He Denied Too Much

Thomas Howard, colored man, was
before Judge Miller this morning charged
with carrying concealed weapons. Police
Officer Fenter and several other witnesses
testified that Howard had a loaded re-
volver in his possession and that he
handled it very carelessly. When asked
what he had to say in his own behalf
Howard tried to convince the Judge that
he never owned revolver and that he
had never seen or been acquainted with a
singles witness who appeared on the
stnnd

Parko Of the Washington and Georgetown
Railroad argued with Senator Mcmillan
Monday afternoon in favor of the pro-
posed change in the route of the road.
The curves around the Garfield statue
are veNing problem to the company in
laying the new cable, and they desire to
remedy the matter by running the road
up north Il street and across the east front
Of the Capitol, which plan does not seem
to meet with much favor.
The company also requests permission
TO extend its tracks UP Fifteenth street
from New York avenue to ! street, and
thence down | street to Fourteenth street
The change in route is done to keep the
line from conflicting with the Metropol-
itan Railroad tracks on Fourteenth street,
between New York avenue and III street.
This plan has also met with opposition
by the propcrty-ownors residing on l
street.
The companys request to extend the
line in Georgetown to the Free Bridge
has met with approval and IL is probable
that they will be allowed to avoid the
curves at Twonty-sixth street by crossing
the M-street bridge, which will have to
be strengthened TO stand the travel. The
cost of making this change in the struo-
ture is estimated mt $4,000.

Edward Bell, an old colored man, was
sent to the workhouse this morning for
having committed an assault upon officer
Jet Of the Seventh Precinct.
The officer said how Bell had struck at
him with a heavy cham, and then went
into the back yard and procured an AK,
which he threatened to strike him with.
Bell. with tears in his eyes, appealed for
leniency, but Judge Miller told him that
the assault was an aggravated one and
that there was no excuse for it.

PERCEPTIONS shore line, q sort Of cut hos-
lowed out Of the main body Of the island,
through which q creek reached the sea.
After taking look at the place himself,
Zach French ventured the opinion that ne
could make q landing there. The coast
seemed to be less precipitous and its outline
was broken at rather sharp angle. There
was also q narrow opening in the line OF
reefs evidenced by the absence Of breakers.
In short half hour the steam launch was
lowered away, Captain Willis himself being
in command of it. With him were Zach
French and others necessary to man the
launch Out of caution, two rifles, two
hatchets and several revolvers were taken
along. During the Captains absence the
mate was to keep the Molly's Hope In posi-
ton in the open roadstead and reply to any
signals which might be made.
At 1:30 the steam launch put OF and
headed for the shore, distant about mile.
As she entered the narrow passage count
less seafowls filed the air with shril cries.
In few minutes the launch struck gently
on sandy beach pierced here and there
with pointed rocks. Captain Willis, with
Zach and the two seamen, landed at once,
leaving the boat in charge of the engineer
and fireman, with orders to keep steam up

stream reached the sea, the four men soon

laughter. Then the stern sergeant poked
MS head in at the door and remarked of1cl-

luoge had sent the last jury there for slml-
Lar breach of decorum.

tnat every jury would be hung if he fur,

STARVATION AND QUICK vERDICTa
This lugubrous prospect of starvation
moved even the kicker They at once
agreed to acquit the prisoner and promiscyu-

docket had been disposed of the Judge an
nounced to the jury that he would now dis
charge them for the term with thanks for
tneir efficient and able services, and the
twelve thirsty but intelligent citizens filed
out, exchanging invitations in whispers to
go around the corner to old Ned Cum

But the humorous juror paused as they
passed the judge and, ,gravely addressing the
court, said: "We, the jury, appreciate Your
Honor's compliment highly, as also the
many assurances of admiration that we have
received from Counselor jackson, and we
nope that should you ever get us in box
again 1t will be the same one and not that
from which We have just rescued the
prisoner" J. SIX.

BY the lack ofcoal The country has had to
import all the coal used in manufacturing,
and coal has ranged in price from S13 to SIG
a ton. A great deal of that now used comes
from Indian Territory, but the International
road, which runs from Eagle Pass on the
Texas frontier to Torreon, where it con-
meets with the Mexican Central, opens up
quite an extensive coal field, and am told
that large coal fields have been discovered
near The Tampico land. The Mexican
Southern will open up both coal and iron
mines, and there are bright prospects that
Mexico will soon be able to do great part
of her own manufacturing
ENTERPRISE OF THE MoRMoNs.
The immense area of new country and
new resources opened up by these roads
cannot be appreciated. The Mexican South
ern will tap some of the richest mining re-
gions of the country, and it will pass
through agricultural lands which are now
worth but few cents an acre, but which
will soon be extremely valuable. The same
is. true with the Mormon road, which,
though not under the Mormon Church, is
operated and being built by capitalists who
are Mormons, and at the head of whom is
