District Aifairs Congress. ‘THE SOUTH WASHINGTON MINISTERS AND THE RAILROADS. There was presented in both houses of Con- gress on the 15th instant a memorial from ¢iergymen and pastors living in South ‘Washington. They “Toe rallroads kpown as the Baltimore and Potom: nd the Orange, Alexandria and Manassas - roads, now enter and run along Maryland and Virginia avenues and 6th streetsouth- ‘West, in which quarter of the national capi- tal ourselves with our foeks do dwell; and your memoralists and all who reside in the neighborhood aforesaid, bave been for years aud are still grievous!y annoyed and tnjaved by the aforesaid corporations.” They further represent that “the church edifices in which they minister are situated in and along the district aforesaid, and that by the rattie of ears, the blowing of whistles, ringing of bells, shifting of cars and trains, and the Joading and unloading of the same within the avenues and street aforesaid, at all hours Of the day and night, the Sabbath day not excepted. that our minds and the minds of our congregations are distracted, even while on the Sabbath we offer prayer aud praises, orexpound the word we are sent to teach. So grievous bas the burden become that many are leaving this neighborhood, finding homes in other districts; the property be- longing to the churches as well as lay prop- erty, has been and is depreciated in value, and this section of ourcity is prevented from becoming by the aforesaid corporations a higbly ornamented and attractive section, the abode of the bighly cultivated and re- Gned. To the end, therefore, that we may be relieved of these grievances, weearaestly pe- tition your honorable bodies to spexdily re- move, by bill or otherwise, these raliroads Wo some point along the outskirts of the city, ‘where a union depot may be erected, and tha burdens and dangers we complain of re- moved.” The memorial is signed by pastors Yepresenting Ryland M. E. Chapel, West- minster Presbyterian chureh, St. Dominick's Catholic church, 6th street Presbyterian ebureb, 5th Baptist chureh, and Grace P. E. ebureh. ——— AMUSEMENTS imal Theater. — “The Hon. Bardwell Slote” and “Mrs. General GitMery” will receive at the National all next week. The “Mighty Dollar” is not the best comedy of the age by a D.

Florence's rollicking impersonation of the member from the “rural deestricta” is one of the most amusing stage pictures of the ay, and is nicely complemented by Mrs. Florence's role. Fords Opera House —Next week we are to bave Frank Mayo in Murdock’s beautifal American drama “Daty Crockett.” The play has po dime novel nonsense about it, as might be supposed, but is one of pure and healtby tone, and the leading character bas been performed by Mayo over eight bundred times with continued success.

It ig suggested, therefore, by those cognizant of the facts, that collections be taken up to-morrow in all the churches for their benefit, the money thus collected to be transmitted to the present head of that bureau, to whom their circumstances are most familiar, for disbursement to them. We trust the sppeal will be made, and lip- erally responded to. —— TITIENS IN ITALIAN OPERA—Ever since Mille Titiens came here there has been a — desire on the partof the public to listen her in ra,in which the greatest of her E in triumphs had been achieved, and Mr. Strakosch, like a wise manager, meets this want. It'can readily be conceived by those who have heard Titiens in the concert room bow admirably her breadth of style be adapted to the music of Bellini’s “Norma,” in which she makes her first ap- pearance here. The saie of seats commences next Wednesday, as will be seen by the ad- vertisement elsewhere, and @ rush may be expected. — THE LINCOLN MonuMENT.—The commit- Deoeneary r ogee ent Yor the th da “Ot a@rran en | lg April. when the statue of President Lingola ib ee een Peet. met last even: and y electing Henry beam lien prayer. hymp, “praise meetin took wang, ai a meeting in ton voany Seve their experience. that @ keno player last nigat be was under convic' , and the oaly thing in his way was that he had no other business togo to.

HEALTH OFFICER KEENE made @ report in relation to the manner in which the work of cleaning a'leys had been executed the past year, which nas been en- Urely satisfactory to the public. Also, a communication stating that In consequence of he cayeless and mischievous habits of the of the public school at 614 Pennsylva nue, second floor, the water closets inals placed for their accommoiation are constantly in such a filthy, obstracted and offensive condition as to render the rooms occupied wufit for the purpose of con- fnement of school children. The teachers state that they have used every effort to pre- vent this nuisance, but they find it impossi- ble to control the pupils in this regard. He recommended that it be made the subject of an efficial communication to the sehool trus- lees, to the end that the evil may be co.- The secretary was ordered to corre- i with the trustees on the subject. PRSMISES DECLARED TO BE NUISANCES. Health Officer Keene reported that the Wood structure and premi.es in Ridge-street alley, between Ridge and N, and 4th and 5th Streets northwest; the brick structure and premises on Boundary, between 20th and 21st Streets northwest, are in an unsanitary coa- dition and Ipjurious to health, aud they were coudemped as nuisances, and order to be @baied; also, the obstructed and filtay uri- nals and water closets, without water sup- Ply,,08 the sceond story of building No. 614 eonsylvania avenue northwest; also, Lhe urinals and closets on the third floor of same building were declared to be nuisances, and their abatement was ordered. in @ communication in relation to THE CLEANING OF ALLEYS the bealth officer says that the ‘unimproved alleys,” so designated, be included in the next contract for cleaning. The alleys now cleaned are what are termed “paved and improved,” two classes, while the third class, located in squares on the extreme out- skirts of the cities, which have not been graded or improved in any manner, but in which constant deposits of filth are found, receive no attention. A great injury to health results from this condition of these alleys. He recommends that the board, in view of the approaching reletting of the con- tract beara and cleaning alleys, set forth to the District Commissioners the ne- cessity for the periodical cleaning of the un- improved alleys. Referred to the sanitary committee. The board then shut itself up from the oater world. —_o—____ THE NATIONAL COLLEGE oF PHARMACY met yesterday for the purpose of considering House bill No. 1,398, to regulate the practice of frict; the cists, was the first subject brought up, and it was held that this — creates two classes of pharmacists, proprietors and as- sistants, and wherever the words “registered assistant pharmacist” occurred they should be stricken out; also, the provision that no proprietor of any store or pharmacy shall bot leave his store or pharmacy in cbarge of any but a@ registered pharmacist.

