There was ripple of excitement yester-
ferro case in the police court caused by an
episode in which Mr.. Pugh and Rev. h T.
Stevenson were the principals. 1t grew
out of remark made by the latter which
Mr.. Pugh thought reflected upon himself.
Mr.. Stevenson, as chairman Of two com
mittees, the Anacostia Citizens aud the
Civic Center. was present III the police
court to see after the details of the prosecu-
ton. He informed Mr.. Pugh that the case
would be closely watched and, any derelic-
ton of duty carefully noted.
Hot words resulted, but mutual explain
ations dissipated the causeso OF offeDse
MRS TALIAFERRO's CASE.
Mrs. ella Taliaferro, sister of Mr.. John
Moss, the coIored lawyer, appeared in the
police court yesterday charged with keep
ing an unlicensed bar, and demanded jury
trial. Bonds in the sum of 81 900 were
furnished, Mr.. Moss acting as security.
Mrs. Taliaferro's premises, on Nichols
aevnue, Hillsdale, were raided Sunday by
Sergt. Kirby and Policemen Green, An
derson and Hagan, of the Anacostia sub
station, and two demijohns, one filled
with whisky and the other with gin, be-
sides several empty beer bottles, were
captured.
Both Lawyer Moss and llfs Sister az
firm that the affair is the work OF their
enemies In Hnlsdale, who are angry at the
stand they have taken IN the Green-Foster
affair, and have taken this means of re-
venging themselves. The case viii prob
ably be heard to-day.
A~cf A To- Z
Pugh is Of the opinion that section Is
of the license law adopted In 1893 debars
justices OF the peace from officially taking
coguizance of violations OF its provisions,
and yesterday instructed the police to
serve NO more warrants in such cases,
except they receive them from the police
court.
NEW WARRANTS PROCURED.
The question arose In Mrs Taliaferro's
case, and under Mr.. Pugh's directio
Officer Anderson is understood to have
procured new warrants in the case.
The warrants for the arrest of Mrs. Talia-
ferro We're issued by Justice Smith, OF
Anaco sta, under authority conferred
by section 500 of the Revised Statutes
of the District OF Columbia, which pro-
vides that ANY justice of the peace may,
on complaint under oath or actual view,
issue warrants returnable TO the police
court against persons accused of crimes
and offenses committed in the District"
Justice Smith holds that this provision
of the statute gives him undoubted au-
thority in the Taliaferro case, and while
not disposed to discuss the matter, said
last night that he would continue to iSsue
warrants for any similar Offeuse when
called upon, unless the same be prohibited
by the Attorney General.
1t is understood III at Justices Mills
and O'Neill both agree with Justice Smith.

Anderson, Ind, April s.-Last Saturday
jury returned a verdict that George
Hires fired the shot which killed W. ].
Foust, farmer, in the home OF Mrs. Bolton
at ElwoOd last July.
Ever since, Mrs. Bolton has been de-
pressed in her cell in this city and has
just made confession that she herself
killed Foust with pistol. She said
that Foust came into her house intoxi-
Gated, where Hires and several other men
were present, and she asked for a revolver,
which was handed to her by one of the
men, when she fired at Foust, the ball
entering his belly and killing him. Hires
was sentenced to thirteen years in the
penitentiary. He viii probably be given
new trial

Members of the Lutheran order vary their
costume slightly, for every house OF German
Deaconesses has a right to some distinctive
detail in the cut of hood and cape, muslin

severe plain black gown is the rule, while
the Episcopal Deaconesses wear dark blue
cloth suits and cuffs and collars OF stiff
white linen.

Pollock in Holiday Attire.

This has been q regular week of fes-
tivities for the people of Pollock and
vicinity. First, on the night of Friday,
June 18th, they had the closing exhibi-
ton exercises of their splendid and pros
porous High School, of which we will
give a more extended account next week.
On Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday,
July LIST, I'd, and Sd, the Grant Parish
Teachers Institute held it's second ses-
sion in Pollock, and the varied and ex-
tensive programme. that has heretofore
been published in this paper, was carried
out. with some additional attractions
provided by the local residentcrs to help
out the entertainment features of the &C.
casion. They decided to hold their next
Institute at Montgomery in September
1895.
The grand event Of the week, of course
was the barbecue md speaking on the
18th. We regret exceedingly that time
and space will not allow us to give an
extended account of the way the "Glori-
ous Fourth" was celebrated at Pollock,
as it was magnificent in it's proportions,
and was carried out in such grand style
as to reflect much credit on the patriot
ism and intelligence of the gentlemen
who managed the affair. Fully 1900
people were present, and the supply of
barbecued beef, mutton, pork, kid and
venison, supplemented with chickens,
hams. salads, pickles. cakes, etc., was am
pie, and there was plenty to spare after
all had eaten to safety.
The programme was entered upon
about 10 a. m. Good behavior, good hu-
NOR and patriotic enthusiasm was the Or
der Of the day. H. @. Goodwin, OF Col
fax, Judge w. F. Blsckman, OF Alsxan-
dria, and Judge Geo. Wear, of Columbia,
were the speakers, and all were accorded
an attentive and respectful hearing.
A rain csuse up about half-past 2, i'm
mediately after dinner, and all had 10
make for shelter. The procession and
Reunion OF Old Soldiers had to be sban-
doned on account OF the rain, but with
this exception the entire programme
for the day wac carried out.
At night the Junior Order wound up
their successful festal celebration with
grand ball in their spacious hall. which
was crowded to its utmost capacity with
lovely bellies and manly beaux from all
parts OF Grant and adjoining parishes.
And now. before closing, we will crowd
in a compliment to the Junior Order of
United American Mechanics, under whose
auspices everything was conducted, for
their splendid exemplification of the
motto. I'm Union there is Strength"
