Proceedings of Police Court—Mr. Frank Hame Chosen School Trus- tee—Alexandria County Court. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King st. Bell telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 29, 1898. Shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday after- noon Mary Corbin appeared at the station house and reported to Sergt. Bettis that she had just been assaulted with a knife By her husband, Emanuel Corbin, at their home In Muirs alley. The woman hed an ugly gash on her Ieft arm and on ker right leg just below the thigh. Her dress was cut entirely across the front. A warrant was made out and placed in the hands of Officer Knight to execute. The officer proceeded to Corbin’s home, where he found him in a half drunken con- dition. At first he declined to go with the office: and grappled with him, causing the officer to give him a gentle reminder with his stick. He finally gotten to the station house and locked up. When the case was called in police court this morning bis wife was the only witness to appear, and it was evident that she did not care to pro&ecute, but enough evidence was brought out to justify Mayor, Simpson in fining him with the alternative of serving ninety days on the chain gang. Corbin made an assault on his wife a short time ago, shooting her in the jeg with a pistol. ‘The ball has never been taken out. He is a well-known negro char- acter, and of late years has given the po- lice a great deal of trouble. Police Court.

The District Commissioners have vir- tually decided that they are without power to interfere in the matter of the manage- ment of the Washington Hospital for Foundlings, on 15th street near S$ stre i being of the opinion that the abate. ment of the alleged nuisance caused by the crying of the little ones is a matter for the mauagers of the institution to dispose of. Respe numerous complaints of the anne » caused those residing in the neighborhood of the hospital by t! crying of the babies, Mr. Herbert W Lewis, superintendent of charities, recently suggested to the Commissioners that t could compel the farming out of the chi dren to selected nurses by declining to ap- prove disbursements for the retentfon of the children in the kospital. Commissioner Ross. in his indorsement upon Mr. Lewis’ report, says he has read it with much in- terest. yet, with a full appreciation of all of the embarrassments which attend the location of the hospital, he does not sec how the Commissioners can lawfully com- pel the trustees of the: institution to place the infants under thetr charge in the care of private families or outside of the hospital building. Mr. Ross calls attention to the fact that it is a private corporation, with real estate valued at $130,550, con- trolled by a board of trustees, who are in po way responsible to the Commissioners. The appropriation of $6,000 for the hos- pital, made by Congress for the current jear, was, says Mr. ‘Ss, apparently made upon tie basis of its being used in the buildin, as heretofore. The suggestion cf Mr. Lewis that the Commissioners decline to cause @ warrant to be issued to the credit of the disbursing officer if their views are not complied with, would not, in Mr. Ross’ opinion, secure the ends sought to be attatned. He is of the opinion that adequate relief can only be had by the ac- tion of the trustees of the institution. Commissioner Wight agrees with Mr. Ross in the matter, saying that the drastic measvre proposed by Mr. Lewis would neither be wise nor such as the Commis sioners have the right to demand. Afte: ceiling attention to the fact that tae in- stitution is governed by a regulariy Incor- perated body of trustees, Mr. Wight sug- gests that Mr. Lewis’ recommendation that the childrea be placed in the care of out- side people be referred to the board of di- rectors as one which the Commissioners approve, wita the request that the directors ey ne arrange for such a provision, 1f possible, Capt. Beach, tue Engineer Commissioner, suggested a conference between the Com- missioners and the directors of the hospital in the matter, While this conference may be had, it ts understcod that the Commis- sioners will not undertake to enforce the recommendation of the superintendent of charities. It 1s also understood that the hospital authori‘fes have promised that a different Lectin, jee will be made for the care of the little ones next summer. oc $3.50 Another Grand Excursion §3.50 to Ft.

