and the case went over until Saturday.

FRANK WHITNEY, a young colored man,
was charged in the Police Court to-day
with second otfense of petit larceny in
stealing bolt of gingham from in front of

the case continued for evidence of the prior
conviction.
THE Commissioners in executive session
yesterday considered the question whether
they have jurisdiction in the matter Of
the building of an elevated bridge over
Sixth street ON the Baltimore & Potomac
Railroad, which was directed by Congress
in 1871. The Commissioners decided that
the matter was beyond their jurisdiction.
HENRY CRAWFORD, colored, was charged
in the Police Court to-day with stealing a
gold ring from man named Shreves. The
evidence did not support the charge, as the
complainant did not know whether the
ring had been stolen or lost, and the de-
fendant claimed that he had bought the
ring from woman named johnson, who
had found it.
FIRE was discovered in the basement Of
j. Brooks shoe store, No. S02 Seventh

Officer Bast turned in fire alarm from

spects to George Bliss G Co.


George Bliss, esq, Washington, d. O.:
SIR: 1t is possible that there are envIous
persons-men who do not think you are as
great a lawyer as you are willing to admit you
are-who may be disposed to hold you respOn-
sible for the failure to SNAKE a CASE In the
Star-Route trial. 1t is perhaps natural that
such should be the case, but do not be annoyed
or dismayed by any such criticisms. II any
body insinuates that you are not a great law
yer, and that the case was lost through your
incompetency and mtsmanagement, the size
OF your fees and extra allowances should awe
them into silence. Only great lawyer or a
brazen and accomplished rascal could receive
such vast sums for services OF such a charac-
ter, and the accomplishment Of such results.
II the size Of your fee bill does not sum-
ciently terrorize, you might supplement 1t by
procuring the removal of i've or six inoffensiye
oiiicials. You nc, can probably do that with the
plish your purposes in this direction does not
require knowledge OF law, ability nor charac-
ter: All that , Is necessary necessary is power, innate
Official relatons-Brewster, Bowen, Hoover,
Woodward, Cameron and Tidball--and natural
qualifications insure success in this direction.
BY all means remove somebody. Remove
every body II necessary. Brady and Dorsey
should be punished II every innocent oflcial
In Washington has to suffer.
or course removing innocent and inofrensive
persons does not punish Brady and Dorsey ex-
actly, but 1t convinces the public that you are
In and are tyng to earn your big
out accomplishing anything, looks bad, con.
sidering your boastings and promises OF con.
viction; but II you Will remove half dozen
ings may possibly be overlooked, AS the At
torney- General did not take parein this trial,
he cannot be held as having contributed
to the result. And the people generally
are coming to know of his failings and
make due allowance for his shortcomings
and eccentricities. He may have been
pugn" his Intentions, IL he mas any. II left to
his own instincts he probably would not in.
dulge in tho wholesale assassination of pri-
his personal ends, but II you suggest 1t he will
no doubt Join you In procuring q few re.
movals. 1t is the only revenge left you. BY
all means remove somebody at once, for your
opportunities may be limited.

The twilight shadows darkling fall.
o memories dear against thy thralI
MY heart strives all In vain.
Yet wherefore strive against my mood
cannot silence, II would,
Tho softly falling rain.
AZ such an hour, on such an eve,
Bright hopes, that yet inly grleve,
SpranE up to fade and wane.
An, never more, hand clasped IN hand,
Shall We within the doorway stand
And watch the falling rain.
Yet still the sweetness OF that hour
Roturns, with all Its wonted power
OF mingled Joy and pain,
Whom dropping down from wlndow-eavos,
Or gently falling on the leaves,
hear the summer rain.
o cruel Memory thus 70 bring
That glad brief hour, with bitter sting,
Back 10 my heart again;
Those parting words OF fond regret
With glad pretext, love lingering yet,
Unmindfui OF the rain.
ALL brief, indeed, poor aching heart,
Tho Joy those ficklo hopes impart
Grief follows IN their train.
Nay, nay, my heart, take upward wing.
o cruel Memory thy sting
Shall vanish with the rain.
Though sadder seems the songs trlll,
Yet sorrow, with It's pIaintlve thrill,
Adds Bweetness TO the strain;
AS fragrant perfumes softly flow
From hawthorne blossoms bending low,

NO JUSTIFICATION
For the Murder of the Rev. MIR
Borden by the Rev. MIR. Jenkins.

For the Murder of the Rev. MIR.
Borden by the Rev. MIR. Jenkins.
The preliminary examination of Rev.
Ben T. Jenkins, jr., for the murder of Rcv.
J. Lane Borden began at Mansfield, La, yes
terday. Immediately after the shooting of
Borden by Jenkins, District Attorney Hall
wrote to John S. Butler, father of the young
lady whose name Is involved in the matter,
giving him the particulars of tho tragedy,
the alleged cause being the ruin of his
daughter. Mr.. Butler replied under date of
June 1S, saying: There is not one word
of truth in the charge you refer to. / re-
gret very much Mr.. jenkins took up such
an idea. My daughter says she said moth
ing to Mr.. Jenkins that he possibly could
infer anything of the kind"
Miss Butler made the following state
ment:
a confession to Mr.. Ben T. Jenkins, jr., TO
the effect that Mr.. Borden had in any man
ner illtreated me, only so far as shall be
explained. When asked by Mr.. Jenkins
il Mr.. Borden had treated me badly told
him yes. He then asked in what way. I
told him 4 can't tell, but you can think
any way you wish The only indiguity
ever offered by Mr.. Borden to me
was in tho library, about ten days
ago, when l was there for some books,
when he approached me and attempted to
put his hands upon me, and Immediately
left the room and was never in his presence
alone again during the remainder of my
stay at Mansfield. This treatment of Mr..
Borden to me was never mentioned to any
one but my mother"
1t may be stated that Miss Butler has a
father and two brothers to protect her
honor, If such protection had been neces-
