In the Police Court this morning Henry Lee,
colored boy sixteen years old, was placed on
trial charged with assault and battery with
intent to commit rape.

street alley Saturday night, when Henry Lee
came in and asked if she had any fire in the
stove, and then left. In q few minutes he
returned and without saying a word made the
assault complained of. She said she did not tell
her mother What was the matter with her until
Sunday night, because she was afraid.
The child's mother testified to her daughters
complaint to her and to her sufferings on Sat
urday night and Sunday.
DIR. Joseph 81. Bushnell testified that the
injuries the girl sustained might have been
caused by such treatment as described by the

The Old Carroll Place.
THE PURCHASERS INTEND TO IMPROVE tn
pROpERTY

L
The purchase of the old Carroll property, on
Capitol Hill, by ex-Representative E. John
Ellis, of Louisiana, which was announced in
yesterdays STAR, has given rise to much spec.
ulation as to what the purchaser intended to
do with the property. A reporter of The STAR
called upon Mr.. Ellis this morning and asked
him what his plans were in regard to his new
acquisition. In response Mr.. Ellis said:
II am interested with several parties in the
purchase OF the bud 1ington property, and my
name is used as the purchaser. We contem-
plate bringing the property to grade and inn
proving it as rapidly as possible. 1t is strictly
private matter, and don't see how it got in the
papers. nor do see that it matter of interest
to the public
A well informed real estate man, in speaking
about the property, said that he thought there
was about half million of good brick in the
wall surrounding the place, and about one
quarter of million in the house. In addition
the high bank upon which the house now
stands Is composed of gravel which is valuable
for making walks in the public parks. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the sale of this
material from the place would largely reduce
the amount of the purchase money. The price
paid for the place is stated to be $50 900, which
Is ABOUT twenty cents per square loot.

INDIGNANT BARRIERS.

THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED THE USE OF THE G.
A. r. HALL FOR MEETING--A QUESTION OF
COLOR.
The BARRIERS union, which Is an organization
composed of white and colored men, advertised
to hold a meeting last evening in the hall con-
trolled by the Grand Army of the Republic and
used by the latter for its meetings. They mad
engaged the hall from the janitOr and offered to
pay in advance, but were told that the money
could be paid on the evening OF the meetlng:
When the BARRIERS assembled at the entrance or
the hall, on l. street, near 18th, last evening
they were informed by the Janitor that they
could not occupy the hall because there were
colored members in the organization, ana tnat
he had been instructed by the hall committee
to say that the rule not to rent the hall to col
ored organizations would be enforced In this
instance.
marked Mr. Ford, the secretary of the BARRIERS
union, to q STAR reporter this morning. 1.-The
hall had been engaged, and we did not suppose
that there was any difficulty about our occu-
tend the meeting. We were surprised that
the Grand Army would draw color distinct
ion when we do not in our organization. We
admit members without regard to color. the
only condition being that they must be BARRIERS
There was nothing left for us to do, but to find
some other place, and after short delay we
went to Days Hall, at the corner of 7th and o
streets, where we held our meeting"
A representative of the Grand Army in speak
ing to q STAR reporter about the matter, said:
"1t is merely question of business with us.
We have rule not to rent the hall to cOlOred
organizations, and this Is done not on account
of the color, but simply for the reason that ii we
allow the hall to be used by colored organize
tons we cannot rent 1t to white organizations.
1t Is a public hall and we want to get as much
revenue from 1t as possible, and from business
standpoint only have we adopted this rule The
hall is not even rented to colOred posts of the
Grand Army"
