GANG OF ToUGHs RA1DED.
Five Arrests Made Last Night Mt
Highland Station.

Highland Station.
Constable Charles w. Barr of Hyatts-
vile, Detective George Browning of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. and a posse
of eight citizens made a raid last night on
a gang of toughs which is in the habit of
assembling every Sunday night just before
the arrival of the owl train at Highland
station. Five Of the gang were captured,
but the others made good their escape.
For long time the residents Of High
lands have been greatly annoyed by the
loud cursing and swearing which takes
place at the station. 1t is alleged that the
men forming this gang go out from Wash
ington and spend the Sunday afternoon
and evenings on the grounds of the old
Stegmaier place, which is now closed. They
take their liquor with them and drink
freely of it, At late hour they repair to
the station and engage in shouting, scuf-
bears them away. Complaint has been
made several times, but no action taken
by the authorities until last night.
The officers and their deputies went to
the scene of the alleged disorder about 10
o'clock last evening. and when the crowd
made its appearance they started in to
make wholesale arrest, with the result
above stated. Two of the men escaped
with handouts on.
The five captives were brought to Hyatts-
vile and arraigned before Justice Carr
They are Walter Dorsey. Arthur f. Robin
son, Fred. Miller Charles c. Hesler and
Frank Mccarthy, all Of this city. Four
furnished collateral and were released, and
when the cases were called this morning
they failed to put in an appearance. Frank
Mccarthy. the fifth man. was fined 81 and
costs, the sum amounting to about $40,
which he paid.
This decisive action on the part of the
authorities will probably put an end to the
nuisance.

WISHED TO END TT ALL.
Mrs. Baker Caanmifs Suicide Because
Her Husband Drank.


Sarah A. Baker the wife of Thomas B.
Eaker. who resides in Maryland. jumped
from third-story window of the Hotel
Cato about 1880 Saturday evening,
and died from the effects of her injuries
about 2:30 yesterday afternoon at the
Emergency Hospital, where she was con-
veyed for Treatment Her husband, who
had been arrested by Policeman Kenney
at the time of the accident, was released
from custody early yesterday. the authori-
ties Concluding that he was in no way re-
sponsible. He was at his wife's bedside
when she died.
1t appears that Baker came to Washing
ton about threesweeks ago. and has been
stopping at the Cato House. Recently he
lost little son, and the death of the boy
greatly grieved him and his wife, and is
said to have caused Baker to leave his
home in Clayton, Hartford county, Md,
where ne owns farm. He is said to have
engaged in the sale of books here, and
Saturday his wife came to Washington.
she went to the hotel where her husband
was stopping, and found, it is said, that a
man named Swain was sharing the room
with him. 1t is claimed that the two men
were drinking Saturday evening, and ac-
cording to Bakers story corroborated by
that made by Mrs. Baker to the police and
TO Coroner Carr, she jumped from the WIN
deW while her husband was bidding his
friend goodnight at their room door. The
act was when her husband rushed into the
office on his way down from his room, cry
ing out that his wife had jumped from the
wiI dow.
Mrs. Baker was found lying on the stone
steps in the rear of the hotel, profusey
bleeding, but conscious. Before being sent
10 the hospital she declared she had jump
ed from the window, saying that her hus-
tand was not responsible for her act.
Baker appeared greatly distressed, but he
was arrested on suspicion and locked up at
the first precinct, while his wife was made
as comfortable as possible at the hospital.
Early yesterday morning the physicians
saw that she was in dying condition, and
Sergt. Acton and Policeman Lally took her
statement. She declared to them that her
husband had nothing to do with her fall,
ana later in the day she made similar
statement to Coroner Carr, telling him that
she jumped from the window with the pur-
pose of destroying herself. Her husband
drank, she said, and she wished to end it
all.
Baker was deeply affected, and is said to
have blamed himself
The coroner decided that an inquest
would not be necessary, and issued a GER
tificate of death by suicide. The remains
Will be sent to Clayton this afternoon,
where the funeral is expected to take place

