William Robinson, a white boy about eighteen y2irs old, found wandering near Anacostia by Policeman Owens, has been turned over to his parents in Baltimore by Sanitary Officer Frank. The boy was about to commence “trampin; and was arrest- ed on suspicion. After hearing the boy's story, Policeman Reagan accompanied him to the sanitary office, where arrangements Were made to send him to his home, which he left weeks ago. He said he had en- deavored to find work, but without success. He gave Jerusalem as his birthplace, and confirmed his story with descriptions of the topography of the city, which were known to be true by persons who have visited it. = Official Orders Issued.

Suit Against Railway Company. Suit at law to recover damages in the sum of $5,000 has been filed by George Frazier against the Baltimore and Poto- mac Ralroad Company. The plaintiff claims that, January 28 last, owing to careless- ness, for which the defendant company Was responsible, he was struck by a rail- read train at 41% street and Virginia avenue southwest and severely injured. E. Hilton Jackson is the attorney for the plaintiff. ———— Declines to Prosecute. William H. Willams, who recently dis- charged a pistol shot at Charles S. Shreve, the real estate dealer, as fully reported at the time, has been released on his personal Fecognizance. Williams withdrew his plea of not guilty to the indictment, charging assault to kill, and pleaded guilty. Chief Justice Bingh: suspended sentence dur- ing good behavior. This action was taken at the instance of the district attorney, who explained that Mr. Shreve did not care to prosecute Wil- liams. SS Must Show Cause. Judge Hagner, presiding in the Probate Court, has signed an order directing Belva A. Lockwood to appear in court, as guard- fen of the minor children of John M. Heck, deceased. She {s required to show cause why ske should not be adjudged in con- tempt for failure to obey an order to pay to the attorney for Rosa C. Breltal $568.08 within fifteen days from March 18, ——_ For Disposal of Trust Funds. R. Ross Perry, trustee, has filed a bill in equity, naming as defendants John Walter and twenty others, asking that some suit- able person be appointed trustee, in lieu of the plaintiff, to whom the latter may be directed to turn over a certain trust fund, amounting to $22,970. Mr. Perry explains that it is by reason of lack of time that he desires to resign his trusteeship. ——— Policemen Cautioned. ‘The District Commissioners have direct- ed that Policemen Martin Brown and M. G. O'Brien, recently charged with being under the influence of Hquor, be cautioned against taking drinks of Mquor in a public way. “If,” say Commissioners, “it is Proper for them to have It, it will be given them at the station or at the hospital.” "SONS OF VETERANS MEK, Lincoln Camp, No, 2, Tra Busi- “ mess and Receives Visit ‘The last reguldr meeting of Lincoln Camp, No. 2, Sons of Veterans, Ui8.A.,, at its hall, northwest corner of 5th and G streets northwest, was an enthusiastic one, with Capt. Robert E. Doyle in command. It was visited by Commander Hazer and Quartermaster Thornton of Lincoln Post, No. 3, G.A.R., accompanied by Senior Vice Department Commender Chase and Past Junior Vice Department Commander Mc- Cabe, who made patriotic speeches. Com- rade McCabe urged particularly the duty of avenging the deaths of the 266 sailors killed by Spanish treachery at Havana, and spoke in favor of providing for imme- diate freedom of Cuba. Comrade Whittemore, 2s chairman of the committee to which the matter had been referred, read a long and elaborate report in favor of the establishment at Washing- ten of a national sons of veterans’ military college, which was enthusiastically received by the camp and unanimously adopted. The name of William Howard Mills was unanimously placed upon the roll of honor of the camp, he having one week ago been elected an honorary member of the Lincoln Ladies’ Aid Society, No. 1, auxiliary to the camp. He stated his appreciation of the honors conferred and pledged himself to do all in his power to aid both organiza- tions. Referring to a statement published in the Washington papers Friday, the Ist irstant, that last Monday he called upon Adjt. Gen. Corbin of the army and Chief Clerk Tweedale of the War Department. in regard to proposed enlistments, both said it had been under considera- tion, but no decision rendered. The state- ment referred to was quoted to the effect that “all of the volunteer companies which are being organized here, with the hope of being drafted into active service, in case of war, will have to go through the chan- nel of the National Guard, it having been so decided by the War Department.” Major Mills then called upon Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn, who prompt- ly said no such decision had been or would be made. Upon the plans for the Presi- cent’s Own, or ist United States Volun- teers, being mentioned, the secretary satd he was fully informed in