BROKE Up THE MEETING
Skeetcr johnson Assaulted the Presi.
dent and Sergeant-at-Armx,

Skeetcr johnson Assn ulted the Pres5
dent and Sergeant-at-Arms,
George Johnson, alias "Skeeter' johnson.
a young colored man who is well known
in South Washington, both to the police
and large circle Of acauaintances. who
fear him, caused a postponement in the
Mckinley Club meeting last night. Lewis
Willis Is president of the club, while Thigh
man Dorsey is Sergeant-at-arms and lanes
w. Poe is one of the members of the club.
The fact that the election has been held
has not had the effect of closing the busi-
ness of the club. The club has seven mem
bers. so 1t was stated in the Police Court
today when "Skeeter" johnson was called
upon to explain why he had made an e.
fort to disable the president and sergeant
alarms.
One of the members thought tha,
"Skeeter" had razor and he was afraid
or being too deeply barberized. On the
other hand, one of them thought he had a
voiver." and said he could see it glisten-
ihE against the gas light. As a matter CT
fact Skeeter" only had small knife,
and this was taken from him by Policemen
Muller and Curry. VINO arrested him on
the street where the trouble happened.
According to the claims made against
him. Skeeter" wanted to act as the clu J. 8
fnancia. secretary, for he thought there
might possibly be some money to handle,
aithoIgh there was no reason why the
club should be under expense, for the meet
ings were held in private houses.
His first assault was made on Pres-
dent Lewis Willis, and when he ran the
policemen caught him. Then 1t was that
Tilghman Dorsey had something to say,
and for which he felt the weight OF
''Skeeter' s" fist against his face. This hap
pened while he was in custody, and when
Dorsey got in the patrol wagon to enjoy
a ride to the police station johnson at
tempted to repeat what he had already
done to him.
If ''skeeter" had really made an effort
for recognition as the financial secretary
of the club he had forgotten it. He had
taken a few drinks and said he had Of
fered to treat Willis to drink, but when
the latter attempted to ring Dorsey In for
drink he objected. So far as the as
sault on Dorsey was concerned Re ad-
mitted his guilt, but denied that he had
touched Willis. Denials of the prisoners
statement about treating were heard, and
the court fined Johnson SO in each case.

Appointment of Court Officials.

Referring TO the published report that
Marshal Wilson is endeavoring to control
the appointment of the criers of the Dis
trict Supreme Court. Marshal Wilson stated
TO Star reporter today there is no truth
whatever in the story. The marshal said
he has at no time attempted to secure con-
troll of the appointment of such court Of
ficials. and has no desire or intention of
disturbing the present mode of their ap-
pointment. which is by the District Supreme
Court.
Marshal Wilson last May wrote to the
civil service commission. asking to be in
formed whether the employees of his office
are embraced under the civil service rules
and regulations. That letter. as has been
stated In The Star, was referred to the At
torney General for an opinion. No reply to
II has yet been received by the marshal
from the civil service commission. and the
marshal does not even know whether the
Attorney General has or has not reported
TO the commission in the matter
The criers were mentioned in the mar
shafs letter. but only because they are
paid out OF the court house appropriation.

PRACTICAL CHARITY.

Concert for the Home for Unemployed
WOrkmen.
The concert which is to be given this
evening at the Church of Our Father, cor
ner 18th and L streets, for the beneht OF
the Temporary Home for Unemployed
Workmen, promises to be decided artistic
success. and the friends Of this worthy
charity hope that 1t will be equally sue
cessful from a financial point of view
TIE following wcll-known ladies and gen.
tlemen have generously volunteered their
services for the OCCASION Miss Alice E.
Burbage, Miss Julia A. Seaman. Miss
Mamie Donnelly. Miss Florence Henri
King, Mr. VIM. H. Conley. DR.. E. G. Sci
bert, Prof Bischoff and Mrs. Browning.
The home was established during the
blizzard of February, 1885, During the first
year it furnished $3.50 lodgings and II. 7SS
meals to homeless men. 1t has been sup
ported entirely by contributions from pri-
vate parties, with the generous assistance
Of the Society of st. Vincent de Paul, and
this is the first time an appeal has ever
been made to the public for aid.
In the first annual report of the workings
Of the home appears the following:
I'VE have pounds to shelter and feed
stray animals. public and private schools

jured, prisons for the law-breakers homes
for the aged, asylums for the orphans, the
deaf, the dumb, the blind and the insane,
but no place of refuge for the discharged
prisoner or the ragged. half-starved out
cast, who. If he begs in the street for
few pennies with which to procure shelter
or food, is at once arrested, imprisoned
and condemned to work out his sentence in
the chain gang. Under such circumstances,
what are these unfortunates to do? The
only alternative left them is to steal, to
starve or to commit self-destruction.
THE need of a practical plan for the per-
manent benefit Of this class of men has
long been felt by our people, and particu-
larly so by all those engaged in reform
work in the prisons, hospitals and other
| institutions Of our city, who realize that
the good results which might reasonably
be expected from their arduous labors in
these institutions fall far short of public
expectation. But this result is not to be
wondered at when We take into considera-
ton the fact that the good work begun in
prison or elsewhere among these people
must terminate upon their discharge from
such institutions, owing to the lack of
suitable places of immediate shelter, where
the timely assistance, so absolutely neces-
sary to the successful completion of the
good work already begun, may be carried
on and the subject prepared to face the
world again as a law-abiding and self-re-
specting citizen"
