The Case in Court.
Franklin T. Sanncr was in the Police
Court this morning charged with driv
ing into and bi caking tho bicycle of
Ldward Fowler. Ho was driving along
F street nnd Fowler todo down Tenth,
nnd turned just ahead of Ihim. Both
men tried to get out of tho other's way
with tho result that tho wheel of the
machluo struck tho horso on tho sldo
and bounded forward, throwing tho
bicyclist Into tho air. When ho
camo down ho alighted on tho
shaft of tho vehicle and clung
to It, while tho terrified animal
began a wild stampede down tho
ciowdcd thiouglifnic. IIo ran to
Seventh street where ho turned, and
Fowler was thrown to tho crouud, tho
wheels of tho vehicle passing over his
body. Ho was not badly hurt, but his
mnchlno was wrecked and ho wants
Sonner to pay for it.
"It is n very nlco question iu my
mind," said Judgo Miller, 'whether
lho horso ran into tho bicycle or tho
blcyclo into tho horse. Mr. Sanncr I
do not think Is liable, except lu vio
lating tho pollco regulations by drivlug

To I'cnMon Disabled Veterans.
Iu dcfeicnco to public desire, ex
picswl nnd Implied, for Information
touching points connected with tho
Washington City public flro service, a
CniTio representative had a talk last
evening with Chief of Flro Depart
ment Charles Pauls at his home, No.
4111 1 street northwest.
Chief Parrls saldi "Tho AVashlngton
Flic Department consists of eight en
glpcs, clchthose-cails nnd two old-stylo
hook-and-lnddcr trucks, with equip
ments. Tho enllio force of men,
including truckmen, watchmen and
all, numbers but 119 men. Of
these two aro disabled and unfit for
duly, through long service, and arc de
tailed as watchmen. A number of
ethers havo becomo so old, or otherwise
disabled, as to be almost useless, which
has tho effect of gieally weakening tho
tho force. Theso men cuter tho flro
service nfter passing a rigid medical ex
amination and upon certificates of re
sponsible physlclnns. They havo de
voted tho best years of their lives to
the public, aud have becomo disabled
by wounds, exposure or declining years
from longer being useful as firemen,
nnd what aro we to do? Turn them
Into lho street? Well, hardly.
"I havo fiequcntly, In fact tlmo,
time and again, continued the veteran
chief, warming wl(h his cherlshcd.sub
ject, "recommended Congress to pro
vide n fund for tho pensioning of dis
abled District firemen, but they havo
dlsiegarded my report. The conse
quenco is thnt one dollar is reserved
liom the pay of each flicman monthly
to pension two disabled comrades anil
also to create a small reserve fund for
others who arc suro to follow. If you
will walk over with me to thoJInssa
chusetts avenue enciue-house I would
like to show you my printed report to
Congress for 1889, In which I earnestly
pi ess this mntter of pensioning nnd rc
tlring'ccilnin fiicmen in order that the
service may be strengthened by now
men in their places. I also recommend,
and have dono so repeatedly year
after year, an increase of tlio force from
ten men to a company to twelve. I
have lepentcdlj pointed out that ten
men nicjust two too few, making the
work too laborious and consequently
loo slow for those engaged. A less
number than ten men cannot work a
fire apparatus effectually with much
moic success than one man can run a
locomotive.
' 'The New Yoi k Flic Dcnai tment con
tains between 900 nnd 1,000 men, yet,
thnt is a crowded city, and contains
more people to the ncre than auy city
in the Union, while Washington con
tains very, vciy much fewer peoplo in
proportion to its size than any city In
the world."
The chief 's rcpoit on file nt the en
cine house bore him out in his state
ments legnrdlug his recommendations
to Congress.
FIIOUI.D HAVE nriEHK UXCIINES.
"You will notice," ho continued,
"that 1 also leeommcnd an increase of
the number of engines. Wo should
havo In this city not less than fifteen
instead of eight, and six trucks of new
and improved pattern, instead of two
old ones. The city is growing too fast
aud Is getting away from us. and the
ground to get over is entirely too much.
Comparisons show that we make the
fastest time in America, but yet tho
inns are too long.
