WANTED A FIGHT.
Double Charges Against Some Young
Men.

Men.
Paul Crutchett, a white boy eighteen
years old. was arraigned before Judge
Kimbsll In the Police Court this morning
Oh a charge of disorderly con iuct in a
Pennsylvania avenue herdic, preferred by
one of the passengers. The complainant
testified that Crutchett and three COM
panions were boisterous and dsorderly in
the coach and became offensive when he
protested against their conduct. When the
complainant left the herdic at his destina-
ton the four young men. headed by Crut-
chett, followed him and tried to incite a
personal encounter. Crutcheu was arrest
ed at the corner OF Pennsylvania avenue
and 18th street and taken to station No. l,
where he remained until collateral was fur
nished later in the evening by his COM
panionS. Crutchett and the other boys
told their version of the story, but case
of diserderly conduct was made out, and
Judge Kimbali gave him lecture, dwell
ing especially on the necessity of protecting
passengers in public conveyances, particu-
larry the herdics. where the driver is pow
erless to preserve order He said that the
action of the boys in leaving the herdic in
the endeayor to pick fight, was repre-
Eensibie, and. after reprimanding the de-
fendant and his companions, he released
Crutchett on his personal bonds, after con-
sultins with the boys father and with the
Compl linant.
before they leIt the court room, however,
all four of the boys were rearrested and
taken back to station house No. !, on a
more serious charge. 1t was alleged that
last evening. while the three who were at
liberty We're endeavoring TO secure the re-
lease OF Crutchett, a man in the adjoining
CELL who had been arrested for being
drunk, gave to one Of the boys a valuable
ring, which. it is said. he asked to have
rawned in order that he might be given his
liberty. The charge is that the boys pawn
ed the ring and used the proceeds for the
release of Crutchett, in consequence of
which the gentleman spent the night in the
station house, minus his ring and his
money.

Faithful to the Pledge.

The spirit in which the Christian En-

by striking incident reported by the
pastor Of the young woman concerned.
She had been an active Christian En-
deavorer for TWO years when she was
stricken with fever and a short time ago
died Daring the last days of her i'll
ness, when too weak to hold her Bible,
the young woman asked her mother to
hold the book for her so that she could
sead portion from it each day. For -

could cheerfully have shaken her He
looked across at US, smiled and bowed, but
made no movement
The first dance began, and my pro-

l nodded, with three vacant places in
my programme staring me in the face.
II am awfully sorry l hadn't chance

word with him that evening.
