TIE RIoHr or STREET Cans TO Pass
THROUGH Professionalism Monday last,
while the scholars OF Israel (colored) Sab
bath school were on their way to the Prcsi-
dents grounds to celebrate the 4th Of July
by picnic, the procession, marshaled by
Richard Tompkins, was driven through at
the corner Of Pennsylvania avenue and
Seventh street, by car No. 60 Of the Seventh
street line. II appears that the marshal, on
seeing tho car approach while the children
were crossing the street, requested the driver
to stop until the procession passed. This
the driver refused to do, remarking that he
pose, and consequently drove his car through
the line. Mr.. Tompkins then sued out a
warrant for the arrest Of the driver, (Frauk
Forrestcr,) and tho case was set for a hear
ing Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock before
Justice 4. l.. Schmidt, but owing to the alb
sence OF some OF the witnesses the hearing
was postponed until this morning. As the
case involves some nice law points, the re-
suit will be looked for with interest.
