me- said the wife, as she stepped on the

'And then what happened?" asked the
court.
Il told him 1 was going out unless he
killed me-
Frances said they had the trouble be-
cause she objected to his upsetting things
in her trunk.
Judge, your honor" said William, II
never put the weight of my hand on my
wife"
Was her eye black, as she says it was?'
Judge Kimball inquired
''It always looks a. little black" was his

LOCAL BATHING BEACH.
Estimates Submitted for It's Main
tenance and Improvement.


The following estimates for the main
bathing beach for the fiscal year of 1900
have been submitted to the District Com
missoners by the advisory committee in
trusted by the Commissioners with the
management of the beach:
One superintendent for the entire year
$500; two life guards, at s. per day each for
LOO days, 500; two lifeguards, at 81 each for
100 days, 500; one check clerk, at 81 % per
day for 100 days, s125; one suit clerk, at 75
cents per day, SIS; one laundress, at 20
cents per day, $i5; two key boys, at 75
cents per day each, $3.50; one key boy. at
30 cents per day, $50: 1000 cubic yards of
sand at % cents per cubic yard and placing
same, 500; sodding and grading terrace
placing water tank and fixtures, sewer sys-
tenn. additional bath houses and improve
ments. repairs, supplies, and miscellaneous
expenses, 81 SO; making a total of $1,000
These estima teS,' the committee eX-
plains, represent the maximum personnel
which we regard necessary to conduct the
peach during the next season with an at
tendance of 1900 bathers. Much must be
lett to the judgment of the superin endent
in arranging for the most economical dis
moderate one"
The estimate for sand" further explains
the committee, ''contemplates the covering
of the bottom of the beach with sand TO a
depth of water of eight feet at low tide
The amount asked for by the advisory
maintenance of the old beach, and does not
include any appropriation for the new
beach, which it is hoped will be established
within several years at the foot of 17th
street northwest. An entirely separate ap-
preparation will have to be made for that
DurDOSe.'

SEEK AN INJUNCTION.
Action Against Capital Traction for
Discontinuance of n Suit.

The Southern Street Railway Advertis-
ing Company and the Fidelity and Deposit
Company of Maryland have entered suit
against the Capital Traction Company.
praying an injunction to- restrain the de
fendant from prosecuting a suit-at-law
against the complainants to recover on a
bond for an alleged breach of contract on
the part of the advertising company. 1t is
set forth that in December. 1895. a con-
tract was entered into between the Can
ital Traction Company and Michael Wine
burg. by which the latter was given the
right for term of seven years 10 place adj
vertisements in all of the companys cars
In consideration of an annual rental Of
10000, to be paid in monthly instalments
of SS33.33 This contract was subsequently,
transferred TO the complainant advertising
company.
1897, the central power station and a num-
ber of cars of the defendant company were
destroyed by fire, on account of which dis
aster the number of cars operated was re-
duced from about 26T to about 1870 cars.
AS the advertising contract was based upon
the number of cars in use before this time
the complainant protested that il was no
longer bound by the same or to pay SS,{3 2:I
every month. The justice of this protest,
it is alleged. was fully admitted and acqui-
esced in by the defendant, and December
!, 1897. conference was held between
President Dunlop of the traction company
and Charles l.. Birmingham of the adver-
tising company and new agreement was
made orally, by which the amount OF rental
was reduced to s515.36 each month.
The defendant, having substituted cleo
tricity for cable power, notified the adver-
tising company that, beginning May l. the
amount of the original contract would be
insisted upon. 1t is alleged that the com
pany is now operating but about l40 cars,
and that the new trailer cars contain less
advertising space than those in use when
the contract was made. The advertising
n hot arz1 fs,,y a.
iy into bond January i, which recited the
terms of the first contract and contained no
mention of the oral agreement. Upon this
bond 1t was sued. as was also the surety
company the Fidelity and Deposit Company
OF Maryland. the action being for three
monthly installments.
The complainants allege that If the de-
PENDANT is not restrained from prosecuting
this action they will not only be prevented
by reason of the character of the instrument
sued on, from making their defense but
they Will also be harrassed and annoyed by
multiplicity of suits and will be subjected
to great expense.

PERSONAL BONDS TAKEN.
Sequel to Disturbance of Tuesday :,
Bradley School

The trouble which occurred ,ruesdar in
| the Bradley School building, South Wash
| ington was discussed in the Police Court
| this morning, coming up on the trial Of o
| charge of assault preferred against Albert
Adams by Principal Johnson. Adams is a
| sailor on the L. S. s. Scindia and he re-
! Gently returned home from cruise In Gu
ban waters. His brother, Luke Adams had
| his face injured during the panic in the
| school and the sailor went to the building
and called Mr.. Johnson to account During
| his conversation the sailor raised his
| clenched fist and used alleged threatening
language, but did not strike blow.
| Principal Johnson testified that it was
absolutely necessary for him to punish
some of the boys when the disturbance in
the school occurred, and some of them he
said, went out and brought in their moth
ers and fathers Among those who return
ed, he said, were many who had no interest
in the affair The defendant was in the
crowd and he approached witness with his
fist clenched.
Il want to put my fist In your face
Adams said to him.
Was Adams near enough to you to have
struck you?" asked the court.
Yes, sir" was Principal Johnsons an
swer
Did he strike your"
mo, sir answered witness. HE was
restrained"
Witness said that when he was taken
his threatening language, and said he had
something in store for him.
Miss Martin, one of the teachers in the
building, told the court she saw Adams
| with his fist raised, but she saw him make
no effort to strike a blow.
The defendant denied that he intended to
assault Mr.. Johnson. He went to the school
| when his brother came home injured and
| told Mr. Johnson If he (Johnson) hit his
| brother again he (Adams) would strike
him. Adams said he asked Mr. johnson
| why he had struck his brother, but he re-
ceived no response. He then asked WHY
| he had not sent the boy home, so that his
| mother could correct him.
The defendant, in answer to the court g
| inquiries said he did not intend to strike
Mr. Johnson. as he did not want to disturb
| the school.
According to the newspaper accounts"
remarked the court, II think the school
was pretty we'll disturbed"
Miss Mary Strcebel teacher of John
| Adams the injured boy, said the substance
| of the sailors remark was. ''If you mash
my brothers jaw I'll break yours"
Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny said that
the assault charged was an extremely
| technical one, and there seemed to have
| been some aggrapation. There Is no dis
position on the part Of the prosecution to
| have penalty imposed and he suggested
| that the court take the personal bonds of
| the defendant The court adopted the pros
| ecutors suggestion, and Adams gave his
| personal bonds.
| Mr.. Barnard, one of the school trustees
| and Supervising Principal Fairbrother were
present at the hearing.
