Cloce and Clendenin, action for possession of the cemetery. has been pending now some time. and on the law side of the court there is @ suit pending to recover the penalty of #1) r day, imposed by the act of Congress, for eeping the company out of possession. Yes. terday, Mr. W. D. Davidge filed a new bili in regard tothis place in the name of Ellen M. Close, by her next fiiend, Reginald Fendall, and Charles Borcherling against Josepn B. | Close, Frederick W. Close, and the Glenwood Cemetery Company. Mrs. Close is the divorced wife of J. B. Close and the mother of F. W. Close. The bill recites the fact of the uivoree having been obtained in New Jersey, July 20, Asti, when alimony, $3,000 a year, was decreed to her and sets forth that she has a lien upon his property for the payment of that sum. she | further alleges that the transfer of Close’s es- tate in the cemetery was fraudulent, and she fa that Close may be enjoined from alien- ing his estate therein, and the cemetery mav be decreed to be free from any trust on behalf of Glenwood Cemetery, and delared bound by herelaim. The suit will probably be cousoli- dated with the others.

V. Davis, the superin- tencent. and his Wife. The flames originated in a small frame kitchen in the rear of the house, and ticated so rapidly to the interior of the main building, which was of brownstone, that it was impossible to save anything from the upper portion of the house, and Captain and Mrs. Davis lost all of their wearing apparel, two gold watehes; jewelry, &e. The Captain's loss he estimates at gv°), The building, which was entirely burnt out, was owned by the United States, and cost up- Wards of $3.06, on whieh there is no insurance. The fire is believed to have been the work of an incendiary, as there has been no fire or light in the kitchen since an early hour yester- day afternoon, and Captain Davis had made a thorough it tion of the premises before retiring at half-past 9 o'clock. KILLED ON AW EXCURSION TRAIN.—Samuel Mack, colored, while on his way to Richmond, WVa., with “* Brooks’ excursion,” was killed on Thursday afternoon at Aquia Creek bridge.

In response to the circular note from the Distriet Commissioners to the new members of T the school board, as to their citizenshiv, all have declared that they are bona fide citizens of tais District, and that they exercise no rights of citizenship elsewhere, either by voting or otherwise. THE CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL APPROPRIATION. Messrs. 8. V. Niles and F. B. MeGuire, pres ident and treasurer of the Children’s hospital, have made a requisition on the District Com: missioners for the payment of the 35,00) appro- Priated by Congress the past session to aid in | the support of the hospital for the current fis- eal year. They call the attention of the Com- missioners tothe fact that the necessities of the hospital require immediate relief to supply | the daily wants of its inmates. A NUISANCE. Proverty-holders and residents of South Washington have entered complaint to the Commissioners about the manure piles in that section. They state that owing to this danger- ous nuisance they cannot 1ent their peo party. O, Q and 24 streecs, in the vicinity of the James Creek canal, are the points most com of. This sort of nuisance has always been a terror to citizens in this section of the city. PENNSYLVANIA EXCURSIONISTS. General McBride, of Philadelphia," to-day eailed at the office of the District Commis- sioners and notified them that there would be a large excursion of citizens of Philadelphia to this city on the Isch inst., and suggesied that the Commissioners could, if they desired to do so, invite the governor of that state with his staff to accompany the excursionisis and receive the hospitaiities and couriesie: of ve Commissioners and of the citizens here. The subject will come up in executive session of the Commissioners. CITIZEN ISAAC COHEN, of street corner notoriety, has sent a resolu- tion to the District Commissioners statin’, “whereas, Oflicer Wm. Dubois did on the 2) Bh day of July make oath to certain facis bene United States Attorney Wells, aileged in a complaint for an affray against Isaac Coher, Which caused said Cohen to be arrested, de rived of his liberty, and brought before tie r of the Police Court, and arraigned, whi h charges were not prosecuted but withdrawn by the attorney as untrue: therefore, Je. ed, That any man who will make a oath in the manner aforesaid, i coming under the purview dese: guilty of a criminal act, and a a police foree: and that'the District Commis- Sioners institute an investigation and have Dubois immediately discharged.” AN EX-TEACHER OP A COLORED SCHOOL writes to the Commissioners, calling their attention tothe fact that a few years ago there was a rule made in the colored board that when a teacher married she would have to resign, aS no married teacher would be allowed to teach. While this is the ease, as soon as a poor colored teacher marries just as soon she loses her situation; it matters not how they get along afterwards; that she was one of this unfortunate class that had to re- signon that account, while there are, as she can name, plenty of married white teachers, and their husbands in good cireumstan too, allowed to teach: and as this is very un- r, She asks that action be taken to remedy She and her husband have iiad nothing to ince they were married. Referred to the school trustees. COLUMBIA LYING-IN HOSPITAL. Mr. Joan T. Mitchell, treasurer of the Co- lunibia hospital and lying-in asylum, has made a written request of the District Commission- ers to cause a warrant to be issued to him in his official eapacity for the sum of $12,001, the amount appropriated by act of Congress, ap- roved June, 1875, to be paid by the District for the support of this hospital. The Commis- sioners, in reply, have informed Mr, M. that they have as yet ‘drawn no part of this appro- priation by Congress referred to; that the ap- propriation is for a sum not exceeding $12,000; and thatit is probable that it will be more con: venient to the District to pay it in instalments. THE TIBER CREEK SEWER. The District Commissioners have instructed the engincer to invite proposals for the uncov- ering and removing of about 350 feet of the areh of the main Tiber sewer within the Bo- tanical grounds.

