For more than a year the work of making a tunnel through bod rock has been steadily prosecuted on the water works extension. I>ay and night, without Intromission, the drill iiave bored their way into the solid rock, and to-day connection was made between two of the headings. Karly this morning a Star re porter presented himself at the Rock creek shaft, where he was taken charge of by Inspec tor Woodward. In a few moments the reporter was at the bottom of the shaft, and then,guided by Mr. Woodward and the dim light of a miner's lamp, he plodded his way through mud and water to the headings, thirty-one hundred and tweuty-nlne feet distant. The connection between the two branches of the tunnel ho* been an event that was expected at every bin t for the past three days. For more than a week work has been suspended in t lie heading of the Cham plain avenue tunnel. Only seven feet of solid rock interposed, and it was not safe for two sets of workmen to continue any longer in such close' proximity. A blast set olt'ln one heading might do incalculable mischief to the worker in the next. So all work was .-topped In the Champlain avenue heading and It was prosecuted from the Rock creek tunnel. It was thought that tiie blast of this morning would throw down the wall of divid ing rock, but it did not. In a short time, how ever. one of the drills went through, and_ then another and another pierced the rock uutil five holes were made through it. A measurement showed that the wall of lock dividing the two headings ranged from two and a half to three and half feet in thickness. The drills were kept at work until fourteen holes were made. The charges were then laid and everything prepared to blow out the dividing wall and connect the two branches of the tunnel at live o'clock this afternoon. Work from the other headings is rapidly pro gressing.

PUBLIC Bl'ILDiAiUS CKl'MBLING. Decaying Property at the Wavy Yards. ANNUA I. REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF THE BU REAU OF YARDS AND DOCKS, NAVY DEPART MENT. Commodore II. B. Harmony, chief of the bu reau of yards and docks, in his annual report submits estimates from the commandants of the various navy yards, for the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1877, aggregating 89,666,698. The amount to be expended upon yards and stations, he says, will depend largely upon the policy which Congress may decide upon with regard to them. In order that the matter may be lairly before it, he estimates for certain de sirable improvements, in addition to the neo e-sary expenditures for "repairs a nd preserva tion" and "maintenance." The estimates of the bureau itself aggregate onlv $4,384,737: as follows: For support of the bureau, SI 1.980: general maintenance and contingent, 8340,000; support of naval asylum, $96,661; repairs and preservation, $800,000; improvements at n ivy yards, $3,008,337; civil establishment, $68,759. "The very limited appropriations made for the care and maintenance of yards, the past few years," writes Commodore Harmony, "has necessarily resulted in sucli a condition of de cay in buildings, docks and wharves, that in order to put them iu proper condition a liberal appropriation is absolutely necessary under the general heads of 'maintenance' and 're pairs and 'preservation,' more parti ticularly under tiie latter. Scarcely a week has passed since I assumed controlof the bureau that reports have not been received of build ings tumbling down or liable to do so atauy moment, ro;>is leaking to such an extent as to involve the destruction of property, and in rough weather preventing men from working; wharves rotten and failing into the water, stone dry docKs having to be shored up with timber; road and ways broken In and in bad condition; water service defective on account of worn out pipe?, iind a complaint of decay that implies general destruction. It surely mast ap pear to Congress that vast estab lishments, such as our navy yards are, cannot be kept in proper condition, availa ble for the needs of the country without suttl eleut means U> repair wharves and buildings so that they can be used at all times for the pur poses intended. Much ha? yet to be done in the way ol Improvement to make any of our yards equal to the demands that may be made upon tliem. Ttie appropriations have generally been well expended, out they have been so small little oould be done. Not less than $800,000 should be appropriated annually tor the next three years to put the property In good condition, and I sincerely hope that this amount may be given." Under the heads of the different yards Com modore Harmony gives Us views ot such of tiie estimates as seem to him deserving of particu lar notice. WASHINGTON NAVY YARD. The only improvements recommended at the Washington navy yard are a new wing to the machine shop, $95,000, and the extension of the yard wall, $21,711. The estimates of tiie. Norfolk, Va., yard, for improvements recommended, amount to 81, 545,110. "As this yard," writes Commodore Harmony, "is e>t equal importance to any on the Atiaiitic coast, the expenditure of a large amount for its improvement is warranted, so that it may in all respects be put in a condition for carrying on all kinds of works of a first-class naval establishment." The bureau recommends items of the estimates aggregating $983,869 as essentially necessary, and in addition to the estimates submitted by the commandant of the yard the bureau mentions as especially Import ant the extension ot the present dry dock, for which an appropriation of $'240,000 isTieeded. THE GREAT TELEPHONE CASE. The Arguments?Secretary Lamar Anx ious to Close the Hearing To-day. When the hearing of telephone cases was re sumed at the Interior department this morn ing, Mr. Starrow submitted a number ot affi davits for the Bell company. One of them made by Mr. Frank Pope deuied that there was similarity between the models submitted and the original Relss instruments. He made copies of letters passing between Mr. Gray and his counsel, Mr. Baldwin, in November, 1876. Mr. Starrow said that Mr. Baldwin was suffer ing under a cruel imputation, and it was but fair to read the correspondence to indicate his conduct, and an affidavit by Mr. Baldwin bearing upon the same matter. Mr. Starrow said the correspondence showed that the brief was filed with Mr. Gray's full consent and ap proval and after having been shown to him beforehand. It would also show that the alleged improper concession and compromise had be?u made with Mr. Gray's approval, after having been thoroughly convinced by the pro ceedings in the Dowd case that Bell's claim was superior to his own. j>lr. Starrow also produced a number of the contracts called for by the other side. MP.. THOMPKINS AND THE MEUCIA CLAIMS. An affidavit was submitted by Mr. Wm. C. Thompkins in answer to the statements made yesterday to the effect that he had endeavored to purchase the Meucla claims for the Bell com pany. He declares that he was invited to go to Philadelphia by Mr. Wi Hough by to examine the Meucia claims* that he did so, and that the gentlemen representing that interest refused to confer without an express understanding that the Bell company would purchase their inter est. He had refused to enter into any such agreement, and that was ihe end of the trans action, nooffer of money was made by him or even referred to. Al ter the submission of other papers the coun sel began their arguments. Mr. Humphreys opened for the Globe company and was fol lowed by Mr. Beckwith for the same company. I'The Secretary la- desirous of concluding the hearing this evening, and it is probable a late session will be held.

It was shown to the satisfaction ot the accounting offi cers that the order issued by Rear Admiral Up shur directing the paymasters of the Pacific squadron to purchase stores from a particular firm doing business in Callao was necessary in order to break up a ring which was forcing the fleet to pay exorbitant prices for its supplies. Tardy Treasury Clerks.?The doorkeepers at the Treasury were armed with tablets yester day morning and took down the names ot all clerks who came late to the department, report ing them to the chief clerk. This was in com pliance with an order issued by Secretary Man ning, in consequence of complaints that clerks were coming late to their wo?k.

Special Cable Dispatch to Thr Evening Star. London, Nov. 14.?Alter all, the declaration of war this morning burst upon all here as a surprise. There was lalth that diplomacy would patch up the difficulties. None ol the morning papers bad definite news, only rumors A message announcing; the outlook reached me at 8:30 a.m. I had an Immediate interview with Mijatovich, the Servian minister here. He had received an hour before a long telegram giving the official text of the declar ation, and instructing him to carry the news to Lord Salisbury, which he was about to do, lie assured me that the immediate cau*e ofthe outbreak was that Bulgaria had given orders that all Servians found on Bulgarian territory should be treated as brigands. Servia indig nantly protested without result. She theretore sent a circular note to tb& powers douylng that Servian troops had crossed the trontier, and as serting that the Bulgarians were pressing the Servian outposts and declaring that any fur ther advance by the Bulgarians would be h cant? belli. The advance was made, the Servians being attacked near Vlassi n a. Consequently King Milan has taken the field at the head of his army. A formal de claration of war has been sent by Premier Gar asebning to the Greek agent representing Ser via at Sofia, instructing him to convev it to Zaunoff, minister of foreign affairs. Milato vich said to me: "Both Gladstone and Ix>rd Salisbury have done all in their power to pre war." He said with a smile of confidence: "The war will be neither long nor bloody. It will draw Servia and Bulgaria nearer together, and each will better understand and respect the other. This collision will aflord a solu tion of all the problems so long at i^sue between us." It is certain.however,?hat Kuroi.e will not take this view. King Mi.an has l>een bent from the first upon hostilities tor the sake o! aggrandizement,and has not hesitated now to plunge into a fratricidal war with this end in view.MIJat >vich denied all this vehement ly.and stai ted to convey the news to Lord Salisburv. The following interesting fact, which it is need less to say did not reach me from the same source, is true, nevertheless: All the long and eloquent letters sent to the English papers lust month by the .Servian minister were not written by him, but by his wife, who is an American lady. THE SERVIAN ARMY ADVANCING. Kins Milan Lead/nf His Force* Against the Bulgarians. London, Nov. 14.?A dispatch from Belgrade snys It is officially announced that the Bul garians having attacked the Servians at Veasina, King Milan accepts the act as a declaration ot war. Peace, therefore, end'.'d at six o'clock this morning. King Milan*has as sumed command of the Servian army, and active operations will be begun at once. ?LfUer.?Tiie Servian army has commenced moving forward, and an advance on Sofia is anticipated. The troops display much enthu siasm. The declaration of war by Servia against Bulgaria caused depression in the London stock market. English railway securities aud European bonds fell two per cent.

The whole force is ex pected to coucentrate at Solia on November 22. The roads are covered with snow, retarding the progress of the army. A Decisive Battle Expected To-morrow The Servian division inarching from Pirot direct on Sofia will probably have the first de cisive battle of the war earlv to-inorrow, when they are expected to reach the difficult and rocky gorge of the Dragoman defile, v. ncre a number of Bulgarian battalions have been concentrated, and where a stand may be made. Sofia to be Stoutly Defended. Sofia, Nov. 14.?The following has just been issued by the government: "The Servians hav ing invaded Bulgaria to-day near Tsaribrod be lore declaring war, Bulgaria has decided to up hold the national cause by all the means at her disposal." Intense excitement prevails. Active preparations are being made to defend the city. A number of heavy guns are being mounted in available positions commanding the different roads leading to the city.

Eight men have been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the murder and outrage. Curtin was a man of good social position.

Powers, a well-known resident of this place, was found hanging to a tree on the road near here on Sep tember IS. At the time his !?>dv was found it was thought that lie iiad been lynched l?ccause ol popular feeling against him, but luier sus piciou became arou-ed that he had been mur dered. and 18 persons were arrested for alleged complicity in the crime. Every cflort, how ever, to obtain convicting testimony In tin preliminary examinations tailed. Twelve per sons yet leinaln in custody. One of these prisoners named Richard Alexander, on Satur day last gave todeteetives a writteu confession, the contents of which were kept strictly secret. Levi Alexander, the lather of the itiau who made tiie confession, aud who was present wiicn the statement was given to the detec tives, yesterday made its contents public. The statement shows that the whole matter was instigated aud executed by John T. Prewett, who, partly by strategy and partly by coercion, inveigied 18 others into becoming accessories to the crime. Powers was shot on tlieeveuing of September 17th by Prewett while on his way home, aud youug Alexander and Andrew Irwiu witnessed the crime. I^ater in the even ing a meeting at which 19 persons were present was held for the avowed purpose of punishing Powers on a charge of iiiccudtarism brought against him by Prewett. The latter when he came up said: "We needn't discuss the matter, I have settled it. The old man Is dead." All present were then informed that they were accessory to the murder aud were sworn to pro tect one another, lo strengthen the oatli they were induced to go to the spot where Powers' Ijody had been left and to lake part in hanging it where it was afterwards louud. Prewett's enmity towards Powers was caused by the latler's having been a witness in a case, the result of which was to take Irom Prewett some illegally held hind. Among those uamed by Alexander as being implicated in the murder are s. P. S. Ashcioft, Andrew Irwin, Fred. Fow ler, Isaac Slaviu and Marion Thompson. Failures la Montreal. Montreal, Nov. 14.?C. T.

It the newcommisakm is not the same plant as theold.it I* of the same species and will !?c of a vigorous and healthy growth. MR. EATON VOCCHBB FOR THE EAR>'KSTXKSN OF HIS ASSOC!ATMS. "I can vouch for the earnestness of my new associates," said Mr. ijifon. "They an* reslous and devoted in the Interests of civil service r>* I form. In no case, they declare, will the steri Ing case be a precedent, and they are w tiling to 'abide by any criticism It may prov<?kc from those who do not understand the case and ap preciate their motives." SO CHASfiE OF THK Rt'I.ES COSTKU I'l.ATKll. The commission are agreed liiat no change should be made iu the rules to increase the liat of certified candidates. Mr. KaUin says such a change would lie detrimental n? the ser vice aud is entirely unnecessary. "If twemv names were certified, lor instance,'' he said, "what would be the result? The appointing power would be Itcsct by the candidates, aud all sorts ot srv-ial and political In fluence would be produced in the intervals of tlie various candidate*. The trouble complained of by those who want an extension of the certification is all provided against hy a provision in the rules lOr the tiansfer aud ex changeof clerk*, so as to gel the right men iu the right place. The heads of de|?aruiienu have not understood this rule perfectly hereto fore, but now it i* belug put intoopcra'tion and tlie result is satisfactory. The rule now re quires that a clerk must serve one year tie ton he can be transferred, but It will he amended soon, so as to reduce tlie time to six months." O'BRIEN GETS THE APPOINTMENT. J. N. O'Brien, who passed highest in the ex amination tor the Brooklyn weigherahlp, was given the appointment late yesterday altar noon. Mr. Hedden states that though be had, by the resolution of the civil service commis sioners, the right to choose front the whole list, be nevertheless proposed to follow the civil ser vice law strictly, and therefore gave the preler enee to Mr. O'Brieu because hepassed the beat examination and was an old soldier. Mr. O'Brien Is forty-eight years old. He was grad uated from the col lege of St. PramUs Xavter, la New York etty. He screed through the war with the 69th New York regiment, and waa wounded on the battle field of Antletam. Afterward be received aa honorable dismissal because of dis ability.

