PARADE OF THE PRISONERS Proceedings Had in Both Branches of Police Court This Morning. Novel Cases Brought Up From Goat Alled—Fate of a Hobo—Push- cart Men. With the proceedings of both the Dis- trict and United States branches of the Po- lice Court to conduct, Judge Kimball was on the bench before 9 o'clock this morning, and the daily review of the offender: against the law was a moment iater in progress. One of the first cases brought to the at- tertion of his honor was decidedly interest- ing. William Meigs and George Cook, young colored men, were called to the front and arraigned on an information of a character perhaps never before filed in the court. The clerk read to the defend- ants: “It is charged that on the 8d day cf No- vember, in Goat alley, you did then and there cause a certain animal of the dog kind to run efter, bark and frighten a cer- tain person, to wit, J. H. Gibson.” The J. H.Gibson, whom the certain animal af the dog kind ran after, barked at and frightened, was Policeman Gibson, one of the most stalwart members of the force. ‘The spectators stirred with interest In an- ticipation of the details of what, it was ex- pected, had been an exciting incident. Meigs and Cook entered a plea of not guilty, as they did to an additional infor- mation charging profanity and disorderly ecnduct. “These men were disorderly in a house in Goat alley, yesterday,” explained Police- man Gibson. “They were indulging in pro- fanity that could be plainly heard outside. When I started in to arrest them they opened a door and ‘sicked’ two ferocious bull dogs on me, holding me at bay.” Tillman ‘Jenkins, colored, witnessed the occurrence, and assured Judge Kimball that the pcliceman had recited the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The defendants then denied any wrongdoing. Not only did they not set the dogs on the policeman, they said, but, on the other hand, exerted themselves to keep the dogs away from the guardian of the peace. Judge Kimball did not consider that the statements of the defendants bore the ear- marks of truth, so he imposed a fine of $5 on each defendant in each case. Clerk Harper's Blushes. Goat alley furnished another unusual and interesting case. Alice Brown, colored, was the defendant, and she was charged with insulting Jane West, also colored. Jane produced a note, containing several statements that were shockingly immoral and indecent. “Alice Brown shoved that note under my front door,” declared Jane, with flashing eyes. With tears streaming down her cheeks, Alice denied that she either wrote the note or placed it beneath the door, as charged. With the wisdom of Solomon, Prosecut- ing Attorney Pugh produced a pad and pencil and directed Alice to submit a speci- men of her handwriting, that it might be compared with the note referred to. “Write a note to Clerk Harper,” suggest- ed Mr. Pugh, “and inform him that he is a handsome young man.” ‘The woman refused to write. uch a statement is too much even for this girl, I suppo: added Mr. Pugh, and Clerk Harper blushed becomingly. Alice fina said that another girl wrote the objectionable communication, and, in order that the latter might be brought into court, the case was continued until to- morrow. Professional Tramps. This is the season when the professional tramps and hoboes are migrating to south- ern climes. They usually honor, or rather dishonor, Washington with a visit. Thomas Kelly is a hobo of the most pronounced type, and as he stood at the rail of the dock he could hardly be called prepossess- ing. “This is one of the boldest that ever came to my notice,” stated Po- iceman Walsh, who arrested Kelly. “Mr. Smith here will explain the case to your honor.” Richard Smith, the person designated, ex- plained that while standing at the corner of 4% street and Pennsylvania avenue last evening he was accosted by Kelly, who de- manded money. “When J refused to comply with his de- mand,” continued the witness, “he struck me a blow in the face and followed it up with several others. I called for assistance and the policeman responded. individuals Kell a rambling statement that three men had wuited him for no cause whatsoever. He mumbled something about leaving town at once if given the chance. “We are not at all desirous of having men of your ilk with us,” remarked Judge Kimball, “but it will be some time before you depart from the District of Columbia. You will nunths.”” The Offending Venders.

