Robert Holt, colored, was sent to jail for six months yesterday afternoon, sen- tence being pronounced by Judge Kimball, fm the Police Court. Assault was the charge, the testimony being to the effect that Holt cut Isaac Harris very severely abeut the head, face and neck with a knife. It seems that Holt returned to his board- ing house on D street between 9th and 10th streets, and found Harris and several wo- ™ in the room.

PROBABLY HAVE THREE COMPANIES Preparing to Take Part in Some Outside Competitions. THE ROSTER OF OFFICERS —— Se The organization of the cadet battalion of Gonzaga College has been completed for the coming year, and the young soldiers are now hard at work mastering the in- tricacies of military drill. They are full of entnusiasm, and the promise of success is greoter than in any previous year in the history of the battalion. > Lieutenant Francis Carroll Mattingly of the District of Culumbia National Guard has been appointed instructor in military tactics, and assumed charge of the cadets last Monday afternoon. He succeeds Lieu- tenant William S. Guignard of the 4th Artillery, United States army, who drilled the battalion last year. Lieutenant Mattirgly is the senior sub- altern of Company D, 5th Battalion, of the local militia, and is one of the best-known and most popular of the younger officers of the guard. He is an ardent militiaman, receiving his training as a soldier in the District guard. His first service was in the original Moricn Cadets, and he was later a member of that company’s famous Mem- phis drill team. Lieutenant Mattingly has held nearly every position in the guard, from private to his present rank, and is now president of the 5th Battalion board of examination. He is an old Georgetown University boy, and last year graduated from the law department of that institu- tion. The new instructor entertains great hopes for the future of Gonzaga’s cadets, Lieut. F. C. Mattingly. and has begun a thorough system of drill for the boys. The batta is larger at present than ever. Heretofore the com- mand has consisted of two compan but there are one hundred and fifty students wearing the uniform this year, and the probabilities are that another company will be added. The band and corps of field music of the battalion now numbers over 3 terty members. These young musicians are struggling earnestly with their sharps and flats, and intend that Washington shall hear from them during the winter. Outside Competitions. After the cadets have become thorough- ly organized it is intended to hold public dress parades so that the friends of the embryo soldiers may be able to see them execute the maneuvers in championship style. These parades may be held on the White Lot. But the feature of this year’s work that a Is most strongly to the hearts of the cadets“is the idea of outside competition. Until row the contests for honors on the drill field have been limited to the companies of the school, and they have not had an opportunity to try their steel with the military representatives of otner schools. This fact has not damp- ened the spirits of the cadets, but on the contrary they have won high praise in all the drills in which they have engaged. The pronosition to undertake a contest with some school was considered last year, but nothing came of it. An effort will be made this year to have the winning com- pany in the college battalion drill against the winning company of the regiment of Washington High School Cadets. The officers of the corps are almost the same a: st year. J. Vincent Coughlan has been reappointed major; Wm. Todd Fox, quartermaster, and Claude V. Col- ford, sergeant major. C. Hugh Duffy will succeed Join A. Curran as adjutant, Mar- tin E. Horn will be captain of Company A, with Robert J. Achstetter as first lieuten- ant and Stanislaus Lymch as second leu- tenent. Robert J. Green holds over as captain of Company B, and Thomas H. Crook and James F. Markey remain as first and second lieutenants, respectively. Details of Organization. It is announced by the college officials that besides the use of the gymnasium there will be regular drill exercises, under the direction of a competent instructor. The benefit of this exercise has been so apparent that the faculty has deemed it wise and expedient to compel all students to be supplied with the military uniform. The non-commissioned officers of the bat- talion ar Company A—Henry A. Hegarty, first ser- geant; Francis I. Neubeck, second ser- geant; William M. Deviny, third sergeant; Frederick L. Deverux, first corporal; + second corporal: Joseph P. Wahler, third corporal, and Edwin K. Harris, fourth corporal. Company B—Frank B. Devereux, first sergeant; William A. Shreve, second ser- geant; William C. Repetti, third sergeant; Joseph L. Lee, first corporal; Thomas B. Hagan, second corporal; Owen B. Corri- gan, third corporal, and Don C. Ellis, fourth corporal. An important adjunct to the battalion of cadets is the Gonzaga College Field Band, which by its excellent work has earned an enviable reputation and taken a stand among the leading musical organizations of the national capital. John J. Madigan is the leader and Luke J. Glancy the drum major. The other members and their in- struments are: Correts—Jas. P. Ryder, Walter I. Plant, George A. Lansdale, Edward R.

