Old Time Distriot Republicans Sit
Down on the MoKinley Boom.
Alao Adopt Resolutions Asking Con-

District A ttnolih on tlioTolioo.
The "old bojs" of the District Republi
cans sat down -verj' hcavilj' bub paternally,
last night, on tho McKmley boomers at
Booker's Park.
The most significant event of the meet
ing was the reading of a letter from Aaron
Brookshaw, chairman of the Republican
Central Commitlee or the District, to Col
Perrj' Carson, in which Uie former said
that it was well known that there bad been
in the District for some time tho agents
of a certain Presidential candidate, who
were "armed with the sinews of war."
He hoped that tlic meeting would put the
seal of its disapproval on any movement
that would attempt to forestall the action
of the national convention.
It ha aWJn well understood on the
inside, how ever, tha. UheMcKinley Leaguers
have a candidate of their own, Mr. It. II.
Keja, aud at the recent meeting of the
league there was a good deal of talk about
new blood and jouug blood, meaning the
retirement of Col. Perry Carson.
Col. Carson presided and made the opening
address. He assailed the policy of a hand
ful of Republicans in the District who were
trj ing to shape the national policy anduame
the President. Sueli assumption would
make them thelaughJug btockof the nation,
no admitted that he would tcne, if re
elected, but wouldu't kick it he were
fairly defeated.
The buiden of his speech was that the
colored Republicans bliould align themselves
with that Presidential aspirant who would
come the neaiest to guaranteeing the,
colored race their civil and political liber
ties and privileges.
Col Carson then branched off and at
tacked a certain clasB of the police of
the city and their way of dealing with
colored prisoners He characterised them
Hsassassms, and thanked God Ahnigiit j that
the colored jieople had at least a friend in
Commissioner Truesdell
The next speaker was Mr Richard Laws.
He also counseled a waiting pollcj in the
matter of booming candidates He also
attacked the police
Resolutions were orfered by Mr. Richard
T. SmiUi and adopted, which ask Congress
to restore stiff erage to the people of the
District, pnn ide for the appointment of a
committee requesting the promotion of
Policeman Clinton to Uie position of ser
geant, and thanking Uie Commissioners for
their appointment of three colored men on
the force.
After a (short speech from "W H Treeman
the meeting adjourned. The committee
referred to aboe was not appointed last

After their usual evening tour among
the alums the wagon vas driven up in

anil gentlemen In the wagon, led by Mr.
George "W. "Wheeler, sang several appro

The presence of the wagon attracted a
number of passers-by, and quite a service
of song was held, although It lasted but
a few minutes
The wagon was then driven to the Mis
sion headquarters on Louisiana avenue,
where mission services were held
"Wo are giving this little serenade,"
said Mr "Wheeler, "to show our admiration
for Tho Times and gratitude for the good
work it is doing. It adopts the right side
in overj thing, and vc feel that we, as well
as every other class, have a stanch, true
fnond in tho paper. "We desire to make
public our appreciation of its efforts, and
ve thought that this little serenade would
be the best way to do it.
"Wo are just getting ready a branch mis

Tlnrteen-and a-half streets, which will be
called 'The Open Door,' and which is de
signed to shelter homeless girls and those
who are leading a life of shame. The de

related in The Times show s plainly the need
of such a place in that neighborhood."

