Structures on Police.

The reflections yesterday upon the
members of the police force Of this city
during the proceedings Of the Corporation
Court has caused some of the latter to
make statementsi in their defense. While
on their face certain occurrences during
the past few months were calculated to
bring forth structures upon the officers,
the latter claim some grounds for defense,
and aver that they have done everything
possible to bring offenders to justice.
The officers say that in the case of the
shooting of John Ryan while those who
know the assailant refused to divulge his
name, the fact remains that all the par
ties who were in the saloon at the time
or who could have known anything about
the case, were brought into the Police
Court OH two different occasions, while
the perpetrator of last Saturday nights
crime was caught forty-eight hours after
the shooting occurred. In regard to the
larceny of articles from cars for which
several persons have been indicted, the
officers call attention to instances where
they have ferrete1 out robberies, some
being of recent date, when, for instance,
parties detected in stealing coal from cars
were brought into the Police Court out
where no railroad officials appeared 10

Preparing for the Parade.

A meeting of the Washington's Birth
dsy Association was held at the Friend
ship engine house last night. There
was a good attendance notwithstanding
the inclement weather and considerable
interest was manifested in the purposed
parade on the 22d of February. Many
preliminary matters were arranged, and
there is every reason to suppose that the
celebration next month will be in keep
ing with those of former years. An
invitation committee was appointed and
President Roosevelt, Governor Monta-
que, the Governor of MARYLAND the
Virginia Congressional delegations and
others will be invited to be present on
the occasion. Exertion will also be
made to induce the Fifth Maryland Reg
iment to attend as a body guard to the
Governor of that State.

Wild RIM of Cars.

A dirt train of eight cars broke loose
while loading in Canes Cut on the
Southern Railway, near Orange, yester-
day. and ran at full speed down the hill,
a distance of nearly half a mile. Every
effort possible was made to derail the
cars before much damage was done, but
failed. They struck the spreader, which
was standing On the north end of the
dump, breaking down considerable
%trestle work, and all the cars went down
a high embankment and troke to pieces:
This is the third accident Of the kind
since they began the grade.

Robinson's Assailant Captured,

Officers Smith and Allen succeeded
Yesterday in tracing and finally placing
in the station house the individual who.
it is believed, shot Bernard Robinson in
William " 4Je's saloon on Saturday
night last. Robinson, it seems, when
he went home refused to tell his father
the name of his assailant, and pretended
he had been shot by a friend, and in his
testimony before the Mayor yesterday
morning he said he did not know who
shot him. He left the city later and
is now said to be in a Washington
hospital. Officers Smith and Allen yes
terday became aware of the fact that a
man named Daniel G.. Harris, who al
ready has a police record, had been loiter-
ing about the city and had been seen in
and around the saloon where the shoot
ing occurred. He was here yesterday
morning. and certain circumstances in
connection with his movements and state
ments and hints the officers received
made them believe he was the man wanted.
They accordingly got onto his trail aud
found he had left the city and was max
ing bis way south On foot via the South
ern Railway track. The officers started
in the same direction and upon arriving
at Cameron run bridge ascertained that
Harris had just passed Burke's station.
They telegraphed to Clifton and Man
assas requesting the authorities at those
places to intercept the fugitive, and then
boarded a freight train which they left
at Clifton. At that place they found
that the object of their search had been
arrested by r. NJ. Kivett, Town Ser
geant, The latter turned Harris over
to the Alexandria officers who brought
him here and locked him up. The ac-
cused was brought before the Mayor this
morning, when Mr.. Wade recognized
him as the man who shot Robinson,
as did also Gus Robinson, brother OF the
wounded man, and another youth named
browns. Harris made no statement
and he was sent on to the grand jury.
The entire affair is clothed in mystery.
Robinson when interviewedby the police
Saturday night refused to divulge the
name of his assailant. Then the motive
for the crime is not apparent. Accord
ing to Mr.. Wade's testimony the first
shot was fired on the pavement and the
second in the doorway, while his testi-
mony and that of the other witnesses is
at variance with Robinson's statement
in minor and some material particulars.
No one seems to know what caused the
shooting. As stated above, Harris has
a police record. He is the man who
%viciously assaulted Officers Roberts and
Allen at the intersection OF Duke and
Henry streets last summer. 1t will be
remembered that Harris was arrested for
disorderly conduct and resisted the Off
GERS so iercely that he had to be trans
ported to the station house in a wagon
from which he hal previously knocked
the officers. He was on that occasion
fined $50 and in default OF payment
served 90 days on the chain gang.

Unfnnnded RumOrs.

During the past day or two a report
has been circulated to the effect that
there is a question whether the act pro-
viding for police justices for cities OF
over ten thousand inhabitants applied to
Alexandria, one clause ofwhich provides
that the act shall be imperative in a city
the charter of which clothes the
Mayor with the powers of a
Justice of the peace except when
the councils of such cities ask for
the appointment ola police justice. The
fact that the charter of Alexandria makes
no such provision and that the Mayor is
ex-oficio a justice of thepeace by virtue
of the code of Virginia, furnish condl-
tons which makes the act applicable to
this city. However, coupled with the
above report was another to the effect
that Mayor Simpson would contest the
validity of the act and would try all cases
brought before him after February LIST as
at present. When his honor's attention
was called to the rumor this morning he
laughed heartily, and said he never enter
tanned such an idea, but rather implied
that the new order ofthings was perfectly
agreeable to him.

SMALLPOX in Fairfax.

Smallpox of a mild type seems to be
spreading in Fairfax county and most OF
the cases seem to have originated at the
camp near Clifton where a large gang OF
men is at work double tracking the
Southern Railway. Recently Henry
Stevenson, a colOred prisoner, who had
been discharged from the Fairfax county
iail. developed the disease, and yesterday
WIN Foster, acolored prisoner, confined
in Jail awaiting to be sent to the Peni-
tertiary, having been convicted of muir
der. was found to be suffering from
smallpox. This has caused much ex-
element in the town. A white mau
living at Herndon also has the disease
and there are two cases at Clifton.