the matter, and highly approved of ft. He said, further, that the National Gvard of the District was on the same footing as the National Guards of the state, all being militia, which could not be ordered out of the country without their consert, nor held by the United States in service for more than nine months withcut their consent. He said also, in case of war, if the pro- ‘sed regiment were quickly raised and of- ered to the government, it would be as speedily accepted as any volunteer organ- ization could be, if not sooner. Major Mills advised the Sons of Veterans not to relax their efforts in the slightest degree, as the plan for the regiment had the cordial sympathy of the government officials, and would undoubtedly be suc- cessful. The camp was then struck, and Lincoln Camp Company proceeded to drill in the Presence of a number of the Ladies’ Aid Society, who had come in to witness the drill and encourage the young men in their enterprise of organizing for the defense of the national honor. The Lincoln Ladies’ Aid Society will hold a reception and dance at Grand Army Hall the evening of the 27th instant to raise money for other patriotic purposes. ——_—>__ AUTOMATIC COUPLERS. Discovery of Device Which is Said to Be Perfect. For the past fifteen years, but especially since the adjournment of the conference recently held in this elty-on the subject of automatic couplers, between the repre- sentatives of most of the leading railroad companies throughout the United States and the interstate commerce commission, the mechanical departments of the rail- Way companies have been searching for an automatic coupler for air brakes, which would comply with the law passed some yeers ago by Congress. The Southern Railway Company has, it is asserted, at last found a device which not only couples the cars, but uncouples them with equal facility. ‘This device is a combination of air and steam couplers, and is intended to couple automatically the air and steam hose connections on pas- senger cars or the air hose on freight cars. Severe tests to which the device has been subjected prove that thus far it 1s exactly what it purports to be. One great ad- vantage which the coupler possesses 1s that no‘one has to touch it. When the cars come together the air signal and steam hose all couple instantly and_ perfectly. There is no screwing together by hand or adjusting. There is no leak, and when it is desired to uncouple, the ordinary car coupling being released, the cars pull apart and the device is not strained in the least. It 1s expected that the adoption of this rew device will save the Southern Rail- way Company an expense of many thous- ands of dollars per year. ithout attempt- ing to go into a detailed explanation of it, it may be said that the attachment fs fitted underneath the car coupler, of whatever make. As the cars come together a tongue on each attachment attaches the other, a spring is forced open, two heads with parallel surfaces, containing the orifices leading to the air and steam pipes, come together and are heid by a head and slot under pressure of a stiff spring. A perfect adjustment is made, and the air, signal and steam connections are completely coupled. There are no complicated parts, nothing to get out of order, nothing to wear and no strain on any part to cause @ break. The merits of the coupler are that it re- quires no attention from trainmen, saves time in coupling, removes an element of danger from the work of the employes, and last, most important of all, in an eco- nomic sense, saves money by practically dispensing with the use of hose. If the cars break apart the air uncouples with- out breaking any part of the attachment. If, for any reason, the alr couples and the cars do not, the air device suffers noth- ing when the cars pull apart, and it will couple again when the cars come together. Placed with mechanical precision under the car coupler, the impact is horne by the buffers above, and the air attachment be- low gets only sufficient contact to make a coupling. —_—_e—_—_. Corps Society Elects Officers. At a meeting Saturday night of the Fifth Corps Soclety, Army of the Potomac, offi- cers wer2 elected as follows: Dr. James F. Raub, president; W. J. Johnston, vice pres- ident first division; Arthur Hendricks, vice president second division; W. Howard Gib- son, vice president third division; C. A. Stevens, secretary and tr2asurer; Major W.

Saturday evening last two representa- tives from each class of the college depart- ment, Columbian University, met at the home of Miss Wescott to appoint editors and draw up a plan for a college annual. The year book {fs to be called the Colum- biad, and promises to depict the student life of the college in a fresh, bright, origi- nal way. The book will be full of pen and ink illustrations, pictures of clubs and Ickes. After the meeting a toast was dtunk to a Prosperity and success of the an- nv: The board of editors is as follow: - ter-in-chief, Miss Edna R.

