An Amuent Tramp.

Jacob Scherer was brought to Police
Headquarters this morning from the Fifth
Precinct station for an examination to test
his sanity. Scherer is an Irish laborer of
nearly forty years, and. has the ordinary APP
pearance of u tramp. He claims that he is
welded to an heiress who lives in Cincin-
natl and who, in her lavish charities, be-
slows about $50,000,000 annually on this
city with the desire to improve and beau
tify the Capital. He says he wishes to re-
turn to Ireland and as his wife refused to
give him the necessary funds he tramped it
from Cincinnati to Washington to compel
some of the people and institutions which
she had benefited to pay him sufficient
sum to pay his transportation, for he claims
that the bankers of this city owe several
million dollars to his wife, and on the
strength of this he has been bothcring the
capitalists for the loan ola quarter. Scherel
was sent across the river.

Constructing the sidewalks.

The law against Obstructing the streets is
not generally observed to the great discom-
fort of pedestrians. The Major of Police
issues q general order, and for a time his
men are vigilant, but soon thereafter the
surveillance of the police relaxes, and the
same old order of things prevails. Store
keepers, auctioneers and Others should be
made to feel through the medium OF the
Police Court that the sidewalks are not laid
down for the purpose of displaying goods
for sale. The general public have fee
simple in the sidewalks for the purpose of
free locomotion and for none other. In
this connection William Frazier and John
Abraham were fined S. or fifteen days in
the Police Court.
