CHARGED WITH BRUTALITY
Richard Craig Put on Trial for Mistreating
His Daughter.
The Child's Body q Mass of Bruises
Placed In tie Care of Board
of Guardian.

A case Of apparently gross cruelty. that
was a vivid reminder Of the records of the
dark ages and the inquistion period, was
brought to light today in the Police Court
when Richard Craig, colored. was arraign-
ed for assaulting his daughter. Mamie,
little girl about seven years of age.
The child's person was exhibited to the
court and the reporters. and 1t presented
condition almost inconceivabIy frightful
The entire body of the little one was a
solid mass of deep cuts, seams and welts.
inflicted, it YVES testified, by three switches,
each of the diameter of a mans finger.
who made you this way?" asked the
court of Mamie
MY father" was the answer.
why did he do it?' the court next in
quired.
Because I forgot to give the dog some
water" replied Mamie.
1t was stated that the mother of the
child is dead, and that she has step
mother. From the little girls story, her
father has been in the habit of maltreating
her in manner most brutal. He is well
known in Anacostia. being in the employ
of a prominent physician, and has always
borne an excellent reputation
The arrest was made by Policemen Rea-
gan and Owens, who had the condition of
the child brought to their attention. Sew
eral representatives Of the board of chill
dren's guardians took active part in
the proceedings.
Defendant Denies.
Craig. through his attorney. John Moss
of Hilsdale. Indignantly entered a plea OF
not guilty, and demanded a jury trial.
| Amid the almost hysterical protestations
| of Mr.. Moss Judge Kimball required Craig
| to furnish 500 bonds for his appearance
| or spend the time intervening till trial in
| jail The bonds had not been supplied III
| to A late hour this afternoon.
When the matter of the alleged assault
| had been disposed of motion was made
| the board of children's guardians. The
| action was opposed and resisted by Mos:
| with great vigor.
ut has not been shown that the father
| is not suitable person to have the care
| of the child" shouted the attorney.
Does Your honor mean to say that
| parent cannot correct his offspring? Why
| the Bible says: 'Chastise and thrash YOU
| children and
| you will OF find Thrash your children
anywhere in the Bible, Mr. Moss" inter
| rupted Judge Kimball.
Moss Triumphant.
That's right, your HONOR replied Moss
! after hesitating a moment 'but" he add
| ed, grandiloquently, knowingly and tri
| umphantly, you will find the word 'chas
| tity''
| Something in the way of general laugh
| ter followed this effusion from the recog
| nized sage of Hillsdale, but the proceed
| ings were then brought to a close Judg,
| kimball directing that Mamie be place,
| temporarily in the custody of the board @
| guardians.

QUEEN OF THE VAGs.
She Is in Hilarious Mood and Goes
Down to Sober Up.

most extraordinary incident was re-
corded today in the Police Court. Johanna
Quill was prisoner in the dock, but that
was nothing out Of the ordinary. The
striking feature Of the case was the
charge: 1t was not vagrancy, as was to be
expected, but destroying private property.
The information set forth that Johanna
smashed a door and lock at the residence
of Edward Shea, No. $50 Armory place. 1t
was intimated that she threatened to blow
up the entire neighborhood with dynamite.
The queen of the vags was in a hilarious
mood of exaggerated degree.
Il want ter talk to Judge Kimball," she
shouted, waving her arms in wild and
reckless manner.
That woman is not in a condition to be
tried now, remarked the court. Let the
case go over until tomorrow"
Johanna was escorted to the rear, where
she sang the melodies of the street until
loaded into van and sent down.

USE OF AQUEDUCT BRIDGE
The Commissioners Decide to Grant Rail.
roads the Privilege.
The Overhead Trolley to BE Permit
ted-COndemnatiOn Of NJ Street
Property Provided For.