The Soldiers' Home. recommendations of inspector general DAVIS. In his annual report to the Secretary of War ol the inspection of the Soldiers' home, Inspec tor General Davis states that the police arrange, meuts iu some of the stables, storerooms, shops, &c? were net good, and public property was not well cared for. It was reported that the men employed at the places referred to were over worked. Tlio total number of inmates of the home since 1851 was 5,114, ranging from 22 to 44 years of age. Travis Evans, admitted May 20, 18S1, not a pensioner, now iu the hospital, was 04 years old last May. Although infirm, he walks about, aud his mind is quite clear. He was in the war of 1812. j the prkhident's summer cottage as an infirmary. It is recommended that an infirmary be es tablished for the care oi inmates who, from general debility, loss ot teeth, Ac., require spe cial diet and cooking, and it is suggested that the President's cottage, if not to oe used as heretofore, would make a good infirmary. A trained cook for the hospital is very much needed, and also an assistant to the attending surgeon, who should be a graduate o! medicine witii experience as a physician. The inmates of tlie home are well and kindly treated and made as comfortable as possible. The food is good and abundant and fairly well cooked, but it is asserted tba*. it would be better to have one trained cook (civilian) ior the general metis. money in the treasury belonging to the home. Gen. Davis suggests that steps be taken to determine approximately the amount of bal ance said to be due the home and withheld by the United States Treasury, and to apply to have an aet of Congress passed transferring to the home the amount agreed upon as Just by the commissioners of the borne and by persons acting lor the government. The number oi inmates of the home is an nually increasing. Lut year .tlie increase was nearly lOO, and the erection of new buildings may be anticipated in th? n?ir-nitura. Ttie an of the is about asked to appropriate thU amoant for Uie repair and preservation of the roads. nuai expense of keeping the roadi HwlrPresenTgood condltion $6,000. It is recommended that Con Til HOI'(all THE ROCK. Two of the Tunnel Headings THE ENGINEERS' WOltK KOl'SD TO BE CORRECT. AND TWO LONO I'XDKRIJHOrSD CHAMBERS WII.I. BE MERGED INTO OXB BY A BLAST THIS AFTERNOON. For more than a year the work of making a tunnel through bed rock has been steadily prosecuted on the water works extension. I>?y and night, without intermission, the drill* have bored their way Into the solid rock, and to-day connection was made between two of the headings. Marly this morning a 8tar re porter presented himself at the Rock creek shaft, where he was taken charge ot by Inspec tor Woodward. In a few moments the reporter was at the bottom of the shaft, and then, guided by Mr. Woodward and the dim light of a miner's lamp, he plodded his way through mud and water to the headings, thirty-one hundred and tweuty-nine feet distant. The connection between tlie two branches of the tunnel bos been an event that was expected at every bla t lor the past three days. For more than a week work has been suspended in the heading of the Champiain avenue tunnel. Only seven feet of solid rock interposed, and it was not safe for two sets of workmen to continue any longer in such close* proximity. A bla-t set off In one heading might do incalculable mischief to the worker lu the nexl. So all work was stopped In the Champiain avenue heading and It was prosecuted from the Rock creek tunnel. It was thought that the blast of this morning would throw down the wall of divid ing rock, but it did not. In a short time, how ever, one of the drills went through,and then another and another pierced the rock uutil five holes were made throuch it. A measurement showed that the wall of lock dividing the two headings ranged from two and a half to three and a half feet in thickness. The drills were kept at work until fourteen holes were made. The charges were then laid and everything prepared to blow out the dividing wall and connect the two branches of the tunnel at live o'clock this afternoon. Work from the other headings is rapidly pro gressing.

PUBLIC BlILDIKiiit CRUMBLING. Decaying Property at the Navy Yards. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF THE BU* I BEAU OF YARDS AND DOCKS, NAVY DEPART MENT. Commodore H. B. Harmony, chief of the bu reau of yards and docks, in bis annual report submits estimates from the commandants ot I the various navy yards, for the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1877, aggregating $9,666,698. j The amount to be expended upon yards and stations, he says, will depend lamely upon the policy which Congress may decide upon with regard to them. In order that the matter may he fairly before it, he estimates for certain de sirable improvements, In addition to the neo I essary expenditures for "repairs and preserva I tion" and "maintenance." 1 The estimates of the bureau itself aggregate onlv $4,38-1,737; as follows: For support of the bureau, 811,080: general maintenance and contingent, $340,000; support of naval asylum, 800,001; repairs and preservation, Improvements at n ivy yards, $3,06S,337; civil I establishment. 868,759. "The very limited appropriations made lor the care and maintenance of yards, Hie past lew years," writes Commodore Harmony, "has necessarily resulted in such a condition of de cay in buildings, docks and wharves, that in order to put them in proper condition a liberal appropriation is absolutely necessary under the general heads of ?maintenance' and 're pairs and 'preservation,' more parti tkularly under tlie latter. Scarcely a week has passed since I assumed control of the bureau that reports have not been received of build S lugs tumbling down or liable to do so atauy i moment, roofs leaking to such an extent as to i Involve the destruction of property, and in rough weather preventing men from working; wharves rotten and falling into the water: stone dry docKs having U> he shored up with timber; road and ways broken in and in bad condition: water service defective on account of worn out pipes and a complaint of decay that implies general destruction. It surely mast ap pear to Congress that vast estao I lishments, such as our navy yards are, cannot be kept in proper condition, availa ble for the needs of Lhe country without suffi cient means to repair wharves and buildiugs so that they can be used at all times for the pur poses intended. Much has yet to be done in the way ot improvement to make any of our yards equal to the demands that may be made upon tliera. The appropriations have generally been well exj>ended, but they have been so small little oould be done. Not less than 8800,000 should be appropriated annually lor the next three years to put the property in g(x>d condition, and I sincerely hope that this amount may be given." Under the heads of the different yards Com modore Harmony gives Ws views of such of the estimates as seem to him deserving of particu lar notice. WASHINGTON NAVY YARD. The only Improvements recommended at the Washington navy yard are a new wing to the machine shop, $95,000, and the extension of the yard wall, $'21,711. The estimates of tiio. Norfolk, Va., yard, for improvements recommended, amount to $1, 515,110. "As this yard," writes Commodore Harmony, "is ot equal importance to any on the Atlantic coast, the ex|>eiidiluie of a large amount for Its improvement Is warranted, so that It may In all respects be put in a condition for carrying on all kinds of works of a first-class naval establishment." The bureau recommends items of the estimates aggregating 8983,809 as essentially necessary, and in addition to the estimates submitted by the commandant of the yard the bureau mentions as especially import ant the extension ot the present dry dock, for which an aporopriatlon of $210,000 isTieeded.

THE GREAT TELEPHONE CASE. The Arguments?Secretary Lamar Anx ious to Close the Hearing To-day. When the hearing of telephone cases was re sumed at the Interior department this morn ing, Mr. 8tarrow submitted a number of affi davits for the Bell company. One of them made by Mr. Frank Pope denied that there was similarity between the models submitted and the original Reiss instruments. He made copies of letters passing between Mr. Gray and his counsel, Mr. Baldwin, in November, 1876. Mr. Starrow said that Mr. Baldwin was suffer ing under a cruel imputation, and it was but lair to read the correspondence to indicate his conduct, and an affidavit by Mr. Baldwin bearing upon the same matter. Mr. Starrow s-iid the correspondence showed that the brief was filed with Mr. Gray's full consent and ap proval and after having been shown to him hetorehand. It would also show that the alleged improper concession and compromise had been made with Mr. Gray's approval, after having been thoroughly convinced by the pro ceedings in the l>owd case that Bell's claim was superior to his own. Mr. starrow also produced a number of the contracts called for by the other side. MP.. THOMPKINS AND THE MEUCIA CLAIMS. An affidavit was submitted by Mr. Wm. C. Thompkius in answer to the statements made yesterday to the effect that he had endeavored to purchase the Meucla claims for the Bell com pany. He declares that he was Invited to go to Philadelphia by Mr. Willoughby to examine the Meucla claims* that he did so, and that the gentlemen representing that interest refused to coufer without an express understanding that the Bell company would purchase their inter est. He had refused to enter into any such agreement, and that was the end of the trans action, no offer of money was made by him or even referred to. After the submission ot other papers the coun sel began their arguments. Mr. Humphreys opened lor tho Glone company and was fol lowed by Mr. Beckwlth for the same company. The Secretary la- desirous of concluding the hearing this evening, and it is probable a late session will be held.

He Broke Up the Ring.?The checkage against the account of Rear Admiral Upshur while in command of the Pacific station has been removed by the fourth auditor. It was shown to the satisfaction of the accounting offi cers that the order issued by Rear Ad mi ml Up shur directing the paymasters of the Paclnc squadron to purchase stores from a particular firm doing business in Callao was necessary in order to break np a ring which was forcing the fleet to pay exorbitant prices for its supplies. Tardy Treasury Clerks.?The doorkeepers at the Treasury were armed with tablets yester day morning and took down the names oi all clerks who came late to the department, report ing them to the chief clerk. Tills was in com pliance with an order issued by Secretary Man ning, in consequence of complaints that clerks were coming late to their work. Tho result of the first day's catch was 235 tardy clerks and the department was thrown Into a state of con sternation for fear of prompt dismissals. It Is proposed to note the time of departure from the department also.

THE BURNED DISTRICT II GALVE3T0H. LOKDOSr TAKES BY SURPRISE. The Xews of Hostilities Between Nervia and Bulgaria Quite Unexpected? Roseate View of the Servian Minister to ttreat Britain. Special Cable Dispatch to The Evehing Star. London, Nov. 14.?Aiter all, the declaration of war this morning burst upon all here as a surprise. There was ialth that diplomacy would patch up the difficulties. None o! the morning papers bad definite news,only rumors A message announcing the outlook reached me at 8:30 a.m. I had an immediate interview with Mijatovich, the Servian minister here. He had received an hour before a long telegram giving the official text of the declar ation, and instructing him to carry the news to Lord Salisbury* which he was about to do. He assured me that the immediate cause ofthe outbreak was that Bulgaria had given orders that all Servians found ou Bulgarian territory should be treated as brigands. Servia indig nantly protested without result. She therefore sent a circular note to tho powers denying that Servian troops had crossed the lrontler, and as serting that the Bulgarians were pressing the Servian outposts and declaring that any fur ther advance by the Bulgarians would be a cants belli. The advance was made, the Servians being attacked near Vlassl n;t. Consequently King" Milan has taken the field at the head of his army. A formal de claration of war has been sent by Premier Gar aselming to the Greek agent representing Ser via at Sofia, instructing him to convey it to Zaunoff, minister of foreign affairs. Mijato vich said to me: "Both Gladstone and Lord Salisbury have done all in their power to pre vent war." He said with a smile of confidence: "The war will be neither long nor bloody. It will draw Servia and Bulgaria nearer together, and each will better understand and respect the other. This collision will afford a solu tion of all the problems so long at Issue bet ween us." It is certain.however.t hat Europe will not take this view. KingMwan has l?eeii bent from the first upon hostilities tor the sake o! aggrandizement,and has not hesitated now to plunge into a fratricidal war with this end in view.MIJat ivich denied all this vehement ly,and slat ted to convey the news to Lord Salisbury. The following interesting fact, which it is need less to say did not reach me from the same source, is true, nevertheless: All the long and eloquent letters sent to the English papers last month by the Servian minister were not written by him, but by his wife, who is an American lady.

A Decisive Battle Expected To-morrow The Servian division marching trom Pirot direct on Sofia will probably have the first de cisive battle of the war early tomorrow, when they are expected to reach the difficult and rocky gorge of the Dragoman defile, wiiere a number of Bulgarian battailous have been concentrated, and where a stand may be made.

Intense excitement prevails. Active preparations are being made to defend the city. A numticr of heavy guns are being mounted in available positions commanding the different roads leading to the city.

Strike In a Shoe Factory. Brockton, Mass., Nov. 14.?The manufac turers' price list was yesterday posted in the factory of C. F. Poter, and immediately the lasters went out. A number of the advisory board was seen last night and stated that tho men had not been ordered out and could not give any reason tor their leaving the factory. If these men continue to stay out it is probable that a general strike will be inaugurated Mon day, which will throw 5,000 hands' out of work. Outrage in Ireland. A KAN KILLED BY MOONLIGHTERS FOR DE FENDING HIS HOUSE WHEN ATTACKED. Tralke, Nov. 14.?A band of moonlighters at Molahaft'e, near Tralee, last evening attacked the house of a man named Curtin, and during the melee Curtin shot one of the moonlighters. The latter then retired, hut returned in a short time and renewed the attack. They captured the house, shot Curtin dead, and wounded a servant named Sullivan. Eight men have been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the murder and outrage. Curtin was a man of good social position. The dead moonlighter has been identified as the sou of a widow holding a small farm near the Curtins. The sons of Curtin fought bravely and tore the masks from a number of the as sailants' faces, which enabled the former to identify several of the latter. The moonlighters were in search of arms.

It is alleged if enioroed It will close up the mines aud lorcc the smelters to shut down. It practically shuts tbe miners and mining companies out from timber, and will compel thousands to leave the country- Tbe laws do not permit any one to acquire title to timber lands or to purchase tbe Umber.

The dcci Kion necessarily provoked crltici*m. It was the first official act of the uewcivil service commis sioners, and wnt"of the friends of civil service reform felt much depressed about it. It Is claimed, however, by the commission, that when the public come to Iook Into the matter they will sc.- that the oomuiIsslon lias acted wisely. On the outset the new commissioners declare that they are earnestly ami devotedly attached to civil service reiorm, and that then* only desire is to |M>pularizc it and advance ita interests. The Sterling c.tae was a peculiar one, and they took a bold step ill It, knowing that the outcome would lie satisfactory. THE COMMISSIONERS WILI.INU To STAND ?'RIT ICISM. Col. Trenholm said to a Stait reporter yes terday: "We arc willing to stund the criticism that may be passed upon us. When it is all over the civil service will Ik? benefited by It. The Sterling case is such ns will probably i never arlae again, and It will never be allowed to servo as a precedent. It is the result of their work that the commission will finally l?e i judged by, and we intend that everything we i do shall be for the best interval of the civil ser vice law. When this matter is all over and tba altitude of the com mission is undersbsid, it will have made many friends and sup|torteni for civil service reform tnorc than It now has. Those who con*lrue frotn their view ol the d?? cision in this case that there is to be any laxity i on the part of the commission, will find the re I 1'utation of such a theory in our ?-our*e through out. Yon have no idea that Mr. sterling will l?e made the Brooklyn weigher? No, nor have I! Mr. O'Brien will probably be apftoluted. He should have been appointed in the first place. But there is this iu the case. It was not known when Mr. Hedden apiiolnted Mr. Stirling that the office came within the civil nervine rogtila httloii6. It was afterwards decided that U did, ai.d Mr. Sterling was su-is-nded, and an j examination ordered. Now the examination is over, and some thirt> candidates have lieen cortilied.

