James Callahan Cuts His Own Thooc* With a Razor. James Callahan, aged thirty bricklayer by trade, living at No. street northwest, attempted to commit sui- cide at 12:15 o'clock this afternoon by cut- ting his throat with the blade of a safety razor. He was taken to the Emergency Hospital, where it was thought he would probably die before night. It is stated that Callahan had been drink- ing for some days, and while suffering from the effects early this morning jumped out of a second-story back window of his home in a partly undressed condition. He was discovered by Policeman Ready and taken back into the house, where it was found he was not injured. About 11 o'clock Callahan's two sisters, with whom he lived, found that it would-be necessary for them to be absent from home for awhile, and they called in James Dent, colored, to look after their brother. Shortly after the departure of the ladies CaNahan told Dent that he would go up- stairs for a little time, but his stay was so long that Dent became alarmed and pro- ceeded to investigate. Upon reaching the door of the room to which Callahan had gone Dent found it locked. He then hur- ried out in the strect, where he met Officer Thomas Hanley, and told him of his fears. The policeman procured a ladder and by means of this discovered Callahan lying “on the floor of the room with his throat cut almost from ear to car and the blood flowing from it in a frightful manner. —__.—_—_ Marriage Licenses.

Con KING'S Two Establishments Attracting En- tertained Crowds. The large crowds that vjsited King’s Pal- ace, Nos. 812 and S14 7th street, and its branch at No. 715 Market.space, at the fall opening of the popular establishment today attested the apprecfation of {he public in the business methods which have always characterized the policy, cf the firm. No better illustration eduld be afforded of this appreciation than the stibstantial way in which the numerous; bargains offered were taken advantage of... The, display of novel- ties in the dry goods, millinery and other departments showed: the latest designs and most fashionable patterns, and the reason- able prices put upon the vast variety of articles added greatly to,thelr attractive- ness. It would be well nigh impossible to enumerate the numerous advantages to purchasers affordediat King’s Palace. One of the great advantages at the King’s Pal- ace, in both establishments, is the fact that everything is on the first floor. > Gov. Smith Much Improved. SANTA MONICA, Cal., October 3—Gov.

Three Arrests in the Fifth Precinct, Conviction Following in Each Case—Schoolboys Caught. Following the clever piece of work done by Detective Hartigan in apprehending John Brown for sounding false alarms of fire, the police in the precincts investigated similar cases Saturday night, and yester- day met with success. In the fifth police Precinct, in Southeast Washington, where alarms 518 and 519 had been pulled so many times for no reason whatever, Police. men Marshall and Dent succecded in mak- ing three arrests. They were young color- ed men, named John Magruder, Perry Barnes and Edward Williams. The officers caught them in the act of turning in the alarm about 2:30 o'clock yes- terday morning. It is stated that the ng men had stopped working about 2 o'clock and were on their way home at the time. Magruder, it is stated, was under the influence of liquor? and he also had an extra supply of liquor in his pocket. Dur- ing the investigation of the case it was alleged that Magruder had committed simi- lar offenses on two previous occasions, but the proof did not sustain these charges. The Judge's Comments. Judge Scott heard the case this morning. Magruder admitted the charge, so far as yesterday's case was concerned. One of the other defendants, he said, told him to pull it. Commenting on the case, Judge Scott said that the turning in of a false alarm disturbs the whole city and arouses the police and firemen, as well as causing a heavy expense to the District. It was his intention to impose severe penalties and put a stop to the practice, if possible. The defendants were thereupon fined $40, with a term of four months on the farm each in default of payment. After Magruder’s conviction and sentence to jail it was learned that he was suspect- ed of turning in two other false alarms and he will be tried on this charge tomor- row. Another violator of this law tried was George Mason, colored, twelve years old. Freeinet Detective MeGlu> and Po iceman Burrows arrested the boy on two charges and he admitted his guilt. “Do you ow what you mean when you say guilt Mr. Pugh asked the boy wy, .” he answered; ‘1 pulled the s me white it,” he arswered. stood and they ran ew The boy said he told me to-do ill afterward J attended the Stevens school fer three years, and Mr. Pugh told him he should have known better.

Upon Harlow’s informa- ticn Pell Vancerschaaf afterward ar- rested George Maurshauer. Both young men were released Cn $200 security. They will be tried Wednesday morning. John Brown, the first-uamed offender, Saturday afternoon paid the s:cond fine of $40 imposed upon him. <_ IN GEORGETOWN, News Items Gathered in Territory West of Rock Creek. Rev. Angelo Hall, A.
