VIOLATING HOSPITALITY.
Henry Meyer Attempts II Criminal As
sault Upon the Wife of Postoiiice

u
Clerk.
Some time last January Henry Meyer, a
young German, met officer Barnes on
Capitol Hill, and told him that two
men who had assisted him in carry
ing his trunk from the Baltimore
and Ohio depot had stolen it from
him while he was taking O drink In saloon.
He claimed that all his money was in the
trunk, and as ne was stranger in the town
he did not know how he would get along.
The young mans innocent look and the
pitiful tale he told so worked upon the
sympathetic feelings of the officer that he
took the young man home with him. The
officer in the meanwhile reported the rob-
berry to Lieut.. Boteler, Of the eighth pre-
cinct station. Meyer was brought to police
headquarters, and told the same story there
to Officer Quinlan. Two men sus-
pected Of the robbery were brought
TO headquarters, and Meyer failed to
identify them. Officer Quinlan quietly
Ohio depot, and was told by the officials
there that Meyer had been put off the
train at Laurel, Nd, for payment of
his fare. He was minus money and bag
gage. Meyer was confronted with the
story and admitted its truth. The sus-
peCleu parties were released anu meyer
was given hint to leave the town. Meyer
did SO a day or two afterwards. He took
the turnpike road. Mr.. Quinn, clerk in
the city postoflce, lives at Contee Station,
two miles west Of Laurel. He saw Meyer
walking In the cold and snow and took
pity on him. Meyers innocent face and
pathetic story warmed up Mr.. Quinn's heart
toward him and he took the young man to
his home. Meyer made himself useful
about the house and remained there until
| Wednesday last, when he attempted to
force an entrance into Mrs. Quinn's be l.
room with intent to commit felonious as
sault. The lady managed to close and lock
the door in his face. Meyer then undertook
| TO break down the door, but he was fright
ened of by Mrs. Quinn's loud screams
for help. Meyer fled the house, and after
ward was seen to get on board of local
train going TO Baltimore. The police of that
city were notified, but they failed to find
him, and II is believed that he has gone
either to Philadelphia or New York.
Meyer is described as being about 90 or 81
| years of age, with florid complexion, light
hair, and mere suggestion Of a mustache.
| lie is about five feet six inches tall, and
has purely German cast of countenance.
| lie is dressed in a dark suit, considerably
worn, and military vest, and q cap.

a GROSS FRAUD.
why District of Columbia Claim was
Dismissed by m Senate Committee.


Dismissed by n Senate Committee.
Reporting adversely upon the petition Of
Mr. Fitch, an attorney Of the District Of
Columbia, for the reference Of certain claims
for timber used by the army to the court of
claims, under the Bowman act, the Senate
committee on claims, through Senator
Dolph, Gays. GAS all OF the parties named
in the petition, except John Hoffman
Smith, are deceased, and there is nothing
on file to show that Mr.. Fitch is authorized
to present the petition for him, and as a
dead man cannot be party TO proceeding
in court and cannot have an attorney In
fact, the petition might well be dismissed
for these reasons.n But the committee
examined thecase thoroughly, and for other
satisfactory reasons dismissed the petition.
The persons named in the petition were
Juliana Barry deceased, George X. w.
Marshall, deceased, James w. Sears, de-
ceased, Joseph Trimble, deceased, William
Trimble, deceased, George w. Talburtt,
deceased, John p. Warning, deceased, and
John Hoffman Smith-parties who ''were
severally the owners OF timber cut upon their
lands during the war by agents and officers
Of the United States (said lands being all
situated within the District OF Columbia.n)
These claims were never before presented
TO congress.
In support Of It's statement that one Of
these claims, "from its inception has been
a gross fraud upon the government" the
committee present official documents, found
among the papers relating to the case, from
one Of which the following quotation Is
made. II is from an official report by Brig.
Gen. Myers, depot quartermaster at Wash
ington in 1873, to the quartermaster gen
eral:
GENERAL: Referring to my report dated July
q, 1873. on claim OF the estate of Juliana Barry,
deceased, late of Washington county, d. c.,
for wood alleged to have been cut from her
property and used in the public service during
the war, have the honor to state that my
agent, who investigated the claim and fur.
nishcd the data upon which my report was
based, recently met, by the merest chance,
with a Mr.. ID. NJ. Garst, VINO lives nj No. 229
Massachusetts, avenue, in this city, who in.
formed him that after the timber charged for
in said claim had been felled by the army In
1862, he (GarsO purchased 1t from Mr.. George
Goolick, then agent for Mrs Barry, had 1t cut
into cord.wood, sold II TO the United States and
others, and was paid for II.
My agent has also seen Mr. Hanson, executor
of the estate of Julinna Barry, deceased, who
admitted to him that the claim, If paid. would
not accrue TO the benefit of the estate, but is in
the interest of other parties. there
fore beg leave TO withdraw my previous recon
mendation in this case and now respectfully
recommend that the claim be disallowed.
The claim was for $3l, $50.

