New Apparatus at Columbian Fire Company’s Building—A Fire Alarm Service im Pronpect. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King street, Bell Telephone, No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, August 12, 1897. Warden John McCuen, it is claimed, can- not be held responsible for the escape of John Campbell, the inmate of the jail who cut his way out last Tuesday night. This seems to be a fact undisputed. The jail is very poorly constructed, and is termed by those who are confined there as an “easy mark.” It will be remembered that Campbell was foiled a few days previous by Warden Mc- Cuen in an attempt to escape, and the prisoner was removed to another cell. The latter apartment proves to have been as easy to get out of as the other, and con- sequently it was only a few days before Campbell breathed the air of freedom. Mr. McCuen has been identified with the city jail for several years past, and has proved himself to be a valuable and trust- worthy officer. The institution. of whith he has charge is sadly in need of modern improvements. Receives a Donation. Engineer Wood of the Columbia Fire Engine Company has been presented with @ new apparatus, known as the Trip, for opening the stall doors and receiving an alarm. The apparatus is worked by elec- tricity. Lieut. Kelly and Engineer Cran- ford of the Baltimore fire department will come to this city tomorrow to arrange the electrical part of the system. When the work of placing it in position 1s completed, the city officials will be invited to witness a test of the new system, and if it proves to be satisfactory, there is no doubt that it will be adopted. A company, through its agent in this city, has offered to put in a fire alarm sys- tem, in connection with the “Trip,” with forty alarm boxes, for $400, guaranteeing satisfactory results. The city is in need of both systems, and now that the opportuni- ty is afforded of securing them at a rea- sonable cost, it is believed both will be in- troduced. Candidate Caton’s Defeat. The news of the defeat of Mr. J. Ran- dolph Caton for the democratic nomination for lMeutenant governor at Roanoke yes- terday was disappointing to his many friends in this city. It was with great regret that the news was read from the bulletin boards in front of he Star bureau this morning. Receive a Surprise. Much to the surprise of citizens a neat- looking car appeared this morning on the local line of the Mt. Vernon electric rail- way, which is a decidéi improvement on that-which has been hitherto doing the local work. Later, however, the old one made its appearance. One of the wheels on this old car is cracked, and the noise it makes when in motion sounds like that of a pile driver. Nuisance Complained of. Complaint is made of young men who congregate nightly at the corner of King and Pitt streets and make very insulting remarks, much to the annoyance of pass- ers-by. The authorities, it is understood, are to be appealed to for protection against the nuisance. General and Personal. Miss Mamie Cockrell has returned from Prince William county, after a pleasant so- Journ of two weeks with friends. Mayor Simpson and family returned to- day from Baltimore county. Mr. B. F. Gwynn, who has been ill for some time, is improved. Mrs. Harry Kirk ard family have re- turned from St. George's Island, Md. Mr. Frank E. Anderson delivered the oration at the River View tournament yes- terday evening. A lawn party for the benefit of the Bap- tist Chapel will be given at Del Ray to- night. A large crowd is expected to be in attendance. Mr. Fred. Schwab, jr., has gone to Colo- nial Beach. Miss Mollie Chinn is summering in Fau- qucer county. The vesper services at St. Mary’s Chureh will hereafter begin at 7:30 o'clock p.m and not at 4 o'clock, as has been the cus- tom for many years past. Mr. Geo. H.

Mr. Courtney Hauck has gone to New York, where he has secured a lucrative pesition. Miss Edna Kelley has gone to Lynch- burg on a visit to friends. The condition of Rev. Father F. X.

