EVIDENCE FOR PROSECUTION ALL IN Counsel for Defense Introduces Testimony in Sur-Rebuttal. THE PROGRESS TODAY Se Another week seems likely to be spent in trying Dennis Canty for murder. It will take today and Tuesday to wind up the evi- denc>, submit end argue the prayers, and the remaining three days very probably will be used in the arguments. Fortunately for everybody concerned the weather has remained cool, so that judg3, jury, counsel and defendant have escaped seme of the ills usually attending trials at this perlod of the year. Nevertheless very- body seems to be pretty well fagged out, and the members of the jury loox longingly from time to time upon the busy straet be- yond the cburt room windows. Canty bears the ordeal remarkably well, ard although scmewhat “bleached out” by confinement, does not give evidence of any extraordinary nervousness. His wife is at Ris side every dey, and with one hand she constantly fers her husband, whlie the other occasionally strays over on the arm ot his chair, there to be lightly met by a tovch from his left hand. She is a quiet woman, evicently, but her belief in her husband's innocence appears very strong, for her contempt for witnesses who testify against him often cannot be concealed from visible expression in her face. His former partner, Van Senden, and his other rela- tives, as well, keep their vigil unceasingly, and about them all there is an air of con- fidence that Canty will not suffer the law's penalty for the killing of Rye. The government closed its evidence today within an hour after the opening of court, and the defense at once began the offering of testimony in sur-rebuttal. An Absent Witness. In opening this morning, Mr. Davis stated that a witness, Charles Boettzer, who had testified in chief, but who is wanted by him in rebuttal, cannot be found. Officers had been searching for several days and final- ly located him in Virginia, too late to have him here today. George H. Chamberlin, the first witness, testified that in 1890, and also In 1893, he was shipping clerk for Smith & Wesson, the weapon makers. 0 you recognize the revolver before you?" asked Mr. Davis. Clerk Gatley handed the witness the blu- ish, ugly-looking weapon with which Canty killed Rye. Chamberlin took it, turned it upside down, pried back the trigger, peered into the chambers, carefully and ‘silently scanned every point about it. “It is a Smith & Wesson,” said he. What is the number?” asked “Mr. Davis. “No. 258568," replied the witness. Chamberlin then testified, after examin- ing the firm’s records of 1890, which he brought with him, that revolver No. 25 d been sold and shipped to the firm.of BE. K. Tryen & Co. of Philadelphia. He has no trace of it beyond. Cross-examined by Mr. Worthington, the witness said all of his firm’s revolvers are numbered. Mr. Davis stated that he had expected a representative from E. K. Tryon & Co. to be present today, but that through a mis- apprehension he had not appeared. It was immaterial, however, as he has learned that the firm ne no record of the disposal of the revolve “That is ail” said Mr. Davis, seating himself, and so closing evidence for the government. Moves to Strike Out Testimony. “Before proceeding further, your honor,” said Mr. Worthington, “I shall move to strike out of the record all the evidence of Pistel and Dobbins and of Moylan, so far as it relates to the all2ged borrowing of a pis- tol for Canty.” Mr. Davis resisted, his argument being that it is a fair presumption from the testi- mony of these three men that Canty pro cured his weapon with the aid of Moylan, and that being so, it should be allowed to be given such weight as the jury deems He regards it also as entirely in of rebuttal evidence. ntention is that all of Moylan's » far as it relates to the attempt row a pistol, should not be stricken uired Justice Cole. replied the prosecutor. It is idle rubbish of gossip with which the district attorney is seeking te convict this defendant,” interjected Mr. Worthing- ton. ‘My brother,” said Mr. Davis in any- ng but an affectionate way, glancing to- ward Mr. Worthington, seeking to strike out a very significant incident us to which an unwilling witness shielded him- self in his testimony behind ‘I don’t re- member.’ Mr. Davis, do you mean to say that you ‘ed to prov that Canty was there Dobbins?” asked Mr. Worthington. ‘Not in the yard, nor in the store, but,” and here the district attorney slowed up and continued in a semi-solemn way, “I offered to prove that at the time Dobbins and Moylan were in the yard Canty was standing in front of the building.” Canty, who had been intently: watching Mr. Davis, smiled very broadly as the words came out. Then he began twirling his mustache in the unconcerned manner usual to him during the arguments of counsel Justice Cole ruled against th2 district at- torney and the evidence will not be permit- ted to remain in the record. Mr. Worthington then sought to have the bootblack Frye, an eye witness of the shooting, put on the stand, but he could not be found about the court. Counsel stated that had been around Friday and and he could not understand why Called in Sur-Rebuttal. Henry D. Caton, an employe of the post officz, was called in sur-rebuttal by Mr. Worthington and asked if he had seen Keating, the deaf witness, the day of the shooting. The prosecutor objected. “It will be argued, perhaps,” said Mr. Worthington, “that Keating was bribed or in some way induc2d to manufacture his story. And I claim the right, therefore, to show by this witness that Keating on two separate occasions that day told Mr. and Mrs. Caton of the evidence he would give on the stand.” A lull in the proceedings followed, during which court attaches brought in stacks of law books, authorities on the subject, and 1 fer both sides, behind these ponder- put themselves in de- long argument follow- ed, as the point was considered vital by the defense. Mr. Worthington led off by citing numerous cases from Maryland and other states. Pierre Waggaman, pered into Mr. point. witness, your honor,” sald the lat- anation, “wishes to speak with one of the jurors upon a business matter. I have no objection if Mr. Davis has none.” There being no protest, Mr. Waggaman went over to the juror and held a whis- pered conversation with him lasting a min- ute. It was probably the first word spoken fensive attitude. A in bicycle costume, Werthington’s ear at to any of the jury by an outsider since the trial began, over three weeks ago, but it Was not an extraordinary circumstance, al- though it excited great curiosity in’ the court room. An Incident of Saturday. An incident occurred after The Star's report closed Saturday last which flus- trates the bitter feeling between counsel that has marked the progress of the trial. In arguing as to the propriéty of ques- tioning Witness Dobbins with regard to Moylan’s words to him when trying to borrow a revolver, Mr. Davis strongly ac- cused Moylan of having aided Canty in his purpose to kill Rye and was the first to render him a friengi; act after the shoot- ing. ‘I am not, however, alleging any con- spiracy,” said he. Mr. Worthington jumped up and protest- ed that Mr. Davis had no right to claim that the first friendly act toward Canty after — shooting was done by Moylan. He said that the district attorney nad pre- THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, JUNE 6, 1898-12 wg ok te Re vented the defensé from bringing out @vi- dence to the contrary. A Heated Discussion. “T characterize as outrageous, es unpro- fessional, as in the highest degree tmprop- er, and Mr. Worthington knows it as a lawyer and as a man for him to make such assertions. He ought to be ashamed of himself,” cried Mr. Davis. “If he had said that it was the first friendly act proved in evidence I should not have objected,” hotly rejoined Mr. Worthington. “I ask you on your word of honor as a man if you did not understand me that way?" ejaculated Mr. Davis. “I did not.” “Then all I can say is you have wasted your whole professional Mfe. Unless the counsel for the defense has slipped in his intellect he must have so understood me.” Mr. Worthington continued his denials under his breath, and for a minute Mr. Davis cried several time: “I denounce him! I denounce him? The court sustained, however, the objec- tion of counsel for the defense. . W. Ernst, a photographer, at one time in Pawnbroker Grose’s employ, testified that in examining “the pawnshop books Friday with Detective Proctor he did not find the original sales book. Cluskey Cromwell, a reporter for The Star, testified that he had interviewed Can- ty after the homicide, and his report of it as published that day was substantially correct. Evidence given by Mrs. Ella Watkins, Harry Williams, George W. Gilmer, jr. Paul Vincent and James McGowan wen to show that Rye was unarmed and that a knife was not seen or heard of by these eyewitnesses of the homicide. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Death of Rev, William 8, Hayes, 8. J., at Georgetown University Infirmary. Special Services in Churches Yester- day—Two Accidents Reported— General and Personal News. Rey. William 8. Hayes, 8. J., died of Bright's disease, Friday morning at 4 o'clock at thé infirmary at Georgetown University. His funeral was held Satur- day aftern+cn, the interment being at the Jesuit burying ground attached to the un!