Obstreperous Nerroes-Tbe Wash

ObstreperOus NegrOes.-The WASH
ington Star of Monday evening relates the
following; e. b. Carr, farmer living at
Burtonsville, Montgomery county, Md, had
an encounter with two negroes Saturday
afternoon near Bladensburg, which might
have resulted seriously for him but for the
timely interference of Constable Vincent.
Carr was driving out from this city, and
had just entered narrow cut leading from
the main road at the Badensburg bridge to
the ford across the branch, when he saw the
negroes approaching him in a buggy
Knowing he could not turn around or pull
to one eide, on account of the high banks
on either side, Carr called to the men to wait
until he could gain the ford, where there
was ample room for the vehicles to pass.
The negroes paid no attention to Carr's
warning, but drove straight forward, until
the vehicles collded. The buggy occupied
by the colored men was badly smashed
The negroes became very much Infatuated,
and refused to allow Carr to resume his
journey until he had settled for the damage
to their buggy.
The constable arrived at this juncture,
and, learning the state of affairs, ordered
the men to permit Carr to proceed. One of
the men complied, but the other, Frank
Gallager, who works at Chspin's livery sta
BILE, this city, became very abusive. Vim.
cent then attempted to arrest him, and for
five minutes rough and tumble fight en-,
sued.
The constable finally got in a good blow
on his adversary's eye, and succeeded in
Handwriting him. Both men were covered
with mud, and the clothing of the constable
was badly damaged. Gallager was brought
before Justice Bailey and fined for disor-
derby conduct and resisting an officer.

ChiIdPen's Day-Children's Day was
observed last Sunday 10 the Germantown
Baptist church. The program, "The Con-
quering Cross" which was both entertain
ing and instructive, was so well rendered
that it was pronounced to have even sur
passed those of other years. The occasion
was strictly children's service. The prima-
~ department especially had the right OF
way, and noblY did the little ones recite and
sing. Mr.. Allen Bennett, the young and
efficient superintendent, has just cause to
feel elated at the success of this his first
Chidrens Service. Miss Sophia Davis, the
leading soprano Of the choir, the Misses
Martin and Prof Charles Hanshew, organ
ist, should be specially commended for the
time they devoted in training the children to
such degree of proficiency in their various
parts.
At the conclusion of the program, COL

Charged with Stealing The Wash
ington Post of Wednesday says. John Val
entine, conductor, and Benjamin Glen.
ents, a motorman, both employed on the
Glen Echo Electric Railroad, were arrested
Monday afternoon by Detective Frank Bur-
rows, OF the Seventh Precinct, charged with
stealing tickets belonging to the company.
Both men were given hearing yesterday
before Squire Austin, and held for the grand
jury, bonds being fixed at $500 for Valen-
tine and 800 for Clements. The latter was
released, his father becoming his surety, but
Valentine was committed to Jail In default
The police think that Valentine is the
principal in the theits, Clements being only
his accomplish, if he had anything at all to
do with it. Valentine was formerly en-
ployed in the Office of the company, which
Is in the power house, near the southern
terminus of the road, In Maryland. He was
familiar with the people employed in the
Office and the methods OF doing business
Some time ago the officers of the company
became convinced that tickets were being
stolen. Saturday man whom the officials
have not been able to locate was seen in the
city with large quantity OF tickets, which
he was offering at the rate of "a worth Tor
81. This was reported and Detective Bur-
rows notified. Supt. Armstrong went be-
fore Squire Austin and swore out war
rant, charging Valentine and Clements with
grand larceny and Detective Burrows placed
both men under arrest.
Valentine. after he was locked up, adj
mitted that he had taken several packages
of tickets from the Office. He entered the
office, he said, and seeing everybody busy
and the safe open, the temptation overcame
him and he grabbed a large bundle of them.
The railroad people are OF the opinion, how
ever, that Valentine entered the Office while
no one was there, and opened the safe by
working the combination, which he had
learned while employed there.
A great many packages of tickets have
been recovered from conductors on the road
and others to whom Valentine had sold
them. 1t is not known how many have
been disposed of yet, but it is thought that
the amount will be large. Clements dis
claimed any knowledge of the thelts, stating
that he only saw Valentine when he at
tempted to dispose of some of the plumber.
