circular:
The National Rifles OF Washington, D. o.,
VIII hold grand fair and exhibition Mt their
armory, GIG, 91S, $40 street northwest, from
November 2 to Id, 1885. The proceeds that
may be realized from the same are to be ap-
piled to the liquidation OF the heavy floating
and mortgaged debt that at present burdens
the organization and materially interferes
with It's progress. 1t ie q wellknown fact that
the military Of the District OF Columbia,
though frequently called upon by both the
National and local authorities to perform
military duty add TO participate In public de.
monstrations, that without said military
would be a possible failure, are compelled to
defray the expenses Incident thereto out OF
their company funds. They are also obliged

several States are differently situated. Their
expenses, Including inc services uniforms,

The company since Its organization June o,
1880 has uniformed one hundred men at an
expense OF $4,000, purchased lot and con-
etructed an elegant armory, complete In all its
details, costing In all $40 1000, making total
expenditure OF $4,000, independent of pay

$4,000 yet TO be paid. In view OF this state
ment OF facts and the earnest desire OF the Ma
tional Rifles to maintain the excellent reputa-
iion II has gained rs a military command, and
to relieve 1t from Its existing financial embar-
easements, thereby placing 1t beyond q further
appeal to the public, 1t has decided to inaug-

PROFESSIONAL WITNESSES.
Justice Macarthur Makes Some Per
fineut Observations.

unenb ODnervattOna.
The District has had the attention of tho
Criminal Court for the past two days. They
presented cases Of violations of the liquor
laws principally and made signal failures of
the prosecutions and tho keepers of the un.
licensed bars went free. This morning, when
another case was ready to 20 to the Jury,
Judge Macarthur made some very perth
nent remarks to the jury. The impression
seemed to prevail that the jury was preju-
diced against the character of the witnesses
put on by the Government-professio
witnesses.
His Honor said
ut is of the greatest importance to the
peace Of the city that the liquor laws
should be observed. 1t is ono of our most
important municipal regulations. Selling
liquor without q license is violation of a
just and liberal law. There can be nothing
worse than free liquor traffic. Setting up
corner grocery as a cover for selling rum
is as bad as openly defyng tho law. The
custom of sending out people to make sucn
cases against people is not practical. The
man who helps to bring the witness down
to this level by selling him rum
should be the last man to complain If
his victims are used against him. It Is not
for the jury or the Court, either, to put
such high standard on q witness as to say
they will not believe such Witnesses

Thomas Sutton, q white man, was sen-
fenced to jail for two months for stealing n
lot OF carpenters tools. He was also sem
fenced to fifteen days each Of two assaults
on his brother, John Sutton, and Martin
Schissler.
Isaac Thomas and Richard Williams, col
ored, were charged with stealing 17s pounds
Of ham from Mr.. Spoford Of the Riggs
House. These defendants were employees
of tho hotel. They were charged with
stealing the meat and giving it to the man
who hauled the garbage away from the
hotel. The latter, George Wallace, was
charged with receiving stolen goods. The
case went over for one week.
William Grimke was acquitted of a
charge Of perjury.

more enjoyable than any of its predecessors.

joyed. In the afternoon was the parade OF

600 men in line, although the threatening
weather deferred some organizations from
participating. The Lee Camp of Richmond
was in line. The Washington organiza-

coinmendation. The festivities attending
the reunion were closed with banquet at
the Concordia. which was attended by many
distinguished guests A number of eloquent
speeches wero made. The Washington

THE PoLICEMEN,s WORK.
Report of the Department for tho
Last Quarter.


The quarterly report Of the Police De-
partment for the quarter ending March 81
contains some interesting statistics, and
makes good showing for the force. The
question Of the amount Of property stolea
here during Inauguration week Is shown to
be much less than the estimates published.
The estimated value of all the money and
property stolen in all the precincts during
the quarter is $1S, 307.69. The amount recov.
cred was So, 554.65. BY reference to the re-
ports of tho two previous quarters the in.
auguration quarter shows an increase OF
of about $4,000, which amount can be safely
estimated as the extra stealing on account
of the Inauguration.
The total number of arrests was 1854, of
whom 567 were females. Some of the Of
lenses were, assault 3l1; assault to KILL 10;
carrying concealed weapons, 40; disorderly
conduct, 404 fast driving q; profanity,
800; vagrancy, $40; cruelty to animals, 40;
embezzlement, @; HOUSEKEEPING, AZ. and
larceny, 2S8. Fines were imposed in ] ,172
cases, amounting to $11, 599.4l.

CONFLICTS OF AUTHORITY.
Can Department Fire.PIugs h
Used for Private Purposes


1t Is stated by officials Of the Interior De-
ity with the District Commissioners as to
the use of the fire plugs for legitimate pur-
poses--that is, in case Of fire, &c. These
plugs were purchased, put in and are main.
tanned by the Department and tho ques.
tion at issue Is as to the right of the. Com.
missioners to grant permit for the use of
the plugs for private purposes, such use
having several times disordered the plugs
to such an extent that the Department. has
had to have them repaired so that they
might be In condition in case of another
fire in the building, as in 1877. The ques.
tioD, to what extent the Executive Depart.
ments have control of their own property
and reservations, is of much interest, and
the present suit is friendly one to deter.
mine that question. IL the Commissioners
can grant the use of fro plugs, wholly and
may they not, with equal propriety, say
the Department officials, grant a permit for
tho use of other departmental property,
such as for fruit stands about tho Depart
ment sidewalks The assault upon which
the case is based was merely tech nical
one upon which to try the main question
Mt issue.
Another point involved is the nuisance
created at the corner of Seventh aud Il
streets, by the almost continuous standing of
the water cart at the intersection of those
two busy tboroughfares, necessitating all
wagons and carriages to pull out and cross
two lines of street car tracks in order to get
around the water cart, and this has been
the cause of serious complaint both as to
public and private conveyances. Other
plugs in the immediate vicinity and out of
the way of general traffic are equally avail
able. Tho water-cart man has been fro
quently requested to desist from sprinkling
and keeping in a pasty condition the pave.
ment on the Seventh street side of the Do
partment building, but he still persists in
doing 30. The District authorities it is
stated at the Interior Department. have al
SO been requested to the same effect, but
without success. The Department claims
that 1t has ample facilities to sprinkle the
streets whenever required and at proper
times.
