PRISONER REBUKED.
Judge Pritchard Reprimands George
Rufin for MANY Offenses.

If passing sentence upon George Ruffin,
colored, found guilty of assault with a
dangerous weapon, Justice Pritchard in
Criminal Court No 1, yesterday afternoon,
said the government claimed that the pris-
cner had been indicted, or at least had
been in trouble with the courts about ten
times, and that the defendant had acknowl-
edged half of this number.
THE trouble with you, Ruffin." continued
the justice is that you seem to be incor-
rigble. You went after your intended
victim like a Comanche Indian, with a
Ratchet, and it is probably due to the
density of his skull rather than to any
fault of yours that you are not being tried
for murder.

Shoaling Of Tidal Basin.

The tugboat masters who have had occa-
sion in the last two or three months to
go into the tidal basin from the river with
their boats have found that the water in
the basin has shoaled greatly in the last
year and at ordinary low water there Is
not over three or four feet of water. where
five or six feet formerly could be found.
The shoaling of the basin is attributed to
the debris washed in by currents and by the
fact that when the tugs berthed sand scows
in the basin two or three years ago their
propeller wheels kept a wide channel open
