Vincenti Mosari, against whom there was a charge of trespassing on the White Lot grass. “This man has been lying about the park for several days,” Watchman Riley said, “and I thought he was drunk, but, after arresting him, I reached the conclusion that he is demented. The man cannot speak English. He says he is a Hungarian, but I think he’s an Italiat “Is that the only complaint?’ inquired the court. “That all," answered the park watch- man. ‘When I arrested him he resisted, and it took three officers:to put him in the wagon without hurting him.” “Do you want to sey anything?” the un- fortunate man was asked. He made an effort to explain, but nobody could understand him. In view of the officer's statement, Judge Scott committed him for examination. In the meantime the authorities are anxious to hear from the man’s relatives. —_—.-___ §3.50 Another Graad Excursion $3.50 to Ft.

Bold Attempt at Criminal Assault in Pencote Woods. e Description of the Man Charged and Expect! to Ef- fect Capture. A bold attempt at a criminal assault upon @ young lady was made by a white man Wednesday night in the resort at Congress Heights now called Wilson Park, better known as Pencote woods. Occurring, as it did, but a short distance from the pleasure ground, which, as usual, was crowded with hundreds of people, the affair occasioned the greatest excitement, in the midst of which the would-be assailant made his es- cape. The policé at Anacostia made every effort to apprehend him the same night, but were unsuccessful. Policeman W. E. Owens, who was on the Congress Heights beat at the time of the occurrence, has been specially detailed to investigate the case, while the detective is making strenuous efforts in the rection, it is stated. It has been endeavor of the police to keep the matter quiet, and it was not until yester- day that any of the facts became known. ‘The name and address of the young lady are in possession of the police and are not likely to be divulged at the present time. It is stated that she resides on 9th street northwest. She had gone over to Congress Heights on the electric cars in company with an escort. She was introduced to the man whose acquaintance the police would now like much to make, and they danced several times together on the pa- vilion. The fellow finally asked the young lady to show him where the pump was lo- cated, and as she said she would they walked away together. Threatens With a Revolver. What occurrred near the pump was gath- ered from the hysterical young lady after- ward. A revolver was presented at her head and ‘she was told if she made an out- ery she would be killed. The fellow acted in a manner that left no doubt as to his in- tentions and the lady filled the air with her screams. Men came hurrying from the car sheds nd the intensest excitement reigned. As soon as it was fully understood what had taken place men organized squads and beat about the wovds in the endeavor to ture the scoundrel, but nothing was seen of him after he plunged into the woods at the first alarm. Word was sent to the Annacostia police station, and officers were ed on guard at the Anacostia and mnsylvania avenue bridges. Every ele var that passed cityward over the road boarded and examined, but without Policeman Has Dexcription. Policeman Owens has sceured a wood de- scription of the man, and was working on the se yesterda It is said the police do not Know the man’s name, despite the fact that in some manner he obt: ed an intro- duction to the lady. It is thought, how- er, that he gave an assumed name at that time. The young lad: but sixteen years of oge. Detective Proctor to Assist. Mattingly yesterday detailed ve Proctor to assist Policeman . Taey arrested a young man on suspicion this morning and took him to adquart where he was seen by the young lady. She said he was not the man ard he left headquarters without knowing why he had been arrested. The detective then went out with the young lzdy in search of the man wanted. Fined for Jamping on Moving Cars. “Not guilty,” pleaded Arthur Clark, a colored boy, who was arraigned in the Police Court this morning for the alleged violation of a District ordinance. It was charged that he had enjoyed himself jump- ing on and off cable cars on H street, he being a minor and not a passenger on the cars. “Judge, your honor,” Policeman Ehlers id, “l have warned this boy about this dangerous practice, and yesterday I found him hopping on the cars again.” “Do you want to explain your conduct? Judge Scott asked him. ves, * answered the boy, in a child- ish way. “The policeman told me about the cars, and yesterday when I hopped on the car he arrested me.” s “If he warned you about jumping on the cars,” said the judge, “why didn’t you obey him “He didn’t tell me yesterday,” answered Arthur, “but he told me several days ago. Yes ¢ 1 hopped on the car once and 1 got runned in.” “Hereafter you would better heed the officer's warning,” the court told him. “Two dollars this time, and the next time it will be $. “Guilty, but I want to make a_state- ment,” Was the plea of John Goodwin, a small white boy, when arraigned for a similar offense. “Do you want to tell me that you were not killed?" inquired the court. “You are fortunate that you were not even hurt.” “I hepped on to see if my brother was on the car,” was the boy's explanation. understand that Johnnie is a good boy.” Policeman Duvall said, “and his mother is a poor woman. If your honor can let him off without the imposition of a heavy fine I think it would sérve the pur- pose desired. What the police want is to break up the practice.” ‘The judge Imposed a fine of $1 and warn- ed the boy that he would be more severely punished if he repeated the offense. He thought the imposition of $10 fines in these eases might be the means of saving the lives of some boys. ——— Let Your Dollar Laugh at Our Pricen.

