Mr.. >Silabuster, if we had
known that YOU were poet. along
with your many other qualifications,
would never, in our widest flights of
fancy, thought OF saying anything
with regard to your being bachelor,
and then YOU are SO sensitive about
your age. Don't think we ever ac-
cused you of being Young; and as
tor MIR. Ben Berry, YOU must have
been drawing on your imagination.
VIII not answer at length, tor pre-
sumo our controversy IS getting rather

say and then admit ourself vanquish-

Mr.. s. I. Thomas is one of thebest known
and most highly respected citizens in the
eastern section of the city. He is car
penter by trade, about So years old, and has
been doing contract work in the South for
somo time past. Almost everybody in
East Washington knows him. He is emi.
nently respectable, and has the entire con-
fdence of his,fellow-men.
On the night Of tho 1st instant he ar
rived here from Richmond. He came by
tho train that arrives at the b. & p. depot
at ii o'clock. Mr.. Thomas crossed the Ave-
nue. at Sixth street and walked leisurely
along. He was killing time until an east
ward-bound car should overtake him and
carry him to his home. He had satchel
in his hand
When in the neighborhood of tho old
Globe building, a man approached him and
said

Where do you live?"
"On the Navy Yard" was the reply.
At this time heidic hove in sight, and
the man said
There goes herdic."
~ sec it," said Mr.. Thomas, "but want
car. herdic will not take me where
wish to CO."
Mr.. Thomas then advanced to the side
walk, and the man drew nearer and said,
What is that you have in that satchel2"
None of your business" was the prompt
but unsatisfactory answer.
I'm an officer, and arrest you as a sus-

of the coat. Another man stood by, whom
the officer, for such he afterward proved to
be, though he did not then show his au-
thority, called to his assistance. The man
obeyed, and he caught Thomas by the left
wrist. The two started up the street with
their prisoner.
Thomas cried Justify "Police !" several
times on the way up. When Blarinellis
restaurant was reached the officer and his
assistant endeavored to drag Mr.. Thomas
into the side entrance of this place. He ro-
sisted and continued to call police. Finally
the man opened his coat, showed his badge,
and said
what are you calling police for am
an officer"
Mr.. Thomas told the men to take him to
MIR. Joseph q. Lees place of business or TO
any other place on the Avenue and he could
be identified. This didn't suit the officer,
and he persisted in searching the satChel
Officer Henkle camo up and said he had
known Mr.. Thomas by sight for twenty
years.
Officer George Smith also appeared on the
scene, and he too said that no know Mr..
Thomas well, and had known him for q long
number of years. The officer making the
arrest, however, said he must search the
satchel, when Mr.. Henkle said, There's
the man, search him, arrest him, or do
whatever you please. Pll have nothing to
do with it,"
Mr.. Smith said the same, and finally Mr..
Thomas was released and allowed to go his
way.
The name of tho officer who committed
the outrage is Charles Farquhar.
Mr.. Thomas has filed charges against
him with the Major of Police, and the case
will be investigated tomorrow by the

for an injunction to prevent tho laying of
tracks on Q street, between Seventh and
Eighth streets southwest, Came on for hear
ing before Judge Cox this morning in the
Equity Court, Mr.. G. =. Culver appearing
for the complainant and Colonel Enoch
Totten for the company.
Mr.. Culver said that since tho service of
the restraining order the company had con-
tinued work and should be judged guilty of
contempt.
Colonel Totten did not care to complain,
but tho only service made on any officer of
the company was u paper which proved to
be the prayer of the complainant for re-
straining order. He had been unable to
obtain the papers until yesterday, and was
indebted to his newspaper friends for all
his information in re- rd to the matter.
Mr.. Culver claimtd that the writs we're
issued for service, and copy of the bill
served last Saturday.
Judge Cox said there was no grounds for
contempt, but he would fix next Friday for
the hearing.
Mr.. Culver applied for restraining Or

Colonel Totten said If he could have OBJ
tanned the papers he would have been ready
at the present time.
Mr.. Culver said the damage might bo

Judge Cox stated that IL he decided to
Issue the order, IL would dato from to-day.
Colonel TOtten agreed to have the work
stopped until after tho hearing, which was
q satisfactory arrangement to all parties.

THE ooLoRED MISSIONARIES.
A Row over the Georgia Divinity
Students at Howard University.

A Row over the Georgia Divinity
Students at Howard University.
An interesting meeting of the Washing
ton City Presbytery was held last evening
at tho New York Avenue Church. The
principal subject of discussion was as to the
education of four young colored men from
Georgia, who were brought to this city and
admitted to Howard University for q
theological education designed to prepare
them for service as missionaries in Africa.
The purpose of the meeting was stated to
be to investigate tho case of the colored
students at Howard University whose ap-
preparation had been suspended by the
Presbyterian Board of Education at the in
stance Of Rev. DR.. Craighead, dean of the
theological faculty of that university.
There was a fair attendance of members of
tho Presbytery, and the four students
Henderson, Pinkney, Thomas and Aston
were also present.
1t appeared from q letter that the young
men bad been received three years since
from college at Waynesboro', Ga, upon
the understanding that they were to take
Theological course, but after passing through
the preparatory department they declined
to enter the field of study for which they
were destined preferring to take full col
lege course. This change ofpurpose was con-
strued to be an act of prevarication, and the
appropriation Of 500 year which they
had been receiving from the Presbyterian
fund was withdrawn.
There wasa very long debate on the sub
ject, in which the position taken by the
students was alternately attacked aud de-
Tended, but no vote was reached or action
taken
