LIKE A ROMAN CHARIoTEER.
HOW Policeman Hernl0n. Arrested u

How Policeman Hernlon~ Arrested a
Pair of Mules and u Tired Farmer.
The sight of policeman in full uniform
driving pair of mules down Pennsylvania
avenue created considerable amusement
among passers-by about 1870 O'Clock this
afternoon. Policeman Herndon of the first
precinct, while patrollng his beat, found a
farmers team standing in the middle of the
street near the Center Market. The owner
had brought his truck into market this
morning, and having disposed of 1t at a fair
profit proceeded to get another load to take
home with him. He over-estima ted his car
rying capacity and dropped sound asleep
in the bottom of the wagon. He was UNI
able to manage his team of patient mules
when the policeman protested against his
performance. and there was nothing left
for Herndon to do, but to mount the wagon
and drive the whole outfit to the station
There was no seat. SO he stood up and
handled the ribbons like a Roman char
ioteer. A neighbor of the farmers called
at the station a few minutes after the ar
rest and, on his promise to see that the
helpless tiller of the soil got safely home,
the farmer mules and wagon were released
from custody. ... .,..,..g. cd.

There Is in New England crack bicycle
rider named Edward McDuffie, who has
won many races. There is also another
racer who impersonates him. The latter
arrived In this city Sunday, and made
known his desire to participate in The races
here on the 10th of this month None of
the local wheelmen. it appears Is ac-
quainted with the real McDuffle, and SO the
impostor found no difficulty in imposing on
two of Washington's cycle dealers
He first called on Manager Britton of the
Columbia Cycle Company, and induced him
to believe that he was the real McDuffie.
Mr.. Britton went with him to the race
track, where the young mans exhibition
convinced him that he was really a good
rider, whether he was the real McDuffie or
rot. And SO he concluded to have the
young man ride one Of the Columbia
wheels. =.I-..
At the same time the young man lad
succeeded in getting in the good graces Of
Mr.. Cline of the Victor Company, and the
latter was equally anxious to have him
ride one of his wheels.
The visitor was given wheel to ride i.ys

THE BEER BOTTLE LAW.
The BOttlers' Rniding Committee Sc
cure the First Conviction Todny.

The BOttlers' RaidinG Committee Sc.
cure the First Conviction Today,
Members Of the raiding committee of the
Beer Rottlers' Association have been max
ing tour of the city to find places where
tie law relating to registered beer bottles
was being violated. As the result of their
labors the first case was brought into the
Police Court today, and the members of the
association were delighted at the decision
OF Judge Miller. They think that the law
mas now been proclaimed broadly enough
to put all the violators on their guard, and
they will ask that no mercy be shown any
of those who are caught.
The association finds it rather expensive to
col duct the clearing house business, and
when they succeed in entrapping violator
OF law it Is their intention to push the case
in court as today they did that of Edward
c. Munck in whose possession 147 register
ed bottles were found some of which were
empty.
Mr. George Gray of iAnacostia, who is
chairman OF the raiding committee, made
the first purchase at Mr.. Munck's place
and paid him cents for each bottle in ad-
Zion to the price Of the beer.
Mr.. Munck keeps aseonfectionery store on
9th street northwest between and X
streets, and, in connection with this BUSH
less. he conducts beer bottling establish
ment en- a small scale.
Among the bottles found on the defend
ants premises were some belonging to
Charles Jacobson's Arlington bottling es-
Establishment, 5. c. Palanier, Bergner L. En-
eies. Banner Brewing Co., c. F.. Hermann
& Co, Smith Mazinser. j. H. Schleuter
and others.
The defendant, who has been in the busi-
ess a number of years, made a statement
il. his own behalf. He claimed that years
ago he had bought some marked bottles
and attributed his prosecution partly to
his own careiessness. He thought, in view
of his conduct in the matter. he should not
be fined, but Judge Miller told him that the
law was imperative, and imposed a fine
of 80 cents for each bottle found at his
place, including the empty ones. The fine
amounted to $3.50. which the defendant
paid. -'."--

