Tbe Official Records Disprove His Statements as to tbe Department ol J ustice. BUT FEW CHANGES IX THAT DEPARTMENT, AND THOSE IN POSITIONS NOT UNDER THH CIVIL SERVICE LAW. The official register of the Department of Jus tice shows that the statement of Senator Hoar, made at the republican state convention ol Massachusetts yesterday, that "every faithful servant of the department, from the law clerk down to the charwoman," had been removed in violation of the civil service law, Is not true. The only changes made by the Attorney Gen eral were in his personal staff, and even in these confidential places, where it is conceded that he had a perfect right to make changes, many ol the old employes have been retained. Not an employe whose position is within the classified service has been changed. A reporter of The Star was given free access to the official regis ter, and was told that anybody could examine it who desired. The only new appointments made were one solicitor general, Mr. Goode, of Virginia; one as sistant attorney general, in which case a demo crat was dismissed and another democrat put In his place; six assistant attorneys and two ex aminers and a special agent, Major Strong. All of these are confidential places. In the case ol the examiners there were originally seven. Mr. I Garland reduced the number to four, appointed two new men and retained two old ones? I Fisher and Hlrshell. The list of retained in cludes all the rest of the employes. Mr. W. A. Maury, one of the two Assistant At torney Generals, retains his position, and will I continue to do so. The same is the case with Chief Clerk Clay, Law Clerk Hodges, law clerk I and examiner of titles Alex. J. Bentley. The pardon clerk is still there. The stenographer was requested to remain, but could not be in duced to do so. Disbursing Clerk Ewing still re tains his place. Besides these there are 3 fourth class clerks, 3 third class clerks, 2 second class clerks, 5 first class clerks, 7 copyists, 1 tele graph operator, 1 engineer, 1 messenger and 3 assistant messengers, including ?oleman, who has been there since 1865, 2 watchmen, 3 fire men, 2 elevator operators, 5 charwomen and 1 laborer, who will not be disturbed. This includes all the employes, except 3 laborers, who were removed for cause. Not a charwoman has been removed, nor will there be if they perlorm their duties properly. \mong the third class clerks is a colored man who has been there lor some years, and another colored man holds a 91.200 clerkship. All these facts were open to Mr. Hoar, 11 he desired Infor mation before making the statement. Reorganising the Civil Service Com* mission. PROP. GREGORY'S RESIGNATION?A CONFER ENCE WITH THE PRESIDENT. Prof. Gregory, of the civil service commis sion, has formally tendered to the President his resignation as a member of the civil Bervice commission. He contemplated such actlou some time ago, but deferred until Commis sioner Eaton's resignation had been acted upon. Commissioners Eaton and Gregory hnd a long conference with the President yesterday after noon. It is believed that the President is now devoting considerable attention to the reorgan ization of the commission at an early day, and the session of the cabinet on Tuesday was mainly given up to its discussion. WHAT PROF. GREGORY SAYS. A Star reporter to-day called upon Prof. Gregory, of the civil service commission, and inquired about his resignation. He replied that he had tendered his resignation, and added: "The facts are simply that some weeks ago I stated to the President that he might want my resignation and that it was at his disposal at any time. Day before yesterday I more formal ly notified him that my resignation was in writing and at his disposal when he wished It. In talking to the President I said: 'I love this cause more than I care for place and I stand ready to put my resignation in your hauds whenever it shall be desirable In your judg ment and for the good of the cause to accept it.' The President replied that if he should accept it, he would act in the same spirit in which it was tendered?for the good of the cause. My sole motive is to leave the President perfectly free and unembarrassed, believing as I do that he has civil service reform at heart and will act only lor its promotion and success." Prof. Gregory remarked that he was not actuated In his move by any adverse criticisms. He said he had not read such criticisms and did not be lieve that they called for any notice at his hands. He had faithfully discharged his du ties and was willing to stand by the record. He had not beard anything from his resigna tion, or as to what action would be taken upon it. COMMISSIONER THOMAN Is in San Francisco, where he is holding civil service examinations to-day and to-morrow under direction of the commission. He will start for Washington next Saturday, and is expected to reach Washington about the last of next week. It is not known here whether he will tender his resignation or not. The Navy Department Accounts. PROGRESS OF THE INVESTIGATION UNDER THE EXPERT ACCOUNTANT. It is stated at the Navy department that the investigation of the accounts of the different bureaus is being continued under the direction of Mr. Calhoun, the expert accountant. The work on which he is engaged is of two kinds, the establishment of a new system of accounts and a thorough investigation of the different bureaus of the department. These two divi sions of labor are being pushed along as rapidly as possible, but from the magnitude of the task the progress Is necessarily slow. Tbe new sys tem of accounts is designed to relieve the bu reaus to a great extent of a duty not naturally Incident to them, to centralize the account keeping in the department and to modernize it. It is aUo intended that the new system shall help the accounting officers of the Treasury, as it provides lor an audit of expenditures before the accounts for the same reach these officials. A similarity of systems in the book-keeping be tween the department and the fourth auditor's office would be a very effective preventive of lraud and collusion. As respects the Investiga tions of the different bureaus they will proceed as rapidly as possible, and the expert expects to devote his whole time to it after being relieved of the duty of setting the accounts in good order. A vast mass of material has been accu mulated, and it has to be all gone over care fully. The force at work under Mr. Calhoun has been recently increased by the assignment of four clerks from the different bureaus of the department. ?o? The Bear.?Tbe sealer Bear, which is one of the vessels of he Greely relief expedi tion's now being fitted out at New York for use In tbe revenue marine ser vice. Considerable alterations and repairs will be reqdired. It is expected that she will be ready to be put In commission in a few weeks. Lieut. O. C. Hamlet, U. S. H. M., has been or dered to superintend the work on the vessel, and w*.U be her executive officer when she is ready for service. Her other officers have not yet been selected, she will relieve the steamer Corwln on the Alaskan station. Coixjred Boys Held for Shooting.?Four revolvers and a pile of cartridges laid on the prosecuting attorney's table in tbe Police Court at noon to-day, and were used in evidence against James Moten and John Johnson,young colored men. charged with shooting Abraham Flint, also colored. Flint testified that while at Rock creek on 8unday previous to August 10th a boy shot at him, ana on the night ot tbe 10th he went to the park near 18th and T streets, to see if he could find tbe boy who shot at him. When witness left to go home the defendants Slowed him, and when several squares had an passed Moten said, "I am tired of follow ing the of a let's kill him," and Imme diately fired at him, the ball entering his groin. Witness said they at first requested Film to tell his name in the park, which he refused. John ion, he Mid, also fired at him. After hearing other testimony the court sent the case to the pand Jury; bonds, f&oq The Weather During September.?Tbe ilgnal service meteorological summarytor Sep tember shows that the highest temperature reached during the month in Washington was %2g?5riif?,jsE!\ zgsssnnsi the special messengers start. Inaugurating the Hew Service at the City Poet Office. AN EARLY MORNING SCENE AT THE OFFICE? THE FIRST LETTER DELIVERED?INSTRUCTING THE BOYS?HOW THE LAW WILL BE CARRIED out in this crrr. Orer a soore of boys assembled in a room In the basement of the city post office at seven o'clock this morning. The boys ranged In size from little fellows in knee breeches to tall and slender lads approaching sis feeet. Overhead trucks were rolling and the work of getting out the morning mail was in rapid progress. Postmaster Conger appeared on the scene with a fresh morning glory In his buttonhole, and descended at once to the basement or cellar room where the boys were congregated. Superintendent Bell, of the city delivery, was also on hand, and the clerk who was to take charge of the corps ol special messengers,for these boys were the mes sengers selected to begin the new service this morning. A long table and a number of benches were placed about the room. In the corner near the door leading out upon C street, a short counter or desk had been improvised, and be hind this the clerk took his station. A large book to contain the record of letters dispatched by the messengers was spread open upon the counter. A number ot smaller books, the sire of pocket memorandum books, to be used by the boys when delivering letters, was also lying on the counter. INSTRUCTING THE BOYS. The clerk called the boys up and assigned to each a number corresponding with the number on the delivery book. Then Mr. Bell made a speech to the boys, telling them briefly what their duties would be, ana read the "instruc tions to messengers," as follows: All letters, when turned over to a messenger, must be delivered with the utmost disrmtch. Messengers must be orderly and well-behaved iu the office and while delivering letters. No messenger will be retained in employment who is not prompt and faithful in the discharge of his duties, and who is not respectful to all persons with whom he has business. Letters must in every case be delivered to the person addressed or to some one specially au thorized to receive his mail. In the absence of the addresses or any one having such special au thority from him the letter may be delivered to any responsible member of the addressee's lainily, or any partner or clerk of his, or to any responsible person employed iu his office, or to the officer or agent 01 any firm, lncori>orated company or institution to which addressed. The person to whom a letter Is delivered should sign his name In the last column of the book and enter the precise time of delivery iu the column immediately preceding. If there be any postage due, postage due stamps to correspond to the amount must be affixed to the letter, and the amount must be collected by the messenger and turned over to the Post Office. Messengers will not be allowed car fare or other expenses. This delivery book must be left at the Post Office after each trip. Care must be taken by the messenger not to Injure or soil it. Mr. Bell went on then with more particular advice. It would be easy, he said, to get on the wrong street, as the numbers between differ nt cross-streets corresponded on parallel streets. The most experienced carriers, he said, some times made this error. "Keep your eyes on the corner lamp-posts," interjected Postmaster Conger. Mr. Bell then turned to the letter shute through which special delivery letters are dis spatched from the city delivery division, and took out THE FIRST LETTER received. It was addressed to a gentleman at The Evening Star office. It was put into book No. 1, and handed to messenger No. 1, who happened to be a young gentleman in a Derby hat, named Joseph B. Johnston. He started up the stone steps on an easy jog, and quickly disappeared. Two other letters came down, and were quickly dispatched, In a simi lar way. While these boys were gone, Mr. Con ger and Mr. Bell talked over matters. Now and then one of them raised his voice to deliver some lnjunctiou to the boys. For example: After a few minutes' conversation with Mr. Bell, the postmaster suddenly called "Boys!" The boys stopped talking, and then assumed an air of attention. "You will be careful," said the postmaster, "not to get whitewash on your clothing. You will notice the walls have been newly white washed." The boys near the walls shied out to wards the middle of the room and low conver sation was resumed. As only eighteen deliv ery books had been received from the depart ment, seven of the twenty-five messengers were sent home with instructions to return at half past three In the afternoon. The eighteen were kept on duty, because the postmaster did not know what demands might be made on the corps during the day. Meanwhile messenger No. 1 returned from his trip. His delivery book showed that he had delivered the letter to The Star office four minutes after it was given to him. He said to a Star reporter that no one had waylaid him, or attempted to obstruct or hin der the delivery of the mail. He did not run; he walked. One of the boys said they would not make much mouey if they had only one letter a day to deliver. A SPECIAL "DROP." Postmaster Conger said that a big placard will be put up over one of the slots or "letter drops" in the public part of the office announc ing that local letters for special delivery shall be dropped there. The letter will full upon a' special compartment upon the big receiving table In the dispatching room and be separate from ordinary letters. They will be turned over at once to a stamper, stamped and thrown into a box. The stamper will have a bell-cord at his hand, which he will pull, and a messenger will carry the letter or letters over to the delivery room, where they will be dispatched down the shute. "It will not be two minutes," said the postmaster, "alter a letter is dropped through the slot before It will leave the office. If any one makes a mistake and drops such a letter In the wrong slot, it will not be more than five minutes before the letter Is reached." It was expected this morning that later in the day the special delivery business would pick up considerably. One man who came to the office with a letter bearing a special delivery stamp, said he had kept the letter three days so as to be sure it would be delivered quickly. The clerks and carriers in the office were not accustomed to the stamps this morning, and did not in every case notice them. The instructions of the Postmaster General require that In mak ing packages of letters the special delivery let ters shall be put on the outside, so that they may be handled at once. This injunction not yet been strictly observed. XESSENGERS AT BRANCH STATIONS. Postmaster Conger thinks the servloe will be used largely for local letters. Messengers will be stationed at the branch offices in West Washington and Capitol Hill and on F street, near 15th. He could, be said, keep the boys at the main office for a day or two until they are familiar with their duties and then send a num ber to the branch offices. The boys will deliver letters anywhere within the city delivery, and an effort will be made to so alternate that each boy will have a fair chance. It is thought the bankers and other business men in the neigh borhood of 15th street will patronize the ser vice at the F-street branch considerably. the messengers not making much tet. Up to one o'clock to-day only twenty-eight special delivery letters had been received and delivered. In cases where letters were re ceived at the branch stations to-uay, messen gers were sent from the main office to get them. Of the twenty-eight letters, sixteen were local letters, four were postmarked at the East Cap itol stations, and the remainder were from out of the city. The boys had had about two trips each. "Tell the people," said one of the small boys to a Star reporter, "to hurry up and mail some letters." Another boy said, in a very ser ious way, that if business did not improve he would be forced to tender his resignation. "Why, I haven't earned enough yet," he said, "to pay for my dinner, and at the end of the month, at this rate, I wouldn't have enough to get a pair of shoes.'* The boys were all hopefhl, however, that spec ial delivery letters will become more plentiful when the public has learned all about it. Messrs. Stevens and Cook are the clerks de tailed in charge of the^messenger service.

