He took no interest in his occupation, was becoming dissipated in his hab- it's and i'll general way showed that something serious was on his mind. Mrs Flavin fearing flight on his part and that her bail was in consequent danger had the man arrested this morning. He was taken to jail on mittimus issued by Justice Sla- win, and he will be held until the June term of the superior court. criminal side opens here.

 CANNON AND PAYNE.
Democrats Catch the Republicans
 Mapping While They Scrap.

Washington, April 10--A few minutes before the house took re- cess yesterday, Speaker Cannon and Majority Leader Payne engaged in sharp exchange of words. The incf- dent occurred during consideration of the bill to promote the safe trans portation of explosives. MT Payne was making remarks foreign to the bill, when MT Sherley of Kentucky promptly called him to order, and the speaker sustained MT Sherley. saying: "The chair sustalns the point of order and trusts that the gentleman from New York will set good example to the house.
 Thereupon the democrats applaud ed. Proceeding with some embar- rassment, MT Payne said that, hav- ing ruled that he was not in order, it was not necessary for the speaker to make any further suggestion to him. He then began speech in favor of the bill, but Speaker Cannon brought his gavel down with en- phasis and declared the house in re- cess under the special ruie.
 Three times yesterday in the house the democrats caught the republi- cans mapping" and forced them to produce a quorum. On one other occasion a vote by tellers disclosed the absence of quorum, hut Speak CT Cannon summarily applied the Reed rule and declared quorum present. In doing so he had brief but lively clash with MT Williams.
 Notwithstanding repeated roll calls, progress was made in the transaction of public business. Both the army and the Notifications ap- propriations bills were sent to con- ference; the senate bill to increase the efficiency of the revenue cutter service was passed with democratic help. and the bill to promote the safe transportation in interstate com merce of explosives was considered It will be finally disposed Of to-day.

 Lieutenant-Colo George M. Tor ney, department surgeon general at the Presidio, San Francisco, who is a personal friend of Admiral Evans, was here last Sunday and Monday, and made thorough examination of him.

THE POLICE COURT.
Charles Street Men Get Into Trouble
 Over Board Bill.

Tony Polomba of 96 Charles street was of the opinion that while fel- low isn't working he should not be called upon to pay board. It is three months since Tony earned 3. cent and in that time he had not paid his brother-in-law, Gacinto Sol cito, for his board, on the very logi- cal grounds that he didn't have the money. Solcito was of an opinion contrary to Tony's altogether, and when he asked Tony for money last night, thinking that it was about time Tony should tighten his finan- cial responsibility in that respect, trouble broke out. Tony's sister. Mrs Solcito, stuck up for him, and thereupon Solcito transferred the hard knocks he had prepared for Tony to Mrs Solcito. He first seized her head between his hands and knocked it against the window jamb. Evidently that was not nard enough to make an impression and he tried the corner of the wash tub. By that time Tony had alarmed the. occu- pants of 96 Charles street and the owner of the house, John Laudatto
 and his daughter AGolumba vent to the assistance of the woman Then Officer James Fitzgerald was called in by some one who said SoIcito was murdering his wife. The appearance of Solcito and his wife convinced the officer that the fellow would have seriously hurt the woman. Both were covered in their own blood and the house was topsy turvy. In the city court to-day Solcito sal,i the whole trouble was caused by Tony refusing to pay his board. He was committed to jail for thirty days
