RIDING AT BREAKNECK SPEED.
a Case That Judge Smell Very Prop
erIY Punished To-day.

A fragrant case ofthe abuses Of fast riding
was tried and summarily punished by
Judge Smell this morning. A young man
named Edward Pillsbury was charged with
riding a horse at pace faster than mod
crate trot or gallop.
officer Cole testified that at about $3.50
o'clock last evening he arrested tho accused
for riding horse at q breakneck speed on
New York avenue. The officer stated that
there were several children playing in the
street at the time, aud the young man said
that he was speeding his horse. AS to tho
rate Of speed at which he was riding the
witness said the horse was going in a three
minute gait.
The defense offered to prove that the
horse was not capable of going so fast and
offered to bring the horse down and let
Officer Cole ride him and let the Court
judge how fast the animal could travel.
His Honor said he was not getting up any
horse races and refused to entertain tho
proposition. An appeal was made to the
Court to excuse the defendant.
cannot excuse fast driving or riding"
said the Court. 81 have no doubt this law
ought to be enforced nine times where
it IS enforced once, and tho Court should be
found fault with for not enforcing this law.

HE KNOWS WHERE WALSH is,
But tits His Business and He Won't

This morning the special committee of
the House investigating the Boynton-
Keifer affair waited upon J. w. Elder, who
is i'll at his room at the United States Ho-
tel, for the purpose of further examining
him, and to give Mr.. Merrick, attorney for
the defendant, an opportunity to cross-ex-
anime the witness.
The testimony adduced related to the
recommendation of Elder by General
Keifer to n position in the Department of
Justice during tho Star-Route trials. The
witness stated that he thought himself ca
pablo of earning $40 day as fully as some
Others earned 800 q day. He stated that
he saw Mr. Merrick in New York looking
in vain for John A. Walsh, while he wit
ness) saw Walsh every day.
"Do you know the whereabouts Of Walsh
at this time?" was asked.
THAT is my business promptly replied
witness, who refused to answer further.

AN ORIGINAL CARTOON.
One OF the Most Interesting Eea-
lures of n Recent Masked Hall.


Al the masked ball given by the Dlught-
ers of Rebecca. at Abner's Hall, a few even
inRs ago. there were several original char
acters and designs, but none more interest
ing than the original cartoon gotten up by
Miss Bertha Kaufman and Mr.. Henry
Weyl, which represented President Arthur
and General Logan in n huge carriage AS
infants, being pushed by Columbia as the
Nations nurse. In one corner of the car.
rage stood Ben Butler, i'll miniature form,
with two large spoons as his gavel, display
ing on the front the legend "Oncc Ro-
publican, once Democrat, and now moth
ing but still IN tho field as Presidential
aspiIant." Over the top Of tho carriage was
a dark horse, mounted by Fred Douglass,
who was nominated on the 1,9DDth ballot,
the whole thing representing the Republi.
can party at the Chicago Convention.
This cartoon was, as stated, very much
admired, and good deal Of surprise was
expressed that IL failed to be recognized as
entitled to one Of tho principal honors.
