A GALLANT OFFICER
Dropped Troni tho ItollH oftho I'ollco
Force An Instnnco In tho Career
or Officer I.nslicy.
Bravery is deserving of recognition and
Toward at all times, although it not infre
quently happens that such recognition is
not bestowed, Tho recent polico changes
call to mind n few incidents of bravery In
tho caiccr of Officer Qeorgo Luskoy, who,
though a halo and hearty man still, has
been on tho forco for sixteen years, bcsiilos
having previously mado a brilliant record
as a soldier under Gonoral "Pap" Thonras,
tho hero of Cbichatnauga, O Ulcer Luskoy 's
pluck has mado him a terror to tho ovil
doers, and tliero is perhaps no officer on tho
forco who has been in moro "tight places,"
or mado moro difficult arrests, than ho.
Several years ago ho was sent to a notori
ous brothel in Kast Washington to arrest
tho proprietor, Chris, llohlayer, who mado
bold in- saying upon all occasions that ho
had killed soveral policemen, and would
novcr bo taken alive. Officer I.U3koy
entered tho place, and was met In tho hall
way by Bohlaycr, who held a rlflo in his
hand. "Como another stop, and I'll shoot
you," exclaimed tho latter, excitedly. Hut
Officer Luskey spraug forward to arrest his
man and at the samo instant tho gun was
discharged, tho ball entering Luskey'a loft
breast, passing through his body. Still ho
mado for Bohlaycr,wbo clubbed tho rlflo and
dealt tho officer a powerful blow on tho head.
Covered with blood and with his coat
on flro from tho nearness of tho
rlflo when it was discharged, Officer I.uskoy
knocked Bohlaycr down with his baton,
dragged him from tho houso and carried
him to tho station-house. Ofllcor Luskoy
is still ono of tho heartiest men on tho
force, except occasionally slight troubles
from ills tcrriblo wound. Uo has a largo
family. Thcro is no charge against him,
but tho Chief of Polico has decided that ho
shall bo "honorably discharged," and ho
must go.

coolness which recently sprung up
between that gentleman and Mr.
Maco aud Mr. Slado. Tho combination of
pugilists of which theso two wero tho bright
stars started on a tour of this country at
Mr. Fox's expense It was understood that

Logan and Cullom by upholding Collector

THE STAK-ROUTE TRIAL.
Krr KonlluucH Ills Talk About llio
IIoutcH A Htory About tho Altor-nry-dcucral
Ihiiphutlrnlly Denied.
Upon tho Star-llouto trial bolng ro3umod
this morning boforo Justlco Wyllo llr. Kor
cnntlnuod his oponlng to thejury la bohalt of
tho Government, lie took up tho Canyon city
and Tort McDermoit route and rovlawod tho
papers and testimony offered In connection
with this route
Tho discussion of this routo occuplod until
nearly recess time, and that ot Mineral 1'irls
and l'lochowns taken tip.
Mr. Iter, niter tho Intermission, spont somo
time In reading tho mall bills on tho Mlnoral
Tark riocho route.and then gavo his version of
tuo testimony, ruo next routo to wuicn tuo
attention ol tho Jury was Invltod was that
from Tros Alamos to Clltton.
Uo was still on this routo when this report
closed, and will not union to-day.
Attorney.Gonoral Qrowstor has mado formal
application to Judgo Wyllo to bo altawod to
tako part In tho closing argument In tho Star
llouto cases. Morning paptrs.
Justice Wyllo, upou nelng nskod this morn
ing about It, said that ho had not rocolvod any
communication whatovor from tho Attorney
General and had not had any conversation
with blm on tho subject.
A little later, In tbo courtroom, Mr. Car
pontcr asked Mr. Merrick whethor such an ap
plication had bconmado by the Attornoy-Qou-oral.
"Thoro Is not a damnod word ot truth in It,"
iorciDiy ropirou air. iuerrics.
As tbo Attorney-General has fallod to appear
In court during tho entlro progress of tho
trial up to tho present, and no application has
been mado In open court for him to be per
mitted to partlclpato In tbo argument, It Is
evident tnat no formal application has boon
mado. Therefore tho announcement Is at
least premature.
Subsequently Mr. Merrick camo to tho re
porters and said "that tho statoment In tho
morning papors that tho Attorney-General had
mado such an application was totally false,
and thero was not ono word ot truth In It. llo
could not understand how such a statoment
camo to bo mado public
THAT COCKFIGHT.
Tho I'nrllclpnuts to bo Arrested nuil
Prosecuted.
When Major Dyo got Tun CitlTia last
evening and read tho account of tho big
cock light on Monday afternoon within
two squares of his offico ho was somowlnt
surprised, and resolved not to lot tho con
test of tbo feathorod champions go un
punished. Tho act of Congress of 1871, to
moro effectually prevent cruelty to ani
mals in tho District contains tho following
clauso :
Section 0. And bo It further onactod, that
any person or lnjinuus wuu num. iiuu,, ul usu,
or Innny way be connected with or lntorostod
In tho management of, or shall rocclvo m inoy
for tho admission ot any porsou toanyplice
kept or used for tho purpose ot flghttugor
baiting ot fowls or animals may bo arrested
without a warrant, as provldod lu section G of
Iho charter ottho S. r. O. A., otc.
Tbo penalty is Imprisonment in jail not
exceeding ono year or lino not exceeding
$2oU, or both.
On this law Major Dyo this morning or
dered tho prosecution of all parties who
could bo proved to bo, under tho law, aid
ers and abettors in Monday's brutal per
formance. Officers wero put to work on tho ca30 aud
witnesses to tho affair hunted up. Charges
will probably bo prcforrcd against soveral
parties, and at least against tho owners of
tho placo whero tho fight took placo.
Tho oldest polico officials sa;- that thoro
never was a law against cock-fighting in
tho District until 1871, and sinco that timo
tbey havo known of very fow fights within
tho city limits this being tho first big con
test for years.
Tho New Nchool Buildings.
Tho bids for tho four school buildings,
which wero accepted, aro entirely satisfac
tory to tho authorities, and tho contracts
aro being prepared. Of tho othor two
buildings, that on tho Bladcnsburg piko
will havo to bo abandoned until an addi
tional appropriation is mado for tho pur
pose. Tho ten-room building ou Capitol
11 ill has been reduced to au eight-room
building, and tho bids for its erection will
bo opened on Monday next, tho last day of
tho month.
Tho law provides that this building must
bo nuder contract by May 1, and that tlto
opening of bids must bo advertised for ono
week. Tho rejection ottho original bids
was made on tho 23d instant, leaving just
ono week beforo tho 1st of May.
For this reason tho bids will havo to bo

