What might have been a serious acct.
dent took place last Thursday night. Mr..
Edwards was driving Ssmuel Nichols
horse down to the village, when the BIT
broke and the horse started down the hill
on gallop. OF course Edwards had no
control over him, SO he jumped and
bruised himself considerably. The horse
continued to run, and came through the
village at q rate that would have done
credit to Nancy Hanks. He finally wheel
ed around, without upsetting the wagon,
and stopped under the company's shed.
The harness was somewhat broken, but
no other damage was done.

ington Asylum the District workhouse
and the almshouse Jared slightly better.
Superintendent Stoutenburgh arranged
bounteous repast for his charges. Turkey,
cranberry sauce, celery and other delica-
cies were spread on the hong tables in the
various departments on the aimshouse
reservation. The inmates of the aims
house differ in every possible respect from
those Of botn the Jail and the wOrkhouse
being only creatures of misfortune. Many
of the prisoners at the workhouse are
vagrants. and il ofttimes happens that
these. too, are more sinned against than
SHINING.
The great event of the day for these
charges was the dinner. The cooks and
their assistants, the latter being prison
ers themselves. were allowed the freedom
of the workhouse larder. They made the
most OF their opportunity. The proverbial
turkey was on hand. and all the rest of
the dishes which seem so necessary for
the proper celebration of the day Long
before dim dawn the cooks were busily
engaged preparing the feast, and while
this was going on members OF the aims
house and workhouse colony were whet-
ting their appetites. When the dishes were
ready to- be conveyed into the dining hall
there was a hurried hustle at the institu-
tion, and shortly afterwari the long pine
t.ibIts, ldutl, were surrounded
by the inmates. For the moment they
seemed TO forget their lot and with mar
velously good appetites plunged into the
pleasure OF the occasion. Dinner lasted a
long time. The rest of the day was spent
in the usual manner. The men at the
almshouse were supplied with pipes and
| tobacco at Government expense, and idled
the afternoon away in conversation tell
ing stories and recounting experiences,
some picturing more prosperous days In
the smoke curling upward from their
pipes.
Interesting tales were told of former
Christmases running backward through
several decades. in some instances to
the earlier days of the Republic. One Of
, the most interesting of the almshouse
| charges Is an old colored ''auntie." who
is now too feeble to enjoy much of life.
| She spent most of the day in her chair
| on the top floor of the almshouse build
| ing, in an old armchair placed in the
| hallway opposite the entrance to her
| apartment. Her exact age is not known
| Her mind is too nearly blank with the
weight of years to tell much, and she is
reputed to be more than a centenarian.
| She has been at the aimshouse about ten
| years. Before that time she was fixture
| at Freedmans Hospital, having been one
| of the wards of the Old Freedmans Bu-
] reaU. which was established by the Gov
| ernment and conducted under the super
vision of the War Department shortly
| after the close of the War of the Rebel
lion for the care of the fugitive and ailing
negroes who We're fleeing from the South
after the breaking up of the old planta-
tion system. The almshouse shelters
many charges like this. They have not
| always spent their Christmas as indi-
gents.

Twelve inches OF prison wall separated
The charges of Warden Harris at the
District Jail from the merriment OF Il
Christmas Sunday in 4 happy community
yesterday All day long the blare of the
small boys horn and the rattle of the
street car gong bespoke the general jolli-
fcation which was experienced by the
passing throng without. Within, the
monotony of restraint of liberty, made
all the more depressing by the strength
OF the steel walls and narrow quarters
was broken only by the regularity of an
occasional meal and religious services.
and contained little of good cheer for
those whose lot cast them where they
were.
Without, more than a quarter of mill
ion of souls felt the common impulse of
good will toward mankind Within were
three hundred and forty-siX unfortunates.
Possessed of little leisure and given
meager consideration by that society
against which they had sinned, and
whose laws they had disregarded, truly
Christmas at the jail was a sorry day.
Not all the inmates of the jail are as
black as they are sometimes painted.
About two hundred and eighty-five of
those under the care of Warden Leonard
are negroes. The remaining sixty-one
are white men and women. Some are
serving time, others awaiting trial be-
fore the courts, all, in the eyes of the
law, criminals of greater or less degree.
Christmas instincts led some to commit
the crimes of which they were declared
guilty. Necessity, and even parental love
and fatherly devotion probably, as is fire.
quently the case impelled others to com
init deeds of theft and crimes against
their fellow men. This latter class exper-
fenced more keelly the pangs of an un-
happy Yuletide behind prison bars. In
like those who appeared to be without
blood ties and thoughtful relatives, and
others who were ostracised by family
because of their misdeeds, some of the
latter were not forgotten and received
baskets OF good things from friends and
home. Wives sons and children remem-
bercd them, visited their cells in person
to deliver gifts and offered some of them
a modicum of pleasure and good cheer
with fond smiles and loving embraces.
Early in the day a small band of Catho-
lies called AT the jail with baskets of deli
cacies and good things. whicn were dis
tributed among the prisoners. Before leav-
ing divine services were he'd by them in
the assembly hall of the jail. Shortly be-
fore noon representatives of numerous
eolored churches did the same thing for
those Of their race. and. later in the after
noon, religious services were conducted by
the Methodists, under the direction of the
Rev. j. Fred Heisse, Fred Mckee and
others.
No extra Christmas dinner was served
TO his charges by Warden Harris. 1t was
not because he was not desirous OF MAX
ing them happy, but it has not been
thought good policy for years to expend
large sums for elaborate holiday dinners
at The jail. The regular prison fare was
served at all the meals.
In this respect the inmates Of t7e Wash
