A NEW ERA.
The Police Court Now Has Two Judges and
Jury.

!. ~@-~~ AAs1 Sssss
Jury.
Today was the beginning Of new era in the
history Of the Police Court There were two
judges and jury in attendance and there were
fifty five prisoners to be disposed Of
Judge Miller took charge Of the Jury court,
which was in the court room proper, while
Judge Kimball took charge Of the court
on the upper floor, where such cases as dis
orderly conduct, vagrancy and other Of
lenses against the corporation were heard.
Clerk Potts performed his duty in the jury
court, while Deputy Clark Harper arraigned
the prisoners in the municipal end Of the
temple of justice.
There was great deal Of running up and
down stairs, and the lawyers found it extremely
difficult to watch their cheap clients on both
floors. Some difficulty was also experienced in
getting the witnesses in the proper places and
calling the collateral lists In addition to those
who had business before the court there were
many disinterested spectators who assisted in
swelling the crowd.
In Judge Kimball's court Bailif Kendig had
full charge of the prisoners and witnesses and
the duty of leading the professions of prisoners
also deyolved upon him. In the jury court
Bailiffs Hooe and Bolts were on duty and the
latter had charge Of the prisoners.
Judge kimball dealt out justice to the appli-
cants in a manner that indicated that he was
anything but new hand at the business and
said ..5.' go days" and "step aside," which
is said by nearly every police judge in the
country, just as though he was an old hand in
the business.
Two pretty Salvation Army captains were in
court and their poke bonnets and plain blue
suits attracted attention, and they sat in court
and seemed interested in hearing the trials
of the outcasts Of society, whom they are in
terested in retaining.
The prisoners tried by Judge Kimball were
brought up in several professions, and there
were enough of them alone to fill the court
room.
In the jury court the prisoners were also
brought out in professions and tried rs
formerly.

BURNED TO DEATH.
Woman's Clothes Take Fire From .
Kitchen Stove.

| Cries Of "fre," loud enough to be heard sew
eral squares distant, attracted Policemen Hell
Ter and williams to the house of Josephine
Butler. No. 1922 d street northwest, about 2
o'clock this morning. The officers were on
Pennsylvania avenue, but they lost no time in
getting to the house. Upon reaching the prem
Uses they saw smoke issuing from the doors and
windows and from the peculiar odor they were
positive that human life had been DESTROYED by
the flames
The inmates Of the house had retired early in
the night and a colored woman named Frances
Lewis, who is better known as big Frances"
had been left down stairs where she was going
to sleep. 1t was cold outside and Frances Sc
lected the warmeSt place in the house to make
her bed on several chairs. She had been sick
and had rubbed herself with Mustang Liniment,
some of which got on her clothes. She mad
her bed close to the kitchen fire and went to
sleep. She had been at the house Of Josie
Long, 1877 street, where she was in service,
during the day. BY some unknown means her
bedding and clothes took fire and before the
flames awakened her she burned so badly
that recovery was impossible. Ned Green,
who was asleep in the house, was the
nrst to reach the kitchen in response to
the womans screams and the officers arrived
soon afterward. Her screams and cries for help
were heartrending and those who responded
did all in their power to extinguish the flames
and save her life, but while they we're so en-
gagged the sufferer fell to the floor. She was
dead.
There is no one to be blamed for the affair
except the woman herself, for she put the
chairs so near the stove that they almost
touched il.
Although the burning OF her clothing made
quite blaze the house was not at all damaged.
An alarm Of fire sounded from box l51,
but the services of the 6remen were not
needed
After the excitement was over the charred
body OF big Frances" was removed to the
morgue. The deceased was about thirty-two
years old and leaves one daughter aged twelve
years.
During the excitement the proprietress of
the house and several of the inmates attempted
to get out the second story window, but through
the efforts Of Policeman Heller and man who
was in the house they we're prevented from
doing so.
Josephine Butler, the proprietress, sprained
her ankle, but that was the only injury sus-
tanned, except that Mamie Hall suffered from
nervous prostration and had to be cared for.

GAMBLING AT ROCK HILL PARK.
In a dispute over game of keno yesterday
at Rock Hill Park. on the Virginia side of the
river above the Aqueduct bridge, white man
named Baker was knocked down by blow in
the face and otherwise roughly handled. Much
has been said and written about this place,
where hardly week passes that some serious
affray does not take place. and vet the Virginia
authorities apparently take no notice OF it and
allow the place to remain one Of the greatest
gambling dcns In about the District
ALI day yesterday two small steamers piled
between this place and that and at every trip
carried up scores Of young men with their
weekly earnings in their pockets who tried
their luck at these keno tables and almost in

is not lost on keno Is spent ut the bar for
the Sunday law does not reach them there and
intoxicants flow freely, and many who have
lost heavily at the game drown the remem-
brance Of it with huge glasses Of liquor.
