in his conduct that she had her other son,

was charged with being a vagrant, because
Of his habitual drunkenness. His brother
related story of his profligacy TO his
honor, and said John could not keep away
from liquor.
His appetite seems To be hopeless de-
clared the witness

MAGISTRATES LAW DEFECTIVE.
Judge Cole Says Sureties Cannot
BE Held on Appeal.


Be Held on Appeal.
mistake in the law under which magis-
trates courts are run in Washington was
brought to light yesterday in Judge Cole S
court. 1t was ON a point made by Mr..
Jackson II. RalstOn to protect his clients,
Baker 4 Co, of Baltimore, and was a good
deal of a surprise to the other side.
Baker & Co. brought replevin suit for
goods worth about S135 against Walter
A Johnson and won in the Justices court
Mr.. johnson carried the case to Judge
Cole, and there, upon 4 technically, the
magistrates decision was reversed Mr.
ID. W. Baker, who was Mr.. Juhnson's at
torney. asked for judgment for costs.
Against this demand Mr.. Ralston made
the point that the surety for costs in the
magistrates court could not be held In the
District supreme court. Mr.. Baker pro-
tested that this was manifest injustice;
that there was no provision in the law for
any other suretIes than those given before
the magistrate, and under such an inter
probation of the statute there never could
be any surety for costs in such case when
brought to the supreme court.
This is very true, answered Judge Cole.
ut is plain injustice, but is exactly the
way the law reads. 1t ought TO be changed
But that is the business of Congress MY
duties are not legislative, When the law
governing magistrates courts was made
two years ago there seems to have been
just an oversight in this natter
1t is probable than an amendment will
soon be made by Congress to correct the
defect.

Ten Dollars a Pitch.

Dean Matthews broke club over the
head Of Louisa Adams the last day of the
OLD year, according TO her testimony be-
fore Judge Miller this morning. Dean. how
ever, said that gaping wound in Louisa S
Uranium was the result OF his pitching her
out OF his house pretty rapid"
His honor concluded that the rapidity
was unquestiouabe. LO1isa was asked why
she went to Dean house.
"Jedge, yer auner,' said Louisa, Il went
TO de house to collec' a bill Of 8 o cents. Mr..
Matthews see me in de parlor, and he say,
Git away, and befo' had time TO git away
lie struck me three times and 1 fell fiat,
yer auner, every time he struck me. Then
he broke stick over my haid-see dere,
jedge,' and Louisa proceeded to show a
deep ravine OF bruises in tile midst of her
heavy forest of tresses.
THAT wound was never caused by fall
ing" said the court; unless Matthews
picked you up bodily and thrust you head
foremost to the ground. Step up here.

TWO LICENSES HELD UP.
j. j. Reed and John +. Clark'> Cases
Argued Before the Board.

Argued Before the board.
The excise board heard two applicants
for license TINS morning who had been
cited to show cause why their renewals
should not he denied.
]. ] Reed. No. 1900 NJ street, who had
kept his bar open for ten minutes beyond
the midnight hour on election night, cx-
planned that while his own clock did not
SO indicate. he had pleaded guilty to the
| charge in the police court and paid fine,
rather than get into a dispute with the POI
lice officer WHO reported him.
There was also protest against Mr..
Reed, signed by J. F. Lerch, of No 1852
Massachusetts avenue, member of the
Metropolitan Club.
Mr.. LeeCh charged that there were
grave disorders in Reeds saloon, indud-
ing fights and rows. which seriously inter
fered with the business OF the firm located
across the street from the saloon, which
was engaged to furnish the Golf Club with
transportation, and operated as well to
prevent the members Of the club from
taking the conveyances from that corner.
Mr.. Frank 7 Madigan, counsel for Mr..
Reed, had his client present, and in add
ton to his personal statement filed for him
a written defense.
Mr.. Reed contcnled he should not be held
responsible for tile street disorders. and
denied that they originate in his saloon. If
thev ever occurred there, rs stated, Mr..
Reed thinks the police would have known
il. and no fault from that source has ever
been recorded against him.
Mr. Madiigan also filed letter from the
livery firm mentioned by Mr.. Leech, in
which the statement was made that no
coInplaint had ever been entered by them
against Reeds restaurant, and that his
business did not Interfere with theirs. The
board withheld its decision.
The charges against John I. Clark. Of No
lO22 Seventh street southwest, arc suffi-
GENTLY set forth in his answer filed by his
attorney, John A. Clark. He first assured
the board that there were no charges of
a serious character against him, except as
to occasional excessive drinking, and that
the lieutenant of police had made favor
able report upon his place.
He had been sufficiently punished for
troubles with his wife, nc thought, 10y the
newspaper publications Of the affair. The
killing of Abe Fitzhugh by Clark was also
n matter that should not be brought into
the matter of license renewal, since he had
been exonerated from all blame for that
trouble.
There is also pending in court against
Clark a charge of shooting with intent
to kill, but hegclaims he was innocent Of
criminal intent, and wound up by filing
with the board a pledge which he had just
taken to abstaia from the use ofintoxieating
liquors for one year.
The board took the matter under adj
yisement.
