WOMAN AND A BOARD BILL.
A Lively Fight Caused at an Up

near II Street northwest. John Smith,
aged thirty years, and Neverly Bosler,
fifty years old. are the names given by
the prisoners. who left collateral at the
First precinct station. TO ensure their
presence in court today. The police sus-
pect the names as they appear are ficti-
tious.
There was much excitement at the Bel
mont attending the trouble, which oc-
Cured about o'clock. Nobody about the
place seemed inclined to talk last night,
but il was said an overdue board bill
caused the rumpus. A number of women
board in the house, and some of them
made much ado when Smith and Boser
became engaged In miNup. One OF the
danes even tainted, ii Is said, TO show
how really surprised she was. Everybody
crowded about the first floor room, where
the men were in combat, and many saw
John Smith disiigured somewhat by the

NEGROES CONFESS ROBBERY.
Suspects in Hold-Up of Alexander
Drummond Admit Their Guilt.

The police secured a confession last
night from Thomas Grigsby and Lewis
Holmes, both colored, charged with high
way robbery. A third negro, known as
"Blackman," has yet eluded arrest, but
the police hope to clear up the mystery
of his whereabouts very soon. Alexander
Drummond, an empioye at the navy yard,
is complainant against the negroes.
According to Policeman Cats. who has
investigated the hold-up of Drummond
on the night of the 18th instant, both
Grigsby and Holmes took part in the
robbery. Grigsby held Druulmond while
the others robbed him near Fourteenth
and Streets northwest. Jewelry, in
Guiding several gold charms. and some
money, was taken from the victim. a
part of the jewelry has been recovered
from pawn shops and a secondhand
store. where it was disposed of by the
thieves. In his confession Grigsby states
that he hid behind a pile of lumber until
Holmes and his companion met Drum
mond and engaged him in conversation.
On their approach Grigsby jumped out
upon them, seized DrvmmOnd, and held
him. After the robbery Drummond was
permitted to go, and the negroes made
OFF with their pluuder.

SOLD MILK BUT NO CREAM.
A Grocer yindicated of n Charge in
the Police Court.

Elias Keiser, grocer, was in the Po-
lice Court yesterday, charged with selling
cream below the standard required by
law. DIR. j. d. Hird, the District Chemist,
testified that sample of cream which
had been procured by a Health Depart
ment inspector from Keisers store. when
analyzed, showed that it contained only
IL per cent of butter fat. when the law
demanded that it should have 20 per cent.
Keiser testified that he never dealt In
cream, but that ne dealt in milk and sold
as milk the sample analyZed as cream by
DR. Hird. Judge Kimbali said that If
Keiser sold milk so rich that II held L
per cent of butter fat, where the law re-
auired that ii should have but 3h per
cent he thought he would transfer his
custom 10 him. Keiser said he did not
know how much butter fat the milk he
sold possessed. but he did know that he
did not sell it as cream. He called on
the Health Department inspector as to
the truthfulness Of the statement that
the sample he purchased was purchased
as milk. This the inspector frankly ad-
mitted and Keiser was discharged.

jOyed by Thousands.

Five thousand appreciative citizens of
Washington yesterday celebrated with the
local fire laddies their second annual ex-
cursion and enjoyed at River View an ex-
cellent athletic and musical programme.
The excursion was given for the benefit
of the Firemen's Relief Association and
the fund was greatly increased by the
generosity of the immense crowds which
thronged the resort from o'clock in the
morning until the whistle for the last
boat blew at 1880.
The excursion was a success. financial
ly and otherwise, and although only
thirty-nine firemen could be present, ow-
ing to the fact that the city must be
guarded from fire, even when the one day
of the year devoted to their interests ar
rives, the laddies on hand adequately did
the honors of the occasion, and saw that
their guests enjoyed themselves to the
utmost. Merrymaking and good fellow
ship held fun sway at the resort from
early morning until late at night. Just be-
fore the last boat landed at the Seventh
Street wharf, laden with tired and con-
tented pleasure seekers. three cheers were
given for the Washington Fire Depart

cellent manner In which he secured the
prize for the citizens tub race. He pad

Pennsylvania road. Complete arrange
ments have been made for the trip and
the Commissioners and their friends and
members of the committee, with the con-
tingent Of local reporters at the District

was taken into custody last night by Po-
liceman Delaney, of the Fifth precinct,
and later turned over TO the House of

DR.. STAFFORD APPOINTED.
Made Rector of st. Patrick's Par
ish by Cardinal Gibbons.
To Succeed the Rev. John GIoyd. De-
ceased, in One of the Most Import
ant Catholic Charges in the city
The New Pastors Brilliant Career.


The Rev Dr. ID. j. Stafford has been
appointed rector of st. Patrick's Roman
Catholic Church. The appointment was
made Thursday by Cardinal Gibbons,
but has not yet been officially announced.
DIR. Stafford, who is in retreat, and alb
sent from the city, has not been advised
of his selection to fill the place made va
cant by the death of the Rev. DIR. John
Gloyd. the former rector. Since the de-
cease of Father Gloyd, DR.. Stafford has
been the acting rector of the parish. The
new rector returns from retreat today.
when the welcome news will await him
at the parish rectory.
1t is understood that the appointment
to the rectorship of 81. Patricks parish
had first been rendered to the Rev. Thorn
as 5. Lee. the rector of st. Matthew's
Church, by the Cardinal. but that upon
Father Lees representation that he pre-
ferred to remain in his present incum-
bency the offer was withdrawn. The ap
pointment of DIR. Stafford is peculiar in
the fact that no competitive examination
has been required of him, and he will not
have been a member of the diocese for
ten years until the 10th of next month.
The rectorship of st. Patricks parish is
ment. Such appointments are governed
by rules requiring that the candidates
shall be members of the diocese for at
least ten years. and that all priests eligi-
BILE for the appointment shall undergo an
examination to prove their qualifications.
These rules were formulated at the Third
Plenary Council at Baltimore, but in the
present instance they have been waived
by the Cardinal. which is a power permit
ted him by virtue of what is known in
the canon law rs extra OF dinary circum-
stances" Father Gloyd,, who, however,
was a member of the, diocese for over
thirty years before his selection as rec
tor. was appointed in -a,,similar manner.
DIR. Stafford will not be required to pass
an examination in view of the fact that
he has already attained by virtue OF hard
study, the degree of doctor of divinity.
The appointment of DIR. Stafford is con-
sidered a most happy selection. He is
eminently popular with the members Of
the parish, and upon the death of Father
Gioyd considerable pressure was brought
to bear upon the Cardinal to ensure his
succession. DIR. Stafford has wide rep
utation as an eloquent and forceful ora
tor He has devoted considerable atten-
ton to the study of the works of Shakes
peare. His frequently repeated lectures
on Hamlet" and other plays by the bard
of Avon have shown power as an in
terpreter of the poets thoughts which
has proved DR.. Stafford In possession of
extraordinary histriOnic ability.
