The two youthful deserters from tho Unitod
States Navy wero turned over to tho naval au-
thoritles yesterday afternoon. 1t Is reported
that seventeen boys in all deserted from tho
jamestown.
Mrs. Mary Sutton, wife OF Harbormastcr sut.
ton, has been seriously sick for long time.
Complaint Is often made about tho street.
cars being obstructed at tho intersection of
Virginia avenue and Seventh street by freight
trains lying across the tracks. 1t is q common
occurrence for the trains TO bo on tho tracks as
long as ten minutes, when there Is an abund-
nnce OF room elsewhere for them to bo coupled.
Tho boys still continue their reckless habits
OF mounting the trains passing along Yir-
ginia and Maryland avenues, especially after
dark, and doubtless before long the residents
VIII be shocked with eome dreadful accident.
Tho urchins think nothing of leaping upon
passenger train running at tho ratio OF ten or
fifteen miles an hour.
The residents in the vicinity OF Thirteenth
and ID streets were startled last night about
o'clock by piercing screams and cries Of muir
der from woman. Several gentlemen pro-
ceeded TO the locality, but the cries wero sud
denly hushed. 1t is supposed that a notorious
wife-beater OF tho vicinity was indulging In
ono OF his matinees.
The sidewalk on Fourand-ahalf street, be.
| tween @ and d streets, is In very dangerous
condition. A new sewer was recently placed
| under the walk, and, the ground being loose
and improperly packed, sank over foot,
| making walking for pedestrians after dark
very unsafe and causing n serious obstruction
| TO merchants doing business along tho street.
1t Is supposed that the sewer-pipo has broken,
for the vile odors emitting from the spot are al
most unbearable and are a source of great ap-
prchension to residents OF the locality. The
authorities would do commendable act to
nay lmmedi late attention TO tho place,
