Crap Shooters in Front, With the Usual Array of Ordinary Offenders —Penalties Imposed. Policemen Keefe and Hauser saw four colored boys Saturday night on their knees on Massachusetts avenue, and thinking they were engaged in a game of “seben- leben” the officers started to capture the quartet. They succeeded in arresting two of the boys, who gave their names as Gar- field Mann and John, alias “Poodle” Banks. According to the statements of the police in court, this morning, one of the boys ad- mitted that there hati been a game of crap in progress, and gave the names of the other two boys. But the boys denied the statements of the officers concerning the alleged admission. “But you were on your knees?” queried the court. “Certainly we was on our knees,” an- swered “Poodle” Banks, “but we wasn’t playin’ crap.” “What were you playing? “We kad been paid off, and one of the fellers dropped ten cents on the ground,” Was the boy’s response; “we was lookin’ for it.” “You are sure you were not on your Knees saying your prayers?” queried Mr. Pugh. “Man, go 'way,” answered the boy; “you know nobody don’t say prayers on the street.” Judge Scott questioned the boys closely. While they only repeated their denials the court was satisfied that they were guilty, and fined them $ each. Wasn't So Bad. Robert Johnson, a colored man, was an- other of the sixty-four prisoners in the dcck. His apparel was far from good, and the police irsisted that it proclaimed the man. = “I does drink a little beer once in a Soe " admitted Robert, “but I ain’t so rad.” “What do you do for a livelihood?” quer- ied the court. “Works,” was the man’s quick response. “I'm waiting for a job on the Baltimore railroad and Mr. Mullen, the contractor, is due today.” “I know Johnson,” said Officer Bradley, “and every time he gets a nickel he gets a drink with it.” “Judge,” said Johnson, “how could I buy elcthes if I. spent all my money for drinks?” “You don’t’ seem to have bought many lately,” was Mr. Pugh’s rejoinder. “Ten dollars,” said the court, “and if you can convince me about going to work I may let you go.

Se ae THE BAKER WAS FINED. Charles A, Noolan Arraigned for Dix- orderly Conduct and Threats. In a little rear room of bis residence, on the outskirts of Rosslyn, Justice Sellers of Alexandria county presided at the trial of an interesting case late Saturday even- ing. It was after 10 o'clock when the magistrate, who was about to retire, we summoned to the court room and con- fronted with the case of the commonwealth of Virginia vs. Chas. A. Noolan, a baker, residing at Falls Church, Va. Special Officer J. W. Gaines of Rosslyn explained the cese to his honor, stating that he had arrested the defendant for disorderly conduct, after repeated warn- ings, at the station of the Falls: Church electric line at the Aqueduct bridge. ‘The ofiicer further testified that the prisoner esisted arrest and had threatened to the witness if released, whereupon witness was compelled to use his club for self-protection, which he did with a will. Several witnesses from Georgetown were illed, and the testimony of the complain- ing officer was corroborated in every re- r. Jacob E. Birch of Ballston, who ap- peared as counsel for the defendant, made a strong appeal for his client, and ex- pressed the conviction that the prisoner should be allowed to secure medical at- tention for the wound on his head inflicted by the officer's club. In disposing of the case his henor delivered a long opinion upon the testimony submitted, and closed his remarks by fining the defendant $1 and costs, which large amount was finally paid, and the court room deserted at a few minutes before midnight.

