PCGILISTIC JOHN SHERMAN,
A Negro Of That Name Goes to Jail for
Twelve Months.

Twelve MOnths.
Alexander Hamilton was the defendant
in case in the Police Court yesterday
George Washington frequently drops in
Tor few days sentence, and the visits NJ
Thomas Jefferson are by no means few ana
far between. Today another famous name
wac called by Clerk Potts 1t was that of
John Sherman. This particular John has
an evil name in police circles and is looked
upon as one of the worst terrors on tho
commons: His reputation is almost as
dark as bis complexion.
John was arrested last night between
and 10 O'Clock by Officer Horton on I3tb
street between and II streets southeast
for a most atrocious assault on Lizzie .John>
son, with whom he used to live. but is now
On bad terms. She was a sight when he
got through pounding her. One eye was
completely closed. she was bleeding pro-
fusely and she would have been black and
blue all OVERHEAD II been possible. Johns
thirst for fighting was anything but slaked
when Officer Horton took him ir;:o GUS
tody. At 9:10 o'clock Mr.. Horton got his
hands on him and it was just forty min
utes later when he got him into the patrol
wagon. During this lime there We're ten
4-minute rounds of sharp fighting, without
any intermission. Sometimes il was the
officer and John and sometimes IL was
John and the officer. The latter's coat and
trousers were torn, his badge was pulled
off and there were few parts of his
anatomy that had not been either struck
or kicked.
But, as usual, the officer got the best of
it in the end and by 10 o'clock the Ohio
Senator's namesake was behind the bars
He lied like a good one in the Police Court
this morning and told pitiful story of the
ill-treatment ne had received-a story that
did not at all harmonic with his general
appearance. The police of East Washing
ton will have one nuisance off their hands
at least until September. 1895. for Judge
Kimball sent Sherman to jail for six
months for his assault on the johnson girl
and six months more for his assault on
the officer.

A DREssMAkER SENT DOWN
She Will Study Fail Styles in the
WOrkhOuse.


She will study FAN styles I'm the
WOrkhOuse.
Mary Hancock. who claims to be a re-
spectacle resident of Georgetown, with two
small children dependent upon her labors
as dressmaker. and with an old mother
sick in bed, was before Judge Kimban this
morning on the charge of vagrancy. She
said that she was in South Washington last
night to see a lady about making her
black henrietta cloth dress. This story was
quite different from the one told by Officer
Hartigan.
Mr.. Hartigan was detailed last evening to
walk the neighborhood Of Missouri avenue
on the lookout for the women who some
times infest that section of the city. He
was in citizens clothes. and while he was
walking along a secluded part of the street
Mary came up to him and began a CONVEX
sation by asking him what time II was.
Then she said a number of things that no
real lady would ever say to a stranger.
When the officer pulled back his coat and
showed his badge she was probably the
most surprised woman ia all South Wash
ington.
In the Police Court this moraing Mrs.
Hancock admitted that she was sometimes
known as Mrs. Mclean. She explained this
mistake by saying that people used 20 think
she was married to a man by that rame
with whom she used to live. She had plenty
of other explanations to offer for her con-
duct. She is slightly deaf. she said, and as
she could not quite understand what Mr..
Hartigan was saying she supposed he was
talking about dressmaking. and was giving
him her prices for tailor-made gowns.
But Mary was in hard luck, for of all the
policemen who were waiting for their cases
to come up quite half knew of her past
life. and each had bad account to give of
her by the one name or the other. Mary
will have an opportunity to study the fall
styles at the workhouse for the next two
months

GEN. HARRISON HOPEFUL.
Believes Republicans VIII Carry Ne
York and New Jersey.

Believes Republicans VIII Garry New
York and New Jersey.
Gen. Harrison arrived at Indianapolis
from his eastern trip. on which he spent a
week at the home Of ex-Secretary Stephen
B. Elkins, in West Virginia. where Mrs.
Mckee and her children remained for a
visit Of week longer.
When asked about the political prospects
in New York this fall he said that he had
no doubt the republicans would carry New
York.
what do You think Of the fractional fight
among the New York republicans
81 saw but few of the republican leaders
in New York." said Mr.. Harrison. II did
not meet Mr.. Plat or Mr.. Depew or any Of
the prominent men in our party in that
state. 1 left New York ten days ago. and
since that time I presume matters have
changed somewhat. 1 cannot predict as to
the outcome there.
From what 1 could see and hear" he
continued, "our party will carry New Jersey
this year and will elect a republican to the
United States Senate. There is much dis
satisfaction with the democratic record, AMI
Mr.. Wilson, believe. has alienated his dis
trict from democratic beliefs. 1 look for
ward to the election there of Mr. Dayton,
who Is a strong and brilliant man and will
represent the district with credit If he is
as SucceSS1ul Ill WORKING the people," he
continued, with a smile, "as he was with
me, there will be no doubt of his success 1t
the polls. When my train reached Grafton
/ saw that the car was being switched off
to a side track and l could not comprehend
what the intention was. In an hours time
there was a crowd Of perhaps $500 people
about and 1 had to make a speech Mr.
Dayton had arranged for the occasion with
out consulting me, but I made the Jest of
1t that could. and, no reporters being pres
ent. spoke with more than usual freedom
II found the republicans Of West Virginia
highly enthusiastic. and there was a pro-
nounced opposition to the tariff bill adopted
not take at all kindly to it,
had been a candidate for the congressional
nomination against Mr.. Wilson, and said
that he thought Mr.. Elkins' ambition was
to go to the United States Senate In case
the republicans should control the legis-
lature.
Upon my return here ! find 1t stated
that the greatest danger to the democratic
party at present Is overconfidence. If the
party Is suffering nothing but overconfi-
dence 1t is in a very healthy state, 1 am
sure. During my eastern trip did not find
the overconfidence at all manifest"
Speaking Of his own political appoint
ments. the ex-President said that he ex-
poets to make two speeches in Indiana, but
did not say that he could not make others
either here or in other states. He had re-
ceived enough invitations, he said, to take
all his time until Christmas, including some
from as far away as Texas, but he could
not accept them.

In the suit for divArce filed by Catherine
F. against Walter Il. Caddington on the
18th of last month the defendant today
filed his answer. He denies that he ever
abused or maltreatei his wife, but asserts
that she assaulted him a number of times.
Previous to August of last year he states
that Mrs. Caddington was a devoted and
loving wife, but about that time one Geo.

vent of Mr.. Johnson, says Mr. Ceddington,
his wife's change Of conduct and deport-
ment became marked. Finally, explains
Mr.. Caddington, he was informed by Mrs.
Caddington that she loved the stranger
and that IL he Caddington) put Johnson out
of the house she would put him out. Mr..

leaving because he would not consent to
her going down the river with young man.

LONDON. September lathe governors
of the Bank of England. at their half yearly
meeting today, declared a dividend of 4
per cent. The reason for this reduction is
a decrease in profits, said to be due to the
unprecedented increase in the reserve and
the low value of money. Since February 2S,
the net result of the Barring liquidation has
been a reduction of f1.O75.OOO, making the
liability e.. iSl 1855, and the debt due the
bank f2.4HUOO. The outlook for further
progress in the liquidation is so favorable
that 1t is believed that no loss will fall
upon the guarantors.
