AGED AND UNFORTUNATE.



Two aged men called on Sanitary Onicer
Frank this morning and asked to be sent
to hospital for treatment. They were
George w. Green, seventy years old, who
had roomed at No. 1917 E street north
west, and Nicholas O'Brien, seventy-one
years old, who lives at a lodging house on
Pennsylvania avenue. Each man had been
assaulted by unknown colored men, and
terribly beaten because they had no money
to give their sssailants. Green was as
saulted Sunday night in Virginia, near the
south end of the free bridge, while O'Brien
was held up" on the railroad near Balti-
E.ore and was thrown violently across the
tracks in addition to being beaten.
George w. Green is a plumber by trade,
but because of his advanced age he is un-
able to do any work. He came here from
well known. According to his statement,
he has no relatives here, and the only per-
sen whom he can call friend is a woman
VINO Keeps cheap lodging house. Sunday
afternoon, he says, he went across the
bridge for a little outing, and it was rather
late when he started home. Two colored
men met him near the bridge, he said, and
demanded money. He had only thirteen
cents in his pockets, and not caring to give
up all he had, he told his assailants he
had no funds.
He's got money" said one of the men,
and he's got to give up
Inc other colored man was evidently of
the same opinion, and the two then pro-
ceeded to chastise him for his refusal to
hand over his cash. Before he was rem
dered insensible the men were frightened
away. and their victim was left there on
the road in an apparently dying condition.
When his assailants had left him, the aged
man got up and started across the bridge
to his lodging house. His face was fright
fully discolored both eyes being blackened,
so that his acquaintance could hardly rec
ognize him. He was sent to Freedmen's
Hospital.
A few minutes after he left for the hos
pital OBrien appeared. Two of his ribs
had been fractured, and he was unable to
sit down. He travels about the country
between here and Baltimore and sells lead
pencils for a livelihood. Most of the rail-
road men know him, and he seldom ex-
periences any trouble in getting a free ride
on a passenger train in beating" a
freight. Last week he sold pencils in Bal
timore, but he did not do much business
and Sunday night he concluded to return
home. Going to the outskirts of the city
he stopped on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road tracks to await the arrival of a train
While there the two colored men came
along and demanded his money. His re-
fusal was met with abuse, and in addition
the men assaulted him. Two Baltimore
policemen had him sent to Johns Hcokins
Hospital, and this morning he was sent
mere. He is now under treatment in Proyi-
dence Hospital.

THE MARQUIS OF MICHIGAN-Heat,
in the abstract, or served up in Washing
toms usual disregard for mediocrity at any
point. even including an ambitious point Oh
the thermometer, has served at least to
test the qualities of our new and distin-
guished visitor at the Columbia, THE Mar
quis Of Michigan whose grace of manner
and ability to please won for him an in
terested and enthusiastic hearing on Mon
day night. 1t has also made manifest that
this gentleman is as versatile as he is pleas
ing, and that the usual endorsements and
slight delays attendant upon such appear
ances, due to nervousness. could be elimi-
mated more naturally and easily than with
which they had been interpolated. Robbed
of those hesi.ancies the play made it's ap-
pearance last night in its true form, show
ing at its best. 1t plainly demonstrated
that this comedy possesses all the qualities
OF success, beng aided and abetted by that
rare quality, refreshing originality and
more with that spirit and JUNCTION discov-
efing a novel sequence of comedy situa-
tons which should preclude the possibility
OF failure If the marquis does not attain
a continued series of successful debuts in
Our sister cities it will be because of the
gross negligence or errors of some one
other than those directly participating in
his presentation.