Under the ban of several slight handi- caps the Morton Cadets, winners of second prize at the recent San Antonio interna- tional drill, gave two exhibitions Satur- day at Marshall Hall which were entirely successful in every way. The drill team in the afternoon, of necessity, included a number of substitutes, the regular men not being able to go down the river until the Yate boat. The drill at night had to be held in the dancing pavilion, and the floor being waxed and as smooth as a mirror it was utterly imoossible for the boys to do themselves entire justice. Their work, how- ever, convinced the spectators that the Morton Cadets are ir, the very first rank of drill companies. The applause was enthu- siastic and contiructs. Large crowds wert down to Marshall Hall on all the beats, particularly that in the evening. The afternoon drill wis held on the lawn immediately after the arrival of the 2:30 o'clock boat. The boys wore the same uniform in which they appzar2d in the competition at San Antonio, black blouses and ceps ard white duck trousers. They entered the dancing pavilion in the evening to the tune of a stirring march, played by Schroeder's orchestra. After m: rching about the inclosure Capt. Shilling halted the company anda proceeded with the execution of the manual of arms, both with and without the numbers. Next the loadings and firings were in order, includ- ing kneel and lie down. After that fol- lowed the feot movements in the school of the company and by pla‘mons. Capt. Shilling took ¢ -casion to execute the disputed points in the Sen Antonio arill program as Scerpreted by both the Morton Cadets Ad the Governor's Guard of Austin, the .atter the winning company. By their applause the spectators cast a unanimous vote in tuppert of the inter- pretation of Capt. Shilling. After the drills the Cadets enjoyed them- selves 1m dancing, and on the trip home- ward assembled on the deck of the steamer and sang the selections which were a fea- ture of the ride to and from San Antonio. ——— EXCURSIONS, Yesterday was a great day at Chapel Point. The River Queen had all the people she could handle, and in spite of the threat- ening weather all enjoyed the day im- mensely. There are plenty of attractions at the Point to entertain the guests, even though it does look like rain, and there was no dearth of pleasure for a single moment of the day. Tomorrow-and Thursday the River Queen will make the trip to Chapel Point, as has been previously stated, in re- sponse to numerous urgent requests. The same schedule will be used as on Sundays, leaving the city at "30 a.m., and getting all hands home again by 9:30 at night. This will give all these who wish to make the trip a chance to enjoy the outing at the Point, and avoid any undue crowding of the steamer, as might be the case If only Sunday trips were made. The fishing and crabbing at the Point is unsurpassed any- where on the Potomac, and the bathing beach (salt water) attracts great numbers of folks who delight in this sport. On the steamer is a cafe, first-class in every par- in which the best of dinn are |. There is also good hotel accommo- dation to be had on the grounds. The en- tire trip affords a sail on the river of llu miles. One feature about which too much cannot be said is the breezes. Now that the Gays are at their hottest, and a vreath of fresh air here fm the city is welcomed with delight, a trip of this sort, where one is sure of twelve hours of continuous, cool, bracing breezes, is enough alone to attract a crowd sufficient to pack the boat. The River Queen leaves each Tuesday, Thurs day and Sunday morning at 9:30.

So great was the crowd at M yesterday that it seemed as y one in the city who wanted a few hours of coo!, breezy comfort must be on the spot. There has not been a bigger day at the Hali this spite the frequent ‘showers And every one nad a most enjoyable time, too. Marsnall Hall is so well provided with means to en- that, no matter what sort ements cut, they cannot keep the people from having the best sori of a time.

That Marsnall Hall popularly with the people was the crowds that took p: on the grounds from the time boat arrived in the morning, and on each succeeding trip additions to the already ge throng were made. A great many folks went down to spend the afternoon, listen to the music and take and the dining rooms were crowd- t of the time. The excellence of the cinners at the Hall 1s a matter of re- wn, and it is a favorite feature of the trip to enjoy a meal in the cious dining At night there was moonlight to the loveliness of the scene. The bad weather of yesterday did not prevent a large crowd from going to River View to see the balloon ascension and par- achute descent by Miss Grace Shannon, the well-known aerenaut, ‘The balloon was liberated soon after the Pentz reached the View on her last trip from Washington, and went up in the air as straight as an arrow until an elevation of 6,200 feet was reached. T it slowly drifted over the river, and Miss Shannon cut the parachute loose. She was fully five minutes in fall- the upper air currents carrying her one way and then another, but she finally fell into the water off Collingwood Beach, opposite River View, and was picked up by a small boat in waiting. ‘The ascension was one of the prettiest of the series given at the View. Miss Shannon will make her last ascension at the View on Wednesday evening next, tournament day. AMUSEMENTS, KERNAN’S OPENING.—The season of 1897-98 was opened at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater Saturday night. An audience that completely filled the house was in evidence and the enthusiasic way in which every feature of the show presented by Zittella’s English Froliques was received testified to the value of the performance. The theater presented a handsome appearance to those that attended Saturday night. The lobby has been repainted and enlarged and is now a really handsome entrance. Inside the theater the carpets and drap- erjes, and, in fact, all the fittings, are new, and the cozy playhouse is as attractive as one could wish. Zittella’s English Fro- liques was a good show to open with, and Manager Kernan showed his wisdom in selecting such a splendid organization to please his patrons at the beginning of the season. The first part, entitled “A Bashful Venus,” served to bring out the whole Strength of the company. The girls were pretty and tastefully costumed, while the comedians were above the average. Tilzer and Sydney, Brennan and Wheeler and Clarance Wilbur all made hits. In the olio Joe. Waldron in sengs, Ashton and Moore in a black-face turn and the Valmore Sis- ters, Gancers, were received with every mark of favor, and this also was the fact in the case of the Bijou Comedy Trio. Mile. Zittella was given a royal reception upon her appearance in “‘Buncoed at Monte Carlo,” the afterpiece, and received many floral tributes. A dance that winds up the afterpiece was one of the features of the show. Zittella’s English Froliques will continue at the Lyceum all this week. sc —_+.__ Nothing Small About Us but Prices. 5-lb. boxes finest creamery butter at $1.10. James ¥ Oyster, 900 Pa. ave.—Advt.

