TALE OF AN ovgRcoAr.
John Baily Goes TO Jail for Combined
Theft and Perjury.

About 5 o'clock yesterday morning John
Baily. colored, and a confederate, attempted
to get away with 13O pounds of beef from the
cold storage department of the Center market.
They were discovered by one of the clerks
who ran after them shouting, "Catch thief"
BaiIy and his partner in crime dropped the
meat and continued their flight as far as
Sixth and streets northwest, where Baily
was captured by Policeman Hayes His pa |
escaped.
In the police court Baily was defended by
Attorney John E. ATcNally. One of the wit
nesses testified that ne was sure Baily was
one of the thieves, as he wore distinctive
brown overcoat
Where is that coat now?" asked Lawyer
McNally, pointing to his client, who was
oyercoatless and thinly clad.
It WAS shown that the prisoner had on an
overcoat when ne entered the court building,
and Court Officers PAT 1Iadigan and Marks.
after search found the miss.n .ng garment in
the cage, where it was doing duty as a cushion
for tired "hobo" 1t had been concealed
in that manner by the tricky Baily. who still
denied that the coat was ''his'n." The owner
ship having been fastened on Baily through
Officer Madigan's diplomacy, Attorney Nc
NaIly expressed his disgust at his clients act,
and Judge Miller. after giving the prisoner a
sharp lecture on the combined evils OF stealing
and swearing falsely sent him to jail for six
months.

TRANSFERS CEASE.
No More VIII Be Given on the lexington
and w. and G. L mes

Passengers on the lexington and So ldiers'
Home road wishing to so to Georgetown,
and vice versa, will hereafter have to pay
two fares, instead of one as heretofore. This
means that the issue of transfers from that
line to the Washington and Georgetown road
at the intersection OF Fifteenth and G streets
has been discontinued.
The arrangement was terminated by Mr..
Schoepf, vice-presldent of the lexington
road, who claims that his company could
give transfers to Georgetown only, whereas
the Washington and Georgetown people can
empty their three lines upon the lexington
line. He was quite willing, he said. to enter
into a new agreement with the Washington
and Georgetown Railroad Company upon the
fairer basis of giving free transfers between
all three of its lines and his own, and had so
requested that company.
Regarding a general transfer arrangement
between all the street railways in the Dis
trict, Mr.. Schoepf said he approved OF it, but
at not more than. one point between any two
companies, for the reason that "a more com
plicated arrangement would allow passengers
to ride around for an indefinite time upon the
payment of single fare.

dence-TriaI VIII Not Begin This Year.
The question of the date of Capt. H. W.
Howgate's trial was further discussed yester-
day when he was arraigned to plead to the
seven original indictments, but no date could
be fixed It is possible that time can be de-
termined upon when the new indictments are
considered next Saturday.
The decision of the court OF appeals refus-
ing an appeal from Judge McComas' opinion
sustaining the embezzlemeDt indictments
drawn thirteen years ago, brought on the
arraignment yesterday. Capt. Howgate was
cheerful and appeared entirely confident of
final acquittal when he arose to say the words
mot guilty. in strong. clear voice in re-
sponse 10 the courts question.
Judge McComas said he would ask that
Capt. Howgate either plead or demur to the
new indictments, two for embezzlement and
one for forgery, on Saturday morning, and
his counsel. A. S. Worthington and J. NJ. Will
son assented. No demurrer may be offered.
as Capt. Howgate has already been in Jail
four months and is impatient of further de-
lay
The earliest day spoken Of however, is
January 2, and it is quite as likely to be Febru-
ary before the hearing actually opens.

the value to health of thespure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the

beneficial properties of perfect lax