Suit for divorce was filed this afternoon by Mary Claude Kriening, naming Theo- dore August Kriening as defendant. ‘The couple were married at the parsonage of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church June 3, 1894. Mrs. Kriening charges that since afew months after their marriage and up to the present time, during cach and every day, her husoand hes beaten and ill-treated her until it has mode her life unbearable and her existence precarious. She has at times, she says, feared that he was going to kill zer or permanently injure her. Mrs. Krien- ing recites, in detail, a number of instances of alleged cruelty and brutality. In April, 1897, it is added, when she had her husband arrested for his ill-treaiment of her, he threatened to kill her, and she is now fearful that for filing the suit for divorce he will execute the threat. Continuing, Mrs. Kriening says: ‘The defendant, in December, 189%, violated his marriage vows by cohabiting with one Margaret Halfpat, at house No, 911 4% street southwest, and the facts in the case are that he advertised in the paper for a ‘Good-looking German girl, by a single man, aged twenty-one, marriage at sight,’ and in answer to this advertisement Mar- garet Halfpat came to the house and the defendant there kept her as his nouse- keeper and acted improperly with he Her husband, says Mrs. Kriening, is by trade a merchant tailor,and a man of extra- ordinary ability, and «an always obtain work. She asks an absolute divorce, ali- mony, custody of her children, the restora- tion of her maiden name cf Corron, and an injunction to prevent her husband from molesting her. Attorney Edward. G. Niles is the eolicitor for Mrs. Kriening. —.___ PICKED A FARMER’S POCKET. Thomas Suter Charged With Robbing B. Pumphrey and Jailed. Special Correspondence of The Evening Sta: ‘ WASHINGTON GROVE, Md., August 12, 1897, Mr. J. B. Pumphrey, a farmer, residing near Derwood, received yesterday a check for $70, in settlement of a sale of wheat, and, having-had it cashed, came to a way- side resort near this place about 11 o’clock last night, where he fell in with Thomas Suter. Later they departed for the depot in company. Near the depot, it is alleged, Suter struck the horse driven by Pumph- rey, POSSIBLY A GRIMINAL ACT Ee >» — Dangerous Obetru: tigi Found.on B. and 0, Sea Train From Bay Ridge N: ely Derail- ed—The Dete¥tives Are Making a CarefuP! Investigation, +. oe eT 2 Padsengers on: the. Washington train which left Bay Ridge #t 6:50 o'clock yester- day evening were given a lvely shake-up upon reaching a point pear Muirkirk, which is orly a short distance this side of Laurel. Some miscreants had put a heavy timber across the track in an effort, happily un- successful, to wreck the train. Engineer Chadwick was at the throttle of No. 201, drawing seven coaches, with about 400 Passergers aboard, when the timber was struck. Conductcr Gary was in charge of the train, both men being old and ex- Ferlenced employes of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The train was coming along at a fast rate of speed, being only seven minutes ahead of the Pittsburg express. Both Engineer Chadwick and Conductor Gary were at- tending strictly to their duties and were allowing the train to lose no time, know- ing the Pittsburg train was not far be- hind. The Baltimore train had been left at Annapolis Junction, and the Washing- ton coaches were speeding homeward at a lively rate, when the obstruction was reached. The engineer saw the timber about the time the crash came, but it was too late to prevent the shike-up. He reversed his engine as promptly as he could, and be- cause of his able management of the tra‘n, it is said, none of the cars were derailed. Passengers Alarmed. When the train had come to a full stop, many of the gentlemen among the excu sionists Jumped from the cars to ascertain the cause of the sudden stop. A danger signal was put out to protect the train from a rear-end collision, and a hasty ex- amination was made. That there had been an attempt to wreck the train there seemed to be no doubt. It occurred to some of the excursionists that a search of the surrounding country was the proper thing, for it was believed the persons responsible for the timber on the track were in hiding in the woods. This would have gratified the railroad men, but they knew the Pittsburg express would soon overtake them, and tearing a worse accident from delay they concluded to have the train resume its journey and get the excursionists home. Some of the passengers were very much excited, but they soon quieted down. ‘The train reached here a few minutes late. The officials made their reports to the train dispatcher when they reached the station. This report