STREET OBSTRUCTIONS.
officer HartiGan begins Work on
EcOtblacks.


There are about 200 bootblacks in this
city, so the police think, and one of this
number was taken into the Police Court
this morning and charged with obstruct-
ing the sidewalk at 9th street and Penn
sylvania avenue. James Bright was the
name he gave and Police eman Hartigan was
the policeman who made the arrest.
The boy told the judge that he was black
ing a mans shoes and that he was near
the curbstone, where he did not obstruct
the sidewalk.
Judge Kimball told him to be careful in
the future. saying he did not want to de-
prive the boys of their meals of livelihood
taken.
There was a charge of obstructing the
sidewalk in front of Georgetown school
building with a pile of coal.
The coal was deposited on the sidewalk
in the afternoon and left there that night.
Mr.. johnson said that this was special
order of coal and, he said, he was sup
posed to deliver the coal inside the build
ing, but he thought there had been some
mistake made this time.
The policeman said he thought there We're
forty tons of coal on the sidewalk.
\ fine of 50 was imposed.
In the case of w. T. Burns for an alleged
street obstruction in the form of steps in
front of his premises on Ohio avenue, a
further continuance was granted because
Mr.. Hay, his counsel, said that the Com
nissioners had promised to consider the
matter at early date.
The order for the removal of the Louis
lana avenue Instructions expired last night
and the police report that most of the OBJ
structions have been removed. Several
meat stands near 9th street are still there,
and Policeman Breen will probably swear
out warrants for the alleged offenders to-
morrow.

Jumped Overheard.

Mary Williams, a quiet-loolling colored
girl. was a prisoner in the Police Court
today, and the charge against her was
vagrancy, the information charging that
she was found in the Eastern branch. The
reading OF this part of the charge caused
a laugh, but the proof showed that no mis-
take had been made, for Mary was really
taken out of the water.
For some days past the girls mother has
had reason to suspect that her mind was
impaired. At times the girl would stand at
the front door and talk to herself, imagin-
Ing there was some one on the sidewalk.
Yesterday when the girl left horne and
started TO run in the direction of the
branch her mother followed and screamed
Murder" and Police" and when the girl
reached the railroad track she jumped
overheard A young colored man followed
and rescued her before she reached the
channel
Judge Kimball committed the girl for a
mental examination.

A Confidence Game.

Two young men, who gave their names as
Frank Jones and Edward Legrand, We're
prisoners in the Police Court today, charged
with being vagrants and suspicious per-
sons Jones was also charged with larceny.
The prisoners admitted their guilt and said
they were driven to wrong by poverty. Mr..
Evan r. Dern, whose place of business is
on Ohio avenue, appeared as their victim.
Legrand went to Dern's shop two weeks
ago and was given assistance. While there
ne learned of friends of Mr.. Derns in In
diana, and two days ago Jones appeared
with what purported to be letter of in
PRODUCTION from a Miss Jessie Jones. On
the strength of this letter Mr. Dern parted
with 81, and Jones also stole pair Of cuff
buttons from him.
Judge Kimban told the defendants they
were fortunate that there was not a peni-
tentiary offense charged against them.
Jones was given sixty days for the theft
and they were given thirty days each for
Va2raQcy.

War OF Races.

Moy Ping, a Chinese laundryman, was
out visiting last night and it was late
when he started to return to his laundry.
He reached the corner Of Pennsylvania
avenue and 10th street about l o'clock in
the morning and there he was met by
two Frenchmen, who stopped him and
made an effort to assault and rob him, so
he charges. Moy was assaulted and he
also thinks he lost a small amount of
money, but the prosecuting attorney could
find no reason for bringing charge of
anything but assault when he investigated
the case this morning. When Moy had
been so badly treated he blew his police
whistle and attracted the attention OF the
police officers Ricketts, and Dodge and
Special officer Young responded and ar
rested the Frenchmen. They gave their
names as Emile Gamear and Ogar Charles,
the former sailor and the latter an artist.
Judge Miller heard the proof in the case
today and imposed a sentence of eleven
months and twenty-nine days in jail.

MIR. ROOME RESIGNS.
Leaves District Work to Become a
Bank Cashier.

DUHk CaSn1er.
Mr.. William Oscar Roome, for twenty
years chief of the special assessment divi-
| sion Of the District, today rendered to the
commissioners his resignation of the office.
This action Of Mr.. Roome's was perfectly
voluntary. Yesterday he was appointed
cashier Of the Ohio National Bank, upon
the unanimous vote of the directors and
he leaves the service of the District to
accept the position. Mr.. Roome by his
long service in this special branch of the
local government has acquired knowledge
of assessments in all of their varied forms
that has been almost invaluable, and the
Commissioners are in a quandary as to
who his successor will be. There are few
branches of the municipality that require
such special knowledge as the office of
chief Of the assessment division, and the
official must have thorough knowledge of
the law, together with an intimate ac-
quaintance Of the different laws under
which assessments were levied. 1t is most
of it knowledge of the past, during the
regime of Governor Shepherd and the old
board of public works that Is required.
Gals of the city, and is in the front ranks
of Masonry. He is a thirty-three degree
Mason, president Of the board of trustees
of the Scottish Rite Cathedral and for
thirteen years has been master of Mthras
Lodge of Perfection. He is also master
Of Evangelist Chapter OF Rose Croix. and
provincial grand secretary for the Royal
Order of Scotland in the United States.
Mr. Roon1e will enter upon his new duties
as his successor has been ap-
pointed and qualities. The position will
not be strange to him, for he has already
served long apprenticeship in the bank
ing business. For some years he was con-
nected with the Irving Bank of New York
as assistant teller. and later was assistant
teller of the old Continental Bank in New
York. When the war broke out he went to
the front as a private in the SeVenty-firSt
regiment Of the New York National Guard
He was wounded at the first Bull Run
fight and when he recovered joined the
thirty-seventh New York as captain, COM
manding company X, and served in the
second division, sixth army corps. under
Gen. ''Baldy'' Smith. He was later made
a major. Mr.. Roome was appointed chief
of the special assessment division in 1874
by Gen. ketcham, who was then Com
missioner, and since his appointment has
served the District faithfully.

''There is absolutely no truth in the pub

renting Of sidewalks of the city," said
Capt. Powell to a reporter Of The Star to-
day. THE sidewalks of the city are for
the pedestrians and 1 am opposed to their
use for anything else. 1 have thought
ever since 1 first became connected with
the District, and believe now more than
ever before, that upon certain business
streets it might be well to rent to the
owner or occupant of certain business
houses the parking Immediately in front
of such places. This would not interfere
with the free use of the sidewalk and
would be of immense benefit TO the business
