Charged Discrimination.

Louis Rowser. an elderly colored man.
who has been feeding newsboys about the
newspaper offices and along B street in
the vicinity of the Center Market for about
fifteen years, was before the Police Court
this morning for an alleged obstruction of
the street with his perambulating hotel.
The old man is professional ''slap-iack''
cooker, and there is something about the
cooking of his food that makes it attract
i've to the boys. But Policeman Herndon
objected to his occupancy of the street in
this way. Rowser. on the other hand,
thought he had as much right there as the
clam men have to occupy another street
in the same neighborhood. Yesterday he
sat on box in the street and used another
box as a table. There he had his pot of
coffee. rolls. sausage and pastry and when
questioned by the court he said he thought
the officer Disseminated against him, for
he said there are push cart hotelkecpers
" no stand about there all day.
Il totes basket he said. and I'm the
only one who amt got a wagon cart"
He told the court that he has family to
cs re for including several grandchildren.
and the court took his personal bonds

COMMITTED SUICIDE.
4 Patient mt the Government Insane
Asylum Hangs Himself.

The dead BODY of Peter O'Neil. who was
regarded one of the most violent pa
tients in St. Elizabeth's asylum was found
hanging to the bars of the iron door of
his room yesterday morning.
Every precaution to prevent suicide on
the part Of the patient had been taken by
DIR. A. c. Patterson. the member of the
hospital staff in whose charge O'Neil Was,
but the man managed to hang himself by
making sort of rope of his handkerchief
ard SuSpenders, which he ia stoned around
his neck and to the door of the ROOM
The authorities of the asylum were much
astonished to receive a report of the sui
eide, O'Neil had never exhibited any
disposition to kill himself, although he
see med to have homicidal tendencies As
quickly as possible Coroner Hammett was
notified, and he visited the institution
where, after hearing all the evidence in
the case, he decided that an inquest was
unnecessary. and gave certificate that
the death was the result OF the mans own
act.
The relatives of O'Neil who live at New
Haven, Corn, have been notified of the
affair
ONeil was about twenty-four years old
and had been a patient at the asylum
since March D. 1875.
