DONE UP AT LAST.
Fred Jones Finally Brought to Account
for Wife Whipping.

The case OF Fred Jones, who has at
tanned TO widespread notoriety by con-
tinued abuse of his cultivated and refined
wife, was called in the police court yester-
day morning.
There were two charges against him,
wife whipping and vagrancy. Jones OBJ
jected to the latser charge. but the testi-
mony of his wife substantiated ii.
The couple live at No. 1873 Madison
street. sergt. Hedrick, who arrested
Jones, did 30, as he testified, on telo-
phonic message from the husband him
self, who said he wanted man taken off
the premises. When he reached the
house Mrs. Jones preferred the charge Of
wife whipping and yagrancy.
When Jones was called out from the
prisoners dock for trial he asked that his
wife and the servant girl employed by
her, who was also witness in the case, be
put under the rule. He was nccommo-
dated. Mrs. Jones, on taking the stand,
said that her husband beat her Thursday,
and II was not the first time. She had
supported herself and husband also for
seven years lie had pawned all her jew
elry, even 10 the ring that her dy-
ing mother had taken from her
own finger and placed on that OF
"A grielstricken daughter. Thursday
morning Jones became enaged and
struck her with watch that belonged 10
the girl who stayed in the house; then he
showed her on the bed and beat her Sc
vcrcly. The watch was broken and she
would have il 10 pay for. Thursday night,
a young man, Mr.. Chambers, came by the
house and was talking 10 her about getting
work for Jones, when that person came up
and talked very insultingly 81 Mr.. Cham
bers 81 have stood his abuse rs long as
can, continued MB. Jones with desperate
calmncss, "and now intend To get di-
vorce. You know Mr.. Jones was arrested
about year ago for whipping me, but |
would not prosecute him. II my little boy
was hero he could tell you things l
wouldn't darcto mention"
The statement Of Mrs. Jones was cor
roborated by that OF the servant. Jones
neither admitted nor denied whipping his
wife Thursday morning, but said the
trouble that night arose from the fact that
Chambers was sitting on the back porch
talking TO Mrs. Jones, and no invited
them 10 go out on the front porch.
81 believe every word tho lady has
said, announced the court, turning so
we're eye on Jones, "and I'm going TO fine
you 800. And you might rs well make
up your mind not 10 send anybody 10 ask
me 20 hold up a cent. II all goes"

tcs Of Col. John G. Fletcher, at the Capt.
tol hotel, discussing the convention and
the good order that characterized its pro.
proceedings, when one Of the gentlemen
remarked parenthctically: They must
have had red-hot time over in Nashville,
from all accounts, during tho convention
that nominated Gov. Taylor"
Col Fletcher, who was present replied
YES, | heard good story about that.
A friend OF mine, citizen Of Arkansas,
happened Ia be in Nashville ut the time
and met an old friend In the person Of
Harry Hill. one Of the leading lawyers in
Memphis and one OF the most eloquent
men In the State. After exchanging the
customary greetings, Harry inquired OF
his Arkansas friend.

Nothing particular was the reply.
"'Well, said Harry, como with me.

A QUICK CROP.

Converting Load of Muck into Money.
 Farmers know we'll enough that a grain of wheat planted in good, rich soil will bring forth a multitude of grains, but it seldom happens that . dollar planted even in the purest of fertilizers will produce as rich har- vest as that reaped by a Washing tonian the other day. A Star reporter happened yesterday to meet Mir. J. W. Yates at his sales stables, 6l2 G street, and while there some inquiry was made as to his good fortune in securing prize of $l5,00o from The Louisiana Lottery at the last draw ing. Mir. Yates seemed perfectly will ing to talk about his good luck.
 "A colored man came into my stables few weeks ago." he said, ''and paid me for load of manure l had sold him some days before. He gave me dollar, and with this in my pocket I was on the street little while afterward, when met fellow whom l know with some lottery tickets to sell. buy one occasionally and 80, happening to think of the dol lar, which was as good as won, told him to give me & ticket. He pulled one from a bundle. and paid him tor it and put it in my pocket. The drawing, I believe, took place on the Sth of this month, and when the paper came out with the lists in l glanced at them, but without think ing of my ticket. In fact was look ing for news from the Pimlico races, with an idea that perhapsI might have won $16 for $1 on one of the races. Of course I saw that the ticket num- bered 55,315, which was the number on mine, had drawn the capital prize of Sl50,00O. l did not believe then that it amounted to anything; but l took the ticket down to the bank and told them to put 1t in with my de- posit, and if there was anything in 1t there might be some good holding on to 1t. The money came few days afterwards New Orleans National Bank check for $l5,00o-my ticket drawing one tenth of the capital prize. It came by Adams Express, and paid the charges and got the money. That is the whole story."- Washington CD. @ Star, May g.