MR. EATON VOtTHER FOR TIIE EARNESTNESS OF HIS ASSOCIATES. "I can vouch for the earnestness of my new associates," *nId Mr. Katon. "They are realou* and devoted in th? interests of civil service r> forni. In no case, they declare, will the St?-rl ing case be a precedent, and they are willing to abide by any criticism it may provoke from t hose who do not understand the case uud ap preciate their motives." NO CHANGE OF THE RCI.ES CONTEMI'l.ATED. The commission are agreed that uo change should be made in the rules to increase the liat of certified candidates. Mr. Katon says such a change would lie detrimental to the ser vice and is entirely uuneci?*arv. "If twenty names were certified, lor instance,'' be said, "what would be the result? The appointing power would be Is-sct by the candidate*, and nil sorts ot av-ial and political in fluence would be produced in the interest! of the various candidate*. The trouble complained of by those who want an extrusion of the certification is all provided against by a provision in the rules for the transfer uud ex change of clerks, so as to get the right men In the right place. The heads of departments have not understood tills rule perfectly hereto fore, but now It Is being put into operation and the result Is satisfactory. The rule now re quires that a clerk must serve one year hefon he can be transferred, but it will be amended soon, so as to reduce the time to six months.' O'BRIEN GETS THK APPOINTMENT. J. N. O'Brien, who passed Highest In the ex amination tor the Brooklyn weighership, was given the appointment late yesterday after noon. Mr. Hedden states that though be had, by the resolution of tbe civil service oomnila siQners, tbe right to choose from the whole list, he nevertheless proposed to follow the civil ser vice law strictly, and therefore gave the prefer ence to Mr. O'Brien because be passed the best examination and was an old soldier.

A Talk With (ieallfmrn Who Claim Adfpuhlp la Eastern Ijrilerict, DR. EI.LIOTT COUES AXD HIS GUEST FRO* INDIA?WHAT THE TltEOeJOPH ISTS KSOW BUT CASXUT TELL?A LADY WHO RECEIVED A2* ASTRAL VISITOR. Baba Oopal Vlnayak Joshee, tbe Brahmin {pundit and fellow of the Thcosopblcai society* c?f BomliHV?, India. is a guestof Dr. KUIott Coues, the well-known scientist, in thiscity. Dr. Cooes i is a believer in theosophy, and is the recognized tit-ad of tne school of eastern philosophy in this country. A Htar reporter called at the resi dence ot Dr. Coues last night, and was shown into the presence of the doctor and Baba Joshee, who were seated in tbe study. Baba J on bee is a swarthy little man, with keen black eyes and a very subtle expression of countenance, j Alter a few words of greeting, In which he used excellent English, he sat silently by, while the reporter conversed with Dr. Coues upon theoso phv. '1 cannot tell you what theosophy is," said the doctor, "and worse ttiun that, I cannot i give you the reasons for my secrecy. I am conscious that this must be very unsatisfactory and seem silly, yet if you under i stood theosophy you would appreciate my posi tlon. Iam pretty well known here as a scien i tlst; sufficiently so, I trust, to relieve me from the suspicion of being a humbug or yet quite a j fool. I have devoted my whole life to tbe study of science and philosophy, and in ail my re searches I have been sceptical to the extreme, never accepting anything as true until I could j prove it by scientific tests. I have made a scien 1 title study of the soul, and have absolutely nroven Its existence. I am not at liberty to tell you anything about theosophy, but we know absolutely the truths that Christians take on I raith. The Catholic priest tells you you have a soul. We can prove It. No, I am not at liberty to tell you bow, but the proof Is purely scien tific. "You ask me, why this secrecy? There are many reasons for It. But this alone Is enough: If everybody knew what Mr. Joshee and I do the social organism of the world would be thrown Into chaos. The knowledge could be used for harm as well forgood, and in the hands of bad men it would be a terrible weapon. I find It difficult to talk to you on the subject, be cause I have to be careful not to tell you what I have no right to. On this account I seem to I be talking in riddles and surrounding myself with a great deal of mystery. It Is not my de I sire, though, to appear mysterious. I wish I j could speak more rreely with you. "Mr. Joshee," he added, "how much can we tell the gentleman about theosophy?" THE HOLT MEN OF INDIA. Up to this time the distinguished and mys terious Indian had appeared to take no inter est in the conversation. But on being thus ad dressed be came over and took a seat near the reporter, and in a tew moments was talking very fluently. He, too, declared the Impossi bility of his telling what theosophy was, or re vealing any ot Its secrets, and though be talked for probably three-quarters of an hour, display ing a mind highly trained lu the most subtile school of philosophy, he kept his promise and told nothing. Though speaking of things that we are accustomed to associate only with super stitious minds, be seemed to be entirely above superstition and talked entirely from a scien tific standpoint. He seemed quite familiar witb western philosophy, as lie called our school of thought, and seemed disposed to laugh at it as being very trivial and childish. "You believe in a Supreme Being; a God;" he said:"We believe in the same. Only your God is stern and revengelul, and provides very se vere punishment tor evil; our God knows no evil. Our good men do not get upon the plat form and try to convert people. Conversion is not necessary in our country, and it is not at tempted anywhere. Our holy men live in their quiet way and tbe people see them. They see that they possess some great power and come to them to know what It is, that they may do likewise. These holy men are not endowed with any power that anybody else may not possess, by living the holy lives that they do. The power Is not sought, nor is it displayed. It comes as the consequence of their lives and is exercised in a very ordinary way, as a matter of course. There are holy men in India, to see whom people come from great distances, and they do wondertul things, not to show what they can do, but through charity or some such motive. They live there. You see no money and no food, nut they have every thing they want. You go into their room and there is nothing, but when the meal time comes they have it. It is the custom in India to salute on meeting, but if A man is in mourning he does I not salute, a.?f*he is supposed to be too much occupied with his grief. Among tbe thousands that came to see this holy man I speak of was an English officer. He saluted the holy man. 'Oh, do not do this,' said the holy man. 'Do not salute while you mourn.' 'But I am not in mourning,' replied the officer. ?on yes,* said the holy man. 'Your eldest son died at twelve o'clock this day.' "It was then about two o'clock. The father I could not believe, yet he was much disturbed. He went to the nearest telegraph office, and in due time heard from bis home in England, and found that all the good man had said was true. I Now this holy man did now know the officer; he had never seen or heard of him before, vet when he came before hiin in India he at once knew of his son's death that had occurred away I off in England, Just two hours before. This may seem very strange to you, but to us It seems nobbing wonderful. You have people here who pretend to tell fortunes, and to converse with spirits and all that sort of thing. They go around and find out something about you and tel: It to you. aud you wonder how they found out. There is nothing in it. But this is differ ent, and seems to us not wonderful. Theosophy is universal brotherhood; tbe theosophist sees by the light of his philosophy Into the past, present and fhture. There was a very good man in tne customs or revenue house in India. He gave away every thing he had. He got a good salary, but lived very humbly and gave all his money away, and would even go Into his house and take bis wife's food to give to some- i body that asked for iu He lived literally up to the words of Christ. He would take off bis coat to give to one who asked for it. He went without shoes, and would borrow money to I give away. He borrowed a sum of money one day and agreed at a certain time to pay It. Just before the time a strange man came with a note from him and paid tbe money to the man from whom It was borrowed. The place u as not so large but that everyone in It was k town, but no one had ever seen this man before, and he disappeared as suddenly as he came. When the good man came to pay bis debt a short time afterwards he was astonished to find that he owed nothing. In this stranger we saw some one sent by a superior power to relieve tbe boly man "I Just mentioned these two instances as they happened to come to my mind," he added. "W e well understand this power that is at talned by the eastern philosophy." A REVOLUTION APPROACHING. "The fact Is," broke In Dr. Coues, "the school of thought of the whole world is about to undergo a great revolution. We are approach ing a great Niagara, that will swallow up all the philosophies. We know," he added, address ing Baba Joshee, "we know from whence this i revolution will come. The lact is that our j western philosophy is weak, and of but flimsy fabric, and we have yet to learn the truth. As a scientific researcher, if I find there are other people who know more than I do, I try to find i out the source of their knowledge. I found It a mere matter of philosophy?a matter of reason? and I lound that all the truths that we merely claim to be so can be proven and known Instead of surmised. This knowledge can be attained In a perfectly natural way, but It Is a degree of intelligence and reason tbe Christian nations have not yet attained. It is an advance philos ophy. In what I say I speak from a scientific standpoint, and I know and have proven the things I merely hint at toyou. It may appear as If we desired to be vague Irom the way we speak, tor neither Mr. Joshee nor myselt have told you anything about our theosophy; but I assure you we have no desire to be mysteri ous. Only to tell anything would be to tell everything, and that we have no right to do. I As 1 have said, this knowledge In the hands of bad men would he a terrible thing; then, too, a mind not yet cultivated to follow out this high train of thought might be driven insane by it, and, moreover, lots ot mischief would be done. \V e can't afford to trust children with matches to set the world on tire." He was very much iu earnest while speaking, but talked In a practical sort of way. like one who knew the soundness of his position. "I have a statement here," be added, "which I will give you if you will receive It, with the assurance, upon my honor as a gentleman, that it is true. It is but one of many experiments I have made, and not the most remarkable one but it Is well described by the person with whom I communicated. I know the lady well she is of high standing, and I give you my word for the truth of the statement." I He tben handed The St a r reporter tbe fol lowing. which is signed by Elixa Archard: "THE TRUE STORY OF AN ASTRAL VISIT." "If my best friend bad told me the experience herein narrated had happened to him I could not have believed him. I would have thought he was dreaming, and did not know It, though I It would not have hurt his feeliugs by telling j him so. Spook, ghost or goblin were to me tbe creations of disordered brain. I c?wld no more i have believed in the existence of a spirit apart from the body, or surviving it after death than I could have believed iu tbe trinity, or the twelves gods of Olympus. Whatever was out side of the known laws oi matter was to me ab solutely non-existent. "1 had read of astral bodies, so-called, lighter than air. so etherlal that, like gases, they Smld pans through brick walls. When the material bodies of which they were the counterpart were chained in dead slumber It was said the spirit, clothed in this astral shape, could escape and flit whither It would, over the face of tbe earth, like a will o' the wisp, realising veritably Mrs. Browning s aspiration: "If men could ride siih naked souls, And uisks no uoise, and pay uo price at all." "Nonsense! Blather! "It was a figment of lancy. Those who pre tended to have, or had taith in snch stuff were about equally divided between frauds and fools. "Nothing short of what actually did happen could ever nave chaugcd my mlna. It was ue cess.?ry for me, with tuy own eyes,broad awake. In full possession of my senses to see an astral body. Only snch evidence, I contend, should be taken by anybody in a case like ibis. "Since tbe experience, here mentioned many others, more remarkable, have been mine, but concerning these there is silence. That was tbe first convincing one. it was in September, 1&&4. A pleasant acquaintance and friendship I or some yean standing had existed between Dr. Elliott Cones and myself. He had just re turned fcim across the water, with hfcad and heart rail of the strange beauties and mysteries of occult 6clenee. He called one evening. It was very hot, and we left the stuffy parlor and betook ourselves to the common people's open air breathing place, Madison Square park. We sat there under the twinkling electric lights till past lO o'clock, two hours perhaps. And nearly all that time the doctor was trying to convince me 01 the realities of things which now all good theosophlsts know to be true. He was passing eloquent?as he often Is?and I was stupidly In credulous, as I often am, too, Idr the matter of that. "I would as soon admit the moon was made of green cheese," I said. He told me ot wonders he bad witnessed. I laughed. "I believe you believe It," I said. "Very well, yon msy laugh," answered Dr. Cones; "but It's true, all the same. Clairvoy ance, mesmerism, astral visitations, are facts and the scientific world will be forced to admit it sooner or later. Happy they who have sense enough to give In to It sooner." I cannot remember the half be said, or the quarter. But It was all In the same train, the stupendous and daszllng acquisitions occult science ottered to her votaries, and the perlect purity of life and lofty unselfishness theosophy demanded of Its disciples. Finally, the doctor said: "I will tell you what I intend to do. Some night I am coming to visit yon in the astral shape." rSPlX' might be embarrassing." W ell, I shall come," be replied. "W hen you do. I'll believe In It." It was a rash promise. "Dr. ones went to his hotel. 1 went home and to my room, and bolted the door and re tred. In less than no time I was asleep. Never did slumber seal a mortal's eyes more "tight last" than mine that night. Towards morulng I was startled from a sleep so profound t hat It seemed like coming from another world. It was the touch of a hand and arm that roused me. Just as I waked, It flashed upon me that I bad been dreaming about Dr. Ooues. Some body was sitting upon the edge of the bed. I started up wildly. As I did so, I saw that the person who sat beside tne was Dr. Coues. The form and face were shadowy, but distinct and unmistakable. Then It was gone. In an instant; vanished "like the baseless fabric of a dream.'5 It faded out. "The impression the apparition left behind was so startling that I cannot describe it. It was there in my owb room, in my own bed, sitting up and gazing through the dim light at the blank wall. I was awake. In my full senses, II lever bad been. Often, in my past Hie, I had been wakened from sleep by a hand touch ing me. Most people have. The sensation was too familiar to be mistaken. Yet nobody was there. The door was fastened with an Iron bolt as I had lelt it. Nobody had been there. Nevertheless, I had seen and been touched and waked by my friend. He had visited me In astral form, just as he said be would do." DISTRICT CHARITIES. Report of the Inspections Made by the BesH ef Police Surgeons. Dr. C. H. A. Klelnscbmidt, secretary of the board of police surgeons, has made a report to the District Commissioners of the inspection of a part of the charitable Institutions of the Dis trict, in compliance with instructions. They state that the German Orphan asylum was found in rather an improved condition over that of last year. An addition has been erected to the original building, to be used as a general dining room, and the upper story as a dormi tory for boys, which will release the present crowded state of the main building. They sug gest that no future appropriation be made for enlarging the present building, which isof wood, remote from aid in case of fire, not even having a telephone communication with the city, po lice or fire department. Should future appro priations be asked for additional accommoda tions, they should be for a fire-proof building, and not lor the enlarging of a combustible one. The children, thirty-six In number, looked very well and clean. No death has occurred during the year. The Washington asylum was found In excel lent condition, the blemishes of last year hav ing been removed. The new hospital building is worth duplicating, so that all the hospital buildings may be replaced by new ones suited to the purpose for which they are used, and then all connected by a covered foot walk to pro tect physicians and patients from the weatner. The Home of the Little Sisters of the Poor was not inspected, because the sisters in charge very courteously objected to au official visit, but not to a social one. She stated that the spirit of their order prevented them from receiving gov ernment aid for the support of the home or any Eatient in the home, as the home was supported y begging and by personal gifts, but the build ing had been put up by money from the govern ment. While the visit was a pleasant one and everything was found in most excelleut con dition, the members of the board feel it just to the lady In charge to consider the visit un official. Ot the Home for Colored Women and Chil dren, 8th street extended, the report says that since the date of the last inspection tue new building that was erected last year has been oc cupied. This adds much to the comfort of the inmates. There seems to be ample air, space, and good ventilation. The children were gene rally in excellent condition and appeared to be contented and happy. An attending physician to the institution was appointed last spring. There were 95 children and 6 old women in the home at the date of the visit. The premises were well kept. In the Childrens hospital there were forty one patients. The average dally attendance at the dispensary was upwards of twenty. The neat and orderly appearance of this institution was again observed. Extraordinary precau tions against tire have beeu taken by placing chemical fire extinguishers in many places. The inmstes looked as well as could be expected considering the nature of their afflictions. In the church orphanage, there were flfty-flve children. It gives great pleasure to the board to report the excellent condition of these chil dren. They were very happy and all seemed to be in excellent health. Since last year an ad dition has been built. This gives ranch room. In this building there Is the dining room, a school room, and two dormitories; they are all well lighted, heated, and ventilated. The In dustrial home school institution was found in excellent condition In everv respect. The In mates were clean and healthy looking. The food is good quality and variety. The dormi tories, washrooms, school and play rooms are tidy and well ventilated. At the St. Ann's infant asylum the Inspection revealed the same condition of excellent man agement noticed in former reports. The chil dren appeared in excellent couditlon, were well fed, clean and cheerful. The playroom and dormitories are clean and well ventilated, the lylng-ln ward and private rooms are well suited for their purpose. With regard to the Columbia hospital for women, the surgeons say they can but reiterate their commendations of the last report. The wards and rooms are In excellent sanitary con dition. while special attention is paid to thorough and systematic dlslnfectlou. Tbe condition of tbe Emergency hospital bap been much improved sluce last Investigation. The number of prescriptions compounded during tbe past year was 2*2,000. Number of patients treated, between five and six thou sand; average number of cases per week, 30. Tbe management of tbe hospital seems to be satisfactory, ail the officers performing their duties with fidelity. The institution has two ?1 a no tunvitUUUU lias two resident physicians and one apothecary. While this hospital is doing a great amount of good work, great care should be exercised to see that the charities thus extended should In all

