Chase B. Harrington, who is related,
it is saaid, to the aristocratic Harrington
family, which is so closely identified
with the United States Navy, and who
resides at No. 621 street northwest
was arrested last night on the serious
charge of false pretenses
The complainant is Marcus Notes, the
secondhand furniture dealer, at the cor
ner OF Second and G streets northwest
He alleges that several days ago Harring
ton came to his place OF business and said
he wanted to sell his furniture at the house
on Z street
Mr.. Notes visited the place, and after
examining the goods. told Mr.. Harrington
he would give him $500 for il, provided
there was no encumbrance on the fur
niture.
Mr.. Harrington SO Mr.. Notes states. in
formed him that the furniture was clear OF
all debt and membranes. and Notes gave
him check for $40 on account, promising
to pay him the balance when he took pos
session of the goods.
In the meantime Mr. Notes instituted an

chattel mortgage companies. He at once
consulted a lawyer. and was advised to
have Harrington arrested. which he did.

ities ought to be made and be denied or be
proved unsuccessful before the United
States interposes."
Mr.. Olney, in speaking of the situation
al New Orleans. said that. so far as he has
been able to learn, neither the city nor the
State authorities had called ont the local
militia or taken any vigorous means to
suppress the existing lawlessness.
He had no doubt, however, OF the ability
of the local authorities to handle the mob
if they really set about doing it. and in any
event, the government would not interfere
until the situation was clearly beyond the
control of the governor of the State, aided
by all of the militia force at his command.
The War Department officials say that
the State of Louisiana, with its militia
force of l,250 men. well drilled and organ
lied, should be able to cope with the diff
Guilty without outside aid. II it should
be necessary TO invoke the aid of the Fed
eral troops, the department now has two
batteries, ID and L. of the Third Artillery,
stationed at Fort Jackson, in the city
limits of New Orleans, and this force
could easily and quickly be supplemented
by troops from the Department of Texas.

America, in the role of ''Charles, the Wrest-

The German and Austrian ministers prom
ised Detective Maurice Quinlan yesterday
afternoon that they would both contribute
from their personal funds tea subscription
for the purpose OF sending little Anna to her
faraway home in Coigary. Canada.
They said there was no official fund that
could be used for that purpose, but were anx-
ious TO see her restored to her family. Be-
fore going to Canada, the Sterzinger family
lived in Austria, and thar fact secured the
sympathy of the Ambassador from that coun-
try.

Detective Quinlan says he will soon collect
enough money to send her over the 1900

PASTOR PLEDGED HIS PROPERTY

Efforts of Rev. w. B. Johnson TO Build a
Church Result in Law Suit.
Rev. W. Bishop johnson, pastor OF the
Second Baptist Church, colored. is defendant
in suit begun here yesterday. asking for the
sale OF his handsome residence, No. 445
Fourth street northeast.
The complainant in the suit is Augustine
Montegriffo. The bill sets forth that Mr.
Johnson owes the complainant S446 on a
promissory note secured by a second trust
upon the property. There are two other
claims against The property, one for $4,000,
the other for 81, 800. The prayer Is that the
sale be made. and if not enough is realized
to pay the entire S446 judgment be granted.
for the balance
Mr. Johnson has been very active in his
efforts for new church building for his con-
gregation at Third street near H northwest.
He has also been engaged in an effort to es-
tablish church magazine. 1t is understood
the debts have been incurred largely to meet
demands from these sources.
His property. under ordinary sale, is worth
about $1,000. 1t is not probable his congre-
cation will allow it to be sacrificed.

LATE NEWS OF THE DIAMOND.
Peffer Says He Will Retire Before Play
ing With the LouisviIIes.

Fred Pfeffer says that rather than play
with the Louisville club this season he
will retire from the diamond. When he
was reinstated by the League managers,
to the professional ranks, at their last
meeting in New York, it was conditioned
that he should play with the Louisville
club and pay a fine of $500. Pfeffer says
he will pay the fine, but will not play ball
this season. His friends have secured him
a position of a political character, at his
home in Chicago, where he will remain
during the coming season. Pfeffer's alb
scence from the diamond will be greatly
missed, and his friends hope when the time
arrives for the opening of the season he will
reconsider his decision. Pfeffer is I'M
mistakably the best second basemaD in the
professional ranks. and to compel him to
play with a losing club is, to say the least,
unfair. 1t is hoped that the League mag
mates will remove the ban under which
Pfeffer has been restored to favor.