ANDERSON MURDER TRIAL.
Proceed 1 11 gs nml Testimony After
Itcccss.
After tho rcccs3 James McDcrmott was
called. Witness was tho barkeeper in tbo
Clrclo House, whero tbo bomlctdo took
place. Carr camo into tho bar-room with
James Pulaski on tho night of December
31, 1681. Thoy took boor, and after thoy
had drank he advised Carr to go homo and
not drink any more. Witness thou went
to tbo water-closet nnd met Anderson com
ing out. Anderson asked who it was said
ho had something In his pocket.
Witness told him nobody. When
Anderson went Into tho bar
Carr said to Anderson that ho could
whin him. Tho next thing ho heard wasa
shot. Pulaski got between them, Cirr
staggered and fell down by tbo stove. Tho
witness picked him up and asked if tie was
shot. Pulaski said ho thought not, ho was
only drunk. Witness bad been spoiktng
about tho first shot. Tho shots woro llrod so
fast . that ho could not count thorn.
Witness told Josh to stop shooting. Shots
wero fired after Carr had dropped.- At tho
timo ho dropped ho was facing tho door.
Tho defendant was standing by tho sldo of,
tho door. (At this point witness described
at length, ou tho plat, tho positions of all
tbo parties In tho barroom, ) Carr novcr
spoko from tho timo ho fell. After tho
shooting ono bullet was found In tbo
dining-rooni.'whcre'.tho deceased was carried
and laid. After ho was shot, and on tbo
following Monday, ono was found In tbo
floor of tbo barroom, Carr mado no demon
stration toward tho defendant that tho
witness saw.
Cross-examined by Colonel Cook Wit
ness did not with his own eyes sco tbo first
shot. Ills back was toward all tho parties
at tho timo tho first shot was fired. Wit
ness did not know whether tho first shot
fired struck Carr or nol. Whcu Carr said to
Anderson that ho could whip him, Ander
son had not said a word to him.
William Ednard Pulaski was noxt called.
Uo had known both tho defondant and tho
deceased. Ou tbo night of tho homlcido ho
went to tho rc3tauraut whero tho shooting
took placo by himself. Carr was thcro
when ho went in. Witness and Carr went
out. but returned in about twenty minutes
together. Saw Anderson como out of tho
water-closet and bo asked who it was said
ho had something in his pocket. Carr then
said: "Josh, you know I can whip
you." Witness thon heard tbo
report of a pistol. Witness got between
Anderson and Carr. Anderson shovod him
out of tho way ; did not rcaliza that thcro
was any difficulty at tho timo for tho rea
son that everything was dono so quick ; did
not sco tbo pistol. Witucs3 helped to
carry Carr out. Thoy first took him out
doors then back in tbo dining-room.
Cross-oxamlncd by Colonel Cook Whon
Carr fell, witness supposed ho full bocauso
ho was drunk. When witness nnd Carr
left tho bar-room tbo first time, Carr said,
"I will kill Josh Anderson, yet, O d d u
him." Witness said to him that Anderson
had something in his pockot, and might
kill Carr. This was about twenty minutes
beforo tho shooting took p'acc. Witness
thought Carr was drunk, and did not
know what ho was talking about. Did
not know whether or not Carr mado tho
remark becauso ho was drunk.
Colonel Cook asked tho witness If ho had
over heard Carr say auytblng about nearly
killing Anderson ou a previous occasion
witn a stono.
Tho Distrlct-Attornoy objoctcd, and tho
Court sustained tho objection.
James H. Miller, colored, called. IIo was
employed nt tbo Circlo IIouso at tbo timo
of tho killing. Saw Mr. Anderson nnd Mr.
Carr at tbat placo prior to tbo shooting.
Anderson camo to tbo houso about G p. m.
tho first time. Witness was iu tho kitchen
nt tho timo of tho shooting. Heard tbroo
shots. Carr was dead when ho camo In.
Heard ono shot after bo camo In tho bar
room. On cross-examination but ono question
was asked, nnd tbat was as to tho places
whero tbo ball which was picked up on tho
barroom floor was found, Uo stated It wa3
near tho ccntro of tho room.
E. N. Burgess, an officer of tbo Metropoli
tan Polico, was tho noxt witness. Uo ar
rested tho defendant. Defendant camo up
to him and another officer and gavo him
Eclf up.
Thowitncsswas not cross-oxamlncd.
Alexander McDonald, another officer,
was called. Ho was with Officer Burgess
when tho arrest was made. Tho defendant
said to him, when asked what ho had dono
with tho revolver ho did tho shooting with,
that ho had pnt it in ills overcoat pocket
and had given it to somebody. Could not toll
what ho said tho namo of tbo person to
whom iio gavo It was.
Tho defenso did not cross-cxauitno tho
witness.
This closed tho caso for tbo Government,
Colonel Cook thcil stated tho loading points
for tho defense. Self defenso Is tho plea for
tho shooting, being forwarncd of tho pur
poses of Carr.
Thomas Lovo wa3 tho first witness called
for tho defense. Ho was acquainted with
Carr, tho deceased.
Colonel Cook asked tbo wltncs3 if ho had
ever heard tbo deceased muko any threats
against tbo defendant.
Tho witness started to say ho had on tho
very night of tho homicide, but tho Dis
trict Attorney objected, aud upon tbat
point a long argument ensued.
Tbo Court overruled the objection of tho
District-Attorney, and permitted tho wit
ness to answer tho question. Tho witness
said tbat on tbo very night of tho homicide
ho heard Carr say that ho was watching
Josh Anderson, a sou of a b , and
that ho would havo his heart, damn
him. That was about 8 o'clock.
Ho said ho would havo his heart out beforo
ten o'clock that night. Uo said ho would
tako Anderson's heart to Foggy bottom
tbat night.
On cross-examination Mr. Lovo stuck to
his examination iu chief.

