A SOLDIERS BAD PLIGHT.
Judge KimbnII Interested in a Gu
ban Veterans Behalf.


William Degon, wearing the uniform of
regular army soldier, told Judge Kimball
a pitiful story when arraigned in the Po-
lice Court this morning, charged with va
grancy. Degon served in the Santiago
campaign and was given an honorable dis
charge. He returned to his home III tir-
ginia, where he remained until several
days ago, when he came to Washington
for the purpose OF enlisting for service in
the Philippines. On his arrival here he
met several comrades of the Cuban can.
paign and proceeded 10 make merry. Dur
ing their celebration Degon was relieved
of his money and was then forsaken and
deserted by his false friends. Degon then
applied to the War Department for enlist
meut, but was told that he would have to
make his application through the proper
channels.
Degon was found by an officer last night,
half frozen and suffering from hunger. He
had eaten nothing for two days. Degon
displayed his discharge from the service,
and on the back of the paper was written
the following: AN excellent soldier in
every respect
Degon stated that he did not understand
the red tape of the War Department and
that when he went there he was referred to
first one officer and then another until he
was thoroughly confused. He spent three
days in trying to enlist.
Judge kimball telephoned to the War
Department and was promised that Degon S
case would receive immediate attention.
After giving the prisoner a lecture on the
evils of intemperance, Judge Kimball told
him to go to the War Department, where
his case would be attended to.

REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS.
Light business So Far This Year, But
Prospects Bright.

Prospects Bright.
There is little in the real estate sltua-
ton Of interest for the moment. January
must be conceded to have been one of the
dullest months of the past year or more.
1t was not better than the January previ-
Gus which Is saying much, for January,
1898, was terribly dull. The cold Gather.
the holidays, and other winter conditions
usually make the month unimportant in
a realty way. But SO rar, February has
not been any improvement, Transactions
have been few and small. The intense
cold and the snow have prevented any en-
ergy on the part of real estate men, and
any interest on the part of intending or
possible purchasers.
Despite this gloomy opening of the year.
however, it May be said conservatively that
the prospect is the most encouraging in
every way for many years This is the
opinion Of the men engaged in the busi-
ness, and there are the best of reasons
for holding such an opinion. The condition
of the country in general-better than for
many years past; the plenty of money
such as has never been seen in this city
before; the relatively low price of real
estate at present, make 1t seem almost
certain that investors will turn their at
tention in its direction in short time.
Railroad stocks and bonds are paying from
3 to per cent at their present market
value, and this rate is constantly growing
less with the boom in the stock market.

PLAYED THREE-cARD MONTE.
Now james Jnrry Wants the Police
TO Get His $50 Back.

James Jarry, a well-dressed man. re-
ported TO the Police Department this morn
ing that he had been robbed of $50 by two
men whom he met on train coming from
Philadelphia TO this city. Jarry stated
that shortly after the train left the sta
ton in philadelphia early this morning
he was approached by two men Of very
pleasing address and asked to join in
game OF cards.
He assented, and they started small
game of ''seven-up." The game seemed
to grow tiresome to the two strangers, and
they commenced TO bet on what Is known
as three-card monte. One of the strang-
ers seemed TO be SO successful that Jarry
thought he would try his luck. For some
time he was very lucky in picking the
winning card. At last the stakes were
raised, and as a result Jarry lost all the
money he had with him, something over
$50 When the train reached this city at
7:4O O'Clock this morning Jarrys two
friends disappeared. leaving no trace be-
hind. Inspector Boardman Immediately ce-

ROBBED ON A TRAIN.
While Alec Lambert Slept Thieves
Came and Touched Him.

Alec Lambert, of yelling Station, Prince
George county, Va, reported to the police
this morning that he had been robbed OF
$50 in money, a $500 check payable to Alec
Lambert, drawn by Captain Hare, and two
discharges from the army, while on the
train between Manassas and Alexandria.
Lambert stated that he boarded the train
at Manassas early this morning, and being
very much fatigued fell asleep in his seat.
He awoke Just before reaching Alexandria
and discovered that he had been robbed.
He is unable to remember how or by whom
he was robbed. The police seem to think
that there is a regular gang of train rob
! bers at work on the roads entering Wash
/ ingtOn, and every effort is being made to
/ locate the guilty parties.
