A constable, when he undertakes tq enforce a writ is- sued by a magistrate, is entitled to the pro- teetion.of the court; and, so far as I am concerned, he shall have it. “I will say further that the policeman who is so stupid as to arrest a constable for disorderly conduct because a crowd gathers around him ought to be removed from, the force.” These rémartks were made. by the judge in reference to the arrest of Constable Wil- liam F. Salter, who, with William H. Robinson, wes, apprehended while serving a writ of repleVin on the latter. ‘The evi- dence showed that Mr. Salter had’a writ of replevin for:the recovery of) a horse and set of harness purchased by Robinson, Lut not fully paid for, and that while serving the paper 4 “son ‘of "Robirisén interfered, causing a large craw: emble, and as an outcomé “Méssrs: Salter and Robinson were both placed under ite In dismissing the ond Gee fieainse Both the accused Judge Mills aaid: “There is a wide ssumderstanding on the part of policemen: antiisome Citizens as to the rights of 4 ciistaffie in serving a of the’party upon writ, And thé privileg; whom the writ is segyed_n resisting the ist] ae citizen to aggrieved person hi eh | procédure.

A large number of old soldiers who ars in the government service in this city have obtained their annual leaves of ab- sence, to begin a few days before the Buf- falo encampment. The exodus of the vet- erans will begin next week, and all of them are looking forward to an exceedingly pleasant time. Anticipating their coming reunion, they are already swapping stories of the days when their lives were in greatest danger. Three or four of them were gathered near the west door of the Treasury Department the other day talking about old times, when one of them, a watchman, said to the others: “See that rather stout man fixing to get in the elevator there? Well, I'll tell you a true story. “He and I were boys together, in Ken- tucky, before the breaking out of the war. We lived not far from each other and were continually in each other’s company. We went to see the gals together, we hunted wild turkeys together and we chased run- away niggers together. We didn’t think much of the future those days, although we beard our fathers often discuss the questions of preserving the Union and the right of secession. “Well, it wasn’t long before there was a cajl to arms. My folks owned plenty of slaves, but my father didn’t believe in se- cession. My brothers and I enlisted in the Ist Kentucky Federal Cavalry, and my old friend that I pointed to over there en- listed in the ist Kentucky Confederate Cavalry, ccmmanded by the famous John Morgan. Some time after we had been fighting each other, off and on, a portion of our cavalry stopped at Glalatin, Tenn. eBfore we knew it, Morgan’s cfvalry was upon us, and a great big chunk of us was captured in that town. I remember I was suffering from carbuncles under my arm, and eerly in the morning had gone to a doctor to have them lanced. In the squad which captured me was the man I just pointed out. I also recognized many other old friends on the rebel side. Treated Like a Prince. “Well, my friend, and the others whom I knew, treated me like a prince. After a while I-was paroled and sent to Camp Chase, later getting back to my command. It was a long time before I saw my friend again. Then it wi under somewhat tragic circumstances. Morgan was near- ing the end of his celebrated raid Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. My regi- ment, among others, was in chase of him. ‘Then the capture the command was made in Ohio.

The police had two insane persons to deal with yesterday, and in each the patient was a resident of New Jersey. One of them, Oliver C. Holmes, will be taken home by his brother, while the other man, John A. Reilly, will be given a ticket and started home alone. Holmes is a traveling salesman from Trenton, and has been in the city several days, stopping at the St. James. Early yesterday morning he was locked up on a charge of intoxication, and again in the aft rnoon he fell into the hands of the police. He imagines that he is going to reorganize the police force here and do many things which may be number- ed among the impossibilities. Among other vagaries he imagines he has been elected to the Senate. His brother will probably take him away late this afternoon. Reilly says his home is in Newark, at Na. 47 Magazine street. He was arrested in the Capitol about 4 o'clock in the after- noon by Capitol Policeman Haskell. Reilly seemed to have an idea that he owned. the big building, and also that he had immense wealth. At No. 6 police ‘tion he said he had tramped and freighted his way here. When he had been given ‘plenty to eat-he appeared much better, and expressed a desire to remain here and work for Uncle Sam. While the doctors found that his mind was affected, they thought he was able to return home without an at- tendant. anoeres See ore ., Motel Arrivals. Raleigh—F. C. Butler, H. C.

News Gathered Andrew Williams, colored. a driver for Hopfemayer, the well-known fit dealer, was arrested yesterday by Policeman Rirkigt on a charge of petit larceny, the complainant being Mr. Mose Rhine, the manager of the 32d street market of Emrich Bros. The negro visited the place yesterday to collect some fat, and while thus employed smug- gled away a large shoulder of meat. It was missed, and a telephone message sent to his employer to look out for the ‘stolen article, After searching for some time Mr. Hopfe- mayer found the missing shoulder in his stable, under about fifteen bushels of oats, When placed before the judge of the Police Court this morning the negro was found guilty and sent to jail for fifteen days in default of a fine of $.

The new justice promises to break up the lawlessness for which the village was celebrated The trustees of the Dumbartor M. E. Church haye borrowed the sum of 310,000 on the str ucture, the mortgage for the same being placed on record yesterday. The money is advanced by the Potomac Fire Insurance Company, and W Riley Deeble and Joseph H. Bradley are named as trustees in the mortgage. ‘This sum will be expended in making the long-looked-for im. provements to the edifice. Now that the funds have been secured it is likely that the work of altering the church will be commenced at once. SaaS Seder The Pest of Cats. To the Editor of The Evening St I think the remarks of “I. N. Hammer” are the sentiments of the people in almost every locality in the city. The “cats” have become almost as much a plague as the rabbits were in Australia. Since the underbrush has been cut away in the C itol Park, very many stray cats and dogs who have lived there unmolested for years have had to find sheltcr somewhere else. So many vicious cats have been driven into the alleys that I have thought seri- ‘ap- ously of appealing to the Humane Society to find some humane way to dispose of them. A E.R —_.__ Their Preserves. The Hyattsville Game and Fish Protec- tive Association of Prince George's county has begun the work of posting the Prop- erty lately placed under the charge of the association, with shooting privilege to its members. The territory includes some twenty or thirty farms, embracing meadow lands of large dimensions. It is thought that artridges will be found there in abund- ance this fall, and the members of the as- Protec peseten are looking forward to some rare sport.