The Bath-House Case.

The case of the United statesv vs.. Sarah Brown
was tried In the criminal court and submitted
ment The court accepted the written instrIc-
lions on the part of the defense "that more
than ono case Of unlawful cohabitation
IN said pc house Rh to the have %fea place
acqulescence of the defendant during
the time laid in the information" Not one
case Of this Kind was proven, wherepnPon the
Is proven they might infer from surrounding
circumstances. Amer an hours deliberation
the Jury failed 70 agree, nine being for &C.
Instead of discharging the jury, as has hereto.
fore been the custom In such cases. the court
sent the Jury back, and In forty minutes an ex-
traordinary change occurred. The nine jurors
for acquittal went over to the three Jurors and
q verdict of guilty was rendered.
of course, the counsel for the defense gave
notice Of an appeal The woman under these ,niaY
so II is believed, and, II 1t be refused, counsel
will apply TO have the case certified to the gen
eral term upon the same grounds of the Mar
shall case, which is pending there now,-Su'
day Gds6hc,
II Is urged that II In this case the court &C.
cepted the instruction that more than one case
of unlawful cohabitaton with the knowledge
and acqulescence OF the defendant must be
proven In order TO sustain the charge of keep.
ing a bawdy house, there can DO no case If such
has not been proven. This, Il Is commended, Is
an unsafe rule, Tho court having granted u
new trial In this case, II is TO be presumed that
Il was done upon good aud sufficient reasons,
Three fouTths OF the testimony accepted In the
first trial was ruled out by the court In the sec.
ond. Counsel for the defense was so sure that
no case had been made out that they mado the
motion to take the case from the Jury. COun-
sci for the defense will this morning move the
court for new trial upon the following
grounds. ~ Because the verdict OF the jury was
In violation Of the instructions of the court; (2)
because there was not sufficient legal evidence
TO sustain verdict Of guilty; (3) because of the
| illegal and irrelevant testimony to go TO the
Jury; () because the verdict was contrary TO the
| law and the evidence II motion for n new
trial IL not granted, the motion will be TO have
| the case certified 10 the general term upon the
| same grounds, being an Identical case that the
| Marshall case went up to the same court on.
Mrs. brown is said 10 be quite sick and under
medical treatment

Men About Town.

Who cannot recognize by his worn look the
man about town-who invorts life, who turns
night into day, who makes exhaustive
draughts on his powers, who wears himself
out too fast, who burns his candle at both
ends? He gets up and breakfasts at an hour
when the tide Of business has long, been at its
height. He dimes or sups, whichever you
please to call II, at all manner of hours. Who
lives an artificial life, and sinks, as rule, into
q premature grave. The simple fact is he ex.
hausts his nervous strength. He repairs his
lack of tone with such stimulants as he has

hausted and WORKOUT condition, To such men
DR.. Henley's Celery, Beef, and Iron proves n
perfect restorer. The Celery braces up the
nerves; the Beef, best, simplest, and earliest of

strength, and the Iron gives tone TO the gen.
eral system. Amer its use he Is no longer the

vivaCious and full of life he has fresh hold
on pleasure, and knows that he owes his in
