BUSY DAY IN THE POLICE COURT
Jubilee suspects Arrnigned and Dis
posed OF by Judge f<imbaIl.

Business was unusually brisk in the Po-
lie Court yesterday morning. In addition
to the usual crowd of everyday offenders
the suspected pickpockets and thieves ar
rested BY the detectives during the Jubilee
celebration. In most instances the pris-
oners were shown to be undesirable resi-
dents Of the city and were either fined or
released on bond. on condition that they
would Immediately leave town.
Prosecuting Attorney Pugh presented the
cases. The first man to appear was Berk
ley Wroe, colored. who was arrested by
Detectives McNamee and McDevitt because
OF suspicious actions in crowds, jumping
on and off street cars. etc. He denied that
he was guilty of anything wrong, and
claimed that he came TO Washington from
Richmond not as a sightseer, but in search
OF work. He was ordered TO pay fine OF
$40 or serve sixty days on the farm.
William O'Brien and Thomas Harring-
ton, who were arrested by the same detec-
tives who captured Wroe. were closely
questioned by the court and asked for an
explanation of their conduct as related by
the officers. The defendants claimed to BE-
from Pittsburg, and expressed their will
lingness to depart at once for that city If
released. In view of the promise Judge
Kimball took their personal bonds. and
sent them to the railroad station under
police escort.
Detectives Horne, Watson, Boyd, and
Helan testified against Harry and Willie
Seymour, Charles Wilson, Timothy Rior-
dan. and John McGran, who were arrested
for suspicious actions in the crowds at
Ninth Street and New York Avenue during
III J,h,I II aIs pd hat
dan and McGran were wanted in New
York for crime committed there. The men
denied the statement, and after hearing
further evidence for and against all the
prisoners Judge Kimball took their per-
sonal bonds on condition that they would
leave the city on the first train going
north.
What was considered one of the most
important captures during the Jubilee was
that of John Reagan, alias Denny"
Gainey and George Osgood, alias "Bull'
Hurley, effected by Detectives Boyd and
Helan. Both men admitted having served
terms for various offences, but claimed
that they had done nothing wrong here
during the Jubilee. 1t was shown that
Gainey was a visitor here during the G. A.
R encampment some years ago, and was
sent out of town.
Judge Kimball. in disposing of the cases.
informed the prisoners that men of their
stamp when arrested here would have to
account to the authorities for their pres
ence. After argument by Attorney Car
rington. who appeared for the men, both
we're held in bond TO the amount of $500
each. with the alternative OF three months

HEIDELBERG'S STORK.

Heidelberg Cor. Chicago Record.
The stork has returned to Heidelberg
"a certain sign Of the coming of good
weather, apart from all other good for
tune attached to him. There is but one
stork in the city, known as the stork
and his nest, so it is said, for almost a
century has been on top of the chimney
OF house fronting the main business
street. once, many years ago, the
chimney, with the nest, was removed to
permit some improvements on the
house, but when the stork came back
he diSapproved of the change and re-
fused to settle in his old nest which
had been placed on another house. So
much public feeling was aroused over
the matter that in the end the nest was
put back in it's original location, where
1t has remained ever since. One other
misfortune has occurred in the dornes-
tic affairs of this famous stork Some
years since his mate was shot and for
two or three years he seemed inconsola-
Bile over his loss. and it was thought
he would die. True, at one time he
found another mate, but his devotion to
her was never SO marked as to the
first, nor did he spend so much of his
time with her. The cause of this lack
of attention was revealed when it was
discovered that he had yet another
mate IN town not many miles distant

QUINTON PLAN ENDORSED.
Builder Favors Erection of City Hall
in Kansas Avenue.

The Journal has received a copy OF
an interesting letter sent to the council
on the location of the new city hall. It
is worthy of consideration and is as fol-
lows:
Topeka. Kan, April 25, 1899.
To the Hon Mayor and Council of the
City of Topeka:
In this evenings Journal appears a
diagram of a section of the city show
ing the location of a number of plats of
ground that are about to be offered
for a site for the auditorium building
and one suggestion from Mr.. Quinton
seems to strike me that for economy at
least has its merits but I would suggest
a still further use of the streets SO as
to include Tenth street, which is about
as wide as Kansas avenue, cover the
whole space and build piers for the sup
port OF the structure with arches over
the drive ways and sidewalks leaving
room to accommodate all travel on
either street, also over the sidewalks
with stairs located so as to allow of
eight exists The driveways Of 10 feet on
Kansas avenue and the same
on Tenth avenue would leave
abundant room for the piers,
the stairs, the sidewalk passages
structed SO as to be ornamental and
unique and be as durable as any method
of construction The hall would receive
light and ventilation from all sides. and
II 1t is desired to have more room than
what is afforded by the streets extend
sufficient on one or both streets to OBJ
tain the desired room which would add
to the beauty of the structure and at
the same time save the cost of ground
which is certainly worth considering
and the location although not SO central
as many might desire, is good. As to the
driveways I would refer to those at
the state house only somewhat larger
This plan would save the entire cost of
ground and should be considered unless
prices on lots should be so reasonable
that the ground would not materially
add to the cost of the structure

an original way of bequea thing his eff
fects to his heirs He requested that all
meet at his house at a given time after
his death and open the safe in which
he kept his valuables, which they were
to divide equally. To each of the heirs
was told a part of the combination, and
accordingly the safe could not be open-
ed till they were all there. The heirs
all met at the appointed time The
combination failed to work and a me-
chanic was called, who, after about ten
hours work, opened the safe The com
bination was found to be slightly diff
ferent from that given There evident
ly was a purpose in this, as the com
motion and interest over the forcing of
the safe made 1t morally certain that
none of the heirs would fail to hear of
it Four thousand five hundred dollars
were found in the safe. The heirs are
happy.
