A Sad Case.

Mr.. Frederick s. Abel appeared be-
fore the county commissioners yesterday
and requested them to care for his
daughter, Mrs. Sadie A. Harrington,
who recently came from Alexandria,
Va She is now at Mount Hope Retreat,
having been temporarily admitted there.
The commissioners thought that she
sbonld be cared for by the Virginia au-
tborities. but referred the matter to
states Attorney John Grason. Mr.;
Abel said that Mrs. Harrington had
been brought to his home on Marcn D,
a raving maniac, and that he was not
able to care for her. He said that she
had been abandoned by her husband
A letter was received from Sister Cathe-
rine, superintendent of Mount Hope,
who stated that she could be cured. No
matter what view the States Attorney
may take of the matter, it is not proba-

Sent to the Grand Jury.

The case of Harry Nicholson, charged
with cutting Otto Vogelgesang on the
night of the Goth ultimo in the Alexan-
dria Steam Bakery, was examined by
the Mayor in the Police Court this morn
ing. The prisoner was represented by
Messrs. G. G. Carlin and Chas. Bend
helm. Vogelgesang was present and his
testimony was to the effect that Nichol-
son and James Bradley entered the
bakery on the night of February 26, that
Nicholson took seat on the table, that
he called his attention to the fact that
he was violating rule of the bakery In
occupying a table as seat and also that
the proprietor had given orders for him
to be debarred from the premises. He
ordered him out when Nicholson APP
piled an .ugly epithet to him; that he
(Vogelgesang) turned and asked him
what he said, when Nicholson advanced
on him, using his knife; also that ne
Knocked Cary Davis down while the
latter was attempting to give an alarm.
The defense attempted to show that the
cutting was the result of fight in which
Vogelgesang had struck the first blow,
one the witnesses having testified that
the two men were striking at each other
when his attention was called to the
disturbance. 1t was also shown that
the proprietor of the bakery had told
Nicholson to 90 to the bakery and see
Vogelgesang in order to be reinstated in
the position from which he had been
discharged. The Mayor finally sum-
med up the case into two offenses-
trespass and assault on the part OF
Nicholson and sent the case on to the
grand Jury. The accused furnished bail
in the sum of $500, Mr.. John Ryan be-
coming his surety. Nicholson exhi-
bited a cut on his right hand which he
alleged he received in the affray and the
officer who arrested him the day after
the cutting said his eye was black and
his mouth bruised.

Police Commissioners.

The regular monthly meeting OF the
Board of Police Commissioners was held
last night There was no specific case
before the board, but mention was made
of several recent cases of officers using
their batons when it was alleged that
there was no necessity for such severity,
and discussion ensued. Commissioner
Fisher was prepared to take action at
once against officers who had acted I'M
necessarily severe. He said that he had
always understood that the police were
allowed to carry pistols and batons for
use only when attacked or when they
had reason to believe their lives were in
danger. The mayor said that while the
cases under discussion were particularly
aggravated ones, the injured parties, all
of whom are non-residents, had declined
to perfer charges against the officers and
had requested that no action be TAKEN
1t is generally understood that in future
any officer who uses unnecessary ylo-
lence to a prisoner will be held ac-
countable to the board. The mayor an
nounced to the board that charges had
been preferred against Officer Young
for an alleged failure to properly turn IN
a fire alarm, and that he would hear the
case at 1880 o'clock tonight

Runaway.

About s o'clock this morning the
horses attached to Mrs. Kate Lindsey's
carriage ran away from the residence OF
that lady at Braddock Heights and started
towards this city as fast as their legs could
carry them. Mr.. John Smithers, gate
keeper at Fayette and Oronoco streets,
saw the animal coming as well as the
south-bound Florida limited train. he
calculated that they would reach the
crossing at the same time, and they did;
In the meantime, Mr.. Smithers had
lowered the gate. The animals collided
with the gate and broke it to pieces, but
the impact was sufficient toprevent them
from reaching the track over which the
train was running at a lively rate OF
speed. The horse, however, started TO
run parallel with the track and side
wiped nearly all the cars with the car
rage. Strange to say, the horses re-
ceived no apparent injury, but the
vehicle was damaged somewhat.

DEBATE on THE CUBAN TREATY
The executive session yesterday was
taken up with discussion of the treaty.
Democratic Senators urged that the treaty
be amended so as to remove restriction
which, it is claimed, is an abridgment of
the power of Congress in its legislative
acts by Article VIII of the treaty. The
minority was unit in denouncing this
section. but could not muster sufficient
votes to defeat the treaty because of its
retention. The Objectionable section is
as follows:
ono sugar the product of any other
foreign country shall be admitted by treaty
or convention into the United States,
while this convention is in force, at a
lower rate of duty than that provided by
the tariff act of the United States, APP
proved July "a, 1897"
Mr.. McEnery, in speech opposing
the treaty, contended that the treaty
was in the INTEREST," of the sugar trust.
When Senator McEnery concluded
Senator Newlands took the floor. His
speech was notable because he appeared
as an open advocate of the annexation
of Cuba to the United States and also as
an opponent of the treaty.

Suit Against Cuvillier & Company.

In the Circuit Court yesterday almost
the entire day was consumed IN nearing
arguments in the suit OF w. A. Smoot %
Company and others, against Caviiiief
& Company upon the answer 10 tne sug
gestion served upon the City Council OF
Alexandria as to the present amount Oh
money payable by the city to the hrm OF
Cuvillier & Co. and available to their
lien creditors. The Mack Manufacture
ing Company claimed upward OF sl4Vo
of the fund upon an alleged assignment
directed to E. c. Dunn, City Engineer,
and given several months ago, and this
was denied by the judgment-execution
creditors who claimed that this paper
was not an assignment and that all the
fund was payable to them in the order OF
of their priority of judgment and execu-
ton. The first and largest of these
iudgment-creditors was w. A. Smoot d
Company, who claimed the fund. The
Improved Order of Red Men claimed
priority by virtue of an assignment, as
did James Patterson. Judge Nicol de-
cided that the assignment of the I'M
proved Order of Red Men was valid TO
the extent of their claim for 500, but
that all the other so called assignments
were invalid and formed no part OF the
fund, and that the judgment and exc
cution of w. A. Smoot & Company be-
ing prior to all other creditors came
ahead of all other claimants. An ap-
peal was noted. The firm of w. A.
Smoot & Company was represented by
Messrs. E. B. Taylor and j. X. M.
Norton. Mr.. James Patterson and the
Improved Order of Red Men were rep
by Mr.. S. G. Brent, and the
Mack Manufacturing Company by Mr..

A Three DAYS Concert.

While on their tour through the New Eng
land States, in the winter Of 1901, the
Students Concert Company Of the Ithaca Con-
servatory of Music was caught in the herce
blizzard which ragged for days throughout the
northeastern part of New York State. The
train OH which they, with several other pas
sengers, were endeavoring to reach Bqriing-
ton, Vermont, was caught and held by the
snow several miles from any town or city ana
il was three days before rescuing party
could reach them and shovel out the tram. III
is said that the students were, during these
long hours, the life of the imprisoned party
and their train recitals" to the accompani-
ment of the blizzard were given before as APP
preciative an audience as it was ever their
pleasure to appear. However, 1t was a tired
party of students that rolled into Burlington
on the evening of the third day barely in time
for the concert. The Burlington press, how
ever. proclaimed that this was one of the best
concerts ever given in that city. Ii is one OF
these students concert companies that VIII
