TO JAIL FOR THREE HOURS.

Miss Flagler Receives a Light Sentence and a Heavy Fine.

   WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—Miss Elizabeth Flagler, daughter of General Flagler, chief of ordnance, who last spring shot a colored boy named Green, son of a treasury department messenger, was arraigned in court.

   She pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to three hours in jail and to pay a fine of $500.

   General Flagler paid the fine, and the young lady was conducted to jail to serve the three hours.

   Miss Flagler was driven to the jail in her father's carriage and was received by the warden with great courtesy. She passed the three hours in the matron's reception room in the company of General Flagler and an aunt, Mrs. Winthrop, and was then driven to her home.