In the following: extraordinary language, to the management of the department of justice. He said: "When in the turned out to make place* for political adherents, and the president neither Interfere!* nor remonstrates, but retain:* the officer as his trusted confi dential adviser and guide to construe tlie civil service itself, like all othern, for all the depart ments, we are constrained to say that the Pres ident is res|io!isible for that art as if he had done it himsel:." It Senator Har had taken any pains to verify this statement he would have found its utter falsity, and that few changes have been made and those In places regarded as confidential. As will be seen by referring to the news columns of The Star, only fifteen changes have been made in the department's pay roll of sixty persons, including three laborers who were removed for cause, and a stenographer who was urged to remain but would not con sent to d si>. And, what is more, there is the' best authority for saying that no turther re movals are contemplated, save, possibly in one or two special cases. There may be just grounds for censuring the administrations' course towards civil service. In some respects, but such intemperate and un founded assertions as those made by Senator Hoar will only hurt those who utter them. On the same day. also, on which Senator Hoar was Indulging in what, perhaps, may leniently be called careless criiiHsnis, the administration gave three distinct instances of its desire to conduct the civil service on a high reform level. The President requested Dr. Hamilton to with draw his resijnatlon and remain at the head of ihe marine hospital service; he decided against sterling, the obnoxious weigher in the New York custom house, and extended the civil service rules to cover the office in dispute; and Donovan, the Chlcagootllce-holder, who was re cently elected president of a political club in lhat city, lound it expedient to resign that posl iion in consequence of the action of the Post 3fti~.*75 FRANKLIN SUITING. 2&.

