Washington infested With All Sorts OF Hard
Characters.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.--lIard times
have produced one effect in Washing
ton, which is generally complained of
in the large cities at present, namely,
an unusual number of sneak thieves,
footpads and night providers generally.
They are now in the city in great force
and endanger the peace and purloin the
personal property OF the Industrious at
the capital. The parks of this city have
generally been the favored resorts of
tramps, and because Of the usually mild
climate these resorts are infested with
with the idle fraternity throughout
much of the winter,
About the suburbs robberies and as
saults have been of frequent occur

adopted measures to meet the case Off
GERS now patrol the out of the way por-
tions in citizens dress, and after mid.
night require clean bill from all way
farers, and, that being refused, the
wayfarers are suinmarily handled.
Several shootings, two fatal, have been
resorted TO by the police lately in cases
where the challenged prowlers have
fed, and while one result has been the
usual indulgence of sentiment about
unjustifiablc taking of human life.
another is becoming apparent in a
marked decrease of Irregularities and
increase of good order about the ma
