Death of an Old and Kespected Citi- zen. ‘The many friends of Mr. Wm. Thompson, a ‘well-known justice of the peace in this city for about forty years, will regret to learn that he died about 5'< o'clock yesterday after- noon at the family residence, on the corner of Sth and M streets northwest Mr. Thompson wasa native of Huil, England, bora Deeem- ber Ist, 17-5, and he was therefore in the Wt! year of hisage. He received a liberal educ tion, and it was intended that he should suc ceed to the large mereantile business conduct- ed by his father, but his tastes were for litera ture, ard he had such a disiike for the arb’ trary features of the British government that he decline: business, choosing under this goverr his way fo Montre: Canada, and after spending a few months :n that cit 2 , he reached Baltimore in the following spring.” Here he found a nun- ber of friends, and he began to teach stenos- rapby, having tor his students a number of members of the bar, some of whom subsequent- ly became noted as’ leading men in the coun- try. Asa teacher of stenography he followed the courts from county seat to county seat, and in this work he became ot ear with many of the leading families of Maryland. He then the western part of Vir- inia, Pennsylvania and the eastern part of Shio. then regarded as the far west. In his ‘stenography classes he also taught grammar and eloeution, and among his pupils were Senators Robert J. Walker, Stewart, MeKen- non and Wiley. In 1824 he located at Morgan- town, Va., and published there a whig paper, advocating the election of Henry Clay to the Presidency, which enterprise he abandoned after Mr. Clay's defeat. About this time he ublished a book called the ‘ayette Remem- rancer.” He then, with his wife, to whom he bad been married about four years prev! started the Uniontown (P’a.)Academy. In 1829 he determined to make this city his home. At that time there were but two public or free schools in the riet. (the Eastern and West- ern Lancasterian schools) and but few private sehools. He established a school for boys near the corner of 6th and H streets, but subse- quently removed to Louisiana avenue, near e City Hall. Mrs. Tho jon took charge of a girl's school, and among her pupils was Mrs. Amadon, who for many years was known as one of the best teachers In the District. Mr. Thompson about this time became the politi correspondent of the New York Courier, then went to edited by Gen. James Watson Webb, and of | the Baltimore American, and subsequently he became the local editor of the Metropolitan, published in Georgetown. In 183i he published the Washington Mirror, which was the oaly paper at that tim gave any cons able attention fo local affairs. soid to Mr. Rufus Dawes, aliterary journal, and it failed in Sh Abeut this time Mr. Edward Dyer suggested to him that he should take a commission as a justice of the peace, and he procured the commission for him. Mr. Thom was then made a police magistrate. Sequentiy for about ten years a reporter for the National Intelligencer. H then established the Saturday News, afte wards the Washington News, a weekly paper, and edited it up to about twenty years ago. He held the position of justice of the peace for about forty years, and for a long time was one of the police justices under the board of Fpiice. holding that position until the estab. lishment of the Police Court, about es years sinee. As a journalist and citizen ke advo- cated many et en reforms, and being from the first opposed to the old fee system, he was an earnest advocate of the Metropolitan Police. Mr. Thompson was a man of the strict- est integrity, and one of the best and most valued citizens of the Districz. AN ALEXANDRIA MAGISTRATE ARRESTED. z The Alexandria Gazette of last evening says: | “On Sunday last two white boys who are em- ployed on a canal boat by Capt. L. Shaner were arrested by the negro county constables and carried before Justice Weston Green, col- ored, of the county, charged with bathiug in the canal near Slater's bridge in the day time. The magistrate fined them and made them | Bey the a amounting altogether to about 3.0each. The flues were paid by the cap- tain, who yesterday came in town and pro- cured a warrant from Justice Padgett for the arrest of Green on the charge of unlawfully extorting money. Green was arrested by Constable Gray at the American coal wharf, where he works as a coal-heaver, and was brought before Justice Padgett. Edmund Burke, esy . commonwealth’s attorney for the county, appeared for Green, but in the ab- sence of the commonwealth’s attorney for the city the case was postponed until this eve Green giving seeurity for his appearance.