The exam 1 nation will test the knowledge of candidates in military affairs. The division will be under the direction of the adlutant general, and In a general way It will be lor the purpose of collecting information with regard to the strategic points near the coast of the L mted States, places for instance like Cuba, the West Indies, etc. It is said, in belmlf of such a bureau, that the success or the Prussians and the BVanco-Prussian war was largely due to the fact that through a system of this sort Germany had accurately informed itself of all the points of strategic importance in Prance and knew the topography of the coun try, in a military sense, perfectly.

Tnis morning one of the transparencies ear ned on the street under the direction of the Printer*' union, used In connection with the strike at Gibson Brothers, stood la ^heoornw of the Police Court In the courtroom were a sembled a number of printer* and member* of trades unions Interested In the strike. The *r? of Mr. Edwin Blake, chairman of the siisnlsl committee of the Typographical Union, was called for trial. His counsel, Mr. J. H. Ral ston, entered a plea of not guilty. Mr.'Blake was enarged, under section 0, oi "an act for the preservation of order and the protection of property." The information charged "that Edwin if Blake, did on September 30th, on Pennsylv* nla avenue, then and there with other penons congregate and assemble at the oorner of avenue, and on the foot pavement, and at the of a Private building, to wit: house 1238, which is Gibsons' printing establtah ment." Mr. Padgett said to the court that the defendant was charged with obstructing the foot pavement of Pennsylvania avenue and the entrance to a private building. THE TESTIMONY. Lieut. Arnold testified that yesterday about noon he answered a call, and upon going to the scene of the strike dispersed a crowd which he found on the sidewalk. Later in the afternoon. he said, another transparency came up the ave! I nue, and the crowd which congregated obstruc ted the sidewalk on the south side of the ave nue. Another crowd stopped on the opposite side. Business men had complained to wit ness about the crowd as interfering with t heir business. Witness made inquiries, and defend ant said that he was responsible lor the trans parency and dtrected the colored man's move ments. Witness had the defendant placed un der arrest, and he left $10 collateral at the sta tion. He then promised to stop the business until this case was decided. The defendant he said, positively refused to remove the obstruc Hon. MR. GIBSON'S STATEMENT. Mr. William Gibson testified as to the crowd which was on the pavement and to the tran sparencies which had been carried for two days. He said there were about flay men directly in front of the office. The colored man came up on the pavement with the tran sparency, when one of witness' employes put him away. The neighbors, he said, had com plained. On cross-examination Mr. Gibson said that It was offensive to tils employes to see the fact of I the boycott announced on the transparency. Mr. R. T. Hieston testified that his horse was frightened by the crowd. Mr. W. B. East on testified that the crowd was assembled on account of the transparency and the probability of its getting broken. Mr. W. B. ^tinemetz, whose store is opposite Gibsons testified that when the transparency came up the avenue the crowd which assem bled obstructed the entrance to his store and he had to reouest them to leave. Mr. J. L. Whittington and Sergeant Perrv also gave testimony. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. Julian L. Wright, a member of the Typo graphical union, was the flrtst witness for the defense. He testified that the last transpareney appeared on the sidewalk at the corner of 12th street and made Its way up to 13th street. There were about fifteen or twenty persons on the square. The transparency, he said, was fol lowed along the square by two police officers. A* hen it arrived at Gibson Brothers, Mr. Wm Gibson was standing in front of the office and the transparency was carried to the street and carried along the square several times. There were twelve or fourteen men in front of Gib sons. Witness said that Lieut. Arnold then came along and said to witness. "You ao knowledge the responsibility for this?" and he answered "I do." Witness was ordered under arrest, but was released, and Blake was then arrested. The transparency destroyed yester day had on the four sides the name of Gibson Brothers, and it also stated the names of the or ganizations which were assisting in the boy cott. The colored man who carried the trans parency. he said, was employed by the defend ant and was instructed to stop for no one ex cept the police. '?How many transparencies were destroyed?" the judge inquired, and witness answered "Two." p^esn-oyed but not suppressed," added Mr. "I hope not," said witness. THE ARGUMENTS. This closed the testimony, and counsel for defendant argued that he violated no law. Mr. Padget argued that the case had been made out and that more than the usual fine should be imposed. He said: "The charge is obstructing the foot pavement. The defendant assumes all responsibility for the consequeuces ol carrying the transparency. There seems to be some business difficulties between the prin ters and Mr. Gibson, but they must be settled so t hat no breach of the peace is committed and so soon as the parties violate the law they must expect to suffer the consequences. The delendsmt's eouusel says that the word "boy cotting" is innocent In Itself and not calcu lated to excite a disturbance; but It Is well known that such word and what it implies have caused outrages and murders in other countries, and the court should, In the begin ll,s down on demonstrations of this kind, and In. this case Impose such a tine as will let persons know that they cannot settle their private disputes by creating a breach of the peace. This is a free country, and every man lias a right to conduct bis business as he pleases, provided he does not Interfere with the rights of others." THE JUDGE IMPOSES A FINE OF 95. Judge Hnell, in disposing of the case defined the charge, and said that in this District per sons are not permitted to assemble In crowds on the sidewalk. It is usual for the police to at firet notify the persons. On this occasion it appears that the obstructions had been kept up until two transparencies had been smashed and two breaches of the peace had been caused It was quite evident that It was Intended to keep up the obstruction. In the legal sense of the word it was an obstruction, but he thought nothing more than the usual fine?$5, was necessary. A fine of f 5 was imposed and an appeal noted. THE TRANSPARENCY MOVIS ON. After the proceedings in court the transpa rency was taken out by a colored man and again started on Its rounds. The colored man marched up Pennsylvania avenue to 12th street, then turned up 12th street and halted at the printers' headquarters. Here he was in structed by Mr. Wright, of the printer*' com mittee, to march up Pennsylvania avenue to loth, then to New York avenue, then by various streets to the Government Printing office and return to 12th street. He was tola to walk in the roadway. The man started bravelv forth. He took the north side of the Avenue as he passed Gibson Brothers. No demonstration was made against him. Mr. Wright said the committee had taken legal advice, and also consulted with Lieut. Arnold, who said his men would not molest the transparency-bearer if he moved on through the streets and did not parade in front of Gibson Bros, more than was neces arv in passing over his route. Members ot the printers' committee expressed little or no resentment at Judge Knell s decision in finine Mr. Blake. WHAT THE PRINTERS SAY. "Judge Snell was as fair as Judge Snell can be," said Mr. Wright. "He is biassed against worklngmen. He imposed the fine on the ground that two disturbances had already oc c"rr*d' ..and to send another transparency to Gibson Brothers gave evidence of a malicious Intention to provoke a breach of the peace. On this assumption his decision was fair. He im posed the lightest fine possible. We hold, how ever, that his assumption was wronsr and that the act committed did not constitute offence with which Blake was charred ?We have agreed," continued Mr. Wright, "not to do anything in the way ot a breach of peace. e will keep within the law. If a member of the committee Is assaulted with a pistol he will stand and be shot before making an assault. By such a course we would have the sympathy on our side. We have bad big, powerfulmen volunteer to carryour transparencies and engage to defend them against all comers, but have de clined the offers. We do not propose to adopt any such policy." THE COMPLAINT OF THE PRINTERS. A member of the committee of Columbia Typographical Union In charge of the strike made to a Star reporter the following state ment of the causes leading up to the present issue: "Some ten^ears ago the union was forced into a fight with some of the employing printers of this city in resisting a reduction In wages. The union was worsted, and eventually reduced its scale 16% per cent, so as to make the price per 1,000 ems for composition Of plain matter SO cents, the price now fixed by law of Congress for the Government Printing office. This not proving satisfactory to the employers, after a protracted struggle the union, by resolution, suspended the operation of the ftO-cent and permitted Its members to work for 40 oenta per 1.000 ems. During these difficulties many members threw off their allegiance to the union, and were reinforced with additions f?w abroad. The employers formed a union amonc themselves and established a soale of prioes for the payment ol their employes. This scale waa more arbitrary than any the Typographical Union ever enforced, inasmuch as permitted the employers to pay their workmen by one scale and charge their patrons by another These encroachments bore so harshly on the employes, becoming more galling every dav aa additional restrictions were sought to tie placed upon them, that, in self-defense, nearly every man who had placed himself beyond the of the union sought rnartmlsslini andwasre celved again into fUll fellowship. The union hf1** ^2" strengthened, informed all e5l pi oyer* that, on and after a specified date, as they had never authorised or countenanced its membership in working for any re duction other than that prop^fonSd to 40 cents per 1,000 ems, no member would remain In their employ who did nAt react ve this rate.