Unlike most pleasure resorts, the season never closes at Fortress Monroe and Vir- ginia Beach. From the first day of Janu- ary to the last day of December, these fa- mous places keep “open house.” The “Hygeia” bas long been known as one of the most popular hoiels in this country, Chamberlin’s new hotel is rightly classed among the most magnificent hostelries of the world, and the “Princess Ann” has made Virginia Beach famous. A stay at either of these places will leave nothing to be desired in the way of comfort, luxury ard pleasure. The steamers of the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company have been the favorite means of reacning these resorts with those who go from this city. They are so cozy and comfortable—have 80 many modern conveniences, and serve such excellent meals—that they have made the sall down the Potomac and Chesapeake Lay the most pleasureable part of the en- ure trip. Leaving 7th street wharf every evening in the year at 7 o'clock ,these steamers give an opportunity to enjoy a full night’s sleep im their tastefully fur- nished state rooms. Travelers can take this route without disarranging their pians very much. All railroads for the south and north have a starting point at Norfolk, and cognections are made with steamers for New York and Boston. a nee Unity Club Entertained. The Unity Club met Wednesday evening at the Litchfield, on 14th street, and was entertained by an essay on “The Limita- tions of Legislative Power,” read by Gen. Wm. Birney. The essayist took the ground that the safety of good and rational gov- ernmental institutions lies in the complete separation of church and state, and that, in order that religion may be earnest and true, aud politics pure, they must be kept as far apart as possible. The discourse was listened to with interest by the large audi- ence present. Miss Bischoff and Mrs. Rex Smith subsequently rendered vocal solos; Detightfal Mrs. Hooker, an original dramatic and musical sketch, entitled “The Fall of a Country Mill; the Montrose Mandolin Club and Prof. Yerke, instrumental music, and W. M. Barrow and Geo. Hensey, dramatic and humorous recitations. A committee was appointed to secure a hall for the meetings of the club. ——_—_ Electric Lighting Introduced.