Keys’ Death. ¢ The chemical examination of the contents of the stomach of William Keys, colored, who died under alleged suspicious citcum- stances, has not yet been concluddéd, but enough has been discovered to convince Professor Hird that death resulted from natural causes. In view of what the ex- amination has thus far showa, coupled with the fact that the evidence obtained by Detectives Gallaher and Lacy develops that Mrs. Keys could not possibly have adiniti- istered poison, she has been released. Yesterday afternoon the inquest was begun and several witnesses were examined. Lizzie Johnson,who was present at the time of the man’s death, was a witness, telling of the circumstances. Keys had com- plained, she said, of feeling unwell the day before his death. Henry Keys, brother of the deceased, gave similar testimony, and Henry Tolliver told of the hearty ‘meal eaten by Keys Wednesday night. Mrs. Keys told the jury that she had not seen her husband for nearly two weeks before he died. The detectives explained the re- sult of the investigation they had made, and the hearing was continued until Mon- ay. ——— EXCURSIONS. So successful have been the special Sat- urday evening excursions to Fortress Mon- roe, Norfolk, Newport News, Virginia Beach and Ocean View that the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company has decided to again reduce the regular fare for the round trip tomorrow evening. And those who take the trip will have a fine opportunity to see some of our modern war vessels, as well as to visit their friends among the soldier boys who are stationed there. The Maryland troops are quartered at Fortress Monroe. The auxiliary cruisers St. Paul, commanded by Capt. Sigsbee, the hero of the Maine, and the St. Louis are in Hampton Roads to take on troops for the expedition to Porto Rico. The cruiser Minneapolis, the Dolphin and the Iris are at the Norfolk navy rd for repairs. The two huge battle ships Kentucky and Kear- sarge are being finished at the ship yards at Newport News. And the ships lying at anchor and the army and navy officers, all in uniform, ashore lerid a very warlike as- pect to the scene. Then there is the tine surf bathing and deep-sea fishing at Old foint Comtort, Virginia Beach and Ocean View to be enjoyed. Another inducement which will have weight with those who have ever taken the trip is the fact that the elegant steamer Newport News will make the sail tomorrow evening. This is the finest steamer on the river, and is a model of comfort and luxury, having all the modern conveniences, electric lights, and serving excellent meals. The steamer will leave 7th street wharf at 6:30 p.m., arriving at Fort Monroe and Norfolk Sun- day morning. It would be a very difficult person, in- deed, to please who could not enjoy’ the sails on the Potcmac, which the steamer Charles Macalester makes to Marshall Hall and Indian Head every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening. These trips have long been a great pleasure to those who remain in the city during the summer, and now that the evenings are uncomforta_ bly warm, the “stay-at-homes” show their appreciation of the outings by patronizing them liberally. No matter how hot and sultry the day may be in town the ride on the water is always pleasant. The river breezes are cool and refreshing, and one is in a position to fully enjey them when in 4a comfortable chair on the deck of the Mac- alester. Those who spend the day at Mar- shall Hall may remain if they wish during the evening, gr take the sail to Indian Head without any extra charge. The steamer Macalester will make the trip to Marshall Hall and Indian Head this and tomorrow evening and every Thursday, Fri- day and Saturday evening during the sum- mer, leaving 7th street wharf at 6:30. Three trips wiil be made to Marshall Hall on Sunday, the steamer leaving at 11 a.m., 2:30 and 6:30 p.m. The reduced rates to Arlington over the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Ver- non railway will again be in effect on Sun- day, and the usual large number will, with- out doubt, take advantage of the low prices for the round trip tickets and spend part of the day at this beautiful place. The cool breez the fine old shade trees, the beautiful walks, and well-kept grounds, make Arlington a welcome retreat on such warm days as we have been having lately. Then there is the mansion, the former home of Parke Custis and General Robert BE. Lee, to be examined; the graves of the nation’s dead to be seen, and in the even- ing, especially, the beautiful view of the river and city in the setting sun. Electric train 18% street and Pennsylvania avenue, for Arlington every half hour during the day and evening. Reduced rates will also be in effect between this city and Alexandria on Sunday, elec- tric trains leaving the station ‘about every half hour from 7:45 a.m. to 11:20 p.m. One of the pleasantest, and certainly one of the most economical’ ways of spending an evening, is to take a “trolley ride’ on the electric ars of the Georgetown and Tenleytown railway to West Chevy Chase. As the cars go speeding along, creating a welcome breeze, even on the warmest even- ing, passengers can view the naval observ- atory, President Cleveland’s former home, Red Top, Cleveland Park, the American University and many other notable spots and handsome residen: along the route. Those who go to Glen Echo will find this a most convenient route. On arriving at West Chevy Chase, board the cars of the Washington and Glen Echo road going east and secure a good seat before reaching the “cirel Connections are made with the avenue cars at 82d and M streets, and with leave the station, the F street cars at 82d and P streets every ten minutes. The last car connects at West Chevy Chase with car from Glen Echo at . Camp Alger with its thousands of troops and miles of tents is well worth seeing, and those who have not visited the camp should certuinly make the trip. The electric cars which run from the Aqueduct bridge to Falls Church form a quick and convenient route. The line runs through the wood- lands, and as the cars go at a good rate of speed, all the heat and dust of the roads is avoided. These cars leave the Aqueducc bridge every half hour from 6 a.m. until midnight. A special excursion will be run to Pen Mar Sunday, July 31, over the Pennsylva- nia railroad. The train will leave the Bal- timore and Potomac station, corner 6th and B streets, at 8:30 a.m. Tickets for the round trip are on sale at Parker's book store, 621 7th street northwest, Simms’ drug store, 14th and New York avenue, and White's music store, 929 F street north- west. The excursion will be personally conducted, and every nie will be arranged for the comfort of those who go. The children will be made welcome at River View tomorrow on the usual Saturday children’s day trips, and parents are in- vited to bring all their children and give them an outing under the shade trees at the View, where they can run about and play as much as they please. The Satur- day children's days are a feature of the View season and have been popular ever since they were started, several years ago. ‘The rains of the past two days have fresh- ened up everything in the country wonder- fully, and the trees, grass and shrubbery at River View are now looking as bright and fresh as they did in the early sum- mer. This, with the cool breeze from the river and the pleasant ride on the steamer, makes. one forget that hot weather exists. ‘Tomorrow the Péntz will leave at 10 a.m. 2:15 and 6:45 p.m., and, returning, will leave River View at 12:15, 5, 8 and 10:30 p.m., stopping at Alexandria on all trips.

