And Patrick Shelby, Charged With Keep
ing an Unlicensed Bar, Escaped.
Patrick Sheehy had license two years ago
to sell whisky at place on the 7th street
road, but was not given license last year nor
is his place licensed now.
Sergeant Daley and Policeman Preston had
Sheehy before the Police Court today charged
with keeping an unlicensed bar. Ex-Police-
man Redden, who is now a street car driver,
was seen in the place drinking beer, but when
he was called 10 the stand he said that he
bought scent sandwich and was treated to
the beer. He said he did not know Sheehy,
but he had been talking to him about the races.
Lawyer Shillington, for the defendant,
examined the witness and then questioned the
two officers about man whom they saw drink
ing glass of beer in the place.
Mr.. Shillington then moved a dismissal OF
the case and argued the proof
The judge said he had moral idea of what
took place in the saloon, but the proof was
little short and the case was dismissed.

Not the Washington and Arlington Bill.


To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Your report Of the proceedings Of the House
yesterday states that the Washington and Ar
lington bill was called up, debated, amended
and recommitted. As the Congressional Record
shows, that bill was not before the House, but
another and very different bill was, viz: The
Georgetown and Arlington bill. The latter bill
provides for railroad starting at the terminus
OF the Washington and Georgetown railroad on
NJ street. thence across the Aqueduct bridge
through the Arlington estate. The Washing
ton and Arlington bill provides for a line be-
ginning at the Center Market along, B street,
Virginia avenue, Goth and NJ streets to point
on the river opposite the Three Sisters, and
thence across on a bridge, to be built by the
the Arlington estate: in brief a continuous ride
from the center Of Washington to Arlington
for one fare and asking nothing from Congress
but the simple right OF way. X.

conscience was so badly smitten with
the wrong that he inflicted upon the
innocent man that after eight years
he came forward last week and ac-
knOwIedged that Shields was innocent
and that the store was burned by its
owner for the insurance money. Dur
ing imprisonment in thepennitentiary
Shields contracted consumption. He
was overcome with Joy at the an
nOunCement OF the facts. and while the
governor was signing his pardon he
died. The number OF colored men
convicted falsely in these United States

A bright idea now struck the party
they might draw the snake out with

thickness of mans thumb, was hitch

and fastened there, thus doubling its

to put on the strain gradually. Little

Tighter and tighter grew the ropes,
when ''crack" went one of them. Still
the strain was increased, when ''crack"
the other had snapped also, leaving
the snake in statu quo.
The snake was finally dislodged by
counter mining, and killed with
charge of buckshot. When measured
