THE ATTENTION of our readers Is called to the
card OF Mr.. II. f. Ofiiey, on the first page OF to-
days paper. Mr.. o. has opened an Office and
auspices, and all he asks is an inquiry on the
pant OF the public as to his advantages he pos
sesses for doing all business committed to his
hands. II he can make 1t the interest OF his
customers to deal with or through him he asks
and expects their patronage; otherwise not.
This is fair, and shows willingness to be
judged by results rather than promises.

THE CHARGE OF INDECENT ASSAULT AGAINST
CAPT. JOSE X. PEABODY.-This afternoon Ia the
Police Court Capt. Jose X. Peabody was ar
raigned on the charge OF Indecent assault On
years OF age, and Mr.. w. Fl. Bailey appeared for
him. The first witness was Special Officer Nc
COrmfck, who testified that on Saturday even
ing he saw two girls in the Smithsonian grounds
and this man appeared to be acting suspicious
ly.. Witness watched him and noticed that he
walked off, and at the same time called one OF
the girls to come on. Witness and his partner
followed them, witness creeping In the
grass: and saw defendant take indecent
liberties with her. Special Officer Dowen
The girl Anna Newman testified that she was
not yet twelve years of age, and lived on ~

day, when he peckoned to her and another little
girl, and they went to him, when he took hold
Of her and promised her 10 cents, making a

by all In the room. and stuck we'll
The accused was placed on the stand, and testi-
fed that on Saturday he was at Wizards; went
to the grounds, where he went into clump OF
trees, and while there, two girls came along
and asked him for money, and he told them to
60 away. He was next arrested by Officer Nc
Cormick, as he supposed for creating nui-
sance, and he, at that time, did not see any
girls or anyone else. He denied positively that
he spoke to the girl or touched her. The Court
said that he would shock the morals of the COM
munity, II he did not impose the utmost pen
atty, and he therefore sentenced him to six
months in jail. An appeal was noted, and
bonds fixed at $500.

In an article On the death of W. II. Meads
who was found hanging in the woods on Blag-
den's farm, on Monday. as heretofore described
in the STAR, the Baltimore Sun Of to-day says
the family OF Mr.. MeaGS in this city refuse to

went to California six years ago With his wife
and two children, and settled at st. C1a.r. fifty
John W. Meals Is sim living. The deceased
engaged pr0ftabiy Ia work at the mines About
nve years ago his wife eioped from him, taking
ner enlldren with her. and for time the huS-
band was much depressed, but had since recov-
eIed MS usual spirits. His mother died short
Time ago, and he determined to come home.

he left for the east, and how much money he
had about him. George w. Meads, although
believing his brothers body Is the one found in

he states that the suspender which was at

and that the sapnng was bent over so the mans
legs were spread upon the ground, and to have
banged himself he would have been compelled
