Pistol and Blackjack.

Special Waterman Who Made Use of His
Pistol and blackjack.
Henry Davis is the name Of a man who was
for a long time regularly commissioned special
policeman. He has been in trouble more than
once because of an apparent fondness for fire.
arms, and today he was in Judge Miller's court
as prisoner, the trouble resulting from the
presence Of pistol in his pocket week ago,
when he had some difficulty in Wheeler's sa-
loon.
Davis got in trouble several months ago for
drawing pistol on Special Officer Brocken-
borough and the Commissioners relieved him
OF his commission, taking his badge from him.
Although the badge was taken from him
Davis continued to carry his pistol and black :
jack. as he was still in the employment Of citi-
Zens.
Thursday night of last week he went to
Wheeler's saloon. 1016 Rhode Island avenue,
and, according to his own statement, he took
one drink Of whisky and blackberry and
bought piece Of tobacco. Then he sat down
by the stove to get warm. When the clock
struck IL and the bartender wanted to close
the place he asked Davis to leave The latter
was In no hurry to get out. and when JOS.
Lane, the bartender, started him out there was
trouble.
Davis, it was claimed, drew his pistol OH Lane
and the latter took it from him. Davis then
went out. but he returned in short while and
drew his blackjack. Lane knocked him down
and fired one shot from the revolver. Davis
head was injured and he claimed that it was
done by the bullet. Davis claimed that Lane
wrenched the black jack from his pocket.
Special Officer Brockenborough gave evil
dence. He appeared upon the scene when the
trouble was over. and he said that Davis was
under the influence of liquor.
Judge Miller said that under the law Davis
had right to have the weapon and he
would nave to dismiss the charge of concealed
weapons. There was a charge of disorderly
conduct against him and on that charge a fine
of $40 or sixty days was imposed.

Hall last Evening.

GERS for the ensuing year Of the Confederate
Veterans Association, prescribed for the
18th Of January, the birthday Of Gen. Robert
E. Lee, was held in their hall, $40 Pennsylvania
avenue northwest, last evening and proved to be
meeting of unusual interest. After satisfactory
reports from various committees the election of
officers was in order and friendly spirit of
rivalry was manifested from the outset. There
were those present who, while not dissatisfied
with the administration Of the retiring officers,
thought that a thorough reorganization would
inure to the benefit Of the association and at
the same time obviate the precedent Of estab-
fishing rotation in Office.
Mr.. VIM. Harmon nominated for presi-
ident by Mr.. Wilmington Hammett, which was
seconded bv Mr.. Alex Hunter in warm appeal
to make the first vice president president for
the next year, an honor he was entitled to by

Others also seconded the nomination. Ma.
Kobt. w. Hunter was nominated by Mr.. Hugh
Waddell and the nomination seconded in a
stirring speech by Senator Eppa Hunton, who
deprecated establishing the precedent OF rota-
ton in office and thought his friend Maj. Hun
ter would, without disparagement to others, be
the best man for the place. Upon ballot
Maj. Hunter was elected by handsome major
ity and the election was. by motion Of Mr.. Har-
mon, made unanimous amid applause. Upon
taking his official position Maj Hunter made
felicitous speech. promising his best efforts
for the good of the association.
The other officers elected. consisting Of the
leading friends Of both presidential candidates,
were: First vice president, Thomas J. Luttrell ;
second vice president, Julian G.. Moore; secre-
tary, Thomas W. Hungerford; treasurer, Rob-
ert NJ. Narrower; executive committee. Magnus
s. Thompson, chairman; F. E. Storm, James
ID. Darden. Hugh Waddell and H. L. Biscoe;
relief committee. John H. Walsh, chairman; j.
p. Horbach. Thomas Jarvis, Gabriel Edmons-
ton and James Compton. Mr.. A. G. Holland
was unanimously elected sergeant-at-arms
The relief committee reported that 1t deemed
the contemplated bazaar during tho coming
Inauguration inadvisable on account of the un-
certain state Of affairs incident to a change of
administration, but recommended that one be
held at the opening of the Fifty-third Congress.
1t also reported that the ladies' relief associa-
ton would have u three days lunch during the
inaugural for the benefit of their society.
The hall used by the Confederate Veterans
Association isalso used by veterans of the Union
army, between whom and the c. V. Association
the most amicable feelings prevail and the pic
lures which decorate the walls embrace II wide
range Of subjects, including some of the officers
on both sides of the late unpleasantness.

Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
Bosrox, Mass, January 10, 1883.
Boston historians are recalling the fact this
morning that Henry Cabot Lodge has been
elected to the seat which his great grandfather,
George Cabot, filled q century ago. He was
elected in 1871 to serve until 1876. His grand
sons term will expire in 1899, 90 that there will
be three years in the two centuries when the
great grandfather and the great grandson will
have been wearing the same toga with century
between them.
Tbs Boston papers have accepted the Lodge
election generally as a matter Of course and
have few comments. The Herald independent,
Is the exception. and has this to say under the
caption An Opportunity" Hon. Henry
Cabot Lodge has received mandate to act for
the people of Massachusetts for the next six
years In taking the Office Of Senator it will be
with the affirmation on his part TO fulfill the
duties TO the best of his ability and to observe
protect and defend the Constitution OF the
United States. He is elected not as the mere
puppet Of state, party or a faction, but
as man who will while in Office exer-
else his own Judgment and guided by
an honest consideration Of questions arrive at
conclusions which seem to him calculated to
promote the welfare Of the country. 1t is not
necessary now as il has been in the past to con-
slider before the first session of the House of
Representatives is over whether his constitu-
ents are ready to Immediately re-elect him.
He can now. if he will, take the time required
to build up a reputation for craftsmanship. For
six years he is his own master. and car in that
time demonstrate by favoring not transient
popular whims, but sound principles of gov
eminent, whether he is to deserve a renewal Of
public favor. He has now his opportunity. We
hope and trust he will prove worthy Of it."
WAR WITH THE COUNCIL.
There is war between Gov. Russell and his
council. At the meeting in the executive
chamber yesterday the council, led by David
Hall Rice, passed resolution taking from the
governor the appointment Of special COM
mittees. Gov. Russell protested. but the
council which he wished to abolish. paid no
attention to him whatever. Lieutenant Governor
Roger Wolcott was present, but did not stand
with the governor. The democratic papers all
declare this morning that the gauntlet is thrown
down and there will be war to the knife.
