The Late DIR. !. II. Powell.

DIR. j. II. Powell, whose death at his late
residence 1913 NJ street northwest, was an
nounced in yesterdays REPUBLICAN,, was n
gentleman remarkable for scholastic attain
ments and high abilities. He was born in
Richmond county, N. G., in 1913, and was
consequently in his list year. He served
with distinction in the Florida war, and was
recommended for promotion on account of
signal gallantry on the field He declined
the promotion however, and came to Wash
ingtou, where he has resided for over forty
years, employed in official positions of trust
until about five years ago. At that date he
resigned clerkship in the general postotlice
on account Of i'll health and has lived over
since devoted to books and good works. DR..
Powell graduated in medicine when q young
man, but never practiced. He was great
reader, possessed tenacious memory, and
was highly esteemed for his great scientific
learning. He died of Bright's disease, which
had been troubling him for years.

swELrER1Ne IN THE POLICE VAN.
Thirty Persons Squeezed into the Vehicle
ut Ono Time Yesterday.

ut Ono Time Yesterday.
Yesterday was the hottest day of the sea-
son, and tho docket at tho police court tho
heaviest of the summer over thirty persons
in that court were sentenced to the Jail or the
workhouse. These people are conveyed from
the court TO the prisons in u van, called "The
Black Maria" capable of holding twelve per-
sons If they are squeezed in tightly. But
yesterday the whole thirty, among whom were
several womon, wore slowed away in the small
compartment like dead cattle or bales of mer-
chandise. The officials of the court and van
who superintendent the packing were evil
IDENTIFY in hurry, and appeared to think that
the sentences of the prisoners included the
inhuman and illegal torture to which they
subjected them.
The fact Of this outrage on humanity-cvcn
though il was humanity that had passed
through the police court-was reported to
police headquarters by some persons who be-
lievcd that u sentence Of the police court did
not give the officials thereof the right to treat
the mon and women thus sentenced as if they
were devoid both Of feeling and of rights.
The authorities at police headquarters in
formed the complainants that the po-
lice authorities had nothing TO do with
tho matter and that the judge of
tho police court was the proper
person to see in relation to it. As some Of
these police court officials are policemen de-
tailed for special duty at this court it would
seem that the police authorities should have
something to say about it. Meantime, Act
ing Judge Milss attention is brought to tho
matter with the hope that he will put stop
to it.
The barbarity thus perpctrated on these
prisoners was witnessed by very large
crowd of persons, and the indignation Of
men who have no sympathy with criminals
was aroused to exClaim loudly against the
proceedings.

NO BURGLARS.

A Drunken Man Causes Lively Excite
nent In IA House on L Street.
The neighborhood of street, between Fif-
teenth and Sixteenth streets northwest, was
in high state of excitement last night, and
on a cry Of burglars being raised the police
were called into tho house of Capt. Barrett
on that street. A man under the influence of
liquor was found wandering through the cor
ridors on the third floor, and when
asked what he wanted, said that he
wanted to get into his room, which
ho persisted in saying was on that
floor. 1t WAS finally discovered that the man
was a boarder in an adjoining house, and had
gotten into Mr.. Barrett's house by mistake
He stated he saw the front door open, and
thinking it was his house walked in, and
proceeding to the third floor started to enter,
what he believed to be his room, when he
heard sounds of some one from inside, and
thought there was burglar in the house, and
it was he who raised the cry of burglars.

stricken down with Paralysis, losing the use of his
tongue in speech. unable to hear or see distinctly
In fact, au almost total suspension Of organic ac-

A FAMILY BLESSING.

Under date of May 10, 1853 we have re-
ceived the following information from Mr..
Lorenzo Lombard, of Is Charles street. Port
land, Me- Mr.. Lombard says: "For several
years past have been troubled with severe
backache and pains in the side, and when l
would lie down | could not rest well, as it
seemed impossible for me to get into an easy
position; and my aches and pains increased
constantly to such an extent that became
convinced that had disease of the kidneys
fastened to me- and after having used doctors
prescriptions and many of the so-called cures
without getting any benefit was persuaded
by a near neighbor, Mr. Jones, to try Hunts
Remedy, as himself and wife had been greatly
benefited by its uses, and many others of our
acquaintances spoke of its merits in the
highest terms. | decided to try it, and pur-
chased bottle at Nichols drug store, and as
soon as | had taken few doses of it the
pains in my back were relieved, and after
taking three bottles my sdeache and lame
back are cured and i can truly testify that
HINTS Remedy is an article of great merit,
and will do all that is claimed for it, and
know of many other people in Portland who
have found q cure in Hunts Remedy after
all others failed to do any good, and / recon-
mend it to all who have kidney or liver dis
ease, hoping that this may be the means of
relieving some sufferer who does not know of
the merits of Hunts Remedy"
