AssoHTED SINNERS.
There Was An Interesting Docket in
the Police Court Yesterday.

Rather an unusual case came up be-
fore Justice Tomlin in the Police Court
yesterday. when William Wilson was
arraigned on the charge of abductinE
Willie Craddock, a small boy of Berk-
ley. 1t was further charged that the
prisoner had made the lad drunk and
given him a pistol and ammunition.
To these facts young Craldocll testified.
The prisoner, when placed. on the
stand, said that the boy had applied
for a position on his barge. He had
communicated With his parents. who
had replied that the youngster was in
corrigibie and they desired witness to
take charge of him. He denied giving
the boy liquor and said that he pur-
chased the revolver himself.
Nevertheless, the Justice fined Wilson
500 and costs. This fine was later re-
duced to $3.50 and then 10 81, as the
Court learned of mitigating circum-
stances.
THREE MONTHS WORK.
Elijah Lassiter, colored, took a set of

The Department VIII Endeavor 70
Have Them Corrected

Washington, Nov. 21.-The Navy De-
partment has decided that certain i'm
perfections exist in the battleship Texas
and has determined to make an effort
10 remedy them.
These conclusions were reached at a
consultation of bureau chiefs in Sec
retary Herbert's office this morning. to
which Capt. Henry Glass, commander
of the unluc!Sy ship, had been sum
moned from New York.
Up to this time the department has
declined to concede that anything was
the matter with the ship, and under
these circumstances there has been n
clash of opinion between Admiral Bunce
and Capt. Glass, the former desiring to
have the Texas 90 out and drill with
his squadron, while Capt. Glass, who Is
compelled to risk his life and crew on
the vessel, has urged that she be per-
mitted to stay in navy-yard long
enough to correct various defects which
his intimate connection with the YES
sci convinces him imperatively need
correction.
1t was decided at to-day's conference.
which lasted over an hour. that the
ship should remain at Brooklyn at least
thirty days, that new air compressors
should be installed to operate the hyd-
raulic turret, turning and steering ap-
paratus, which has 50 far fallen alto
gether below expectations, because the
air pressure ''cushioning" the water
power was uncertain.
While this and other work is going on
Constructor Bowles, who built the shin
is to seize the opportunity to put a lot
of bracing and stiffening into the
frames and make an attempt to patch
up the alleged tight doors, which
were SO instrumental in sinking the
ship recently.
Capt. Glass is still here calling the
attention of the bureau chiefs to other
desirable safeguards against collapse
and disaster. which he hopes may be
done simultaneously with the other
work.

NORFOLK VS.. PORTSMOUTH.
Referee Marshal Decides the Game to
hc n Tie

Norfolk and Portsmouth met on the
gridiron at League Park yesterday and
contested hotly for victory. With one
or two brilliant exceptions the home
team did not play up to its standard,
and the visitors reveloped more strength
than was expected. Owing to the fact
that the management of the two teams
were not sufficiently accommodating to
furnish any facilities whatever for the
press the game is not given in detail
No score was made in the first half. and
in the second the ball was carried al
most to Norfok's goal line, though
Portsmouth had 1t and was passed to
Hughes. The visitors claim that
Hughes fumbled 1t, causing 1t to bounce
over the line, causing touch back
Norfolk claims that the ball was pushed
over, making a safety and scoring two
last half, decided that 1t was n touch
back, which decision makes the game a
tie, with score of 0 to 0.
In the last play that was made Saun-
ders Taylor. whose work had been the
feature of the game, was thrown in a
tackle and rendered unconscious. His
chin was badly cut and he had to be
carried home, where a physician was
summoned. His injuries are not con-
sidered serious, though painful Lang
horne, Portsmouth's half back, was hurt
painfully, but his collar bone was not
broken as at first thought.
One incident which created considera-
BILE excitement occurred near the mid
die of the second half, when a crowd
broke through wires at Norfolk's goal.
Several officers attempted to get the
men to move back and one boy, John
Penett, from the other side, was put
out. According to n number of Ports
mouth people he was kicked by an Off
cer against whom charges will proba-
bly, be lodged in the Police Board.

meeting of the State Committee, as has
been intimatcd by his oppohents in the
State, who assert that should he do SO,
he would inevitably be downod by the
combinations that have been formed
against him in that body, and probably
voted out of the committee into the bar