was forwarded to Baltimore, and Chief Lloyd of the railroad detective force has his men making an investiga- tion. Wanted to Wreck the Express, It is generally believed the would-be train wreckers had no idea of throwing the Bay Ridge train. They evidently intended the obstruction for the Pittsburg express, on which, it is stated, large sums of money are usually carried. Had the fast express struck the obstrugtion; it is thought a com- plete wreck wouid have been the result. At the point where the timber was placed there is a stretch of;.woods on both hides of the track, so that if the work was real- ly that of wreckers it would have been a difticult matter for a,posse to have over- taken them. Not far from the tracks there is a swamp, which leads along the county for miles, and makes a good hiding place for fugitives. Today the deteetivemare doing all in their power to apprghend the criminals, if criminals there are. ‘It is barely possible the timber was accidentally dropped from a train. < —_.——— CLAIMED AN ALIBI. Lack of Identification Caused Busa- rod’s Release on Bonds. Officer Hall today told Judge Scott that Frank Bushrod has been giving him trouble for a year past by persistently standing at night, with other young men, at the corner of 11th and=V streets north- west. These assemblages were of great annoyance to the people of the neighbor- hood, the policeman said, and the lieuten- ant had given orders that they must be broken up. In consequence, he had warned Bushrod to keeo away from the corner, and as he had not done so, he got out a warrant and arrested him. Lawyer Peyton, who was counsel for Bushrod, evidently convinced Judge Scott that it was possible the officer was mis- taken as to his client being the man wanted. Several witnesses testified that Bushrod was at werk the evening stated in the information long after the time the officer swore he was on the corner. The court decided to make further investiga- tion, and released Bushrod on his personal bonds, to appear when wanted. ——___ Transfers of Real Estate.

Eliza Dorsey was before Judge Mills to- day on the charge of making threats to- ward Lena Liverpool. On the stand Eliza threw so many aspersions on the character of Lena, which, Judge Mills said, there was no evidence to sustain, that the court re- quired her to give bonds in $200, and, fail- ing to do so, she went to jail under a sen- tence of thirty days. SS Kicking Not Profitable. For kicking Eva Washington in the stomach and thereby causing injuries which, it was alleged, for a time endanger- ed the woman's life, Charles Hughes was today fined $25 by Judge Mills. In default of payment the prisoner went down for sixty days. z : Ho Charges Immorality. John Jones, thfougti Attorney F. R. Keys, today filed suit for divorce from Elizabeth Jones. The parties were married October 15, 1891, and have one child. They lived tegether; says Mr. Jones, until November 28, 1805, when his wife was guilty of an immoral act. in. addition to the divorce, he asks the cust y of the child. FT BRUTAL TREAT T A Little Golored Girl Terribly Whipped With a Rawhide. : The Case Heard im the Police Court— Judge Mills’ Remarks in Passing Sei Mrs. Maria Smith, a middle-aged colored woman, was today sent to jail by Judge Mills for sixty days, fined $25, and, if that is not paid, sixty days additional in prison, for the brutal treatment of Rosa Russell, @ little colored girl about eight years old. There were few dry eyes in the court room while the testimony in the case was being heard, and Attorney Hewlett, who defended the prisoner, said he could not find words to express his views of the cun- duct of any one who would treat an ani- mal, much less a human being, as the child had been treated, and he could noz bring himself to believe thet any mother, as Mrs. Smith is, could become so devoid of all the instincts of a woman, which it was evident was the case of the guilty party in the matter in 4 The case was brought to the attention of the court by Humane Officer Wilson and Officer Reiplinger of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, each cf whom yesterday received a postal card (not signed), asking him to do something to take Rosa Russell out of the clutches of Mrs. Maria Smith, living on z2d street between L and M streets northwest. What the Officers Found. The officers at once repaired to Mrs. Smith’s house, but were refused admit- tance, and they went to the house adjoin- ing to make inquiries concerning the com- munication they had received. While there the little girl crawled over the fence to where Messrs. Wilson and Reiplinger Were. With the exception of a woman's jersey, she was utterly destitute of clothing, and was taken to the house of a neighbor, where