Thc Toy Pistol.

Among the cases in the Police Court
this morning was that of a merchant
who had been cited to appear to answer
the charge of selling toy pistols to
minors. The complainant in the case
subsequently declined to prosecute the
accused and he was dismissed with an
admonition. The dealer said he had
determined to sell no more ofthe pistols.
Justice Cation cited the laws of the State
and city in reference to the deadly toy,
referred to recent death from lockiaw
superiuduced by the pistol and announced
his purpose to carry out the laws and

Depot Site Selected.

A committee of Alexandrians and
others visited Washington today and APP
neared before the Commissioners of the
District OF Columbia in reference to the
removal of The Washington station OF
the electric railway. They urged that
the change of site from Pennsylvania
avenue and 49, street would be an in
convenience to all Alexandrians whose
business or inclination takes them TO
Washington, and entreated the commits
sioners to agree upon a site short dis
lance east or west of the present terml-
nus. The matter was left IN the
hands OF the commissioners and the
latter subsequently met and decided
10 locate the station at TIN ana
d streets-two squares east Of the pres
ent station. This selection Will prove
satisfactory to Alexandrians. Repre-

st. Asaph Victorious.

The cases of the Commonwealth vs..
J. NJ. Hill and others, which have been
pending for several months past, charged
with conducting pool room in VIOLATION
of the law, upon warrants sworn Out De-
f =, Jonathan R. HagAn, yesterday re-
suited in a victory for the defendants,
who sought to prohibit Jonathan r.
Hagan from sitting in the cases. Yes
terday the matter came up before Judge
Nicoi in the Circuit Court of Alexandria
county, upon a petition for a writ OF
prohibition, to which petition Attorney
for the Commonwealth and respondent,
Mr.. Mackey, demurred. Mr. Mackey
argued his demurrer for over two hours
at the conclusion Of which the court,
without hearing argument from counsei
for the petitioner overruleu 'ne I1lnu'
rer and required Jonathan X. hagan
to file his answer, WhereupOn the at
tcrneys for the petitioners urged the
court for an immediate hearing upon
the legal proposition involving the JurIs
diction of Jonathan r. Hagan, and this
question was fully argued by Messrs.
Francis L. Smith, Edmund Burke and
C. G. Carlin for the petitioners and Mr..
Crandall Mackey for Mr.. Hagan. AT
the conclusion of the argument, Judge
Nico rendered his decision in favor of
the petitioners position and awarded a
perpetual writ of prohibition against
Mr.. Hagan. By this decision the thir-
teen warrants become obsolete and a
clean victory, so far as all pending pro
ceedipgs are concerned, has been won
by the St. Asapb people. 1t, however,
so happens that the legal questions pre-
sented and determined do not decide as
TO the legal rights of the parties, and it
is thought that Mr.. Mackey will sue out
new warrants at an early day and have
the questions determined. The cases,
however, must now be tried before some
one of the magistrates of Jefferson dis
( riot. no other magistrate or court having
jurisdiction of the alleged Oflenses. The
St. Asaph people have always contended
that their business was legal aud that
they were not operating in violation OF
any law, and it now begins to look as
if they will sustain their contention,
the law officers will be relieved from any
further responsibility, and the legisla-
ture alone can change the existing con-
dition of affairs.