LEO WHBAT’S MUSICALE.—Leo Wheat gave his first musicale of the season at the Shoreham last night. The pretty ball room in which the affair took place was well filled, many in the audience being personal friends of Mr. Wheat. Mr. Wheat was as- sisted by Mrs. Frances W. Hempstone, contralto; Mr. Herman C. Rakemann, violin- ist, and Mr: Henry Xander, pianist. Mr. Wheat played seven numbers, five of which were of his own composition, and each one was greeted with the applause that comes from sincere appreciation of splendid work. His program comprised selections from “Ii Trovatore,” a piano suite in three parts— 3? “Fantasie Impromp- tu,” Paderewski’s minuet, “Girls of the South,” waltz, a mediey of southern and patriotic airs, the “Grand Elks’ Two-step March,” and a plano suite of three parts— “Bridal Chorus and Song,” “Meh Lady's Schottische” and “The Dariing’s Dream,” waltz. Mr. Wheat's work was probably better than that he has done for some time. It displayed all the fire and force; the dain- tiness and splendid knowledge of light and shade that has made him famous, while some of his own compositions, and espe- clally the “Fantasie Impromptu,” showed the high musical intelligence he possesses. Mr. Rakemann played the andante move- ment from Mendelssohn's “Concerto,” Si- monetti’s “Reverie” and Brahm’s “Hun- garian Dance.” Mr. Rakemann’s ability as a violinist is well known, and, while his work last night was gratifying to the au- dience, it revealed the fact that he is not keeping up his practice as he should. Mr. Xander played his accompaniments in his usual goed style. Mrs. Hempstone had two numbers, both of which were encored, and which she sang in a pleasing manner. She gave un aria from “Samson et Delilah” and Bartlett's “A Dream,” beside the two en- core numbers. BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA— The program to be given by the Boston Symphony Orchestra at the Lafayette Square Opera House Tuesday afternoon next has been selected with the view of Pleasing both the lovers of the classical and the “light” in music. It is generally the case that the orchestra itself is regard- ed as the attraction, outside of the music which it plays in such a splendid manner, but the management pays attention to this detail and endeavor to supply all classes of music lovers, if possible. The program will include Brahms’ Symphony, No. 3; Goldmark’s Concerto for violin, of which Mr. Franz Kneisel will play two move- ments; “Espana,” Chabrier's rhapsody for orchestra, to be played for the first time here, and Weber's “Invitation to the Dance,” one of his most charming light compositions, also to be played for the first time here as orchestrated by Weingartner. Mr. Kneisel has been for the past decade the concert master of the orchestra, and his ability on the violin is so well known as to need no elaboration. The last two num- bers are waltzes, arranged in such a man- ner, however, as to make fit to appear on a symphony program. The first concert of the orchestra here this season will, without doubt, be in the nature of an ovation to this magnificent aggregation of musicians, whose equal does not exist on this side of the Atlantic, at least, and who are fit to cope with the best that may be found in the musical centers abroad. Season tickets and those for the first concert may now be obtained at the box office of the opera ouse. VAUGHN CLASS CONCERT.—A musi- cal event that has come to be looked for- ward to every season in Washington is the annual Vaughn Class concert. The sev- enth of these enjoyable affairs will take place tonight at the Calvary Baptist Sun- day School House, and a program has been prepared that will make these events even more popular than they are now. The pro- gram will include numbers by Mrs. H. Clay Browning, soprana; Mrs. William Boag, reader; Miss Claudia Moore, con- tralto; Miss I. Sidney Nesmith, reader; Miss Jessica Cowling, violinist; Mr. Harry Wheaton Howard, pianist; Mr. James Hen- ry Moser, reader; Mr. James Watson, so; Dr. Frank A. Swartwout, cornet- Mr. Douglass.G. Miller, tenor, and the drid Mandolin Quartet, consisting of Messrs. Holmes, Yundt, Gallaher and Hol- cer. CHURCH HISTORY LECTURES.—The second illustrated lecture on the history of “The Church of England,” was given. by Rev. Richard P. Williams, in Trinity Parish Hall, last Tuesday evening. The subject of the lecture, the “Establishment of the En- glish Church,” was treated in an interest- ing and entertaining way to a large and appreciative audience. The fifty-two ex- quisite views which illustrated this lecture served to heighten the charm of the dis- course. A fine musical program was ren- dered by Mr. H. A. Morse!l, Miss Lillian Halley, Mrs. James M. Stewart, Mr. S. El- lott and Miss Cruit. The accompanists were Miss Drew, Miss Barnes and Miss Strattan. —_—+—_—_ All Aboara!

Former Policeman’s Physical Condi- tion a Subject of Inquiry. Upon the motion of Mr. R. Newton Don- aldson of counsel for ex-Policeman Dan Williams, convicted Wednesday last of em- bezzling fines collected by him in the Po- lice Court, Judge Bradley today ordered that Dr. Barnes be permitted to make a physical examination of Williams at the jail, where he is confined awaiting sen- tence. It is understood that counsel for Will- jams wish to show that he is in such an impaired physical condition as to make further imprisonment dangerous to his life. Williams’ attorneys have not yet finally de- cided whether they will or will not press the motion for a new trial, but it is bellev- ed that if District Attorney Davis will con- sent to the imposition of a fine of, say, $500 and a term of imprisonment in jail of five or six months, they will not insist upon the motion. It is said that the grand jury have pre- sented Williams for the embezzicment of $146 of fines which were imposed for viola- tions of the humane laws. No such in- dictment has been reported to the court, however. If it is returned it will probably never be pressed, provided Williams’ coun- sel withdraw the motion for a new trial. ed $1.00 to Baltimere and Return $1.00 via Pennsylvania railroad.

