"Old Glorj-" at the Grand.
There are perhaps no two words that ap
peal more strongly to the patriotism of the
American people U:an the tlUe chosen by
Messrs. Vincent and Isrady for their -new
play, "Old Glory," which will be put on the
stage of Allen's Grand Opera House next
week. WLIle necessarily dealing -with the
Littery of our navy, it Js not a war play as
thistcrm is understood uMiallybythelheater
going public. Jt awakens no sectional
feelings, and while full or action and sentl
ment it resurrects no buried issues. It Is a
story of our "lflue Jackets" in Chili, which
will appeal alike to every true American.
The furring scenes that followed the as
sassination of poor Biggin, ia the streets of
Chili, the sensational plot engineered by
the renegade American, Hiram La wton, to
precipitate a war with the United States,
aretlirillinglvdeplctedtnthedevclopmentor
n love story of absorbing interest. Prom
the opening of the plav in the shipping of
fice nt New York and Uie riotous Chilian
rabble, storming the doors of our consulate
and thcperils of a mala rial South American
pn6on. the story carries us -along to the
uttcnipted wrecking of the HaltimbTe, the
escape and final capture of a Chilian
privateer. In a hand to Hand encounter, bya
boarding natty of oar "Blue Jackets."
The cnniedv element of Uie play is well
sustained. The adventures of an enter
prising young American electrician and his
ontanglcments with the darfc-eyed senoritas,
are most amusingly set forth. The-Bcenery
is a special feature. Pour full sets arc re

The case ot J. O. Kerby, cx-cuusul to
Para, Brazil, who, as stated recently in The
Morninc Times extluiiiely, was arrested for
vagrancy, was glen another hearing in
the police cm rt lale yesterday, having been
postponed from Wednesday, to allow the
prosecution to produce more wituesics.
Jire Lockwood, tueproprletrcssof Strath
more Anns, iiuTwelftb strcet.uearll north
west, appeared against lhe prisoner and
testified that JCerliy stnjed at her house fur
a long time, running up a bill of almost
5300.
He gave her time dratu drawn on Mr.
Carnegie, who, he claimed, owed hlmmoney.
Thedraftscameback without being hcnorcd.
He'canie back a second time, and prumised
to pay in adtante weekly. He stayed one
week, however, and failed to pay, and she
put him out.
Mr. LaGetra then testified that in June,
'93, when lie was ruunlrg the Fredonia,
Kerby came and stayed'hee weeks, then
suddenly left without paying his bill. The
next day the witness received a postal card
froniKerby.writteufrofa Baltimore, saving:
"Going with friends to Gettysburg to
spend Bundav, will return Monday.
, "J. OETON KEKBY."
Kerby did not return.
I Mr. C. M. Palmer, who runs a bicycls
establishment, then testified, and brought
out a case of larceny against Kerby.
TOOK THE WHEEL AWAY.
Mr. Kerby entered Mr. Palmer's estab
lishment on the 20th ot August last and
wanted to hire a bicycle for aa hour. He
took the bicj cle out to try the saddle as far
as the corner and the witness said he had
never seen him or the wheel until this day.
As Kerby was not charged with larceny, Mr.
Palmer was advised to swear out a war
rant for him.
In connection with this case Kerby wrote
a queer letter to the PahirerCj cle Company.
It started out as follows:
"A party to whom I owe $21.75 at Kock
villo attempted to squeeze me by pushing
matters on Saturday, when friends were
out of cltj. I had a race of fourteen
miles between wheel and good horse and
1 beat them to the District line, but was
arrested and held for further orders."
He further stated that he was very
particular to assert, always positively, that
tho wheel was not his but rented and
refused to alio wit lobe touched.
A "P. S." was attached telling Mr.
Palmer to call at the Eighth precinctstaUon
for the wheeL
"You will noUce that the clerk at the
station spelled my name J. S. Curby,
which, you need not menUon or alter."
Mr. Kerby was Uien put on the stand and
said he was an advertUlngagentof a cocoa
and rubber company of Mexico. He is an
electrician by profession, author and Jour
nalist. Had written foranuniberofpapcrs.
Mr. Richardson objected to this ancient
history, and cross-examined to prisoner.
He brought out the fact that Krrby had been
here under an assumed name. The pris
oner's lawyer. Mr. Fitts, got lilm to say
and attempted to show that Kerby bad
plenty of means of support.
IN DEFENSE OF KEKBY.
Mr. Fitts read a letter from ex-Deputy
Commissioner of Pensions Lincoln, which
be had received, asking him to defend
Kerby. Col. Lincoln said in his letter
that Kerby, although impecunious, was
a good fellow, aG.A. K.t andasmartman.
Mr. Pitts started off with a quotation
from Tom Hood's "Bridge of Sighs:"
"Alas for Uie rarity
Ot Christian charity."
He made a strong plea for the prisoner,
claiming that if let alone he would right
himself, and wound up by requesUng the
Judge to give him a chance.
Mr. Itlchardson then told the judge tbat
he regretted the man's misfortune, was
sorry for bis high connections, but never
theless ibwisut that the prisoner was
guilty.
"If he Pas means of support, all the
more dishonor to him for living the life of
a vagabond, a beat, and an idler," said
Mr. Elchardson, and requested that the
judgment of the court be pronounced.
-Utebonorsumiucdupth cease, named over
the eight cases of defrauded hotel pro
prietor and the one case ot bicycle larceny,
and as be was there to protect the District
ot Columbia from all such people who were
called dead beats, be required Mr. Kerby
to give bond of $100 ror bis good behavior
or go to the workhouse for thirty days.
It was learned later that the case of lar
ceny was dropped, as the machine was re
turned to its rightful owners and Xerby'a
lawyer said be would have a bond fur him
before the day waB over.
Bankrupt Sales.
There is no doubt that a genuine bank
rupt 6ale hurts other storekeepers, but th
public benefits by them.
The bargains in footwear that are to be
picked up at Etoll's just now, are a good
illustration of this the enormous busi
ness that StoU Is doing must take away H
large amount of trade from other stores,
but any one who avails themselves of this op
portunity to buy good shoes at less than cost
for manufacture will strike a good thing.