To-day in the Criminal Court, Judge Mac Arthur, a colored boy named Edward Scott was arraigned for housebreaking?robbing the Junk house of D. K. Cady?aud pleaded guilty. "Why did you break Into this place," asked the court. "I wanted some money, answered the prta "Were you ever arrested before?" was asked. "Yes. sir," was the reply, "for breaking out of the station house." _. "For breaking out of the stationhouse? asked the court. "How did yon get there?" asked Mr. Taggart. "Went there for lodging, sir." "Weil." said the court, "the sentence Is one year in the penitentiary." Frank Rollins, for housebreaking in the day, two cases (residences of Eoward D.

Donaldson, was arraigned, aud denying that bis name was Parry, pleaded guilty. He was found at the time with a curiously contrived rope ladder, arranged so as to be lolded like an umbrella. Several other Indictments were found against him. He evidently had an Idea that by pleading to this one the others would be overlooked. Detective Block and Officer Murrill informed the court as to his arrest and his character. While Mr. Block was making his statement Moore said he was guilty of but one case, and was not In the city at the time of the Donaldson burglary. The court made the sentence three years in the penitentiary, and Moore returned to the dock thinking hlmseli fortunate.

EDWARD a WE8COTT, 1 ?lOt LOUIS D. WOUC, I CITY AND DISTRICT. Tlie Bone* of J am bo. SOKE DOURT ABOUT THEIR COMING TO THK National museum at present. The fnte of Jumbo, or what is left of the great elephant, has not yet been decided. The bones of the big beast were to come to the National museum, which had a sort of grave-yard insurance policy upon them. Mr. Barnum, how ever, seems to have perceived that the dead Jumbo, after being so well advertised by the thrilling accounts oi his death, published In every nook of the earth where there is a print ing press, is about as valuable for show purposes as the live Jumbo. In fact. Jumbo dead lias several advantages over Jumbo living. Dead ho costs little for his keep, and can be divided in two, furnishing an attraction for two "Great est Shows on Earth." His hide can be stufled out, making oniS Jumbo which can be sent in one direction on the road, while his skeleton may be articulated and sent in another direction. This appears to be the plan which Mr. Barnum has devised for Jumbo's remains during the coming vear, but against which Prof. Baird.ot the National museum, pro tests. A Star reporter whoconsultcd the oracle of the section of mammals at the National museum yesterday, was Informed that Jumbo s bones could not properly be prepared for articu lation and preservation without soaking for nearly a year. Hasty preparation would do in jury to the skeleton. Then, again, a skeleton of that size, rolled about the country for a year on railroad cars would be very much damaged by wear and tear. Prof. Baird, it is understood, is stUl in corresjKjndence with Mr. Ward, of Rochester, aud Mr. Harnum, respecting the dis position of the bones, and may rescue them from their impending fate. The Washington Navy Yard. REASONS TTRGED BY THE KNIGHTS OF T.ABOR FOR REPAIRING THE SWATARA HERE. The petition presented bv the executive com mittee of D. A. 66, Knights of Labor, to Secre tary Whitney yesterday, us stated in The Star, asking that the contemplated repairs to the United States ship Swatara be made at the Washington navy yard, said: "We make our request with greater freedom because we be lievc the best Interests of the government will be subserved by having the repairs made here. The Washington navy yard has a splendid and complete equipment, and every convenience exists for this work. The capacity of our me chanics is not excelled in any navy yard in this country. The rate of wages here is more favorable to the government than elsewhere. The superior effectiveness of this yard has been proved by experience. Its work has been thor ough and satisfactory, Its record ?s free from scandals such as have discredited other yards, and it has no charges of extravagance, incom petent management, bad workmanship, or political chicanery against it. If the Swatara is repaired here it can be done under the super vision of the Navy department, and the good service rendered for the money paid will be a useful comparison with the history of the Mo hican. Iu view ol the ample facilities of our navy yard in the matter of machinery, mechanics and all other essentials, we are unable to repress the belief that the consid erations ol public utility, which ought to have kept it in full activity, were foreed to give way to considerations of partisan advantages when other vards were continued In preference to ours, we have no votes with which to bribe or menace the administration, and, in view ol the cumulative evidence that this administration makes the public weltare its chief motive, we should have neither occasion nor Inclination to support our plea In that manner even if legally qualified. We may be pardoned, however, lor the suggestion that the unjust suspicion and false charge of political maneuvering, which are sure to be raised against the Navy department if the Swatara Is repaired elsewhere, cannot be conceived nor uttered by the most violent par tisan if the work is done here. The Swatara should be repaired at the Wash ington navy yard, because of its ample facili ties, and by the naval artisans of the District of Columbia "and Alexandria, because of their capabilities, good record, necessitous condition, and the past unjust discriminations against them."

