CHARGES PREFERRED BY MR. HELBIG.
He Claims That His Recent Arrest Was tn,
Result of a Policeman's Spite.


Result of a Policeman's Spite.
Mr.. F. W. Helbig has written to the Commits
sioners preferring charges against Police Officer
Mellen Of the eighth precinct, the name Of the
officers partner. Policeman Garvey, also ap-
pearing in the communication.
The complaint charges the officer with con-
duct unbecoming an officer aud drinking beer
and whisky while on duty. Mr.. Helbig further
charges that between the 18th day Of August
and the I'd day of November Policeman Mellen
made threats to divers citizens; that during
the trial of said: Mellen before the trial board
he made threat that he would get even with
the witnesses against him, and that he would
make them sick for testifying against him, and
that he would pull in" or arrest the COM
plauant as the first one.
As the result of the threats mentioned, Mr..
Helbig charges that he arrested by the
officers and charged with being junk dealer,
which charge was dismissed. Although a
respectable citizen. he alleges that collateral
was refused, and he locked up for thirty
minutes. his Incarceration seeming to have
amused the officers. He further charges that
the conduct OF the officers in standing about
his place has decreased his business, and if
continued his business will be entirely broken
up.
All this he alleges is because he was a wit
ness against the officer in q case before the
trial board.
The complaint has been referred to Mai.
Moore and the charges will probably be in
vestigated by the trial board.

DR.. C. b. Furvis, secretary of the Howard

the Commissioners this morning and handed in
the following letter relative to the saloons in
Helrs Bottom:
Il desire to join those who protes: against q

Could there be a worse name? Doesn't the

hood? Look at it and see how the streets north

There are~some nice families in this section,

curse that has surrounded them so long.

victims for the Freedmen's Hospital. Cutting.
shooting and even numbering has not been in

The New York Avenue Rink Leased.

lease has just been made by Mr.. Julius
Lansbnrgh, the furniture dealer. of the large
building known as the rink, located on
New York avenue between 18th and 18th streets.
1t is his intention to make such changes
and alterations in the present structure as may
be deemed necessary, and then some time in
the early part Of next spring he will remove
the stock of furniture from the store on
street and open business at the new stand.
The great size of the building was one
OF the motives which led Mr.. Lansburgh to
make this change. but he also appreciates the
fact that the business area Of the city is ex-
pauding. An abundance of room is what his
business requires. and the new quarters will
fill the bill for the present at least.

THE POWER OF PARDON.
1t 10 Limited In the Commissioners to o sn
Class of Cases.


Class of Cases.
Assistant Attorney Thomas today rendered
an opinion which will give very little comfort
to the victims of the judges of the Police Court
who are now languishing or toiling in peniten-
tial durance at the work house for offenses
committed against other laws than those
enacted by the Legislative assembly.
He Is Of opinion that the only power Of
pardon possessed by the Commissioners is that
which descended to them from the governor.
who by law had only power to pardon offenses
committed against the laws Of the legislative
assembly.
As very few Of the present local penal laws,
except those pertaining to licenses were passed
by the Legislative assembly the scope of the
Commissioners jurisdiction in this respect is
very limited. All razor carriers, Migrants and
distnrbcrs of the peace leave hope of pardon
behind when the doors of the wOrk-house van
close behind them