W..?W W.wuwou BUVUIU III Sftli C&SCS be given only to such as are not able to make proper compensation. The continuance of the present appropriation is earnestly solicited. Everything pertaining to tbe management of tbe reform school and its sanitary arrange ments was as good as the circumstances would allow. The farm furnishes an abuudance of fresh vegetables. The bread is of excellent quality. Number of inmate* 163?colored, 98, and white 07. The scnool has been in existence sixteen years, during which time there have been seven deaths, a remarkably small death rate, which speaks well for tbe management. The water-closets In the yard are not supplied* with water. The managers claim that the water supply is deficient. The board suggests as a remedy that the rain-water from the differ ent buildings be collected into alarge tank. Tbe dormitories for the accommodation of the colored boys were found to be In a very crowded condition, there being forty sleeping, In one room, sixty by forty, and forty-eight in another of the same dimensions. This did not allow sufficient air space per boy. Tbe wonder Is, tbe report says, that such a condition has not caused some virulent disease. This Is not tbe fault of tbe management, as they lack room. Tbe remedy for this crying evil Is the erection of another building to meet the in creasing demands of this much-needed Institu tion. In tbe Aged Women's Home, which af fords a home to a number of aged Indigent women, tbe rule Is to provide a separate room for each inmate. Tbe rooms were found clean and tidy, and tbe beneficiaries in as good physi cal condition as could be expected in people of their uge. The food is good and abundant. The Night Lodging-house had not begun op erations tit the date of this report. A Maple Effective Mouse ssd Rat Vrmp. To tbe Editor of Tux Evkxino Stab: Many people are troubled with mice In their rooms, rattling among papers at nig tit, waking thein up and so on. Tbey can be got rid of In a short time, as follows: Take a water bucket, or box, ot proper size, and place It on tbe floor bottom upward. Place some crumbs ot bread, cheese, or other bait beneath. Then place within a sufficiency of paper to form a good hiding place. Then place a peg of proper length, to which one end of a sir ng Is tied, under one side. Tbe other end of the string should be secured near tbe bed. When you near rattling among the paper, reaob out, pull tbe string ana throw your trap, and you have them. Six at one haul Is tbe best I have yet done, but In many localities more can doubtlecs be taken. It would be better to place the trap on a board of proper size, having a small Irate about tbe center. After the trap Is throws, torn over, board oa top, and apply water. CtrxioaiBHOT. To tbe Kdttor of the Kvskims brab: I notice the suggestion of Mr. Small, that 2,ooo lbs. or eoal be sold for a ton instead of the 2,240 lbs. now required, and should like to know bis reason for the change. As I under stand It, the general custom is to eount 2,240 lbs. as a ton of coal, and that U Is an bought by the dealers. If that be so, tbea the proposed change would simply be giving the dealers 240 lbs. ol coal out of every ton sold by them, for of course tbe price per ton arould not be changed at all. Some light on this dark subject would seem to be In order. Autuu. November 10,188& THE WHITS HOUSE ?IM AID ClOWi. TlMt HlkcriMc in BantM-Tha Bpamn. the 4 i? Crtw. For the put week workmen have been busily engaged in raking np the dead leaves that have fallen from the trees In the White House grounds, and making huge pile* oi them. The strong wind made it difficult to rake clean and frequently scattered the piles when formed. The men have not been working by the Job though, and did not seem to mind going over their work. These piles of leaves will not be left on the grounds. They will be dumped into the fountain basin in the -different parts of the grounds after the water is turned off, to prevent the cold from cracking the musonry. Over these leaves will be placed evergreen trees to keep them in place, and the fountains will nave a nice warm blanket till spring. The most Interested spectators of the past week's work were a number of trump dogs, who intend hibernating at the bottom of the fountain basins. They will burrow among the leaves and make their beds at the bottom where they can oe perfectly warm and com fortable during the coldest winter weather. This has been a dog custom fur many years past. When spring comes and their homes are broken up, the dogs have become so accustomed to the surroundings that tbey are unwllllnz to leave the vicinity of tlte White House, and have to be continually driven away. The little yel low dog, that became famous in the Garfield Inauguration procession, came from the White House fountains, as did his yellow and white descendants, who patiently await ed the starting of President Cleveland's Inaugural procession last March. The dogs who will taire up their winter guarters In the foun tains this year can already be seen about the grounds at all hours of the day. They spend the nights in the piles of leaves. They cannot be driven away, for they know when they have a good thing. Their number is not as large as it would be but for several recent visits or the dog catchers In the early morning hours. Sev eral of the canine tramps who had their winter quarters selected are now no more. The White House grounds have always been a favorite resort for birds and ani mal*. Nowhere in the city were the little Eugllsh sparrows more plentiful than here. They built their nests in the vines in the rear of the White House and in the hollow cannon balls that surmount the railing of the port cochere. Their presence was fatal to the Innumerable robins who oome every spring. The sparrows made such war upon inem that only a portion of their former num ber hop about Ine grounds after the frost is zone, and those do not care to stay long. It looks now as if the robins would have a better chance pext spring, for there Is scarcely a spar row to be seen about the place. Ited pepper sprinkled on the leaves of the vines in which the sparrows built their nests, aided by a morn ing and evening shaking up with long poles, ftroved quite effective. Crows, too, bad a hand n the fight. The thousands of crows which for a long time have passed over the city every morning from their Virginia home to Mary land feeding grouuds, were apt to become be wildered on foggy mornings, and fre quently some of them made the White House grounds a stepping place. They seemed to like the place, ana some took up tlielr permanent quarters there, and if they did not continue to the grain fields with their companions, picked up their meals around the neighborhood, and had young sparrows for des sert. The sparrow parents and other relatives made a vigorous resistance to this system of robbery, aud frequently got the better of the crows, but it seems as ii there was too much op position to them, lor they have cleared out. The crows, too. have taken their de parture, The only thing left to remind one of them is a large crow's nest In the extreme top of one or the trees on the edge or the roadway leading up to the White House from the avenue. It was built there last spring, and in it a family of little crows passed their in fancy. The tramp dogs, however, still retain possession of the grounds, and it looks as if some ot the army of office-seekers who are now excluded from the building might be glad to share their quarters this winter.

ROSES OF SHADOW. A Novel. By T. R. Sulli van. ?w York: Charles scribner'a bona Washington: Win. Ballantyne A Son. This is a novel of somewhat the old-fashioned sort, where fine writing and subtle analyses of character are subordinated to plot and action. Not that It Is sensational. Nothing of the sort. Only the characters are vigorously drawn, healthy and full of lite, and the interest of the reader is constantly excited as to what will happeu next. It is, in short, a clever success; and if, as we understand, it is a first effort, it Is safe to predict that a new name is shortly to be added to the list of popular American story writers. SUZETTE. A Novel. By Mary Spkau Tiebnan, author of 'Houio-iplle." it-. V W Yo k: Heiiffy Holt A Co. Wa-ii.lng.on: m eat mo Blethers. "Suzette" is far from a strong novel, but it has a good many characteristics that will make It popular with a large class of readers. It gives an excellent idea of life in the southern states while slavery existed, and its characters are those who gave to the society of that period and section iu distinctive fiuvor, while the manner iu which the Beast was subdued by the Beauty is very cleverly told. DORA'S DEVICE. By Geobue R. Catheb, Editor of "The southern JEgis, Ashville, Ala. Phila delphia: T. B. Peterson ft Brothers. A wild, improbable story, that may commend itself to the lovers of the sensational in fiction, iu that it abounds In thrilling situations, murders and suicide; but time spent In reading It might be used to much better purpose. As the breakfast is the key-note to the day, it is important that that meal be made as attrao tive as possible. In this direction Mr. Thomas J. Murrey's little book entitled "Breakfast Dainties," published by White, Stokes A Allen, New York, (received through Robert Beall) will be found of great help. It contains many Inexpensive receipes for hoalthful breakfast dishes, with plain directions for the prepara tion or the simplest articles of food in the most tempting manner, together with useful sugges tions as to relishes, etc. It Is In brief just such a handbook as a young housekeeper would like to have within easy reach. Marion Harland's "Common Sense In the Nursery" (from Charles Scribner"s Sons, through Ballantyne Son), is a book that will espe cially commend itselt to mothers, and particu larly to those without much experience in the care ot Bmali children. It is made up in part of papers originally contributed by the author to Babyhood, and contains in the way of informa tion, advice aud suggestion a great deal that will be of the utmost value to those for whom It is Intended.

Mr. David Neai, the well-known American painter, m long resident In Munich, arrived in New York from Germany on Saturday. He has a large number of commissions for portraits in various parts of the country, and will be several weeks in Chicago, where be is to puint a frieze for the library Of Mr. Potter Palmer's new buu>e. and also portraits of members of his famiiv. Mr. Neal will remain in this oountry six or eight months. A special exhibition of water-colors by Mr. Walter Paris, ot this city, Is now open In Bos ton, to continue until the 21st Inst. The cata logue Includes thirty-five numbers. In frames, aud many more shown in portfolios, and em braces a wide range of subjects. As may be supposed, the collection is attracting consider able attention, and many of the qualities shown in his work are highly praised by the Boston cognoscenti. Messrs. Heaton, Paris and Weyl are the only Washington artists represented in the spe cial fall exhibition of oil paintings and water colors now open in the American Art Galleries iu New York. Mr. Heaton sent "The Weaver's Daughter;" Mr. Paris shows three water-colors, entitled, respectively. "Sunset Rock, East Gloucester," ^CoasU Cape Ann'" and "Foutain bleau." while Mr. Weyl contributes a "Scene near Washington." Launt Thompson expects to have the model of his equestrian statue of Gen. Burnside for the city ol Providence completed by January, and the group will probably be Inaugurated on the anniversary ol General Burnside's Mrthday, May 23d next. The statue, which will be tnir teen feet six inches high, represents the General holding a field glass iu one nand, with his head a little to the left, and looking as if he had just finished taking a survey of his troops, The corner stone of a monument to Schiller was laid, with appropriate ceremonial observ ances, in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, last Tuesday. Over two thousand persons were present on the ocoaslon, in spite ol the lnclem eut weather then prevailing. The monument will cost about 912,ooo when completed, and the present expectation is that it will be dedi cated on the loth of November next year,?the one hundred and twenty-seventh anniversary of the great poet's birth day. A movement has been set on foot by the veterans of the late war living in New Jersey to erect a national monument to General Mc Clellau at Washlngton. The project is not suf ficiently matured to have decided just what form the proposed memorial shall take, put the present sentiment so far as expressed seems to be in favor ol a statue, either equestrian or pedestrian. There would be great propriety in adding one of McClellan to the equestrian groups now erected at the natioual capital, aud there is every reason to believe, as Is expected oy the projectors of the enterprise, that Con gress would vote it substantial aid. It is pleasant to hear that sufficient pro gress has been made in the matter of arrange ments for Mr. Messer's lecture, next Wednes day evening, to make the affair a decided com pliment to that gentleman, so far as the assured size and character of the audience is concerned, aud also the occasion for a more substantial recognition of the esteem in which he is held by his friends. We trust it will prove to he both. 1 he discourse is one that will be well worth listening to, whether the hearer is di rectly Interested in art or not, and there should pot be a vacaut seat in the hall when the lec turer opens his manuscript. Young Mr. Major, who, It will be remem bered, won in New York last spring the Hall garten prise, wl ch entitled the holder to a thorough course of art instruction in Europe, has recently sent home some of the drawings troin life executed siuce his arrival in Paris which fully justiiy the high expectations en tertained by his friends when he weut abroad. Although made under tne unfavorable con ditions of a class-room, they all give evidence of thought and care, shoving at once strength ol touch and graceful treatment. Mr. Major is under the personal tuition ot one or two ofthe best figure painters of the modern French school, who notonly express themselves pleased with the progress he has made, but predict lor him a brilliant future.

The Baldwin Family Tragedy. A BROTHER ON TRIAL FOR THE MURDER OF HI8 SISTER?A KANSAS COURT SCENE. Willie Baldwin, charged with the murder of his sister Mary, whose share of their father's leghcy, It Is alleged, he coveted, and which he would have acquired by her death, was called In court iu Atchison, Kansas, Thursday for trial. His youug wife and bis mother, both of whom are firm in their conviction that Willie is innocent, were in court. His mother is al most unable to bear up under the tragical death of her daughter and the suspicion that rests upon her son. The prisoner appeared calm and listened closely to the testimony, and frequently made suggestions to counsel. Attornev Gilbert made a brief statement ot the case aud* what he expected to prove. He said that the father ol the defendant died in November last, leav ing an estate valued at 950,000. That the defendant was one of the heirs, and his interest would be increased In the event of the death of his sister. That the prisoner was reckiessand a spendthrift, and often needed money; that he murdered his sister by chloro forming her, and since her death had evinced no emotion. Before taking testimony the court informed the spectators that the prisoner should not be convicted by public clamor, and that any outbursts would subject them to fine and im prisonment. This was done because a very strong feeling exists against young Baldwin. The witnesses who first discovered the murdered girl testified that she lay In a natural position that the condition of the room did not indicate a burglaty; that a panel was cut ou* of the back kitchen door, but was evidently done to sustain the suggestion of a burglar's entrance. Three physicians testified that death was caused by aspbixla, the result of the administration of chloroform, and her position when found showed that she could not have taken it her self. A.H. Lewis, who was deceased's affianced bus band, testified that he was with her the night before the tragedy and that she was then in the best of spirits, also that Willie frequently im portuned his mother and sister for money. The defense will endeavor to prove that the deceased came to her death at the bands of a burglar; that she committed suicide, or Inad vertently took an overdose ol chloroform. The case is attracting more attention than any other trial In a Kansas court lor years. The Virginia Conference of the M. E. Church South.?The one hundred and third annual session of the Virginia conference of the M. E. church South began In Petersburg, Va..

