NOTES.


A colored man named Charles H. Butler who
Court today. He arrested by Special Of
ficer Green, also colored who is in the EMPLOY
Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad The ar
rest Butler asserts, the result of
his shouting "Hurrah for Cleveland"
while on train week ago SATURDAY. night
According to his side of the affair he was on his
way home with some medicine for his wife, who
was sick, and when he shouted for Cleveland
another colored man in the car remarked.
Listen at that niger shouting for Cleve-
land"
He denied that he had been drinking. All he
had was one drink out of the bottle Of white
man who sat beside him in the car
"Three-thirds of the people in the car" he
said, "were shouting 'Hurrah for Hayes"
When he got off the car at University station
he said Green wanted him to pay him So, say
ing he would dump him. for that amount and
then he dropped to half that sum.
The countryman denied that he used any
profane language, as charged and said that he
always ''substained" policemans badge.
On the other hand the officer charged that
Butler attempted to bride him and that when
the tussle was over Butler escaped.
Green denied that he heard anything said in
the car about Cleveland. But, he said. II did
hear them singing something about Old Mary
don't weep"
Lawyer Moss argued the case for the defend
ant and assailed the officers reputation for
truth and veracity, but Judge Kimball compli-
mented Green for being efficient, truthful
and trustworthy officer. He fined Butler $40
or thirty days.

distinguished statesman. who occupies n

gain his views on some important questions Of
state which the democratic party will have TO

"Of course not; of course not, " replied the
statesman. That is just what l say. The

The reporter told him he was about to ask il
he thought there would be an extra session Of

Against the Government,

Judge Mott, in the Court of Claims, today
gave Judgment in favor Of Gilbert H. Ferris in
his suit against the United States to recover
balance due on a contract for the dredging Of
100, cubic yards OF material at Miffiin's bar
In the Delaware river.
Gen Butler, counsel for the claimant, de-
msnded judgment in the sum Of SIC, 900 on the
ground that the failure to complete the contract
was due solely to the action of Col Ludlow,
the engineer in charge OF the work
The counsel for the government on the other
hand commended that the claimant could not
possibly have completed the work within the
Tune prescribed by the contract, and hence that
he should recover for only 90 much a. he could
have removed during the two months which re-
manned Of the contract
The court held that the contractor having
been delayed by the defendants officers was en-
titled to an extension of the prescribed time,
but regarded the damages claimed - excessive
and therefore reduced the amount to $3.50.

ON A SERIOUS CHARGE.
But the Defendant Positively Denies Hav-
ing Committed An Assault.


ing Committed AN Assault.
In the Criminal Court this morning before
Justice Cox white man Of perhaps fifty years,
named James W. Wright, was placed on trial on
the charge of committing an assault on Della
Adams. white girl of fourteen years of age, in
June last on North Carolina avenue south
east.
Mr.. I. c. Taylor appeared for the prisoner
The complaining witness came from Norfolk
several years ago under the cnre OF defendant.
whom she regarded as her father and so ad-
dressed him and ne placed her at ST. Johns Or
phan Asylum for some time, and subsequently
she worked in several houses. The government
offered In testimony. a paper reading, MY
Dear Della: This day / promise to be a
loving husband TO you. SO help me God" and
another signed flowing wife. Della A. Wright"
which witness said given her after the
commission Of the offense
The defendant denied most positively tina: he
committed the offense; in short he denied the
whole rtory. He said that he charged her with
being loose in her habits He acknowledged
that he wrote the papers relating to mar
risge, but said it was in the hope that it
would have some restraining influence
upon her. When he left the house he
did SO change note so a. to give her some
change with which to 60 TO picnic lie said
that the girl wanted to get him out of the way
because he had reprimanded her for her loose
habits. He was a married man, whose wife is
in Los Angeles, Cal.

