Liquor Cases I'm the Police Court


The desk of Judge Miller in the Police Court
somewhat resembled a bar room this morning
when the case Of Michael Healy, for selling
liquor by the small, was on trial. Mr.. d. E.
Cahin appeared for the defendant and Mr..
Shlllington for the District. The prosecuting
witness was Officer Cutter. who testified that
on three several occasions he sent colored men
10 the place (near I'd and streets), searching
them first. and when they came back they had
the squor IN half pints, and that they spent
then own money, but be made il good to them
afterward. The two men, Lewis and Butler,
acknowledged getting the liquor, but denied
that Cutter said anything about reimbursing
them They, however, acknowledged that Cut
ter had passed half pint of whisky to one Of
them MIR. Cutter, on being recalled, said that
the men refused money and he got half pint
of whisky from Cars, which he gave them.
The hearing was continued till Friday MORN
ing.
The next case was that Of Charles Edelin,, B
near 18th street southeast, charged with a SINH
lar ofense. Mr.. f. p. Gloss appeared for him.
Officer Kramer testified that, with his partner,
Fitzgerald. that they gave William Robinson
some money, with which he bought whisky of
Edehn. They searched him before he went
In, and then giving him a bottle he returned
with thesiquor.
Robinson testified that he got whisky at Ede-
inns Saturday night, Sunday, Monday and
"Wednesday OF last week.
On eross-examination witness said that his
object was to break up liquor selling, for there
was much disorder about the place. His wife
was a white woman and she and other neigh
bors had been annoyed by the conduct around
the place.
A fine Of sl05 was imposed and an appeal
was noted

WASHINGTON JOCKEY CLUB.
It Is Proposed to Buy the Old Bennings
Race Track.

The organization Of the Washington Jockey
club was perfected at meeting held last even
ing at Wizards, when the following officers
were elected: F. NJ. Draney, president; Samuel
Ross, vice president; o. @. Staples, treasurer;
Robt. E. Morris, secretary. The names Of the
executive committee and the committee on by
laws appointed at a previous meeting were
printed in yesterdays STAR. An examination
is being made of the title to the property known
as the Bennings race track. The capital stock
will be not less than $4,000 nor more than
100000.
The Highland club were willing to have the
club establish their track on their place. but
after a survey Of the ground it was deemed i'm
practicable, inasmuch as il would require a
large outlay Of money to get the ground in con-
dltlon for a track, and this place was abandoned
Next a site between Alexandria and Washing
ton was looked at, but after considerable talk it
was abandoned because of its being out of the
way. Next several places on the lines of the
Baltimore and Ohio and Baltimore and Poto-
mac railroads between this city and Baltimore
were inspected, but proved unsatisfactory on
account OF the distance from the city and the
large outlay Of money necessary to construct
mile track. After several inspections of the
old race track at Bennings it was finally con-
cluded that thot place offered the best advan-
tages, as the track is substantially completed
now, thereby saving a large outlay in the out

CAPT. LUsK's RECOMMENDATION.
HONORS TO PROF, RILEY.
Why He Was Made Chevalier of the
Legion of Honor.