The con- ference is further expeeted to serve to es- tablish the benefits of co-operation among charitable organizations and to be useful in many ways to every section of the country. The program, as arranged, provides for the discussion of the following subject “Abuse of Medical Charities, tion and State Migration,’ “Laws of “Municipal and County Chari- ties” (including public outdoor relief), “‘Or- ganization of Charities,” ‘Politics in Chari- ties and Penal Institutions,” “Duty of the State to inquent Children,” “Duty of the State to Dependent Children” and “The Prevention of Feeble-mindedness From a& Legal and Moral Standpoint.” The subjects have been assigned to va- ricus committees, composed of well-known gentlemen in different parts of the country, including such prominent names as John Glenn of Baltimore, Professor C. R. Hen- derson of Chicago, Dr. James C. Carson of Syracuse, N. Y.; Peter Caldwell of Louts- ville, Ky.; Dr. Steven Smith and Homer Folks of New York. Mr. William R. Stewart of New York, president of the conference and president of the New York state board of charities, will call the convention to order, and to all persons, protestants and Catholics alike, who take an interest in the work of relieving distress and misfortune, a cordial invitation to be present has been extended. The first national conference of charities and corrections was held in New York in 3673. The last session was held in To- ronto, Canada, when delegates from twen- ty-seven different states were present. ——_—.—__ Failed in His Duty. Commissioner Wight, who has immediate charge of the fire and police departments, has reached the conclusion, after hearing the statements of all concerned, that Po- liceman Kenny did not properly perform his duty at the Riley fire in South Wash- ington last week. It will be recalled that a Mr. Javins was accused by the firemen of driving over their hose, and that the Policeman refused to make an arrest, on the ground, as he stated, he did not wit- ness the commission of the offense, and therefore, was not authorized to interfere; also that he afterward made the arrest without a warrant. Mr. Wight says: “This vascillating way of doing, probably had a tendency of ex- citing the crowd and increasing the trouble. Officers should understand exactly what their duties are on such occasions, and should perform them fearlessly, without being influenced by what is said by the crowd of bystanders. It should be espe- clally understood by all officers that on the occasion of a fire the firemen are to be abundantly protected in the discharge of their duties.” ————_. BASE BALL. The game at National Park Saturday af- ternoon between the Montreal and Wash- ington clubs resulted in favor of the for- mer by 11 to 4. Two surprises were on tap, the poor work of Winnie Mercer and the fine work of Pitcher Hughes of the visit- ing team. Mercer, through bases on balls and hitting batsmen, allowed the Canucks a lead of sevea runs, and this handicap gave them sc much confidence that they could not be headed. Then Pitcher Hughes took the direct opposite course, keeping cool under adverse circumstances and hold- ing the Senators down to six hits in the nine innings, and was accorded perfect support by the men back of him, not an error being placed against the team. In the sixth inning the Montreals figured in a sensational, lucky play that nipped in the bud what looked like a substantial rally by the home club. Two men were on bases with no one out. Leahy, at second, tried to steal third, and the Canucks’ third base- man broke for that bag to catch him. At the same time Charley Farrell sent a line drive at the third bag that would have been good for two bases under ordinary circumstances, but the sphere went directly into the hands of Henry. A double play resulted and the battle was over, as the Senators refused to come again. ‘Too much praise cannot be given to Pitcher Hughes for his fine work, and this young man will be kept in view for the rest of th> season by more than one club manager in the big league. The Senators, dressed to perfection and carrying new grips, gathered at the 6th street depot yesterday afternoon, and at 3:46 left for Richmond, where a game with the club of that city will be played this afternoon. The Richmond Blue Birda are putting up a great game just now, having defeated the Boston club for the second time on Saturday. Mercer, Amole and Din- neen will do the twirling for the Senators today. ‘Tomorrow afternoon the Mount St. Mary's team will cross bats with the Sena- tors at National Park, game being called at 4: The Mount St. Mary’s team is a stfong one, its pitcher especially being touted as a wonder, as he struck out eigh- teen of the Hagerstown club in a recent game. It is expected that Reitz; McHale and Wagner will arrive in time to par- ticipate in tomorrow's game. The St. Louis and Milwaukee clubs es- tablished a record for themselves yester- Gay in the mound city, twenty innings be- ing played before victory perched on the