His Threats Against the trolley
Stirred Dp Mr. Ritlout.
PEOTESTS WERE FRUITLESS
Judge Miller Huled Thut tho Ptosc
untor Could Contlnuo to Illlo tho
Counsel For tho Barons Delay "Will
Cost tho Eckincton Com puny a
rretty Penny Every Day.
The caso against the Ecklngton and
Soldiers' Home U ml way Company, charged
with occupying public space for private
purposes in maintaining trolley poles along
New York avenue within the city limits,
came up before Judge Miller in the police
court jesterday, and the motion to quash
the information was argued by Prosecut
ing Attorney James L. Pugh and Mr. John
Ritlout, the company's attorney.
Mr. W. Kcsley Schoepf, the vice presi
dent and general manager of the company,
who, with Mr. Hamilton K. Gray, was
charged in tho information with main
taining the nuisance, wan in court. Mr
Grny was ill and unable to appear.
Mr. Pugh explained to the court Uiat
the company was charged with obstruct
ing the avenue in question under the law
of 18G2. He said that he understood the
attornej for the company, Mr. Ridout,
intended to file a motion to quash, but he
had not seen the document.
Thereupon Mr. Ridout read his motion
to quash, setting forth that the informa
tion did not stale any facts which could
consUtute a violation of the law s in force
in the District of Columbia. He also
said -the facts constituting the offense
for which the company was then being
tried v ere outside the JurisdicUou of the
court.
SAID IT WAS DEFECTIVE.
ne further stated that the information
was defective inasmuch as it alleged that
ou a certain tlay the defendant did occupy
public space for private purposes y erecting
trolley poles and stringing wires thereon,
whereas the wires referred to were strung
many years ago.
Mr. RJdout stated in his argument that
the trolley poles and wires were permanent
fixtures, allowed by law in accordance
with charters to the company, and were not
in any Fense obstrucUons within the mean
ing of the law. He read a number of au
thorities to maintain his stand and called at
tention to the abnormal character of the
ordinance of 1862,underwhichtheprosecu
tious were being made. It himply stated,
he said, without any UmltaUon, that no
public street or avenue should be occupied
foranyprlvatepurpose. Mr.Ridoutclaimed
tha t Uie charter of Uie compauy repealed Uie
ordluance so far as they were concerned.
Mr. Pugh began his argument by stating
to the court that there seemed to be but two
questions upon which it wa& necessary for
him to dw ell. The first one waa the reason
ableness and validity of the ordinance, and
tho second waa how it waa affected by Uie
charter rights of Uie corajjaoy. He then
read from section 222 of the Revised
Statutes. D. C , showing that it was
almost verbatim with the District ordi
nance, aud referred to the case of the
District vs. Monroe, of a similar nature,
in which the defendant was held.
In his opinion in that case, which Mr
Pugh read, Justice Cox held that any ob
struction intended to remain permanently
upon a street or avenue, was in the nature
of occupancy inhibited by an act of Congress
and by the ordinance ot 1SG2, and could
be removed by the municipal authonUes
In referring to a decision of Judge Kim
ball in the cases against the linemen who
were charged also wiUi occupying public
space for private purposes. Mr Pugh made
use of the term "lower court "
HE MEANS "WHAT HE SAID
"By lower court jou mean the court held
in lower rooms, don't you?" inquired
Judge Miller
"No .sir," replied Mr Pugh, vehemently.
"I mean lower court in the fullest sense
of the term
His honor smijed and the hearing con
tinued The court suggested, however,
Uiat the thermometer was alwut played
out. and it might be well to bring things
to a crisis .as 1 1 w ere
Mr Ridout then suggested that Mr. Pugh
file a new information, changing Uie de
fects referred to, and that the motion to
quash hf acted upon and the case go over
Judge Miller overruled the moUou of the
company, and conUnued the case until this
afternoon at 1 30 , when Uie argument will
continue.
During Uie hearing Mr Ridout fre
quently manifested his annoyance at the
repeated assurances oT Mr. Pugh that a
new information would be filed against
the company each day the poles were al
lowed to stand, and finally appealed to
Judge Miller to check the naggiug prose
cutor Tbe court decided, however, that
Mr Pugh could make that statement as
often as he liked, aud the subject was
dropped.
Mr Pugh has had the poles between
Seventh street and Boundary counted,
and has found that Uiere are forty-five
If itbecoines necessary, hesaysthathe will
file a separate information for each pole,
constituting forty -five of Tense's a day,
and as each offense is punishable by a fine
of .50, forty -five such fines everv day
would eat up the profits of the company
He is prosecuting the case vigorously and
oays that the poles must go

Fully 500 of them, with almost as many
more young people of the same denomination

Church last evening and listened to after
math speeches of the successful conven
tion. Neither the warm weather nor Uie weari
ness necessarily following attendance on
the convention slackened Uie enthusiasm
of those present and songs and adelresses
together with an informal social before and
after tbe formal gathering caused the even
ing to pass pleasantly and all too ep&l7
for the guests.

from almost every available nook in the
church, and a happy arrangement of
palms formed th-deeoratIoud They had

THEIR SPIRITUAL "WORK.
The j oung people devote most of the time
givn to the society to work of a spiritual
nature, and more tune is devoted to a study
or tho Bible than to social pleasures.
The convention held last year in Toronto
she said, had gone far toward strengthen
ing the religious work of the young people
or the Province.
As Dr. "Wallace retired from the room in
order to catch a tram, the meeting gave a
hearty rendition of "America," that merged
into the song"The Tie That Binds.

dividing-l'in- in-religion in "Walmgton.
