to perform any startling fests, his flight

time did he go out over the water, de-

COMMUNICATED
A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

A poor man has nothing to live for II
his Tepntation-his only cspita'--is
gone. A young man, once branded as
a thief, has little left to live for in his
home city. This being the case, an Of
fcer OF the law should be very careful 10
making an arrest in case as serious as
that of robbery-which means either q
isiI or penitentisry sentence, unless you
are "lucky." 90 yesterday 1t was re-
ported to police headquarters that some
ewelry had been stolen from the resi-
dence OF Mr.. John Donnelly, on upper
Prince street. The "ligbtniDg cslcula-
tors," who never were known to ferret
cat real ''live" case in their lives, got
to work, and could see that there could
he 40 one guilty but young man-Mr.
Frank DeetoD, painter-who was al
work 90 the premises. Without using 8
grain of judgment, they arrested this
young maD about ii O'Clock yesterday
morning on the serious charge of robbery
without a scintilla of evidence, and
locked him up at headquarters, and
positively refused to accept bsil; that is,
those in charge of the police station did.
The father and friends Of the young man
appealed to Justice Cation, who not
knowing the case, slso refused to lib
crate the young man. he remsiDed iD
the lookup until $50 yesterday after
noon. II he had been common thief, he
could have been treated no worse. He
never had such q charge against him
before. A son of the lady whose jswelry
WAS missing arrived home late aud she
impaired to him the information that
her valusbles had beer stolen. He re.
marked, "Why, l locked them In the
b ur.'au drawer many days ago." And
vet, these detectives" CD the police
force h1carcerste and try to disgrace a
Young MN OF excellent family without
regard to 0 consequences. Everybody who
drinks WHISKY is not a thief; il 30, then
Alexandria would have a sorry police
force. When the city IL mulcted 10
great damages by such ignorance, than
it will be that those who make policemen
will take notice. ID.

Moors Evaeuate Stronghold

MeIills, Sept. 90 Practically with
out opposition, the Spanish forces occu-
pied Mount Guguru today. This had
been the Moors greatest stronghold, snd
its capture the objective point of the
present Spanish advance. The Moors
evacuated their position on the Gugurn
during yesterday aud last night and only
few shots were fired 10 capturing the
mountain. 1t Is reported that General
Solomayor's force lost heavily In the re-
pulse of the Moors at Elad. The only
fear OF the Spaniards now is that the
hoors will be heavily reinforced and
contest the further advance of the col.
diers. Fifteen thousand Moors from
Alhucemas are said to be enroute to join

The Uniform and Prohibition

Chicago, Sept. 29 is it a vioIslion
OF the army reglla ions for 40 officer to
wear the full uniform OF the army and
march 10 prohibition parade? This is
the question that has been put up TO
SecetsTy OF War Dickinson TO decide. Ii
is the result of protes by w. A.
Michselis, OF the executive committee of
the United Societies for local self.gov-
eminent against participation by Msjor.
General Frederick D. Graut, in the tenn
perance parade held here Saturday.
General Grant, in The army uniform, rode
ct the atad of the parade and later re-
viewed it as 1t passed down Michigan
Avenue. Michseis put the affair direct
ly up to Secretary Dickinson on the
ground that IL was 'unbecoming an off,
Ger" to participate in purely partisan
movement while wearing the regulation
uniform The United SOcities, which
Michselis represents, ia an organization
of liquor interests.
Washington, Sept. 90 Major Gen.
ersl Fred ID. Grant, who arrived ia
Washington today, is not inclined to re-
gard seriously the criticism OF his action
Of lsst Saturday in appearing 10 full I'M
form 10 q temperance parade In Obi
csgo General Grant said that he did
not regard the occasion of his appear
snce as a political demonstration but
rather 9 movement for social bettetmeDt
and as such thers could be no objection
10 his appearing in full uniform. He
said that he was keenly interested 10
any movement which bad for Its aim the
improvement OF social conditions and
that he would appear at any gatherings
of this sort at which he felt he might
exert 50 influence toward this end
There is 20 army regulation regarding
the wearing of the uniform upon which
criticism of Gen. Giants action can be
based AD officer may wear his uniform
at sll times il be likes. The regulations
only stipulate that be shall wear it at
certain times while with troops aud on
occasions OF ceremonies snc General
GRAFT himself stated that there was no
precedent which conld he construed as
standing In the wsy of his action.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPT. %, 1903

WEST VIRGINIA is again playing
for tiue 10 The famous debt'settlement
case. This has been the play OF the
DELINQUENT state for many years-in fact
ever since she attempted to rePndlste
what she owed 10 the Old Dominion.
The Supreme Court of the United States
has referred the matter to Special Master
Littlefeld for report, snd he has heard
q vast amount of evidence sud had set
last Friday for hearing Of argument st
his Office 10 the city OF New York.
Attorney General Anderson and the
other lawyers appearing for the state
made the trip, as did some OF the law
yers for the state Of West Virginia.
The lawyers for the slate of West Vir-
ginis found few errors 10 the printed
record of mole than one thousand pages
and proceeded to raise all sorts OF OBJ
lection. They could not go on, they
declared. until the errors had been
corrected, though 1t was pointed out
that the acts of the General Assembly
from which the tsbulated statements
were made up contained the correc-
tions, they argued for a continuance.
They were willing to do anything ex-
cept to 20 on with the case, which they
msnifestly hope to have continued and
DELAYED till the end of time. The fact
il that the United States Supreme
Court has overruled the demurrer OF
the state of West Virginia, and the
only thing to be determined at
this time is the actual amount to bt
paid. Special Master Little6eld is
growing tired of the delays to which ne
has been subjected, and while he had
hoped to be able to prepare his report
for the coming session OF the court,
there is now little hope that be will
be able to get it in this year,
and it is probable that it will be well
iuto the next year before the court gets
the record. He agreed to postpone the
statement of the accounts, as contained
10 the record, to October 8, and the
argument is to begin and continue from
day to day ill finished on November a.
The case has been pending FOR many
years, and there is no question but that
the state of West Virginia will have to
pay very much more under the decree Of
toe court than if she had accepted the
settlement offered her several years sgo,
but she denied that she owed any part
OF he debt.

THE HARRIS TRIAL.

When court adjourned at $50 O'Clock
at Warrentou, yesterday evening, ex-
c,llent progress had been made In the
trial of Prof. j. D. Harris for the kill.
ing OF Editor w. A. Thompson. Open
ing statements we're made and the taking
OF testimony begun. 1t is believed that
the case will be concluded at the end of
this week.
Richard Evelyn Byrd, of counsel for
the defense, in his statement, said:
CHARTS endured insult after insult, per-
Secution and unrest at the hands of
Thompson.
l. w. Msxheimer, who is a brother
in-law of Mr.. Thompson, was the first
witness called and was subject to
rigid cross.examination by Mr.. Marshall
Mccormick, for the defense, which
lasted an hour. The second witness for
the commonwealth, Wslter Robertson,
took the stand, but was asked only one
question on cross-examlnaiion and the
direct examination Of the witness brought
out 10 strong points for the prosecution.
Neither one OF these witnesses, it is be-
lieved, have added any great strength to
the side Of the prosecution. The whole
trial proceedings are devoid Of anything
sensational aud il is thought now that
the trial will proceed rapidly with
probably termination on Thursday.
