MANY OFFENsEs.
List of Crimes Of Several Active
Criminals.

Policemen Helan and Kilmartin Of the
first precinct and Detective Lacy have done
some good work recently in the capture Of
a number Of thieves. after having so badly
crippled the policy business across the
river. Their last important victim IL O
young negro named Richard McCauley. He
is only about seventeen years old, but for
three years he las assisted in making life
uncomfortable for q number OF persons.
His first appearance in police circles was
after he had robbed several persons at
whose houses he had found employment
He first came here from Manassas, Va,
where he had committed a robbery. and
some OF the stolen property was found,
Then he went 10 the real estate Office Of
Messrs. Atwell a Coffee. on East Capitol
street and. by relating a story Of being an
orphan and in destitute circumstances he
managed to get a place to sleep and was
also given something to eat While there
he endeavored TO become a safe robber,
and although he ruined the iron safe be
did not get any valuables. He next appear
ed at the house of a resident OF lie Droit
Park, where he had been given a home
and employment. At this house he asked
permission to go out one morning 20 get q
morning paper, and that was the last they
Of him until he was arrested.
Since then he escaped from custody, and
has robbed a number Of persons. This
morning he appeared in court, and his
numerous victims were there to give evi-
dence against him.
Judge NILS heard their statements, ana
gave the prisoner six months in Jail In two
cases and held him for the grand jury In o
case of grand larceny.
Sardy Armstrong, a regro who has been
In the penitentiary, was their other victim
who was given a hearing today. Like Nc
Cauley, he started on the road to prison
early in life, and has gained quite a reputa-
ito in police circles. His last offense was
an effort to steal a suit of clothes from 9
dummy. He succeeded in getting the coat
and vest, but was captured before he got
far away.

CAMP WERTS. Sea Girt, n. j., August &c.
Over a dusty road, kila-dried by long con-
tinued drought, and beneath a cloudy, rain
threatening sky which refused to pour out
its moisture upon a thirsty land, the detach-
ment of District National Guardsmen that
last night left Washington on a journey to
Jersey marched into the midst of familiar
scenes to the tented city which happingly
aw ats the coming Of rifiemen from all over
the United States. 1t was a bright, cheer
full little company, unmindful of the fact
that for the most part II had be en- awake
during the greater portion of the night.
The start from Washington was made at
about 11:i0, and those who We're in the

Before the Eastern branch had been
crossed some of the more somnolently in
clined were busily engaged in devising
schemes by which slumber could comforta-
bly, be INDUCED in, many of them successful
ly. The trip to Philadelphia was made
without incident save the sudden and re-
markable development of hunger conse-
quent upon the motion of the train. The
Quaker city was reached at 3:45, and there
a distinguished Jersey guardsman-CoL Fell
ton, assistant quartermaster general, who
is well known at the national capital-joined
the party and proceeded with it TO Sea Grit
AT Trenton another assistant adjutant gen.
eral-Col. William A. Early-became one of
the crowd, and moved along to the teams
destination. Both Col. FELTON, and Col
Early are old-time friends of the District
team, something that was evidenced by the
heartiness with which they proceeded to
make things pleasant for the visitors. Col
FELTON, being post quartermaster had many
opportunities to show the kindly disposition
which is within him, but the unnamed 9TH
ors were at least as anxious as he to make
the Westinghouse feel as though no other
people were worthy of Jerseys confidence.
At Sea Girt the company was received by
Capt. Graf, who appears to be the early
was the usual hearty reception by Gen.
Spencer, and in the evening by Gen. Don
nelly, the state Quartermaster general.

Reindeer Station

Capt. Healy. commanding the revenue
steamer Bear, now on her way to Point
Barrow. Alaska, has reported TO the Treas
Try Department that the newly established
reindeer station at Port Clarence is in a
hourishing condition. He took forty-cight
reindeer there on his way up from the ST.
berian coast. and $50 young have been
added to the herd since last summer. When
the Laplanders specially imported to care
fer these animals arrive at Port Clarence
the Bear will take the present herdsmen
back TO their homes In Siberia. Owing TO
the heavy Ice In the arctic during the pres
ent season, the whale catch has been ex-
ceedingly light, the entire catch TO date of
report being only five whales.