A BELIEF THAT THIS WILL END THE CLAIMS OF SABAH ALTHEA HILL?HIS PROPERTY IN THIS DISTRICT. Ex-Senator Sharon died In San Francisco at half-past three o'clock yesterday afternoon. There was no clergyman present. The ex-Senator left several charitable be quests, but their nature is not yet known Some days ago he made a solemn declara tion that he had never offered marriage to or married Sarah Althea Hill, and that, in his belief, her claim to be his wife was merely a conspiracy to extort money. He declared that he had never entertained a thought of yield ing to this conspiracy; that he never would yield to It while he lived, and solemnly adjured bis heirs and executors never to yield to It. He also made a deed of trust conveying all his property lu the states of California, Nevada, Ohio. Missouri, Illinois and the District of Columbia to Frauds G. Newlauds and Frederick W. Sharon, lu trust. The pro|>erty is to be divided as follows: One third Is logo to Frederick W. Sharon, one-third to Lady Fermor-Hesketh, formerly Florenoe Emma Sharon; one-twelfth to Francis G. New lauds and one-twelfth to each of Newlands' three children. Sharon's estate Is valued at $0,000,000, and his property in the District of Columbia is estimated to be worth one million. Gen. Barnes, Senator Sharon s counsel, said yesterday that the death of the Senator ended the case of Sarah Althea HUL "She can goto the probate court," said* be. "and ask for a widow s share of the commuulty property. Then we will deny that she is Sharon s widow, and she will have a chance to prove It if she can. Her wituesses have confessed their per jury. She cannot put iu as evidence the Judg ment iu Judge Sullivan's court, for, under a de cision ot the Supreme Court, while a Judgment Is pending on appeal It cannot be used as evi dence for any purpose. Neither is the allmouy coilectable, lor an order of alimony caunot lie against the estate or the executors of a dead man. Judge Sullivan's Judgment la by no means a final decree." William Sharon was born at Smlthfleld.Ohlo, January 9. 1821, was admitted to the bar iu SL Louis, abandoned the practice of bis profession and In 1849 made his way to 8an Francisco, where he conducted a real estate office for four teen years. Then William C. Ralston, at that time manager of the Bank of Sun Francisco, en gaged him as his representative at the mines.. An opportunity soon came for Sharon to specu late. Having control of a large sum of money belonging to the Bank of San Francisco he in vested it in the Crown Point and Belcher mines, and during the first halt of 1872 cleared $15,000,000 in hard cash. Mr. Sharon was elected to the United Slates Senate from the state of Nevada in 1875. He served one full term of six years as a republican. Sarah Althea Hill was to have made her debut on the stage In Sau Francisco last night, but it was postponed. tislvesfon'N Ureal Mliifortasc. THE LOSS PLACED AT BETWEEN TWO AND TWO AND A HALF MILLIONS. The best posted citizens estimate the loss by the flre In Galveston yesterday at fully $2,000,000, while many who claim to have figured on the matter put the estimate as high as $2,600,000. The county Jail, a brick build ing, with 40 inmates, was saved by the bard work of firemen and cltisens. though it was on fire a dozen times. At one time during the fire the wind blew at the rate ol 80 miles an hour. The total area of the burned district Is 100 acres, and forty aud one-half blocks were swept clean of everything combustible. Over 400 houses were burned, and it is estimated by the relief committee that about 1,000 families were rendered homeless, the great m^ority of whom, especially the poorer ones, lost every thing.

It Is nothing new in Russia to see a band as convicts in their coarse gray uniform, with a large orange-colored cross coveting the back, trudge wearily along on their way to Siberia. But these miserable caravans are formed of men, only female convicts being generally oon veyed by rail or steamer. Home eighty-four of these latter left Odessa the other day by the steamer Costrotne for the Island of sakalhln, on the coast of eastern Hiberla. According to the A'?w IVenyo, thirty-six of the women were transported lor murder or attempted murder of their husbands, twenty-two ol the thlrtv-slx being under the age of twenty.

Mellon Is concealing himself in or near this city. While there have been no develop ments nor any indication* pointing to such a conclusion, yet that seems to be the general opinion, but it Is quite probable that not hall a dozen persons know where he is. The question is asked how long he will remain out of the reach of the police. A gentleman who has had considerable experience In police eases asked yesterday. If it be true that the indictment is defective, as claimed by Mr. Mellen'n counsel, an 1 that it could be knocked sky-high, why does not Mr. Mellen come out? When the requi sition is presented to the governor, his counsel well knows that he would have a fair hearing, and ir r.he Indictment is not valid and a true hill found, h?' would again be a free man. "Mr. Meilen hardly gains anything by concealing himself," said" Hie gcutleiuan in question. "He will either have to face the music or remain concealed. It he remain* concealed he will bo a fugitive from justice and cannot conduct busl. ness any where in the United States." Mr. W. Hoi lings worth Whvte, Mr. Mellen's counsel. ?aid he had actually not heard a thing In regard to his client's case, but he thought something interesting would turn up betore long. Another Respite Looked For. THE OKULli FOR RfEl/S EXECUTION NOT YET RE CEIVED AT REGINA. A dispatch from Regina, N. W. T., dated last night, says: Preparations for the hanging of Kiel are completed. In the absence of an of ficial order from the government to carry out the sentence of death on Kiel, it seems probable to-night that he will be again respited. The order directing that the execution take place next Wednesday has not yet arrived, and a statement is made to-night that unless a specific order arrives by to-morrow morning the Judge will issue an order lor a further respite. Kiel received a letter from his mother and wife yesterday, written 011 the eve of his ex pected execution. The mother believes in the divine mission of her son. The letter is very pathetic, and tears were shed by the con demned man. Kiel has made his will. He leaves only a small amount of land in Monta na, ana his will U more of a.polltical harangue thaii anything eise.

The dude's gold eyeglasses were flying wildly In the air at the end of a short black string, one lapel of his l'rinee Albert coat was firmly grasped i>v the left hand of the man behind; his high silk hat. with a broad black baud around it, was crushed down around his ears; a bloody cut below one of his optics imparled a ghastly ap pearance to his face, which was heightened by tiie seared look in his eyes, and altogether be presented a pitiable sight. The attacking party wore the everyday garb of a workingman, and in his manner and gen eral make-up lie betrayed his calling as that of a butcher. His broad, heavy lace was infuriated with passion, and a bad, determined look gleamed from Ills eyes. With one hand he en deavored to pull his victim toward him, while with the other he punuiieled liiui viciously. The two men ran across 5th street and down ulive. Just in front of MeKissock Seaman's tailor shop the man with gold glas-.es succeeded in jerking his coat from the grasp of the butcher iioy, and he made a wild break lor the store and took retuge there. At this point several police men who had been in hot pursuit of the flying couple arrived 0:1 tin- scene and prevented any further demonstrations by either party by placing both under arrest. Then it was learned the thumper was Henry Lubert, while his dudish victim was Max (John. Colin flatly retu.-ett to say anything save that i he was a traveler for a New York firm, but 1 I.ubert talked quite freely. He said that Colin j had on last Tuesday fnsulted his sister. Mrs. l'hlel. on the street, following her for several blocks. The lady is the wife of a stove and tin- I ware merchant, who carries on an extensive 1 business in North Third street. Colin had per-j sisted in his attentions until the lady threat- ened to call a policeman, when lie left her. Tiiis morning, however, he sent- a note to her resi- i deuce, asking lier to meet him. Her brother got the note and respon-.Ied to it in jierson. He lound Colin at the rendezvous and the result was the scene above descrloed. Both men were released on ball.

A young man named Buck Bryant, I one of the victims, was brought to Handera late ia-t night in a dying condition by his father for medical treatment.

As he has large Interests In Virginia, and his term in the Senate does not expire until March, 18?7, Mr. Mahone will neither leave his state nor resign his seat at Washington.

There ore still inquiries made regarding the fall of the meteor In this vicinity some weeks ago. Scientist* have been very much interested, and while some have comfe here personally to fain some knowledge of It, others have written to whoever here would be likely to know about It. Prof, a P. Langley has been unable to Ana any portion of it. He writes to the of his Investigations as follows: on the after noon of Saturdav, September at a little after 4 o'clock, loud detonations were heard over a considerable area of western 1 BnnsyK aoja, and circumstantial reports were Rnbsequently given in t he press of the fall of a large which was described as beine half ?,ur'emen. It lias privileges with regard to -tand, carriages, enclosure, etc., at Newmarket. It is supreme in all questions with reference to raeiug, with questions, that is to say, which are not dealt with by the (?rand National Hunt committee. This latter power is a self-elected body, which deals with cross-country sport.?steeple chases, hurdle races, and racers for hunters carrying not less than ten stone over courses of not less distance than two mile*. The Grand National Hunt committee is not formally recognized in all re spects by the Jockey club,yet many membersof one are members of the other. The Jockey cmb business Is directed by three stewards, who move annually. You will find a list of mem bers, the rules of the club, and much about it, in JluJT.t Guide to the Turf, to which I beg to refer the reader who desires to flounder on the frontiers of a country he may not enter, and concern ingtne personal administration of which my friend says, 'you might as well ask a minister to give von an account of a cabinet meeting as a->k one of its chiefs to tell what they do at tneir most secret meetings.' London has always been fond of sports. History and fiction ure full of the picturesque record of her archery, hawking, tennis, palluiail, her hunting in Kp|> ing lorest, and more recently of her modern recreations. No fashionable novel is complete without a picture of Hurlingham. a lawn tennis match, or a boating s?-eueou the upper Thames, unless the story be intended as a special attrac tion for men, and then it introduces Tatter-alls and Newmarket, a betting club, or a descent of London hunting men upon Melton.''

Hannah built a large bouse and filled It from cellar to attic with a heterogenous mass of matter in the sliaiie of ciothing, expecting to realise a handsome profi:, averaging at least ONE HUNDRED PER CENT on the sale of each and every garment. But monu memai brick and glass auJ glare and glitter did not txert the potent influence nor produce the mar velous effect calculated on by HANNAH, and therefore hope is dead, Hannah's heart la beery, and, on the whole, SHE is a very sick MAN. The PEOPLE nibbled at the tempting bait, but being warned by past experiences recoiled before the treacherous fangs so gorgeously and artt?ttc*lly con cealed couill be fastened upon them.

Ws Do jSTot Exaookratb When we say that at the reduced prices latfcy made in Woolen Drees Goods, they are the beet Intrinsic values ever shown ever oar counter*, or Out can be Ibttnd anywhere. Having made new purchases at nearly 80 p?f cent less than tbe same goods could have been bought early In the season. We /narked down our stotk on hand, enabling our oustom en to buy al cheaply as snch qualities can pos sibly bo nought la any city of tbe Union.

Our prices fell with the market. We look beyond Washington to ascertain the goings on in the retail traders most of our com petition Is out of the city. We watch the closest those merchants in Bal timore, New York. Philadelphia, and Boston, who are the largest retailers of Dry Goods in the country, and must necessarily name the lowest prices. Expect us to quote the lowest price possible, compatible wtth the quality. Our experience is that the people will buy where they can get the moat fbr their money, and we think we strike the key-note when wo tell you that If some one else can sell yon the same goods at a less price we will cheerfhlly re fund the money. In addition to the extraordinary reductions made the first of the week, we quote the follow ing: 40-lnch "Boucle"' Suitings, In navy, seal, bronse, myrtle, golden brown, and dregs of wine, REDUCED FROM ?1 TO 75c. PER YARD. 42-inch "Boucle" Cloth, in Havana Brown, Myrtle Green, Garnet, Seal and Bronse. REDUCED FROM $1.50 TO $1 PER YARD. Note.?Only a few pieces now remain of the 75c. Homespun Saltings, reduced to50c.; hence un early call is necessary. The "Novelty" Suitings are meeting with a very rapid sale at tbe reduced prices, they being really the sacrifice of the season, and at these prices cannot possibly last long. When we reduce the price we make it an object and It means a rapid sale for that articiA f 10yards 42-Inch material. 1 6 yards and 5yards figured./ $10 SUITS NOW $7.50 $13.75 SUITS NOW $10. $15 SUITS NOW $10. $17.50 SUITS NOW $15. $20 SUITS NOW $15.