He jvmps at conclusions in the old feminine wayfirst, he calls me a Cuban, the fact is am half Yankee—and could not or would not for the world say a word against Afmericans, as a whole; either Yankees or Cubans. econdly, he jumps at the conclusion that I wished to excuse the Cubans for not de- siring to lay down their arms and build roads ‘‘on the grounds that it ts servants’ work"—I did not say that, I mentioned road makirg in the same breath with ser- vents’ work, but I didn’t say a word inst elther. Cubans do not mind ser- ’ work, they gladly do that or any werk when it is proper that they should d» so. I said the Cubans were loth to lay down their arms to do the work (under the circumstances). I should have added I beg pardon of Hinda Burke for having bother- ed him or F ar. Now, wh I am about it I will explain further. I ‘elt that there was most likely a Cuban side to the story under discussion, which suggested the possibility of there having been some good cause for the Cubans’ reluctance to work at the time. May be their general—Garcia—wished them to be at the front in the place of others not used to Mauser bullets, out of consid- eration for the Americans, you know—may be some other reason, everything is con- jecture now. Why are the Cubans ,condemned until their side of the question ts given? Now, I would warn Hinda Burke; do not arrive at conclusions from fragments of sentences arranged to suit yourself with words of your own interpolated to carry out your own conclusion, and be more charitable with friends. = July 22.

Decision by aadee Morris in Litigat- ea Cake, In an opinion filed in the United States circuit court in Baltimore yesterday Judge Morris passed upon the questions raised by the exceptions. fo the master’s report dis- trubuting the fund of $30,000 arising from the foreclosufe sale of fhe Washington and Chesapeske Beach Railway Company among the creditors of the company. The suit was begun July 5, 1894, by a creditor's bil, which charged maladministration by the company’s officers, wasteful misuse uf nortgige bonds of the company and in- solvency, and asked that receivers be ap- pointed. Recelvers were appointed December 12, 1804. The assets of the company consisted of a right of way for a railway from Washington to Chesapeakg Beach and about 700 acres of land at Chesapeake Beach. On this property a mortgage to Secure $1,000,000 of the company’s bonds had been executed December 5, 1892, to the American Security and Trust Company of this city. October 26, 1895, the trust com- pany was appointed a special commission- er to make the sale, but not at a less price than $30,000, which had been bid for it. Exceptions to the master’s report: were filed by J. Kennedy Tod & Co. of New York, the Central National Bank of this city, Dr. Thomas B. Hood, James A. Bates and T. D. Tyrer. The court confirms the master’s report, except so far as the exceptions of J. Kennedy Tod & Co., the Central National Bank and Dr. Thomas B, Hood are sustained by the opinion. The court holds that the directors un- lawfully parted with $499,900 additional bonds given to J. Kennedy Tod & Co., but there is nothing to prevent the other bonds held by them from receiving their pro rata share in the distribution. The Central National Bank, it is also held, is entitled to hold the $50,000 bones taken as security for a_loan of $10.00. With regard to the $174,400 bonds placed in the hands of Dr. T. B. Hood as trustee to secure certain notes called “Hood green |fotes,” the court finds that the holders of the notes are entitled to the securiay of the bonds. Dr. Hood, it is also hel’, is en- titled to claim pro rata for the mo bends held by hin: persona! ‘The other exzeptions were overruled, in- cluding the exception-to the allowance of a fee of $2,000 to Frank P. Clark, counsel for Charles Pelham in a general creditors’ bill of complaint. > EXCURSIONS, The cheapest, pleasantest Saturilay ex- cursion that leaves Washington is, that to Colonial Beach and points on the lcwer Po- tomac, on the swift-sailing steamer T.
