A New Rule i'm the Police Court

Judge Miller, of the Police Court, has
adopted new rule that will work to the interest
of the prisoners. Hereafter the dock cases
will be heard first and the prisoners who are
convicted will be sent away speedily as posi-
BILE in order that they may get something to
eat before night after spending several hours
IN prison. Judge Miller said yesterday that
hereafter he would open court in the
morning at o:i5 O'Clock and proceed until
all the prisoners in the dock are tried
and disposed of. If that is done it will either
result IN the conviction or the discharge
OF the prisoner. Then. he said, those who are
convicted and sent down will be able to get
something 10 eat soon as possible The
Judge said that once in a while the Maria ia
late and the prisoners are not at court in time
Ihe new arrangement, the Judge thought
would assist the officers. They can have their
cases tried early and then return to their duty
or homes.
Mr.. Dumont said he was glad the new rule
had been established, he was in court at q
O'Clock every morning ready for business.
Judge Miller said the witnesses in the United
States cases could be summoned to appear a
NTH later IN the day, probably 10 O'Clock. and
then there would be as little inconvIence as
possible. lie said he did not want the new rule
To operate hardship on the police and
spoke of the men on dog watch IL the morning.
A policeman said that if the old rule of per-
hitting officers on dog watch to 20 home aud
get their breakfast before going to court was
again established there would be no cause for
complaint.

NAMING SUBURBAN STREETS.
The Plan Proposed by Engineer Howell
to Capt. Rossell.

During Capt. Symons' administration as
sistant to the engineer commissioner he de-
vised plan for designating the streets north
of the Boundary by giving them the names of
some Of the principal cities OF the United
States, commencing with Albany and ending
with GAINESVILLE. The recent addition of new
subdivisions has completely exhausted these
names, and now the question arises what names
are TO be given to additional streets. Engineer
Howell has given the matter considerable
study, and yesterday submitted the following
letter to Capt Rossell upon the subject:
Considering the increasing number of
suburban subdivisions, especially IN the north
west section of the city, the question OF names
for the new suburban streets has become a
question of greater importance than ever and
1t has occurred to me a more desirable system
than that adopted of naming the east and west
streets after the principal cities and rivers and
lakes can be adopted. At present the city
series, beginning with Albany and ending with
GAINESVILLE. has been exhausted in the north
west and we now take up the lakes. rivers and
sound series, beginning with Albemarle.
Now l respectfully submit for your approval
the following system: Call A street North First
avenue, then W street north will be 22d avenue,
emitting as Is done in the city; then Albany
street will be 23d avenue, Baltimore street 9th
avenue, and 50 on north. adopting the same
style for the east and west streets south.
Leaving the north and south streets as they are
the numbers can be continued in each di-
rection from the Capitol to the District line.
and we can tell with ease just how many blocks
such street Is from the Capitol or from any
intermediate streets, and We will be relieved
OF the present long names and the confusion
that may result from having two systems, one
of cities and of lakes. rivers and sounds.
The diagonal avenues can remain as at present
and continue to be named after the states The
mr. ant ufln tod "a. han nalt
more, &C.. can be used for the place streets,
east and west and north and south. the place
streets coming in regular alphabetical order,
east and west and north and south This change
need not take place now within the city limits.
but the suburban streets can follow this system
without interfering with the present city plan.
and If future need requires it the east and
west city streets could be changed also"

"A Sea Captains Resolution.

Il will never again sail my vessel under the
American flag. i have been master of a vessel
for twenty years, but / will haul down the
colors have been sailing under"
This stirring announcement was made bv
Capt. Amsburg of the brig Jennie Hardness in
the United States court in Philadelphia yester-
day when Commissioner Edmunds discharged
the ten sailors who were accused of setting the
ship on fire on July 20, 1899. in the harbor of
Manila. W. Amsburg. the first mate. admitted
being IN the hold smoking cigar on the day
of the fire while the men were loading sugar.
Commissioner Edmunds was not satisfied that
the vessel was set on fire; he thought there
was probability that it might have been acct
dental He said the guilty man was in the
dock, but the testimony was not sufficient to
hold any of the men and he, therefore, dis
charged them from custody
