A PROFESSIONAL BEAT,
Incarceration Of A. D. Rockafellow

A man named A D. Rockafeilow, who has
become distinguished for his impudence and
iusinuating manners, has driven a land Office
business in this city for several months past,
passing bogus checks and receiving money
for whom he has promised to obtain positions.
He claims to hail from Georgia, where he
spent useful career in the State penitentiary.
An investigation of his life in this city shows
that he has resorted to every means to raise
money except work. His operations were sud
denly stopped Saturday, and probably his use
fulness in this city is at an end. One of his
victims was i woman named Fredericka Moser.
Rockafellow deluded her with the hope of OBJ
tanning q position under the Government,
which would pay her much better than the
position which she held. On the promise of
getting her an office Re received money from
her, and induced J er to leave her place, as he
said he could not get the Government position
while she was in Orher employ. Rockafellow,
after bleeding his victim all he could, lelG her
without obtaining the Office. A warrant was
sworn out charging Rocka:ellow with obtain
ing money under false pretepGes. He WIS ar
rested Saturday moi liug by Sergeant Acton
and taken before justice Mills, who continued
the case until to-morr2T-, and committed the
prisoner to Jail In default Of 81, 0Co bonds.
Rockafell0H has been dcfraudirg hotel-keer-
ers, landladies, clerks and merchants for
long time, but this victim is the first that has
had courage to prosecute him. His common
boast is his influence in getting people into
office, and his common currency is bogus
checks.

FRACTURING HIS SKULL.
Effects of a Blow from a Stone

A colored man named VIM. jackson, alias
Alfred Gray, was arrested last Friday after
noon by Officer Fifeld, charged with stealing
apples and cantaloupes from the farm of Enoch
Ray, near Fort Slocum, in the county. When
the officer, with his prisoner, arrived in front
of the county house, located on Sew
enth street, near the Boundary, the latter
leaped from the wagon, and made an effort to
effect his escape. Chase was given, the po-
liceman being Joined by a number of citizens
in the pursuit, and the prisoner was finally re-
captured in an alley on F, between Sixth AMI
Seventh streets. He was taken back to the
station and locked up. Early Saturday morn
ing the turnkey in making his rounds, rousing
the prisoners to prepare for their journey to
the pol &c court, found that jackson had taken
much longer trip, and died sometime
during the night.
Coroner D. C. Patterson was notified, and
held an inquest. The testimony developed the
feet that during the pursuit of the prisoner by
Flied a citizen was called to his aid, who, in
defending himself from an assault, threw a
stone, which struck the prisoner, fracturing
his skull and causing his death.
Tie jury returned a verdict that deceased
came to his death from q stone in the hands OF
| Peter Downs, without malice, wilhelm pursuit
| of him, q fugitive from justice, acting under
| the directions of Police Officer Fifeld. The
body was turned over to the father OF Eding-

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
A satchei-Grabber in Custody.

Detectives McElfresh and McDevitt have for
the past week been on the outlook for the COL
ored man that grabbed a satcheI, containing
money and clothing, from the hands of Miss
Belle SOmers on the night of the LIST inst. 1t
was near midnight and she was on her way
home from the depot, and on reaching the
corner of Thirteen-and-a half and streets
northwest the man stepped out, laid large and
violent hands on the satchel, pulled it away
from the owner and made off. Last Saturday
evening, after satisfying themselves of being
right, the detectives took into custody col
ored fellow named Charles Butler, who loudly
proclaimed his innocence of the deed. Miss
SomeIs was invited to the Central guard-hoHse
to confront the man, and she was positive that
he was the individual who grabbed her prop
erty. As there is a difference of opinion be-
tween the two as to the identity, acting Judge
Mills will render decision in the case to-day.

THE RAIN,
Damage by the Water,

The weather prophets who have been pre-
dieting storm for the past month felt good
SAt4rlay night when the clouds gathered and
food of rain burst upon the city. Consider
.,,o --"aIe was done in different parts of the
city by flooding.
The cellar of house No. 2G5 G street north
west, occupied by j. G. Resinger as bakery,
was flooded during the night, destroying
quantity of sugar in barrels and several bar
rels of -four, also damaging the building TO
Tie amount OF 500.
At the corner of c and First streets north
west the pavement was torn up by the rain.
The embankment at the east end of street
was washed away, leaving a very dangerous
place. The sidewalk on street, near Seven
teeth, was washed away.
Tie foundations of two houses in course of
erection on X street, between Twentieth and
Twenty-first streets were washed away, and
the woodwork fell in.
In GEORGETOWN the water settled in several
places and formed quite extensive ponds. Atthe
corner of Market and Sixth streets, where the
street has been filed in, a lake quite ten feet
deep was formed, and two frame houses, be-
longing 10 colored people, were flooded up to
the height OF the second story.
FLOODED STATION.
The rain also flooded the First precinct
station house, which is in an unprotected con
dition from the effects of a shower of more
than ordinary severity. The rain at an early
stage of the storm completely flooded the
basement where the cells are located, making
it necessary to remove the occupants-four
prisoners and two lOdgcrs-up into the sitting
room, where they were kept Until the flood
subsidized. The same operation was gone
through with some three times yesterday.
This condition of affairs is likely to occur at
any time, opening 4 channel through which
cuiprits might escane from t tie safe-keeping of
the officer in charge, while it keeps the cells
in damp and unhealthy condition. 1t is
matter that demands speedy attention.
DANGEROUS BREAK.
During the storm of Saturday night dan
eerous break was made in the sewer emptying
into the James Creek canal, near Virginia ave-
nue., Half and South Capitol streets, causing
q portion of the arch to give way.
FELL IN SEWER.
Yesterday evening, about $50 o'clock, while
some boys were playing about an open sewer
on the corner of Thirteen and-a-half and G
streets southwest, one of them, named Don
ley, seven years of age, son of Mr.. John Don
lev, who resides on the same corner, fell in,
and would have been drowned had it not been
for the prompt assistance of one of his COM
panions, named James Cochran, who pulled
him out of the water, which was over his
head, thereby saving him from a sad and un-
timely fate.

A New Mustard Plaster

The medical value of mustard plaster is
understood in every family. Much time is
spent in preparing a poultice, and sften the
mustard is of poor quality and will not act,
causing great suffering. This trying incon-
venience is now perfectly overcome by Benson's
Prepared Mustard Plaster. 1t is a great i'm
provement on the ordinary article. 1t is very
clean, and can be applied and removed without
discoloring the clothing or soiling the skin.
1t does not deteriorate with age. 1t is always
reliable, as only the best quality Of mustard is
used in its preparation. 1t is ready for use at
any moment by simply dipping it in water.
1t is sold in half yard pieces, at 25 cents per