FORD THOMPSON'S LOSS, OMPSO: Fire Destroys Hors, Barn, Carriage House and Contents, A disastrous fire occirred At the sum mer residence of Dr. Ford Thompson at Brightwood this morning about 3 o'clock. The horse barn and carriage house, with their contents, valued at about $4,000, in some unaccountable way became ignited, and before help could reach them were burned to the ground. Fhe police are of the opinion that the fire was started by an incendiary. At the hour mentioned Andrews, the coachman, who slept in one of the build- ings, was awakened by a Httle dog. He found himself completely surrounded by flames, his only way of escape being to jump from the window. This he did, and aroused the family. A message was at once dispatched to engine house No. 13, a half mile away, but before the firemen ar- rived all chance of saving the stable and carriage house was gone, and it was nec- essary for the fire fighters to turn their attention to the preservation of the main building and such of the contents of the burning building as was possible. At first it was feared that the hand- some residence was doomed, and a hurry call was sent to this city for aid. Before it arrived, however, control over the fire had been gained, and the city engines were intercepted. Several valuable vehicles were removed before they were damaged, but harness amounting in value to $500, as well as a supply of feed worth $200, were consumed. Luckily, the fine stock was all in the pas- ture. Incidental to the general destruc- tion was the loss of a goat and a pet dog belonging to the children of Dr. Thomp- son. A small amount of insurance was carried. ——= NOMINATIONS MADE.

William Jennings, arrested on D2laware venue, where he was found under the in- fluence of liquor, was a sick man when he appeared in Judge Scott’s court this morn- ing. “Guilty,” he answered, when the clerk had read a charge of vagrancy to him. “Do you want to say anything?” saked the judge. “Only that I have been drinking,” he answered, “and I wafit-to straighten up.” “I'll impose a penalty of $5 or fifteen day: the judge said, “and that I think will give you Cane — gs all right, What do think about it?” “That's Rout right,” the man admitted. “I have been drinking about two weeks.” “Judge, your honor,” interrupted Jen- nings’ wife, who was in the audience. “My husband is no habitual drunkard, and I don’t see why you send him down to the workhouse.” “It seems to be his choice,” the judge told Mrs. Jennings; “your htsband says he has been on a spree for two weaks and wants to down to straighten up.” Fell, judge,” Mrs. Jennings added, “he can straighten up at home just as well as can down there, and I don’t sxe why he should be sent there, 5 “That's true," the judge said; “I don’t see why he eouldn’t sober up at home.” This concluded the case and Jennings stepped back. —__.-—_ Sentenced at His Own Request. By his own request Wilyim Thompson was teday committed to the work house for sixty dys by Judge Scott, Thompson ‘said he had tried many times, but was un- able to get work, and he preferred to come. inte court and surrender himself to being for , a8 he would WALLS CRUMBLE AND FALL. Partial Collapse of Building No. 1221 Pénhsyltania Avenue. A sequel to the Wreck occasioned by the falling walls of the Abert building on Pennsylvania atenue hear 12th street the night of Septémber 29, 1896, occurred about 5:45 o'clock last evening, a few- doors to the west cf that structure in the fall of a part of the east and front Walls of the twe-story building at 1221 Pennsylvania avenue. Although a great part of the debrié fell out on the avenue, no one was injured and the damage to the building was slicht. Premises 1221 Pennsylvania avenue con- sist of a two-stoty brick building, erected very many years ago, it is said. It is oc- cupied by Mrs. Kean, who conducts on the first floor a ladies’ furnishing estab- lishment, and who uses the upper story es her sleeping apartment. The Abert buliding, it will be recalled, was not only badly damaged in the cyclone of 1886, but its falling walls more or less crushed the three buildings on the west. The one im- mediately adjoining the Abert building on the west has been rebuilt, but the next two have not, and a great mass of debris lies yet between the structure immediately ad- joining the Abert building and that occu- pied by Mrs. Kean. The eastern wall of the latter building is said to be but nine inches in thickness, and in it yet remain some of the joists of the wrecked building immediately on the east of it. This strain, together with the heavy rains of the past two days, is supposed by many to have so weakened the wall as to cause a great part of it immediately be- neath the roof to fall out on the side and front. It is really the southeast corner of the upper story of the building, just below the roof, which collapsed, leaving a great hicle. The bricks fell out mostly to the side, on the debris of the building wrecked in 1898, but a large number were precip!