trict affairs. The committee was composed Of
Gen. Green Clay Smith of the Onion Veterans
Union, Vice Department Commander Bickford
and Mr.. Armat Stod dard Of the Grand Army Of
the Republic.
President Harrison received the committee
In cordial manner, but did not commit him
self on any propositions stated by the men,
bers. The President was told by the commit
tee that the District was under a thoroughly
democratic administration; that nearly every
office that had become vacant or had been
made vacant was filed bv a democrat
and while they made no special complaint for
political reasons they complained that the gen.
eral tendency was against the veterans who
fought for the Union. and thew thought officers
should be appointed who would recognize the
claims Of the Veterans
The committee also presented a paper cou-
tanning u statement concerning the action of
the Commissioners in depriving the people of
the District OF the services of Neil Dumont a.
assistant attorney for the District. The state
ment contained a vigorous objection TO the &C.
ton OF the Commissioners in that case.
Another matter that occupied their attention
was the vacancy soon to occur by reason of the
expiration Of Commissioner Douglass term Of
office. and for that position they recommended
Col. W. $. Odeu, past commander Department
OF Potomac, g. A r. Col Odell is an ex-resi-
dent Of Indiana, and is said to be a personal
friend Of the President

Policeman Ellsworth of the eighth precinct
had before the Police Court today two colored
boys, Francis Roane and John Arthur, charged
with stealing three watches from J. II. Bundy'a
store The explanation on the part of the boys
was that the watches were given to them by a
man on the street, but Judge Miller thought
that the man who gives away watches did not
come around very frequently and gave them six
months each. Robert Lewis was tried on
charge of receiving one of the watches and the
charge dismissed.
George Gaines, well-dressed young colore d
man, was in the dock charged with theft
George is Pullman car porter and was recently
transferred to this division from ST. Louis
Procuring $40 by means of trick was the
charge. 1t appears that an old colored woman
named Nina Jones lost the money in the freight
yard, and when she reported her loss, it was
claimed, Gaines heard of it and also heard a
description of the money. A colored boy, who
found the money, WAS honest enough to turn it
in to the Office and Gaines claimed and pro-
cured it.
Judge Miller held him guilty Of the'charge
and ordered him to make restitution or 20
down for thirty days. and imposed an addi-
tional fine OF $40 or thirty days.
Arthur Rollins was charged with the theft of
whitewash brush from J. H. Dorsey and he
forfeited IS collateral.

brated last evening by appropriate exercises
held under the auspices of the Bethel Literary
Society at the Metropolitan A. NJ. E. Church.
Addresses were made by Frederick Douglass,
John Purvis of Philadelphia, Rev. J. E. Rankin

turn to his address, and criticized the repub-
lican party. The audience, however, plainly
indicated that they did not relish Mr. Arnold 9
sentiments. Music was furnished by the choir
of Howard University. Prayer was offered by
Bishop Ward. Master John r. Frnncis recited
poem and Mrs. Terrell, the president of the
society, read poetic tribute to Whittier by
Mrs. Charlotte Grimke.