Dickson & King, dealers in wood and coai in Georgetown, in a communication to the District Commissioners set forth their objections to the present system of testing coal scales, and say the inspector is not pro- vided with the proper tools and implements to make Correct tests. They also suggest that the inspections—one a month—and a fee of #2 for each inspection is a pretty steep price in connection with the other taxes and license. REPAIRS OF SCHOOL ROOMS. The building committee of the school trus- tees, Messrs. White, Lovejoy, Davis, Holland, Brooks and Baldwin, called upon the District Commissioners this morning with an estimate of the necessary repairs to be made to school buildings in the several school districts. M White, the chairman, in submitting the es mates, made a statement that it was absolute - ly necessary, in order to put the school rooms in a proper condition for use at the next school term, to commence these repairs at once. The Commissioners scrutinized these estimates pretty closely, and thought they would have to cut them down, as they had ex- ceeded their quota for expenditures on re- pairs last year. The total amount as shown on the estimates for this year is $10,493.75. The items were run over, and after some di sicn many of them were stricken off. and the committee instructed to proceed to make such repairs only as are absolutely necessary to make the school rooms tenantable for the coming school term. ;, THE TIBER CREEK SEWER. Engineer Hoxie, with an assistant, has made @ personal inspection of the interior of Tiber creek sewer, from G@ street souta to E street north. in his report to the District Commis- sioners he states that the portion of this sewer w thin the limits of the botanical gardens has experienced the fate which he predicted _for if at this point in his annual reports of 1875-6. The areh has been lifted bodily, breaking at the crown. and with a marked uniformity at the haunches on each side, about six feet frum the spring line, for a distance of about four hundred feet, and in falling again into position with the subsidence of the head of water, has been broken in part midway between the crown and the fracture at the haunch. This part of the sewer is, therefore, covered by two brick beams, fractured ‘in part, resting upon the haunches of the arch and abutting against each other at the crown. The pieces have saddled more or less out of position, so that the abutting surfaces are in some PS nine inches less than the thi ness of the arch, the fractured end projec this distance into the sewer. The areh should be removed at once, and might be sold to be broken up for conerete. On no account should this arch be restored, but the open canal left as an overflow for the security of the balance of this sewer, both above and below. The alternative plans presented in my annual report of 1875 should now have the attention of Congress. Either a permanent overilow must be made at this point, which jean be trapped to prevent the escape of sewer gas, built in some ornamental fashion, which will not disfigure the grounds, and made of sufli cient capacity to give the necessary relief to the sewer at this point, or else an auxiliary intereepting sewer may be constructed to carry off the water of Tiber Creek into the Eastern Branch. The first plan is a cheap ex- pedient, and will throw the surplus water over the low grounds south of Pennsylvania ave- nue, from which it will find its way into the river without serious danger, though, of course, with considerable inconvenience to private property upon the oceasion of any very serious storm. The second plan is, of course, the permanent and proper one, but will involve a large expenditure. I recom- mend that detailed estimates of each plan be prepared, to be submitted to Congress with the annual estimates of the Commissioners.” Summer Entertainments.

Everybody was try- ing to find the shadiest spot so as to avoid the 1 the sun, and that spot was generall, Eemeeden to be the tabernaele; at feast io would be justified in thinking if occupied ‘adring the entire day. “thie trains from the city and those from Frederick and Hagerstown landed a great many at the camp grounds, while the people from the country were out in large force, there being almost a3 many carriages here to-day as there were on ast Sunday. The prayer and experience meeting this morning was well attended, and was under the direction of the Rev. O. Marriott, of Uniontown. Several joyous and happy ex- —, were told, and the meeting was one in which the influence of the holy spirit was forcibly felt. 10/3 a. m. the Rey. Dr. Pierce, of Alexan- dria Ma acaien from the same text that the Rey. Dr. Wills preached from yesterda John _ iii. “G So loved the world, 6: E ‘This he did at Dr. Wills’ request.

