A TIPsY CREw.-James Hall, gen.
orally known as "Buck" when he lived
in this city, Joseph Thompson and
John Dolan Left Washington yesterday
morning in q pleasure boat for sail
down the river and for good time
generally. Upon their return, and
when opposite this city, they were in
no condition to manage their craft, and
the brisk northwest wind prevailing
soon upset their boat. They managed
to right it, however, and after bailing
it out, again started up the river, only
to be upset again. Once more the boat
was righted and the Prov again point
ed towards the capital city, but>when q
short distance above Shepherds they
found their craft again bottom-upwards
and themselves clingiDg to the keel. II
was nearly four o'clock when the third
mishap occurred, and the Washington
ferry boat Belle Haven, which was
near by, went to their assistance and
landed the trio at the Magazine wharf.
Later the police tug from Washington
came down the river in search of the
men. The crew found Thompson and
Dolan, but Hall mad disappeared.
Thompson was in dangerous condi-
ton from exposure, and he was taken
to the Emergency Hospital when the
tug reached Washington.

U. S. CoURT.-Judge r. W. Hughes
presiding.-The U. S. Court met in this
city this morning and after short ses
sion adjourned until December 18th
next as Judge Hughes was compelled
to return to Danville where he is now
holding a term of his court. The jury
was. adjourned till December 18th and
the following cases were set. Thos.
Kelly vs. r. & d. r. R., December II (;
w. Devers VS.. r. & D. R. R., Deem
Der u the admiralty case of Denly VS..
steamer Martin Dolman, December 13.
The habeas corpus case of MIR. l..
Mex. Bell, of this city, was argued by
Mr. S. G.. Brent for the city and MIR. J.
NJ. Johnson for Mr.. Bell and submitted.
Mr.. Bell is the agent for the United
States Express Company and was fined
by the Mayor for declining to take out
a license. He refused to pay the fine
and the matter was taken to the U. S.
Court for decision. Mr.. Johnson, in
his argument, held that under the inter-
state commerce law the express com
pany could not be required to take out
license. Mr.. Brent, for the city, con-
troverted this and held that the city
had a right to impose license tax.
Judge Hughes will render decision at
a subsequent date.

Marvellous Results.

From letter written b. Rev. j. Gunder-
man, of Diamondale, Mich, We are permitted
to make this extract: Il have no hesitation in
recommending DR.. Kings New Discovery, as
the results were almost marvellous in the case
of my wife, While was pastor of the Bap-
fist Church at Rives Junction she was brought
down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe.
Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last
hours with little interruption and it seemed
as if she could not survive them. A friend
recon Menjled DR.. Kings New Discovery; it
was quick in its work and highly satisfactory
in its results" Trial bottles free at E. s.

WANTED THE CHILD-An old lady
giving her name as Carico, VINO said
she lived in the neighborhood OF Lees
burg, went to the station house yester-
day and asked for Captain Webster.
She walked with stick and carried a
box under her arm. In her interview
with the captain she told him one of
her grandchildren, q girl about nine
years old, was living at the honse of a
resident Of this city, and she desired to
get possession of her. An officer was
told to go with the woman, examine
into the matter and see if the people
were willing to give up the child and
the latter willing to go with the woman.
On the way to the house Mrs. Carico
added a supplement to the story she
told Capt. Webster, and informed the
officer that she had the best reasons for
desiring possession of the girl, as the
man at whose house she was staying
had the basest motives for keeping her
in his possession. Upon reaching the
house an interview was had with the
child and she corroborated her grand
mothers assertions, but refused to ac-
company her to Loudoun county. The
officer told the old woman to swear out
warrant against the man (who was
absent at the time) and prosecute him.
Mrs. Carico has not been seen since and
it is not known what course she will
pursue.

LEFT TO FREEZE TO DEATH.-A
colored female named Ernestine Mass
came to this city yesterday to see some
relatives, and after dark imbibed enough
liquor to lender her incapable oftaking
care of herself. Toward midnight she
strayed down Wilkes street with male
company. That is about the last thing
she remembers until an early hour this
morning when her senses returned
aud she found herself alongside of the
s'ove at the station house. Some time
during the wee sma' hours of the night
coIored man approached Officer
Griffin and told him there was a dead
woman on Wilkes street, near Pitt, and
the officer went in that direction. He
found Ernestine limp and apparently
lifeless. She was cold and gave but
little evidence that the vital spark had
not fled. Mr.. Griffin lighted match
and held it to her face, but there was
no movement of the facial muscles. He
summoned help and bore her bodily to
le station house, where she was placed
alongside a stove and thawed out.
This morning she was brought before
the Mayor who fined her S. for drunk
enness and unseemly conduct, but he
later reduced it to So, which an &C
quaintance paid. The woman was
respectfully dressed and bore no
evidences of dissipation, and when she
left the station house she broke out in
q piteous wall of remorse over her sad
experience.
