TO ARREST A CONSTABLE.
The Landlord and Tenant Law viii
BE Tested.

A Leftwich Sinclair, Acting Prosecuting
Attorney in the District branch of the
Police Court, yesterday caused TO be is
sued a warrant for the arrest of William
II. H. Could local constable, charging
him with obstructing the street
The warrant was issued to test the ques-
ton as to whether a constable or like
official has the right under the landlord
and tenant law in the District to place
the goods and chattels and household eff
fects of a tenant in public street in
such manner as to obstruct travel. The
police complain that they have been
greatly troubled of late by household
goods being set out in this way. and the
question involved has never been judi
cially passed upon.
Constable Gould is charged with having
placed, on August &c, without permit,
household goods in public alley between
Tenth and Eleventh and V and w Streets
northwest and obstructing travel.

PROCEEDINGS IN LUNAcY CASES
A Number of Unfortunates Sent to St.
Elixabeth's.

member of the numerous family
known to the law as John Doe" was yes
terday committed to st. Elizabeth $
Hospital for the Insane by Justice
Barnard, sitting for probate business.
Since the subject was taken into
custody about two weeks ago by Metro
politan police officer he has not spoken n
, word. He refused to give any information
concerning himself, and. under the cir
cumstances. he had to be dealt with as
John Doe
During the proceedings yesterday Doe"
sat in the courtroom, apparently obli-
vious to what was going on about him,
and if he was interested he gave no evil
dence of it. The physicians who were
appointed by the court some days ago to
make an examination as to the mental
condition of Doe testified that he was
evidently a person of very weak mind
and fit subject for treatment in an asy-
lum for the insane.
Thomas L. Yumps, a man who stated
to the physicians and others who spoke
to him. that he saw things" was also
committed to the asylum.
Ephriam Halderman, who halls from
Jessup, Nd, came to the city about two
weeks ago. He apparently had no visible
means OF support, and was arrested.
When questioned the only information
he was willing to give the police was that
he had ten dozen of sisters
Robert Simms, colored, about fifty years
of age, who was arrested on the Long
Bridge about two weeks ago in a nude
condition. was also committed to St.
Elizabeth's Asylum for treatment. The
testimony presented to the court In this
case was to the effect that Sirnms was Of
feeble mind and unable to take care Of
himself.
Charles S. Smith, who imagines that
the Government owes him a large amount
of money for a pension. was also COM
mitted to the asylum for treatment.
The persons named above are all nom
residents of the District.
The others committed by Justice Bar
nard are John p. Orrison, Tasker Love-
man. This is the second time that Cole
man has been committed to the asylum
within the last two years. He was COM
mitted in 1899 by order of Justice Cole,
but some time ago was sufficiently cured
of his malady to be allowed his free
dom.
In the case of Johanna Bonnet the
young woman who about two weeks ago
attempted to commit suicide by drinking
carbolic acid, the proceedings were dis
missed. The physicians who made an
examination of her mental condition tes-
titled that she has regained her equili-
allowed to return to her people. Her
sister and brother were in the courtroom
and informed the court that they would
willingly take care of her.
Ihe proceedir gs against Leo Hill and
Nora NJ keleher were also dismissed.

The Berry Market.

More unfavOrable weather for black
berries and raspberries is not possible.
than which has prevailed for two weeks
past. Last week a blazing sun cooked
the fruit on the vines, and this week
the great humidity has caused the ripe
fruit to rot in transit; so all together,
berry growers are not having a very
large return for their labor and expense.
Prices have been low this week, with
tendency to go lower, and the main
thing needed is a good fresh northwest
wind. Lucretia dewberries have SOLD
from five to seven cents per quart, ac-
cOrding to quality, at the Milford depot
while Early Harvest has ranged from
81 90 to 81 go per 80 quart crate.
Red raspberries, contrary to every
PERSONS expectations, have been yer!
low in price compared with last year
from to cents per pint being tn
range Of price, and 10 money made IL
them by buyers at those figures.
A cool, dry atmosphere is what beI

Georgetown Court.

When the Court of Oyer and Ter
miner and the Courts of General Ses-
sions convened last Monday, for a mid
summer adjourned term, the judges
found several murders, committed
within few months, yet unavenged.
This was the adjourned term brought
over from last April because there was
smallpox in several of the Sussex county
towns, and the courts were afraid to sit
and congregate witnesses and jurors
from the affected places.
The Chief Justice addressing the
grand jury, gave these already deter
mined men renewed admonitiOn that
after a while, unless the spirit of hot
blooded shooting was curbed, murder
might run riot in Delaware, and this
was the place to administer the anti
dote.
The first case taken up for trial on
Tuesday was that of Louder N. Hearn
on charge of improper conduct with
Miss Minnie o. Joseph, of Georgetown
Miss Joseph testified to the facts, anC
the prosecution put her father anC
mother on the stand to cOrrObOrate he
evidence. William H. Wilson, Rober
q Houston, J. William Fawcett, Mrs
Nellie Fawcett and others swOre to hav
ing frequently seen the couple together
Hearn, when called by the defense
made a sweeping denial He assigne
his reason for flight from court lai
year as voluntary on his part becaus
of the persuasion of his friends, an
o that he had always regretted it becaul
he had a just defense. The Rev. Adal
