eral selections, much to the delight of their
fellows. Standing on one of the stairway
landings, they put their heads together in
CLOSE harmony" Their voices blended
perfectly, and at the conclusion of their
song there were demonstrations of delight
upon the part of the other prisoners.
At the jail there is always the keenest
interest in the doings of another prisoner.
This fact was clearly exemplified at the
o'clock service yesterday afternoon, con-
Quoted by members of the Epworth
League, Of Wesley Memorial Chapel. Four
songs were sung by John Mcdonald,
prisoner, who Will today be released at the
expiration of a three months sentence for
larceny He has a splendid baritone voice
of especial ctearness and strength, and.
moreover, is musician of no little ability.
One of the songs he composed since COM
ing to the jail. 1t showed a masterful
command of musical Interpretation.
Mcdonald is rather an enigma TO the au-
of superior education, and has apparently
travelled extensively. The officers at the
Jail believe the name Mcdonald an as
sumed one. His wonderful voice attracted
attention to him soon after he came to the
jail, and since that time he has frequently
been allowed TO sing solos, much to the de-
light of the prisoners. Yesterday he was
accorded the privilege of coming out into
the rotunda to sing. The Epworth ser
vices are probably the most popular of the
day on account of the large amount of
singing. Many of the prisoners take the
keenest interest in all the services. They
gain a position as close to the rotunda as
joining in all the songs and bowling their
heads reVerently at every prayer.

IN THE DISTRICT COURTS.
George II. Davis Trial to he Begun
This Morning.

The trial of George r. Davis, who is
charged with the embeZzlement of $1,000
of the funds of the Southern Express
Company, is scheduled TO begin this morn
ing before Justice Barnard, presiding in
Criminal Court No. l. 1t was expected
that the trial would have been begun last
Monday morning, but the Bass case oc-
cupied the attention of the court much
longer than was anticipated, and the
Davis case was postponed.
Davis was formerly employed as a
messenger by the Southern Express Com
pany. About two years ago several money
packages were lost and Davis fell under
suspicion. Investigation developed the
fact that he had seal similar TO the one
used in sealing money packages, made by
Arthur Baumgarten, a local manufacturer
of such articles. When Identified by
Baumgarten in the offices of the express
company, as the man by whose order the
seal had been made. Davis drew a pistol
from his pocket and fred at his accuser.
For this offence Davis was indicted for
assault with intent TO kill and was con-
victed in Criminal Court No. ]. He was
afterward sentenced to the penftentiary
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1901-04-15

for a period of two and one-half years.
Some months after being sentenced Davis
was pardoned by the President. At the
trial today the Government Will be rep
resented by Assistant District Attorney
Ashley NJ. Gould.
1t is also expected that some steps will
be taken tomorrow by District Attorney
Thomas II. Anderson to reopen the Po-
tomac Flats case. The matter was to
have come on for hearing before Justice
Hagner. sitting In the District branch of
the Supreme Court of the District, on
April last. but on account of the Justices
illness II was postponed.
Justice Hagner has been confined to his
home for the greater part of the last
three weeks, and during that time was
able to visit the City Hall only once. 1t
was stated last week that Ii was proba-
BILE he would go to Atlantic City for
few days, and there is still some doubt
If he will be able to undertake the con-
sideraticn of such an important matter
curing the current week.
The object of reopening the Potomac
Flats case is to take testimony relative
to the value of the wharf property along
the Potomac River front, within the limits
of the District. In order that the matter
might be properly put before the owners
of property along the river front and the
lessees of wharf property, District Attor-
ney Anderson some time ago sent out
notices informing them of the action
about to be taken by the Government and
also explaining the purpose OF the reopen
ing of the case.
In connection with the subject of the
reopening of the Potomac Flats case it
may be stated that at the request of
District Attorney Anderson Mr. Griggs
before his retirement, decided to appoint
special attorney TO take charge of the
interests of the Government in the mat
ter. In the last week there has been con-
siderable talk about the City Hall relative
to the matter and while IL fs admitted
that the appointee has been decided upon
the name has not been announced.
The delay in the naming of the special
attorney will not, however, it is said, in
terfere with nor cause a postponement of
action by District Attorney Anderson. In
case Justice Hagner is able to take up
the consideration of the case tomorrow
the District Attorney win appear for the
Government and continue as counsel until
a special attorney is named by the Attor-
ney General.

this future great is now, and has been,
manifesting for some time. The streets
are thTonged with teams loaded with
hay. lumber, merchandise. ore, smelter
and mining machinery. and miners sup
plies II is nothing uncommon to be
able now to stand on the corner of
Bridge and River streets and count
from fifteen to twenty teams moving in
every direction.
Building is more active now than il
was at this period last year. There are
More business houses under way and
the vacant places along Bridge street
have nearly all disappeared. The de
mand for business locations exceeds
the supply. Men are doing business in
any place they can get, n some of
them are occupying very cramped quar-.
tiers. Dwelling houses are going up on
every hand and il is difficult to keep
pace with the new people who are com
iuL in apd casting their lot with the
town. 1t is very seldom one calls in
question the future of this town and
country, for they seem to realize that
it's future is assured beyond any ques-

be headed by A. J.. Doggett. the

hesitancy in saying hat it hopes the
citizens will cast their votes for the
Doggett ticket. A town should be run
on business principles, and for that
reason. when the town secures the ser.
vices of "A practical business man at the
