CONFLICTING EVIDENCE.
The Charge of Obstructing an Alley
Dismissed.

The Charge OF ODStructing an Alley
Dismissed.
In the Police Court yesterday the case
of Hugh Casey, charged by Carl Strobel
with throwing straw and manure into
the alley in the rear of his premises. was
argued by his attorney, l.. T. Hatfield.
He argued against admitting any evil
dence against the defendant, on the
ground that the ordinance is unreason-
able. The Court, however, Overruled
his objection.
Carl Strobel testified that there was a
large pile OF rubbish lying in the alley
back OF Casey's premises and that it had
lain there for some time. 1t obstructed
the alley. He had seen man for the past
three or four weeks wheeling manure out
of Casey's stable. Witness spoke to the
man about it and also told Mr.. Casey,
who was standing in the stable at the
time, that he was violating city ordi-
nance Casey said nothing in answer.
The manure was wheeled out and
placed back of Mr.. Deans barn. 1t had
been in the alley for more than a month.
Witness placed some blocks in the
alley, and when Street Commissioner
Murray notified him to remove them he
did so. He did so in order TO be COM
planned OF, so as to bring the alley TO the
attention OF a jury. He had complained
to the Health officer about the manure
which had remained in the alley Tor
long time.
Henry J. Riley, who worked for Casey
and did the stable work, swore that he
wheeled out the manure and put 1t in a
box. He did not dump any of it into the
alley. He took it off the wheelbarrow
with fork. lie never saw any manure
in the alley. He never had any conver-
sation with Strobel on the request of the
latter that he should remove the manure,
as Strobel never asked him TO remove II,
and did nothing but abuse him.
He took the manure every day from
| the box, which was on Casey's lot and
/ not in the alley, and carted it away and
nut it on a vacant lot of Casey's.
A. Lindenmeyer testified that he had
seen a pile of manure, sometimes two or
three wagon loads, lying partly in the
allev and partly on Casey's land. Casey's
| ience is about three feet inside of the
| ailey and the manure is always outside Of
! the fence. along the alley.
Health Inspector George Nichols testi-
fed that his attention was called to the
! matter. but he thought Mr. Casey had
| complied substantially with the law and
/ he took no action.
| Justice Devine. after listening to all the
! testimony, acquitted Casey.

WRECK OF THE KEARsARGE.
Resumption of the Sitting of the
Court of Inquiry.

The investigation begun on Monday at
Brooklyn by the board of inquiry appointed
by Secretary Herbert into the wrecking of
the old Kearsarge on Roncador Reef en-
February last was continued yesterday
in the court-martial room in the BROOKLYN
navy yard.
Rear Admiral Gherardi presided and
Judge Advocate J. ID. ]. Kelly asked the
questions
Admiral Stanton said: AT $50 that even
ing Commander Heyerman reported to me
that the navigator was sure that we had
passed to the north of Roncador Reef We
continued our course. Shortly before q
o'clock the lookout cried: Breakers aheadr"
"How far oil were you from the breakers
when you heard the cry of the lookout
asked Mr.. Kelly.
Not more than 800 yards" was the an
swer.
1.-The night" the witness added. was
dark"
Commander Heyerman said to the admiral
that he the corlmander) would remain on
the ship until the last man had left and did
so. There were but two catamaran loads
to be taken off when the admiral left the
Kearsarge.
Commander Oscar F. Heyerman then took
the stand. He id both the rough log book
and smooth log book were lost Obsarya-
lions were taken on the vessel from day to
day when feasible. The night order book
was lost. He made every effort to have 1t
found, but 1t was not recovered
He said he had not the slightest doubt as
to the accuracy of the observations taken
daily, but added that the night sextant was
slightly out of gear.
Being questioned by Judge Advocate Kelly
as to why he had not regulated his steam
ing so as to have daylight while passing
Roncsdor Reef, Commander Heyerman said
he had done SO. The difference between the
fancied and real position of the Kearsarge
when she struck was between seven and
nine miles.
Judge Advocate Kelly put in evidence one
of the kearsarge's charts. which Command
er Heyerman recognized and said he had
found the chart most accurate He had
found the various lightships and lands ex
actly as on 1t. He had before sailed in the
same waters with Lieut. Lyman, as nayi-
gator.
Commander Heyerman, in reply to the
judge advocate, said he desired TO re-ex-
anime Capt. Lockwood of the City of Para.
Commanders Elmer and Crownishield and
Lieut.. HannuS of the navy in his behalf
IEis concluded Commander Heyarman's
evidence. and Judge Advocate Kelly asked
Tor an adjournment until today, to examine
Navigator Lyman. The court vas then
adjourned to 1870 o'clock today

FREDERICK.

The question of good roads, which is now
one of the most interesting before some of
the states. has been rendered especially in
teresting in this and adjoiaing counties by
the action of the Maryland Road League to
secure the passage of A good road law at
the present session of the state legislature
In line with the discussion of the problem
Mr.. Geo. VIM. Smith of this city comes for
ward with a plan which offers a simple and
practical method for the making Of good
roads and can be applied to either an en-
tire state or a single county. Mr.. Smith
is one of the largest land owners in Fred
erick county and practical farmer of long
experience, and has not only come to realize
the value of good roads to the farmer
but has studied out 'ystem that seems
capable of settling many grave difficulties
now confronting the good road movement
Mr.. Smith speaks solely for Frederick ccun-
ty and his estimates are based on loca! con-
ditions and local statistics solely but the
general principle of his plan could be APP
piled in any part of the country He would
have the present board Of five county COM
missioners appointed as road supervisors
requiring them to give their entire time to
the matter and to be oaid n salary or per
diem. The county would be divided into five
read districts. each district having about
40 miles of road, over which each super
visor should have control. The sections Of
300 miles each should be divided into three
worked by five men to each section, with
one road machine, two carts and two horses
or mules. Over his entire section of o,u
miles OF road each supervisor should go in
person at least twice each month, noting
every spot that needs ate 1tion and ordering
the proper work lone. The men should be
Kept constantly at work on the loads for
at least six months each year, and when
not engaged in grading should tie getting
out hard material to repair and pike had
places with. Mr.. Smith estimates the cost
or such work per year. including salaries
or the supervisors. wages Of men hors es
carts. tools. feed material &C., at s19,92S
which would give the county many times
better roads than she has now at an an
nual cost of over $1,000 less than the sums
az present appropriated for the purpose
Mir. Smiths plan has been submitted to the
county commissioners and it is probable
that an effort will be made to adopt the
plan for this county.