The Night School Projeet. APPLICANTS FOR ADM ISSION STILL REGISTERING THEIR NAMES, BUT NO FURTHER ACTION TAKEN. Names of persons desiring to enter a night school are still being registered at the Franklin and Sumner school buildings, but 110 further steps have been taken towards opening the school or schools. The number already largely exceeds the limits of what would properly con stitute one school. The register was opened at the request of a number ot ladies who were Interested in establishing a night school, and desired to co-operate with the school authorities in the project. The object of the register was to determine whether the number of those who would like to attend such a school was suffi ciently large to Justify opening it. No further action has, however, been taken. Super intendent Powell thinks that such a school should be established in this and every city, to afford educational ad vantages to young people wno are obliged to work during the day. Such schools, also, he thinks, ought not to be confined to teaching merely reading, writing and arithmetic, but provide^ with facilities for instruction in me chanical drawing, and other studies, especially usetul to the boy who has to work for a living. Tue deficiency in the appropriation lor the sal aries of teachers may embarrass the school board in providing an equipment for such a school at the public expense. A member of the school board, speaking of the matter to a Star reporter, said he saw no reason so far as the law was concerned why such schools should not be Included in the public school system. The law does not define the hours during \}-hich schools shall be open. Fall Meeting: of the Jockey Clnb. WEIGHTS FOR THE HANDICAP RACES FIXED.

The Capital Bicycle club proposes, with the aid of an appreciative public, to make the usual success of its regular fall races, which take placc to-morrow, October 2, at 4:15 p. m. A program of eleven races has been arranged, in which are entered all the best men of the District, including Crist and Barber, with their Springfield laurels yet fresh, Hanna, Seuflerle, Brown, and others. Entered in all the open races Is C. E. Kluge, ot Jersey City, who, riding as a novice at Springfield, astonished all by win ning the mile race, 3:10-class, In the remark able time of '2:41 and the half mile, l:30-class, in 1:17. He rides a Star machine, and is prob ably able to get more speed out of that machine than any rider in America. He will be a for midable opponent to Crist and Hauna. A novel feature introduced here for the first time will be the "lap'" races. The peculiarity of these races consists in the fact that the num ber of laps won determines the winner, and not the positions at the finish. The effect is to make the nice a constant spurt lrom start to finish. Nearly all records were beaten at Springfield in this chou of races. In the club five mile cup race, Howell Stewart, if he wins, becomes absolute possessor of the silver cup which has been won twice by him, onoe by B. W. Hauna, once by J. M. Borden, and is now held by \V. E. Crist. Crist also holds the Wood ward A Lothrop two -mile handicap cup, though Stewart has also won It once. Another novel feature is the race for safety machines in which Stars of 42 inches wheel and other dwarf machines are allowed to compete. A tandem tricycle race of half a mile al?o has its place on the program. The track, which has been somewhat cut up by constant training, was put In perfect condition to-day. The sur face cannot be improved. Always excepting the half mile track in Springfield, the Athletic park path Is the best in America. The Capital club has issued invitations to the other local clubs to participate in the usual parade which, commanded by Capt. L. W. Seely, will start from the club house at 3:45 p.m. for track. Iu the evening after the races the club, by Invita tion of Manager Grant, will visit the Washing ton rink in uniform. The officers of the day are Referee 8. T. Clark, of Baltimore; Judges Francis H. Noyesand M. M. Crenshaw; timers, J. West Wagner and Max Hansman; recorder, J. E. learning; starter, H. S. Owen.

There will be three entrance? Into the Inidy of the church, one at the southern extremity of the east aisle, one in the tower at the northeast corner of Un church and one at the north end of the west aisle. Dividing the nave from the chaucel will be a lofty arch, und on each side smaller arches, di viding the aisles from the transept*, in each of which opeulngs are two steps. In the east tran sept the choir and onanist will be seated. Kach of these transept* isoivided from the church by an arch. Another arched opening and step lead to the inner chancel-place devoted to the holy communion. The soul h wall behind thecoui inuuion table will bo beautifully ornamented with carved wood, over which a triiiple lancet window will be pierced, and which, it is hoped, will receive rich stained glass. South of the east transept will be the organ chamber, with lofty arches separating It from tiie chaucel and east transept. South of the west transept will be the vestry. The remainder of tbe site, the southern portion, will lie devoted to the cliapel.titl feet by 54 feet 0 Inches, whicli is intended to be com pleted with ail dispatch.so that the church servi ces may be temporarily carried on therein,while the main building is in progress. From the chap el there will be a stairway leading up to the In fants'class room and library .over the vestry and west transept. There will be two o|>enlugs filled with tracery through which the little ones may follow the service II they desire. The cellars will be reached by stairways from chapel and outside nearorgan chamber. The church Is de signed in the geometrical Gothic period. It will be mainly constructed ol dark red brick. The arches, columns, shafts, capitals, etc.. will be formed of buflM-oiored sandstone. There will be an open timbered roof to both church and ch ipel. The church will be uell lighted by windows in the clear story and side aisles and elsewhere; the windows "will be filled with tracery, and, it is honed, with stained glass. The cost of this building will lie $;ih,3oo. to which price must be added a considerable sum representing the value of the material In the present building, which becomes t lie property of the builder. Messrs. Cassel and Law are the architects, and Mr. Wm.C. Morrison the builder. It Is proposed to place an organ to cost $5,000 in the church. THE HISTORY OF THE PARISH.

