SPEAKER KEIFER BY 81 WASH
- IN0FoN NEWSPAPER MEN.

WASHINGTON, March Ga meeting of
newspaper correspondents was held Monday
afternoon 10 express their indignation over
the treatment received by them from Speaker
Keifer Saturday night in regard to the adj
mission Of members Of the families and
friends to the gallery Of the House, to the
great inconvenience, and, in many instances,
entire exclusion Of correspondents. The
conduct censrred consisted in the refusal oil
the Speaker to afford journalists the right
secured to them by the standing rule OF the
House, and the alleged snubbipg manner in
which the refusal was expressed. The Ian
gusge of the refusal was characterized as not
only grossly impolite, but blasphemous in
character concerning the press; it was also
said that the Speaker refused to recognize
Mr.. Burrows for the purpose of moving to
clear the gallery and allow the correspond
cuts to proceed with their usual work. In
reply to these resolutions Spesker Keller
furnishes a lengthy card for publication, de-
nyipg the charges contained in the above
resolutions.

PARIS, March 6.-The majority by which
the motion of Ciemenceau TO adjourn until

THE DETECTIVES
How n BunISo steerer Got Fooled and
Captured-AnOther Case OF Extortion.

How n BunISo Steerer Got Fooled and
Captured-Another Case OF Extortion.
Does n bunko steerer always steer? is n
query which can be applied to William Brax-
tom alias "Wash," who caught on to" Act
ing Detective Edelin, yesterday evening and
attempted to steer him around and "work" "
him, but was himself steered to police head
quarters and locked up. Detective Edelin,
was meandering innocently down the avenue,
looking quite "swcll " in new suit Of cloth
ing and topped off with one of the latest styled
derby hats when he was approached by Brax-
ton, who had been posing in the vicinity of
the peace monument.
"You arc q strangerP" queried the steeror,
"Yes," replied the detective; i've just
arrived from st. Louis"
SCOT hotel YETI"
mo; but I'd like to find a good one"
"All right, I'll show you one," added Brax-
ton, as he led off up the south side of the
avenue. Edelin, worked" his man by init
mating that he (Edelin) was crooked" and
had been forced to leave st. Louis on that
account. The game worked WELL and BraX-
ton gave his business completely away to the
officer, who promised to share the Yicissitudes
of the bunko trade with hisnew acquaintance.
BY this time the pair had reached the corner
! opposite police headquarters.
'"Come over and have drink" blandly
| urBcu Ilo olhSoii "hN A"' . NA'hA A"NA w 'AAS
! scheme"
The offer was accepted, and the bunko man
walked innocently into the trap that had been
set for him by the shrewd detective, who
| placed his hand in Braxtons collar and said
sternly "you are my prisoner" The priso-
ner is held at the police headquarters.
Another case in the detective scandal came
| to light yesterday. 1t appears that Mr.. h. X.
| Jones, who is watChman in one of the gov
| ernment departments, and lives at No. Ill
| Third street southeast, sometime ago was on
| bit of a "tear," so to speak, aud while in that
| condition was relieved of his wife's watch,
| which he had borrowed and wore. The watch
| was valuable one and of course Mrs. Jones
regretted deeply its loss, but as Detective Ac-
| ton lived next door she sent for him and told
| him the story. The officer said he would look
| into the matter, and in few days told Mrs.
| Jones that he had located the watch that he
knew where it was, but that it would cost
something to get it,
She wanted to know why, If he was an Off
Ger and knew where the watch was, he could
not 90 and get it at once; but he said that she
did not understand that certain things could
not be done without money, and he declined
to do anything unless she would put up.
This she refused to do for some days, he urg-
ing her to give him the money; until at length
she said she would give him the $40 II he
would bring her the watch. Then he de-
olined to do anything without receiving the
money first This she finally agreed TO do,
aud gave IL to him. and he returned her the
watch, telling her that it had been stolen by
Roxy Ross.
National Republican., 1883-03-23
why Is This Thusi


There are some existing facts for which the
public would like to know the reasons, as for
instance;
Why if, as Capt. Phelps says, the scarcity
of water on the high grounds is solely due to
the waste and the present increase is the re-
suit Of stopping that waste, he did not have
the waste stopped while he was president OF
the board. The law was the same then as
now, and he had the same authority that the
present commissioners have.
Why Mantz was not arrested before he left
the city, as the facts were ali-well known then
as now. Why he was notified by publishing
all the facts in advance. Why, il his where
abouts is known, he is not arrested now.
Why Williams, the lawyer, should be in
dicted, and the superior officer Of the district,
who acted as a go-between to convey TO the
victim the conditions on which she could re-
cover her property-viz., by not appearing
against the thief-should he allowed to so
scott free. Was one less guilty than the other?
Why the engineer in charge Of the nqueduct
extension don't go ahead and prosecute the
work in common sense, practical way, in
stead of fooling away precious time and money
ON that hole in the ground. What particular
credit does he expect to gain by tunneling,
even If successfully Tunnels are nothing new
and any decent engineer can build them but
where's the gain in it?
And finally, while Marshal McMichacl Is
inaugurating his reforms about tho city hall,
why he don't have that filthy heap of ashc-
carted away and provide some other place to
dump them hereafter, INQUIRER.

The badge was made by Tiffany & Co., and is
very handsome The center is a knapsack,

THE GRAND JURY.
John A. Walsh and Contractor Price Ex-
amincd-nIr. Ikcr Assists.

The fact that John A. Walsh had been pres
ont III tho criminal court room during the
past few days has caused some comment, but
it was rather a surprise nevertheless to per-
sons inter csted in star route matters when it
became known to-day that the government is
making determined effort to secure AN indict-
ment against Gen. r. J. Brady, in connection
with former prominent United States scna-
tor, for conspiracy to defraud Ghc government.
Mr.. Ker was in the grand jury room during
nearly the whole of their session yesterday.
Mr.. Walsh was examined ut length, and it is
believed that his testimoney was substantially
u repetitian of that given before the grand
jury in July last, when the government failed
to secnre an indictment in the same case.
The contractor, J. b. Price, and others have
also been called upon to testify. Some law
yers who have been acting in the interest Of
the defense in the star route trial hold that
if an indictment is returned it will be worth
less, as the oflense charged is barred by the
statute of limitations; but government coun-
sci maintain positively that such is not the
case, and that the statute does not begin to
run until 1884. At the end of to-day's session
the grand jury was excused until Monday
next,
