VIII Haul Down the American Flag and
Sail Under Another.

10y w Nuo bl9poN~h'I
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, January 27.-United
States Commissioner Edmunds has for some
DAYS been hearing charges against ten
sailors of the bark Jennie Hardness of
having set fire to the bark in the harbOr OF
Manila, in the PHILIPPINE Islands, while
loading sugar. The examination closed to-
day and the Commissioner discharged all
the men from custody on the ground of lack
of evidence against them. In discharging
the men Commissioner Edmunds said that
he felt satisfied that the vessel had been
set on FIRE, but there was probability that
it might have been accidental. He thought
the guilty man was among the prisoners,
but the testimony had not been sufficient
TO hold any of the men, and he would
therefore discharge them all. The an
nouncement was evidently a surprise to
superintendent Amsbury, the master OF
the Jennie Hardness, who, when the Com
missioner had concluded. jumped TO his
feet and raising his right hand said:
will haul down the American flag from my
ship. God forgive me, but I'll do it.. |
have been a master for thirty years, but If
this is Justice dealt out here I'll sail under
another flag" Then he crowded his hat
upon his head and strobe out OF the door.
The Commissioner said nothing in reply.

HE HAD JACKSON IN HIS HACK.
A Driver Who Thought He Could Afford
to Defy Policemen.

Sampson Tyler. one of Peter Jackson's ad-
mirer., was out riding in hack Sunday night
with the Australian slugger. The driver was
Louis Jefferson. The occupants of the vehicle
wanted to see as much Of the city as possible
in a short time and Louis was consequently
driving his horses at fast rate of speed. Sew
eral policemen saw the unlawful dri wing, but
thought they would make some allowance for
the pugilist. Probably they had some respect
for the fact that he had knocked out all corners
last week. Policeman Frazier, who saw the
hack on 18th street, called to the driver to stop.
and attempted to grab the horses, bth jefferson
first dashed the horses and then the officer and
drove on down the street. In turning the cor
ner of street the vehicle was smashed and
Policeman Matthews arrested Jefferson. The
prisoner resisted, and could not be taken until
he felt the weight of the officers club num-
Der of times. Jackson walked quietly away,
but Tyler was summoned as a witness. The
driver was charged with disorderly conduct,
fast driving and assault. He left $50 collateral
Tor his appearance.
The charges against Jefferson were continued
in the Police Court yesterday afternoon until
tomorrow,

BUCK IN JAIL AGAIN.
Deputy Joyce Arrives This Morning
With the Recaptured Prisoner.

This morning Deputy Maurice Joyce of the
marshal's Office arrived by Baltimore and Ohio
railroad from New Orleans with his prisoner,
j. B. Buck, the man sentenced to the Albany
penitentiary for the larceny of Mrs. Potter
diamonds and who escaped from Jail here.
They came by Baltimore and Ohio railroad
from Cincinnati arriving about 345 O'Clock,
but being in a sleeper, which was left a little
way out on the road, they did not leave the car
till after o'clock. They were met by Deputy
Mccormick and the little van and were driven
to the Jail, where Buck was in little time back
in cell safely locked up. Buck does not APP
pear to have changed any and is in good spirits
and ready to take his punishment. He is APP
parently unconcerned rs to whether he will be
tried on the indictment for prison breach in
breaking Jail or not .

Trial of the Woman Who Used Mrs
Harrison's Name.

Yesterday afternoon in the Police Court Mrs
Harrison's name figured in an alleged case of
false pretenses. The prisoner in the case was
well dressed little woman about thirty or
thirty-ive years old. Her name appeared on
the warrant as Caroline Clements and she was
charged, as heretofore mentioned in THE STAR,
with obtaining money from colored woman
named Annie Coleman. Although Mrs. Harri-
sons name was made part of the court record
she was not summoned as a witness.
Mrs. Coleman, the colored woman who had
expected on Mrs. Clements representations to
have assisted at the White House st. Patrick
night, showed the effects of her disappointment
when called as witness, although she has the
material for bright evening costume.
Judge Smell defended the accused and heard
the evidence of witnesses. The evidence estab-
Gshed prima facie case against the little
woman and Judge Miller held her in $500
bonds to await the action of the grand jury
Being unable to give bail she was committed to
Jail.
Should the case ever come to trial in the
Criminal Court it is likely that Mrs. Harrison
Will be summoned as witness.