His design contemplates an heroic size equestrian statue of Gen. Grant, supported on a granite iiedestal thirty-two feet high, which is raised above the ground by two stone terraces, accessible by broad flights of steps. The corners of tbe upper terrace are accentuated by four bronze columns raised on stone pedestals. The statue repre sents Grant in general's uniform, mounted on a spirited horse, in the act of reviewing his troops. The pedestal l? divided by string courses and cornices into three distinct but un equal divisions. The two broad sides of the upper part are ornamented by allegorical groups carved In bas-relief in stone, represent ing "Saivation of the Union" aud "Abolition of Slavery." The front aud rear is Intended for suitable inscriptions carved boldly in relief on the stone. Tbe middle division contain* bronze panels with military processions. Massive piers project from the tour corners supporting allegorical figures, "Genius, Strength, Modera tion and Justice," tbe personal characteristics of tbe general. His steadfastness of purpose is further Illustrated by tour lions restlngon bases projecting from tbe lowest division. The total height of the monument is fifty-six feet. Jadffe Hartley'a Will. The will of Thomas M. Hartley, deceased, of this city, was filed for probate yesterday. He leaves one-third of his estate to bis wldo I Ellen E. Hartley, and the rest to his children. The will provides that f 2,500or $3,000 shall be expended out ot the estate for the erection of a suitable and appropriate monument to his memory. Light granite Is specified as the material from which to construct tbe monu meut, and it Is to be placed over tbe grave of his former wife and one of his children In Glen wood cemetery. Tbe will wm made Jane 13,1884 A Wedding in Anaoosti a.?Tuesday night tbe Rev. Mr. McKee's eleven years' rectorship of Anacostla parish wound up in a very popu lar marriage In Emmanuel church, at which he officiated. The contracting parties were George E. McGill and Ijaura Virginia King, both residents of the village. Long before tbe time set for the wedding the cosy church wm densely filled, the congregation overflowing Into tbe church grounds. The chanoel wm pro fUsely decorated with flowers, and tbe festival of St, Michael and All A ngels never presented a more gala appearance In Emmanuel than an this occasion. It happened that the Cbrlstlaa name of the bride furnished a coincidence in the history of marriages in Emmsnnei. The first wedding which took place InJhlsjJratwh was on the night of August 17,1878, when J. M. Owens was married to Mies Laura Virginia Moore, Mr. McKee officiating at that wedding also. A similar coincidence of Christian names In baptisms Is connected with Mr. MeKee's doable rectorship of Anacostla. The flrstcbiid baptised In Emmanuel by him was named Mary Louise. This occurred October 1.1871, during Mr. McKee's IfK rectorship. Tbe last cblidnapUaed la that church by him wm on ber 20,1885, and was aim named Mary be not learning the name of either child Louise, he i untUthey for ??CX TMFE1AX'B Yfulordtv alWnioon I lir closing w?itoc of the annual nwtlut of tin- V omtn i tJirtoUtn TW*? l*r?nce I'nkon vu oophmI vllh drvu?il>pc?n that the i>Hwtltutk>n of the unl'W calls f??r tl?e flMlou of oflWvnt on Hm> first day ??f the mrctliif.

