Turned over as Deserters.

It is probable that BalcA and Day will not
be brought here fortrial, although they were
arrested and are now in the custody of the
Baltimore police.
Itseems that both young men are deserters
from the regular army, and the military
authorities offered a reward of $50 for
their capture. The desire OF the Baltimore
officers who made the arrest to get the re-
ward may keep the young men out of the
hands of justice, as the Maryland authorities
have signified an intention to turn the
college men over to,the army, despite the
efforts of the Washington police to have
them brought here.

The Justice of the peace of the District
met last night in the office of Justice
Bundy for the purpose of considering the
new rules and fees of justices and con-
stables as pres cribed by the Supreme
Court, in accordance with the recent act
of Congress.

charge neither more nor less than the fees
prescribed, was approved.
The new rule precludes any irregular
transactions on the part of justices in

The abolition of cut rates by the rule of
the court seems to meet all the require
ments and the Justices have no uneasiness
as to future trouble, as the new rules in

 The Shakers have made 8 great hit. Their Digestive Cordial is said to bo the most successful remedy for stomach tronbles ever introduc- ed.
 It imm mediately relieves all pain and distress after eating, builds up the feeble system and makes the weak strong. The fact is, foods pro- perly digested are better than so- called tonics. The Cordial not only contains food already digested, but is "a digester of other foods, Food that is uotdigested does more harm than good. People who use the Cor dial insure the digestion of what food they eat and in this way get tho benefit of it and grow strong.
 The little pamphlets. which the Shakers have sent druggists for free distribution contain much interest ing information on the subject of dyspepsia.