LIME WAGON DEMOLISHED.
The Driver Attempts to Cross Electrf.
Railway Tracks,

ihe Dr1Ver Attempts to Cross Electric
Railway Tracks.
Passengers on en- electric car near Falls
Church were given an unpalatable dose of
lime Saturday afternoon. and considerable
excitement was occasioned as well. 4 man
seated in one-horse wagon, loaded with
lime. made an effort to drive over the rail-
way tracks at place other than a cross
iEg. The car was going at a rapid rate of
speed at the time, and the motorman had
no reason to imagine that the man was
going to cross at place where the tracks
were rough, and where there were bitches
on either side. But the driver made the
EFFORT end the car struck the wagon. The
breaking Of the shafts saved the horse,
but the wagon and driver were rolled over
ard over and the dense cloud of lime filled
the car.
1t was thought by the passengers that
when the lime cloud had cleared away
they would see the mangled body of the
driver on the tracks. but much to their
surprise the man got up and walked away,
after censuring the men on the car. He
was only slightly bruised.

EXCURSIONS.

Tomorrow the excursion of Metropolis
Lodge of Odd Fellows of this city and Poto-
mac Lodge of Alexandria will take place
at River View. This excursion was to have
taken place in July, but was, in conse-
quence of the bad weather, postponed I'M
til tomorrow, when tickets issued for the
June date will be good. The two lodges
expect to take down big crowds from
Washington and Alexandria, and the men,
bers are looking forward to the trip with
every expectation of having good time.
Besides the many attractions at the View,
splendid program for the entertainment
OF the visitors has been prepared and will
be found very amusing. Dancing will be
INDUCED in all day, and Chris Arth's Or
chestra will be heard In concert on all trips.
The steamer Pentz will leave her wharf at
10 am, and 6:45 pm, and Alexandria at
1920. 2:20 and 7:05 pm. The return trips
will be made at the usual hours.
The excursion of the Plattdutsche Verein
and the Arion Singing Society to River
View yesterday was grand success, for
during the day about 1000 persons visited
the resort and had a good time. In the
throng could be seen nearly every we'll
known German-American in Washington,
and. as usual, on these German excursions,
mirth and jollity was the order of the day.
The steamer Samuel ]. Pentz made four
trips to the View, leaving her wharf at IL
am, 2:45, 6:15 and $50 pm, and each
trip carried down large crowds. The sing
ing Of the German airs by the large chorus
from the various singing societies was
greatly enjoyed, and the musicians were all
warmly applauded. The chute and the
various attractions at the View were well
patronized, and mirth reigned supreme
from the arrival Of the first boat until the
last trip was made homeward, and all were
landed about 1920 o'clock. On next Sun
day, the last Sunday of the present excur-
sion season, the Columbia Turn Verein will
give Its second excursion of the season to
the View, the first having been so much of
a success.
AS the season grows older it seems as If
the crowds that journey to Marshal Hall
grow larger. Yesterday was one of the
heaviest days in travel on the boats that
has been known this year. But it is hardly
surprising when one thinks of all the at
fractions that are offered there. The best
drawing card of the day was the concert
by Schroeder's Band in the afternoon. 1t
alone brought hundreds of the guests to the
Hall. 1t VS. so delightfully."- cool and every
thing was so enjoyable that the day passed
away almost before one realized it. The
and the folks fairly took possession Of ev-
erything on the place. making themselves
at home as they saw fit. The people seem
to realize that before long these pleasant
Sunday trips will be over for the season,
and took advantage of the opportunity
while there was yet a chance. 1t is fact
there Is never a dull day spent at the Hall,
there always being something to pass the
Gay pleasantly. 1t was a fully satisfied par
ty that landed at the wharf on the return
OF the Manchester last night.

White Wings to Become n Factor in
Labor Ranks.
1t is very probable that the street sweep
ers will within a short time be enlisted in
the ranks of organized labor Several
weeks ago number Joined a federal labor
union, which was organized through the
efforts of Mr.. William Silver, the District
organizer for the Central Labor Union.
This body Is not distinctive craft organ
ization. being composed of those persons
whose calling is not organized.
While a number CT the swcepers allied
themselves with this organization, others
who desired to do so were fearful of a dis
charge If they identified themselves with
the union, as it was reported that Mr.. Dag
gett, who has the contract for the street
sweeping, was opposed to labor organiza-
tons. and apprehended trouble If his en-
ployes were organized. This question, it is
said. has been settled satisfactorily by all
concerned. Last Saturday evening Organ
izer Silver saw Mr.. Daggett in relation to
the matter, and. after the purposes of the
organization had been fully explained, Mr.
Daggett stated that he had no objection to
his men joining 1t, and that they were at
liberty TO do as they desired.
