Propert¥ Owner Asks for Charity— ~ Wedding at Grace Church—Gen- eral and Personal. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King Street, Bell Telephone No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., January 27, 1898. Mayor Simpson had more than the usual number of cases to dispose of in the police court this morning. Albert Tancil got a little too free with liquor last night and went to a “chocolate festival” at Odd Fel- lows’ Hall, on South Columbus street, where he proceeded to make himself disagreeable. He threw a cup of chocolate across the table and an attempt was made to put him out. Officer Roberts arrived on the scene and placed Tancil under arrest. Later John Scroggins was arrested, but it was found that he was not at fault and was dismissed. Tancil was fined $2.50 for his fun, as was also Robert Hayden, who was summoned as a witness, but who proved to have had a hand in the affair. A Cheeky Tramp. Henry Wilson, a tramp, went to the home of Mr. Jim King on Lee street at an early hour this morning, opened the front door, went into the front hall, locked the door behind him and proceeded to make himself comfortable for a morning nap. Mr. King found him there and sent for a policeman. Officer Ferguson responded and placed Wil- son under arrest, when he became very abusive. Mayor Simpson thought that ten days on the chain gang would relieve him of some of his impudgnce, and he was so sentenced. An Ungrateful Stranger. About ten minutes to 6 o'clock last night a telephone message was received at police headquarters that a strange man was be- having in a disorderly manner at Schwab's restaurant. Lieut. Smith responded and found the man, who said he was from Washington. Lieut. Smith took him to the electric railway station and advised him to return to Washington on the next train. After the lieuterant left the man went to Leadbeater’s drug store, where he was again disorderly, and Officer Atkinson was sent for. Atkinson placed the man under arrest. When taken to police headquarters he became very violent and abusive, and cursed the officers roundly. When searched the sum of $132.45 was found in his pock- ets. In the police court this morning he gave his name as H. B. Sdnds of Washing- ton. The mayor imposed a fine of $5 for disorderly conduct. Other Cases. The other cases disposed of were as fol- lows: Wm. Johnson, arrested by Officer Ferguson for drunk and disorderly conduct, Was sent to the chain gang for ten days. Richard Parker, for disorderly conduct at the Southern depot, was fined $2.50. An Unworthy Applicant. There have been a large number of ap- plications to Overseer of the Poor Shock for assistance, and everything possible has been done to relieve cases of suffering. Sometimes ‘casés occur where the parties making application are found to be un- worthy. Such’ a case occurred yesterday, when a colered-woman named Annie Shep- herd made an appeal for help. Officer Da- vis investigated the case. He found that the woman’ owned the house in which she lives; was the possessor of three cows, a lot of ducks, geese, chickens and several hogs, and On the stove was a pot of bacon and cabbage, steaming hot. On being ask- ed why sh¢ kad applied for help, she re- sponded: ‘jQh, others have got assistance, and I thought I might as well get some as not.” bal Sphinx! Court Organized. By the authority of the National Court, Daughters of Sphinx, Mrs. Gertrude Alex- ander of Chicago, Ill., most worthy grand matron; Illustrious Magnus L.

Attorney Ricks appeared in Judge Kim- ball’s court this morning and made a legat fight in the cese of two colored plano play- ers, lagely employed in the “Division,” who were charged with vagrancy. The prisoners were William Simmons and Matthew Wells, well-dressed young colored men, who made no denial of the charge that they played the piano in disreputable houses. The Simmons case was first tried, and a demand for a jury trial was overruled. Policeman Sears said he had seen Simmons presiding at the instrument while the women danced. Counsel put Simmons on the stand and had him explain to the court that his moth- er has seven children, and he contributed to her support. ceWhat he docs with his money makes no difference,” said Judge Kimball. “He may give it to the poor or put it in the church collection box, and still his conduct would not be excused.” The judge repeated his former holdings that such persons, as well as others who assist in the conduct of the business at disreputable houses, come within the va- ‘ancy law. e Wella is @ Baltimorean. When warned by the police ys returned home, but came back a few ys ago. The defendants were sentenced to ninety days each, in default of $200 security. jeorge Woodward, a servant in one of the houses, was also tried, but as he performed no service in the way of assisting in the entertainment of visitors, he was dis- charged. wkins, Estella Pristine “ Ft hemp gper noe —— TS house on 1ith street, were given sixty each for vagrancy. spector testified that he was passing down Cullinan’s alley the 17th instant, when he was attacked by a vicious dog belonging to the defendant. The animal, he said, took @ piece out of the calf of his leg. Mrs. Quenan claimed that the complainant had mistaken her cousin, Sarah Turpin, for herself, and that therefore she was not preperly the defendant. In reply to questions from Attorney Pey- ton, counsel for Mrs. Quenan, Inspector Whitaker admitted that he might be mis- taken as to the identity of the parties, and as he said all he desired was that the dog should be killed, Judge Scott dismissed the charge, with the provision that the dog would be turned over to the poundmaster today. ——__ In Master Martyn’s Honor.
