A young colored man named William Tibbs borrowed a bicycle from a friend yes- terday and went out for a ride. He was speeding along Pennsylvania avenue south- east, when Policeman Mason rode near him and inquired if he were enjoying himself. Much to William's surprise, the officer led him around to the police station and locked him up as a “scorcher.”” “I'm guilty,” was his plea this morning to a charge of fast riding. “I’m not a regu- Jar rider and didn’t know that the wheel was a 95 gear until I got arrested.” “What do you want the court to do?” “If you'll let me go this time I'll promise not to ride fast again.” “In consideration of your plea,” said the —_— “Tl make the penalty $3 or ten lays. 3 prizes, prizes, $5 treas- es Nettie Wood’s Offense.

Francis E. Northhouse, a one-armed vet- eran, was today released on his personal bond of $300 to keep the peace, particularly against his wife, Clara Northhouse, for six months. Mrs. Northhouse charged that last Friday her husband threatened to take her life, chasing her with a knife in his hand. The man denied the charge, but Judge Kimball told him that he had not only threatened his wife, but had, in an un- manly manner, attempted to smirch her character. “I will let you off this time," said the judge, “on your personal bond, but if you are brought here again on a like charge, 1 will send you to Jail for a good long time. —__+—_—_ THE GAME OF CRAPS. Court Will Sustain Police in Efforts to Suppress It. “The game of craps,” remarked Judge Kimball in the Police Court today, “has beeen productive of more crimes, murders and lesser offenses than any other gam- bling game known here. Therefore, the court will sustain every lawful effort made by the police authorities to stop it. Those who stand by and watch the game, even though they do not actively participate, are guilty of breaking the law and must expect punishment,” The judge so remarked in the case of John Jennings and six others, who were charged with congregating in the cellar of a house in Linger’s alley Saturday night. The place was raided by Policeman Ready and his partner, who found the men en- gaged in a game of craps. The court held all guilty under the provisions of the act of July 8, 1888, of congregating and assem- bling and engaging in loud and boisterous taixing and disorderly conduct. A fine of $20 was imposed on each man. ae Ordered by Commissioners.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: In your very full and generally accurate report of the annual horse show at Ma- hassas your reporter in referring to the sporting tandems says: “In this class there are four entries—C. C. West of Baltimore, Md.; Robert Portner, Manassas, Va.; Ccurtland H. Smith, Theological Seminary, Va., and Messrs. Russell & Furr, Aldie, Va.” Now, this seems ike Hamlet with Hemlet left out, especially when the prac- tical use of the tandem, shorn of fancy rig and glittering trappings, is for a hunts- man to drive to the meet of the hounds at minimum ease to himself and mount, then to quickly unharness and saddle the leader (which has had nothing to do but go unweighted, showing the Wheeler or Shafter the way), mount and ride to the music, than which when a pack is in full cry there is nothing sweeter, grander or more thrilling to the sportsman’s heart. Just here permit me to add to the list exhibited the tandem Nelly Montague, five years, 14.3 hands; Wheeler and Rose Capulet, four years, 14.1 (leader). ‘Tis true they were not entitled to the Weymouth bridle for splended appointments. In fact, it Was never once dreamed that they would be judged by the brightness of their tinsel. However, in this connection it may be in- teresting to know that the cwner of Mon- tague and Capulet immediately filed pro- test against the award in the sporting tan- dem class, upon the grounés that his driver, George Purcell, was not permitted to drive around the track even once; that he was compelled to attempt the jumping perform- ance on a cold tollar, when every other tandem driver had the opportunity of warming the leader; that Rose Capulet, the leader, had previously shown her ability to jump, she having in the pony class taken ir good style, without a balk, these identical jumps, and in that class is entitled to first. That she has sufficient speed was demon- strated in the siagle driving class imme- diately preceding, in which she won first, and that Nelly Montague, the Wheeler, is just as fast or faster can be proved by such experienced horsemen as Earnest Hayes, who bas driven them tandem ten miles at a clip, and others who have driven them and seen them go. That in point of fact, in form, muscle, style of going, stay- ing power and color they are in reality superior to some of those placed over them: that, contrary to the rules of the associa- ticn, a stallion was exhibited in one tan- dem.