The previous receptions of this club, which mar be said to represent the intellectual Ride or lire at the capital, were exceedingly delightful en tertainments, both for the charming manner In which the Club plays the part of host and the notable assemblages It 1* able to bring together. Those fortunate enough to be en the list of in vlted guests may therefore regard themselves as specially favored ol late, Mia all the more so lor the reason that the somewhat limited ac commodations of the Club renders a restricted number of invitations absolutely necessary. A discussion the other evening of the descrip tion given in last Saturday's Stab of Mrs. ex Representative Mitchell's pompadour luncheon party In Milwaukee brought out the gossip that a prominent lady in Washington society Is con sidering the idea ot giving during the season an old-fashioned "minuet party," where all the guests will appear In lull-dress continental cos tume, including powdered wigs and the myriad ot elaborate details entering into the dress of both sexes dnring that period. The music, dec orations, refreshments, etc., generally will also closely conform to the general idea Involved in the entertainment. It is "informally announced" by the Boston Beacon that Dr. William A. Hammond, of New York, Is engaged to be married to Miss Esther D. Ctaapin, ol Providence. Dr. Hammond's first wife, It will be remembered by the older mem bers of Washington society, was a Miss Nlsbet, of Philadelphia, whose family afterward re sided here until separated by death. Mr. Hugh Nlsbet, so long in the Post Office department, who died a couple of years ago, was her brother. Mrs. J. M. D. Lander, of this city, was one of the guests at thebreakfastgiven at Delmonico's by the ladies of Soros Is, In New York, to Mary Anderson on Tuesday. The affair, which was largely attended bv the many ot the most nota ble women of the city and vicinity, lasted for more than three hours, the menu consisting of eight courses. It differed In no respect from the banquets given under the auspices of gen tlemen, save that there was a total absence of wine. The toasts were all drun it in Croton straight. After the viands had dlsappeard the company were entertained with short speeches, a couple of original poems, music, recitations, etc. Mr. and Mrs. T. Ii. Pracker, 17 Iowa Circle, have issued cards for the marriage for their daughter Marie Antoinette and Mr. Geo. W. Woelper, of New Orleans, to take place at the family residence on the evening of Wednesday, the 25th Inst., at half past seven o'clock. Fol lowing the ceremony the newly wedded couple will go north, for an extended tour, after which they will go to New Orleans, where they will reside in iuture. The many Mends of Mrs. Harriet Prescott Spofford in Washington will receive with pleasure the intelligence that that lady receives a legacy ol $'25.CMX) under a bequest of the late Mr. Pierce, the well known Boston capitalist. Mr. Pierce's two children are commended to Mrs. Spofford, "well knowing," he says, "the value which her considerate care and affection may be to them, and how much advant:?ge their education may derive from her oversight and advice." Mr. Spofford received the same sum. Judge Emory Spear has taken a very hand some house in Savannah, and will make that city his home hereafter. Judge Spear's wife, it will be remembered, is the daughter ol Dr. J. E. Morgan of this city, and her many friends In Washington will be pleased to learn that she has been most cordially received at their new home. They expect to spend the hot season of each year at Atlanta. The announcement that Mr. John W. Book waiter, of Ohio, will spend the coming winter In Washington will be gratifying intelligence to those Interested in the social attractions ot the national capital. Mr. Bookwalter acquired several years since a very large fortune in manu facturing enterprises, and sluce his withdrawal from politics he has spent much time In foreign travel, which he has turned U> excellent account In the observation of the people and institu tions of other countries, ana in the collection of rare and valuable objects relating to the arts. Mr. Bookwalter will prove to be a desirable ac quisition to uny circle, and it is more than likely, If his realizations of a winter in Wash ington equal his expectations, that he will take up his permament residence here. There are one or two points In the following extract, floating about anonymously, that should not be lost upon the ladies of Washing ton: Foreigners say "American women entertain well."' They do, when they entertain according to their native customs; but when they serve roast beef with Yorkshire pudding to an Eng lishman and macaroni to an Italiau they make a mistake. An American meal should be served in American style, both as to dishes and ceremony. We have food tit for the gods among our native viands, and it needs only the tact of a truly American housewife In serving it to make it very enjoyable. Just here we recail to mind a ceremonious dlnuer given by a society lady last season, where everything was English, you know, and the amount of tor eign stiffhess and etiquet were so ail-prevall Ing that the very gravy seemed to be chilled with cold ceremony, and the hearts of the guests grew stonv as the leaden hours dragged on and the awe-inspiring footmen showed no signs of relenting, but still kept their victims pegging away at those foreign dishes; and then we remember a little supper given by a charming hostess in one of the suburbs, where they had broiled chicken, American style, hot bread, ditto steaming coffee, ditto raw fried po tatoes, ditto etc., etc., and plenty of lively con versation and a Jolly good time generally. Thinking of these two feasts, looking upon this picture and then upon that, we vote for Ameri can customs forever. Dinners of ceremony are a rock ahead, wldch every lady should "sheer off" from, as Capt. Cuttle would say, unless site Is very sure of ner bearings. It takes a genius to give a dinner, and t he only safety for persons with but nmderate resources at their com maud lies in simpler feasts?11 o'clock breakfasts, 1 o'clock luncheons, 5 o'clock teas, and lO o'clock suppers,?always in American style. The large element In fashionable society in Washington which is interested in the principles as well as the visible representation of esthetics, and especially In theirappllcatlon to household or decorative art, will not fall to take note of the course of lectures shortly to be given by Mr. Edmund Russell, of New York, at the art rooms of Mrs. Bruce, on E street,?the first taklug place next Tuesday evening. Mr. Rus sell comes to Washington Introduced as master of the theme he has chosen ior elucidation, and those who hear him are certain to be instructed as well as entertained. The marriage in New York on Thursday of Chaplain Morrison, formerly Assistant Rector of the Church of the Ascension in this city, was quite a noted social affair. The bride was Miss Julia Pomeroy, daughter of the late George Pomeroy, and the wedding took place in Grace Church, Bishop Potter performing the cere mony, with four other clergymen in the chan cel. "She wore a gown of palest green silk, com bined with point lace and silver brocade, and made with a full train and low-cut corsage tilled In with tulle. A veil ol point lace was held by diamond pins, and she carried a bouquet of lilies-of-the-valley. There were no bridesmaids. The ushers were all young naval officers. Later a reception was held at tnetamlly residence, 33 Fifth Avenue, which was attended by ex-Pres Ident Arthur, ex-Mlnister and Mrs. Astoi\ Sen ator and Mrs. McPherson, nearly all the officers of the navy In and near New York and their families, and many well-known lashlonable people of the city and vicinity. Mrs. General Casey and her daughter, who have usually passed a portion of each season here, will pass the coming winter in New York. Regrets are generally expressed by those who enjoyed the entertainments Mrs. Van Auken gave last season to hear that Miss Cornelia Van Auken's approaching marriage to Dr. Heneber ger will prevent the family from returning to Washington the approaching season. The Lotos Club of New York Intends to give a complimentary dinner to the sculptor Bar tholdl at an early date. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard W. Jerome will spend the coming winter in the south of France.

Fortune, at her home in O-street alley, was called for trial in the Police Court to day.

Bitter Bread.?Complaint is frequently made by those who use baking powders that they leave in bread, biscuit, or cake raised by them a disagreeable, hitter, taste. This teste follows the use of ail Impure baking powders, and Is caused either by their containing alum (Introduced to make a cheap article), by the impure and adulterated character ot other In gredients used, or from the Ignorance of their manufacturers of the proper methods ot com bining them. These Baking powders leave in the bread a residuum formed of lime, earth. all physicians classed as injurious to health. The Royal Baking Powder to free from this serious detect.

The report at Civil Engineer Menocal, rwmt ly submitted to the Secretary of the N?ry, at the survey expedition of the Nicaragua canal route, gives a wry detailed account of the work done by the expedition. 1 be propneed route extend* from the harbor of Greytown, on the Caribbean sea, to Brlto, on the Pacific, Total length, 169.8 mile*, of which 38.98 mile* will be excavated canal and 4:10.82 mile* naviga tion by Lake Nicaragua, the river Han Juan the baain ot the Han Francisco and seven lock*. Mr. Menocal ssy* tbat the apparent Ineffi ciency of the Hoe* canal to accommodate a traffic of more than 6,000,000 tons a year shows that the dimensions proposed in previous re ports for a canal across Nicaragua should be considerably enlarged. It is proposed now not only to enlarge the water prism ot the canal but to provide two large basins at extremities of the lochs where vessels can wait or pass without delay. These turnouts, together with the lake, river and Han Francisco basin, will greatly facilitate naviga tion and allow vessels to pass each other at al- I most all points. An increase in the estimated cost will result, but It Is thought best to provide for the largest commerce vessels and a traffic of not less than 12.000.000 tons per year. Provision has also been made for illuminat ing the whole route at ntght. In the lake and In the greater portions of the Han Juan, vessel* j will be able to travel a* fast a* at sea.and the es timated time of transit by steamer of the entire canal la 30 hours. Fine itmber for all purposes, rubble masonry, cement ot the country, granite of fine quality, trap rock and brick clay abound j along the line of the caoal. The climate is coin paratively healthy; not one of the party was i sick from climatic influences. The water suit ply from Lake Nicaragua will be more than ten times enough to supply traffic at 3:2 lock- j ages per day. It is estimated that the canal can be com- j pleted In six years and will cost. Including a Contingent of 25 per cent, 964,043,607. as District ttsveraaest A flair*.

In conversation, later, with I)r. iiartholow. this distinguished authority said he had not the least doubt ot the correctness of this asser tion; while another prominent physician, upon b.'in,' told ot this statement, said that he was repeatedly astonished to find domestic discord in families where to all appearances the most perfect harmony prevailed. That there is a ??skeleton in every closet," and that this skele ton very often assumes the shape of nnconge nlality between husband and wife, with a pen cnant on the part of one or both for the society of some one of the other sex besides their law ful partners, and that to gratify this desire even murder will not he a barrier, we must concede. That such a condition is too horrible to con template would be true were it that a remedy can he suggested. It tne poison could not be procured, the murder or suicide could not be committed. Therefore would we advocate legislation that would make a party to the crime any }>erson that should sell any poison to any one without the prescription of a physician known to the selling party. This would reduce the risk or unsuspected 'murders to the very lowest ixxssible minimum.? Tiir Medical and Suryical Reporter jor Octn>>cr 31,1885. Two T?iieh Slurried. THE DETECTIVES SEARCH FOR A GIT LOTHA RIO?THKKK MOURNING WIVES. Detectives from Cattaraugus county, N. Y., were in Auburn yesterday searching for one Charles W. Sherman, who is charged with being the husband of three women now living. One of the wives lives In Auburn, N. Y.; one in Springville, Cattaraugus county, and another at Danville, LiTiOgStoa county. Sherman is also charged with other crimes. He went to Auburn several months ago and engaged to paint portraits tor a firm in that business. lie mingled with church people and appeared like a pious citizen. Among the acquaintances he formed in Auburn was .Mrs. Lilly Fisher,an at tractive widow, and on the !>th of August they were married. Sherman disappeared about two weeks ago, probably becoming alarmed by several letters ot inquiry concerning him. The first intimation his Auburn wife hud of his crooked ways was when the detectives gave her Sherman's history. She is now prostrated with grief.

Civil Service Reform Has Come to Stay. From Secretary Manning's Albany Argus. Civil service reform hascoine to stay. There will be no halt, no backward step under the present administration. The offices have grown to such an extent and the desire to hold office h;is become so general that some barrier has be come necessary to protect the appointing power. The present system may have its im perfections. Time and experience will correct them. 'Ihe proper course for all democratic newspajxTs to pursue is to encourage bright voung democrats to attend the examinations. If they do this and pass they are sure to receive appointments. The purification of the public service can only be accomplished by the pres ence of capable, proved officials, not mere political workers, who regard the offices of the government as theirs on account of partisan services. Rhode Island's Dignity. GOV. WEI MOKE REFUSES TO PRESIDE AT A PAR NEI.L AII> GATHERING. Quite a sensation occurred at the meet ing held in Providence, It. I., Thurs day night, to raise funds for the Parnell parliamentary lund. George Peabody Wet more, the governor of this state, was invited to preside, but lie declined, his diplomatic reason being "that as governor of Rhode Island Iought not to preside at any meeting or take part in any movement affecting the internal affairs of a foreign government." A storm of hisses and derisive Jeers followed the reading of the gov ernor's letter, and sarcastic remarks were made in all parts ot the hall. It was sometime be fore order could be secured. While the great assemblage made merry at the expense ol the chief *tateexecutive, Representative Henry J. Si tooner, who made an address, and other well known gentlemen on the platform evidently enjoyed the discomfiture of the governor. Goon Bye, My Dear, Lovino Joe.?Edith Mitchell Porter, a prepossessing young woman 1 of twenty-two years, has disappeared from i Auburn, N. Y., leaving a letter indicating that she contemplated suicide. She said she was going to a better world and for her friends to look for her at the bottom ot a large stream of water near Auburn. Her reason lor desiring to terminate her life is given as discouragement, because her father demanded more of her earn ings than she could spare. Her closing words were: "ilive my kind, loving, dear Jo? my love. He is the best one 1 love in thi^ world. Give him a loving kiss tor me. So good bye, my dear, loving Joe."

Troubi.k in the Methodist Church Ex tension Hoard.?At the meeting of the board ot church extension of the Methodist Episcopal church, in Philadelphia, yesterday, a commu nication from Thos.

But it Mnnnges to Crawl in Under Many Various Uis^uises. Many of the simplest words in the "king's English" have, through affectation and folly, been so changed in their pronunciation, says the Youth's Companion, that one must often reter to the dictionary or glossary for I lie cor rect pronunciation of even dissyllables. A gentleman, sitting with a friend, who is a railroad ticket agent, writes: "I'd just like to know what d-e-p-o^t really spells," said the ticket agent. "Why?" I asked. "Keeause it is pronounced a dozen different ways every day at this window. Now, you just ?it here and listen. I'm going to open the win dow for the sale of tickets." A very stylishly dressed, but rather atteeted looking young lady, appeared at tlie window. "Is this the Boston and Albany daypo," she asked. "It is, miss," politely replied the clerk. Then there appeared a dapper little fellow, highly pertumea, dressed in the extreme of fashion, his dainty mustache curled, and every hair in his head "just so." He wore gold-bowed eyo-zlasses, and carried a tlnv cane. "Ah, may I ask, please, when the train lor Buli'alo leaves this di;ipo?" Then a large old lady wearing a gingham dress and a green sun-bonnet came bustling up with a basket on cither arm. "Is there any train a-going to Wuster after G to-nigiit from this dcepot?" "That's three," said the agent, "and I'll wager anything that the young lady corning will ring in another change ou the word if she speaks it all." ?Is there a parcel and package window at this depoe?" she asked, giving maiiied emphasis to the final syllable. An artificial-looking woman, with the powder in blotches on her red face, came next. "I'm going to New Yawk," she simpered; "am I in the right dippoo?" "That is the newest and worst of all!" cried the ageut, sinking into a chair with au affected gasp. A stout old man with a shirt and collar of uubleachcd muslin, and a long, loose coat of brown linen, came to the window. "I'm a-lookln' for the Boston and Alberuey railroad statlon-hause. liev 1 tound her.'" "You hev," said my Iriend, with perfect grav ity.

The Only Cnro for Vu%umptfm. HIGH MEDICAL ACTUoRITT. In ^c Cmw StatoTTf America there lsprob ablj no disease which is of such universal inter est as consumption. The reason for this special ,n,t?rr,USihe'aCt lhatthc numberless causes which lead to Its development tend to leave few household? where there has not been at least one death from it. The public, as well as the medical profession, have long ago decided that medicinal agents having the character of a food, are the only things that have any value in the treatment of this disease. For many vears it was .supposed that beef tea was valuable as a food; It is now entirely discarded by physicians, having no \aluo. Cod-!iver oil, trom its indi gestible quality, has also been abandoned, the only result from it being an occasional case where an unhealthy increase of fat was ntC tained from it. The difficult wifh ,3 sumptives comes largely from the fact, that the stomach of the consumptive is very weak To overcome this dillioultv there is nothing like 1 ure Malt \N hiskey. There is not an ar i!li 1>-f H enters so largely into inedi j i Fm j the treatment of the sick and debilitated as alcohol in the form 01 wiiiskev and there is not an intelligent physician in w?

Two ouueos of alcohol contain more nutriment than ten ounces of meat. It is the only thing that enters the blood direct \t ithout effort on tiicpart oft lie stomach it is .therefore. peculiarly litted for the weak and debilitated. Of the importance ol purity in all articles used in the treatment of disease, too much cannot said. The presence of tusil oil and its irritating qualities in the past have been the objectionable elements iu whiskey x;?w, howover, the nublic and the medical i?ro .esMon have in Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey an article which already has rci'vivod so much commendation that its character and valueare fully established.

On receipt ol a two-cent stamp the formula will be sent to ail parties using their whiskey, under the seal ot the company.

Another instance, and one wherein the most remarkable results were accom plished was the case of a child so hope lessly ill as to be given up to die by the at Wu*i V,fry8,ciaus- 1 USMl Pure Malt W hiskej, coin blued with milk, and in one month the child was cntirelv cured MR.

