Mayor Decides That the Use of Slot Machines is Ulegal. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King St., Bell Telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 11, 1898, In the case of Messrs. Chas. Fleischman & Son and Louis Brill, charged with al- lowing nickel-in-the-slot machines on their premises, Mayor Simpson decided that the use of these machines was a violation of the gambling law, recently enacted by the state legislature. In rendering this Gecis- ion Mayor Simpson said: “In view of the fact that the running of these machines was not done with any attempt to evade the law, as these gentlemen applied to Mr. Callahan, collector of internal revenue, for a license, and it was granted, I will dis- miss them.”’ The complaint of the violation was made by Officer Herbert Knight. The mayor gave the attorneys two days in which to decide whether or not they would take an appeal to a higher court. In the meantime, however, the machines will not be allowed to run. , Frank Gleason, who was arrested Satur- day evening by Officers Proctor and Arring- ton under suspicion that he was demented, Was subjected to examinations Saturday night and Sunday by Drs. Purvis and Die- nelt, and Gleason was sent to jail to await inquiries which were sent to Camp Alger concerning him.

TROOPS WANT ARMS The Effort to Have Camp Alger Forces Equipped. DEFECTIVE GUNS LATELY SUPPLIED The Presentation Yesterday to Brig- adeir General Gobin. PRACTICE ROAD MARCH CAMP ALGER, Va., July 11, 1898. An organized effort is now being made j by Gen. Graham and Division Commanders Butler and Davis to have the issue of eculpment for the 24 Corps hurried as much as possible. The three commanders visited the Secretary of War last week and made a personal appeal for the quarter- master and ordnance supplies needed to prepare their men for service. One conse- qvence of this visit was made clear yes- terday when werd came to the 7th Ohio that 1,161 haversacks, 425 rifles and fifty belts had been receivéd at Dunn Loring and were ready for distribution among the men of the regiment. ‘This will fully equip the commaad. The officials at Dunn Lor- ing have received information that similar supplies for the 7th Illinois, 6th Pennsyl- vania and 3d Missouri are expected to ar- rive within the next two or three days. It may reasonably be expected, therefore, that the greater number of accouterments need- ed to prepare the corps for service will be received and distributed by the end of next week. 4 Some trouble has arisen concerning the ordnance already issved. About two weeks ago the 22d Kansas Infantry received a supply of so-called new rifles, intended for immediate use, if necessary. Out of the 1,200 pieces received at that time it has smce been liscovered that at least 120 are werthiess because of short plungers and deiective breech blocks. It is said that bait hour's use would render these guns absolutely valueless. In addition to this fact, it has been discovered that the rities are not new, but are merely old rifles of the 1813 model, rubbed and polished and given a new appearance. There is much specu- letion among the regimental officers as to hew such arms could pass the inspecting officer. Bound for Cabin John. Long before the other regiments were stirring the 3d Virginia and the 8th, 12th and 13th Pennsylvania were on their way out of camp this morning. They are bound for Cabin John bridge and were to cross Chain bridge on the way. Company B of the Virginia regiment, under command of Capt. Grimsley, was the, advance guard and Company G, Capt. Nichols, brought up the rear. Company A, under First Lieut. Talbot, were left on guard at the old camp. No haversacks were taken by any of the four regiments, the rations having beer loaded and packed in two wagons. The command will return to camp tomorrow evening. Some of the old members of Gen. Gobin’s National Guard staff presented him yester- day with a very beautiful sword and belt. ‘The donors were Assistant Adjt. Gen. Gerst, Major S. B. Cameron, Major D x Halber- stadt, Major Meyer, Major W. H. Engle and Sergt. Rice. The colonels of nearly every regiment in camp were in attendance and congratulated Gen. Gobin warmly. Serious illness is reported in four in- stanes—Private Moore, Company L, 6th Massachusetts; Private Laneley, Company D, 12th Pennsylvania; Trooper Stevenson, Troop C, New York Cavalry, and Private Smith, Company D, 12th Pennsylvania. The first is suffering from paralysis and was taken to Fort Myer this morning. Private Laneley was operated upon yesterday at the Ist Division Hospital for an abscess. Trooper Stevenson is now in Providence Hospital and suffering from typhoid fever. Word was received yesterday from Wil- liamsport that Private Smith had died there of typhoid fever. He left camp a week ago, on ten days’ furlough, and was taken iil after reaching home. Sees VIOLATING POSTAL LAWS. i. A. Mullins Receives Letters In- tended for Another Man. ‘ A man whom the police believe is L. A. Mullins of Buckhannon, W. Va., was ar- rested today by Detectives Boardman, Weedon and Phillips and locked up on a charge of violating the postal laws. He was arrested at the National Hotel, where he was registered as “Edgar A. Lewis, Cumberland, Md.” It is alleged he has been getting from the hotel office mail intended for Mr. C, BE, Lewis, who _repre- sents the clothing firm of Bierman, Heidel- berger & Co., in New York. This Mr. Lewis was surprised when he was sum- moned to police headquarters today by the detectives and shown a letter, which, he said, had been addressed to him by his wife and which he had not received. The letter was taken from the prisoner, who afterward explained that he had’ been drinking. The prisoner had on deposit at the hotel a check for $500, made out in his favor and bearing the signature Edgar Allen. This check, the police claim, is worthless. The man under arrest will be given an opportunity in court tomorrow to make an explanation. It is alleged that he got two letters sent to Mr. Lewis by the latter's wife and one sent by his em- ployers. ———— : THE COURTS, Equity Court No. 1—Chief Justice Bingham, Campbell agt.

A young son of Mr. George Young, who keeps a small store on 33d street of Q street, met with quite a p dent the latter part of last week, which y cripple him for life. Another young he was with had a double-barreled and he fired one load, the recoil knocking the gun from his hand, when the force of the fall discharged the other bar- rel. Young was lying on the ground with his knee up and the charge entered the leg near the knee cap. He was taken to Dr. Kurtz, who extracted several 10 bird shot from the wound, but other lets remain. Dr. 2 Applet called in and upon his advice the sent to Providence Hospital for treatment. Henry Johnson, a soldier from Camp Al- ger, whose age is given as twenty-six, was arrested Saturday evening near the en- trance to the Free bridge by Policeman Ward, who held him on a charge of disor- Gerly conduct. Johnson is alleged to have made insulting proposals to a number of young ladies, and to have held up several buggies, making himself obnoxious in gen- eral. When placed under arrest he resist- - ed, but was forced to go. The funeral of Mr. John Potter, whose death was published in The Star Saturday, was held this forenoon from Trinity Church with a mass of requiem. The funeral cortege was quite long. George U.

Admiral Bunce sends the welcome news to the Navy Department that the repairs on the big dry dock at the Brooklyn navy yard have been completed. It is expected that the battle ship Iowa can be docked there within the next two or three weeks and the damage she suffered during the ergagement with Admiral Cervera’s ficet repaired. With the Brooklyn dock in ser- vice, the navy will be able to give our ships the docking they have long needed. With the Iowa in gcod trim again, tho de- partment probably will draw off other ships, ove at & time, as they can be spared from Cuban waters, and given them an overhauling and scrape their bottoms. —=