For spending Sunday afternoon shooting crap, John’ Bowman, William Wilson Cortland Seaton,” Noble Sanders, Amos Robinson, Washington Wilson, Harrie Morrison, Robert Lear and James Harris, eight colored youths, were fined $2.50 each by Mayor Simpson im the police court this morning. Word was received at police headquarters yesterday afternoon that a game was in progress in a house on South Royal street, near Welf street, and Chief Webster dis- patched Officers Atkinson and Knight to the scene. After reconnoitering a little they located game and had the boys cor- nered. Theeplayers were caught like rats in a trap. Mayor Simpson's action. will doubtless check their desire ror shooting crap for some time to come. Several of them will go to the chain gang, in default of payment. Other cases disposed of were as follows: Woodson Gordon, charged with assaulting and beating a young colored girl, was fined $5; John Powers, charged with drunk and disorderly conduct, fined $5; Albert White, Robert Smith and Wm. Brooks, colored youths, charged with swimming ‘in the altogether” in the daytime near ‘ish Town,” fined $2 each; Charles Bry- ant, charged with being drunk in the street, forfeited $5 collateral; Melissa Davis, charged with disorderly conduct, fined $2.50. Believed to Be Crazy. Rebecca Quill, a well-known negro char- acter, rushed into police headquarters this morning, having the appearance of a wild woman. She was dripping with perspira- tion, ard her clothes were partly torn from her body. She said that Keeper of the Alms House Smith was trying to shoot her. She was locked up for safe-keeping. She is be- lieved to be demented. Keeper Smith was in town at the time. The woman was sent to the work house several days ago for disorderly conduct. Jumped the Track. A south-bound electric train, in charge of Motorman Crook, jumped the track at New Alexandria at 6:40 o'clock yesterday after- noon. The accident was caused by a de- fective frog.

For three weeks or more the police have been endeavoring to apprehend Joha G. Faust, a jeweler and watch repairer, who was in business on an upper floor at No. 910 F street-northwest. Faust had been in business there for more than four years, and at times had done considerable work for other jewelers. One day, about the middle of last month, he failed to appear at his place of business, and several per- sons whose watches he had became sus- Picious, and later a warrant charging lar- ceny was issued from the Police Court and placed in the hands of Detectives Carter and Gallaher for service. An investigation made by the officers showed that Faust had pawned a number of the watches and had gotten about $150. When he left here Faust left a notice on his slate that he had gone out of the city for two days, but the two days were sev- eral times multiplied, and his patrons be- came uneasy and started an investigation. A large safe and regulator in the place were taken on a writ of replevin by the man from whom the missing jeweler had bought them. Faust formerly lived in Virginia, The cause of his alleged downfall, the police say, is his fondness for gambling. He is reported to have been a visitor to he gambling places across the river in Vir- ginia, and his favorite game, it is said, was keno. Persons who saw him there did not re- gard him as a plunger, but thought he lost only small sums at a time. The police be- lieve they will be able to cause his arrest in a few days. a THE RUMOR DE) ED. Dismissals at Government Printing Office Not Due to Politics. It has been rumored for some time chat there will be a large dismissal of the em- ployes at the government printing office, to make room for ccnstituents of the new administration, but this has been denied strenuously by the officials there. It has been known all along that the force was much larger than needed after Congress had adjourned, and it was expected that dismissals would follow as a matter of course, which was the case Saturday night, when a temporary force of about one hun- qred and fifty was released. As the office now comes under the class fied service, {t is probable that no whole- sale discharge of employes will take place, as has been anticipated, simply to make room for republicans. In fact, it is under- stood that the placing of the office under the civil service is a great relief to Mr. Palmer, who will thus have something to fall back upon when worried by senators and representatives to appoint their pro- teges. He said recently that Any rumor of a big shake-up, so far as he knew, was wholly without foundation. oe It matters little what it is that you want —whether a situation or a “want” ad. in The Star will person who.can fill your need.
