The WOrkhOuse and AlmshOuse Rec
ord for the Winter.
There exists in many minds a general
impression that the poverty which has been
SO much in evidence during the past win
ter could not but be the cause Of an in
crease of petty crimes, but while this i'm
preston may have good reason for ex-
istence elsewhere, it is without support
here. Intendent Stoutenburgh of the city
workhouse and almshouse said to a Star
reporter at the District building today
that the workhouse never had. in all his
experience, fewer occupants than it has
had during the chilly months just departed;
the average having been quite hundred
lower than in previous winters. Especially
small was the number Of women imprison-
ed, the total of female offenders once being
as low as twenty-six; the aggregate of
both sexes being, as rule, somewhere in
the neighborhood of 100, in prisons that
have accommodated 800 persons. Two rea-
sons Tor such a remarkable falling Off
were advanced: One that the hard times
deprived both men and women of the
money with which to purchase intoxi-
cants; the other that the free and lavish
distribution of food and clothing rendered
unnecessary many of the offenses by which
a considerable number of lower-grade resi-
dents We're accustomed to break into the
workhouse. The conditions that affected
the workhouse did not, however. influence
the almshouse. for in that institution the
number of tenants was about the usual
thing.

Warden Leonard Denies.

Referring to the published statement that
Davey. an Englishman. recently released
from Jail, would prefer charges of misman-
agement against Warden Leonard, Mr..
Leonard stated to Star reporter this
afternoon that the statements Of Davey
were utterly false. THE charges are as
false and malicious as they can be-" said
the warden, land l court the fullest in
vestigation."
District Attorney Birney stated this after
noon that Davey had not filed any charges
against Warden Leonard with him. IF
the man has any charges to make" ex-
planned Mr. Birney, Il suppose he will file
them with the Attorney General"

BREAK AMONG ADDICKs' MEN.
After Sticking to Him for Nincty-Five
Ballots.

Ballots.
DOVER. Del. March 29.-Tor the first
time since the balloting for United States
Senator began, nearly three months ago.
one of Addicks' followers deserted him to-
day and cast his ballot for James Penne-
will, prominent Dover lawyer. Before the
two houses met today the air was full of
rumors of assertions. but no one thought
for moment that after sticking to Ad-
dicks for ninety-five ballots any of his six
faithful followers would desert him.
When the first ballot was taken there
was much excitement in the house. For
the past few days it had been rumored that
the Higgins and Addicks men would unite
on Pennewill, but the story could not be
confirmed Today's developments, however,
seem to bear out the rumor. The Addicks
people profess to feel confident that there
will be more assertions from their man,
but it is probable that 4 climax will be
reached in few days. The legislators are
becoming tired of the deadlock and. do not
hesitate to say so.
The two ballots today resulted as follows:

Wants n New Trial.

Yesterday afternoon in the Police Court
after The Stars report closed, in the case
Of Allocious Thorn, the resident Of Twining
City charged with Shaping Selden NJ. Ely,
principal of the Van Buren, public school
annex, in Anacostia, several witnesses were
examined, and the defendant told his side
of the story. He claimed that he used the
violence charged because the school teacher
advanced toward him and he imagined he
was going to strike him. Judge Mllers
charge was very brief, and when the jury
retired it was expected that a verdict would
be reached in a few minutes, but such was
not the case. The jurymen reported that
they were unable to agree upon a verdict
and asked for further instructions concern
ing the incident between the school teacher
and the defendants little brother before
the final meeting and alleged assault.
Judge Miller told them that had nothing
to do with the assault, except SO far as It
went to show the relation between the par
ties.
A few minutes later a verdict Of guilty
was returned, and Lawyer Ralston gave
notice Of a motion in arrest Of judgment
and for new trial.
During the trial Of the case it transpired
that one Of the principal witnesses for the
prosecution was a son Of one Of the Jury
men, and this will be used In an effort to
get q new trial.

Business ReVerSes.

Coroner Hammet was summoned, and,
after viewing the body, and hearing the
statement of the witnesses. decided death
to be suicidal, and gave certificate ac-
cordingly. The remains were turned over
to San6erson & Scott, who will have
charge of the funeral arrangements. Ac-
quaintances of Ware told Of reverses in his
business. Not over a week ago a valuable
horse of his died, and recently a more valu-
able one went lame. Inquiry at the board
ing house of Mr.. Sears, where Ware lived
showed that on two former occasions he
had endeavored to commit suicide Sunday
before last one attempt was made, but
Sears prevented him by securing the pistol
Last Sunday he again attempted to end his
life, but was prevented in the same way.
The father of the deceased is well known
in Prince Georges county. and is a promi-
Eent republican of the Oxon Hill district.
Arrangements for the funeral of the de-
ceased have been made. 1t will take place
from the office of Sanderson & Scott, on
Monroe street, Anacostia- This is because
of the rule Of the Catholic Church prohibit
ing services at the church, and there will
be no service, owing to similar doctrines.
The funeral procession will leave Anacostia
at 2 o'clock. and interment will be in Con-
RreSSiOnal cemetery.
