A PRISONERS HARD TIME.
The Result OF an Investigation of the Ca
OF George +. Craig.

The Result OF an Investigation of the Case
Of George Z. Craig.
Detective Boyd, who has been making an in
vestigation concerning the rough treatment
and robbery of George L. Craig, the Balti-
MORGAN, who was arrested here several days
ago. as heretofore mentioned in THE STAR, has
made his report on the case. Craig was clerk
in the city buildings in Baltimore. His mind
was not altogether right and when he came
over here he got arrested. He resisted and
fought Policeman Hughes, who arrested him.
When the man was sent to the Police Court, it
is stated, he had a gold watch and chain in his
possession, and when he reached the Jail the
timepiece and chain we're missing. Then when
the patient was sent to the insane asylum there
were bruises on him which were not on
him when he was sent to Jail. These injuries
were inflicted by two Jail prisoners whom the
insane man had assaulted, and the officer thinks
he was robbed while being detained in the
Police Court cells. The watch was a handsome
one, and was presented to Craig's father by the
Hartford Fire Insurance Company.
There Is no house Of detention here for such
prisoners. and for that reason, it is stated, the
treatment Of Craig while q prisoner was I'M
ayoidable.

LAWYERS IN A ROW.

Knock-DOwn Fight on Pennsylvania and
Avenue It's Sequel in the Police Court.
Yesterday afternoon about o'clock there
was lively row at the corner of 9Th street and
Pennsylvania avenue. The participants were
Lawyer Edmund Burke of Alexandria and
Lawyer Charles Wollard of this city. The men
had met in a saloon in that vicinity, and when
the lie passed it meant fight, and the men were
very choice in selecting place for the battle.
The Virginian was by far the better man of the
two physically and he forced Wollard to take
header on the hard pavement. The result
was that there was free flow of claret and the
bald head Of the lawyer was highly discolored.
Such WAS the condition Of his head when he APP
peared before Judge Miller this morning and
answered to the call George Washington"
He thought he had been sufficiently punished,
for he had spent the night III the police station,
while the other participant in the ARRAY had
been released on collateral.
Policeman Newkirk was the only witness in
the case. He stopped the fight yesterday, and
in doing SO upset Burke.
Judge Kimball fined George Washington"
IS, aud Burke's collateral was forfeited.

Alexandria seems today to be good place to
go way from. The Columbia Steam Fire En-
CINE Company will leave tomorrow morning for
the great firemen's demonstration at Frederick,
Nd, where they will display their engine,
which has been handsomely ornamented. The
engine was sent off this morning in charge of a

THE ALEXANDRIA COURTS.
The Alexandria county court continues its
session here. The grand jury has reported as
true bills indictments for unlawful gaming
against Peter Hall and Joseph Chauncev. Bills
against w. p. Hooker for assault have been
ignored. A rule is ordered in the case of thepro-
posal to construct the Phillips road requiring the
owners of the land through which it may pass
to show cause why the road should not be con-
structed. The county officers chosen at the
May election have all qualified in court and
complied with the law, so that they may enter
on the discharge of their duties on the LIST of
July next.
The dog hunters are now making their raids
on unlicensed ours. and it is hoped, but not ex-
pected, that before the month closes there will
not be an untaxed dog in the city. The latest
fashion In dog wear il muzzle, but there are
still many questionable dogs.
1t is proposed now to buy the old steam en-
CINE now located here by Mr.. E. C. Wheeler of
Washington and to place it in charge OF the
Friendship Fire Company G774).
In the corporation court Judge Norton has
substituted Donald Mclean for Antony Nc

A Venerable Minister'S Reply.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Will The STAR allow an aged minister (the
oldest9) Of Washington to reply briefly to the
comment Of the press as published, and that
from the standpoint of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, and may add. from that Of Tho
Holy Romish Church" and the Lutheran
Church and others? mean the comment on
the action Of the general assembly Of the
Presbyterian Church The eminent journalists
Of the New York Tribune and other papers
seem to be ignorant Of the facts when they
assume that DR.. Briggs and other learned men
may be justified in questioning the authority of
the books of Moses or of other books, or of the
words thereof, as set forth and witnessed by
the church, for
I. These books were not given to learned
men, nor to the nations, but only to the church.
and she is the witness and keeper of the Bible.
II. All the criticisms Of the past four CEN
turtles fail to convince the church that the errors
Of transcript or of translation are of sufficient
import to need n revised edition.
III. DR.. Briggs is not faulted for his private
opinion. but for assuming to set aside the
above facts and to make or to unmake Bible.