THE lOBXOX'R XI?*. What T?arlttaBM toXamlalia Utah. rax iPPBOAcns to salt lake citt?a land OF SCRIPTURAL If axes AND OF AGRICULTU RAL PROSPER ITT?THI GREAT TEMPLE AND the tithing house. Correspondence of Th* Evkstno rtaE Salt Lake Citt, Utah, Sept. 18,1885. Though this city and region have been writ tan op by a thousand Journalistic pens, yet no country In the old world presents points of grsalsr novelty and Interest to a tourist, both la Its physical and social aspects. In oomlng bars from Colorado, over the Denver and Eio Qrande railway, lor quite a hundred miles after crossing the east Una of Utah, from Grand to Green rivers, the eye rests upon the most deso late waste ol clay and sand, encrusted with al kali and devoid of vegetation save the inevita ble sage brush. The main Rocky mountain range Is left behind, and at Green river the Wasatch range frowns In front of us, while about 60 miles southward we descry the rough out line of the Grand Canon of the Colorado, below the Junction ol Grand and Green rivers, its two principal branches. Descending the western slope of the Wasatch we follow the Provo river which leads us into the Utah valley and empties Into Utah lake. Approaching this valley the Mght is as gladdening to the eye as was the land or Canaan to the wanderers of old when they baheld it beyond the Jordan. Green fields and orchards. Irrigated b(r streams brought from the mountain sides, and comfortable, cheerful look a light colored adobe or sun-dried brick ses-cover the landscape. At each stopping place fruit is vended by young girls, which is quite as luscious and much cheaper than your Washington market affords* Altaifa is the principal grass grown for cattle food, both here and in Colorado, and is of such a fresh, dark green color as to beautify the landscape more than any other crop. It resembles clover, hav ing* similar leal and a purple blossom. With out irrigation two crops a year are raised, and with Irrigation four crops are produced. It aune trom California, and, I believe, will find its way east. Utah lake is fresh, and the river Jordan flows from it northward into the Great Salt Lake, which is some 20 miles northwest ol this city. The Mormons are NOTHING IF NOT SCRIPTURAL, and have given names to the notable features of their peculiar land accordingly. Mount Jfebor stands as a towering landmark to the southward, and this, the chosen city of the saints, they call Zion. It is. indeed, a beautiful city, with streets 140 feet wide, laid out at right angles, according to the cardinal points of the compass, streams of clear water from the mountains coursing along their sides, each square containing ten acres, and, in the resi dence portion ol the city, with from eight to ten houses on each side of the square. Fine stores line the main business street, one of which, occupied by "Zion's Co-operative Mer cantile Institution," is of white marble, front ing lOO feet by over 300 feet in depth. The liquor saloons are large and stylish, as they need be to pay the license, which is f lOO per month. What a revenue this would produce in Washington! The buildings belonging to the church are on a grand and expensive scale, but have been so often and specially described that I will only give them a passing notice. The tabernacle is oval-shaped, as every one is aware. Its longer axis Is 250 feet, its shorter 150 feet, and is spanned by a single arch, with out any supporting columns. It will seat 10.000 persons. Patti sang in It five times to an audience of over 11,000 on each occasion, and was delighted with its acoustic qualities. When I was in it to-day a party of us stood at one extreme, and while a pin was dropped at the other. 250 leet away, we heard it dis tinctly. and a whisper around the side is heard as ulainly as one in the whispering gallery of St. Paul's. Its organ is the second in size in the United States, and was manufactured here. Close by the tabernacle is assembly hall, a fine stone edifice, where smaller church gatherings are held as well as secular entertainments. But the temple Is the Mormon pride, though far from being completed. Work has been in pro gress on it tor twenty-three years, and I was told by an officer of the church that it has already cost f3.000.000. It is of granite quar ried from the neighboring mountain, near the famous Emma and Ontario mines. The main walls are nine feet thick, and have reached their intended height, but the towers are only about lOO feet high, and are to be 175 and 204 feet respectively. The most Interesting place to the visitor, however, is THE TITHING ESTABLISHMENT, where good Mormons bring, as a free-offering to the church, a tenth of their income, or of the products of their Industry, each in ita season. It consists of several large buildings, and a courtyard for wagons, enclosed by a high stone wall. There we saw iarm-teams bring alfalfa, grain, flour, vegetables and fruit of all kinds, with which we were allowed to regale ourselves while a Mormon attendant glibly descanted upon the merits of his faith and its peculiar in stitution. quoting Scripture with the fluency of an evangelist In its support From these tithes the church helps its poor and pays the laborers employed in building the temple and in other public works. The population of the city is given as 25,000. There are about thirty wards, in each of which there is a school house, where local church meetings are also held. At present the church may be said to be decapi tated. for its head, i. e.t its president and two counsellors. Taylor, Cannon and Smith, have betaken themselves to parts unknown to avoid the dilemma, in which arrest under pending or prospective indictments for polvgainv would Involve them. A ride of twenty" miles by rail took a party of us to THE GREAT SALT LAKE, and as we approached it the gleam from Its sur face was of as light and bright a blue as that which comes from the Mediterranean to a trav eler on the Cornice road. It Is about 70 by 30 miles in extent and a number of large islands rise in lofty peaks to a height of more than 3,000 feet above the level of its waters. A plunge in it was refreshing. It is not as cold as the ocean, but is muclfc more salt, and so buoyant to uive one a sensation of walking the water rather than swimming in it. On its borders *re extensive salt works, and sheep asd cattle graze where the laud has not yet be^n tilled, and may not be susceptible of tillage. The cli mate is balmy and healthful, and, in short, na ture smiles in every feature, "and only man Is ?Ue." S.R.B. Dr. Lloyd's Ditch. THE CORPORATE AUTHORITIES OP PALL'S CHURCH DEFEATED IX A NOTABLE LAWSUIT. Correspondence of The Kveniso Star. Fall s Church. Va., Sept. 30.1885. The case of the corporate authorities of Fall's Church vs. Lester Lloyd was tried last *eek at Fairfax Court House iu the county court before Judge Saugster. Judge Thomas and his part ner. James Love, prosecuted, and Walter Moore and John M. Johnson, of Alex andria, defended. The case has grown out of the following facts: For some years the surface water trom a portion of two streets has been carried by a culvert under one (wem within a few paces of the crossing sopts constituting the business center of the village and emptied upon the village lot of Dr. Lloyd. For some time he has made complaints concerning it to the council, but that body would do nothing to relieve him. On the front along the Leesburg pike there are two store buildings; one connected with a dwelling in which Dr. Lloyd lives. On the other front along the street which becomes the Court House road, is, at the lower corner, the new office of the Virginia R*0 years old and the daughter of the late Hon. J. H. Brodhead. of the Treasury department. She was a sister of the wife of United tttates Senator C. H. Van Wyck, of Nebraska, and of the wife of the Rev. Hugh Smith Carpenter, of Brook lyn. Her eldest daughter, Grace, was to have been married on the 8th of October to Henry S. Mott, in MUford, and preparations were being made for a grand wedding. It is supposed that excitement attending the preparations for tbe affair hastened Mrs. Van Auken's death. Horrible Murder at Mansfield, Ohio. The dead body of Miss Clara Huff, aged '29, was found last w ednesday In a ravine, a half mile north of Senaior Sherman's residence, at Mans field, Ohio, with a bullet wound in her right temple. Her wrists were chafed and bruised, as though she had struggled with a powerful man. James Winans and John Cromer, 16 years old, arrested In connection with tbe murder, state that tbe murderer was a com panion of about the same age, and say that he made a criminal assault on Miss Huff; that she resisted, and he shot her. The boys say they were fully half a mile from tbe scene, but heard the pistol shot and the girl scream. The name of the young murderer Is withheld by the police, who have not yet arrested him. Ex-gov. Moses as a Swindler.?In the su preme court at Boston last week, Franklin S. Moses, ex-governor of South Carolina, pleaded guilty to an Indictment charging him with ob taining money by false pretences from ex Mayor Cobb aud others In February, 1884. He will tx- sentenced on Thursday next. He has recently served out a sentence In Middlesex county, Mass., for a similar offense. Floods in Switzerland.?Heavy floods are reported throughout eastern part of Switzer land. Tbe Tomba bridge, a town in the canton of Orisons, has been destroyed and the Tardls bridge is badly damaged. The whole of the upper Rhine valley has been Inundated. Houses, cattle aud other live stock have been swept away, and the harvest destroyed by tbe floods. The Splugen Pass, a route across the Rhoetan alps, between the Grlsons and Lom bard)', is blocked "by heavy snow storms. Fifty-nine Rounds in Two Hours.?A des perate bare-knuckle prize-fight between F. Mur phy, of McClure's station, Pa., and wm. Morris sey, of Dunbar, for 9200 a side, took place near Scottdale, Pa, Tuesday morning. Tne contest was under the London prize ring rules, and lasted two hours, 50 rounds being fought. Mor rlssey was badly punished, and in the last few rounds, to avoid further punishment, dropped on his knees. This angered Murphy, who finally struck him while down, and the fight was given to Morrlssey on a claim of foul.

