THE CONSERVATIVE ARMY AND NAVY
JNION.-On Saturday night, the Conservative
ARMY and Navy Union held a special meet
ing at the National Union headq uarters. Col
James A. Tsit in the chair and Capt. G.. W
Rudyard secretary. The new band of the as
sCciation, Capt. Ran leader. and Mr.. Spauin
director, was present and discoursed appro-
pirate music The revised constitution was
taken up and discussed, but before taking ac-
ton thereon its further consideration was post
pOIed. II was argued thai no change was pro-
posed as 10 the political character OF the asso-
CIation, but the care of the soldiers and sailors
and their widows and orphans was provided
Tor in the new constitution.
BALL-PLAYINGO ON THESABBATH We have
several complaints of bail playing on the Sab
bath in different parts of the city. Rowdy bows
and young men congregate in gangs disturbing
whole neigh bOIhOods by their elamor and pro-
family. There is a law against such practices.
but it does not seem TO be enforced. The law
reads as follows:-'And be IL enacted, that II
shall not be lawful for any person persons
10 play the game OF football, or any other game
with ball, handy. or any game by which a
ball, stone, or other substance is struck or pro-
PEELED by stick or cane, in any avenue, alley,
or street in the city of Washington, under n
penalty of not less than one dollar for each
and every Ofense."
THE METEORIC DIsPLAY.-SeveraI cities
have already taken measures TO have the bells
rung when the expected free ex hi oItion of Rro-
lites commences this week. and we presume
that course Will be generally adopted Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, and other cities
have made their arrangements, and Baltimore
New York. and others, have the matter under
consideration. If the affair comes off accord
ing TO programme, and is half grand and
awe-inspiring as the display OF 1893, IL will be
an event which but few of the present genera
ton will be likely 70 witness again.
VIOLATING CORPORATION ORDINANCES IN
THE THIRD WARD.-GeOrge Carter was ar
rested Friday by officer Roth for occupying
two stands in market without paying fol- both
Justice Thompson fined him So.
Officer Thompson arrested John Bennett for
selling liquor without license. J Justice Thomp-

John II. Brown, eoIored, was arrested this
morning by Mr.. Lylss, clerk of the Center
Market, and turned over 10 officer Taylor, at the
Central Guardhouse, for forestalIIng the mar
ket by buying fruit IN the market TO sell again
al his store.
BASE 1NGRATITUDE.-OA Friday night 4
suit of clothes and about $40 in money was
taken from the residencs of Mr.. George MeEl-
fresh, near I'd and q streets. Recently Mr.
Nc Elfresh has been supporting young man
al his table through kindness, and on returning
home Friday night found that his guest had
unceremoniously departed, taking with him
his hosts clothes this best suit and money
and leaving nothing in return except old
suit OF clothing fit only To serve a reminder
OF his base ingratitude.
FIRE-Last night, at las O'Clock. fire was
discovered In a frame stable on NJ street SOUTH
between Sd and Attn streets east, owned by w
Woodward. The alarm was given from box
No. = corner OF Sd and l. streets south, by Or
ncer Gordon. The fremen were promptly on
the ground, but the stable was entirely de
sroyed, as the combustibie material OF which
It was constructed was consumed too rapidly
10 admit OF the efficient service of the appara-
tus. IL is supposed that the stable was fired
by an incendiary Loss about $500.
CONTRARY TO LAw.-Saturday night the
police OF the Seventh Ward arrested Henry
Clay. Robert Mahoney, VIM Lee, aud Andrew
Hllman, Tor violating city ordinance by
giving ball without a license. They were
fined s. by Justice Handy. Few Of the re-
Gently constituted citizens of African descent
are aware OF the fact that they are required to
have license To give q ball. but the case re-
ported will be SUN cient notification for ALI
the eolored ball goers in that section of the
city.
lsDECKNT ExPosURE.-Saturday night OFF,
GERS hardwood and Straub, ofthe Third Ward
arrested John Jones and George Williams for
indecent exposure. The prisoners were fined
50 each by Justice Thompson. The frequency
or such arrests argues favorably for the police
but very much against the deceRcy of the par.
ties arrested. We are glad to learn that fe w of
the parties arrested, within six months past
received their training in the DISTRICT
