Capt. Billie Grim is very efficient officer
and a very clever gentleman, but he is thin
very thin. The following good joke is told
on popular Capt. Billie:
A few days ago he was sitting in rear
room in a DOCTORS office. In front room the
Office boy was reading a dime novel, when an
urchin made his appearance with basket of
fruit, and insisted on the Office boy making n
purchase. TO get rid of the young fruit
vender the Office hoy went to case, opened
the door and exposed to view skeleton. The
fruit boy fled in terror, leaving his basket be-
hind him.
Capt. Billie Grim, hearing the commotion,
went into the front Office, and upon learning
what had occurred, walked to the door and
said Ito the urchin, who stood across the street,
crying bitterly:
"Little boy, come over and get your basket,
nobody shall hurt you"
"No, | WON'T" sobbed the little fellow, ''you
can't fool me. know you, If you have got
your clothes on.n

Charged with Murder.
Frederick Barber, colored, was placed or
trial in the Criminal Court to-day charged Will
the murder of Agnes Watson on June 90 las
by throwing her from a bridge in the canal
in Georgetown. Tie usual difficulty in secur
ing u jury was experienced. The REGULAR

followed him for the purpose OF reproaching
him. He became angry, and in a fit of rage,
threw her into the canal.
The defense offered BY Dan. Cahill and A