A PAPAL PROHUNCIAMENTO
EitjoiulnEr Obedience lo tho Poncrsi
Hint bo ou alt Iood Irish Catho
lics. London, April 23.Tho latest Papal ut
tcranco concerns Irish affairs, and gives
great satisfaction to both tho English Gov
ernment and tbo press. Tho Popo dccltrcs
it to bo tbo pressing duty of tho Catholic
clergy in Ire-laud to ercrt thomsclvoi to
ward suppressing disloyalty, both from
sense, good policy aud for tho sake of tho
interests of tbo church and God,
dwelling upon tbo latter motlvo. Tho
declaration states that lu no country iu tho
world has tho church In tho truest sonso
becu so successful as in Ireland, whllo faith,
purcty and virturo are groat and Catholic
education is cxtrcmoly fruitful In results
over tbo entlro globo, Tbo Popo warns
Irish Catholics that as tho healthy condi
tion of tho church lu Ireland Is largely duo
to tbo extreme liberty of con
science allowed tho Irish by tbo Govcrment
to which tbey aro subjects, and which is
Protestant, a liberty which is dcclarod to
bo much greater and moro thorough than
is aceoided to Catholics by any other non
Catholic Government, any widespread
symptoms of disloyalty to tbo Gov
ernment which has been so generous
must result lu such resentments
by that Government as will in
variably curtail tho freedom now enjoyed
and greatly thwart tbo prosperity of tho
church in Ireland. Organizations forrael
for tho purpose of cither overriding law or
undermining tho lawful authorities aro,
therefore, denounced as enemies to tbo
good of tho church. Individual or organ
ized attacks upon authorities or tho
lawful government aro prohibited
as acts inimical to the interests of
tbo church and contrary to tho
profound gratitude which is tho roal spirit
to bo entertained by tbo church for tbo
English Government. Tho pronouueia-'
metito conclndcs with tho expression that
whllo tho church hopes tbat all trua
friends and tho church everywhere
will do their utmost to conform thoir
political conduct to -tho religious
interests as outlined abovo, the Popo fools
it to bo bis solemn duty to enforce thes)
precepts into practice so far as It lies in I1I3
power, aud to that end ho gives notlco tint