During the delivery of the sermon scat ly anybody Was seen promenading in the circie, although there were about 2,500 people on the grounds. He had the undivided attention of all. A lection was taken up at this service, amount- ing to. about 5, ‘ t 2 p.m. the Rev. Harry 8. France held the usual children’s meeting. Mr. F. was to-day assisted by the Rev. W. J. McKenney, of Ham- line, who addressed the little folks. These Meetings are increasing in interest, and Mr. France's departure will be deeply felt by both Jouns and old,as both attend in large num- ors. At the same hour Mrs. Burris led a ladies’ meeting in the Filth avenue tent. This me t- ing is also well attended to-day, several of the ladies from the country being present. At3p.m. the tabernacle was completely filled and many of the seats surrounding it. The opening exercises were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Owens, of Mt. Zion church, and consisted of reading the scriptures, singing and prayer. After the consecration of the emblems, ‘the ministers came down from the platform and knelt at the front row of seats, where the sac- rament was administered te them. After sing- ing, the invitation was extended to ali lovers of the Lord Jesus, without regard to denomi- nation. to come forward and receive the sacred emblems. After all who desired fiad partaken the invitation was then extended to the col- ored people. The number who communea was—ministers, 21; laity, 360; and colored, 9; making a total of 39). After the sacrament was concluded, Rev. Mr. Harrison took charge of the'meeting. After delivering an earnest exhortation, he concluded by inviting those wno desired to be saved to come forward and kneel at the altar. Only one, however, answered the appeal. After supper those who came by the morn- ing trains to spend the day, wended their way | down to the depot, there to take the trains to convey them back to their homes. Some grumbling was done, and justly so, by the pas- sengers who were unable to secure Seats and were compelled to stand, by reason of the rail- road company not furnishing.a suflicient num- ber of cars to seat all. At 614 o'clock a young held in the large tent ou Fifth avenue, and was was led by Al. Holland. These meetings are very interesting and profitable, and are parti- cipated in by the young folks generally. At 7:45 a large congregation assembled for the evening service. The Rev. J. Bender mon was Pees meeting was preached from 1 Joh) i a an elegant oP onverted, and he was followed by Rev. Mr, Harrison, who, after @ short exhortation, invited every sinner in the congregation to come forward and pray to receive forgiveness of sins. Ten availed themselves of the privilege, some six of whom were converted. CAMP INCIDENTS. As those of the tenters who escorted their friends to the depot this evening were re- turning they had considerable amusement in watching a Ley oe of rustics, sitting on the stile, his arm affectionately around her neck, while she was looking 2S his face with the most affectionate and bewitching « 8, to- tally unconscious of the numerous eyes look- ing at them. About the time the 3 p.m. services were closing the tent belonging to W. F.

SuPPos s 1D SUICIDE OF A DESPONDENT WokkING Man.— Yesterday afternoon a man named Daniel Carroll, a painter by trade, liv- ing on 7th street road, beyond the Park, left home to look for a job of work in the county, peuene his wife to return last night. He did not return as promised, and his family became alarmed at his absence, a3 he has been without employment for a longtime and mu depressed in mind. A dispatch was receiv: at Police headquarters at 1 o'clock this morn- ing from the Navy Yard precinct, stating that jast night about 10 o'clock Geo. H. Williams reported to that station that from indications it was thought a man had been drowned at or near Benning’s bridge. Officers repaired to the place and found a quantity of clothing, a pair of white overalls, pants and vest, brown coat, white shirt and slouch hat; also'a large memorandum book containing a pencil and a five cent nickel, with the name of D. Carroll within it. These facts were communicated to Mrs. Carroll this morning, and a messenger Was at once dispatched to examine the cloth- ing. for identification. There is but. little doubt that in a mood of despondency Carroll threw himseif into the river. He has a wife and large family, almost destitute of the means of support DR. JOHNSON Ettor, the well known sur- seou of the police, and a practicing physician ere of long standing, is lying at his residence. on E street, between 5th and 6th, quite ill. Dr. Eliot about a week ago Wednesday performed the amputation of the leg of a child which had been injured several days previously, and on the same day he had the finger of a subject for dissection in his hand. Ina short time there- after his hand and arm began to swell, aud it then was apparent that he had been poisoned, and it is puppoced that the virus either from the subject of the amputation or from the finger was introduced into his system by his finger getting pricked on the point with a needle. The Doctor now lies in a precarious condition, and his friends have but slight hopes of his recovery. We Desire to call attention to the advertise- ment of Messrs. Richardson, Boynton & Co., of New York, whose reputation for standard ‘oods in their line is unsurpassed in the coun- ry. Furnaces, ranges and fire-place heaters have been made a specialty by this house for the past twenty-five years, and no firm is more favorably known throughout the country for manufacturing substantial, first-class goods. ‘Their furnaces have a world-wide reputation, and are deserving of the public patronage. Their yearly jneressing sale is sufficient evi- dence of their justly-claimed merits. Isaac COHEN, the agitator, called at the White House to-day with about eight of his followers. They stood in the vestibule leading to the President'sroom. The President came out to see some gentlemen wno had called. Cohen walked up to him and presented a pepe. The President said “this is a subject lor consideration.” The paper was a petition from the “* Workingmen’s Relief Association” asking that the labor contract system be abolished and the government employ men directly, paying them $1.50 per day. ——— MARRIAGE LICENSES have been issued to Benjamin J.

This morning theemployes of the Continental colliery at Centralia, operated by Audenreid & Co., struck against a reduction of their wages below the rates established by the Reading company. Anothersection of the men of the Big Mountain colliery, at Shamo kin, also struck, and that colliery is now idle. None of the Reading company’s men, how- ever, have struck, and none are expected to, or lad: tee ste iu as their wages are advanced from month to month.