- versity. The deceased was not connected with Georgetown University as a member of the faculty, his object in coming to the city being to benefit his health. Rev. Father Hayes was born February 12, 1852, at Charlestown, Mass. He enter- ed the Jesuit order August 5, 1876, and re- n.ained a member until his death. As a scholastic he taught at St. Francis Xavier College, in New York city, and at Holy Cross College. After his ordination he was sent as a teacher to Boston College. At ene time he was temporarily connected with one of the churches at Providence, R. I. Ever since his ordination he had been in poor health and when his general condition became such that he was unable for active work, he was sent to George- town University in the hope that the change of air might benefit him. He came here last October, remaining ever since. ‘The funeral was attended by two brothers of the deceased, who came on from Bostou. Sunday Services. Trinity Sunday, the patronal feast, was appropriately celebrated yesterday at Trinity Catholic Church at the late mass, which was sung by the pastor. The ser- mon was delivered by Rev. Father Pardow. His text was taken from the gospel of the day, and his remarks were well delivered. Under the auspices of the Woman's Home Missionary Society, Mrs. 8, L. Bieler occupied the pulpit last night at the Dumbarten Avenue M. E. Church, and spoke at length on Alaska. Two Wheelmen Collide. Out of the large number of people who went awheel or drove out on the Conduit road, yesterday, only one accident came to the attention of the police. The victim was Samuel Basmann, aged twenty-three years, who collided with another wheel and was thrown to the ground with con- siderable force. The other rider escaped vninjured. Basmann sustained several severe cuts and bruises on the head. The patrol wagon from No. 7 precinct summoned, and the injured wheel Was taken to his home at 604 10th street northwest. Wagon Damaged, Bender Wrecked. There was a collision Saturday after- noon at the corner of 20th street and Penn- sylvania avenue, between a single horse vehicle and one of the electric trains of the Capital Traction Company. The vehicle was a delivery wagon of the To-Kalon Wine Company, and while coming dow 29th street, was run In by train No. The wagon was damaged to some extent, while the fender on the car was entirely wrecked. Paper of Old Date. Mr. Charles A. Peyne of 3220 O strect, while looking over some old papers in his mother's possessions, discovered a perfect copy of The Evening Star, bearing the date of October 23, 1854. The paper is quite small in size, having only six columns to the page and only four pages. The only Georgetown advertisement in the paper was that of Arny & Shinn, who formerly were in business at 20th and ee streets, and by whom Mr. Samuel . Palmer was employed. Briefs, The annual commencement of George- town University will take place this year at Gaston hall, June 22. The remains of Buel B. Chase, a veteran of the late war, who d'cd last Saturday in Washington, were conveyed through Georgetown today on the way to Arling- ton National Cemetery, where the inter- ment was made with military honors. —_>—_—_ BODY WILL BE CREMATED. Arrangements Made for Disposing of Richard Fusscll’s Remains, ‘The remains of Richard T. Fussell, presi- dent of the Jacob Fussell Company of this city, who committed suicide in Alexandria Saturday, as stated in The Evening Star, will be brought to Washington Wednesday morning and cremated at Lee’s..cremato- rium, 382 Pennsylvania avenue northwest. The funeral will take place at 10:30 o'clock the same morning, but there will be no formal ceremonies attending. Mr. M. T. Fussell, a brother of the deceased, arrived in the city yesterday to make the necessary arrangements. Mr. Jacob Fus- sell, his father, has also arrived from New York, while Miss Annie Fussell, his daugh- ter, Who lives with her grandmother at Newark, N. J., came over from that city yesterday afternoon. ——>__. EXCURSIONS, The Washington Saengerbund, the well- known and popular German Singing So- ciety of the city, had its annual outing at River View yesterday. Over 1,800 of the friends of the organization made the trip, and all had a most pleasant day. The committee, of which Mr. A. F. Joriss was chairman, had spared no pains to make the affair a success. The vocal music by the local German musical societies and the instrumental selections by the River View Orchestra were excellent. The bowling contests were well played and fine scores were made, and the various attractions at the View also added to the pleasure of all. _ Brick