HIGHWAY ROBBERY ATTEMPTED.
Five Young Men Wish to Get Rich
Suddenly.

Five Young Men Wish to Get Rich
Suddenly.
Saturday night about 0 o'clock five young
white men who wanted to become wealthy
made desperate attempt to assault and
rob Mr.. r. A. Golden, the well-known fish
and game dealer, and it was only because
Of the stout resistance of Mr.. Golden that
he was not relieved of large sum Of
money and probably killed. The affair hap
pened in an alley between 10th and 18th and
E and F streets, in front of Mr.. Golden's
stable.
1t was about 0 o'clock Saturday night
when Mr.. Golden entered the alley to put
his team up for the night, and when he
stepped from the vehicle his attention was
directed to three men by the remark: Your
money or your life and keep your mouth
thrust pistol in Mr.. Golden's face and he
was dealt a severe blow on the head with
the butt Of the pistol
Realizing then that the men were in earn
est Mr.. Golden drew his own revolver and
started in pursuit Of the one who had the
pistol, but in attempting to draw his pistol
the weapon caught in his clothing and Mr..
Golden fell.
This gave the fugitive a good start, and
although Mr.. Golden fired one shot at him.
he escaped. A colored man who had been
attracted to the scene by Mr.. Golden's out
cry started in pursuit of the men, but be-
shot, and sought place of safety.
When the police were notified of the
affair, and made the investigation, they
concluded that the would-be highway rob-
bers belonged in South Washington, and
were well acquainted with the man they
started to rob.
Lieut.. Vernon detailed Policemen Hughes
and Bannagan to investigate the case,
and they succeeded in arresting four young
men. Charles Werden. David Adams, Wm
Werden and Robert Simmons, and locked
them up on suspicion of having been i'm
plioated in the ''hold-up."
The officers alleged that these young men
were near the alley Saturday night, and
there was another companion with them
but he has not been caught. 1t is also al
legged that David Adams, one of the party,
called at Mr.. Golden's office and asked for
him.
There are several witnesses to give evil
dence in the case, but the exact nature of
what they will say will not be known until
the case is tried The four prisoners were
taken to the Police Court this morning,
where their counsel, A A. Lipscomb asked
for a continuance, which was granted

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
Sewer Ordered.

The Commissioners have ordered that a
sewer in Harvard street between 18th and
14th streets be added to the schedule of
sewers to be built when Congress appro-
PIRATES funds sufficient, under the per-
NIT system, at an estimated cost Of 81, ,23S.
High Service System.
An order has been issued that $4,000 be
taken from the water fund for the purpose
OF continuing the extension of the high
service system of water distribution, =.
provided for in the District appropriation
act approved August I. 1894.
Assessment Begun.
The triennial assessment of District
property has been begun by the perma-
rent board of tax assessors. The assess
ment starts with square l in old Wash
iEgton, bordering on Rock creek, and the
work will proceed on the squares in regu-
lar order. After the completion of Wash
ington proper West Washington will be
assessed next, and then the county.
Displaying Goods.
In response to inquiry made by busi-
ness man as to whether there Is any law
against displaying goods and merchandise
by hanging the same within four feet of
the building line, the attorney for the Dis
trict has, at the request of the Commits
sicners, rendered the following opinion:
"An ordinance of the late corporation of
Washington of 1855 authorizes merchants
to use the sidewalks for distance Of four
feet from the building line in front of their
stores for the display Of their goods The
ordinance does not specify to what height
that display may go, but l think the height
Il; to be limited to the first story of the
building in front of which the display is
made, since to display goods higher than
the first story would obstruct the view of
the second story of windows of adjoining
premises and would therefore be an unrea-
sonable use of the privilege"
Bad Condition.
Health Officer Woodward reports to the
Commissioners the foul and offensive con-
dition Of the catch basin at the mouth of
alley in square 297.
Inferior Slate.
1t having appeared that the contractor
for the slate work on the new Mount Pleas
ant school, George ]. Fritsch, was using
an inferior quality of slate on the roof, the
Commissioners ordered an investigation
last week. The result was that the con-
tractor has been directed to remove the
present slate roof and put on a new one
which shall come up to the specifications
of the contract.

