WOMAN, THOUGH IN MANS CLOTHES.
A peculiar looking figure strutted up
to the bar in the Yorkville Police
Court Sunday morning when the
name of Lizzie Bendorf was called.
1t looked like a man somewhat be-
low the medium height, clad in a pair
of seerrucker trousers, pair of shoes
of the clodhopper build, a blue jumper
under q much faded and worn black
alpaca coat, and derby hat that COM
pletely enveloped the head, the brim
resting on the shoulders.
When the prisoner was hidden to re-
move the derby long hair was seen to
be fastened in knot on the top of the
head and scraggy bang fell over the
forehead.
The prisoner was woman. Never
theless, when the court officers put her
in the women prisoners pen the other
women screamed and had to be assur-
ed that their new companion was real
ly woman. The spectators in court,
however, were mystified when they
saw the ostensible man appear and an
swer to the name of Lizzie.
Policeman Tierney, of the East
Twenty-second street police station,
found the woman in First avenue early
Sunday morning, where she was yell
ing and acting strangely. Tierney
thought at first he was dealing with a
man. and arrested the prisoner.
She said she was thirty years, but
would not or could not tell where she
lived. She said her husband returned
home Saturday night and ill treated
her. Waiting until her husband was
asleep, Lizzie said she donned his work
ing clothes and started out in search of
work. When arraigned before Justice
Taintor the woman refused to make
any statement and it was seen that she
was apparently unbalanced mentally
and she was sent to Bellevue Hospital
for examination.

MARINE ENGINEER LIcENsEs.-
United States Steamboat Inspectors Sa-
vile and Cooper investigated a charge
yesterday at the Custom-house,
Georgetown, against William L, Ben
son, that he had stated that his license
as marine engineer had been ad-
vanced in grade without his request
and without an examination. The
complaint was made against him by
the Marine Engineers Beneficial Asso-
citation of the District of Columbia. The
origin Of the trouble seems to be in
the efforts which are being made to
have bill passed by Congress, requir-
ing all engineers in charge of station
airy engines in the District to take out
a special license to perform such duty.
The marine engineers are opposed to
the hill because they do not wish to
pass the examination, and claim that
their original examination and license
covers them. One of the courts In the
District decided that one United States
license WAS sufficient, John Watts,
chief engineer of the Coast Survey
Building, testified that Mr.. Benson
said ina Knights of Labor meeting
that marine license amounted to
nothing, and any one could get one, as
he had, by writing 10 Baltimore, and
had his grade made to rank higher
without any additional examination.
Benson denied that he had made any
such assertion. He procured his Ii
cense, which wasrenewed in June, and
is identical with the grade he was
given in March, 1888, when his first Ii
cense was issued. Benson is now q
gripman on the cable street railway in
Washington. The case was not de-
cided Mr.. Watts apologizcd to the
board for failing to answer their sum-
mons. and said he intended to attend
the trial, He did not want to expose
what he claimed Benson had stated in
the knights of Labor meeting, but as a
refusal TO answer would forfeit his Ii
cense, he at last gave his evidence.