"Not a word of complaint against
the Firo Department has reached our
ears In connection with tho late calam
ity at lho Tracy mansion," remarked
Chief Pan Is. while a slight shade of
annoyance clouded his fnco, "but a
falso impression prevails In somo quar
ters to Iho effect that we havo no nets,
aud if wo had had them at the lato lire
the loss of life would not have occurred.
Now, however badly we may need
some kinds of equipment, wo aro sup
plied with nets. There is a good net
to each lire company and ono with each
ladder and tiuck, and they wero all
at lho Tracy fire. It hns always been
my rule to
SAVU HUMAN LIKE KIHST,
and propeity afterwaid. No one saw
Mis. Tiacy jump, or fall, and theieforo
no ono could have saved her. Her fatal
diop was made before any engine or
liuck arrived, but if netshad been ou tho
ci mind tho proper way to rescue her
fiom that height Woultl havo been by
laddcis. Tho two ladies' who jumped
from lho bay window were warned by
truckmen not to do bo ns it was danger
ous, but to keep cool and they would bo
rescued by ladders. Naturally becom
ing frightened, however, nt the fire,
smoke nnd breaking glass behind them,
they jumped, rcsulllng In tho broken
arm of ono of them,
"It was unfortunate that this flro
caught In the room it did. The library
was n beautiful room, finished side
walls nnd ceilings in beautiful oiled
woods. Notnbifof plaster any whero
as big asyour thumb nail, and of course
it burned like tinder. I cannot help
thinking thnt the butler, who discovered
the flic in this loom, ran away in his
fright, leaving tho door open near the
staircase, up wuicu me names imme
diately shot."
nU'EUT KIIIEMEK.
"I live a good distance away, upward
of a mile, but when I got tho alarm my
rig was ltady as soon as I was. I drivo
veiy fast, and when I got up on K street
nnd saw whero it was, I diovo faster.
I dout think I was more that four
minutes making the run. As soon ns I
arrived, foreman of No. 1 told me thcro
were peoplo Inside. I dropped every
thing, leaving the men to take caro of
tho tire, ran to Seventeenth street
thiough tho alley and Into lho base
ment of tho Tracy mansion. I found a
back stair, and crawling up this as best
I could I entered a back bed room on
tho second floor and theio found Secre
tary Tiacy lying upon tho floor uncon
scious, lhaslily dragged him luto tho
bath loom near, whero tho smoke and
flro was less stilling, and started for tho
top of tho main stairway to order tho
men to turn tho water up towaid me, as
our aventto of escape was being fast
eaten away by the llames behind me.
Whllo making for tho btalrs, I
BTDMUI.ED OVrjn A IIODV,
which proved to bo Miss Tracy. I
groped down oiul got hold of her
wrists to pull hep away, but tho burned
flesh slipped from tho poor lady's
wrists nnd I lost my hold. Quickly
taking puch ingt ns wero not burned

atoiiud her wrists nnd pulled lier nway.
Calling for help, Foicman Chnrles H.
Boss of No. 1 took ono log, Prlvnlo
Mehnney took the other, whllo I held
both aims. Wo carried her down the
back slaliway to a placo of safety, but
she was dead. Wo quickly returned
for llio Secretary nnd took him down

I'lirkvr Trent of llio Itepnlr Shop Pro
moted Alter u Wook'rt Work.
In justice to tho management of the
mnll-tag repair shop, It must be said
that It rewards lis friends. Mr. Parker
Trent, who hns been employed there
about n week, and on the strength of
his Intimate knowlcdgo of tho work
ings of tho shop acquired in thnt time,
wrote a defense of its methods, which
was printed In this paper on Sundny.
Mr. Trent showed that the walls of the
dressing-room were wooden nnd not
duck, nnd thnt the blind woman was
stringing sacks and hnd given up
mending them. Ho also proved that,
as tho room Jn whtch tho women
woiked was ninety feet long, sixty feet
wido and eighteen feet high, there
could be no dust or dirt and thnt every
thing was dona to make it pleasant and
comfortable for all.
Ho failed to deny that women had
frequently swooned over their work;
that tho sacks camo covered with all
sorts of filth; thnt the mud dropned off
iu cakes; that there wero nearly two
score holes in the sacks at times; tiinl
one sack was in such a bad condition
that when it was showed to Captain
Cullen, nfter it was mended, thnt gen
tleman saldt "I didn't think it could bo
done." Thero were various other de
tails Mr. Ticnl failed to mention, but
he made out as good n case as was pos
sible. He has been promoted. lie is
now an Inspector of sacks. Faithful
work brings quick reward.