The recent action of the French government
in creating Prof. Chas. Valentine Riley a
chevalier of the Legion of Honor has nothing
to do with his official connection with the pres
ent exhibition. Prof. Riley's long researches
in applied entomology, with view of protect
ing American agriculture from insect injury,
have often proved of value to other parts of
the world; but in few instances have they had
such striking and widespread practical results
as in France. 1t was he who discovered that the
phylloxera was an American insect and proved
its identity with the French pest. He studied
the question carefully. visiting France in 1871
to confirm his views which were deemed SO
important that the French government sent
Prof. Planchon on special mission to Amer
lea to investigate them. His studies of the
American vines, which resist the phylloxera
and the recommendation to use them in France
have been productive of important results. which
II is difficult to estimate. So. likewise in 1884
when a new disease, the mildew, also an impor-
tation from America, was beginning to ravage
the vines of France he visited Montpelier,
and in an address delivered at a special meet
ing in his honor described and introduced a
new principle OF spraying nozzle, since known
as the Riley nozzle, which, with notifications,
Is now universally used by French grape grow
ers in fighting the mldew.
In sending Prof. Riley the insignia of the
order NJ. Leopold Fay, minister of agriculture
wrote: "In comforting this high distinction
upon you the French republic has sought to
show its indebtedness for the important services
which you have rendered to the general agri-
culture of all countries, and particularly to
France, by your labors and discoveries. con-
slider II a personal honor to have had the occa-
sion to confirm to our chief magistrate the
excellence and Importance of your services"
NJ. Tisserand, director Of agriculture, wrote,
at the same time, to Prof. Riley as fol-
lows: sit is a small reward for your services.
and would have been granted long ago if you
had not declined to accept the honor France
Is but paving an old debt Of gratitude and I
am most happy in knowing that the Importance
of your work is thus recognized. "-Pdr,s Ga
bg1sdni.
1t is learned that Prof. Riley has also been
elected an honorary fellow of the chronological
society of London, an honor more highly priced
by him than that of being made cheyalier of
the Legion of Honor. Only two other Americans
have been thus complimented, and there are
only ten men living in the world who have the
title.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
On the 10th day of July, A. d. 1889, the Com
missloners in board meeting decided: THAT
graduates Of the normal school of this District
must have preference in all cases when ap-
pointment of teachers for the public schools
are TO be made"
They further ordered that teachers hereto
fore employed in violation of the rule pre-
seribed by the legislative act above cited should
not be re-emplOyed during the present year
unless all of the normal school ayailables have
been exhausted.
At meeting Of the school board held Mon
day, July 80 1889, the list of teachers submitted
by each local committee was approved by said
board. and in the lists submitted by the trus-
tee representing the colored schools in the
sixth school division and the trustee repre-
senting the seventh school division appear the
names OF teachers who were appointed during
the past school year who were not normal
graduates and whose appointments are pro-
hlblted by the law of the Legislative assembly
and the recent order of the Commissioners
above cited, while there are normal graduates
available. There are about thirteen graduates
of the class of 'S5 still unemployed.
There was appointed by Prof. Gregory during
the past school year at least four, ''and proba-
bly, more" to vacancies as they occurred in his
division, persons who were not graduates of
the normal school, and their names appear upon
the list approved by the trustees at their last
meeting, notwithstanding the order of the
Commissioners.
Dr.. Francis appointed one young lady not q
graduate OF the normal school, and abe is re-
appointed for the next school year.
The appointment Of the people above re-
ferred to by said trustees kept out OF EMPLOY
ment the same number of normal graduates
who we're legally entitled to said places and
their reapPointment will continue the wrong.
VIII these trustees be permitted to set aside
the law and override the Commissioners? Are
they greater than the law or the power which
created them? JAMES III. SMITH

Another movement is on foot in c.

Another movement is on foot in Cor
Wallis Just now, and there is no doubt
but that it will be carried-out. A steam
grist mill company is going to be organ
lied and the roaring of its mill will
probably he heard before the winter
comes again. w. A. Wells, T. Sam
uels, Pun. Avery and others are into
the project and already $4,000 worth
of stock has been subscribed. The
fit st named gentleman proposes giving
his property just north of the foot of
Monroe street, consisting of II large,
fine warehouse, inciuding the engine,
boiler and other machinery, and the
ground upon which it is situated, as a
portion of his stock, and Mr.. Samnels
is derious of'also getting into such a
scheme since his being thrown out of
of business by the burning of his
mill at Monroe. Several Others are
inclined in this direction. and as they
are all substantial citizens, everything
seems favorable Mr.. Wells is enthu.
siastic on the water ditch idea, but says
that he could not secure enough power
from it to run such a mill, as it would
require at least 70 horse power and
that would be nearly a third of what a
water ditch here would afford. But
then it is evidcat that "she's a CO."

PLENTY OF FALL.
Favorable Report by Civil
Engineer Cooper.
A STEAM GRIST MILL.
Over S13, 900 Worth of Stock taken
Already in It-Every
body Booms.

The size of the number present at
the water ditch meeting on Tuesday
night shows which way the wind
blows. The interest is grow ing more
apparent every day. At the meeting
Saturday night Mr.. Cooper only showed
how the water could be taken out OF
the Willamette near the Finley ware
house and carried to the heal of the
prairie which is twelve miles or more
above here, it being three or four miles
farther to tn warehouse. He thought
that IA survey had been made over tie
twelve miles, and did not.report any far
ther, but offered to go and make a
rough survey of the whole distance,
which was done and Oh Tuesday night
made a report. He said that in his
workings he found that an average OF
fifteen inches of fall to the mile could
be secured over the whole distance
which would give about eighteen feet
fall when Corvallis was reached; that
If di .ch eight feet wide and three feet
deep could be dug it would furnish
about 180 horse power After his re-
port was heard, committee was APP
pointed to raise 5000 tc pay for hiring
engineers to make ii thorough survey
of the route, estimate the cost of diff:
crent sized dltches over eight feet, so
that every thing would be i'll readiness
in Case of such Il project being carried
out as getting water power for Corval-
lis. Take it all over, the report o.