she was examined as to her physi- cal condition. It was found that her back and legs, as well as her arms, were a mass of bruises, welts and running sores. In reply to questions from the officers, the child stated that the blows were in- flicted by Mrs. Smith. The officers were also informed by persons in the neighbor- hood that almost nightly Rosa’s screams were heard begging Mrs. Smith not to beat her, but that her entreaties were of no avail, nor did Mrs. Smith cease whipping the child until it suited her purpose to do so. Leaving the neighborhood the officers at once proceeded to the Police Court and swore out a warrant against Mrs. Smith on the charge of cruelty to the child, and last evening she was taken into custody. The officer who made the arrest managed to secure a whip, known as a cowhide, which the little girl identified in court as the one with which she had been beaten on numerous occasions. The above facts were corroborated by testimony offered this morning in the Po- lice Court before Judge Mills, who then had the clothing removed from the child's back so that he could examine her condi- tion. The judge characterized the condi- tion of the child as evidence of the most brutal treatment that he had ever seen inflicted on a human being, but listened patiently to the evidence for the defense. The Defendant's Testimony. Mrs. Smith, who took the stand, told Judge Mills that she had never in her life whipped the child with a cowhide, but that two boys who formerly worked for her husband had done so and they were im- mediately discharged by her husband wher he heard of it. Several other witnesses, all of whom were connected with the fam- ily, testified that they had never heard cr ance of Mrs. Smith whipping the little girl. After both sides had been heard Judge Mills called Mrs. Mary Russell, mother of the little unfortunate, to the stand, and asked her how it came about that the wo- man Smith ever got possession of her little girl. In reply Mrs, Russell said: The Girl's Mother's Story. “About three years ago the Smith family moved into the neighborhood of where we then lived in Georgetown, and Mrs. Smith, a little afterward, went around trying to find a small girl to play with her little boy. Among thé houses that she visited was my own, and at her request and in considera- tion of the fact that I had to go out to work by the day, I let her have my little girl, She at once took her to her own home, and in a little while wanted me to give her papers surrendering all my right to the child. I refused to do this, but told her that she could keep my little girl as long as she was satisfied with Rosie and Rosie was with her. “So far as I know Mrs. Smith treated the child as well as could be expected until a few months ago, when I began to hear that Rosie was being abused by the woman. I went repeatedly to the house to make in- quiries, but could never gain admittance, and although I saw Rosie at an upper win- dow the child would not come down and let me in because, as she said, Mrs. Smith would not allow her to open the door when she (Mrs. Smith) was away from home. This state of affairs has continued for some time, and although I have tried re- Peatedly to have a talk with my little girl I failed to do so until the officers became interested in the case yesterday.” Judge Mills asked Mrs. Russell if she was able to take care of her little girl if he restored Rosie to her, and Mrs. Russell re- plied that she was, adding that not only did she have abundance of work, but that her husband was regularly employed by a large establishment in the city. This ended the hearing of testimony in the case and Judge Mills, addressing the prisoner, said: Jadge Mills’ Remarks. “I am going to give you such a sentence as will teach you not to abuse a child again. Never in my life have I seen such an exhibition of total depravity as I wit- nessed upon examination of the back of this little child a few moments ago, and I cannot realize how you could become so de- void of all the instincts of womanly nature as to maltreat a human being in the way you did little Rosie Russell.” Judge Milis then reviewed the evidence on both sides at considerable length, add- ing that the witnesses for the prose2ution were eminently respectable, and while they had not seen the whippings, the fact that they had heard the screams and pleadings of the child, added to the fact that the poor little thing had timidly told him that Mrs. Smith had beaten her with the cowhide, convinced him that the prisoner was guilty. He then imposed the sentence as above stated. Mrs. Smith was led to the cells be- low by Bailiff Darr, and Rosie left the court room in company with her mother. ed CAMP MEETING CLOSES.
