Noy Jfm's Bond Taken.

The first case OF an assault by a China
man on policeman of this city was called
In the Police Court this morning. Moy Jim,
a tall and muscular celestial, being the ac.
cused person. Police Officer Kenny of
the Fifth Precinct was the complainant.
The trouble grew out of the fact that the
officer refused to arrest young man late
Saturday night whom Jim charged with
breaking his windows. Jim claimed that
the young man paid the officer for not ar
resting him. The officer testified that he
showed the Chinaman away, but the latter
claimed that the officer struck him with
club--at any rate the Chinaman pulled q
bull dog pistol aud the officer had to fight
for his life. Judge Smell said the officer
was to blame for releasing the man and he
took the personal bonds of the Chinaman.

TIE CITI CdPTURED.
Barnum's Aggregation of Shows Ar
riycs in Washington.

bhfhums hggrcghtion OF SHOWS hr-
rivcs In Washington.
Baruum and his great show captured the
city day. Yesterday Barnum surrounded
the small hoy and brought him into camp;
the small boy surrounded the inclosure at
the corner Of Ninth and streets, and en-
deavored by peeking through holes in the
fei &C to see something OF the mystery of
preparation that was going on inside. He
did not see much, but to-day he was In
better luck. He saw the great parade,
and is this afternoon, together with thou
sands OF other people bigger that he is, en-
toying the wonderful performance that is
going on under Barnum's acres OF snowy
cloth. The parade was witnessed by every
body who had chance TO get there. 1t
was splendid parade. All about IL was
clean. The horses, and there were many
Of them, were in excellent condition; so
were all the other animals. The bands
played eXcellently, and the long line OF
vehicles, women, men, horses, wild ami
mails aud other features made o very at
tractive moving picture.
II was long before . o'clock this after
noon that people began to pass through the
canvas doors to see the wonders within.
The menagerie part of the show was char
acterized by Barnum.like completeness. II
would be hard to tell exactly which of the
features attracted the most attention next
to Jumbo's prepared skeleton and his
bereaved widow, Alice, with her new baby.
Though dead Jumbo's remains and great
fame are with us. Mrs. Alice, the relict OF
the lamented deceased, has very sorry
cast of countenance, but she has sufficiently
recovered from her grief to be scduced by
the omnipotcnt peanut and the saccharine
taffy. The performances in the rings were
bewildering in their multiplicity, always
most interesting and frequently startling.
Barnum still remains the "ouly greatest
Snowman on earth. lie is a greater show
'the broad Empire Of Rumcn for attrac-
tions when they wanted to have picnic and
wayup time generally.

Important Reduction in Passenger
Rates over the Pennsylvania Rail-

Following up the reduction made In
through passenger rates between New York
aud pittsburg, the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company announce the issue, on and after
today, OF ten days excursion tickets be-
tween New York and Washington at a
rate Of $40, and between New York and
Baltimore at rate Of S. Five-day excur-
sion tickets will also be sold between New
York and Wilmington. Del, at a rate of s..
This reduction is not only In the line of
that policy which seeks to foster the
growth of business whenever it shows q
tendency toward improvement, but is also
a further step toward disarIning the ticket
scalpers, who have been dealing In tickets
between these important cities. A stop
over will be allowed on all OF these tickets
at Philadelphia also at Baltimore on those
issued between New York and Washington.
The issue on excursion tickets will not be
restricted to New York, but will extend to
all the more important stations on the Penn
sylvania Railroad system.

ATTRACTIVE:

People are fond Of grouping things into
series of threes, sevens and mines. These
mystical groupings for some reason appeal to
the popu ar as we as superstitious taste.
We once heard an able preacher in New York
discourse on every three things he could
group together TO illusteate his text. "a
three-fold cord is not quickly broken" The
Importance of any three particular provisions
of the Constitution of the United States as
distinct from any other Of its provisions could
only arise in the mind Of superintendent of
education by some sort of indwelling peculiar
to himself, and he could scarcely expect the
teachers under his direction to harmonize
their answers with his own mystical percep
tons.
