Local Matters.
LAW AND Timothy Buckley was
arrested yesterday morning upon a charge pre-
ferred by ID. Malone, to the effect that he had
forged the name of said Malone to an order on
George Stultz for ffty-two dollars; but, upon the
testimony Of witness who stated that he had seen
Malone append his n mark to the note, Justice
Dom dismissed the case. warrant was then
issued by Justice D., Mt the instance Of Buckley,
we believe, against Malone, for committing per-
jury in this case. Malone then procured war
rant to be Issued against Buckley, for an attempt
to rob him of one hundred and twenty dollars, on
the first of February. Immediately after he had re-
ceivcd that at the counter of one of the banks
in this city. These two cases will be tried before
Justice Morsell, Monday next, at 10 o'clock, a.
m, who will cut bad figure. and disappoint SAN
guinc expectations if he does not succeed in con-
dcmning some of the parties to death or imprison-
ment for life The counsel in all these cases are
Smith for Malone, and Morgan for Buckley.
SWEEPING CHMNEys-Who has ever looked
without pity upon "poor little sweep?' We never
have and we never have pited him without an ear
nest wish that il was in power to rescue him
from his wretched occupation He may be as happy
many other little ebonics who do not climb Chin
neys and wear sooty blankets, but cannot think
him So His sable uniform looks like the sslivery of
wo,'' and we think he always grows thin and lank
after inhaling the dust of the chimney for little
while, though we do not know what observant SAN
atory examiners have to say upon this subject.
We yesterday man-one Mr.. Henry
Smart-who had something to do with this bust
ness in England; but he states that in 1910 patent
machine was presented to the attention Of Parlin-
ment, who authorized it's adoption in 1912, giving
two years. time to the persons then engaged in the
chimney cleaning business to prepare for retiring
from it. MIR. Smart informs US that he has brought
with him to this city machine modelled after that
spoken Of and is prepared to introduce it into gen.
eral use, provided the people of Washington will
encourage him in the effort He states that he will
clean chimneys better than by the present mode,
that the interior of houses will be from the
epread Of SCOT and dust, and that need
cend either inside outside Of the chimney. We
hope Mr.. Smart's proposition may be favorably
considered by our worthy Mayor and other cit
zens that he may have their attention while he
tests his plan, and that if successful in his expert
mcnts, his humane enterprise may be richly re-
wardcd by the patronage of our people.
Ma. G. vANpENHorr's FAREWELL "EvENING.''-
We cannot allow this occasion to pass without
eating Evenings with Sheridan deserve much
larger audience than has yet witnessed them. We
have seen, on each evening, at Carusis Saloon,
many persons Of fine taste and sound judgment;
but this evening we expect 70 see what alone re-
pays artist for his study and tho exertion of tai
ents of peculiar and remarkable order-a crowd.
Mr.. yandenhof's reading of the Critic, which,
with an excellent preliminary discourse, will form
the entertainment for the evening, is quite equal in
dramatic effect to any stage representation; audit
has the further advantage and attraction Of giving
US Sheridan . sparkling wit and pungcnt satire in
distinct manner to allow us time and oppor-
tunity fully to appreciate it, receiving it as we DO
from the lips Of artist who is deeply mbued with
its spirit, and has the skill to communicate his
enthusiasm to his auditory. We expect full and
elegant room TO- night; and we promise all who go
that they shall not be disappointed.
