McClelland Given the Extent Of the Law for
Carrying q Pistol.
The McClelland- M cIntosh disturbance in
South Washington, corner of III and Union
streets, as heretofore published in The STAR,
was tried in the Police Court today before
Judge Miller.
Edward McClelland killed Henry Benton and
was acquitted of the killing, and now he is
living with Bentons widow. He told Judge
Miller that he and Annie Benton we're married
about two months ago, but when Prosecuting
Attorney MullOwney asked him the name Of
the minister he had nothing to say.
Old man Mcintosh, who is the woman 8
father, exhibited a terribly bruised face, while
there was not a mark on McClelland, although
he claimed that the old man assaulted him.
The part Of the case in which Judge Miller
was most interested was the charge against
McClelland of CARRYING concealed weapons
caliber and it was loaded.
1t was shown by the witness that when Annie
Benton or McClelland screamed her aged
father, Mcintosh, rushed upstairs from his shoe
shop and it was then that McClelland assaulted
him.
Policeman Dean of the police boat was
among the first to reach the room after the
trouble, and McClelland put his hand upon his
hip pocket as though he was going to draw a
pistol, but Policeman Frank Hughes. who came
in behind them, quickly grabbed his hand and
secured the pistol. -"
The defendant in his own behalf said that he
had taken the pistol from his wife and that he
had not carried pistol since he killed Benton
"You ought to run away from such weapon
every time you see one" said Judge Miller
Its astonishing that you should be found
with one in your pocket. If had my way
every person found with pistol in his pocket
would DO sent to the penitentiary. Then 1
think there would be fewer carriers Of deadly
weapons and the murders would be correspond
ingly few"
referring to the law the judge said that q
man has right to have pistol in his own
house for the protection of his castle, but he
has no right to be armed whom figuring in any
| such alteration.
A tine Of 900 or ninety days. the maximum
| penalty, was imposed, and u similar fine WA
| imposed upon him for assaulting the old man.
| Mir. G. Maurice Smith, his counsel, wanted
| an opportunity to argue the law in the pistol
case, and the judge held the case open until
Monday for that purpose.
| Mcintosh was fined go for keeping dis
orderly house and he said he could not pay a

WILKES STREET IMPROVEMENT,


While the United States is improving the
west end Of Wilkes street the Richmond and
Danville Railroad Company will be improving
its eastern end. The order has been given for
this purpose and next week Contractor Nc
Cuen will begin the work of making the proper
grade Of the street at each side of the east
end OF the tunnel and graveling the same. If
now some means can be devised by which the
street may be opened to its full width along
side the railway between Washington and
Alfred streets the thoroughfare will be one of
some importance to the public notwithstand-
ing its occupation by the railroad company.
FREE LIBRARY AND READING ROOM.
An effort will be made this month to secure
the reopening Of the Alexandria library, which
was established here in 1898 and has been
opened and closed at intervals in the years that
have elapsed since. The library room has
lately been occupied by the Art School, but the
Art School will be transferred this winter to
the Peabody Hall, and a room open in the even
ing for reading, &C.. in connection with the
public schools, would be of great public utility.
MARRIAGE LICENSES.
The clerk of the Alexandria corporation
court issued six licenses during the month of
October. During the same month four Alex
andria couples were licensed and married in
Washington and one Washington couple was
licensed and married in Alexandria

APPOINTMENT OF POLICEMEN.
Hon. Tim Campbell Says the Present System
is All Wrong

~AVaAs NAhnpDefi says the present system
Is All Wrong.
Among the Commissioners callers this morn
ing was Hon. Tim Campbell Of New York. His
visit was purely personal one and for some
time he talked Interestingly of District affairs
and promised his best efforts to further the
good of the city. As he was about to leave he
said:
There is one thing want to speak of before
go and that is your method Of appointing
policemen. The system is radically wrong and
as long as it remains in force you cannot ex-
pect good results. Policemen should be chosen
from the citizens and not from the army,
as that was not the intention of Congress. The
old law for the benefit of those who helped
save this grand country has completed its use-
fulness and intend to work for its repeal"
The Commissioners assured him that they
shared his views and had done every thing in
their power to get around the law.