The authorities at St. Elizabeth’s yester- Gay recetved John Murphey, a private in the 2024 New York. He came all the way from Camp Black in charge of two com- rades. While at the camp several weeks ago Murphey developed signs of insanity, which culminated in an attempt on his life. He cut his throat with a razor. He was taken to the hospital, where he gave the nurses considerable trouble in his en- deavors to escape. On one occasion he broke past the guard and made a vicious assault on a picket with the latter's bayo- net. When it was decided to send him to the government hospital for the insane in this city he fought like a wild beast, and all the way to the city struggled desperate- ly to get away. He was given immediate attention at the hospital and is slightly better today. ——S Niagara Falls and Return via B. and 0., $10.

Daniel Cely, a veteran from Hempton, whose hilarious conduct in the Baltimore and Potomac depot yesterday was the re- sult of liquor drinking, admitted to Judge Mills this morning that he was disorderly. “I came up from the home to see about a claim,” he said. “Yesterday I met some of the District volunteers and they gave me some liquor from a bottle.” “If you were here looking after a claim,” said the judge, “‘you had no business in the depot. and when you drink Miquor you must take the consequences.” ‘The penalty was $5 or fifteen days. ANACOSTIA HAPPENINGS William Grove Arrettied and Locked Up for Disoiderty Conduct. Deputy Marshal Captures a Man Charged With Violating Pension Laws ana Gther Offenses. Some one brought éword to the Anacostia police station about: 12 o'clock Saturday night that William Grove, a molder, fifty- two years of age, was engaged in frighten- ing the members of his household by hurl- ing pieces of furniture about, which, it is said, they were not® always successful in dodging. Policemen Reagan and King went to the sccne of the alleged disorder and returned with Grove as their prisoner. He was charged with disorderly conduct. A short time afterward Policeman King started to break up a crowd of colored roughs who were acting disorderly upon their return from the city. The principal offender became profane and abusive, and the officer placed him under. arrest. The prisoner broke away, and rama short dis- tance across the Anacostia bridge, but the policeman pursued and recaptured him. The man fought fiercely, it is stated, and finaliy the policeman blew his distress call. Sergt. Anderson and Policeman Reagan responded promptly and the prisoner was soon landed in the station. In addition to the charge of profanity the charge of assaulting an officer was placed against him. He gave his name as Benjamin Holmes, aged twen- ty-two. Charged With Various Offenses. George F. Anderson, alias George F. Cal- kins, who was arrested in Washington by Deputy Marshal Turner Saturday, charged with violating the pension jaws, is the man who, last week, is said to have brought young Samuel Hauser of C'avetown, Wash- ington county, Md., to Washington, and af- terward sent him home penuiless. It is charged that Anderson represented himself to be the agent of Attorney Allan Ruther- ford of Washington, and that he obtained considerable money from old soldiers throughout Washington county, M4.

It has been suggested that a committee of National Guardsmen, or others, be ap- pointed to visit the railroad stations each day and welcome any of their returning comrades. Such a committee would have been able to do good service in the past, for soldiers have been coming in every day, some in such a weak and emaciated condi- tion as to require immediate attention. During the present week, before the regi- ment returns, soldiers will be arriving cn furlough, and it is pointed out that it is not too late to do good. Colone: Harries has granted furloughs to the following, who will return today: William T. Baum, Company L; James Darling, Company E; W. E. B. Sacks, Com- pany A; Sergeant H. M. Vermillion, Com- pany A, and William Broderick, Company ge District Men in Brooklyn. Five men of the District of Columbia Regiment were brought down to New York on the Shinnicock Saturday.

McPike, Company A, were taken to St. Peter's Hospital, Brooklyn, and George H. Gillman, Company G, was taken to the Brooklyn Hospital. —————— You can save most half in Hoeke’s Clear- ing Sale—Advt. “Last factory and car- gold mines near es Sang Only to Oblige. “I’m not @ vagrant,” was the plea of a colored man named Major Newton, when arraigned in Judge Mills’ court this morn- ing. Major, who was well known to the officer, was well dressed and had nothing of the look of a vagrant about him. Po- liceman Potter, however, charged that he was under the influence of liquor Saturday night and was begging from house to house. “He would sing a song,” the officer said, “which concluded .with ‘Please don’t drive me from your door,’ and the money given him he spent in liquor saloons.” “I wasn't begging,” the prisoner told the court. “I was walking along the street a@inging to myself and a lady asked me to sing for her. A policeman told me there would be no harm in singing and so I ac- commoddated the ladies.” “At how many houses did you call?” “Only two.” Z wee penalty was $5 or fifteen days on the ‘arm. ge Falls From a Moving Car. Mrs. Kate Deskins, colored, living at No. 55 M street southwest, was severely injured about 7 o’clock this morning by a fall while getting off a car at Indiana avenue and 34 street.