[Special Correspondence of The Star.] CAMP, NEAR GAITHERS8URG, Montgomery county, Md., August 9th, 1878.—The congrega- tion to-day were composed principally of those tenting on the grounds, as we had but few visitors from the city, and this is the off day | for the country people. The §) e a.m. meeting was led by the Rey. Page Milburn, of Hartford circuit. At this meeting Rev. Mr. Harrison told his experience in words that seemed to have great effect upon the audience. . At 1034 a.m. a large congregation assemb' to listen to Rev. John Deale, whu took fo . text Psalms, 142-4: “No one cares for mv He impressed upon his congregation * necessity of doing all in their pow “er souls for Christ. He was followe |, by Rev.

At 3 p.m. the Rey. Thomas Harrison had charge of the meeting, and conducted it some- what similar to his other meetings, delivering an earnest exhortation, and at the close of it inviting sinners to come to the altar. Several responded to the invitation, three of whom were converted. At 6} o'clock the meeting of the young peo- ple was held in the large tent on Fifth avenue, and was in charge of A. T. Stuart. The exer- clea consied of singing, prayer, experience, and an exhortation to sinners. At 7:45 the Kev. Mr. Nice of 12th Street Chureh, preached a short sermo: Chron., xxix, 5. His sermon was a [itt Dre. liminary for the exercises that were to follow, and to be conducted by Mr. Harrison, and ali through it were lessons and reasons to those out of Christ, why they should at once come to Christ and plead for forgiveness. Mr. Har- rison followed in exhortation, closing with an invitation to those who desired salvation to come forward and seek it. Nine responded to the invitation, four of whom were converted. At the close of the meeting Mr. Norris deliv- ered an exhortation principally to Christiaos, urging them to do their duty and not be luke- warm, and stated that he wished to see such an outpouring of God’s spirit on the camp on Sunday as would arrest every sinner and bring him to the feet of Jesus. After the mee:- ing closed, the colored folks began to sing “Come into the life boat,” and were singing another hymn when they were stopped by the ringing of the Dell. Now as the large majority of the peopie on the grounds love to hear them Sing, Coulda not half an hour be given them, as there is no disorder of any kind going ou at their meetings. The crowd of Sunday visitors wi'l be amply provided for next Sabbath, both spiritually and temporally, The Rev. Dr. Naylor, of the Metropolitan Chureh, preaches at_10'4 o'clock in the morning, and the Rev. Thomas Har- rison conducts the meeting at 3 o’elock in the afternoon; while between services Messrs. Dorsey and Norton attend to the wants of the inner man. Acolo-ed girl called yesterday at the Post office for a letter, and when told there was none for her insisted that there was, and said she must and would have one, offering twenty- five cents to Mr. Williams if he would give her a letter. The colored boy of the camp said she would not be disappointed to-morrow, and after casting on him a bewitching: smile, she left, to call again to morrow. Last evening, after the evening meeting was closed, our colored brethren and sisters, for the first time this year, commenced to get hap- py, and as they sang their hymns in their peculiar manner began to juinp, increasing with each verse, until a very lively scene was presented. M. AN _ INTERESTING —Is She a Widow, or Not’—Mr. John Cruikshank has been en- gaged for some weeks past in taking evidence asa special examiner in the case of the late Harry Shimar, of Wilksbarre, Pennsylvania, referred to him by the probate court of that county, to take the testimon: nesses resting in Washington. case was first brought before him 1t was