THE WOODEN SCHEDULE.
A Question as to the Proper Interpre-
tatfon of the New Law.

Still another question has arisen as to
the proper Interpretation of certain sec
lions in the new tariff bill Schedule 'K,"
wool manufactures of WOOL" imDoses
certain specified duties on a very long list
Of manufactured articles composed in part
or in whole Of wool The last paragraph
in :his schedule provides that Ike re-
duction of the rates of duty herein pro-
vided for manufactures of wool shall take
effect January. 1885,
1nasmuch as the courts have decided
that manufactures of woor' means only
those in which wool is the chief compo-
nent in point of value, the question arises
as to whether the zine at which the new
rates go into effect apply to the whole
schedule or only to manufactures of wool"
A large part of the schedule is given up
to the enumeration of articles in the com
position of which wool does not represent
the chief value. This being the case I'M
porters will be interested in the question
whether large proportion of their impor-
tations of goods containing wool are to
pay the new or old rate.

AT THE d. AND o. STATION.
Some Trains Are Delayed, but the
Pythians Are Coming.


Pythians Are Coming.
A continual stream Of humanity issued
from the exit at the Baltimore and Ohio
station all the morning. At Z o'clock q
New York train arrived, but there were no
Pythians aboard. Instead large throng
Of visitors alighted and hurried to convey
ances, which took them to their places
of temporary abode.
The scene at the stand of the public COM
fort committee was interesting. The table
was strewn with cards bearing the inscrip
lions Of different boarding houses and
hotels. Among the visitors to the stand
were more local people than Pythians, and
a large number told the tale of how many
dissatisfied boarding house people there
are. Have you my manner? Queried one
madame, while simultaneously another re-
marked: "Why don't you send some people
to my place? You have my card.
Some of these people do not walt for the
authorized agents to act, but solicit Of their
own accord, and efforts are, indeed. very
els.
The keeper of the exit gate is a very busy
man, indeed. stand back and allow the
pc pie to pass" is his continual exhortation,
which is, indeed, more observed in the
breach than in obedience.

1t has been found impossible to accom-
modate in camp all who ask for tents, but
the public comfort committee has completed
arrangements to furnish satisfactory quar-
tiers to every one who applies at the depot
headquarters. These accommodations are
situated In the best and most desirable por-
tions of the city. Chairman Levy states
that a number of irresponsible cappers for
boarding houses have taken their stand in
side the depot. and if visitors have been i'm
posed upon by such individuals they have
only themselves to blame. as they should
have made application to the committee.

Fifteen minutes thereafter a large delega-
ton from Texas and Illinois, accompanied

sir knights referred to attracted consider
able attention as they marched up Pennsyl-

The great and final rush of incomers Is
expected this evening, but the committees
and the railroads are prepared to handle
any number Of visitors without delay.

WEYMOUTH, August 27.-Capt. Carter
commander Of the Britannia, has received
message from the Prince of Wales in
structing him not to race the Britannia
again this season in any Of the regattas
This is due to the accident by which Chief
Officer Simons and Caterer Roper Of the
Britannia and Engineer Brookman of the
steam yacht Tabura were drowned.
Chief Officer Simons and his companions
left the Prince of Wales cutter for the
shore on Saturday in dingy. But during
a rain squall the dfngy was lost sight of,
and yesterday morning she was picked up
floating bottom up. AS nothing has since
been heard of the three men 1t is concluded
that they were drowned.
The Prince Of Wales, in his telegram to
Capt. Carter said that unless Vigilant in

The cyclone that swept across the sea of

the damage done, but 1t is almost certain
that at least 1000 people have persisted
some by drowning, others by being crushed
under falling houses and trees.
The excitement is great among the Amer
