Horsewhipping an Old Man.

Melton A. Prince, young man whose face is
familiar in police circles, got drunk last night
and created some excitement at 18th street and
Pennsylvania avenue by horsewhipping an
elderly man named Ruggles W. Clapp. 1t is
stated that Clapp was in company with Mr..
John Amber Smith, and walking along
18th street, when Prince interfered with the
old man and the latter struck him with a basket
Prince, it is charged, followed the two gentle
men until they got in a coupe, when he took
the whip from the vehicle and used it vigor-
ously on the old man. The noise was heard
some distance away and attracted a large
crowd, among them Policeman Weeden, who
heard Prince express great satisfaction at the
result of his efforts and he was placed under
arrest. When taken to the station Prince OBJ
jected to being searched, and used some often
sive language toward the officers. He was
locked up until later in tie night, when he was
released on S45 collateral. To-day in the
Police Court the case was continued until We'd

The ELECTRIC LIsHT-A BITTER CONTEST
The two council boards were last night like
two dynamos with counter currents. In each
board the same question came up simultan-
eously. The joint committee on finance and
on light having been united by a vote of the
board for the special purpose of contracting for
electric lighting OF the city on the best terms,
had since the previous meeting of the councils
held several sessions invited proposals and ac-
cepted, by a vote Of to 2, the proposal of the
Schuyler Electric Lighting company. The
effect of that vote was differently under
stood by the majority and the minority
Of the committee. The majority held
tract, and they did SO, Chairman Marbury sign
ing the acceptance Of bid and preliminary
contract. The minority held that no contract
could be made until the matter was referred
back to the city council for their action. Hence,
when the board met, MIR. Snowden, of the lower
board, held that no contract had been made
and introduced resolution requesting the
committee not to sign a contract until it had
been first passed upon by the city council. But
a substitute for this, declaring the approval BY
council Of the action OF the committee
in making the contract, was adopted by
Moore, Fisher. Sronau, Whiting, i He1rle.
Waddy, Smoot, Strider, Bayne, and Kelly
Snowden. In the aldermen the ma
jority was the other way, and the same resolu-
ton against the contract, which had failed In
the council, was introduced by Alderman
Burke, and the vote stood-yeas, Aldermen Ag-
new, Burke, Bryant, and Leadbeater; nays, Al
dermen Marbury and Mckenzie. Both houses
then adjourned without an effort to settle their
and the result viii be that the
city will have electric lights under the contract
with the Schuyler company.

At IL O'Clock this morning the steamer 7. Y.

foot Of 7th street. having on board large num-
Der Of the most prominent lawyers in WASH
ington. They were members of the Bar asso-
citation and we're bound for Marshall Hall,
where to-day they hold their annual shad bake.
There was plenty to eat on board, and the
thirsty ones, judging from the looks Of things
on board classed as freight, had been looked
after. The crowd was indeed Jolly one, and
resembled more lot of school boys
out for q good time than stern law
yers They stood about in groups laughing
and chatting over their prospective trip. One
group, which was particularly gay, contained
Secretary Noble and Attorney General Miller.
All Of the judges of the local courts accompa-
MED the party. Chief Justice Fuller and JUS
tees Miller and Harlan, Of the United States
supreme Court, were among the invited guests.
1t is the lawyers day off, and the courts are al

saber, carbine, and revolver, and have a
service uniform of brown linen blouse

often than the regular ranchero dress of

housings of fooled and embroidered

ON THE GRAND CANAL.

