The poultry show was the centre Of attrac.
tion In the city yesterday. Crowds upon
crowds hocked thither throughout the day.
Such show is rathera novelty IN the District,
and is unusually attractive, especially to ladies
aud children. The general cry is, I'm so glad
l came" and one lady,who was completely car
ried away with admiration, heaped the highest
encomiums upon the exhibition She had, in
her own words, always before thought a hen
was hen aud nothing more, never dreaming
that such variety existed upon the face Of
the earth. There were new additions yester-
day, and the managers have now got just about
rs many as they know what TO do with, the
hall being too small to hold more. Among the
new arrivals were q pair of white Georgia
game, which are very handsome birds. All
who wish to see poultry and pigeon show
complotc--wh1ro each aud every variety Of
breed shape aud color are exhibited-should
not fail to visit Masonic Hall this week. No
one should lose the opportunity of watching

hibited by DIR. Evans, and a coop Of silver

THE RIVAL SCdVENG ERS.
Justice James Releases Carter-A Saving
CLAUSE.

Clause.
Justice James yesterday delivered his de.
cisou In the habeds corpus case of Francis
Carter, involving the right of parties other
than the regular contractor to perform scaven-
ger work in the District. Carter, who was
formerly foreman Of the Odorless Excavating
Company, after the contract was given to Mr..
Draney, undertook to continue the work
charging less for the service than tho
regular contractor. Carter was placed
under arrest charged with violating
the old corporation ordinance governing
scavengers in the District, which, as the au-
thoritiCs construed Il, gave the Commissioners
full power to let this work out by contract,
the contractor to have exclusive control of the
service. The case was taken before the courts
on hdJeos cor Hs, and Justice James yesterday
ordered the release of Carter, and by his rul-
ing decided that there could DO no monopoly
of the scavenger service under the law. In
his opinion Justice James referred to the fifth
section Of the old city ordinances tuuder which
Carter was arrested), which says, That it
shall be unlawful for any person whatever,
except scavenger appointed by this corpora.
ton, to clean out" SC. He then referred to
the abolition Of the corporations Of Washing
ton aud Georgetown in 1871 ANA the snbse-
quent acts of the legislature providing for
scuvengers, defining their duties and repeal
lug all ac,s inconsistent Herewith. The
justice held that the words appointed by this
corporation" made the old ordinance incon-
sistent with the new act and involved its re-
peal and therefore Carter could not be held
under IL.

A Tramp's Revenge.

a few days ago one of the seedicst
sort of tramps, seemingly about fifty
years old, attached to free lunch saloon
on Monroe avenue and soon tclt perfect
y at home. When ordered out he went
out, but the trouble was he wouldn't STAY
out. AS Il last resort he was kicked ont
but i'll an hour he came back and seemed
so humble and forgiying that the ,ro-
prletor didn't like to give him any more
cowhlde After a day or two n different
plan was tried The wag had several
times referred to Il pain in his chest. and
the bar keeper mixed him up Il cure.
In ten minutes after drinking it he was
cNcitedly Informed that he had been piy-
en- large dose OF morphine by mistake.
y party was at hand to play doctor, and
IT was decided that the tlamp must walk
until he oyercame the influence of tLc
dlUg. One and another took turns with
him until he had put in about four hours
IN the back yard, and he was then told
TO walk INTO the country at least TO make
ms cure sure. lie took the case very
coolly, never protesting Il word, and as
he started for the green fields il was Slp-
posed that the saloon had seen the last
of him, Nevertheless he returned in
about four hours lame in the left leo
covered with dust and apparently almost
exhausted. He said he walked in vain
Finding that death was determined to

Dr. Unser's Cure for Drunkenness.

The claims of Dr. Ungcr for rem
edy for curing intcmperance would seem
to be justified. if we may rely upon rs
good authority as the CN;cago Tti6une
for the evidence. Mr. Joseph Medill.
The editor. is said to be a strong en-
dorscr OF the new remedy. and from the
| editorial commentators of it in the col
ms OF the Iribtne we conclude the
remedy has produced some benefit to the
community already. II is claimed that
the doctor has cured 2S.00O persons of
the worst form of intemperancc with it.
and that this is the first remedy ever dis
covered that kills the disease and the in
cIlnation TO drink at one and the same
time.
Icmedy.-Take one pound of best.
fresh, quill red Peruvian bark. powder
1t, and soak it in one pint of diluted al-
cohol. Afterwards strain and evaporatc
it down TO half a pint Directions for
MS use: Dose--a tcaspoonful every three
hours the first and second day. and occa-
Sionally moiStcn the tongue between the
doses 1t acts like quininc, and the pa
tlcnt can tell by a headache if he is gct
ting too much. The third day take as
previous, but reduce the dose to one-half
teaspoonlul. Afterward reduce the dose
to fifteen drops, and then down to ten.
and then down to five drops To make
a cure, it takes from five TO fifteen davs
and in extreme cases thirty days. Seven
days are about the average in which Il
cure can be effected.
