How Faithful Public Servant is
Treated.


Everyone knows old Scott, the col.
ored grave digger, and the reliable
smallpox officer. It has fallen to
Scott's duty to bury the smallpox
dead, and during this epidemic his
hands have been full. Yesterday the
city laborers were paid, and Scott's
bill, including expense of horse and
wagon, was SS5 for last month, this
bill was cut down to S37. Scott quit
and refused to take out two smallpox
cases this morning. The balance of
the money coming to this honest,
fearless man, who has served the city
so long and well, was no doubt con-
yerred into the corruption fund. Our
city is in a terrible condition. The
entire labOring force has been assess
ed to make up this Doodle fund. Let
every honest voter put this in his
hat. -

BOTH CLAIMED LIZZIE.

But the Judge Concluded They Could Settle
1t Between Themselves.
William Marshall and James H. Matthews.
colored men. more than thirty-five years old,
were in the Police Court this morning to
answer charges growing out of the claim of
each that Lizzie johnson belonged to him.
Matthews was attired in blue suit of clothes
and blue plaid shirt to match. Brass buttons
on his vest indicated that he was either spe-
cial officer or wanted TO look like policeman.
Marshall did not have blue clothes. but heavy
gold chain attached to something in his pocket.
and a silver medal suspended from the chain
gave him the appearance of q man of means
Both mel were charged with disorderly con-
duct, and Marshall was also charged with carry
ing a revolver. They were all engaged in
difficulty near 23d and streets last night. and
there was pistoi drawn in the word war. but
no one was injured.
II amt married to Lizzie" said Matthews.
but she's the onliest wife I've got"
Il brought Lizzie here fifteen years ago from
Montgomery county and We have three children
living" said Marshall.
''Have you left this man?' asked the court
referring to Marshall.
Il want to leave him." was Lizzies reply.
After hearing Of alleged threats to Kill the
woman and of the part the weapon took in the
transaction, the court had an idea that Mat
thews had the pistol and for that reason the
charge against Marshall was dismissed. The
disorderly charges were also dismissed.

Congregation.

Rev. DIR. Doiner Pleasantly Surprised by His
Congregation.
Last evening the regular prayer meeting at
st. Paurs English Lutheran Church was
attended by a full house. Rev. Dr. Domer, the
pastor, related some interesting "reminiscences
of his early days in the ministry in the noun
tains of Pennsylvania, and spoke pleasantly of
the sixteen years he had served his present
charge. The services were closed about $50
o'clock but the people kept their seats, although
DR.. Domer vacated the platform. Mr.. 1. n
Kalb then, in appropriate remarks. spoke Of
this being their'pastors sixty-ffth birthday, Of
the respect and love in which he was held, and,
on the part Of the congregation, presented him
with handsome gold watch, suitably inscribed.
d.. DOmer said that the large attendance at
prayer indicated an unusual interest, but he
accepted the token with thanks and assured
them that he would take as good care Of it as
the watch which he had carried for tbirtv-fiye
years-the gift of one of his first congregations.
Capt. d. NJ. Allen then presented, in behalf of
the primary department Of the Sunday school,
a bouquet. as emblematic of their love and
esteem. After DIR. Domer's response the con-
gregation repaired to the lecture room, where
social converse and the discussion of cream and
cake were in order.

The Owner Of the Trunk Found.

The trunk captured by Officer Goucher We'd
nesday morning about o'clock from thief on
Massachusetts avenue between 10th and 18th
streets, after firing two or three shots at him,
and taken to the third precinct station for
Identification, has been restored to its owner,
and thereby hangs a rather peculiar story The
trunk and its contents belong to Miss Elliott,
who is a member of the "L'Africaine" party
who went over to Baltimore Tuesday to present
the burlesque there for charity. All the bag
gage of the party was ordered to be sent back
TO Washington at am. and to be delivered at
once, some one being on watch ut each house
TO receive it. At Miss Ellott's, 1903 Massa-
chusetts avenue, the driver was unable to
obtain response, and, as it was particularly
requested that the trunk be delivered promptly,
he concluded there was nothing for him to do
but leave it on the door steps, which he did
Here it was found a couple of hours later by
the thief, who picked 1t up and forthwith ran
into policeman and then started to run away
with il, but dropped it in his fright, and last
night 1t was found by the owner. In the mean
time the poor driver was having hard time to
prove that he was not the party who had
embezzled it and converted it to his own uses.

Chicago Natural Gas Usetl for Fuel.

-Four years ago natural gas was discovered on
the premises of a Chicago manufacturing COM
pany. The flow was small at first, but has in
creased right along, and has now become so
strong that the company has put in connec-
tions with its boiler furnaces and will use it for
fuel hereafter. This is the first instance Of the
kind in Chicago, and the starting up of the
furnace yesterday afternoon was quite an event.
1t is claimed that this is true natural gas and
probably connected with the Indiana field.