dwelling on 3d near E st. n.w. will be sold by trustees tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock, at auction.” Very desirable tors a business man. See advt. Regulation of Steam Engineering. In reporting to Senator McMillan, chair- man of the Senate District committee, on House bill 9693, to regulate steam engineer- ing and the inspection of stationary en- gines and boliers in the District, the Dis- trict Commissioners recommend that the annual salary of the inspector of boilers should be fixed at $2,000. They also recom- mend that the District furnish the testing plant and ee of transportation, instead of requiring the inspector to furnish them. RIGHT *T@ BOYCOTT An Important Oafe Phat Will Prob- ably Decidesthe Question: A VOLUMINQS. DOCUMENT Details of the 1Criminal Charges Against Local Knights of Labor. AN EARLY TRIAL EXPECTED Stephen A. Clements, William T. Gosnell, James Mclver and James F. O'Meara, in- dicted with Joseph B, Fenton, Thomas P. O'Day, Charles A. Maidens, John L. Neeb, Hugh Digney, “Michael A. Cuff and Alonzo M. Lawson for conspiracy to injure the business of Charles C. Walter, were brought into Criminal Court No. 2 by Dep- uty Marshal P. F. Cusick this morning and admitted to bail in the sum of $500 each by Justice Bradley. The sureties were Messrs. Wm. E. Carr and J. D. O'Meara. The importance of the case is regarded as being so great that efforts will be made to have it brought to early trial. The whole question of the legality of the system of boycott will be brought up for settlement, as the indictment has been drawn with that view and the final adjudication of the case wiH doubtless settle-the momentous con- troversy that has been waged all over the country during the past few years. A Voluminous Document. The indictment under which the parties named will be tried ts a voluminous one, comprising twenty typewritten pages. It recites that Charles C. Walter had been engaged in this city in the business of deal- ing in and repairing wagons and carriages for the past five years under the name of William Walters’ Son, and that his entire means, amounting to over $25,000, were in- vested therein. It declares that for three years preceding the time of the commission by the parties indicted of the offenses al- leged in the indictment Walter enjoyed a large patronage from the public and em- ployed from twenty to twenty-five work- men, but that since the commission ef the alleged offense and by reason of the threats, acts and interference of the i dicted parties many persons, firms and cor- Porations doing business in this city, Saeed them Abraham Lisner, Charles Jacobsen, James EK. Berry, Benjamin F. Shaw, W. M. Galt & Co., Lansburgh & Bro., the Washington Brewery Co., the Car. Heu- rich Brewing Co., the Bergner & Engel Brewing Co. and the Christian Moerlein Brewing Co., “‘who were regular customers and patrons of the said Walter in his said trade and business,” says the indictment, “as well as many other persons, firms and corporations to the grand jurors aforesaid unknown, have refrained and ceased pur- chasing from, employing or dealing in any manner with the said Walter. in his said trade and business, -being deterred there- from by the fear of:injurious consequences to themselves in theirsnespective business pursuits and occupations, if they continued as before, and notwithstanding the said of- fense, threats, acts and interference of the sald Fenton and his said associates to pur- chase from, employ and deal with the said Walter in his said trade and business; and that by reason of the premises last afore- said, the said trade:and business of him, the said Walter,» ‘has been greatly re- stricted, embarrassed, »obstructed, injured and diminished, aud othe profits thereof greatly reduced.” The Knights of:Lahor Deseribed. The indictment then goes on to recite the existence throughout the United States of an organization knewn as the Knights of Labor, comprising’ 500,000 members, of whom 10,000 were’ residents of the District of Columbia,’ who are pledged to. the sup- port ofthe principles’ of the organization set forth in the articles and ruies published and printed by the authority of the order, under the title of “Constitution of the Gen- eral Assembly, and for State, National Trade, District and Local Assemblies of the Knights of Labor,” in which it is set forth that the order was formed “for the pur- pose of organizing, educating and direct- ing the power of the industrial masses.” Reciting that local assemblies. have been grouped together with reference to the re- spective eccupations and trades of their members, the indictment states that among such local