Car No. 7 of the Georgetown and Tenley- town electric roadvcame very near getting away from the centro! of the motorman again this morning, amd but for the fact that the men remained:at their post, there would protably have been serious results. As the car came down:the 32d street grade about 8 o'clock the: brakes worked all right, but the wheels would not take hold on the track, and the heavy car came dash- ing down the incline. It was quite foggy, but fortunately nothing got in the way, ee — car was stopped at the bottom of je hill. The superintendent and general manager ef the road, Mr. J. H. Miller, called at the station last evening and complained of the actions of a crowd of children on 32d street, who made it a practice to pile leaves on the tracks. These, he believes, cause the trouble, as the car cannot stop on the track with the wet leaves beneath. James H. Taylor and Thomas E. Wagga- man, trustees, have sold to John F. Wag- gaman lot 47, in Manogue’s subdivision of square 1262. The property is improved by a handsome three-story and basement press brick dwelling, and known as 3117 N street, formerly belonging to the Josiah Dent es- tate.

Closing Meeting of Series to Be Held This Evening. “Rechabite evening’ manifested ttself last night at Foundry Church in the series of anti-saloon revival meetings by the pres- ence on the platform and in the reserved Seats of men and women wearing the bright colors ef the Independent Order of Recha- bites. Past Grand Chief Ruler A. K. Belt presided, and the prelude address on ‘“‘Rech- abites vs. the Saloon” was made by the well-known temperance speaker, Mr. J. 8. B. Hartsock. The Central Union Missi Quartet, com- posed of Mr. G. W. Havell, the McMichael brothers and Mr. Geo. W. Wheeler, officiated in ths preliminary service of song. ‘The hymn, “Stand Up for Jesus” was then sung by the congregation, and an earnest invocation was offered by Rev. Lucien Clark, D.D., pastor of Foundry Church. The prelude address followed, after which Mr. Edward F. Simpson made the appeal for funds for the expenses of the league. Miss Helen Nye, who was unable to be present Tuesday evening, sang an offertory selection, and Mr. Jesse C. Suter, chairman of the committee of arrangements, made the announcements and appealed for a crowded house the closing evening. Rev. J. E. Maurer, pastor of Trinity Luth- eran Church, Boonsboro’, Md., was then in- troduced as the orator of the occasion, and delivered a masterly address on “Masterful Temperance Manliness.” He likened Amer- ica to Macedonia, as the “land of opportu- nity,” and the Macédonian cry, “Come over and help us,” to tne cry now heard by every American ottizen for aggressive opposition to the Hquor traffic. He read some extracts from the Declaration of In- dependence so effectively as to win a burst of applause, and urged his hearers to con- secrate themselves as the signers of the declaration did to manly service for the protection of thetr homes and country against the un-American saloon. The speaker was frequently applauded. It was announced that the mceting to- night will be the last of this year’s anti- salcon revival series, and that a full chorus of seventy-five voices and a large audience of Christian -Endeavorers are promised. The program for tonight is as follows: Christian Endéavor evening, President rant Leet presiding; 7:30, song service, ‘97 local C.

They Have Already Taken Possession of the McCeney Property Seven of the Capuchin monks who ar- rived in New York two months ago from Italy have taken possession of the Me- Ceney estate, purchased by them in the pring, and located at the head of Phila- delphia street, in Brookland. It was thought that the monks would build be- fore takiag possession of this large tract ef land, but such is not the case. They rave moved into the old mansion, which they intend tosimprove in many ways, and will not begia the erection of a building for a year. In the meantime, the grounds ‘ill ba cleared of underbrush and beauti- fied so as to be ready for the reception of the building when the order decides to break ground. ‘The mansion, which though old, is firmly and substantially built, is undergoing im- provements under the direction of the monks themselves, while the rooms are being fitted up in bedrooms and studies. The estate includes forty-four acres and with its natural beauties of hills and wooded streams, will be found an ideal spot for such a college as the Capuchin monks desire. The plans cf the monks are not yet de- termined upon, but they will probably at- tend the Catholic University. The object of establishing at Brookland is to found an American house for the order. Other monks are expected shortly. ——— GAVE ITS ANNUAL BANQUET.