Early Morning Scenes in Venice-Market-
Men on the Way to the RiaIto.
The first sign of life on the Grand
Canal in the early morning is the pass
/ ing by of long barges laden with green
vegetables and fruit from the low, fiat
| island of MaZzorbo, and destined for the
| market at the Rialto. One such has
passed as we write: it's sail is of rich
Indian red with dark blue tip, fillet-
| work border running round it, and in
Its center design in orange of St.
George and the dragon. The big rud.
der is gaudily painted in green and
white, and has picture of the Madonna
on the part that is above the water. The
men who are polling the barge along add
to the variety of color by one of them
wearing pink shirt and purple trousers
The whole thing, together with it's green
load, looks, as the first rays of the sun
CLINT upon it, like bit of a broken rain
bow that has dropped into the canal and
is drifting along on the eddies. Now
comes a barge heaped up with coal.
now one with bales of cotton
for the factory lately established
here. This is followed by an
other whose cargo of square white
deal boxes is guarded by soldier at
each end of the boat. and the red flag
that floats over it tells us that it is dyn-
amite that is passing by. OF a more
peaceable sort is the next that we no.
tice. A small fiat boat, hardly more
than a curved board, is propelled by two
tall. brown-robed figures, two Capuchin
friars, who, with bare heads and san.
daled feet and with cords girdling their
waists, are off on begging expedition,
hoping to return with their Franciscan
cane basket filled with good things fol-
their monastery's fare. Presently a
barca approaches the stone landing
place beside our palace. This barca is
a palmer sort of gondola, without its
graceful, dignified steel prov. Out of it
come, tumbling over each other, about
fifty soldiers. An early-astir, itinerant
seller of an Italian Complete Letter
Writer" with quick eye to business
who happens to come up, seizes the OPP
portunity, and in a moment his bag is
open. He pulls out heap of books,
and with ready wit reads suitable
sample of the contents OF his book:
"Letter from soldier in Abyssinia to
his brother in Italy" Iii an instant the
soldiers are crowding round him, listen
ing with interest, many producing the
few coins with which they can become
possessors of the little manual, which
they scan eagerly for something to fit
their own particular case as they are
hurried away up the narrow lane

TREASURES OF DELPHI.
a Picture of the City as 1t Was In the Best
DAYS of Greece.

a Picture of the City as 1t Was In the Best
Days of Greece.
Let us trust that the American schools
at Athens may speedily obtain funds
enough to do some good digging at Del
phi. 1t makes ones heart leap to think
of the treasures they are sure to find
there, Notwithstanding the thefts of
Nero, Constantine the Great, and other
scoundrels.
To get picture of Delphi as it was in
the best days of Greece, after the build
ing of the great temple by the Alce
mondR, read the tenth book of Pausa-
Mas. He tells us of four temples in a
row at the entrance to Delphi. He then
describes what was to be found within
the sacred precincts of Apollo: A
statue of Phyalius of Croton, bull in
brass by Theopropus the Eginetan,
votive Offering and marble statues from
Tegea and Laced@monis; brazen horse
by ,Antiphanes of Argos; the chariot of
Amphiaraus; the horses of the Taren-
tines in brass; the statues of the Epig
oni; the treasury of the Sicyonians;
statues of Leto, and Apollo, and Arte-
mis- shooting at Tityus; treasures of
Athenians, Thebans, and Syracusans,
hung with the spoils of war and adorned
with statues; a portico built by the
Athenians with money which they got
war from the Peloponnesians; a brazen
head of the Peonian bison; bronze
dragon offered by the Greeks in common
after the battle of Platea; statues of
foot soldiers and cavalry by Onatas; the
votive axes of Periclytus; a bronze wolf;
gilt statue of Phryne by Praxiteles
Offered by herself); statues of cavalry
leaders seated on horseback; brazen
OK from EubHa; statue of Sardus;
horse offered by Callias the Athenian;
bronze statue of Homer on a pillar; the
tomb of Achilles son; the Lesche or pub
lie hall; with an enormous number of
painted figures of Polygnotus and stat
ues innumerable of Athena and Apollo.
The great temple of Apollo was adorned,
as to its eastern architrave, with gilded
shields from the battle of Marathon. On
the pediments were statues of the gods
and of the setting sun, of Hercules STAY
ing the Lern@an hydra, Bellerophon and
the Chim@ra, Dionysius and giant,
etc. These are only small fraction of
the riches of Delphi as described by
Pausanias. A single one of these works
of art, if recovered, would be worth the
price asked by the Greeks for the right
of the whole site.-Boston Transcript.