The Commissioners have decided to
recommend to Congress the passage of a
bill which will permit the use Of the Aque-
duct bridge for railroad purposes. This
measure will be submitted to Congress dur
ing the present week, and Will provide
among other things, for an enlargement
of the bridge by the building of footways
on either side, the expenses thereof to be
borne by the railroad company using the
bridge.
The bridge will be further divided. and
the railroad tracks. which will occupy the
western portion, will be fenced off from
the carriageway Provision will be made in
the bill for the condemnation of certain
property on NJ street Immediately to the
west Of the present entrance of the bridge
for the use of the railroad company, ii
having been found inexpedient to allow the
railroad to cross the street to secure en-
trance to the union station.
Overhead Trolley Feature.
Another feature OF the bill is that whic h
permits the use of the overhead trolley.
The Commissioners do not believe that any
other construction on the bridge would be
applicable without entailing a very large
expense.
1t will be recalled that the Commits
sfoners last year were DESTROYS of utilizing
the bridge for railroad purposes. and their
scheTe contemplated the crossing of NJ
the railroad. This, however, has been con-
sidered not feasible, and the plan above sci
forth will be the one followed.

LONDON, Sept. 27,-The Vienna cor
respondent of the Daily Mall says this
morning;
"The duel between Count Badeni, the
Austrian premier, and Or. Wolff, the
German Nationalist leader, has caused
the widest sensation. 1t arose out OF
the riotous scenes at the opening OF the
ReIchsrath, when Conut Badeni. with
arms crossed and head on his breast,
listened unmoved by the clamor and
Eestlculations OF the German party
His attitude was most IRRITATING
The whole left formed a threatening
group around him, conspicuous among
them being the great, lean face OF
Wolff, as he pressed forward and thrust
his fist into Count Badent's face, say
ing: If this is your policy, II Is misera-
BILE chicanery,"
"some declare that Wolff called him a
Polish pig He was pulled back by HE
colleagues, but continuing uttering
menaces.
EARLY on Friday morning Count Ba-
denI sent his seconds to DR.. Wolff, who
accepted the challenge. The premier
sent telegram TO the emperor asking
permission TO fight the duel, and at the
same to me rendering his resignation.
In reply he received not only permission
to fight. but also the imperial approval.
At the first discharge the premier's
bullet struck the ground l5 feet from the
antagonist. The latter's ball struck
Count BadeRl In the right arm. He
staggered back TO his chair and was
then taken home, where the bullet was
extracted.
"There are no symptoms Of fever, and
Count Badent IL conducting affairs as
usual 1t Is thought that, as the pre-
rnler has set the example with the en-
peror's approval. there Will be a serious
epidemic OF duelllng.

Count BadeHi Is liable 10 Imprisonment
for from one to five years.

MADRID, Sept. 2s,-The arrival of
United States Mlnister woodford from
San Sebastian has made a sensation.
The programme OF the United States
has been ascertained.
This does not contemplate declara-
tion of war II Spain rejects mediation,
but according to report,sn OBSERVATIONS
proclamation to the world OF dlsappro-
val of the Cuban regime by suspendIng
diplomatic relations with Spain and
withdrawing the United States minis
ter"
General woodford has declined to be
interviewed on the subject further than
10 say that his conference with the
Duke OF Tetuan, the foreign minister
was OF the most satisfactory character.
The unexpected bitterness OF the press
and OF public opinion has painfully i'm
pressed him, but he hopes this will soon
be allayed, as he believes his mission
favorable to Spanish interests and can
not comprehend that Spain could reject
mediation designed to end an impover-
ishlng war He has not named time
at which the war must be terminated,
but he hopes, as the result OF hts ten
ders that II will be ended quickly. He
believes the war Is lnhicting incalcula-
bic loss upon the United States and that
It ls impossible to prevent the organiza-
tion OF flibusterlng expeditions.
Unusual measures were taken TO pro-
tect Minister woodford on hts Journey
from San Sebastian TO this city, but the
trip was quite uneventful. A party Of
gendarmes, commanded by sub-lieu-
tenant. guarded the southern express on
which he was passenger. Secret police
were posted AT the station, and the pre-
feet OF police was In waiting to escort
him to his hotel. The drive through the
streets was marked by no special incl
dent, though several saluted him, re-
celving bow In return.
Some comment has been caused by
the fact that Minister Woodtord's fam
Ily has not accompanied him, but re-
mained behind at the French frontier.
Minister woodford explains that his
party is large one, requiring commo-
dfous home. and prefers spending n
pleasant October at B:arritz until a
suitable residence can be secured here.
The legation cannot be used as resi-
dence. General wOodford has already
engaged a box at the Royal Opera
house and has purchased horses.