I got it originally for a delicate child, then but :i years old, and which never expected to be able to raise. Have Bivtyi the whiskey to the child ever since! and she is to-day in the best of health and as hearty as any child of her age. I attri bute her present good health entirely to your excellent whiskey. My wife uses it lor general debility with good results." In childhood many escape, but the seed is sown that later on will develop, and though declared incurable, it can and has been cured.

IF. Holme*. A HIDDEN HERO. By. J. a. WINTER, Author or "Bootlxs Baby," Bra Lord Archie Falconer mu keeping hi* bant er* -to the tone ol a modest couple?out of bar racks, and was on his way to nee them, whan he chanced to meet with Marcos Orford. HI* way lay through a poor and forlorn-look ing district, laid out in small and narrow streets of ugly little featureless houses, built In rows to the cultivation of nothing bat a certain air of crushed and melancholy meeic neatness, and situated about midway between the bar racks and the town of WarneciifTe. It was peo pled chiefly bv such of the Benedicks among the rank and file of the Black Horse as were not on the strength of the regiment. Marcus Orlord was laughing as Lord Archie approached blm. and he felt his own face ex panding iuto a broad smile Instantly. "What are you laughing at?" he demanded. "I found yesterday," the other answered, ?that Arnitt was down with a severe attack of congestion of the lungs?a very serious case, bis wile told me the doctor had pronounced it. I sent him a basket of things down this morn ing-Ice and grane* and Jelly, and so on, you know?lor, poor devil, It must be hard lines to be ill iu such a hole as that"?Jerkin* his stick over bis shoulder to indicate a row ol squalid little houses behind bim?"and Moore brought back word that lie was very bad?as bad as he could be. So I tnought I'd come round and hear how he is to-day. Tis a tidy little place, but terribly bare and comtortless, and I lound hall a dozen youngsters all squatting about the door-step, and evidentlv expecting every minute to hear tnat the end had come. 'Hollo, my man,' said I to the biggest boy, a lad of seven or eight, -are you one of Arnitt's boys?' Yes, sir, wo re all his'n,' he piped out. 'Oh, are our I said, thinking Arnitt may well look as ungry as he-geueraliy does. 'And hew Is your lather this afternoon?" 'Very bad, sir?mortal bad?a* bad's he can be," tne youngster piped out in reply. 'An'the dorctor'e says If latner lives till morning, there'll be some opes; but it he don't live till morning, he won't have no 'opes at all."' J^ord Archie laughed outright, and Marcus Or ford continued ''But I don't lielieve Arnitt will live till morning, poor chap; and II" not, what his wile will do with all those youngsters is rather a hard question." "Yes; decent fellow, Arnitt. I had him with my horses lor a time. Pity he married without waiting lor leave, it's such a drag on a man, un less the wife happens to have some business of her own; and Arnitt. poor beggar. Is so over ridden with children, and his wile's line of busi ness not of ni uch use to her." "What was It?" "Oh, she was a circus-rider, and a ripping smart girl, too. I remember seeing her the vear I Joined. She had a pretty little face, arid a pretty little figure too. and a lot of light crink ling fair hair that seemed to wave all over her head in shining Hecks of light;! never saw such Jolly hair. ".she's a pretty Uttle woman now," Marcus Orford remarked. "Well?" "We were all more or less gone on her," Lord Archie continued. "The little iavorite, we used to call her. Her circus name was Mademoiselle r avoritar?her own, God knows! However none ol the fellows could make any impression upon her whatever, not the very smallest, and one afternoon, about six o'clock, I met her 10 "ie circus with Aurltt?and new.i_ And, sure enough, very shortly after that she and Arnitt got married. JPut Leuve>ahd waited till he got it, which he would have done, they might have got on very well; but he married her straight out ol hand, and there they have stuck ever l since. Arnitt ought to have got on, for he's a gentleman?a 'Varsity man too; but he's been unlucky, uniuckv all round." "You don't mean it," Orlord cried In huge i ?rp??e? "lhat he'8 a gentleman?and a Varsity "Oh, but I do, though?an Oxford man. I re membered his face distinctly as a man of Braze nose when I was at Paul's, but for the very life I could nt than, and have never been able since to put a name to it. And yet I almost i ,lancy?and I think ol It every time I get a lair I at him?that I've seen the face with a tuft above it "A tuft] you don't mean It?" Orford cried. Y es, I do. I get back to a certain point, and then I seem to come to a dead-wall, which blocks me completely." ???;y?a must be mistaken, or be mixing him up with somebody else," Orford declared. "It couldn t be,you kuow; somebody would be sure to recognire him." "V\ ell I may be Lord Archie admitted?"I may be, but still I ve bad the same impression ever since I have been iu the regiment. Still, as you .^1 may be mixing him up with some "$by don't you ask him outright?" "I did hint at it once. One of the horses was sick, and we had a good deal of trouble with him; and one afternoon I was watching Arnitt put a bandage on, when the conviction that I had known him before came upon me stronger I than ever. *1 his is not the first time you and I have had to do with a horse t??gctber, Arnitt' I said to him. He looked up at me quicktv, a fiashof alook asil I might be a detective Who had been tracking hirn for years, ana had bunted him down at last. 'For God's sake don t my lord, he said, all in a hurry; 'it's no us?' pretending that I was once a?' 'An under grad at Brazenose, I put in; when, poor beggar he gave such a cringing shiver that I felt sure I d put my hand on an oj>eu wound, and W.i\L had I?-t him alone. 'I want to forget all that, my lord; I sunk that lire and every thing connected with it long since,' he said desperately. 'I wouldn't have joined the Black Horse If I d ever guessed you would have been gazetted to it.' 'Oh, it s all right. I'll not remind you of it again, Arnitt, I told him; for of course. I didn t want to make his burden anv heavier for turn to carry. I knew his face, but could not remember his name, and should not try to find out. 'Only,' I said, 'I do remember perfectly well that you didn't call ine "my lord" in the old day!' 'Don t talk about the old days, he burst out. 'I forfeited all that made them worth having, and I can bear it but don t lemind me of them. If you know what pity Is-don U' so of course I told him I wouldn t, and no more I did. I never tried to find him out, but I've often thought about it, and tried to fix the name I knewbelouged to the face, but I never could; it has always Eluded my memory just as a dream often does Yes tnere is a queer story at the back of Arnitt s' bard Hie, I know that. It's a strange fate for a man to have been a tuft at Brazenose. and then a private in a marching regiment, with a wife picked out of a circus. And he s fond of her. bo; oh yes, for she is not a bad sort and was always pretty. Yes, it's a queer bv by'"Very* ll* must be getting along? '"By-by," returned Orford. and went on his way wondering much about the story he had just heard. Meantime Lord Archie went furiher along the street, and turned in at an archway between two ol the little featureless houses, which brought him into the stable ya.d. He just cast au eye over the animals and then inquired of the groom which was Arnitt s house. The man pointed it out, and lord Archie crossed the narrow ill-paved iittle street, aud knocked softly on the panel of the door ft was opened by the pretty lair-haired wife, who looked worn to death, and had a baby In her arms two older children, yet little more than infants, clung to her skirts, and the bi 'ger ones stood in the back-ground looking shviy on '?Good-day, Mrs. Arnitt. How Is your hus band? he asked. "Oh, my lord, he's very 111" she answered with quivering lips and eyes brimming over, not be cause she had been weeping much, but because the sympathetic tone went straight to h?r heart, aud Uiade It quiver like a harp swept bv a strong hand; "he's very iil indeed; and Dr Granger scarcely gives me any hope at all -Who's attending to him? Have you got a nurse or anybody to help you?" Lord Archie inquired. "Yes, my lord; Mr. Orlord sent one In as soon as ever he heard Arnitt was ill?very 111, that is But h will never get over it, my lord?never And lowering her voice almost to a whisper "He's got something on bis mind; I know it-' I m sure of It." asked"*1 kiDd ?l ?ometWn*?" Lord Archie I t .\bH tf!at' my 1?^," she answered; but something there is, for certain. Arnitt is a very quiet, close sort ol man. and though he's one of the best husbands that ever drew breath and has never giveu me a cross word since we i were married, and has never raised his hand to one of the children?aud they are trying at times there's no denying It?he's never told me a word about his past life, never one. I don't know any tning about him, my lord, not even where he was born, or whether he Las a rela tion in all the world. But be isn't like me my lord; and though bo's no better now thau a common soldier, he's a gentleman, Arnitt is. thanTbat ,meS 1 ??uld faucy h? was even more Lord Archie's conscience pricked him a little that lie wa* obliged in honor to keep from this di^tr. ssed little soul, with her pretty lair hair I tear-drowned eyes, the fact that he knew the troth of much or what she was say J 1 lien a sudden thought came into his i asked?Ul" *be an y"u mlght ask blm," he said, for he M" desire to disturb what probably were his ex-gruoin s la*t hours by recalling paiuiully wi. ii.'i. i!

"I've never been much good to her, and'she's been the best and dearest or wives to me; but there'll be a provision lor ner and for them, never fear; and, Ix>rd Arcnte, it was f bunt that I was anxious to see yon when Nelly told me you were down below. "Ought you to be talking so much? Lord Archie asked, gently interrupting. He had noticed the change In Arnitt's manner of addressing him?a change from "my lord to "lord Archie"?and It made the man more familiar than ever. _ "Oh, yes, yes?what will It matter in the end? impatiently. "Jnut a few minutes more or less. I must tell you some thing*, and get you to neip my boy into the righto and the position which i had to forego and give up. know you will, when I have told you ray story, beginning from the time when you were Archie Falconer of Paul's, and I was Studham ot Brazenose." lxird Archie uttered a sharp cry ot recog nition and surprise. "Studham of Braxenose. and in the ranks of the Twenty-fifth Dragoons. Good heavens! what could have possessed you7 You must have been mad?mad! "No, I wasn't mad, not in the least. I was only the victim of circumstances," answered the sick man, with a sad smile. "But tell me, didn't you know all along?" ??I never guessed it. I never suspected it for a moment. I only knew I had known you long ago in theold 'Varsity days. Yes; ol course you are Btudbam; but, heavens! how you are al tered!' "Fourteen years ol the ranks do make a change in a man, and the Studham vou knew was very young and very foolish," the other answered. "Then what can I do for you? Why don't you claim your own, and take your own place in the world? It's absurd to think of you, Stud ham?nay, but you are not Studham, but Man nersleigh, now, since your father died?drag ging out such a life as yours must of necessity be. It's absurd, and we must get you out of this at once." "No, no; it's a poor little hole, but I've been happy in it. I'll stay here to the end of the chapter. We've got to the last page, I fancy. Still, my children have rights, ana I have kept sileuce long enough." "For Mannersleigh?that Is, for your brother TalT." "Yes, TafT; do you ever hear anything ot him? Have you any idea what kind of a life he is leading?" Lord Archie laughed. "Oh, he has turned over a new leaf; gave up the old ways with the old name. But how came he to prove your deatu? lie must have done it to claim and gain you lather's title." "I don't know; I have not heard a word ol him for years?never since the day I last saw him, when I told him I bad prool, proof of his guilt, tlio guilt lor which I have borne the blame all these fourteen long weary years past. I gave him the opportunity ol flying the coun try, which he scouted, declaring I must be mad. crazy, idiotic to dream of suspecting him." "Of what?" ??Murder!" the sick man answered. "He foully and cruelly murdered my mother's niece, our couBin, because he had made? But what am I saying? I am wandering in my head, that I go blabbing out the secret I have kept all these years to my own hurt and ruin.' He looked anxiously at Lord Archie as he spoke, as if he thought he would rush out of the room and proclaim the whole of his secret to the world at large; but Lord Archie soon set him at rest. "Don't worrv yourself. You didn't mean to tell me? Welf, I shall never.disclo?e it; don't worry yourself about It. And now tell me what steps 1 snail have to take to secure your son's rignts. Have you made a will, aud lelt your papers in order?" "Everything! They are all in the little tin box. As to my will, that is made too; but 1 should like to add something to it, if you will consent." "1? Oh, of course; what Is it?" "To act as trustee to my children and their mother. 1 dare say she will marry again, aud I've provided a suitable income in case of it." "I'll do it, of course; but, Studham, tell me,'' reverting Instinctively to the old name of their 'Varsity days, "why, when you had the power to hike everything aud provide properly and suitably for your wife ana children?why did you bury yourself in the ranks, aud let that young ruilian Tall' usurp your place?" "I'll tell you. As I said, Taff tlatly refused to clear out of the way, and challenged me?yes, actually challenged me to produce my proofs against him. I had them sale enough, aud so I told him?they're in that box now. I shouldu't have spoken?what would have been the good It would have broken my father s heart, and tarnished our old uamc; aud the girl was dead; had been lying dead among the sedge and the bulrushes for hours before we found her. All the ruin that could come upon the Manner sleigh lamily would not bring her back again, sol determined to keep silence, simply because I could not see the good of speaking. "I had been all that day sitting with my lord, but I happened to be the first to find the iut of her hand, I was put on the trial as first, witness. As soon as I saw in the report that it was known I had the locket, 1 made up mj mind to clear out of the way at once, for though I could keep silence, I could not give false evidence. I could easier bear ruin and social extinction for myself than I could break my father's heart by putting a rope round my brother's neck. So that night I bolted, and then I ^t over to Iieland and enlisted in the rwenty-fifth. But I didn't know, I never iieard, he was dead. When was it?" "About a year ago." Lord Archie replied. "Ah, I never beard it," sighing: "aud you say Taff has turned over a i.ew leaf? "Presides at phiiuuthropleand religious meet nji*. and so forth. I believe he's quite a shin ng light among the unco guid." "Ah, he'll need it all!" dryly. "I fear, though, there's not much real good in him. H?- was always a bad lot, but my father loved uliii best of us all. Well, my time is getting iiiort, and if you will get me a lawyer here at nice, I'll settle about the trusteeship; the sooner [lie better, there's no time to lose. For the rest, t will soon be over. I shall not see to-morrow; ot that I am certain. As soon as you hear ol it, I grant you to go and see Taff, and tell him all I lave told vou; tell him that you hold my writ ten word, that it 1b all true, that unless lie ad mits my boy's claim, aud allows him to take jis place without delay, you have my orders to iisclose everything?everything! But you will lave no trouble; and I should like to lie in the >ld church-yard at home beside my mother, i'ouil do all this for me, Archie?" anxiously. "I'll do It all to fche b?st or my power," said Lord Archie, with a great lump in his throat ?nd a white mist dancing before his eyes, so hat the sick man and the little meager room were blotted out from his vision. "I didn't know be had gone, or I should have lone it before. I always meant to put my ?blldren in their own place, bull didn't kuovt he old man was dead. I only kept out of the way for his sake; it was all for his sake." l>ord Archie rose to bis feet. "I'll go for a awver at once; but, Studham, old fellow, can't irou* make an effort and get well? I wish you would." "It s too late now, Archie; but thank you all the same." "It seems such a pity," regretfully. "It can't be helped," patiently; "and I kept It from him," And that night Private John Arnltt died, and i week later was buried as John George Alured, tenth Earl of Mannersleigh, when Stephen, his ion, reigned In his stead.?Harper'a Bazar. Nevada's Lueklent Prospector?When Broke He Marches Oat of Tows sad Discovers* Mine. From the Sacramento Bee. Last winter and spring there resided In Car ion a prospector, named T. J. Bradley. When iie came here he had some money, and he ipent it lavishly. He owned a mine near Haw borne, Esmeralda county,and when his money was gone be went out to do bis annual assess ment work. He gave to Messrs. Knapp Laws and John Forbes, of Hawthorne, 500 feet >1 the 1,500 feet which constituted tbe mine. Tor a "grub stake." In a short time be uncov ered a very rich ledge. Last Tuesday H. M. Verington, superintendent of the Virginia and I'ruckee and Carson and Colorado, visited the mine, and gave him $10,000 for 500 feet, and the next day Archie Farington, the principal awner of the rich and productive mines of Oar tieid, gave him g*J5,000 for the remaining 500 leet. Several experts have visited tbe prop* erty, and they all pronounce It tbe richest gold, discovery ever made in Nevada. An old resident of Esmeralda county tells me that in a little more titan six years Bradley tias sold mines In that county for various sums aggregating 905,000. He is really one or the luckiest prospectors In the world. All that be has to do apparently when he gets broke Is to go out In tbe hills and strike a mine that brings him from $2,000 to 935,000. According to his informant, be differs somewhat from the gen eral run of prospectors, In that be possesses a little bit of irugaiUy. It Is said that whenever he sells a mine he sends tbe bulk of his money Lo bis mother In Ireland, holding ont a thou sand or so for a big time with the boys. He paints everything In sight red until his pone Is empty, and then runs In debt fbr as much more as he pleases. When he thinks It Is time to brace up be sboalders his prospecting tools and start* out In the mountains, and nothing more Is heard of htm until be has a valuable mine. ??o?