Tho condition of nffnirs in the repair
shop have been made somewhat easier
during tho past week. The room has
been swept clean daily, sprinkled nnd
dusted. But the dlit nnd dust fiom
the sacks remain.
The statement prepared by the man
agement of the shop, stating thnt tho ar
ticles published in The Ciutic were
false, has been sent to the Poslofllcc
Department. The women were asked
to sign and there were few who had the
ueive to refuse. It was merely a cor
roboration of what Captain Cullen and
Colonel Whitfield hnd declared In print,
and it would have been discouitcous, to
say the least, to havo refused to confirm
their statements.
Mr. Ticnt's demands for affidavits
will be satisfied. Thoy will appear in
due time. At present the women arc
afraid almost to say that their souls are
their own for tear of being described ns
"meddlers" nnd "fnult-findurs," nnd,
of course, "persons prejudicial to the
good of the scivice." Just as soon as
protection can be assuied sworn state
ments will bu ready. The Ciutic has
gone into this matter to discover the
truth, no matter who may be hurt.
MANAGER 11AHNIE IS TOWS,
IIo Talks Willi Vrosltlent Younc About
liascbiill Matters.
Manager Barnie of tho Baltimore Club
came over this morning to sec Presi
dent Young of tho National League to
lay before him the position of the At
lantic Association in reference to the
Worcester Club. This club was origi
nally a member of the Atlnntic As
sociation. Sometime ago it left this
association and went into tho Now
England League. Now it lias left the
League and gone back intu the Atlnntic
Association.
Picsident Lang of the Hartford Club,
In the New England League, has writ
ten to President Young that, as the
board of arbitration recognized Worces
ter as belonging to the Now Englnnd
League, the Atlantic Association hns
no right to break the alleged status by
buying out the slock.
Manager Bainio thinks thnt as the
Atlantic Association pays 200 a club
for tho protection of the national agree
ment it has certain rights which will
havo to bo respected.
President Young said this morning to
a Ciutic man he thought, as the board
had recognized tlio right of the clubs
to leave the Atlantic Association nnd go
into the New Englnnd League, it must,
out of consistency, recognize their right
to leturn.

Two Hundred Saloons Doing lliisluess
Without Local Sanction.
Tho delay of tho Commissioners in
disposing of applications for liquor
licenses Is causing the police nud tho
courts a great deal of trouble, aud there
nro uow in the city nearly 200 saloons
doing business without a license.
It begins to look ns if some
of these saloons will continue to
do business tho entire year without
a license. It has been done before, and
such a caso was in tlio Police Court this
morning. Nicholas Lochbcolcr was
charged with keeping nn unlicensed
bar, and Mr. Joseph Shillington, his
counsel, declared that ho was not in
tho least molested by tho pollco during
thnt time and was not onco arrested.
The license is still pending. So for
over fifteen months this saloon has been
selling liquor without n license nnd tho
pi oprietor continues to ba investigated,
"It has taken tho Commissioners fif
teen months to look after tho man's re
cord," said a policeman, "and Hcavcu
knows how much longer they will be.
What are we to do under the circum
stances? It's no use in making an ar
rest." Tho caso was coutlnued iu order to
give tho defendant an opportunity to
get a license.

cus to settle the question of the pro

Northeast Washington hns a sensa
tion which, in ninny respects, resembles
lho Bello Brown rhystcry, which was
fo long the talk of tho city and so com
pletely bnlllcd the detectives. Nearly
two weeks ago Miss Ada Mockabce, n
young woman who lived with her
parents nt 004 K street northeast, dls
appealed from her home, and all the
cilorts of her relatives to discot or her
whereabouts havo failed,
William Mockabce, the father of the
missing gill, Is an cx-member of lho
AVashlngton pollco force, and now
works at his Irade ns n carpenter. He,
with his wlfo nnd daughter, occupied
a coinfortnblo little home nt the above
mentioned nddress. After supper on
Iho evening of Jnnunry 23, Ada left
tho house, saying Hint she was going
out for n walk and would be lu again
shortly. Since then neither of her
parents have set eyes upon her.
