This new enterprise deserves, and will doubtless receive, liberal patronage, as the advertisement elsewhere shows that great inducements are offered to customers.

' The outside tier of pews and the galleries were literally crowded long before the arrival of the Sir Knights, the larger portion of the audience being ladies, all anxious to witness the first oc- casion in this city of a Commandery of Templars articipating in the services of Good Friday. Be Le who was invested with baldric and mntiets, was aided in the ritualistic service & Rev. Drs. Harold McKee, Steele and Hob- bie. The chant by the choir of male voices, «Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth,”’ was rendered in a solemn and impres- i the earnest manner of both the hoir im the responses was a feature e occasion. Dr. Lewis took his text from Ephesians xiv: 15—“‘God forbid that [ should glory ave in the cross of Christ, by whom the Sora is conquered unto me and [ unto the world.” The sermon was listened to with marked tention by the visitors, the tenor of it being that the —. of religion and Christian church should be a consequence to membership with the valiant and magnanimous order of —— Templar. During the closing exercises the choir sang some choice and aparopriate selections. Tae THeaTers.—To-night is the last chance tosee Mr. Edwin Adams in his great role of “Enoch Arden,” at the National Theater. Oa , however, he has volunteered hal,” in the thrilling play leart,”” the occasion being the it of Mr. W.E. Sheridan, the popal leading man of the National company.

After’ discussing the subject of garbage nuisances, it was ordered that all com- laints arising from the same, coming to the nowledge of Tne health officer, besubmitted to the board and by them referred to the Board of Public Works. A communication was received from the Board of Public Works setting Mou- day next as ® day for consultation with the Board of Health.

This be true in some cages, but from what I have seen of street car conductors in other cities, those of Washington present an appearance of respectability that will bear favorable comparison with those of Baltimore, Philadelphia, Ne ‘ork. The wonder is that they are able to keep as well dressed as they do. When we consider that a majority of these employes have families to support, house Tent to pay, and their miserable allowance, we are at a loss to understand how they manage. Asaciass they are the hardest worked and poorest pa‘d of any body of working men in this community. Siz- teen hours on duty every day, Sundays not ex- cepted, lost time deducted, even thongh oce: sioned by sickness, and all for two dollars per day, with the humiliation of wearing one of Philips’ “bell punchers.” If these soulless corporations would pay their employes a fair and honest compensation for their services, there would be no necessity of degrading them by banging automaton thicf catchers around their necks. PUNCHINELLO, Tue Linkt on SENATOR of Buell, the Sensational Corresponient.—Last night, Detective Sargent arrested Mr. A. U. Washington correspondent of the De. troit Free Press and St. Louis Republican, at the Ebbitt House, on a warrant placed in the oifi- cer’s hands by the District Attorney. sworn out by Senator Chandler, charging Buell with criminal libel in publishing that be (Chandler) bad been in the Senate in a state of beastly in. toxieation. Mr. Buell was taken before Judge Snell, who fixed bonds at $5,000, Col. Donn Pratt becoming Buell's surety for a hearing this morning. Prior to the convening of the Police Court this morn ng Buejl, accompanied by Col. Piatt, put in an appearance, and remained but a tew miputes. Both then proceeded to Judge Snell's residence, who continued the bond of 35,000, and postponed the hearing of the case until Tuesday next, at 10 o’clock, Col. Piatt still be- ing the bondsma ANDLER— Arrest —- Tur Sawyer anv Witsox Pans TutaL Postronxp.—In the Police Court this morning Mr. Closs entered a motion to post- pone until Saturday next the examination into the charges of perjury preterred against Wm. E. Sawyer and Henry Wilson by Sam'l Strong, a suit instituted by the latter by reason of cer- tain utterances made by Sawyer and Wilson before the Congressional District Investigating Committee. Mr. Hine objected on the groun: that owing to the gravity of the charge no in- dulgence should be allowed the prosecution and that the court should not prolong the acc: sation hanging over the heads of the accused. Judge Snell said, while it was the duty of the government to exercise due diligence in the case, the court should not be over-hasty. He refused @ motion to dismiss the bonds, aud con- tinued the case until Saturday next in accord- ance with the motion of Mr. Closs. ne A Pocket Boor Li This morning, Detectives Miller and MeDo) arrested an Avenue car conductor, on suspicion of picking up and retaining a pocketbook con- taining #95 belonging to a Mrs. Sherman, who dropped it in his car onthe 31st ult. Mra. S. complained at police headquarters, and the officers suspecting the condacter of the theft, cbarged him with it which he denied. but on being taken to the police office confessed taking it, and offered im justification that his family were in want, his rent due and his pay too small to meet bis expenses, which he had reduced to the lowest possible figures. Only a portion of the money was recovered, he having patd some of his bills; but he offers to make it up to tho owner. He is retained at headquarters to ai swer before the Police Court. ——_* Rear Estate TRansrans.—o. C. Geo. W. Linville, part lot 23, square Jos. H. Bradley et al., trustees, to G. M.

The Caarn Barives.—The Courier of this morning says: “The Chain Bridge has been fin- ished for three weeks past, but from some cause unkrown it is not yet open to travel. Great compiaint is in consequence made by those who require its use, as they are now obliged to pa: heavy tolls at the aqueduct bridge, and travel | over muddy, hilly, and generally wretched roads to and from the District. This state of suspense is annoying in the extreme, as mach hauling of manure, seeds, &c., to farms across the river, and of country produce hither that, for it of @ good bridge, has been stored dur- ing the fall and winter remains to be done.” by people of Georgetown suffer by this delay a8 well as residents in Virginia, and it is to be hoped that whatever difficulty exists will be re- moved at once. Coat TrRape—The coal past has been very light. pect larger receipts next week. The entire re- ceipts this week were only 1,434 tons, and the shipments 3,280 tons.
