Exciting Adventure on the Street
With q Suspicious Character.
Last night Detectives Rhodes, Helan and
Lacy had an exciting experience in South
Washington, when they made an effort to
arrest Robert Simns, a young colored man,
and Detective Rhodes came near losing his
life Simms is stranger in the city, and
last evening the detectives met him near
Sd and D streets, where they were looking
for thief. His suspicious conduct attract
ed their attention, and when Officer Rhodes
made an effort to arrest him, he drew a
pistol and fired one shot at the officer
The Iotter succeeded in lodging the bull
let, and Simms. with the smoking revolver
in his hand, made an effort to escape. De-
tecttve Lacy sent two bullets after him, but
he did not stop until he reached a saloon,
and then Lacy, pointing his pistol at him,
said: Drop your gun, or I'll kill you"
Simms then preferred arrest to death, and
SO he dropped his weapon and surrendered
When searched, gold watch and chain
and sum Of money in small coin were
taken from him.
Assault and concealed weapons were the
charges preferred against him, and when
called UPON to plead to them this morning,
he demanded jury trials.

New Use, for s4e bicycle.


Charles Close Of Dapbury, Conn, has dis
covered new use for the bicycle He is a
musician and has the ability not only to
play, but make almost any sort of musical
instrument. A short, time ago he made an
instrument that plays ten popular airs bet
ter than any hand organ heard here. Sfiu
the Danbury Yankee was not satisfied. He
found that before he had wound or ground
out half the tunes Of his wonderful music
box he had to stop to rest his aching arm
To overcome that unpleasant feature he
constructed a bicycle with driving wheel
in the place Of the usual rear wheel. The
machine was made stationary by placing
it in framework and elevating the fiy-
wheel from the floor. A fy-wheel on the
organ, connecting with the bicycle by a.
broad belt, did the rest. A day or two ago
Mr.. Close and his wife celebrated the III
teenth anniversary of their marriage, and
on that occasion Mr. Close entertained his
guests by mounting the seat of bicycle
and playing the whole repertoire of music
in his unique machine. The guests got
away alive.

AFFAIRS OF THE DISTRICT
The Controversy Over the Case of Con-
vention Hall,
Gen. Ordway Questions an Inspector's
AuthOrity@The AnalOstan
Island Site.

There is every reason to believe that the
lease between the District and Northern
Liberty Company for the use of Conven-
ton Hall as drill room for the National
Guard will be terminated in a few days.
1t will be recalled that the attention Of
the Commissioners was called to the fact
some time ago that the lease above men,
toned was being constantly violated. and
that the National Guard was being de-
prived of its drill room. An investigation
into the case disclosed sucn to be the facts.
and the auditor determined when the next
voucher for the use of the hall was pre-
scented to look further into the matter. Tie
voucher for the use of the hall for the
month of February came in II due season,
and Auditor Petty promptly held 1t up.
He has been quietly investigating the
matter for several days. and is convinced
that the terms of the lease have been vio-
lated. He will recommend that the lease
be Immediately terminated and a new one
made more advantageous to the District.
Yesterday an inspector visited the hall for
the purpose of acQuainting himself as 10
tie situation and Gen. Oidway promptly
wrote a letter to the Commissioners asking
by what right the inspector violated his
orders. The reply of the office, ii Is under

VIII doubtless report that the situation is
all that could be desired, but the amount
of money necessary to better the condi-
tons, such as retaining the marshes, AS
recommended in the report of the commit
tee, is not warranted by the state of the
Districts treasury. Even with such re-
port. the friends of the hospital and the

believe the necessary legislation can be
secured to get an appropriation sufficient TO
put the island and its surroundings in good
condition. The United States, it is claimed,
is interested in this matter. for i: is as
serted the malaria which rises from the
marshes has given Fort Myer the uaen-
viable reputation of being one of the I'M
healthiest military posts in the country
1t is just here that the advocates Of the
hospital hope to secure point. Already
number of prominent ladies have inter
ested themselves in the matter, and
number of Senators and Congressman have
declared themselves in favor of the prop
osition.

She Had Only Arms and Ammunition
Board of Her.

Oh Hoard of Her.
Acting Secretary Wike has directed the
release of the schooner Stephen j. Mallory
at Tampa, Fla, under certain conditions.
The Attorney General has given an opinion
that If the Mallory only had arms and am
munition aboard and no men in excess of
her crew, and no other evidence that she
was engaged in filibustering expedition,
she should not have been seized and should
not be detained any longer. than was neces-
sary to establish these points. In the alb
sence of detailed information on these
points, he suggests that the question of the
further detention of the Mallory be left to
the Judgment of the United States district
Attorney at Tampa, who has been investi-
eating the case. r-.,H ,..s IT, -
The customs collector al Tampa has le
ported to the Treasury Department that
the vessel carried arms and ammunition.
but no men except her crew. According to
the Attorney General this state of affairs
did not justify her Seizure under the law.
and 1t is expected that she will be released
at Cnce. The shipment of arms and am
munition TO Cuba on anywhere else is not
regarded as a violation of the neutrality
laws, inaSmuch as such shipment unac-
companied by an extra force of men is
not considered by the Attorney General
IAN armed expedition within the meaning
of the statute.
The action in the case of the Mallory is
the same was taken in the cases of the
Itata and the Bermuda and is based on
the same legal principles.

for the prisoner and took him before United

until Tuesday. when 1t is expected the
requisition will be there for him.
Speaking of his trip to a Star reporter
the detective said he was very much pleas
ed with the change of affairs in police
circles there. Detectives Eyanhoe and Daily,
who arrested Boston Charlie" he says.

more accommodating ana anxious to ap-
prehend thieves than they were before the
reform move made the change. While he
was there. he said, eighteen men were
brought in charged with being common
thieves, and sent to the island for six
months.