missioner Roosevelt, of New York city,
undertook to answer Senator Hill at a

last night, which was under tho auspices
of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union.
He said Senator Hill had deliberately made
himself tho champion of the saloon against
the Church, and lulcl mado It a political
issue. Hill, ho said, believed the rich
brew ers and swarming liquor dealers of the
State, and tho Ignorant yeople who follow
them will outvoto decent men.
He said: "Senator Hill's platform has
for its two chief planks the peraoual lib
erty of individuals to commit crime, and
the personal liberty of public officials to
euforco the Iawvdijhouestly and corruptly.
He stands la favor of tho criminal on one
hand and of the corrupt official on tho
other.
"The personal liberty which be champions
leof the kind which would allow Ibepnvaie
citizen to fell his vote and lhe candidate for
office to buy it; It is the l-crtoiiai liberty of
the police officer to blackmail the taloon
keeper, and the liberty of the taloon keeper
to violate the law if Ue paje&ufficicnt bribe

Justice O'Neill.
CnpLB.F Johnson.aveteranof two wars,
with his title from the rourtli Indiana Artil
lery iu 18GS, had a lively experience
yesterday with Constable Henry U. Bheam
and afi undertaker's bill Incidentally it
very nearly involved a knockout with theun
derlaker. It. W Barker.
dipt Jobuikon came here in 1880 as a
carpeuter in tho Treasury He was ap
pointed from Indianapolis, where he had
lived over thirty year He had some
meatai but about three years ago his wife
ttecame ill and continued so till last February
when she died They had been married
nearly fifty years. In the wife's long ill
ness nearly all their money had been spent.
He lost bis place abou t two years ago
Mr Barker conducted the funeral and sent
a bill for $88 Capt. Johnson was not abls
to pay at once. After a time Mr. Barker
put the bill in the hands of Mr Ilhcaui.of
No. C42 C street northeast, for collection.
Mr IMicam.wllh whom Capt. Johnsonhad
once lived for a considerable time, called
.for the money and what Mr. Johnson under
slood to be a satisfactory settlement was
effected. He turned over to Mr. Bheam a
nolo on Mr Daniel BlrtwcU, of No. 402
Louljiaua aenae, for $175 at 6 per cent
Mr. Kheam went to Mr. BIrtwell with
this and cot $18 cash aiM cotes for ilOO
and $65. These notes were Well se
cured. THOUGHT HIIEAM WOULD I'Al'.
Capt. Johnson understood that Mr, Ithcam
would pay Barker, receiving his commis
sion from that source, and turn rner the
balance, about 560.
On ytalcrday he met Mr. Barker find said
he was glad the bill w a paid. Mr. Barker
replied that It was not paid- He had got
nothing from Mr. lUieani Mr. Johnson
had in the meantime bad his goods jiacLcd
for shipment to his grandson. C. E.
Gelsteudurff, of Indianapolis. When Mr.
Barker heard this he got out an attach
ment. He took It to Mr. IUi-ora, who
refused to serve It. He then turned It
oer to Lonstablo William Swlnburn, who
attached tho goods as they lay at the
Baltimore and Ohio depot.
Capt. JoliCfcon was at Justice O'Neill's
office toscttle the matter when Mr. Barker
came In, and swinging his bill In tho old
soldier's face, bald he had a tnlnd to
bring a criminal prosecution. He icemcd
to be much excited for fear his attach
ment would not hold after the terms made
