"LUMn PEARSON CHARGED WITH Perjury
The case of Columbus, alias 'Lum" Pearson
charged with perjury came up for further hear
ing this morning in the Police Court. District
Attorney Coyle claimed that case had been
made out for action of the grand jury. Mr..
Darlington for defence claimed a dismissal of his
client on the ground Of a variance between the
allegations set forth in the warrant and the EVIL
dence before the court. Mr.. COyle claimed that
the warrant was immater1al, and upon the main
facts the case had been made out. The evidence
had fully sustained the charges. 1t will be
recollected that this charge grew out of the tes-
timony given by Pearson in a case Of charges of
disOrderly conduct against SturgiS and O'Brien.
The court sent the case to the grand jury, bonds
$500; remarking that the crime of false swearing
was much too common in this District. Here is
case when the penalty is but S5-a case of dis
orderly conduct. He thought the courts should
take cognizance of this evil which appeared to be
on the increase in our courts.

operations in progress there Much yet remains
to be done to put the premises in good condition
for the fair. The permanent structures are
nearly completed, so far as outside appearances
are concerned, excepting the club house and res
taurant on the hill. No one was allowed to
enter these buildings yesterday. Work on the
grand stand is in progress, and the stables are
nearly ready for stock. One good feature is the
water supply, which is being attended to. Water
Is to be conveyed from spring discovered west
OF the club house, the water to be conveyed
through pipe to tank on the grounds At a

TRANSFERS ON THE w. & G. STREET RAILROAD
The Washington and Georgetown railroad COM
pany have adopted the mode Of transfer in
vogue by the Metropolitan railroad, and at its
functions parties alighting from the cars to con-
transfer agent. 1t is claimed that for years there
has been quite business done in transfers, by
newsboys and bOotblackS receiving them and
swapping them off, and that some parties attend
ing the Center market regularly met and eX-
changed transfers, thus obtaining a round-trip

TEN this will be obviated.

TIE CoLoRED EXODUS Larger Emigration
in the Spring Erpected.-A telegram from st.
Louis, MO-, Oct. 10, says:-The coIored refugees
relief board organized here about six months
ago to aid destitute cOlOred emigrants from the
SOUTH has made report Of its transactions.
The treaS,rerS report shows that the receipts
have been $S,5S1, and the disbursements So 239
leaving the board 1868 in debt. Besides this, the
commissary committee has issued over 10000
rations and distributed over 10000 pieces of
clothing among the refugees, which goods are
estimated to have been worth about $12, 900.
The report says that about twenty per cent.
OF the refugees are still destitute, in
some cases sick and superannuated, and
even blind, and requiring constant help.
The committee on transportation report having
sent 6,311 men, women and children to Kansas
and other states. The exodus still continues,
and although greatly diminished the arrivals
average 20 to 80 families per week. The move
ment is not now confined to Mississippi and
Louisiana, but is spreading, a majority Of the
recent arrivals having come from Alabama and
Tennessee. Their condition is much improved,
many being well prepared for the journey. In
formation has been received that the exodus
would assume larger proportions than ever next
spring. AdviceS from Tennessee and Northern
Alabama say relief boards are being organized
there, which will cooperate with the board here
and render what assistance they can.

A MOTHERS FATAL MIsTAKE.-Coroner Nolan
terday touching the death of Gilbert q. Young,
boy of six years. who was poisoned through a
terrible mistake on the part OF his mother. 1t
appears that the child had been suffering from
diphtheria and was under the care of doctor
who prescribed frequently for the patient at the
latter's residence, No. 81 Chauncey street. On
Wednesday night Mrs. Young, the mother OF the
child, went to the closet in which the medicine
prescribed for him was usually kept By mis-
take she picked up bottle which contained car
bolc acid instead of the medicine of which he
had been partaking. She poured a small guam
tity of the fatal liquid into glass and the child
partook of it. Almost Immediately the poison
threw the little patient into great agony, In
ton OF which time he died. A physician WAS
promptly summoned, but his services were un-
awaiting. The mothers grief upon the dis
cOvery of the terrible mistake she had made was
heartrending-[N: = Herald. 1871.

THE TERMINI OF INDIAN SUMMER.-The In
dian summer this year promises to be of unusu-
ally long duration, for OF its two boundaries, the
pheIfc wave, the former has occurred uncOm-
monty early. The prevailing uncertainty re-
garding the date Of Indian Summer results from
the variability OF Its termini; since the rains
which precede it, often called the equinoctial
storm, or the fall of rains, are sometimes concen-
trated within the last fortnight Of September
October, while the November cold wave, averag-
ing the first week in November, Is sometimes
several weeks late and sometimes falls on the
last week OF october. Last year it reached New

They came down from Yorkvle, that festive

where the free lunch is one of the lost arts.
Nevertheless on the principle,
You may break you may shater the vase II you will.
But the scent OF the beer will hang round II STILL,
they came here on business connected with
beer case in the Circuit Court. Now there are
few towns in this world that sell worse whisky
than Yorkville. The man who was struck by
lightning and went up to the bar and laid down
his ten cents therefor, came from Yorkvlle. or
course, upon such men Ottawa ~" has a democrat
izng influence from its very innocence, and oc-
casionally ends in headaches. They had a head
ache, headache as big cart wheel. And
that afternoon, Notwithstanding Davis's Argu-
ment for the Defendant, they stood ready to make
affidavit with Bob Ingersoll that there were ACT
bells on earth and no hereafter. A mineral bath
at the spring was recommended. 1.-THE very

wonderful virtues Of Il mineral spring bath.
And away they marched for the spring. They
stopped at the platform on the river bank where
the water flows in generous stream from the
pipe through the boards making q luxurious
shower bath THIS evidently was the place al
luded to by their informant. 1t struck them, how
ever, that the blinds ought to be pulled downs
but blinds seemed scarce. This objection was
dismssedb by the thought that the property doesn't
pay large dividends though of course the absence
of clothesh hooks was certainly inexcusable. New
ertheless they deposited their clothes on ''hick.
DRY limb" and in the garb of nature sat down to
let the water trickle over them. 1t was a NIGH
ty tough job-ths bathing, when even a stoma.
chic shower bath would have caNsed an ague,
but they stood it like men until Thompson APP
peared and in voice like thunder (all the "heavy

"This is no garden of Eden, you reprobates You
can't be gadding around here without fig leaves,
or words to that effect! Take a dive or III
run you in" And they took one. Long got both
legs of his under-unmcntonables in one leg, while
his friend insisted if he had ten pairs of hands he
could have found use for them. And they got
back to town by back street looking as though
struck by lightning. When they were at last
settled down at jays, Long swore, 'There, dash
it. that's the first bath I've attempted since was
a boy and dash it if pll try another soon"
"Amen," said number two. "Put some pepper