Revenue Cutter With . Protected Steel

Revenue Cutter With Protected Steel
Deck Not Considered . War Vessel.
The fact that the British government has
just launched at Owne's bay sound. Canada, q
modern steam revenue cutter which may easily
be transformed into an effective war vessel does
not create that degree of apprehension in
Washington that might be expected for the
very good reason that all OF the facts in the
case have long been known to the officials of
the Department of State and the Navy Depart
ment, and have satisfied themselves that there
has been no breach Of the treaty stipulation
that there shall be but one war vessel of each
OF the two nations on the lakes.
When the Constance, the first Of the new
Canadian lake vessels, was building last year
officer of the United States navy visited the ship
yard and closely examined the new vessel. he
reported that the vessel exactly what she was
represented to be--a revenue cutter Of modern
type. In her construction u partial pro-
tective steel deck was embodied but
this il necessity in view of the
possibility of disabling an unprotected
boiler by even small rife shot Also
regard was had to the possibilities of the future
and the vessel was so built that she might carry
cannon and thus become "a servicesble gunbost.
But this is exactly what the Treasury Depart
ment has done in the case of all the revenue
cutters built in recent wears.

Mr.. J. c. Haywood. an American citizen now
a resident Of Rome, has been selected by the
Secretary of State to assist at the Vatican in the
selection Of the relics which are to be shipped
to the worlds Columbian exposition. Mr.. Hey
wood, who formerly lived in Philadelphia, is a
man of considerable wealth, is profound stu
dent and is said to be more familiar with the
library and records Of the Vatican than any
American in Italy. He will serve without COM
pensation and has cheerfully undertaken his
task.
The originals Of all the maps, charts and pic
lures and fac SMILES Of the records and docu-
ments on file in the archives that relate to Co.
lu mbus and the discovery and early settlement
of America will be furnished. The cardinal has
expressed the greatest interest in the success of
the exposition and the desire OF the Vatican to
show respect and esteem for the President and
the government Of the United States.

Keeping TO the Right.

From the Philadelphia Press.
To an American the universal London sign.
keep to the left" seems a perversion of
things Modern signs in Liverpool, keep to
the right, seem more in place, though it can
not be determined why they exist. 1t may pos
sibiy be an effort 20 introduce a change at this
port. so much in touch with American ideas. A
Londoner was questioned on the subject He in
sisted that there could be no such signs in Liver
pool, or if there they must refer to foot pas
sengers, that the rule of the road was universal
He had never heard Of the American or the
similar continental usage. Certain it is that
Liverpool signs exist and in the center of drive
ways, as if indicating that the direction was for
teams. 1t Is also certain that teams there still
keep to the left as in the rest Of England.
In America, where coaching was never SO
much in use as in England, We were left free to
use our common sense. That We, while closely
related to the mother country and getting most
customs from her. should have adopted and so
universally, directly opposite method would
seem to infer, as here claimed. a natural law
Railroads. of course. as first in England,
were but an outgrowth Of stage coaches The
earlier trains were but stages on Hanged
wheels and tramways. The engine driver
was master of the train as the stage driver
had been Of the stages. He gave the signal
when he ready TO start. His orders
were supreme. 1t produced violent OPPOSE
tlon When certain guard rugged up rope
attached to a block Of wood to signal the
driver when everything was ready on the
train. The driver would obey no such signal
l! was an invasion of his rights.
Being a stage coach the engine driver was put
to the same side of the cab that the post boy
had ridden. Today the British engine driver
stands on the left side of the engine. and his
train runs on tine left track. Early American
railways, following the English custom, also
used the left track. The old Camden and Amboy
railroad did SO up to the time of the purchase
Of that road by the Pennsylvania system,
though all the other roads Of the country then
ran in the opposite way.

the morning papers today that fourteen deaths
had occurred on the Weimer while she lay at
quarantine in Chesapeake bay and that 100
of the immigrants were so sick when the. vessel
reached Baltimore that they were removed to
the hospitals. Mr. Spaulding said that he
had inquired almost daily to the
health of the immigrants and had been
advised by DIR. Wyman. supervising sur
geon general of the marine hospital service,
that the health of the immigrants and crew was
good. In fact he had not known of even one
case of sickness, much less Of any deaths. He
could not, he said, offer any explanation OF how
he was kept in ignorance of the facts as stated