banners of Tim. Hurst’s crew, the score being 12 to 11 in their favor. Lave Cross made the winning run in the twentieth in- ning. Clarence Proctor, the local player, re- celved a telegram from Ted Sullivan yes- terday, saying transportation had been sent him, and that he should leave at once for Dubuque, Sullivan “renigged” on this player after receiving letters of {nquiry from several magnates who were anxious to take Proctor off his hands. Pitchers Weyhing, Donovan, Mahaffey, and Catcher Snyder remain in Washington and will practice by themselves at the park today. Bert Myers accompanied the Senators to Richmond, and will cover the third bag for them today. The local management are still endeavoring to secure Bert for the Senators,. but Connie Mack remains obdur- ate. The next few days will settle Myers’ fate. He would certainly strengthen the Washington club. Richmond's Atlantic League team defeat- ed the Boston team again Saturday. The Atlantic Leaguers were shut out up to the ninth faning, when they hammered out four runs and won. The Philadelphia club has filed with President Young the signed acknowledg- ment of its players of the service of the new rules for the suppression of obscene, indecent and vulgar language upon the ball field. This is the first acknowledgment that has been received by President Young. ae CONDENSED LOCALS, The District Commissioners have revoked the commission of B. R. Foley as an ad- ditional private on the police force, and appointed C. Cox as an additional private for three years, for duty with the Adams Exoress Company. The District Commissioners have granted @ steam engineer’s license of the first class ot M. F. Luttrell. Private W. E. Jones of the District fire department, having been found guilty of being absent without leave, Commissioner Wight has approved the recommendation that he be fined $10.

Y, RESULTS OF “WAR. Effect ef Declaration of Bostilities om Raiwap Tramc, - The rallway companies of the-country, it is claimed, in commomwith the generality of the American people, are opposed-to & declaration of war, notwithstanding the increase of reventes which would result, ‘unless the nationad honer can only be main- tained by war. Referring to the added business to rail- road which a national conflict would in- sure, a vice presi@erit’ of one @f the princi- pal lines running thto Washingtoh said to a Star reporter: a “To the Southern railroad war would mean stimulated traffe, and the increased business has already been felt. Such sys- tems as the Southern railway, the Louis- ville and Nashville, the Illinois Centrat and the Plant system would probably be called on to move great quantities of munitions of war and coal, as well as troops. The Central of Georgia and the Atlantic Coast Line would play important parts and the Seaboard Air Line would probably come in for a share. “War would stimulate the movement of all supplies and products. The people will continue to be consumers, while the army and navy will become abriormal consumers, and about everything that is consumed and carried now would be continued to be con- sumed and carried in case of war and cer- tain items would show a very large in- crease in these particulars. “During the war between the states the railroads of the country enjoyed a pros- perity they had never dreamed of before, and that was an internal war, where our lives and property were often in danger of destruction. In a war with Spain there weuld be no fear of the paralysis of great internal lines of traffice and travel as there was then. The increase of freight and passenger traffice would probably be enormous, and the movement from the west to the seacoast would doubtless be unprecedented, while the profits of the road would be swelled correspondingly.” ——— ee OLD ROCKVILLE PIKE. Funds Authorized to Build a Mac- adamized Road. By an act passed by the Maryland legis- lature during the session just ended, the county commissioners of Montgomery county are authorized to issue bonds to the amount of $25,000, and to use the pro- ceeds in transforming the old Rockville pike into a macadamized road. According to the provisions of this act, the county is Hable for three-fifths of the total loan and Bethesda and Rockville for the re- mainder. The new read will extend from the District line, at the junction of the Glen Echo and the Georgetown and Tenleytown railroads, above Tenleytown, to Rockville, @ distance of about ten miles. It is under- Stood that errangements will be made at once to place the bonds and to begin the work. This improvement is regarded by the residents throughout that locality as one of great importance, for the reason it will better the present facilities of com- munication with this city. Washington is the market for a great deal of the produce raised in that section, and the farmers and others who drive to the clty have long felt the necessity for better roads. It is believed that when what is known as the Proposed change is made, it will result in @ saving of time and money. ——__.