A great change has quietly taken place in hairdresslngfashions. Fashionable ladies, tired of the high styles, aregradully wearing the Cato gan braid or wavy curls low on the neck, worn by the London and Parisian ladies last winter. The Puritan style of hair cutting, close all over the head and shaped in saucer bang on the fore head, which was quite a favorite with sportinc ladies, has been eagerly adopted by our nrettv shop girls, perbups because it saves time. This style is not worn In Europe and the sooner it is discountenanced here the better for the looks of our fair countrywomen. Front coiffures are worn m Pompadour style.

THE II ll'KK I.IBCI, CASE. The Instruction* of Jnds? Cox to the Jury. The followine is the full textol the charge of Judge (,'ox to the Jury yesterday lathe Hicks libel ease against The Stab: In the Supreme Court of the District of Colum bia. Wilitain W. Hicks vs. The Evening Star Newspaper Company, before Mr. Jus tice Cox and a jury, Washington, D. C., Nov. 33th, CHARGE OF THE COT'RT. Gentlemen of the J TRY:?'The substance of the complaint in this case is that the defendant published a false charge against the plaintiff, to the efleet that lie hail offered to sell the bones of Guiteau for S'i.iKM) tor mercenary pur poses, and In violation of a trust reposed in him by a paper executed by Guiteau just before his death and called his will. Such an imputa tion would undoubtedly tend to bring a man to (lic, in the strict sense of the law. a libel, and the only question for you to determine is whether, according to the rules of e\ idciice. sufficient |>root of this libel has been produced before you. I might say here, in general, that the law re quires as an element in the offense of libel, malice. There are two kinds of malice, expre* and implied. Wherever a publication is libel ous, that is. where it imports ton man some dis graceful conduct, it is not necessary for the plaintiff to offer proof of any express malice to show that the defendant really harbored ill feelings toward him, felt any hatred toward iiim, but the law Implies It trom the mere fact ot publishing against a man a charge which tends to disgrace him and which is false. The only importance of ascertaining whether there was an^ express malice or not relates to the question of damages. The iaw implies malice in every libelous publication, but if it turns out that there was no express malice; if the publication was made through carelessness or oversight, and there was no ill-will, then the law only allow s the jury to give a man the ac tual damage which he sutlers; whereas if it a}> l>ear> t hat the defendant was act uated by hatred and ill-will toward the party injured, or it it ap|>ears that he acted through a mere wanton, reckless disregard ol the rights ami reputation of the party assailed, there the jury will be al lowed not only to give damages by way of coin l>en>-ation tor" an> actual injury suffered, but also what are called vindictive, exemplary uamages, by way of making an example of the defe there would be no punitive damages. When we come to 11? proof the tirst tnsng offered is the publication in the newspaper. You will observe in the nr>t place that, in form, this is not an assertion that I he plaintiff ever did offer to sell tiie hones ot'Guitcau for mer cenary purposes and in violation of a trust. In fact it is not an assertion that he did offer to sell Guiteau's boucsat all. it is simply the publication oi soine gossip between a reporter employed by the paper and. Coi. Cork hill, in which the former is represented a-? inquiring of the latter whether it is true that Dr. Hicks had offered to sell Guiteau's bones lor S2,OoO; and the latter simply replied that he had been s true that a malicious impu tation may be concealed under a mere hint, a snear or a question. It", for instance, a news P per should publish an inquiry whether the secretary u t. That is always a question tor the jury to decide; that is to snv, if a newspaper publishes j au inquiry whether a certain thing lias not happened, or publishes the narration of a conversation in which one man inquires aud another answers, if the design of the editor of the newspaper is to convey the idea, to convey the charge, to convey the insinuation that in loint of tact the thing happened, that is equi valent to an assertion of the fact, and tiiat is the question which the jury must decide. Therefore it is always necessary when In form the publication is not a direct assertion of a false charge, for the declaration or bill of com plaint ot t tie plaintiff to contain an averment that the defendant thereby meant that the plaintiti did thus and so. That is a fact which you must be satisfied about before reaching a verdict. So much for the torm of this publication. The publication has been produced. You will observe it savs nothing about mer cenary motives and nothing at all about a breach of trust. It simply represents the repor ter as inquiring whether the plaintiti had not offered to sell Guiteau's bones for ??s'ti.OOO. If that were all, I should be disposed to say it was not a libelous publication even if it amounted to the assertion; because it is consistent with entire innocence of purj>o-e, in as much as it might have been for a benevolent object, or it might have been done in conformity with the instruction* of the deceased himself. It does not neee-sarilyiniTiUteany mercenary motive or any wrongful conduct. Hut in order to meet the L'omplaint here that there wasa mercenary in.e tiveaud a breach ot trust, further evidence was offered to you to show that Guiteau had, iu l??iiit of tact, executed a paper, attempted to make a will, in which he dev ised or bequeathe d his remains totne plaintiff upon the express condition that they should not be used for any mercenary motive; and proof was also offered to siiow that this fact was known to some of the readers of Ihe Star?to at least one reader of The Star, and therefore, when this imputa tion of attempting to sell was made known to him. he necessarily understood that it involved a breach of trust. beeause he knew it would be a breacli of the trust cieated by Guiteau's so called will. In this way the plaintiff has en deavored to make out proof ot his entire com plain;?thai is, thai tii publication, taken iu connectiou with the out>ide fact, ol it.u will of Guiteau. and the knowledge of that will l?v other people, substantially imputed to the plaintiff an attempt to make a sale of these bones for mercenary purposes aud in breach of trust. There is hardly any dispute, if any at all, ahoui the fact that iuiteau did attempt to exe cute a pa|ier in the shape of a will, which con tained tlii- condition. That fact has been testi fied to before you aud no evidence lias been adduced to contradict it. There is no denial, either, of the tact that l)r. Allen, one of the readers ot The star, knew it was rejiortcd that Guiteau bait executed a will in those terms; and therefore when Dr. Allen saw this puhiieation in which it was at least hinted that the plaintiff had attempted to sell Guiteau's bones, he knew that would be contrary to what was (Manned to be the will of Guiteau^ and con sequently would lie a breach of trust. Perhaps the principal question for you to determine is whether the publication In the sh?|ie of a mere interview between a reporter and the ioriner district attorney was intended by the defend ant to convey tiie ld"a to the public, in other words, was intended to be a charge of the fact, that this plaintiffhad attempted to make such a sale in violation of the trust, in the conclud ing iones tor mercenary purposes in vl?? lation oi the trust of the will. That is probably the whole question in this case which you have to consider. It you find that that was the intention of the article, then you find tacts which In my judg ment constitute a libel, ami ttie plaintiff would b? entitled to some damages at your hands. Iu the absence of any proof of express malice against the plaintiff lie would be entitled to recover compensation tor any actual damage bich he may have suffered, it you are satisfied he did suffer any; aud if he suffered no actual damage lie wt.uld be entitled to a verdict for at icast Miinelhing in the way of vindicating his character froiu this aspersion. Some evideuce has beeu offered tending to show that one of tiie reporters connected with The mai: had unkindly leelings toward the plaintiff. If thoNe unkind feelings had any con nection with this article that would be a case of express malice; although the principal proprie tor of The Star had no malice, perhaps even had no knowledge of the publication. If the article was Inspired by or was published through an employe ol the office who had malicious feel ing. It would be a case ol express malice, In which exemplary damages might be allowed. But If you believe the evidence offered on the part of the defense that Mr. Croggou had noth ing whatever to do with the publication, the J act or his having any malice is totally imma terial, aud U no proof of malice on the part ot the author of the publication. I believe that Is substantially all It is neces sary for me to *ay, except one word about the publication. It is always necessary to prove the publication of a libel. In the case of a slauder. In fact, in the case of a libel, so tarasaclvli suit Is concerned, it is uo publication to send It or address It to the party proposed to be libeled. If 1 write you a letter abusing you, that would not be a publication for the purposes of a civil suit, although it might be for the purposes of a criminal prosecution. For the purposes of a civil suit the tiling complained of must be made public to at least one person other than the party injured. If It is published to one person that is .sufficient, if a newspaper containing the libelous article is cl/culated or comes to the hau ls of any one man In the regular course of publication, and ttiat is proven, that, in my jndg;nent, is a legal publication. In this case it ha* ix en proved Uiat Dr. Allen *die true, or it he indorses it in any respect, it is a Mr. Claugliton.?I can show you ?uth?rltle? to the effect that it is libelous to publish a mere rumor. The court.?That is true; but here you observe the thing published is not an assertion b> an> ?>ody in the third person, even; but simply'an inoulry. If the Jury believe the article was published with the Intention to convey the idea that it wjis true, it is a libelous publication; not otherwise. The foreman.?Is the measure of damages to l>e estimated by the proof produced before the Jury? The court.?Yes; of course. Mr. Claugliton.?We reserve an exception to the latter p-trt of the instructions. The jury then retired. THE NATIONAL RIFLES' FAIR. J 11. A Large Attendance Lmt Evening?The Fair to Close Co-night.

Its Condition and Meeds Set Forth. THE AKSCAL KEPORT OF WARDEN CROCKER. Gen. Jno. S. Crocker, the warden of the Jail, in his annual report to the Attorney General, states that no serious insubordination occurred during the last fiscal year and no corporal pun ishment was administered. Acts of impro priety and violation of rules were met by a sys tem of dietary treatment and temporary depri vation of privileges, with satisfactory and salutary results. Moral and religious teachings of visitors from various Christian and tempe rance associations, coupled with religious disci pliue, cleanliness and proper diet, have favora bly Influenced the habits and phvsfcal condi tion of the inmates. A COMPARATIVE STATEMENT. During the year there were convicted and sentenced by the Supreme Court of the District, holding criminal terms, 103 convicts, one of whom was sentenced to serve a term in the New Hampshire state prison, and the remain der were sent to Albany. There were 27 white males, 71 colored males and 5 colored females. During the preceding year the number of con victs were 72. During the year H6 boys were sentenced to the reform school; 23- were white and 63 colored. The number of the preceding year was 65; 1,040 prisoners were sentenced ?by the Police Court and Criminal Court to serve terms In jail, as against 913 during the preceding year. The daily average number of prisoners in Jail during the year was 107. and the year previous 171. The total number in Jail during the year was 2,105, and the year be fore 1,069. There remained In jail at the close oi the year 189. A NEW ROOF NEEDED. Gen. Crocker again calls attention to the im perfect condition of the roof over the central part of the jail building, and recommends its reconstruction at au expenditure of about $1,500. But one death was recorded during the year. The general health of the prisoners has been re markably good, there beitig fewer cases of i hose diseases resulting from intemperate and de praved habits Hut one case ol opium habit was reported during the year. NO PLACE FOB CHILDREN. A number of children were brought to jail by their mothers, committed on criminal charges. With the limited facilities of the female depart ment, they were taken care of with difficulty, and it is hoped that some provision will be made to prevent the crowding of prison cells with children, who need ail the care Unit can be bestowed upon them. The jail physician reports the condition of the Institution to be all that could be desired. The food is abundant, varied and well cooked. The pri>on is clean, und t'ne care and attention ot the officers all that could be wished. A Confluence >I:ih'n Diary. SOME EXTRACTS FROM IT?MANNING AND WAR REN TAKEN TO baltimore FOR TRIAL. J. E.

Last month the dead body of a negro was furnished the mcdieal department of Ueorge town college by Dr. Helden W. Crowe, and it is said that Dr. Lachlan Tyler, the demon- trator, paid Crowe and each of his two assistants, col ored men, 85 This was not satisfactory to Crowe and he entered suit against Dr. Tyler before Justice Ilelmick to recover for "anatom ical material" furnished October 19th. Mi". Warren Stone appeared before Justice H"Imick last evening for the plaintiff, and Mr. W. stone Abert for the defendant.and the latter having tiled a motion for a bill oi particulars and the motion having been overruled th" de-i fendam applied tor sv change of venue, which was granted. Those Interested proceeded to j Justice Hall's office aim it was suggested that a i cadaverous court would held. Mr. Abert, for the defendant, called attention to the account reading "For anatomical ma- I ferial," and he made a motion for a hill par ticulars that it might be disclosed what the "anatomical material" was. This was regarded by the profession as material lor dissection and the defendant had the rijjlit to know whether ii was the body of a man or dog, the whole or part for which payment is sought. Mr. Stone, after some discussion, said he would amend the account so as to read "To labor performed and anatomical materia!." Justice Hull ruled that such an amendment was unnecessary, and the original declaration was satisfactory lo go to trial on. At this point the justice remarked that it was getting dark. Mr. Stone rejoined: "It's a dark subject we propose to discuss." Tfie justice stated that he was readv to hear the case and the defendant announced that he was ready to proceed. The plaintiffstated that an important witness. C. S. Burnett, was not present, and besides flic counsel had just come into the case. Therefore he asked a continu ance. wnieh was granted, and the case was fixed for Wednesday.
