HUCKSTERs GOING FOR THE COM.
MISSIONFRS.

As an evidence Of the loose manner In
which affairs have been conducted by the Dis
trict government, 1t has come to light that the
license ($25) hitherto required Of hucksters, Of
whom there are some three or four hundred in
the District, has been illegally collected for
the past two or three years, there being no
authority Of law for the imposition OF any
such license. The District Commissioners,
some two weeks after granting a number Of
licenses this year, discovered their mistake
and refused to grant any more, but they did
not refund the money Of those-some two
hundred in number-who had already obtained
their licenses, which is q peculiar hardship
Those whose money had already been paid In
yesterday went In body to the office oi
Mcssrs. Browne and Mcconnell and retained
them to prosecute suits against the District
government for the recovery Of the money
paid in on account of license.

A POLICEMANs NIPPERs.

George Mantz was tried yesterday In the 20
lice Court on the charge Of the larceny OF OH
Ger Dunnigan's nippers. 1t appeared In the
evidence for the prosecution that Dunnigan
missed his nippers the morning after his
trouble with Mantz, June 10 Afterwards,
out warrant for him. When Mantz was on
his way to the statiOn-house under arrest last
Saturday night he was seen by several officers
70 slip something out Of his pocket and he
tween the band Of his trousers. At the station
the nippers fell out of his trousers leg upon
the floor. The defense did not deny that
hantz had the nippers, but had several wit
nesses to show that they were picked up IN
the street after the scuffio by William Curran,
who subsequently gave them to Mantz at his
request Mantz made no secret OF the posses
sion of the nippers. Attorney Miller en-
deavored to impeach the veracity OF the wit
nesses for the defense, but the Court held that
the evidence would not sustain the charge OF
larceny The fact that Mantz frequently said
that he had Dunngans uppeis was sufficient
10 show that he had neither feloniously taken
nor intended to convert them 10 his own USE.
The charge was dismissed When MautY wa,
arrested q pistol was found in one Of his
pockets and tf charge OF carrying concealed
weapons was also preferred against him. Thi'
case was continued until Friday.