assemblies in the District of Columbia is one called Local Assembly No. , composed of workmen pursuing the several branches of wagon and carriage making and repairing, and that there is also another branch of the K. of L. in the District known as District Assembly No. 66, K. of L., composed cf delegates from each of the local assemblies in the District. Walter Had an Agreement. For three years previous to the alleged offerse of Fenton and his associates the indictment declares that Walter, in pur- suance with an agreement entered into be- tween him and the two assemblies men- tioned, had employed no other than a mem- ber of Local Assembly No. 8456 in the manufacturing and repairing part of his business,and has executed in the District all work “ordered to be built to order’ by his patrons, and has in all other respects com- Plied in good faith with his agreement. Authority Assumed Over Tradesmen. Proceeding the indictment recites that certain committees of the District Assem- bly and local assemblies, one called a court and the other an executive board, ‘claim and exercise the right on behalf of the members of said order, among other things, to denominate the persons, firms and cor- porations for whom only the members of said order shall work in the said District of Columbia, and to regulate and determine on behalf of said order the rate of wages to be paid to such last mentioned members who should be permitted to work, and to We- cree accordingly and toenforcea compliance with any such decree on the part of such last mentioned members under penalty of fine, sugpension or expulsion from said or- der; and also claim and exercise the right on benalf of said order to limit and re- strict the business dealings of persons, firms and corporations trading in the Dis- trict of Columbia by demanding and re- quiring that their purchases of stock, ma- terial and supplies shall be made of such others only, in and out of the safd District of Columbja, as they, the said last men- tioned assemblies and executive boards or committees, should approve, and to declare particular employers #f workmen in the District of Columbfa,sirrespective.of ari against even the opinions; wishes and de- sires of such workrem in the premises ‘o be ‘unfair’ and ‘unfair to organized labor’ and ‘the keepers ofunfair shops’ in case of any non-compliance by such employers last aforesaid with:demands and require- ments, whether reasonable and lawful, or unreasonable andmunlawful, made by the said District Assembly; the said last men- tioned local assembliesi and the said execu- tive boards or committees upon such em- ployers aforesaid.” The indictment declares that the mean- ing and intention of declaring employers “unfair” is to threaten them with the {ll- will and hostility of/all the members of the order in the Distrieti of Columbia, and with the use of all of the:power and influence of the order and its members within and with- out the District agginst such employers in their respective putsuits and occupations. The Contract for Wagons. ‘The indictment then recites that a_con- tract was entered into by Walter and Frederick Springman by which Walter was to furnish Springman five newspaper delivery wagons constructed by the Key- stone Wagon Company of Reading, Pa., and that Springman knew the wagons were ot to be built by Walter, but procured from the company in question. It then re- cites the action of L. A. 3456 at a meeting held February 28, 1898, declaring Walter unfair, and quotes @ certain letter, dated March 16, 1898, of Joseph B. Fenton, chair- man of the executive board, to Walter, stating that a number of ‘Walter's cus- tomers had been informed that he (Walter) had been declared unfair and had been requested to withhold their patronage from him until the differences were settled, and a that the answers to these letters had been erates, beyond our expecta- tion, and in some instances have oe eee ee on ae | ee ee Place you unfair without further delay.” Conspiracy Charged. Walter, not complying with the require- ments of the Knights of Labor, the grand jury declares that on March 16, 1898, Jo- seph B. Fenton, William T. Gosnell, Thomas P. O’Day, James Mclver, Charles A. Maid- ens, John L. Neeb, Hugh Digney, Michael Cuff, Alonzo M. Lawson, James O'Meara and Stephen A. Clements, “together with ivers- others evil-minded persons, which said persons and said divers other persons Inst aforesaid were membersof said order * ¢ © © did maliciously and unlawfully conspire, combine, confederate and agree together between and amongst themselves to restrain, restrict, embarrass, 2tstruct and injure and, if possible, destroy the said trade and business