A BIZ OF Interpleader by n Life Insur-
ance Company - Trial OF Supposed
Postofice Robber.
The Mutual Life Insurance company on
Saturday by Rutlcdge Wilson, filed bill of
interpleader against w. w. Post ct AL A pol
icy was issued on the life of Loyal Cowles in
favor of his wife and children in 1875, payable
three months after notice of death. Cowles
assigned the policy to Post, and soon after
Cowles and his wife died, leaving three chill
dren. Post demanded the money, but tho
children declared the claim invalid ON the
ground that they were married women when
they signed the paper and that their father
was of unsound mind and incapable of max
ing valid contract. The company ask that
they be permitted to pay the money into
court and that the defendants prove thesr
respective claims.
Frank Marmaduke Ellis was arrested on

robbed the postoftice at Culpeper, Va, Of
$500 worth of stamps. Ellis is about twenty
five years of age and Of good appearance
He had in his possession two gold watches

never been in Culpeper in his life, and that
somebody who looked like him" had COM
mtted the robbery. He was taken before
| Commissioner Mills, and before the case was
opened he was charged with having broken
open the postoffice at Rodamus, Preston
county, Va, on the twenty of April.

ncy, represented the government, and Mr..
John E. Norris, the defendant The Gull
pepper case was then taken up. ,

tered the postofice on June twentieth, and

LIABILITIES.
NATIONAL VS.. Hunters to-day at 4:3O.

The law as to the rights of pedestrians was
well explained by Judge Mills Saturday in
the case of Charles T. Barber, whom he fined
for driving over Miss Columbia Maloney and
breaking her leg in four places. Judge Mills
said that the testimony showed that the de-
fendant was crossing Seventh street and Penn
sylvania avenue with his team great deal
faster than he should. Tho roadways were
made for public accommodation, whether pe-
destrian, equestrian, bicycle, or vehicular,
and each of the parties using the different
modes of locomotion owed duty to the others
to use caution at street crossings. These were
made for foot passengers, who have absolute
right of way. He did not think that the de-
fendant intended to injure the lady, but was
driving at dangerous rate and seemed to
have no regard for the rights of foot passen-
gers. The fine was not intended as a measure
of the lady's injuries, but to indicate that pc
destrians have some rights that equestrians
are bound to respect

Judge Edmonds has suggested the follow
ing conditions to the Baltimore and Potomac
Railway company in response to their appli-
cation to lay sidings on the line of the old
canal, near Virginia avenue: "That the
railroad withdraw its engines and cars from
Maryland and Virginia avenues to the new
grounds proposed, owned by the district that
these grounds can be occupied by tho COM
pany on the annual payment of an interest on
fair valuation of the land occupied and the
taxes on the same, subject to removal at six
months notice at any time, and the terms
subject to the approval of congress-" In the
event tho railway company accepts the COM
missioners will require the crossings of the
streets to be protected by the automatic bars
in use by the Baltimore and Ohio company on
the streets in tho northeast section where its
tracks cross the streets.

Decayed AristOcrncy,

A six-foot German blacksmith, named
Stephonis Fryer, was arrested yesterday after
noon by Officers Wagner and Falvey, in the
vicinity of the old Carroll manor, on the
charge of vagrancy. When arrested he was
reclining in shady nook, putting away at a
large and unique looking pipe and apparently
getting all the enjoyment possible out of the
vicissitudes of tramp life and the strong to.
bacco he was smoking. His attire was rough
and patched while his feet were encased in a
pair of dilapidated rubbers, tied on with the
remnants of an old pair Of suspenders. Fryer
said that he had lost large fortune in Ger
many, and had come over to try and make
another one, but as luck was dead against him
he had been obliged to join the gang of turn
pike knights. He will appear before the po
lice court to-day.

q public tcltale much to the discomfort of
some who are addicted to late hours. In
fact IL might. prove good thing for those
spouses whose husbands or sons prefer the
club or worse places to their own homes at
night. As there is no patent on the idea,
the ladies can avail themselves of the sugges-
tion freely. In fact | do not see why it
would not be good idea TO organize com
pany for the special purpose of putting in
burglar alarms and connecting houses with
the police or other points whore watchmen
would always be on duty. A small annual
charge from each householder would pay
better than the telephone as there would DO
so many more who would avail themselves
of IL, and when once connected the expense
of keeping it up would be very small. l
have batteries which have been in use three
years without being touched except to put in

How to stop the Burglars.


If people could be at little expense and
pains, n vo,y large portion of the burglares
now perpetrated might be prevented, and
more especially in houses left vacant by the
absence of their owners during the summer,
Burglar alarms are now reliable institu-
ton, and are now within the reach of all per-
sons of moderate means. ~ IRE, or should
bo, 80 applied that no dOui indOw about
the premises can be opened without sounding
an alarm. Usually the alarm is set SO MS ia
arouse the head of the house inside, but |
suggest that, in addition to that, much
larger and louder bell should be SO arranged
that it can be connected by switch, when
ever the house is 10 be left unoccupied, sc
that the moment an attempt is made TO enter
the premises an alarm would be sounded that
could be heard throughout the neighborhood
If that were done, such robberies as that al
Mr.. Thompsons, on N street, would be i'm
possible. Indeed, such bell would be a
good thing even oh ordinary burglar alarms
Or it would be good plan to connect the
vacant house with bell in neighbor':
house. which would notify them the moment
nh entrance is attempted.
In the not far distant future 1t is quite
probable that wires will be so arranged
us that any person desiring to leave may
have his house connected direct with the
nearest police station, so that the police shall
be notified of the street and number the mo-
mcnt an attempt smade to enter the premises
Indeed there is no reason why every house
IN the city might not be so connected at all
times, day and night, OF course il would re-
quire systematic arrangement and the
wires should be run in pipes under ground
where they could not be interfered with Ly
burglars or other evil disposed persons,
/. that were done people would have to bC
careful how they retired at night leaving til,
alnt4n connected while members were still Ou
.ltli pightkeys. Us otherwise it would act al

JACKSON GROVE CAMP, Aug 5-To-day
being the first Sunday of tho camp many
more than the usual number are in attend
ance. Carriages, wagons, horse carts, &C.,
began to arrive at very early hour and
have continued to come in all day. The
morning trains from Baltimore and Wash
ington brought large crowds from those
cities intent on spending an enjoyable day in
the woods. BY 3 o'clock in the afternoon
there were fully 5000 people on the ground.
The weather has been all that could have
been desired. The only drawback to the
enjoyment of the day is the dust, which is
very bad, caused by the great crowd of people
continually traversing the walks.
The morning prayers were conducted by
Rev. b. f. Benson of Westminster Md. At
o'clock Rev. Mr.. Littlcton, of Star church,
Baltimore, carried on an experience meeting
This meeting was characterized by u deep
religious feeling, and the interest manifested
was so great that IL was deemed advisable to
resume il again at 1870 o'clock. Rev. III. G..
Cushing, of Hartford county, preached the
morning sermon from Acts 24-16 And
herein do exercise myself to have always a
conscience void Of offense toward God, and
toward men," This sermon was one of the
most solid and Thoughtful yet delivered dur
ing the camp and was listened to by some
| 1000 people with rapt attention.
Rev. w. NJ. Strayer, OF Chestertown Nd,
preached at 3 o'clock from first Timothy,
chapter iv, verses and 8. He set forth the
profit of bodily exercise as of great value in
all human relations of life--the means of
physical-all industrial advancement. But,
