james related romanticle gcnd OF aaving
a position with the Western Uni IN Telc-
graph Company, which he said paid Rim
exactly $3.50 per month, and in tell
ing it he seemed to relish the sO-cent end
of his tale. Childs was delighted at
having such patron, and for five days
James was the star boarder, lording it
over the other dodgers, who sit up at nights
now, rejoicing at Morrison's downfall.
Childs discovered James was deceiving
him, and had him arrested as suspicious
character.
He told Judge Kimball how he had
catered to the wants OF the prisoner, VINO
had treated him so meanly.
..He had TO- meals day." said Chills,

Charles Asher, the colored boy suspected
OF trying to rob a lady of her pocketbook
in the Cen..r Markes last week, as has been
related in The Times, was given the full
limit of the law today as a suspicious per-
son. 1t was impossible to get the wit
nesses against him who wv him with his
hand in the woman's pocket, but there was
plenty of evidence to convict him on the
other charge, and the Judge gave him six
months in the workhouse.

TO make any excuses for Mr.. Moten either

her severely for not being in he'd.

while the three were curslng each other
the police arrived and locked them up.
Solomon was very gallant when Judge

From small beginnings great things have
their origin. This rule worked without fric-
ton in the case of larceny of a box of
candy by colored boy from a wagon be-
longing to, and standing in front of, the
store of Claggett RiZon, on l street, be-
tween Four and a-half and Sixth streets,
last Saturday. The boy, on swiping the
box, was alarmed by the undue activity
of the element of fear in his composition,
and ran straight into the protecting arms of
an approaching officer.
The stalwart patrolman started to put
the little fellow in his ovcrcoat pocket and
carry him to the station house. George
Greene and John Banks, unwilling to per-
nit a reduction in the limited population Of
useful citizens, heavcd to and bore down
upon the officer with all sails spread. But
when a ship strikes rock it is the ship
and not the rock that suffers, and it so
proved in the case of Greene and Banks.
Their efforts looking to the release of the
boy were frustrated, and they were placed
under arrest.
This morning they appeared before Judge
Miller to answer 10 the charge of assault
ing an officer. According to the testi-
mony adduced it appeared that Greene is
slow TO anger and that the Potomac water
is no purer than was his motive in at
tempting to restore the youthful mis-
creant. He avcrrcd that If he had sue
ceeded he would have placed the 10y in

surface of the sole of her leather furni-
ture before restoring him to the erms of
his father. Banks statement applied the
same excellent character and motives to
himself. Twenty dollars,

The air that affords the citizens of the
neighborhood Of Virginia avenue and First
street means of existence was violently
agitated yesterday evening by mighty
conflict between David H. Struthers and
Thomas Ewefi. The cause of the struggle
was the display of feeling attending an
interchange OF personalities on the wrong
side of the fence. In the midst of this oral
correspondence Officer Horton appeared
and requested tina they not only give the air
an opportunity to resume its normal leth
argy, but to leave the same to infuse energy
in other breasts than theirs.
The men acquiesced and accompanied
him to the station. His honor this morning
requested $25 from Strothers to initiate

NOT OUT OF EMPLOYMENT.

Young Niernsee lived with his family
at No. S13 Ninth street northwest in this
city. He has been employed as motorman
on the Washington, Alexandra and Mount
Vernon electric road since the line began
running to Washington last spring, and had
good record.
About { wo weeks ago his leave was grant
ed him and several days ago he went to
Baltimore, where his family formerly lived
and where he hadrnany friends, to spend
his vacation.
He was not discharged or suspended by
the company, and, contrary to first re
ports, had not been out OF employment, SO
that his friends can assign no motive for
his rash act.
The family here were overcome with grief
last night, when a telegram was received
saying that the yo0ng man was seriously
injured. His mother and sisters left for
Baltimore this morning on the O'Clock
train, and are expected to communicate
with friends here regarding the young
mans condition.
His friends were, disinclined at first re-
ports to obelieve thathe had made an attempt
to take his own life, as he was never known
to have carried pistol and was always
of q joyial disposition. He was unmar-
ried, and his friends are unable to account
for the fact that he was in distress for
want of money. He Is quite well known in
Washington, and well regarded.