avenue. But that Is done all the time and
the way the whole thing is managed is an
outrage on a civilized community. I can
recall half dozen fatal accidents at that
long as pedestrians, vehicles and street cars
are compelled to cross railroad tracks on
grade" .h,;
Trains stiH Parked ON the Avenue.
Leaving DR.. Johnson's office and walking
towards the Long bridge. the reporter found
long freight train parked on Virginia
avenue between 9th and 18th streets, for
all the world as though the avenue was
freight yard owned by the railroad COM
pany. From the gateman's box at the cor
ner of 18th street 1t would have been al
most impossible to bee train approaching
from the east. ,
A Breach of Faith.
Mr.. ]. Harrison johnson, who resides a
short distance from the scene of the col
lision. stated to a reporter Of The Star today
that he was an eyewitness to a part of the
accident. 1t was due. he said, to the nefar-
ious practice of the railroad In parking its
cars on the public reservation, and On its
main tracks on Virginia avenue Some time
ago ne had sued out an injunction against
the railroad to prevent the parking Of the
cars In front of his house. but his attorney
being assured by the attorney for the rail-
road that the cars would not be parked ut
that place In the future, the injunction was
not pushed. The nagman who operates the
gates at It'll street could not see the engine
as 1t was approaching. and should not be
held responsible for the accident. Neither
was the grtpman of the cable car at fault,
for he thought the track clear when the
sateman raised the safety gates. There
seems to be little use in fighting the rail-
roads," he said. "They are too firmly in
trenched in Congress. 1t is a shame,
though. that this railroad is allowed not
only to usurp public reservations, but al
lowed to park it's cars along street, to the
detriment and injury of every one."

Decision I'm q Suit Involvfng Over a
Milton.
Judge Williams of the New York supreme
court at WATERFOWL, N. Y, has given an
opinion in the celebrated suit brought by
Philo Osgood and others against United
States Senator w. c. Squire and others, in
volving the title to between 81, 200, 600 and
100000 worth of property in the city of
Seattle. Wash.
The judge decides in favor of Senator
Squire.
The case has been on trial more than a
year, and excited wide interest. Originally
Philo Remington, the typewriter man of
lion, together with Philo Osgood, Floyd C.
Sheppard, William S. King and John n.
Goodwin, bought the property in partner
ship; Remington and Osgood advanced most
of the money for purchase of the land, and
the title remained theirs until 1876 Good
win and Osgood released to Remington, sub
sequently, all their interest in the property
On July II, 1S16, Remington decided the
property to his son-in-law, Watson C.
SQUIRE. for the sum Of $4,000. .s..
In 1893, King, Osgood and Sheppard, three
of the original owners, made. claim to an
interest in the property. under the original
agreement. - - =.
Judge Williams holds that the partnership
originally entered into by the parties was a
partnership in name, but not in effect He
finds that the sale to Squire was fair and
valid. and orders final decision to be- pre-
pared in accordance with the opinion, dis
missing the plaintiffs complaint. with costs.

and is used to form the roof of the mauso-
leum which Mr.. Christian Heurich has
erected on his farm near Riverdale, a sta
ton on the Washington branch of the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad. The stone was
of SUCH large dimensions that it could not
be loaded fiat on the car, and SO 1t was
placed on edge. 1t was unloaded under the
direction OF ]. r. Manning by hydraulic
jacks. The united strength of twenty-five
horses was required to haul the stone from
the station to the farm, a distance of two
miles.

Writ of Mandamus Sought Against
the District C0mmi ssfOners.
A petition for a writ of mandamus was
filed today against the District Commits
sioners by Attorneys VIM. F. Mattingly
and Henry Wise Garrett on behalf Of the
Prospect Hill cemetery. The petitioners
state that under the provisions of the act
of Congress of December q, 1893, opening
North Capitol street, the sum of $40, T24
was awarded to them for land belonging
to them, and the sum of 1882 for dam
ages to other real estate of theirs. They
complain that the moley has been appro-
priated and the opening of the street di-
rected, but that the Commissioners have
neglected and delayed doing both. They,
therefore, pray that they be compelled to
do both things.
The petition was presented to Judge
Bradley, who directed that a rule to show
cause, returnable on the 18th instant, be
issued.

prominence of all parties. Major Allyn
married Mrs. Durham as soon as the di-
vorce was granted, and Dunham's suit for
damages followed. Mrs. Durham was