of him, the said Wal- ter.” The Counts of the Indictment. The counts then follow and recite that the efforts so described were made by procuring the passage of a resolution by D. A. 66, declaring Walter unfair; by pro- curing the passage of a resolution by L. A. 3456, requiring Edward J. Osterman, James E. Rose, John W. Lightell, John F. Beck, George H. Longheury, John F. Widmier, William Wimmell, William A. Wilding and John R. Deale, members of the K. of and of L. A. 8453, and who comprised all the skilled mechanics in Walter’s employ- ment, to at once cease working for said Walter, under pain of fines, suspension and expulsion'from the order, and the fact that several of them were tined $25 each; by call- ing on all the regular«customers of Walter and threatening them with the enmity and hostility of the order and its members if they continued to patronize his business, and by causing letters to be written of the same purport to all persons, firms and corporations doing business in the District who were known or <upposed to be custom- ers of Walter or who — supposed to contemplate dealing with It will be seen that Aba G yest of the question involved in the rights of organiz- ed labor to boycott those who do not mect its demands is presented in the case under consideration, and national interest will eagerly await the result of the trial. ISSUES GENERAL ORDER. Superintendent of Police Calls Atten- tion to Violations. Major Moore issued a general order to his several lieutenants Saturday afternoon cail- ing their attention to violations of certain ordinances. The order reads: The superintendent of the department has frequently had occasion to direct the en- forcement of the laws against hucksters and others making needless noise or outcry for the purpose of crying their wares in the public streets and places, the indiscrimi- nate throwing of papers and circulars in doorways and upon the thoroughfares and reservations, and the crying of papers on Sunday ‘which the law strictly confines to “extras”), and in these respects there has been so little improvement as to call forth many complaints. From time to time the attention of the police force has also been called to the ex- cassive speed made by the electric railway cars running through the city, without ap- parent result. Therefore it becomes my duty to firmly im- press upon the minds of the Heutenants and those under them that decisive action must be had to prevent the violations referred to. The police regulations provide against the unnecessary crying of wares, and limit the speed of motor cars, and it is expected that the regulations will be rigidiy enforced, and violators brought before the courts. Should further complaints be made of seeming neglect in such enforcement, they will be made the basis of investigation and action by the department. Jt is understood to be Major Moore's in- tention to prosecute the offenders enumer- ated, wherever caught, and prevent further violations. It is stated by the police there was a noticeable change yesterday in the speed of some of the cars, but many of the newsboys called their papers, as usual. Since the order was issued the police have made a numbeg of arrests. Several huck- sters have been placed in custody for call- ing strawberries, and they were in court today. Samuel L. Mills, justice of the peace, represented them, and he will make an effort to show that the law Is defective. The cases will come up later in the week. Three small newsboys, Fred Rose, Chas. Johnson and Benjamin Green, crrested yes- terday for crying newspapers on the streets, were tried. Judge Scott fined them $1 eae: eee THE ARMY MULE. As the Animal is Seen on the City Streets, Heavy wagons drawn by teams of mulcs, generally four to each wagon, are gradually becoming a familiar sight in the streets of the city. Those who have no personal recollection of the scenes of the late war no doubt conclude that a wagon of this sort belongs to some farmer in the vicinity. Upon this supposition, the conclusion can- not be avoided that farming runabouts must be a profitable occupation, for not only are the wagons in question strong and substantial, but they are apparently brand new, while new harness shines upon the sleek backs and sides of the weli-fed ani- mals. They are, however, teams from Camp Alger, Va., where some 13,000 soldiers from different parts of the couniry are stationed, preparatory to being ordered to the front. Uncle Sam Is the owner of these prosper- ous-looking turnouts. People wno have merely read of the army mule and his pe- cullarities will no doubt be surprised when they see these nice-looking animals, ap- parently so