Ps Julius Nord, 65 Years Old, Attempts Self- Destruction. LOSS OF WIFEAND PROPERTY Regrets That He Did Not Accom- plish His Purpose. WAS HIS SECOND EFFORT Julius Nord, sixty-five years old and tired 1of life, cut his throat about 6:30 o'clock E morning with suicidal intent, and is CUTS HIS THROAT sorry he did not succeed in his undertak- ing. The loss of his wife and his property and the excessive use of stimulants are the causes assigned for his conduct. Three years ago, while his wife was liv- ing, he tried to kill himself by cutting the vains in his arms, but prompt treatment stopped the hemorrhage and Julius was saved from death. “He's been here before,” was the remark of the nurse this morning, when the old man reached the hospital and was put on a cot. Julius Nord is a shoemaker by trade, and a shoe knife was the instrument he used on his throat this morning. Tae deed was ccmmitted at the home of the unfortunate man, No. 734 Sth street northwest. When he was seen at the door, with his throat cevered with blood, Policeman Simpson was called and he had him taken to we Nord, what have you been a neighbor ésked, when sh? saw doing? him walking to the wagon between two policemen. “If I could have found my razor,” he answered, with me.” Bereft of His Wife. Just two months ago the sho>maker fol- lewed the body of his wife to the grave. His only companion jeft was a small dog, for which he had refused $50. The grief- stricken old man thought a little liquor would put him in a condition of forgetful- ness, and so he indulged a little. He is a fine shoemaker, but between the hot weather and rum he soon neglected his business, and then hs found his money all gone. “Where is my dog?” he asked a neighbor. His pet had been given by him to a stranger for safe-k>eping, but to whom he had given it he could not tell. His neigh- bors were unable to help him to locate it. Then it became necessary for Julius to stop drinking or get another supply of cesh. His sorrows had not be2n complete- ly drowned, and he concluded he would get muore money, or, as he put it, “raise a stake.” This he did by disposing of some of his tcols, and afterward he told a friend he had also sold his stove. When b> got $10 he went up the river with two companions and the next morning he asked a neighbor for 10 cents. Makes a Threat. “Ten cents for what?” he was asked. I want to brace up and go back to work,” was his answer. “That's what you are always saying,” the neighbor told him. “I would rather throw the money in the sewer than give it to you. “See here, Julius,” the neighbor added, “the next thing you know you will be in the work house.” “And the next thing you know the old man, “I'll be found dead.” His statement wes not noticed, and in view of the event of three years ago his latest attampt at self-destruction caused no surprise. It so happened thet the in- jury inflicted this morning was no worse than that three years ago, and when he sobers up it is believed he will be all right. ——_— Heat Causes Death. George Engle, employed in the warehouse of the Moerlein Brewing Company, corner of North Capitol and D streets, was taken suddenly ill about 9 o'clock last night from the effects of the heat. He was attended by Dr, Custis, and was afterward taken to Providence Hospital by the police. When the ambulance reached the hospital the pa~ tient was dead. His body was removed to the morgue. The deceased was thirty-five years old. As his death resulted from natural causes, the coroner deemed an inquest unnecessary. “it would all have been over “Tam convinced Cleveland’s is the purest baking powder made, and I have adopted it exclusively in my cooking schools and for daily house- hold use.” SARAH T.

Randall's intention to close the River View excursion resort with today’s trips, but the numerous re- aqcests he has received and the continuance of the hot weather have determined him to make four more extra trips to the View this week, on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The day trips on Wednesda: Friday and Saturday will be family trips for the benéfit of the children, so that they can get out of town for a day’s outing be- fere the schools open, and the usual re- duced price tickets will be sold on that day.
