Tried to Hang Herself.

Ida Mitchell, colored girl of ill-fame, was
arrested yesterday by Officers Frayser and
Sprinkle for being drunk and disorderly. A
good case of "snakes" developed at the station
house, and she became so crazy that 1t was
necessary to handcuff and tie her up in the cell
About midnight she became rational and the
cuffs and ropes were taken off, and then when
left to herself she attempted suicide by hang
fastening one end to the door, tied the other
around her neck, She was released in time,
and then another prisoner was placed in the
cell to watch her. She made affairs lively by
yelling the rest of the night.

Maj. MCKINLEY has reputation for fairness,
even in the warmest political discussion, which
seems in danger of serious injury in the pres
ent blistering campaign in his district. lie is
quoted as saying in recent speech that 'the
opposition, the bitterness, and the crlticismn
provoked by his Tariff bill 'has come from
those that acknowledge no allegiance to your
flag, the flag of the stars, that moves and lives
in all the grand American nation.n In this Mr..
MCKINLEY perpetrated a gross libel on thou
sands OF men, who are as good Americans, as
good citizens, and as intelligent as himself.
Not few newspapers that advocate the prin-
eiples of the Republican party have been among
the most unsparing critics Of the Mckinney
bill. The Major must be greatly perturbed at
the prospects of defeat to allow himself to fall
into statements of the kind quoted.

Precinct, had their attention called last even
ing to the actions of colored man who had in
his possession splendid bay horse The man
entered the stables of the Union Transfer
Company, on ID street, and was trying to make
dicker for the sale of the horse, the price
named being $40. The appearance of the man
in his possession, and the officers not being
satisfied with his statement, placed him under
arrest. On the way to the station-house the
darkey attempted to make his escape, but be-
fore going twenty yards was recaptured. At
the station-house he tried to explain that he
had secured the horse on Twenty-eighth street,
and was Offering him for sale for another party.
The conflicting stories told made the officers
still more suspicious, and they will hold him
for further developments.

by members of band of Italian assassins. But

perate criminals. Nothing could be more un-

The officials of our penpatetic Police Court
may find some consolation for the inconvenience
they are put to these days in the fact that they
are receiving more public attention than ordi-
narily falls to the lot of their humble but impor-
tant free dispensary fjustice. The daily papers
are deyotng a great deal of space to the dolngs
of the homeless court, although the accounts of
the proceedings are not as respectful as might
be wished. But then it is exceedingly difficult
to invest with solemnity these trials, in which

judgment and receive their alternative of $40 or

men have retired from business and professional
pursuits, Justice SAMUEL f. M1LLER's mental

When properly conducted there is no nobler
sport than horse-racing, nor one that gives
more keen an1 innocent pleasure to those who
love to watch trials of speed and endurance.
The Washington sJockey Club is making a
commendabe effort to keep alive the interest
in the sport in the National Capital and in
this it merits the cooperation of all public
spirited citizens. The autumn meeting at the
clubs track at Bennings will begin on Tuesday,
continuing eight days, and many good horses
will be on hand to contest for the purses. The
race meetings have in the past been a delightful
feature of life at the National Capital, and
doubtless the coming one will not be in any
wise lacking in interest and attractiveness.