George Kibbie the Victim of a Pain- ful Accident. A young man who gives his name as George Kibbie, and who seems to have no particular plac2 of abode, was run over by @ freight train near the 11th street cross- ing on Maryland avenue southwest about ® o'clock last night. His right leg was crushed near the knee to the extent that amputation was rendered necessary. Kibbie reached here yesterday morning from the Monumental City, and later in the day concluded to go south, where he would not be subjected to much cold weather. With this object in view he boarded an outgoing freight train. He had been on the train only about two minutes, when, he claims, he was pushed off by two brake- men. When we fell he struck against the fence which protects the tracks, and then his leg was caught and crushed. Dr. Boarman was summoned to attend the man and administered a dose which eased his pain. The patrol wagon from the fourth precinct was then summoned, and Kibbie was taken to the Emergency Hos- pital, wher his leg was amputated. When the injured man made the charge that he had been thrown from the train the police made an investigation and it may end in the arrest of the brakemen for alleged assault. Today at the hospital it was stated that the injured man was Going well and his recovery is expected. ae ae Trustees’ sale of large tract of land at intersection of P street and Rock creek, containing about 2% acres.

Information has been received by the local detectives that Jacob Strailer, known to every police department as “Dayton Sam,” is badly wanted by the Chicago po- lice, from whom he recently managed to get away by giving an alleged worthless bond. It is charged that he relieved Joseph Rippin of $1,200 in broad daylight on Archer street in Chicago a few days ago. Although “Dayton Sam” is believed by the police to be one ofthe most notorious professional thieves in this country, it is said he has always had the good fortune to escape the penitentiary. Here in this city he was arrested during Cleveland's second inauguration for robbing a man near Cumberland, as well as for having operated in the crowd of spectators at the inauguration, and because of a mistake of @ policerran he was released as one of the many “drunks” who had been locked up over nigbt to get sober. Afterward Jus- tice Grannan, who was then chief of the Baltimore and Ohio detectives, captured the alleged notorious crook, but he es- caped trial by Jumping his bond. “Dayton Sam" was photographed while he was under arrest here, and his picture is in the gallery at headquarters.

According to a report printed in The Star a few das ago, and which was handed in at The Star office by some one believed to be the secretary of the organization, the DEATH OF MRS. TIMMONS. Third Victim wf Morrible Tragedy in Montgomery County, Md. Mrs. William Timmons, who was shot Thursday afternoon by her husband, died at Garfield, Hospital.at 8 o'clock last night, making the third vietim of a terrible trag- edy, which has few parallels in the history of desperation and.crime. Mrs. Timmons and Mrs. John Hinton, who was also wounded by the frantic murderer and sub- sequent suicide, were brought to Garfield Hospital from the wcene of the tragedy, near Ednor post office, Montgomery county, yesterday afternoon in a covered wagon, by Mr. E. B. Thomas. Mre. Timmons was unconscious when the hospital was reached at 7 o'clock, and died an hour later with- out regaining conseiousness. Mrs. John Hinton, who was shot in the back, stood the journey exceedingly well, consrde‘ing her suffering. It is believed she will re- cover. The body of William Timmons, the double murderer, was found, as stated in The Evening Star yesterday, near Ellicott City, Md., with a bullet through his head. He had shot himself in the right side of the head above the ear. Life was not quite ex- tinct. He died in Catonsville at 8:10 o'clock last night about the same time that the spirit of the wife he had murdered passed away at Garfield Hospital in this city. A letter was found in his pocket addressed to his wife. It was dated in this city October 6 and was filled with declarations of love and pleas for her to return and live with him. He stated in the letter he intended to call upon her with a lawyer, and that if she still declined to return to him the let- ter would be found on his dead body. The remains of old William Hinton, who was instantly killed by Timmons, were in- terred yesterday afternoon in the Burtons- ville cemetery. The funeral was largely at- tended. ——_.____ Gayton Coal Fast Taking the Lead! $5.25 per ton—stove—egg—nut. Ask your dealer for Gayton. Insist on having tt. Accept no substitute.