mild and docile. However, those who know say that appearances are not merely apt to be deceitful, but in the case of the mule are so without any question. The mule teams come to this city to get supplies of various kinds, principally, how- ever, of food, although various details needed to complete the equipments of the soldiers are also purchased here. As is well known, the large proportion of the supplies of all’kinds needed at such a place as Camp Alger are secured by con- tract made after advertisement. and are furnished in large quantities. The more perishable articles of food, such as fresh meat, Vegetables, bread, etc., are secured either from the immediate vicinity or from this city. Se Ordered by Commissioners.

Leroy Martin, the small boy who was arrested by Precinct Detective Hartigan a few days ago, after he had journeyed from Dana, Ill, to California and then to this city by way of New Orleans, as published in The Star at the time, was released from custody today. The charge against him was nolle prossed by Prosecuting Attorney Pugh. This action was taken because of the receipt of a letter from his adopted father, Sheldon F. Martin, at the Illinois town. In his letter Mr. Martin told a story sim- ilar to that related by the boy. Leroy left home with $100, and when next heard from he was in California. It appears that the boy's mother is living, but Mr. Martin does not know her whereabouts. He commends the boy to those who may have anything to do with him, and says he hopes he will secure a good situation. Precinct Detective Hartigan is endeavoring to assist the lad. ———__ Begged From House to House. “This man showed up in the vicinity of Ivy City Saturday and begged from house to house,” said Policeman Vermillion to Judge Scott this morning when Samuel Tyndell appeared on a charge of vagrancy. “And,” added the officer, “yesterday morn- ing he appeared at Mrs. Connolly’ house, entered without permission and frightened her.” Mrs. Connolly explained to the court that the man walked in her yard about 6 o'clock yesterday morning and asked for matches. She was so badly frightened that she gave him the matches, hoping he would leave, but he remained in the yard talking to her. Finally a number of railroad men came to her place and took him away. The prisoner was clad in winter gar- ments and carried a valse. He told the court that he was a stranger in the city. “Where are you from?” Judge Scott ask- ed him. “Freehold, N. J.” was his answer. “And will you go there if I release you?” “Yes, sir.” His personal bonds were taken. ————— Rides Wheel on Sidewalk. Robert T. Robb, a colored wheelman, was before Judge Scott this morning charg- ed with riding his bicycle on the sidewalk on the Benning road between 17th and 20th street. The road at this point is at pres- ent almost impassable because of the dust. In wet weather the mud is just as bad. There is no paved sidewalk there,-and the wheelman went over on the hard dirt in order to remain on his wheel. For this Policeman Joyce arrested him and charged him with riding on the sidewalk. Judge Scott required him to give his personal bonds. The United States Government will not buy baking powders con- taining alum at any price.

Saturday afternoon a soldier, evidently from Camp Alger, called at the first pre- cinct station and reported that Private Anderson of the 159th Indiana Volunteers, had been knocked from the Long bridge by a train. He said that Anderson had fallen in the water and It was his belief that the victim had been drowned. The man who made the report gave his mame &s Daniel Freeman. and said he an@ Anderson had Jumped on a train coming over from Falls Church and while on the | bridge his companion, Anderson, was | knocked off the train.’ According ‘to his | story blood and hair of his lost comra | could be seen on the ties, but the poll who went over and made an investigation | could find nothing to confirm the story. Captain Morris of the 150th Indiana Vole unteers called on the police and again this morning. He stated that there Was no man named Free! with the In- diane troops, and that Anderson, who was reported dead, ts missing. Anderson, he says, was sent to Fort Myer with a mess- a) Saturday. He fatled to return, and it is thovght that the man who made the report was Anderson. It is likely that his arrest as a deserter may be requested. + Laura Getz, colored, was today fined $20 by Judge Kimball! for biting Clarence Wil- liams, also colored, while the two wero fighting. In default of payment the prison- > went down for sixty days. Strong and ae igorous Women, and Healthy Children Are Needed to Make This Great American Nation Strong.