- tated upon the avenue sidewalk. Most fortunately the avenue was not the drowded thoroughfare it is at other hours of the day and night, and for that reason, more than for any other, no one was injured by the falling walls. The awn- ings in front of the building were a total wreck. An old man who peddies notions at a little sidewalk stand heard the crack- ing of the walls just in time to escape seri- ous injury. His little stock in trade, how- ever, was ruined. It is also said that a boy who was passing at the time narrowly es- caped injury by hastily getting out of the way. The collapse of the walls attracted a great crowd to the scene, and many ad- verse criticisms were made because of the apparent neglect of the authorities to cause the removal of the debris of the wrecked buildings on the east, and the strengthen- ing of the walls of the building occupied by Mrs. Kean. This building is said to be owned by the Travers estate, and Messrs. Thomas J. Fisher & Co. are said to be the agents. Among others who viewed the wreck of last evening was Commissioner Ress, who said that the authorities would be directed to make a careful investigation of the matter. Mrs, Kean suffered no loss to her stock, and her household effects in the second story room were but slightly damaged. An investigation is being made today by the direction of the inspector of buildings as to the cause of the accident, and a re- port in the matter will be submitted to the Commissioners in a day or two. Mr. Brady, the inspector of buildings, stated teday that he has not made a personal examination, and therefore could not ex- press any opinion as to the cause of the accident. After the accident in 1806 he had directed that all dangerous walls be torn down. That had been promptly done, and if any debris was permitted to remain in such a condition as to endanger any other building it was a matter of which he was not aware. es INJUNCTION DISSOLVED. Action Taken in Court Affecting a Mining Lease. Through a stipulation between the attor- neys interested, Justice Hagner today in Equity Court No. 1 dissolved the injunction and dismissed the bill in the case of the American Asphalt Company, a corporation of Colorado, against Cornelius N. Bliss, Secretary of the Interior, and William A Jones, commissioner of Indian affairs, both having been sued in their official capacity. ‘The injunction granted a few montiis ago by Justice Cox restrained the Secretary and commissioner mentioned from «eclar- ing at an end a mining lease in Utah, held by the American Asphalt Company, exe- cuted by the Uintah and White River tribes of Indians, and from forfeiting the rights and leasehold estate of the plaintift by reason of the failure of the company to file a map of their claim on a specified date or on account of the Secretary's ob- jections to the descriptions of the parcels of land therein. The defendants were also restrained from interfering with and pre- venting, the mining and marketing of the minerals upon the land in question. The plaintiffs were represented by Messrs. Needham and Cotton and L. D. Thoman, while Mr. Willis Van Devanter, assistant attorney general, appeared for the government officials. Some agreement was reached between the parties before the stipulation was framed. The oplaintilf is assessed the cost of the dismissed su. ——.—_—_ Last Will of Lucy Ross. The will of Lucy Ross, dated October 18, 1891, and made at “Londonderry, Eeston, Md., was filed today for probate. The testator bequeaths her personal prop- erty to Paul E. Johnson, her clothes to be sold and the proceeds therefrom to be given to the poor of St. Augustine's par- ish. Fifty dollars is allotted to the pastor cf St. Augustine's Church for the purpose of having masses said for the repose of her soul. The residue of the testator's es- tate is bequeathed to Paul E. Johnson ani Leila J. Ewing. The former is also made tor @f the will. THE MAXIMUM PENALTY, Harry L. Haxail. Committed to aJil tillery, was today sent by Judge Sc for Various Offenses. Harry L. Haxall, who sald he was a dis- charged member of the Ist Maryland Ar- t to jail for one year and six months for steal- ing books from the Soldiers’ Rest, a pair of opera glasses from J. V. D. Gilman and $3 in money and several pairs of socks from Clarence H. Mayer. In possersion of the accused man were three discharges from different branches of the United States service, all dated the same month. Haxall said he was guilty of the charges against him and that he wrote charges himself. Prosec the dis- Detective Baur, who ar- rested him, said the prisoner claimed to be @ lieutenant in the army and said he had takea part in the battle of Santia itor Semmes said Haxall's offense was of an aggravated character and he asked for the imposition of the maximum penalty, which was given by Judge Scott. —_— _—_ James Bowman, colored, fell from the loft of Mr. Howard's stable, in the rear of 116 C street northeast, about 9: night, and w: seriously injured. » o'clock last He fell from the doorway and landed on his head.