N. wen said he would rather be a doorkeeper in the House of his Lord, or @ bootblack in South Washington, than to occupy an exalted and corrupt post tion. Two or three motions were then made to “lie” the ‘tof the finance committee on the tavie, woich were not ~ cond d. Mr. Wilson in the meastim@ diverging from tne uestion, rose to “make bis rept? upon the busing of votes in the varivus districts ai d the purchasin; of PRANOTS AND CAKES, 4C., with the fands of thecommittee. A point of order was raised ior insulting the districts of the District of Columbia, a the cnair railed the gentle peanut objector from the tloor Mr. Freeman expressed his cd re that the remarks Bnd speeches made be reportext ti the {os peg and credited personally to the gentlemen making them, and not to parade the central committee before the public as A SET OF IGNORAMUSES. The discussion finally reverted to the recom- mittal of the report, and to the question as to who could seare the most. An amendment toabolish the finance committee and to ap- Rest a@ special committee of five was made. ‘he amendment was then given to the body for discussion, which was freely indulged in. Information offered ou the subject by Prof. A. M. Green was notdesired, and he took his seat. A motion was made by a persevering riser to lay the whole matter upon the table, and one followed to adjourn, both of which were promptly squelehed “RY A LARGE MAJORITY.” A standing vote was then taken upon the previous question, viz: to “strike out” the finance committee and to appoint a special committee of five, which was rejected. Toe amendment to recommit the report to the fivance committee followed and was adopt- ed. The chair then spoke of the debts he had personally incurred in behalf of the central committee, which should be cancelled by the committee. A uest was made to let some ose else talk besides the chairman, which privilege was granted. COL. CARSON RISES TO A PERSONAL EX- PLANATION ON THE PEANUT QUESTION. Col. Perry Carson then explained the rea- son of his eating peanuts and cakes, which Was because he was out before breakfast hunting money for the benefit of the very gentlemen who cast reflections upon his honesty. Some scathing remarks hurled at the chair for sitting quietly and not expiain- ing the distribution of the resources of the committee, and by his silence attacking the integrity of the chairman of the finance com: mittee, caused the chair to remark that when he wanted to attack any one he would vacate his seat and attack without fear on the one hand or fevor on the other. Perry continued his remarks at some Jength, expressiag bis regret that he had ever consented to serve on the commit- tee, and said that he knew black men, and that there were men ee who after de- parting would accuse him of having stolen the money entrusted to him, whereas he had spent the money subscribed for the good of the republican party, as the chair weil knew. One of the members of the finance committee who had vainly endeavored to get in @ word, finally said he would have his rights and would be gagged off no longer, and he was allowed to speak. Hesaid he would not serve on the committee atter to- night. An amendment was then offered to tender the committee of finance A VOTE OF THANKS. Perry Carson said he would have no vote of thanks after he had been called a rogue. Dr. Bowen requested the chaivmau, if he Wanted to talk, to come down on the floor. He did come down, but had to wait some lime before he could get an opportunity to discuss, while Dr. Bowen, who had possession of the floor, said he wes ashamed of the meeting and the proceedings, and taat if they wanted to be dishonest, to steal $259,000 like white men did, he stood up for high crimes and misdemeanors, but not todemean themselves by squabbling over peanuts and cakes, He did not wani such proceedings brought before the public, as would be done, he said, by the papers, particularly THE Strak, and he requested the committee to take back the things sald and done, and wo proceed calmly and quietly to settle the questions at issue. A vote of thanks was tendered to the finance committee. Mr. Car- son moved that a committee of thres ve @ppointed to procure @ hali for the natioual convention, which meets on vhe 7th instant at 10 o'clock. The motion was adopted.

Yesterday's issue of the Boulder County News gives the particulars of an accident that occurred on Sunday night last near that town, and which resulted in the death of one young lady and severe injuries to the other. The young ladies referred to are daughters of Judge W. M. Slaughter, a well-known cit- izen of Colorado and mayor of Central at aa early day. The details, as related by the afflicted father, are as follows: Sunday be- ing a delightful day, the daughters improved it to climb to the top of the high sandstone cliff, In sight of Boulder, on the north side of the canyon, at the entrance into the moun- tains. Mary, who is so far recovered as to beable to relate the circumstances, says that Rosa was so fall of the spirit of roman- Ue adventure, that she had oft occasion to check her daring on the dangerous rocks. After waiking awhile onthe height of the sharp ridge they passed around to the steep southwestern face of the cliff, which is broken by asuecession of perpendicular precipices and loose rocks. Ro-a ventured ahead, her sister warning her not to go so fast. At that Mme they saw Addie and Willie Lytle com- ing up the canyon road, as they supposed, to visit them. Rosa, in her exuliation, leaned forward to signal them, when she stepped on the loose stones, which began to roll, and she fell forward, head foremost, going down the rock from shelf to shelf for nearly a hundred feet. Ber sister screamed for help, and: was heard-#i a house near, and also by the pass- ers-by. She then tried to get where her younger sister had fallen, and remembers no more, only that all seemed to become dark. Soon after their fearful descent the sisters were found unconscious at the foot of the ledge. Medical assistance was immediately summoned, but in spite of its well-directed efforts, Rosa, the younger of the sisters, died on Tuesday evening. The other sister is slowly recovering.—| Denver (Col.)
