Hit the Officer.

Detective Weldon is slightly disfgured,
but not so badly disabled that he cannot
attend to his official duties. He wears a
blue shade over his left eye, and the man
responsible for this condition of affairs is
a follower Of the races, named George
Hodges. This individual came here from
New York, and is known as tout on
the race track. Last night when he came
over from the race track he was under the
influence of liquor, and when he got in a
dispute. with one of Pinkerton's detectives
he used such profane and indecent Ian
guage that the officer arrested him. Turn
ing upon the officer he dealt the latter a
blow in the eye with cane. What hap
pened afterward was not told in court but
Hodges face was not without bruises. He
was without funds when the officer ar
rested him, and being unable to leave col
lateral he was locked up. Judge kimball
fined him s. or 10 days on the farm for the
profanity, ard Judge Miller fined him SIS
or 90 days in Jail for the assault. He Was
committed.

Made a Mistake,

The second and sixth precincts police went
out in patrol wagons last night in response
to complaint received by telephone, an
ticipating the capture of a gang of thieves
or persons who had taken possession of a
vacant house at No. % K street northeast.
When the wagons arrived near, the police
made an attack, one squad going to the
front door, while the others went through
the back yard. A glance in the house show
ed that the officers had been misnformed.
The floors were waxed and the large par
lors were decorated with evergreens, flowers
and apples, an appropriate Halloween deco
ration, and everything was in readiness
for an evenings enjoyment. The officers
realized that they had made a mistake.
Mrs. Rice of No. % F street northeast and
her daughter had rented the house to give

THE SEARCH FOR A FENDER.
An Early Decision by the District
mmiasiOners Expected.

The Commissioners have taken hold Of
the street car fender subject In earnest, and
| within short time will announce their de-
cision as to which one they consider the
best and forthwith order the street rail-
road companies to equip their cars with 1t
at once. Every day or so they are called
upon to witness tests OF new tenders.
Thus far a Washington inventor has the
inside track, as it seems probable that the
Smith fender will be adopted.
At a recent meeting Of the board the
Commissioners decided that no fender
would be adopted which extended beyond
the front of the car. They argued that
such an arrangement would catch more
people and render them liable to accident
than If no fender whatever were used. The
distance in front of the car occupied by
such fender would, if the latter were not
used. be ample to allow a person to get out
of the way Of the car. Another fender
which has good chance is that which Is
known as the Blackstone fender, in use on
the Central railroad, Baltimore, and having
a number of good points. This fender was
tested several days ago, and the Commits
sioners were much pleased with its work
ings The fender Is somewhat similar to
the Smith fender, in that 1t has q swinging
fender directly under the front of the car,
which, when touched releases wheel
guard, which impinges against the track
and stops the car.
At recent meeting of the board the
Commissioners decided to delegate Capt.
Fiebeger to make a tour of inspection OF
the principal eastern cities for the purpose
of seeing fol hin self what was being done
in the way of providing tenders for street
cars. and how the different ones worked.
He left the city Saturday and Is expected
to be away about a week. At present he Is
in a city In Massachusetts where several
patented tenders are in use On his way
home he will stop in New York and Brook
Ign.
The Commissioners are pleased with the
attitude of the local railroad companies.
All of them have volunteered to test any
fender recommended by the Commissioners,
and number of tenders which appear
meritorious are being put on and tried.

Recommended for Pardon.

The Commissioners have recommended
executive clemency in the case of Charles

decent exposure, and upon conviction was
