GLEN ECHO PARK.
Attractions Of Popular Resort Near

Joshua Green Gets Fine Instead Of

Joshua Green, colored. came out Of a
saloon on F. street northwest yesterday in
very beligerent frame of mind, and
showed it by his actions
Il amt afraid of you, John Sullivan" he
remarked. doubling up his fists and taking
the pugilistic attitude with his arms.
Take that" and Josh shot out an upper
cut that pelted the air. He walked another
ten feet down the street.
Yes, bring on Jeffries," he shouted, as
suming the Battling Nelson posture. He
beat the air several times. and then added
a few invectives Of profanity for good
measure.
Then Policeman Lille, after watching Josh
tanning the breezes, stepped up.
Il want you to so to the station the
officer remarked
Josh took one look at the active police
man, dropped his arms to his sides d
walked along peacefully.
Josh was charged with disorderly con-
duct when arraigned in the Police Court

take his personal bonds.
Desc officahs keepa close adherence to

wrong" stated Josh.
I'm make it So commented the Judge.
but Josh's financial condition made the SEN
tence read like six days on the farm.

SMALL FORCE AT G. P. o.
Number of Employees Less Than 1000
for First Time in Years.

For the first time in several years the
number of workers employed regularly at
the government printing Office has fallen
below 4,000-in fact, to less than 3, 3,700-and
the result is said to be distinctly notice
able morning and evening before and after
the blowing of the whistle. In the bindery
and folding room the difference is said
also to be very striking, for not only fs
the working space contracted, but the alb
sence OF long lines of busy employees has
been the subject of comment by visitors.
The major portion of the folding Is now
passing through the automatic machines,
while stitching, pasting and gathering COM
plete the chain of machine work from the
iron typesetters to the cylinder and web
presses.
No appointments Of regulars on the force
of printers have been made for several
years. and although there has been reddc-
ton of only two composing sections. 1t Is
understood that by resignation. death and
discharge for cause there has been reduc-
tion of at least 210 in the number of type
settlers. The volume of work appears to be
centered in the composing and press sec
tions, ard Is explained by the fact that
there are great many small paper-cov-
cred bulletins printed where formerly
smaller number of cloth or leather bound
books were issued
The bulletins of the Department of Agri-
culture are said to illustrate the tendency
to put through governmental publications
mechanically. The copy is passed through
the machine typesetting sections, plates are
made of the type pages in the foundry, and
when these thin sheets of metal are fas-
tened to the cylinder of the bulletin press
1T is necessary only to see that the gigantic
machine IS fed certain quantity Of ink
and paste, and that the printed, pasted and
folded pamphlets are removed to a cutter
for trimming. A run of 20OOO0 is not con-
sidered of especial Importance on one Of
the many large web presses in daily use
at the big printery

Addition to Pleasure Fleet,

The latest addition to the local fleet of
pleasure craft Is the power launch Isabelle,
belonging to Capt. Joseph Chivell of this
city. Capt. CEivell purchased the launch
from New York parties while she was lying
in the ST. Mary's river and brought her to
this city yesterday. She is said to have
been built at an English shipyard by order
of a wealthy New York man, who disposed
of her to buy q larger boat. She is thirty
three and onenalf feet long and has good
beam, so that she is an excellent sea boat.
She is finished inside in mahogany and
other hard woods, and is very handsome
craft. Her fittings are modern and she has
sleeping accommodations for about six per-
sons on long trips, but ON day trips she can
carry twice that number with comfort. The
boat is equipped with a ten-horse- power
gasoline engine that gives her a speed of
about ten miles an hour. She will be used
during the coming fall season for pleasure
cruising on the river

RESULT OF SHOOTING.
Filing Of Two Suits for the Recovery
of DAMAGES

VI OduAdScSs
Two suits were filed today in the Supreme
Court Of the District Of Columbia for the
recovery of damages. aggregating $4,000,
against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company and the Washington Terminal
Company, one by William E. Roche, jr..
claiming the sum Of $4,000 on account Of
personal injuries. and one by William E.
Roche. ST., claiming the right to be in
IDENTIFIED on account of the injuries suf-
fered by his minor child The declaration
of Roche, jr.. which is filed by Attorneys
Wilton J. Lambert and Edward Mclean,
sets forth that while the plaintiff was law
fully at or upon the property belonging to
the defendant companies at the corner or
I'd and l. streets northeast, August 16 last,
he was attacked by a watchman of the
defendant company and threatened with
bodily harm by blackjack in the hands
of the watchman. whose name was Martin
Hughes and that upon taking flight to
avoid personal injury he was assaulted by
being shot in the back by the watchman,
the bullet penetrating his body and passing
through one Of his lungs and being eX-
tracted from his breast. 1t Is alleged that
by reason Of the shot he was rendered
seriously i'll and hovered between life and
death for a long period Of time, and that
his lung and other parts of his body are
permanently affected by reason of the in
jures. The act of the agent Of the COM
pany Is said to have been wanton. The
defendants knew, 1t Is averred. or could
have known upon proper inquiry, that the
servant employed by them in the capacity
of watchman, who caused the trouble. was
an unfit person for many reasons to occupy
such a position. It is further claimed that
the boys business prospects for life are
seriously impaired, if not ruined.
The declaration on behalf of the father
sets forth the same facts, and he claims the
right to be Unidentified for expenditures
made by him for the care of his son and be-
cause of the loss to him of his boys serv-
ices.
The watchman, Martin Hughes, was in
dicted by the grand jury on account Of the
offense referred to and was sentenced to
serve eleven months and twenty nine days
in Jail.