NO ATTKMPT TO FIND HUH.
Slrango to say neither of them seem
to hnvc made any great effort to find
hor for somo tlmo nfter her disappear
ance, nnd the matter has not been ro-
poited to the police. The parents seem
to have been of lho opinion that tho
girl had taken a notion to stay away for
n while owing to temporary unpleasant
domestic relations, caused by tlio fact
that her father had been drinking
heavily, and that she would return
home afler a short sojourn with friends.
Thoroughly nlarmcd, however, nt her
prolonged absence, they lccontly insti
tuted inquiries at the houses of nil tho
friends where they thought the girl
might have sought an asylum, and ills
covered that she had not been at any of
them. She took with her from her
home none of her personal effects be
yond tho clothes she wore, nnd, so far
as Is known, had no money in her pos
session. A Critic reporter called on Mr.
Mockabeo at his house, but that gen
tleman, whllo admitting that his daugh
ter had disappeared and that lie did not
know her whereabouts, positively re
fused to say anything further about tho
matter. Some of the neighbors, how
ever, pioyed more communicative.
Among them Ada Mockabce's strangu
dNappcnianco has been a prominent
topic of conversation for ten days past,
and the parents are severely censured
by I hem for not sooner inking steps to
ascertain what had becomo of her.
SHC HAD A 1YC.VU.
The prevailing opinion nmoug them
was that there is a man in the case, and
that the girl had eloped. For somo
time past it has been whlspcicd about
the neighborhood in which she lived
thnt Ada had a "beau," and that he
didn't cotno to tho house to sco her. but
that the pair met frequently clscwbeie.
Another theory advanced Is that of
suicide. Ada, it seems, is a girl with u
geutle disposition and refined tastes and
lond of poetry, one of her fnvoritu
books bcinc Ella Wheeler Wilcov's
"Poems of Passion," a well-thumbed
copy of which, with her name written
on the title page, lay on n table in this
neat Utile pallor of the Mockabeo
house when the lcpoi ter called. To it
girl of this character her homo life
must at times have been very unpleas
ant. Her father, it seems, is In the habit
of going on sprees, and while under lho
influence of liquor is very quarrel
some, so much bo that his" wlfo lias
sometimes been obliged to leave the
house for a time. Somo of tho neigh
bors, knowing' that Mockabce had been
drinking about the time Ada left home,
arc of opinion that this had so picycd
upon her mind ns to cause her to com
mit suicide. Some boys, however, le-
Eorted that a few days nfter she lert
omothcy met Ada one evening on
Judiciary Square walking with a black
whlskcred young man. This would
seem to lend color to the elopement
thcoiy.
qUAUUELS IX THTJ FAMILY.
When tho leporter called at tho
Mockabce house the mother of the miss
ing girl wns absent, and ho learned
fiom one ot the neighbors that she had
had a quarrel with her husband on Sat
urday, which had resulted in her oncu
more leaving tho house. She left be
hind her an infant child, which was
cared for over Sundny by a kind-hearted
neighbor, who, ou the following day.
found that Mrs. Mockabeo was stopping
with a Mrs. King on II street, and sent
tho child to her. The reporter called
at Mrs. King s shortly niter uis unsatis
factory interview with Mr. Mockabeo,
but learned that her guest hnd just left
for home. Retracing his steps hu
found Mrs. Mockabeo seated lu
her dining-room apparently on thu
best of tcims with her husband,
who, however, refused to allow her to
tall; to the reporter. As the latter was
leaving ho relented sufficiently to hint
that he had received a clue that his
daughter was in Baltimore, and that he
would leave for that city at onco.
"Come In this evening," he added,
"and perhaps I may havo some news
for you."
The missing ghl is about IS years
old, of medium height, has brown hair
and hazel eyes, a trimly built figuie,
and n plcnsiug countenance. No more
accurato description of her costumo
when she left home could be obtained
thnn that she wore n small hat, dark
dress, and short, dark wrap. Shu
seems to havo been a general fnvorito lu
tho ncighboihood in which she lived,
nnd the greatest auxtety Is exprescd
by those residing thero ns to her fate.
