MASKS AND INCREMENT.
ArfOn Society Enjoys IA Ball With
Fantastic Participants.

Masks and merriment, Joy and jollity
were prominent last evening in Odd Eel
lows Hall, where the Arion Singing Soci-
ETY. held one of the masked balls for
which 1t is famous. Early in the evening
strange creatures, in charge of queer-look-
ing people, entered the hall and made them
selves at home The motley procession
continued steadily until about 10 o'clock,
when the auditorium was literally packed
with jostling, gocd-natured, chaotic con-
glomeration. The form of introduction was
apparently unknown, for everyone knew
everybody else, for the time being, at least
"A stately king tripped the light fantastic
with dusky female hailing from South
Sarolina, while an uncouth person; who.
"vag,' seemed happy as he twirled
around with person in his arms wearing
the uniform Of the Salvation Army.
The representations were numerous, some
artistic and some decidedly amusing. One
group CT nine persons styled itself "Our
Hon. Excise Board, d. c." A small boy,
accompanied it with sign to show Its
influence, a bevy of females, stylishly
SHOW In one corner of the hall was es
tablished a full-fiedged cotton plantation,
the aged darkies busily at work therein,
singing at intervals plantation melodies in
a manner true to the SOUTH The Salvation
Army, with its customary tambourines, lent
a religious aspect to the occasion, and old
ocean was called to mind by the presence
of quartet of handsomely costumed sailor
girls, hearing a huge anchor of flowers.
When the announcement of prizes was
made 1t was in favor of Mrs. L. Babcock
for the best female costume. Miss Mollie
Eggloff was next best, while P. E. Dement,
was declared to be the best male character.
Julius Peyser was not far behind him when

An Unfortunate Case.

Agent Wilson of the Humane Society to-
day sent to the Hope and Help Mission an
eighteen-year- girl named Marion Han
cock, who came here from Nanjemoy.
Charles county, Md, because she was be-
trayed by man whom she loved. Marion
was poorly clad in calico dress and black
coat and she seemed to feel her condition
keerly, and does not want to return home
until the evidences of her downfall have
disappeared. She left her home early in
November and came here on river
steamer. telling her parents she was COM
ing here to work for her living. On ac-
count of her condition she had to give up
her service place and has been IN Alex
andria several days. Yesterday afternoon
she reached here on the o'clock boat, and
at the wharf she was seen by Policeman
Dean of the police boat. He learned from
her the sad story of her life in Nanj3moy
and sent her to the police station. She re-
manned there last night and was turned
over to Agent Wilson this morning. This
officer talked kindly to the unfortunate girl
and assured her that she will receive
proper attention.

JUDGE cox OvERRULED.
A Curious situation I'm the Case OF
RO,lda, the Fugitive.

In an opinion written by Mr. Justice Nor
ris the Court of Appeals yesterday re-
versed the decision of Judge Cox in the
case of Walter A. Rodda, who last fall
was released from the District Jail by
Judge Cox a writ of habeas corpus.
Rcdda, who is British subject, was COM
mitted to Jail by the Police Court in Octo-
Der to await the action of the grand jury
on a charge of grand larceny. On the 18th
of that month he was arraigned In the
Police Court on charge of petit larceny,
and being convicted, was sentenced to Jail
for sixty days. The same day the grand
jury ignored the charge of grand larceny,
and a release from that charge was sent
down to the Jail Through the carelessness
or negligence of Warden Leonard Rodda
was released from confinement on that
paper, although the prisoner was at the
time serving the siXty-day sentence of
the Police Court. Several days later the
arden realized that he had assisted the
prisoner in effecting an involuntary es-
cape. Mr.. Leonard sent out one of his
guards TO retake the Englishman. That
vas done and the man was locked up in
Jail. Thereupon he prayed for his release
upon writ of habeas corpus, his conten-
ton being that Mr.. Leonard had au-
thority i'm law to retake him, and was
alone responsible for his negligence. Judge
Cox sustained Roddas contention and di-
rected his release. Mr.. Leonard noted an
appeal to the Court of Appeals. He failed
to perfect his appeal bond, it was claimed
by Mr.. Calderon Carlisle. Rodda's counsel,
and the appellate court was asked to dis
miss the appeal. The Court of Appeals,
however. holds that the United States
ard rot Mr.. Leonard was the real defend
ant in the habeas corpus proceedings no
appeal bond was necessary. The court holds,
also, that the good of society permits no
vicariouS atonement in criminal cases, and
that the warden of the Jail cannot, there
fore. be punished for his negligence by al
lowing the prisoner to remain at liberty.
decision therefore
reversed.
An amusing feature of the case is that
while the Court of Appeals holds that the
man was wroIgfully released from Gus
tody by Judge Cox the fact remains that
the Enilishman is at large and out of the
Jurisdiction of the court, it is said.
