Fire Department's Quick Response to an Alarm. A fire on Cleveland avenue yesterday afternoon developed remarkable efficiency of the District fire department in respond- ing to alarms. Commissioner Wight, who s immediate charge of the fire depart- ment, was called upon today by the man vho turned in the alarm, Mr. LaRue, who stated that he called for the purpose of -mmending the promptness of the depart- ment in the matter. Mr. LaRue said he pulled the box (239), about a minute after 6 o'clock, and in view of a recent complaint relative to the alleged slowness of the d partment in responding to a fire on Water et, he pulled his watch out for the pur- e of timing the arrival of the first com- and V streets, and the nearest company of the fire department is engine company } located on R stree This com- rge of Foreman Frank box 239, and Mr. LaRue stated to Mr. Wight that {t arrived at the box just inside of two and one-half after he pulled the box. As the be nad to be first recorded in the office of the fire alarm service before the opera- tor there could sound it in the various houses of the department, at least one min- ute necessarily elapsed after the pulling of the box before Foreman Wagner and his company received notice. So, according to Mr. LaRue’s watch, the company was at the bex ready to go into service a min- ute and a half later, having made the run of rly seven squares, including two turns, in that time, and established a fine record for the department. ——- Protest of No Avail. Frauk M. Hali was today sent to jail for three months by Judge Kimball for the lar- ceny of a bicycle valued at $25 from Mr. Oscar W. White, May 13.

Woman Permitted and to Change Plea in Light Sentence. That mercy oftens tempers justice was shown in Criminal Court No. 1 today, when Mary Foss, ali Pearl Ho was brought before Chief Justice Bingham to receive sentence for grand larceny, of which she had pleaded guilty some days ago. The prisoner was neatly dressed and her yeuthful looks excited the pity of the spec- tators. “Your honor,” said Mr. Shillington, ‘‘she is young, barcly nineteen, and a_ poor, wretched creature. She pleaded guilty of grand larceny, but I would suggest, in ‘ew of all the circumstances, that she be allowed to withdraw that plea and plead guilty of petty larceny.” Her cheeks crimsoned by ame, her eyes downcast, Mary Foss rose and whis- pered “yes’’ when Clerk Ga asked her if she consented. ‘Six months in jail,” gravely said the chief justice, and Mary went below to the cells. She might have gone to Jail for two or three years. —————. COLORED ORPHAN ASYLUM. Admirable Institution at Charleston— Representatives iVsiting This City.

Michael McCormick was tried in Police Court this morning, and fined $10, on a charge of deliberately driving a horse so as to collide with a bicycle. The case was rep- resented to be one of the worst of its sind ever heard in the Police Court. Attorney Campbell Carrington appeared for the accused, and examined the wit- nesses in the case. Joseph Camps was the prosecuting wit- ness. He told the court that last night about 9 o'clock he was out bicycle riding with his wife. They were on the right side of North Capitol street, when a horse at- tached to a carriage and driven by the de- fendant appeared, The vehicle was on the left side of the street. Mr. Camps said when his wife got near the carriage the driver deliberately, turned his horse and threw her off the wheel to the sidewalk. Witness heard McCormick say: “Now see me ruji over this fellow.” Instead of remaining on the street he managed to get ah the sidewalk and save himself. ‘| The defendant told‘ the court that his horse was blind and@“he naturally went from one side of ‘the street to the other, ‘The collision, he said, 'was an accident, and he denied that he was under the influence of liquor. “What was his condition?” Riley was asked. “He was drunk,” the officer answered, “and sa was the Woman who was in thé carriage with him. “The woman had been drinking,” Mr, Carrington admitted. “With a blind horse and a drunken man,” Mr, Pugh remarked, “‘there is no wonder that there was an accident.” This closed the case, and the court im- posed the fine stated. = Pay the Penalty, Charles Herbsrt and John €.

Night cycle racing will be introduced in this city for the first time tomorrow evening. The large park on the Conduit road, with its third of a mile beard track. one of the fastest in the country, will be il- luminated by nearly 1,000 incandescent lights. Poles will be erected on the outside of the track, about ten feet distant, suffi- ciently high enough to thoroughly light up the course and give a plain view of the track from the grand stand and bleachers. The original plan was to illuminate the track with search lights, having two or more large lights at different portions along the track. A trial was given Friday even- ing, but was not successful. The light was too blinding. As a result this meams of il- luminating for night races was declared off, and negotiations entered into for another system. The large search light, which has an il- luminating power of 2,000 candles, has been purchased, and will be mounted on the roof of the grand stand. From this high place the beams of the light can be thrown for several miles. The light can sweep the Conduit road for a distance of half or three-quarters of a mile. The contract calls for the completion of the work by to- morrow evening. The principal race Saturday night will be a five-mile match race between Frei Schace and Lee Counselman.
