Citizens Prefer Charges Against School Children—Holiday Enter- tainment—General News. The police of Georgetown made two raids on houses in this section ef the city which were alleged to be disorderly places, and a number of people were placed under ar- rest. At 7 o'clock this morning Police- men Brown and Lohman raided the house occupied by James Tucker, aged thirty- nine years, at 2077 324 street. accused of keeping a disorderly house. His wife, Mary Tucker, aged thirty-six, and their daughter, Vana Tucker, aged nineteen, were also taken along and lock- ed up as vagrants. Tucker is the lineman, a white man, who was injured some time ago on K street by a falling telegraph pole, and who, it was thought, would lose both lower limbs. He recovered, however, though the family, it is said, became ob- jects of charity. Considerable complaint had been made of the character of the Pace, it is understood, and the police swore out the warrant for the raid. The second raid was made last evening shortiy after 9 o’clock by Policemen Ma- her, Saunders, Connor and Pratt, under Sergt. Haney, of the house of Mary Terry, colored, which is located at 2726 Rock court, between 27th and 2Sth streets, near the Rock Creck dump. There were some lively domgs at the house last evening, it is understood. Two wagon loads of pris- oners were secured, all charged wjth va- srancy, ed, as di while the proprietress was charg- in the other case, with keeping a house.

Residents about 33d and O streets are complaining of annoyances to which they are subjected. The walls of their houses are daily chalked with crayon, it is said, taken presumably from the school rooms. Day after day the servants and mistresses are compelled to take out washing pans, sporges and brushes to eliminate the marks. It is also complained that the girls and boys sit upon the porches of the houses in the neighborhood of the school, and that they scatter refuse paper about. The residents hesitate to make the com- plaints personal, but say the school au- thorities should take the matter in hand. The chalk mark nuisance is the most an- noying, however. : Brevities. A dance was given last evening at Lin- thicum Hall by the O. T. Club. It was at- tended by a large number of young people. The music was good, and the dance war kept up until quite late. Michael O'Leary, a white man, while walking on the streets, slipped on the icy surface near the corner of 28th and Dum- barton avenue last evening. He sustained and was taken to the was & 10n. The Christmas entertainment of the Sun- day school of the Dumbarton Avenue M. E. Church will be held at Linthicum Hall Friday evening at 7 o'clock. The ser will be appropriate to the occasion. E person attending is requested to bring a donation of provisions of some sort to be distributed among the needy poor. The black maria carried down nineteen prisoners to the Police Court from No. 7 station this morning, the largest number for several inonths. —_—>—_—_ TRIES TO KILL HIMSELF. Harry Daley Swallows a Dose of Car- belie Acid. Harry J. Daley, a bartender, who is about twenty-three years old, and well Known in Northeast Washingten, attempted suicide last night about 9 o'clock by swal- lowing carbolic acid. He was on 9th street northwest between F and G streets with his wife at the time he drank the poison, and the woman's screams brought prompt relief, which resulted in saving the man’s life. Lack of work and domestic trouble, fol- lowing dissipation, it 1s said, caused the young man to attempt self-destruction. He became unable to support his wife and the latter concluded she would support herself. He returned to the home of his parents“io live. Although separated, so far as bed and board were concerned, the husband and wife were on gcod terms, and last night he called for her and they went out together for a walk. He had been more despondent than usual, and finally resolved to end nis earthly career. When his wife screamed pedestrians v-ent to her aid and took her husband to Williams’ drug store and from there to the hospital. His wife remained at the hospital until her husband was pro- nounced out of danger. FOR HER CHILDREN’S SAKE. Woman’s Explanation of Absence of Christmas Gifts. Mrs. Kate Schlosser, the woman whe re- ported to the police last week that she had been robbed of $35 by two colored men on R street northwest between 7th ard Sth streets, called on Inspector Mat- tingly this morning and admitted that there was no truth in the report. Her rea- son for claiming she had been robbed of the money was that she had promised her children some presents for Christmas, and teing without money she had to invent scme excuse. This confession was made after Detectives Lacey and Weedon had demanded the particulars in the course of their investigation of the case. —_ 5 PRODUCE DEALER FINED. Convicted of Selling a Manufactared Compound as Lard. William Warfield, a produce dealer, was teday fined $10 by Judge Kimball for sell- ing composition of beef stearin and’ cot- ton-seed oil under the name of lard. The fine was paid. The case was taken to court on com- plaint of Prof. John B. Hird of the health department. Prof. Hird stated that, hav- ing had his suspicions aroused, he sent Mr. Isaac Pinkney of his office to purchase @ pound of the alleged lard, which the lat- ter did for the advertised price, 7 cents. The analysis, Prof. Hird sald, showed that the article did not contain the least trace of pork and was made, as stated, of beef stearin and cotton-seed ofl. Mr. Warfield claimed that he told Mr. Pinkney. when he purchased the article that it was a compound, but Mr. Pinkney denied this. On imposing the fine Judge Kimball cen- sured Mr. Warfield severely for selling an impure article, and said if the latter was again convicted of a similar offense before him the fine would be much heavier. > = Thirty Dol or Three Months. Frank R. FE ‘is, colored, who was con- victed last week in the Police Court of ob- taining $1.50 by means of false pretenses from Josephus Hammon, also colored, was to- day fined $30 by Judge Kimball. In de- fault 9f payment Harris went to jail for three months. : ——— = Morse Fell With Him. Warren Gray, a young man who lives at 1225 Pennsylvania avenue southeast, met with s painful accident while horseback riding yesterday.