An An.eao.e of w.esssr.


 One of the best anecdotes of Daniel Webster, as illustrative of that ex. alted and exAlting character which his mind pre-eminently possessed, was told by the late St, George Tucker Campbell, of Philadelphia, himself . lawyer of great and deserved distinc- ton.
 Mir. Campbell said that having been retained in a somewhat famous case at time when MT. Webster was de- tained by his senatorial duties at Washington, the conduct of the case through all the preliminaries de- vOlved upon him, it being agreed that Mir. Webster should deliver the clos ing argument. "But," said Mr. Camp bell, "day after dsy went without bringing the great expounder, until tho very last day before that on which the closing argument was to hc aeliv- cred, and l was in despair. I was sit- ting in my room at the hotel, debat- ing with myself what to do, when Mir. Webster was announced. After the little civilities had passed he asked mo to tell him about the cass.
 "Why, MT. Webster said I, is 1t possible you know nothing of the case?'
 "Nothing whatever sAld he. Tall me about it.
 al was utterly dumbfounded, and i, pointing to a pile of testimony foot deep on the table, I said: 'IIow am to convey all that to you In tho little time that Is left to us?'
 "He said: oh, never mind details. Give me the case generally and the salient points.'
 "He sat down at the table opposite me, and gave him rapid synopsis of the case, which took two hours and more One point l especially called his attention to. The opposing coun- sel were bent on securing a continu- ance of the case, while our interests demanded an immediate decision. As a reason against granting the continu- ance cited the fact that the other side had protraoted the cross examin- ation excessively, occupying six days in the case of one witness.
 "Mr. Webster bade me good night after had concluded and went to bed. The next morning he came into court as serene and majestic as love himself, while was nervous and apprehen- sive to the last degree. He began his address in the court with that slow, ponderous gravity that was no char acteristic of him in the outset of his forensic effort, then gradually warmed and quickened. listened spellbound, for in essence 1t was nothing but what had pumped into him in the two hours and a half talk of the day before. But how transmitted and transformed. To give you an idea of the transformation l will take the point to which I have alluded. He rendered it thus;
 "They ask for a continuance! Why, may 1t please the court, they have taken at this hearing as much time in the cross examination as 1t took the Almighty to create the universe 1"
 That represents the difference be- tween his speech and my talk; my simple six days grew to the colossal figure l have described under the magical touch of his genius, and this instance was characteristic of the whole.

An Editors Opinion.

The following letter is high com pliment in that it is from one of the best newspaper men in the country, the managing editor of the Chicago Netcs:

 MY DEAR READ: Allow me to thank you for writing Lien Gam sett."' enjoyed every word of 1t. It is . good story, well told, and the characters seem to live, move and has c their being in world we know-not in an ideal sphere which the ordinary mortal Is not permitted to inhabit. I thank you particularly for presenting to the public . newspaper man for whom newspaper men need not blnsh. Len GaaseH has intelligence, self-re- spect, cournge and, what is even more rare in the newspaper man we meet in books and on the stags, e much knowi- edge of the business e could b. ob- tsined in . country ofies. The jour- nalist of the average novelist seldom kn0ws the difference between . galley prss and . leading editorial, and serves only to make the author ridicu- lOus in the eyes Of newspaper men, and newspeper mon contemptibie in ths eyss of uninitiated rsaders. Ths rival editor, regret to ny, is slso . trne type of . much too numesous class. I command your judgment in marrying him to . woman who had the good sense to releGste him to manual labor.

 "Yes," she whispered, breathlessly.
 "To ask you to become my wife. I know, dearest, that it is bold, it is presumptuous, for ms to do 90. You are so much superior to me. I am, I feel, unworthy of you, but"
