PAT CARR AGAIN IN THE TOLLS.
Rosa Robinson's AssaiIant TO Be
Tried for Househren king

James. alias Pat" Carr, who served
term in the penitentiary for assault upon
little Rosa Robinson two years ago. is
again in the clutches of the law and will
be called to trial on the charge of house
breaking in Criminal Court No. l next
week. Carr, together with Thomas Curri-
don, is charged with housebreaking, hav-

at 52S Eighth Street, short while ago
The accused were arraigned on Thursday
before Justice Clabaugh in Criminal Court
No, ! and pleaded not guilty to the charge
against them.
The notoriety which Carr gained for
himself just after his attempt TO assault
Rosa Robinson has caused more than usual
interest in the result of his coming trial.
1t will be remembered that when on trial
before Justice McComas on the charge of
assaulting the little Robinson girl he stout
ly maintained his innocence. It will also
be remembered that he made every effort
to escape arrest after the assault, and it
was not until he found it useless to further
try TO avoid the local police that he came
from his hiding place in the lofts of a
row of buildings in the northeastern sec
tion OF the city. 1t was reported at the

ON A CHARGE OF SUSPICION.
Maggie Wilson Arrested and Locked
In Mt the First Precinct.

Detectives Helan and Boyd arrested
Maggie Wilson, forty years old, and locked
her up at No / station yesterday after
noon. charged with suspicion. The charge
may be made more specific when the
woman is arraigned in court this morning.
The complainant against the woman ap-
pears as Mrs. j. Wesley Bovee, of 1i0i H
Street northwest.
II appears that the Wilson woman Wis
tied Mrs. Bovee yesterday and represented
to her that she had for sale some fine real
old hand made lace. Ii was contained in
satchel and was displayed on request. Af
ter some talk bargain was made whereby
Mrs Bovee agreed to take some of the
lace at the given prive of S25. She paid
the woman SIS and requested her to re-
turn later for the balance. The more Mrs.
BoYee considered her alleged bargain the
more suspicious she became Of it, until
finally, to satisfy herself as to the quality
of the lace she took it TO local depart
inent store, where she consulted one of
the buyers Of the establishment.
The buyer examined the lace and is said
to have pronounced it machine made cot
ton lace worth about So. Armed with this
information. Mrs. Bovee consulted her
husband. DR.. Bovee, and he informed the
police of the transaction. Detectives Boyd
and Helan were detailed on the case and
were present at the Bovee home when tn
Wilson woman returned for the balance
due her on the sale Of the lace, as per
agreement.
The detectives questioned the woman
and decided to take her to headquarters
for an examination. There the woman
could not tell anything about herself She
1 did not know where she lived in this city
and although she claimed to have been in
! several other cities she could not state
what her addresses had been. She stated
| that the lace offered for sale to Mrs. Bovet
/ had been purchased in Philadelphia. 1t Is
| probable that more will be learned of tht
woman when she Is arraignes in court.

KICKED BY A HORSE.
4 Three-Year-oid Boy Probably
Fatally Injured.

James Hurley. three years old, was yes
terday the victim of a curious accident,
which will probably result in his death.
He is now lying at Providence Hospital
with a crushed skull and other injuries.
and ii is thought that his chance for re-
covery is very slight. The child is father
less. and his mother is at present an in
mate of the Washington Asylum Hospital.
where she has been at the point of death
for several days. At the time she went
to the hospital Mrs Hurley entrusted her
child 10 the care of the family of Cappee
Crashaw.
The Crashaw family lives on lot be-
tween Sixteenth and Seventeenth and f
and + Streets northeast. The home is ad-
jacent to the carsheds formerly occupied
by the old Carette company. The lot sur
rounding the home and sheds forms an
admirable place for the pasturing of horses.
and many persons in the neighborhoJd
turn their animals loose TO Craze. Several
horses were cropping the grass there yes
terday afternoon about o'clock, when
Mrs. Crashaw had occasion to leave her
home TO visit neighbor She placed little
James on the front door step. She had
but short distance to go, and thought the
child would be sale during heF absence.
Mrs. Crashaw was absent only few
minutes. but when she returned it was to
find her charge lying on the ground bleed-
ing profusely from wounds in his head.
She summoned aid, and the little fellow
was at once taken to the hospital
How the accident occurred is matter Of
conjecture, but it is supposed that the
! horses while grazing came near the door
step on which James was seated. He is
thought to have crawied down the steps
and attempted TO drive the animals away
1t is probable that he was either kicked in
| the head or was trampled on.

As a result of the mass meeting held

influential citizens have taken the matter
up ard the project is well on the way
toward realization. Already the sum of
$l.l0O has been contributed and the pros

is to be founded in conjunction with the
people of Baltimore and 1t is expected that
the workings of the organization will
solve the problem of caring for those who
cannot or will not care for themselves,
and will make those in the republic self
reliant and self-supporting.
This novel institution will be copy of
the George Junior Republic. wherein boys

Independently OF these considerations the
light grasping power Of large telescopes,
which in the hands of men like Hall, Bar

coyeries, defeats to some extent its own
end in the case of the perception OF fine
planetary details. Here small telescopes
compete keenly with large ones, for If We
refer to the history of the discovery of the
most evanescent planetary markings, such

results that may be expected from the CO.

careful consideration Of all the circum-

that Justice Riddle had been a defendant
on similar charge. The deputy is now
under bond to appear before the State court
on charge of felonious shooting Repre-
sentative B. B. Dovener has been retained
TO defend the magistrate and declares that
had he not issued the warrant he would be
liable TO indictment The clash between
