PLACES IN THE COURTS.
An Unofficial Decision Puts Them
Outsid,. the CIussIried List.

A nice question in the civil service which
Attorney General Harmon is said to have
passed upon recently is the standing of the
employees of the courts in the District. 1t
is held by Some that they are in the ciasSi-
fled service under the civil service rules.
They are, II is contended. just as much a
part of the executive departme ntal force
as anybody IN the Attorney Generals of
flee.
Mr.. Harmon, on the other hand. it is said
has decided that these employees are in the
judiciary branch of the government, and, as
the Civil Service Commission, by the terms
OF The act creating it, has control only of the
offices in the executive branch, these III
more come under its rules than do the posi-
tiOns i'll the legislative branch, such as the
clerks of the House and Senate and the like
The positions that would be affected by
this decision are in the office OF the register
OF wills, recorder OF deeds, clerks OF th'
courts, United States marshal and distric
attorney. They have all been outside tn,
classified service till the wide extension
made on May last.

A most unusual and, if the allegations
prove true, most fIagrant case Of
cruelty to an animal, Will be tried IT,
morrow morning in Judge Kimbaifs po-
lice court.
This morning Special officer John Reip-
linger, of the Humane Society, served u
warrant upon Ben ia ann RoounoLse, a Ibeui-
cal student, twenty-two years OF age, who
resides at Seventeenth and streets north
west, charging MIN with cruelty torturing
a dog, by plunging a stiIettp several times

II is alleged by gent Reiphnger that on
Saturday afternoon bull terrier dog,
owned 10y Roodh ouse, and another canine,
half bull and half shepherd, engaged in a
fight on a vacantlot near Seventeenth andS
streets. The dogs, it appears. have had
several battles before. and there is Well
defined feud existing between them.
THEN THE FUR FLEW.
Mr.. Roodhouse mad his bun terrier out
for exercise Saturday, while he was riding
about ON his bicycle. Suddenly the bull
shepherd, which is owned by Mr. Thomas
Chesley, an attache Of the Southern Rail-
way Company, darted out from his house,
No. 1887 Seventeenth street northwest,
and made for the bull terrier.
The dogs, from all accounts, were en-
gagged in savage light, when Mr.. Rood
house dismOunted lfOm his wHecl ana tfletl
to separate the animals. He found them
cIinched, and says ChesIey's bull shepherd
had his teeth fastened in the flesh of the
other Being unable to pull them apart
Agent Reipnnger alleges, Mr.. RoOdhouse
drew stiietto-Iike knife and plunged the
blade into Mr.. Chesley's animal, first under
,,,. Inroat aud then twice into the canine 5
back.
This caused the bull shepherd TO relea Sc
his hold, and Mr.. Thomas Chesley picked
up the dog, covered with blood, and hur-
ried with the animal to the office Of Dr.
ID. E. Buckingham, veterinarian, at No.
211S Fourteenth street northwest.
HAS FIVE WITNESSES.
The dog was very weak, anG Reiplingcr
saws the surgeon found that the knife
blade had been turned after its burial
in the flesh.

bined Bands Practice Tomorrow.

The final touches OF preparation will be
put on the grand Fanciulli testimonial
concert to be held on Wednesday evening
ut the rehearsal tomorrow afternoon dt
3 u. III. at Convention Hall.
That this event will be the greatest
band concert ever held in Washington is
an assured fact and the whole city seems
TO be on the tip-toes OF expectation.
The fact that all seats are at popular
prices, 80 cents and 81, has made the ad-
vance sale very great. The affair is es-
senrialiy a popular one, SO that popular
prices are in order, and 90 cents will
reserve first class seat at Droop's,
Sanders & Stayman and Ellis music stores.
The program is remarkably strong
one including as soloists Mrs. Thomas c.
Moves, soprano; Dr. Merrill Hopkinson,
the well known Baltimore baritone; Mr..

WAS LEFT TO DIE.
A. J. Dearborn, President of the
Missouri State A. P. A., Brut-
ally Assaulted.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. IA. j.
Dearborn, state president of the A. P.
A.. was found lying in the street near his
home at O'Clock this morning, uncon-
scious from wounds inflicted by an as
yet unknown assailant. Besides being
badly battered about the head Dearborn
had suffered a stab wound. Dearborn
was evidently assaulted in the night
while going home.
At 9 o'clock Dearborn regained con-
sciousness long enough to relate the
manner of the attack. 1t appears that
he was assaulted at II o'clock last night
as he was returning home alone, the man
jumping out from dark alley and strik-
ing him on the forehead with blunt
instrument The blow sent him to the
ground, when the assailant, drawing d
dagger, stabbed the PROSTATE man three
times in the region of the heart. Sup
posedly dead, Dearborn was thrown over
the fence into an adjacent yard He
soon lost consciousness and was not dis
covered till early this morning, after
having laid in the wet grass for six
hours.
An examination Of his wounds showed
that the dagger stabs were not serious,
but that the blow on the head might re-
suit in conclusion of the brain and prove
fatal. Soon after relating the facts as
given, Dearborn lapsed into unconscious
ness without having given a description
believe that the purpose of the attack
was not robbery but was instigated by
some opposed TO the A. 2. A. doctrine
which Dearborn has so earnestly advO-
Gated. None of his money or yaluables
were missing.

Of the City Flooded.

Paris. Sept. 11.-Several OF the news
nanors estimate the number OF persons
injured during the windstorm yesterday
at $50. of whom forty are seriously nuI''
The Journal confirms the police STATE
riously injured as to be in danger OF los
mo their lives as q result Of accidents
incurred Yesterday during the cyclone. :,
A peciliar feature which characterized
this storm. making it resemble in that
respect the violence of the one when
burst upon Paris on July 70, was the
comparatively limited area IN when It's
full effects were felt. In the western
and northern parts of the city nothing
was heard Of the storm The rainfall
there was one of the greatest that has
been known in Paris for a long time,
but there was nothing remarkable ABOUT
the wind. Soon after the storm had
passed the air seemed to get clear, the
sky frightened and an hour later the
rain stopped.
From all parts of Paris came news OF
floods. At the Care Saint Lazare the
rain fell in such abundance that az me
cafes and hotels in front Of the station
were filled with water. The. cellars s., az
the Laboratory of Anatomy, in the Rue
Buffault were also inundated. Ihey
were cleared of the water by steam
pumps, similarly as the cellars flooded
in the Rue Malar, the Rue Jacob and the
Avenue de Clichy. In the Rue des
Danes and the Rue la Condamine horses
were up to their breasts in water.
In the quarter which surrounds the
Arc de Triomphe no serious damage
is reported. The cellars of numerous
houses were flooded by the rain. At al
most every hospital in Paris injured
persons have been received.