WHILE Democratic comments on the

Two years are passionately blunt, they
are not entirely fair. Not one has been
observed which does not strive to cast all
the blame on one faction or the other
But no just or adequate Judgment is
possible if men persist in ignoring either
the share of the President in all the mis-
chief or the share of Congress. If it is
true that the President had a fearful
load to carry in such Congress, it is also
true that the party had fearful load to
carry in such a President. Nor is it
merely a matter of abstract justice that
these things should be understood. Those
who are forever idealizing and worship.

New YORK, March l5.-Those who ex-
pected an expression of opinion on the
question of Sunday opening from Mayor
Strong at the mass meeting at Coopc'
Union last night were disappointed The
mayor sent a brief note 90 DR. John Fried
richs signed by Secretary Hedges, in which
he expressed his inability TO be present at
the meeting or to send a lengthy letter.
More than 1900 people were gathered in
the big hall in Cooper Union when ex
Senator John G. Boyd called the meeting
to order. On the southern end of the hall
was tlaring poster bearing the words
1--WE demand vote on the Sunday ques-
tion; let the majority rule"
William Steinway was unable to preside
on account of illness Otto Kempner was
chairman, and made speech Of some
length against the Sunday closing law,
Rev. DR.. w. 5 Rainsford, of St Georges
church, said in part;
Il am opposed to the present excise law
which closes saloons ON Sunday. 1 am in
favor of opening saloons on that day for
certain hours say from II midday to 10
oclock at night" He said he believed
that the opening of saloons for certain

breaking. The present law, he Thought,
was impossible of enforcement, and its
disregard begot "a disrespect for law which
was unhealthy for the public morals. As
to this evasion he said; Il need not say
that this is not true of Irish and Germans
alone. 1t is also true of large proportion
of our American population.
Il am in favor of opening the saloons on
Sunday because l think such action fairer
to the poor men and to the working Glasses.
Personally believe the vast majority of
men in every way are healthier and richer

"The only club the worllingman has ia
the saloon He does not go there simply
to drink or to smoke, he goes to meet his
friends, for he has no home in which they
can meet him. You hova no right to close
up the workingman's cab on Sunday. If
you do you must close up the gentlemen's $
clubs"
A letter from Carl Schurz was read in
which he pursued substantially the same
argument as had DE-. Rainsford. DR. John
Friedrich, ex Mayor Oakley Hall and Rev
J. H. Rylance rector of st. Mark church,
also spoke.

ALL of our readers are aware that one
of the principal Free Trade claims was
that they would lift the burdens of the
Tariff from the shoulders of the poor,
that the luxuries of the rich should bear
the weight of duties-for revenue only.
1t seems that the poor have been ground
down and injured by duty on pictures
painted by foreigners, who preferred liv-
ing in foreign countries to buying their
supplies here. Desiring to relieve the
suffering poor, and enable them to pur-
chase the pictures of artists who were
neither born nor naturalized in this
country, Professor Wilson and Grover
Cleveland removed the duty on pictures
painted by foreigners who persist in re,
siding abroad. The plan seems to have
worked admirably. We learn that a syn.
dicate of English artists and other paint
ers have been formed to send paintings
into this country, and already our poor,
and others, can buy cheap English pic
lures

NEW ORLEANS has been noted for its
disgraceful riots, but that of Monday
for cold, blooded atrocities has seldom
been paralleled in that city. Yet Mon.
days riot was but continuation, on q
lGrger scale, of the riots that commenced
last September, when the white sore wmen
or stevedorss who load ships at the lsvSe
Goek 1t into their heads that there was no
necessity for colored men following their
sRlliRg, and the sooner they were disposed
of by powder and shot the better. At
that time several negroes were killed or
driven into the river and drowned. Riot
anE more or less. has been going on ever
since, and either through the negligence
or the secret cohniyance OF the police no
effective efforts have been made to stopit.
Saturday the white laborers, finding that
the colored men would neither remain
adle, nor emigrate or starve, organized a
plan OF assassination that was carried out
TO the letter on Monday. They formed
4hemSelves into bands Of armed men,
who hid behind posts, pillars and cotton
Ibales, and when they saw the colorsd
laaen going to work, fired upon and killed
all they could, Those who sought refuge
an the vessels were pursued and fred on,
and those who jumped into the river were
Eeft to their fate. 1t was cold-blOoded
and cowsrdly plot but it was not more
30 than the inaction Of the Mayor and
Governor, who had been warned Of pos
sibe massacre, and who had been appealed
to to give protection not only to the work
dngmen, but to the property Of citizens
that would be in danger when the riots
s0mmenced.
