With the true holiday spirit that fills
the heart of every good American. the
anniversary of Washington's birthday
was fttingly celebrated in Washing
ton, and this morning the aftermath or
the gala occasion was written on the
records of the Police Court Monday Is
always a heavy day in both branches
of the court, because court is not held
on Sunday. but today was record
breaker for the number of cases that
came up before Judge Mullowny in the
District branch.
In Judge Kimbalrs court there were
numerous cases of assault. Colored
and white defendants were prosecuted
by men and women with heads covered
with bandages that attested that few
blows had been struck as a fitting eli
max to a day that began with friend
Iy drink or two. It seems that in the
belief of many a cracked skull is the
proper ending for a day OF festivity.

The FIERCE FLAMES
SEEK FRESH PREY
A Midnight Conflagration In
the Business Portion OF
WINFIELD.

Scarce had the citizens dispers
ed to their homes Saturday nigh,
from attending The Sentinel sub
scripti0n contest in the Opers
House when, little after clever
O'Clock, the fire bell rang out the
tocsin of a confiagration. From
some cause unknown the flames
broke out in the rear of the w.
w. Kelly store on Abel street,
the second building south of the
corner of Main and Abel streets
on which was located the VIM
Parish Bank, two-story brick.
South of the scene of the conflag.
ration was the mercantile estab-
lishment of S. j. Harper, another
substantial brick structure.
The flames soon became a roar
ing furnace, that were carried
over the roof of the bank building
and with their intense heat beat
against its sides and threatened
the three-story Jones building in
the rear, also located on Main
street, next to the bank.
Fortunately q south breeze pre-.
vailed and blew the sparks and
smoke into the open street, and
being confined by the barriers OF
the adjacent brick walls were
prevented from spreading into q
disastrous conflagration. As il
was, both the bank and the Jones
buildings caught in several places.
Thewilling and heroic work OF
the citizens on the roofs both
detected and extinguished the
incipient flames that appeared.
The fire was confined to the build.
ing in which it originated, a frame
structure of one-story.
The building burned belonged
to Mrs. L. N. Holmes and was
valued at $1,000 aud carried nc
insurance, the policy having ex-
pired few days before the fire.
Mr.. w. w. Kelly occupied it with
a stock of general merchandise
estimated to be worth from $6, SOC
to $1,000, insured for $4,000.
Under the same roof was the
tailoring establishment of r. w.
FOrdyce, who succeeded in re-
moving all of his goods, his roof
being covered with tin. His loss,
it any, was nominal.
There was considerable damage
done to firms and offices located
in adjoining buildings from the
removal of goo'ls and belongings.
In the Jones building were located
the dental Office of DR.. l. d. Net
ties and the grocery establishment
of Heard Bros. the latter moving
out many of their groceries. In
the upper floor of the bank were
located the law Office of w. M.
Wallace and tie real estate firm
of j. d. Pace & Co. Mr.. Wal
lace's library books were thrown
out of the second story and more
or less badly damaged. The bank
building was damaged by tearing

natured audience were entertained
by some elegant piano selections
by Mrs. Smith and Mrs. T,uste-
maker, which elected meri.ed and
prolonged applause. During the
counting Of the subscriptions the
utmOst decorum was observed and

When the applause had subsidized
Major Will A. Strong, managing
editor of The Sentinel, mounted
the stage and in q few words paid
tribute to the untiring energy and
zeal which had characterized the
young ladies in this contest. They
had added immeasurably to the
