TIE HACK STANDS.

TRIAL OF GEORGE BOYD FOR VIOLA
TON OF THE LAW.
Yesterday George Boyd was arraigned in the
Police Court on the charge of violating the hack
law. Oficer Ryan testified that he found de-
fendant about o'clock, in front Of the Arlington
hotel, in violation Of the order Of the District
Commissioners, who had fixed the hack stand on
Fifteen-and-a- half street. On cross-examinatiOn
the witness testified that the street in front of
the Lotel is very wide, and that there has always
been a hack stand there ever since it was hotel
until changed by the Board Of Public Works.
The defendant was represented by Judge Moore.
Mr.. Allison Nailor was sworn, VINO Jestlned that
Vermont avenue, in front OF the Arlington, is
over sixty feet wide: that the street had been a
hack stand ever since il was hotel: that Fifteen
and-a-haIG street is not over thirty feet. Mr. F.
A. Boswell testified that public convenience
would be materially increased by allowing the
hacks TO remain on Vermont avenue; he believed
twas an outrage on the part Of the pr0pTiotOrs
10 effect such monopoly as has been done by
this order.
Mr. A Il. Browne testified as to the manner in
which the hackmen kept the stand, speaking in
The highest terms of the cleanliness.
Mr.. Birney submitted the order OF the Commits
siOners, dated October u, transferring the hack
stand from the hotel to Fifteen and-s-half street.
The Court stated that 1t was a question whether
the act creating the office OF the District Commits
siOEeTs had conferred upon them the right Of leg
isIatiOn.
Counsel for defence said this was a point on
which he relied entirely.
The Court stated that it was question whether
or not the Commissioners had the same powers as
the Beard OF Public Works.
Counsel for defence cOntended that 1t was a
vested right belonging TO the ha;kmen, all Of
whom had paid their licenses as required by
law.
Mr. Birney said he would produce the law to
show ii at the Comm ssUncrs, as successors of the
Board OF Public Works, have the same powers as
had been conferred upon the latter.
Counsel for defence offered to prove that all
the property holders on Vermont avenue had re-
qUested 10y petition that the hackmen be allowed
10 return 10 then old stand on that avenue.
The further hearing was postponed until Sal
uTGay PCNT, at y o'clock.

that old men should keep near the shore, so that

close our eyes on this world to open them in the

CARROLL INSTITUTE.

A literary and musical entertainment of a
high order Of merit will be given this evening at
Carroll hall, in aid of the funds Of the above.
The institute has been in existence about thir-
teen months, and notwithstanding the many diff
culties with which the promoters had to contend,
it becomes their pleasing duty to announce that
their efforts, SO far, have met with the most CON-
plete success. The classes are all free, and COM
prise the following subjects for study viz: Latin,
French, German, mathematics, history, English
grammar, and photography, together with
primary classes in English grammar, history,
mathematics, &c, and presided over by gentle
men Of undaunted attainmTnts. The library con-
tains over 2C0OYOlumes, and all the leading news
papers and periodicals Of the day are received.
The institute lectures, which are free to the
public form most attractive feature. They are
delivered every Tuesday evening, and have been,
from the large numbers attending them, a most
gratifying succeSs. These lectures are delivered
alternately by the folio wing named distinguished
gentlemen: The Rev. DR.. White, Father Reane
and n. +. Morris, ESQ.,. Of the Washington bar;
and embrace the following subjects: History Of
the Church " History Of Philosophy" and the
" Relations between Law and Religion"
The institute recommends itself 70 the most
hearty approval OF the Catholics Of Washington,
and supplies want long felt by Catholic youth
and young men Of this city, forming, as Il does,
centre Of attraction for Catholic thought and the
discussion and furtheranee Of Catholic interests.
1t is therefore earnestly hoped that those who
have hithcrtOo stood BloOf will now generously
come forward and give It their cordial support.
