was an exciting scene enacted about 10 o'clock last night at the house where Senator Isham G. Harris so lately ended his days, and known as No. 13 ist street northeast, caused by two burglars attempting to commit a robbery there. Since the death of the senator, his son, Ed- ward, with his wife and child, has lived in the house, which is conducted by Mrs. Jones and her family. There was no man in the house early last evening, and when the burglars were first heard Mrs. Harris thought the noise was made by the return home of her husband. But when she go: out of bed she discovered that there were n in the house, instead of one, and ams caused them to make a hasty They left by the rear window on the second floor, and climbed down the rain spout to the ground. Over the back fence they went, and now the police are looking for them. A colored man who was passing the house at the time responded to the call for help, and a few minutes later word was sent fo police headquarters. Sergt. Perry, whe was in charge of the office, sent Detective Lacy to make an investigation, and several of the Capitol policemen were also summoned. They made an examination of the premises, but could not ascertain how the burglars got into the house. It is believed they se- ereted themselves in the house earlier in the evening, and began to operate about the time they thought the occupants of the house were asleep. It is not known whether the thieves were white or colored. =e es Naval Orders. Passed Assistant Engineer G. E. Burd has been detached from the Cincinnati and granted leave; Lieutenant Commander E. B.
