AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN
Happenings Of Interest on the Other Side Of
Rock Greek.
The Raid ON the Road Houses-En.
tering u Bar Sunday-Wife.
Beaten Sentenced.

Conduit road, whose places were raided
Sunday, as stated in The Star yesterday,
are extremely indignant over the matter.
An officer of the county in a part remote
from the scene Of the trouble was detailed
to make the raid, so 1t is stated. The hotel
men do not care SO much about this, but
they are anxious to ascertain the name of
the person who gave the information lead
ing to the raid. All day yesterday they
were endeavoring to find out, and they
came to the conclusion that very little
could be learned until the matter came be-
fore court. This is the status of the mat
ter at present. 1t is generally supposed,
however. that some of the members of the
Antl-SalOOn League in Washington Sc
cured the necessary information leading to
the arrest.
No Unusual Rainfall.
The cloudy and bad weather of the past
eight days has led many to believe that the
rainfall during the period has been alb
normal. Such, however, is not the case.
According to the measurements taken by
Prof. Burrows, the local observer of the
weather bureau at this place. the total
rainfall has been less than three inches
during the period. To be exact, the total
rainfall up to last evening was 2.08 inches;
the rainfall of last night and today hardly
swelled the total more than eight one-hun-
dredths of an inch. This would make it ap-
pear that in spite of the apparent condi-
ton of things the fall of rain has been
exceedingly light. and during the summer
season it frequently happens when two or
three heavy rains of comparatively short
duration will equal the same figures for
the past week or more.
Entering His Bar Sunday.
Michael ]. Hannah. who conducts a sa-
loon at 1923 10Th street. was arrested yes
terday by Policeman Connors upon a war
rant sworn out by Sergt. Williams, charg-
ing him with entering his bar on Sunday.
Not long ago the prisoner was arrested for
a similar offense by Sergt. Conlon. and in
the Police Court fine Of $50 was imposed,
which, however, was changed, and the
prisoner released on his personal bonds.
Hannah has only been. running the place
for short time, and at the station house
yesterday was released on 500 collateral.
He claims that the only way in which he
can reach his sleeping quarters is by pass
ing through the bar or by the rear part
Of the building. A jury trial was demanded
in the Police Court this morning.

Wife-Beater Sentenced.
Patrick Ready, white, aged twenty-nine
who lives near the corner of SD and S
streets. was arrested yesterday afternoon
by Policeman Harry Lehman, on a charge
of profanity. 1t seems that Ready and his
wife were having quarrel, and he was
beating the woman, so it is stated. The
officer appeared on the scene and placed
him under arrest. He resisted, and at
tempted to beat the officer using a billet
of wood, which was brought to the station
house to be used as evidence. In the Police
Court this morning the prisoner went down
to the workhouse for thirty days on the
profanity charge, and sixty days for the
assault on the policeman.
