Policeman Michael Joseph Flynn was the
only bright spot in the Police Court today.
Flynn was without question proud of his
floral decoration. and he raraded the cor
ridor over which he is reigning monarch
with q broad smile overspreading his coun-
tenance.
"'Tis q token Of esteem from me old SOL
der friend. McClelland," explained Flynn,
when the rose was admired "You remem-
Der me old friend, McClclland-Col. Nc
Clelland he is-and his name stands forth
brightly on the pages of history. The

the unusually short line of prisoners, an
swered mot guilty" to a charge of va
grancy. 1t was developed that Burgee has
been out of jail but two days, and the
court held that, in view thereof, the accu-
sation of vagrancy would not stand. The
Information was changed to disorderly con-
duct, and the testimony was to the effect
that Burgee Is a constant terror to his
family and other people. Thirty days was
the sentence
Thomas Wood, small colored boy, was
arrested yesterday for throwing missiles
On the way to the patrol box his mother,
Annie Wood. interfered and attempted to
get the boy from the grasp of the police
1Ean, and as a result she also was taken
to the station. Judge Kimball fined the
boy IS and let the mother off with lecture
on the folly of interfering with policemen.
William Bradshaw, an old white man,
was found asleep last night in a car in the
freight yard on Maryland avenue south,
west. Vagrancy was the charge, and Brad
shaw repeated the story so often heard In
the Police Court. He Is without home,
friends or money, he said although he has
lived here for the past thirty-two years.
Judge Kimball gave Bradshaw order
for accommodations at the workhouse for
the next sixty days.
Arthur Vincent and William Chambers,
colored, were arrested for alleged Dartici-
patton yesterday in a crap game in Fenton

her part was brought out on cross-exam-
ination and the case was dismissed.
Charles King, Arthur Welsh and William
Bowman, trio Of colored youths, were ar
rested at an early hour this morning, and
they faced the court with the accusation OF
vagrancy staring them in the face A case
of larceny against the boys was clearly es-
tablished, and the court gave each of the
three ninety days in JAIL in default of $10C
bonds.

BRYAN AND SILVER.
They Are Themes of Earnest Criticism
by Republicans.

A large and enthusiastic attendance at
the meeting Of the Mckinley and Hobart
Club held last night at the Globe building
was treated to some political speech-mak-
ing of the old-time sort. First Vice Presi-
dent Middleton presided, with W.'Q. Lowd
as secretary, and after forty-nine new
members had been elected a special COM
mittee reported that Mr.. B. H. Warner had
been notified of his election as second vice
president Of the club.
Mr. Warner, who was present. was es-
corted to the chair, and was greeted with
much applause. He declared that the agi-
tation in favor of silver had been COM
mer rced solely by the men who were inter-
ested in the production Of the metal, and
who had already managed to obtain favor
able legislation in its behalf. which had
cost the government five hundred million
dollars. A further recognition of the pro-
duct he declared, would be solely to the
interests of the mine owners. All enlight-
ened nations, he said, had perceived the
dlsa astrous accompaniments OF silver pol
icy ard had deserted it in order to pro-
mote their own prosperity. He character
lied the Chicago Platform as vicious, and
said that Mr.. Bryan's Interpretation of
Washington's farewell address was an at
tempt to connect the views of the pigmy
and those Of the greatest Of American
patriots, and said it was no wonder that
the elements came down to put an end to
such Misrepresentation. He also attack
ed Mr.. Bryan for his criticism of the pres
ent administrati ton, and praised Mr.. Cleve-
land and a E1apority of the cabinet for
the determined stand they had taken
against being led away from the principles
of sound finance. on which the minds of
the best men of all parties were a unit.
Judge John J. Weed followed Mr.. Warner
in severe attack upon Mr.. Bryan and
those who agree with him, whom he char
acterized as "vagabonds and hoOdlums"
who were attempting to lead the American
people to 1epudiatio and disaster. Speech
es were also made by Mr. c. G. Hensey and
Daniel Remy Of Pennsylvania. Mr.. Remy
made a lengthy address, which inspired
great enthusiasm among his hearers. He
| declared that under Harrison and the Nc
Kirley bill the country had enjoyed the
most prosperous time in its history. The
democrats had declared that everything
was too high in price and undertook to
| cheaper them to the ruination of the farm
| ers and now they came along with the
| propc sition to make them dearer with a
| fifty-cent dollar. After passage of reso-
| lutions dencuncing the report that the Dis
| trict republicans had intended making
| trouble at the Bryan meeting last Satur-
day the meeting adjourned.

Claiming Some Chicago Lake Front.

Commissioner Lamoreux gave a hearing
yesterday to the application Of Henry NJ.
Lafollette and Matthias Benner for the
right to locate 100 acres of land on the
lake front in Chicago. The question is
whether the land in question is in the pub
lie domain and whether Benner and Lafo-
lette are first corners. The hetring was ex-
parte, no opposing claim being Urged. The
applicants want to pay for the land within
Mckee scrip, which cost them $4,000 for
the quarter section. 1t seems likely that
the claim will be allowed.

Work on Suburban Roads.
1T Is a fact well known to every paver
in the District that all curbing and paving
on suburban roads has been Illegally done
by contract
THE PAYERS respectfully submit the fol-
lowing contracts, their location and the
| rame of the contractor whose cases they
can prove to be true as charged: In the
fall of 1894, Columbia road between Con-
necticut avenue and 10th street, William
Collins, contractor, inspector and District
foreman; summer Of 1895. Bacon street
between 18th and 14th streets. Charles
Ats. contractor: fall Of 1895. 7th street
road from schuetzen Park lane to Rock
Creek Church road William Moore con-
tractor for curbing, Charles Ats. contrac-
tor for sidewalk and cutters; spring of
1896, River ros from Tenleytown pike
west about 100 va. Is. William Collins, con-
tractor, and at the present time Yale street
between 18th and 14th streets, William
Moore, contractor.
Now, as these names have no signifi-
cance to the uninitiated. the PAYERS beg
leave to explain: George Beall Is superin-
tendent Of county roads, Henry Collins Is
assistant superintendent, William Collins
is Hehry's brother and Charles Ats is their
brother-in-law.
