What the l.. A. w. Has Done-The Color
Line Discussed.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1t is doubtful if any subject has been brought
to the attention of the public Of late the dis
cussion OF which will prove Of such lasting
benefit as will that of good roads. There is no
trade, profession or calling which does not.
directly or indirectly, depend upon the farmer
for support, and because these same trades are
not properly in touch with the tiller of the soil
every rainy season makes itself felt on the
markets. 1t is an attainment most devoutly to
be hoped for that Col. Pope's efforts may yet
result in bringing the producer nearer the con-
sumner.
The author of the ''color line" article n last
nights STAR has done good work and, he GER
tainly deserves the "God speed" OF members Of
the L. A. W., as well as every other good citi-
zen of the United States. He has. however,
done no more, am glad to say than many
other league members all over the country,
whose combined efforts, it liz hoped. may irflu-
ence Congress to take favorable action upon
the petition when it is officially presented.
agree with him thai signatures to this petit
ton should include blacks we'll as whites, for
all are interested, bu. am sure am only one
OF majority of the members Of the League of
American Wheelmen who object to the admis-
sion of the negro into the organization. and the
very fact that we have lady members only
strengthens me in that objection. The members
who will leave the league and others who will
stay out on that account will far outnumber
the few ''black men, taken in.
Neither can this matter be left to the state
divisions to determine for their separate juris-
dictlons any more than could the introduction
of slavery into states independent of the gem
eral government when this was discussed in
1860.

members to secure good roads may not result.

ONLY ONE FIGHT.

The Crescent City Athletic Club Abandons
1ts FIstic Carnival.
The Crescent City Athletic Club of New Or
leans has abandoned its pugilistic carnival an
Houncei 10 take place in March. Instead of
having three fights the club will only hold one.
Ii was the intention of the directors of the
southern organization to hold a carnival on the
same scale that Of last September, but as the
clubs officials say that they cannot get more
good men TO make two interesting mills they
have dee med it wise to declare off the proposed
series Of battles
The only big fight the club will give in March
is between Hall and Htzsimmons for purse of
$4,000.
In speaking Of the Crescent's failure to hold
the three battles as first determined upon. di-
rector said that IL was impossible at the present
time 10 engage desirable pugilists, they de-
manded too much money or could not fight ow-
ing 10 theatrical engagements. He also said
that the club would probably not bid for any
more OF the big mills
Under these circumstances the Coney Island
Club will most likely secure the fight between
Jim Corbett and Charlie Mitchell

Four-horse hauling sleighs were yesterday
employed by the workers of the quarries on the
Virginia side of the river to bring stone over the
ice to Georgetown's wharves, a distance of over
a mile. The unusual sight was witnessed with
interest and wonder by many. The stone COM

Along the Wharyes.

Capt. Tulle, who carried the Colgrove steamer
Edmarth out of Washington for Florida, was at
harbor headquarters this morning. The
captain took the craft as far to the
south as Charleston, where his son Emory
took command and put her through.
The Edmarth is at Jacksonville on the ways,
where it will be necessary to expend about
$1,000 on her before putting her in commission
as a mail carrier on the Indian river. Capt.
Tulle tells very interesting tale of his expert
ences on the trip. The Edmarth lost her
wheels twice and loosened her shaft once.
Flood. freeze and new harbor boat are the
live questions at the river front. The Norfolk
and Washington Steamboat Company will load
all their freight aboard the George Leary as
the flood begins to materialize. All the COM
panies will do likewise. The wood and coal
people are little perplexed as to what to do in
case OF a freshet. They will probably lose.

Bondsmen Want to Surrender Talbert.

In the Criminal Court, Justice McComas
this morning the bondsmen of George c. Tai
bert asked to surrender him and that they be
relieved. On August 10 last Talbert was before
the Police Court for an assault on his wife, and
on the certificate Of Judge Miller was sent to
the insane asylum. Subsequently he was re-
leased on giving bond before Judge Cox. and
recently, he having become violent, they ask to
be relieved. Mr.. Talbert present and said
that he was not insane.
After some discussion it was suggested that
if the case of August last was still open in the
Police Court he was entitled to a trial there.
Judge McCOmas said that the present case
presented nothing for an order OF the court
and all the parties left.

BIscAILUz FOUND GUILTY.
His Mosher-in-Law's Plaint Sustained in

His Mother-in Laws Plant Sustained in
Court.
Attorney M. V. Bisca;luz. who was ar
rested Monday Last for disturbing the
peace, appeared in Justice Austin's court
yesterday for trial.
Three months ago the attorney and
his wife separated, on account, as Mrs.
Biscailuz alleges, of her husbands cru.
city. a
Mrs. Riscailuz and her son went to the
residence ofrthe formers mother, where
they have since been living.
Since then Mrs. Lazza rovitch, the
mother-in-law, alleges that Biscailuz has
constantly annoyed her daughter by
threatening to kill them unless his wife
returned to him.
Last Monday Mrs. Biscailuz's mother,
Mrs. Lazzarovltch, alleges that the at
torney came to her house at O'Clock in
the evening and endeavored to gain ad-
mittance. He declared he wanted his
piano and his child. He was not allowed
to enter, and after trying to break the
door down, he called the complaining
witness vile names, and threatened to
fetch rifle.
Police Officer Carsey was called in and
the attorney removed.
Biscsiluz defended himself yesterday
by declaring he called at the house
merely for the purpose of seeing his
child. He denied making any kind of
q disturbance. or using profane lam
guage.
Justice Austin did not place much re-
lance upon the above statement, and
found the attorney guilty.
He was ordered to appear for sentence
ON Monday afternoon.
The case was appealed.