Senator Hour, on assuming the permanent chairmanship of the Mw nhusetts republican ?tale convention at Springfield yesterday .made an address in which he denied that the republi can party Uvea on the past and appeals to sec tional issues, and declared that theee charges ware brought by the party "that haa resisted ?very great and wholesome measure of progress that the spirit of the age haa suggested. It is the first time in nautical history that a com plaint of slugglshneaa was brought against the engines and sails by the barnacles." No one to whom the republican party has given its confi dence, Senator Hoar said, had any hatred for the south. These charges we?e especially ridio ulous when brought against John Bberman.one ot the foremost pioneers ot the new party of freedom, "who knows better than any other living man every vein and artery, every nerve and muscle and bone and sinew and fibre of the vast life of this country, whoae mind la Axil of the problems that belong to the future." In speaking of the administration of Presi dent Cleveland, 8enator Hoar said: "I would speak with all personal kindness of the Presi dent. I like some things his administration has done, especially its firmness and courage In protecting the rights of the Indians. In the name of the whole manhood of the country, I would call upon the Executive to suppress and punish with strongest band the outrages com mitted and threatened against inoffensive Chinese." THI TICKET AND PLATPOBX. Senator Hoar accused the President of insin cerity in his civil service reform professions, saying: "In the great Department of Justloe every old and faithful servant, from the law clerk down to the charwoman, is turned out to m&ke places for political adherents, and the President neither interferes nor remonstrates." Gov. Robinson was renominated for gover nor, Oliver Ames lor lieutentant governor and Hon. Henry B. Pierce for secretary ot state by acclamation. Hon. A. W. Beard, of Boston, was nominated for state treasurer and receiver geueral, Hon. Charles R. Ladd tor auditor and Edgar L. Sherman for attorney general. The plattorm demands the suspension of the coinage of the standard silver dollar and en forcement of the Edmunds law In Utah, ap proves the civil servicelaw, favors such revision and reduction of the tariff as will benefit Ameri can labor and industry, and denounces the al leged disfranchisement of the negro in the south. The Lynchburg Convention. AN ADDRESS ADOPTED PROCLAIMING THE PO LITICAL INDEPENDENCE OP THE COLORED PEOPLE AND DEPRECATINO THB RAISING OP THE RACB ISSUE. At the Lynchburg convention of colored men last evening R. B. Beckley was elected perma nent chairman. An address to the colored peo ple of Virginia was adopted, reciting that the time having come for withdrawing the unquali fied support heretofore given the republican party, the convention declared itself politically independent. While professing gratitude to the republican party for what it has done for the colored race in the past, the address declares that "now the time has come for us to think, act, vote and speak for ourselves, especially since the republicans have practically aban doned us. We know that many of our race have been murdered in the south, but the causes which led to these sad occurrences are traceable to the mismanagement of federal of ficeholders. These reasons lead us to adopt such methods and to so demean ourselves as to make friends of those whose interests are iden tical with our own. We therefore appeal to the colored people to look well to the altered condi tion of affairs, and in the future to make such political alliances as will most advance our in terests, educationally, financially and politi cally. We feel that there is a general disposi tion on the part of the white people to accord us all our rights before the law. We condemn the raising of the race issue. We have cause to be thankful for the liberality of the present na tional administration to our people in the south." Political Notes. The New York republican state central com mittee yesterday chose Chester S. Cole, of Corn ing, chairman; Chas. A. Chickering, J. W. Vroo man and John Engleson, secretaries. Chas. W. Hackett, of Utica, was elected chairman of the executive committee, with following associates: A. M. Holmes, J. B. Dutcher. James J. Belden, J. J. O'Brien. John Birdsall, Solon B. Smith, David Wilbur, James T. Husted, A. H. Warner, T. C. Teale, S. J. Maddox, Henry Bristow and Geo. Campbell. Henry O. Coggeshall has been renominated for state senator by the republican convention of Oneida county, N. Y. Hon. John W. Daniel spoke at the academy of music, iu Petersburg, Va., last night. Henry F. Donovan, superintendent of letter carriers in the Chicago post office, at a meeting of the young democracy of that city last night, tendered his resignation as president of that or ganization. The prohibition party in Maryland is making an active campaign. There was a large gathering of leading Mary land democrats for cousaMation with Senator Gorman, In Baltimore, last night. Col. J. C. Mullikln has been re-elected chair man of the republican state central committee of Maryland. In Baltimore last night the democratic con vention met and nominated the ticket for court clerks and register of wills; the Woods faction of the republican city convention held a meet ing and declined to make peace with the other faction, and the colored advisory council held a meeting at Douglass institute. Mr. Sartoris and Hla Tenants. From the London World. Mr. Algernon Sartor Is has sung himself into the hearts of so many of his father's tenantry as belong to the Llangennech estate, whom he met for the first time last week, at a dinner given at the Coasting Pilot club-room In that town. When the speeches had been got through more lively proceedings set in, and Mr. Sartoris volunteered a sea song, which was reallv done In excellent style, and went down amazingly. Mr. Sartoris, a son-in-law of the late Gen. Grant, has had the estate made over to him by his father, and will undertake its management and reside among the tenants.

She Wants the President to Marry. Wash in gton Dispatch to New York Herald. The President wus kept busy in his office for over Ave hours to-day. From ten o'clock In the morning until lunch he was constantly engaged in hearing the Congressmen and politicians who called on him. After that time he held his customary reception in the east room, where nearly one hundred persons paid their respects Among the number of ladles who called to pay their respects to-day was a handsome, matronly-looking lady who came from some place in the northern part of New York. Upon taking the President s hand she said Dleas antlv: "Mr. President, I will call here again In six months, and by that time I want to see Mrs Cleveland. Now, don't forget It." ...Tf1? Preflldent. smiling, said: "Give me a little more time, please. It takes time to make such a selection.'r "Not one moment more," said the ladv as she passed out of the east room: "you have already had time enough, and for all I know you mav have already made a selection. There should be a Mrs. Cleveland In this house, and I shall want to see her when I call again." The Incident was much enjoyed by some other ladles who heard the conversation. In deed, It did not seem to give the President any annoyance, lor the smile never left his face during the reception. All Praise Shepherd. From the Boston Post. Every democrat who goes to Washington comes back praising ex-Boss Shepherd, because of the fine streets and sidewalks that he built, the thousands of trees he planted, and the pretty little parks he laid out during the era of The ex-boss spent money with a free hand, but it Is a stubborn fact that un like some public servants he left things both useful and ornamental to show tor it. Sound Republican Policy. From the Boston Traveller, Sept. 27. Mr. Rlch'd H. Dana, who bolted the nominat ion of Mr. Blaine last fall, and has been elected a delegate to the republican state convention, Is said to be of the opinion that it would be "sound policy for the republicans to approve bo much of President Cleveland's oourse as they believe Is due to a regai d for the public in terests. It would show that they looked at the situation in a broad view, and are willing to be generous to an opponent. It would also put the party in the attitude of thorough sincerity in what It says about civil service reform, an attitude which Is not familiar to either ot the two parties." It is not expected that he will seek to secure such a recognition in the wn vention.

The Chicago base-ball ground* were packed with an immense and enthusiastic crowd, who went wild orer the success of the home team. During the fourth inning a drl*. sling rain began to foil, bnt It had little efffeot on the crowd. The New Yorki went to the bat, O'Rourke getting to first on balls. Clarkson caught him trying to steal seoond, and Connor replaced him at first. Ewlng was caught out by Pfoffor, and the nine retired on a double play.

Keefe grit to second Umpire Curry here made a decision unworthy of a school boy. While leading off second Keefe was clearly caught at least three feet from the base, but was declared safe. He reached third on Gerhardt's three strikes out and Flint's muff. Johnnie Ward struck three successive times in vain and Keefe went to the pitcher's box Instead of coming home. For Chicago \V llllamson went out at 1st and Burns and Keefe went out on strikes.
