THE HORSES PURCHASED.

Some weeks ago the City Council re-
ferred to the joint committee on finance
and public property communication
from the fire wardens asking an up
preparation Of 5000 to purchase pair
of horses for the Columbia Fire Com
peuy. Some days ago the auditor was
told that the chairman Of the commit
tee on finance and the chairman OF the
committee on public property had
authorized Mr.. Mark J.. Price, jr., to
purchase pair OF horses. The auditors
comment was that it might be we'll for
the committee to at least wait until
Council made the appropriation, and
he would not feel justified in making
payment unless council had its com.
mittes to act. Yesterday afternoon q
bill was presented for $3.50 for pair
OF horses, approved by and signed by
each member OF the committee. The
auditor was surprised and SO expressed
himself and dissented, but not to what
was asked for the horses. But he was
in turn told that sight draft bad been
made and would DO presented for pay
ment today. This draft, OF course,
will be honored. but such customs can,
OF course, as the auditor says, be used
to serve as a precedent and return at
any date to confuse one.

FIRTH CONVICTED.

William J. Firth, of Chester, the
young ticket agent, who eloped with
fifteen -year-old Ethel May Pierce, who
shot and killed herself at the Hotel
Rammel in this city on September IL,
was convicted on three counts in Media,
Pa, yesterday. He acted as his own
attorney. Not only did he closely
question the witnesses, but addressed
the jury in his own behalf. Firth as
serted that the elopement was with the
consent Of the mother Of Miss Pierce,
and he compels the mother to corrobo-
rate his assertion.
In his version OF the clopement, Firth
said that at 2::45 O'Clock on the morn
ing of September 10 last, when he and
the girl went away from Chester. she
had called him on the telephone at his
desk at the station at Chester, where he
was night clerk. He said that she had
begged him to take her away, and re-
ferred to some words she had with her
mother.
Firth described the trip to Baltimore,
then to Washington, and finally to
Alexandria. He told of the arrival OF
the police, aud that his youthful COM
ranjon had shot herself while ne was
in the hotol corridor talking with these
men. He said that she must have
taken his revolver from the pocket OF
his coat, which he had lett in the room.
The jury deliberated about three
quarters OF an hour before rendering
it's verdict, and recommended Firth to
the mercy OF the court.

CHARGE DISMISSED.

A. 7 Payne, constable of Fairfax
comfy. was before the Police Court
this morning to answer the charge OF
dischargine a pistol three times at
William Ferguson, colorcd, on south
ROYAL street near Wilkes, last Satur-
day NIGHT Payne was represented by
Mr. r. d. Brumback and ferguson by
Mr. Robinson Moncure. Ferguson S
stafemept was substantially as pub
l;sLed in Yesterdays Gazette. Payne
sbowed q warrant ho had for Fergu-
SONS arrest for a misdemeanor IN
Fairfax county, and said that as the
electric tram on which he and Fergu-
son were riding was nearing Wilkes
street last Saturday night he told the
negro he wanted him and attempted 10
take him in charge. Ferguson broke
away from him and he discharged his
pistol in order to make him halt. Mr..
Moncure said that the misdemeanor
for which the warrant had been issued
was dated 1908, in which case the
statute of Limitation would bar It's
execution, and furthermore that Payne
had not read the warrant TO Ferguson.
Mr.. Brumback dwclt upon the fact that
Ferguson was resisting arrest and that
the constable committed no offense in
endeayoring to stop him by discharg-
ing his pistol. Justice Cation in sum-
moning up the case said there was no
law compelling all officer to read a
warrant, rs were such a procedure
necessary few arrests could be made. 1t
was. he said, Ferguson's duty to sub
NIT to arrest and bring up the lllnlta-
ton of misdemcanor and other points
at the trial. The officer was not liable
for the consequences when person re-
sisted arrest, and il the former killed a
man under such circumstances he
would be guiltless. He therefore dis
missed the charge against Payne. Mr..
Moncure then said to Justice Cation:
with all due Difference to your honor's
decision, l shall take steps to have
Constable Payne indicted by the grand
Jury" Justice Cation replied, You can
do just as you please about the matter. !"
Ferguson was held for Justice
Wright's court.
