All the police precincts of the District have been notified to look out for Robert Marshall, a fourteen-year-old boy, who, in company with Charles Brown, is missing from 232 Schott's alley northeast. Judging from the reports received at po- lice headquarters, there is a sort of scourge prevailing among the small animals of the District. There are today no less than six dead cats, awaiting burial, in the alley adjoining 49 F street. There is a dead cat lying in Purdy’s court between Ist and 2d, B street and Pennsylvania avenue, and a dead dog at 102 Chew’s alley between 1st and 24, FE and F streets. While riding a bicycle near 14th street and Thomas circle late yesterday afternoon, Miss Dora Miles fell and was painfully, though not seriously, injured. She was re- moved to her home in a cab and medical assistance summoned. Policeman Sullivan of the second precinct reports that a guy pole in the alley in rear of 1225 L street is broken, and that a tele- graph pole is rotted at the base and is in a dangerous condition at the same place. There is a dangerous hole around the manhole in the carriageway at 15th and Q streets. Six dangeroug holes in front of 724 Jackson alley have nm reported. Reuben Adame, colored, was today fine1 $5 and ordered by Judge Kimball to take out the proper tags for two dogs which he hes beer! keeping for some time past.

Alvord, chief of théldairy divis- fon, bureau of animal indwetry, Department of Agriculture, has returned from a six weeks’ trip through thé south and west. Secretary Wilson assigned to him, in addi- tion to a general inquiry into dairy matters, the duty of examining into the facilities for the transportation of perishable farm pro- ducts to the gulf coast and for exporting them from those ports. Mr. Alvord travel- ed through Arkansas, Texas, west section of Louisiana and sovtheastern Kansas, Georgia and Iowa. “The people in the section I visited,” Mr. Alvord stated, “seemed to be greatly in- terested in the dleomargarine cases here and in Philadelphia, and I heard much talk about the matter. The general expression on all sides was that the government stould not compromise the cases, as has been done hitherto, but should enforce the law to the fullest extent. Every person with whom I talked on the subject seemed to be fully posted, and all the phases of the oleo cases were thoroughly discussed, showing that they had been followed closely.” Sales of Oleo Diminishing. “The sale of oleomargarine for what it is to licensed dealers has been large in the past through Louisiana, Texas and Arkan- sas. The sales, howe¥er, have been greatly diminished, especially in the last year. People seem to prefer to buy genuine but- ter even of the inferior quality. Mer- chants report the selling of more butter, even of second and third grades, than of the oleo, and this has been the case more especially in the past few months. The statement by the merchants is fully con- firmed by the fact that the number of li- censes taken out has materially decreased. Filled cheese, which has formerly been prominent in that section, is now practi- cally unknown. The congressional law has cperated against this, and the result is an increase to the trade and in the consump- tion of general cheese. “The oleomargarine cases were especially watched in Iowa and Georgia. The people there were strong against compromise. The hotels and boarding houses are generally using oleo in Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. There is practically no legislation there which affects the sale of it. On the contrary, in such states as Iowa and Min- mesota, where there are good state laws and good dairy commissioners, oleo and imitations of butter and cheese are driven out. In Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas the boarding-house keepers get the oleo- margarine in original packages from large dealers, principally from Kansas _ City. ‘There is no law against the saie in Tex: In Louisiana and Arkansas the regulation only require the packages to be branded, which does not amount to anything. ‘There are no dairy commissioners ‘there, either, which naturally helps the sale of oleomar- garine. Situation in' Texas, The oleo interests are on top in Texas, because the catile people haye the sway there, and the oleo people make the cattle dealers believe that it is to their interest to sell tid oleo, 4s Beef cattle aré used in the, production, and the sale, of course, is thereby greatly increase, : “I was greatly impressed on my trip with the gradual extension of’ the dairy interesis to the southwest section and to the north- ern portion of the gulf;state.

In‘Georgia and other scuthern states creameries are’ being estab- lished, and there is a good deal of actual work in the dairy business showing itself cn the farms. Shipping Fr. ucts. “In regard to the investigation for ship- ping farm products and transporting them, I gave my attention principally to dairy products, poultry, fruit and the like. In re- gard to special accommodation, I looked to the use of the refrigerating transpd tation could be secured to the coast. next quesiion to be considered is that of the refrigerating apartments in the vessels sail- ing from the gulf ports. “I found that a few lines of vessels had refrigerating arrangeme but they were The macstly of the irregular character. or course, the refrigerator service is worthless unless it is regul My object was prin- cipally to confer with the sieamboat people. on the coast, Galveston, and two port of such products as 1 wished. ‘These Lew ports were Belasco, at the mouth of the B iver in Texas, and Port Arthur. 2 is on the border of Texas and Louis- iana, and mostly settled by the Dutch.

The arrangements were made with only one line, and the trips will probably be fortnightly. There are already exports of sumilar products to Havana and the West Indies. Naturally they will be much larger to Cuba if there was not such tled state of affair: here. The yet to be considered of pi ng facilities and furnishing enough pro- duce.

Ben Tolson, colored, was today sent to jail for eleven months and twenty-nine days for assaulting and striking John Rocker, also colored, November 9. The as- sault occurred at the Cairo stables, where both were employed, and was the outcome of a quarrel the day before, during which Rocker struck Tolson alongside of the head with a club for calling him an of- fensive name. The evening of the 9th instant, as stated by witnesses, Tolson, without any provoca- tion whatever, threw a brick at Rocker with great violence, striking him in the head and inflicting a very , bad wound. Rocker was taken to the Emergency Hos- pital, where it was found{snecessary to trephine his skull. He remained in the hospital two weeks, when he was pro- nounced able to go to his home, but has not yet recovered, and at times ‘suffers severe pains in his head. 01 B Tolson admitted the chargeiiand was un- able to give any excuse for his conduct. Rocker was also tried for #ssaulting Tol- son on the first date mentioned, but the court acquitted him, ° es Assnuult and Battery. Charles Washington, colored, was placed under arrest this afternoon apd ‘ocked up at the fourth precinct police station, charged with assault and battery on Thos.

The Capital Trection Company has com- menced vork on the building located south of the canal and between 32d street and Potomac avenue, fronting Cherry street, whick will be used as a power house for the new electric underground system now being put in place. A force of men is at work on the building converting it into its netv use. It was used as a feed store- house in the days of the horse car line, but since the introduction of the cable has been comparatively idle. A portion of the flooring has been removed and the work of building a boiler room commenced. When completed the boiler room w ji be one of the largest, if not the largest, in the city, and calculated to furnish power for a number cf additional-miles of road if needed. The event to be given by the Georgetown University Glee, Banjo and Mandolin clubs Monday evening promises to be a_great success, beth musicaliy and socially. The list of patronesses comprises many ladies prominent in Washington social life. A va- ried program, suitable for all, has been ar- ranged for the occasion, in which all of the clubs will take an equal part. This is the first public appearance of the clubs this season, and the students have been dili- gently rehearsing for it. A gasoline stove in the one-story brick building at 3350 M street exploded last evening about 8:20 o'clock. The building is occupied by Benjamin Thomas as an oyster saloon and owned by C. C. Glover. Some one notified the engine company, and the members went to the scene. The dam- age to the building and stock is placed at $20. The funeral of F. R.