The Brightwood Park Citizens’ Associa- tion turned out in force at the regular monthly business meeting, held last night In Felter's Hall. Because of the unavoida- ble absence of President Clayton, the meet- ing was called to order by the vice presi- dent, Mr. W. F. Walsmith. Mr. B. F. Martin, chairman of committee on free delivery of mail, reported having interviewed the superintendent in charge of the subject, as well as the city post- master. Assurance was given, he said, that the extension of free delivery to Brightwood Park and Brightwood would be accomplished in the near future. The school committee, through Mr. Beck, reported having taken steps toward secur- ing the construction of a school building in the park. A canvass will be made to ascertain the number of children who are now compelled to travel all the way to Brightwood school, and a petition will be prepared and signed setting forth the facts. It is believed that if the matter is properly placed before the Commissioners a new buisa.ng will be erected somewhere near the center of the park. In the matter of sewers, it was announc- ed that sewer construction has been order- ed and advertised as follows: Connecting with main at corner of Illinois avenue and Des Moines street, east on Des Moines to 9th, north on 9th to Flint, west on Flint to Brightwood avenue. The committee was instructed to request that Des Moines street be connected as far east of 9th as the Potomac water system extends. On the subject of sidewalks a letter was read by the secretary from Capt. Beach of the Engineer Commissioner's office, in which he says: “I have to inform you that, although sidewalk for Flint street was advertised for construction, it was discovered just be- fore the work was commenced that there was a defect in the advertisement. As this would have invalidated. the assess- ment, it has been necessary to readvertise. The sidewalk is again under advertisement and, although we will be somewhat later than we had hoped, I can promise you that the walk on Flint street will be laid before December 1.” A verbal promise has also been given to representative members that should the residents concerned desire it temporary sidewalks of cement and cinder will be laid at the same time on several other streets without cost to the property holders. This is the desire of the association, and the secretary was instructed to notify the Commissioners accordingly. After the election of several new mem- bers and the transaction of other routine business the association adjourned. 00 Philadelphia and Return Via B. and O., Sunday, November 7.

These arrange- ments are necessary that there may be no disturbance of the money market. The re- organization committee has decided to make its payments according to the dates fixed by the court instead of paying the whole amount at once. Five payments are to be made, the first within fifteen days from the confirmation of the sale, and the last within sixty days. The four last pay- ments will be $12,500,848 each, and the first $8,084,528, less the amount of cash in the sinking fund, which is $4,549,368. -BPDP OO CH -<> Pug ei Pe oo Dyspepsia NO MEDICINE DID ANY GOOD UNTIL HOOD'S WAS TRIED. “I was a great sufferer from dyspepsia.

Congress Heights Citizens Criticise Exterior of School Building. The committee on Schools of the Con- gress Heights Citizens’ _ Association, Messrs. Henry Schultheis, chairman; B. H. White and Oscar D. Sanford—met last evening in accordance with instructions given by the association at its last meeting and adopted a petition to the District Com- missioners in reference to the repainting of the new public school building in Congress Heights. The petition will be laid before Proper authorities tomorrow. stance as follows: “We the committee on schools of the Congress Heights Citizens’ Association petition your honorable board to inspect the Congress Heights school building be- fore accepting it. The sum of $21,000 was appropriated for this building. The out- side of the structure is painted in spots and shows very poor workmanship, and in fact disgrace the whole building. Some bricks are one color and some another. We consider the school houses of Wash- ington an architectural disgrace, but while the plan of the Congress Heights structure is far superior to any other school building in the District, the paint- ing, of the bricks on the outside ruins the whele effect.” ——$_>——— Races at Benning, Nov. 6 to 20.
