STEALING.
Ben. Jackson, the colored man who was ar
rested on a charge Of stealing horse from
Mrs. Annie Miller, in South Washington, was
tried in the Police Court to-day for grand
larceny. Mr.. Moss plead not guilty for him.
Mrs. Offutt, an old colored woman from Airing
ton, who bought the horse, told an amusing
story of the prisoner, saying that last Friday
Jackson drove to her home near Arlington
with the horse which she called "creetor. {"
Jackson was afraid of the dog, but she told him
that the dog could not get at him while he was
on the horse. She opened the gate and he
came in. He told her that her husband had
sent him there with the horse, and told him
that if he (Offut) did not return before 4
O'Clock. his wife would give him (Jackson) 80
According to the old woman's statement she
suspected something wrong, and told Jackson
that she did not know whether to give him the
money or not, as there were so many beats
going through the countay, and he might be
one of them. Jackson, she said. informed her
that he was mot one of them BEATS" that he
was REV. Peyton, of Randolph" and asked il
she had not seen him preaching in the village.
She informed the reverend gentleman that she
had not seen him, because she attended the
Methodist church in Convalescent camp and
not the Baptist church in the village. The
court heard other evidence and held Jackson
for the grand jury.

Merely An Emblem.

New York, March 16.-The executive
committee Of the American party APP
pointed a committee to wait on Mayor
Grant and request him to veto the reso-
luton of the board of aldermen provid-
ing for the placing of the Irish flag over
the city hall on st. Patrick's day.
Mayor Grant denied the eanes for the
following roasons: 1.-THE display of the
Irish flag with the American flag on st.
Patrick's day is not an ~infraction of the
dignity of American citizenship. The
Irish people here rave been c~onspicu-
ously patriotic without abating their
devotion to their native land. The
Irish flag is not a national standard, but
represents only the aspirations of a peo-
pie for liberty. 1t has been the custom
to display the flag on the occasion re-
ferred to, and there is no reason to de-
viate from the practice.

WINDOWS Denial.

WASHINGTON, March l6.-secretary
Windows attention was called to a
newspaper statement that he was over
ruled in the matter of the appointment
of Assistant Secretary Bachelor. The
story was that he had rendered the place
to Coon; that the latter had accepted and
that the appointment of Bachelor was
in direct opposition to his wishes. 1t
is further stated that Bachelor ..as
Platt's man, would have charge of the
treasury patronage. Mr.. Window said
he did not usually notice newspaper
criticisms, but this was SO unfair and
misleading that he did not like to let it
go unchallengcd.
