A Cut Across the Forehead.

TWO BELLIGERENT YOUNG CoLORED MEN GET
INTO TROUBLE.
William Lancaster and Thomas Walker, we'll
dressed young colored men, met in a saloon ON
the north side of Pennsylvania avenue, near
Sd street, and discussed each others sparring
qualities, with view to giving an exhibition.
Lancaster insulted his companion by telling
him that he knew nothing about professional
sparring. They left the saloon and some harsh
words passed between them as they crossed the
avenue. They stopped in front of a saloon.
where they soon came to blows. Lancaster
drew a knife during the struggle and cut
Walker across the forehead. After a severe
go-as-you-please exhibition, the contestants
separated and apparently all was over. Walker,
who felt that Lancaster had overstepped the

loaded revolver. Being thus armed with a
murderous weapon and an ill-feeling toward
Lancaster Walker strolled back along the ave-
nue. toward where the fight occurred, but for
tunately for Lancaster, Policeman Jordan ap-
peared and arrested Walker before another
meeting was had. The loaded revolver was
found on him. This morning the case was
heard in the Police Court. Judge Miller told
Lancaster that he was lucky to be in court as
defendant, instead of being on a cooling-board
or in the morgue. a victim of a murderer
They were fined $40 or sixty day each for the
affray. and Walker was fined $50 or three
months for carrying pistol.

THE DEATH SENTENCE.

In the Criminal Court, Judge Montgomery,
to-day, the sentence Of death was imposed on
the young colored man, Nelson Colbert. con-
vieted, January Is, Of the murder Of Philip
Vented, on the Sd Of October last, at
the Columbia car stables, Il street northeast,
by shooting him. The time for the exec ution
is between the hours Of II and O'Clock on Fri
day. April next Colbert was employed at
the stables and had been discharged by the
deceased, when he demanded his pay, and

trial he was defended by Judge W. B. Smell and
Capt. II. L. Prince. The defense was that the
deceased used Q stick on the prisoner and the
homicide act was committed in hot blood, and
therefore was not murder. motion for q
new trial was fled and was argued last Satur-
day, and the court to-day fled his decision
thereon, overriding it.
The prisoner was called up for sentence and
betrayed no emotion until asked IL he had
anything to say why sentence should not be
pronounced; and then, with an effort, he said:
.'All can say Is did it accidentally. didn't
have any intention Of killing him."
The court said that the prisoner was about
the last man who would be taken for one who
had committed murder. The case was one ex-

only extenuation morally, but not legally, was
that drink made him reckless and vicious.

Washington, and thus the work was begun.
But Hallet merely began the work and yielded
to Jas. Hoban, superintendent of public build
ings, who continued the work upon Hallet's
plans, as well as could be. with rough sketches,
since the architect refused to furnish the de-
tail drawings in his possession. There was
considerable trouble about the building at this
time. Hallet thought he had been improperly
dismissed, and would furnish no assistance to
the surveyor" who succeeded him, and there
much uncertainty as to what the
plans Of the partially-completed build
ing were. The employment of another
architect availed nothing until in 1903,

a most desirable thing, and what he had always
expected was a part Of the original design

left to be bridged in some way, and q dome

present. 1t took the work Of Latrobe

in 1880. 1t was during Mr.. Latrobe's time that
the British burnt the building so that he had
the work of construction and reconstruction up

first cut. He built and rebuilt the old south
wing, rebuilt the old north wing, designed the
rotunda, constructed the old hall of Represent

the old Senate chamber, now occupied by the
Supreme Court. The rotunda and library were

First, when the nation was feeble, 1t was al
most destroyed: next, during its transition to
nobler proportion, the war Of the rebellion

further: the building was continued by volun-

then has been that of ornamentation to add to
the artistic effect. First the grounds we're ex-
tended, then the terrace added. The building
has been the work of many hands, and it has
increased in grandeur at every evolution. The
plan Of the building has been worked out as it
advanced, until it can fairly be said to have
grown. The first designer, Dr. William

WHO OPPOSE THE sUNDAY-REsT
The other side Of the Sunday rest" agitation
is beginning to come in. Yesterday afternoon
Senator Cockrell presented two petitions. The
first one was, he said, one of the stereotyped
petitions sent out by the Woman's Christian
Temperance union, and he called especial at
tention to the fact that that particular prayer
had but three names attached to it. The sec
ond one was the memorial of the st. Louis
Gymnastic society, which was. he said, cor
poration organized under the laws of Missouri,
and which, during the darkest days of the re-
bellion of 1861 to 1865, stood true to the Union.
The society demonstrated against the passage
of the two measures introduced by Mr.. Blair
"the so-called national Sunday bill and the
joint resolution proposing an amendment to
the federal Constitution, the object of which
seems to be the establishment of the Christian
religion as national religion"
"1he memoriaiists," said Mr.. Cockrell, estate
that they consider these propositions as an in
fringement of the liberty q conscience and a
violation Of the spirit of our Constitution, and
state their reasons very cogently against the
passage Of these two measures"

from Latrobe's taking charge. From him the
architects in charge of the work followed in an
almost direct line Of succession by apprentice

Bulhnch, was pupil Of Strickland. who had
learned architecture under the guidance of
Latrobe, and Walter, again, was succeeded by

A Berlin dispatch says that the recall Of Mr..

the troubles. The three powers might then,
the papers say, be represented by other trust
worthy agents, who would assist in bringing
about the friendly settlement desired.
