DISoRDERLY WASHINGToNIANS.-
five o'clock on Saturday evening Thos.
Kinsella, c. ]. SALISBURY and Maud
and Fannie Minor, all Of Washington,
arrived in this city, and, according to
their statements, made several inetfect-
ual attempts TO have a marriage cere-
mony performed between Kinsella and
Fannie, the youngest OF the two fe-
males. About eight o'clock the four
emerged from restaurant and started
up King street, Maude, the eldest
sister and KiEsella holding Fannie
up, she appearing to be sick or
suffering from the effects of the
refreshments she had INDUCED in.
They passed up the square bounded by
Royal and Pitt streets, returned and
later entered a millinery store, where
the young woman seemed to grow
worse, and her friends were advised to
send for DR.. Jones. The doctor upon
an examination found that the young
woman needed instant attention. He
told her friends she should be taken
somewhere and put to bed and be given
proper treatment. The party then pro-
ceeded 10 the Infrmary and Fannie IVES
put to bed. The matron told Maud she
had better go to bed with her sister and
attend her during the night. The ma
tron then told the two men it would be
necessary for them to leave deposit
say about Sl0-with which to defray
the expenses of attending the sick girl.
The men grew indignant and disorder
ly at this REQUEST and were ordered out,
but they came back and bscawe more
disorderly than before, when it became
necessary to seek police protection.
DR.. Jones, who was at the Iufirmary at
the time, also ordered the men out.
The sick woman, in the meantime,
was told to make herself easy,
as she would be allowed TO stay
until her friends could be communica.-
ed with. She. however, refused TO re-
main and rose and dressed in order to
follow the men. Both women then

keeping up the disorder, until Officer
Atkinson arrived and put them all un-
der arrest Stansbury ct first resisted
the officer, but fearing the club finally
submitted, but not until he had done
some cursiug. AT the station house
Kinsella was abrupt and insolent in his
demeanor. While being searched he
said, "I've no pistol, had | had one I'd
have used it," The men were put IN
cells and it was intended to lock the
two women in an upper room, but they
insisted upon going into the cells with
the men. The women finally assented
to going to the upper room, but yester-
day morning they asked that the two
men be allowed in the room with them.
Their request was granted and during
the time they were together they de-
filed the room seemingly as much as
they could. At hslf-past one o'clock
in the afternoon the Mayor held court
for the purpose of allowing the party
to return to Washington. The evil
dence was to the effect that when the
four reached the Infrmary they show
ed the effects of strong drink, that they
we're disorderly and had caused a
scene in the streets. The women de-
MED having drank Intoxicating drinks,
but the men admitted they had. They
were cross questioned closely in regard
to what had superinduced the young
woman's illness. and showed them
selves adopts in evading direct answers,
but later one of the men acknowledged
that the pointed questions put to them
were pertinent. The Mayor told them
their conduct was reprehensible and
calculated to arouse suspicion, that
they were guilty of disorderly conduct
and he would fne them five dollars
each. The party could pool but S..
Stansbury, however, pledged his gold
watch and chain for the remainder,
and they were released. Fannie
Minor, the younger of the women, is
about fifteen years of age. She caused
some excitement in Anacostia recently
by suddenly disappearing. Kinsella,
it is said, will marry her today in
Washington.
