The local branch of the Military Cyclists, an organization of which Gen. Albert Ordway is the President, gave their first dance last night at the armory of the National Rifles. In the center of the stage was a cycle, equipped with all the paraphernalia of this newly discovered messenger service, and on each side the corps flags of the company. Not a few of the guests were in full National Guard uniform, and that fact, together with the decorations, gave the dance quite a military tone. Under the direction of Capt. S. H. Wiggin, Sergt. Arthur Bennett, Sergt. F. Carroll Mattingly, Corp. J. V. Tierney, Corp. Arthur Alexander, and Privates Theodore Michael, Harry Gaither, and R. H. Atkinson, received the guests. The Washington Post, January 21, 1896, pg. 8 To Divide Their Legacy. George W. Thomas yesterday filed a bill against Christian Wagner and others, for partition by the sale of premises, 1129 Seventh street. The mother of the defendants died recently, leaving them only the income on the property. There are debts against the estate, and the property needs extensive repairs, which it would not be profitable to make. Hence the desired sale. The Washington Post, January 21, 1896, pg. 8 CAUGHT IN THE TOILS AGAIN. A Suspicious Trio Now Believed to Be Bond Swindlers. Richard A. O’Neil, John Langdon, and Frank Allen, the three men who were arrested three weeks ago by Detective Sutton on suspicion of having been implicated in a North Dakota post-office robbery, and who were sent to jail pending an investigation, which did not develop evidence sufficient to hold them, were again arrested yesterday by Detectives Weedon and Horne. The officers have kept track of the men ever since they were released, and were certain that the fellows were undesirable citizens. The three men have been hanging about the Central Union Mission, and two or three days ago information was obtained by the detectives which led them to believe that the men were offering fraudulent bonds for sale. It is said that one bond, purporting to be worth $500, was offered to a man for $7. The claim is further made that one good bond was offered for almost nothing. The officers are holding the men on the general charge of suspicion, and hope to be able to develop the case against them to-day.