by Mr. Kheam, as his agent, about the
notes.
Capt. Johnson was deeply hurf, and with
tears In his ejes stepped outside the office
and said to Mr. Barker:
"That Is no place to settle a difficulty,
but if you'll just step out here I'll knock
the wind out of you in two minutes, old
as I am." Mr. Barker declined the la..
vltation.
Capt. Johnson, then, in great distress at
this worry oer the bill for his wife's
burial, excitedly turned to Mr. Itheam and
said he would gle blm the whole amount
of the notes f rom Mr. Birtwell, about SI 60, if
he would ay Mr. Barker the $0S and re
lease the goods.
TOO GOOD A THING.
It then developed that Mr. Biieam only
needed to pay Mr. Barker hilt his bllL
He was to have f0 per cent for collection.
M r. Ba rker had sued for SD0 , and Mr. Kheam
paid him $-18, getting a receipt.

Kheam had made too good a thing out of
the transaction, as be was to have the
$18 each and two good notes for a total
of 31G5, together with interest, all in re
turn for a iiayment of $48 on the under
taker's bill and some costs in tbi and other
suits, la all not more thaan &20.
Constable Swlnburn also was Indignant
oier the matter and denounced Kheam in
unmeasured terms, declaring he wanted the
trantactiou exposed, even if it made every
constable in town lose his job.
Mr. Kheam, whenafked about the matter
last night.refuEed to talk for publication, but
said he was willing to take the money he had
paid out for Capt, Johuou, together with
bis BU per sent on Mr. Barker's bill, less
10 per cent, on the total, and return the
notes to Capt. Johnson. He did not intend
to keep the whole amount due from Mr.
Birtwell.

TROLLEY TRDST'S PROMISE
Some People Believe It Is Like
Pie Crust.
Considerable Doubt Felt a to the In
tention of t bo Eckinston Company
to Hcinove the Pole.
The smoke of (he battle against the trolley
tins cleared up about the police court and
the District Building All the officials
..ave taken a rest while the white flag of
the trolley Is flying over the two buildings
Attorney tor the District Thomas, was
asked yesterday what "was the news, to
which he replied that there was nothing.
He is of the opinion that there Is nownoth
iug to do but to wait and see how the
company will carry out Its promises This
opinion is shared by other officials
All the petitions pro and con, so far as
tho removal of the poles Is concerned, have
been filed. Those favoring the removal
do not think It necessary to press the mat
ter, considering the published obligations
of the company to the courts, the Commis
sioners and The Times
Last eenins there was a report -that
a petition for the retcution of the poles
was again In circulation, but It could
not be located personally. It Is not Im
probable, however, that tho campaign of
obstruction and delay will be continued
by these petitions iu order that the com
pany may use them la case It Is necessary
to hedge when the ten days are about to
expire, or when Congress meets. It may
poislbly occur to the company to endeavor
to persuade Congress that "the people"
want tho trolley notwithstanding the fact
that Mr. Newbold has stated that there is ,
a "public outcry" against It
It is pretty well understood that It will
take vigorous work to remove the poles
in ten days, but the company has said it
can do it in ten days, and for the present
that goes.