sup- oscd that the examination would last but a ew days, but the end now seems no nearer than during the first week. Shimar it is claimed wasasutler during the war and died in October jast at Wilksbarre, Pa., leaving an estate of between $50.00) and $70,000, much of itin U.S. and other bonds. Letters of admin- istration were then issued to one Isaac Living- ston, and a few months since a petition was filed’ by a woman in this city (known as Fanny Woodward, living in Federa! Block, under the name of Fanny E. Shimar, who claimed to be the lawful widow of the deceased asking that the letters of administration be revoked. She claims that she was married to Shima asutler’s tent at City Point, V: une, 1355, by one Rey. Mr. Holland, who was attachad to no regiment, but had simply followed the army: and that after living together a few months they parted by mutual consent, but that the marriage was never annuled, and hence she is his lawful widow, and is eutitled as sealer of weights and measures for the Dis- triet of Columbia: and also directing him to file his bonds and oath of office for the same: also instructing him to reeeive from the late vealer of weights and measures of ihe city of Georgetown, the publie propertyin his charge. TAX ON DISTRICT STOCKS AND BONDS. The opinion of the attorney for the District as to the right of the assessors to tax the stock of the late corporations of Washington and Georgetown and other District indebtedness, is “that all bonds of the cities of Washington | and Georgetown and of the District of Coium- | bia which are not expressly exempt by the | provisions of the act under which they were | issued, which are held by residents of the Dis- trict of Columbia should be assessed as taxa. ble property ; that the bonds held by the residents of the District are not liable to t ation in the District is very clearly laid down by the Supreme Court of the United States in the — of the state tax on foreign-leld nds.” OPISION AS TO PARDONS BY THE DISTRICT COMMI.SIONERS. The attorney for the District. in a communi- cation to the District Commissioners in rela- tion to an application fora pardon for one Oker, convicted of violation of the license law, takes occasion to say of pardons that in the trial of cases the District is put to expense in the payment of clerk’s and marshal's and when the guiltof the party is established he can see ho reason why these expenses should not be paid by the offender when a pardon is granted. He therefore recommends tht, ex- cept where the pardon is granted because the Commissioners are satisfied of the innocence of the party, it should be on condition that the costs are paid BUILDING PERMITS ued by Inspector Enwisie: J.G. and J.

Lizzie Bennett, repair a frame house, HU, be- pee H and North Capitol streets northeast ; DISGRACEFUL ConDcct oF 4 YOUNG WIFE. <A young South Washington wife left her home a few days since, after an irksome hon- eymoon of several months, and was next seen by her husband at the sckuetzen fest, drink- ing beer, in company with two strange men. Last night she returned home about midnight, and finding no one in the house concluded her husband had gone to the home of his parents, in an adjoining street, where, with some difli culty, she ees i to finally arrive, and rang the door bell. It not being responded to as promptly as suited her notions, she rang again and commenced a tirade ef abuse against her husband, and his family for harboring him. The inmates of the house were soon aroused, as well as the entire neighborhood, all the win- dows being filled with witnesses to the midnight scene. The longer she upbraided her husband and the family, the more she became convinced that she was @ much-abused woman. The hus- band and old folks came down and vainly en- deavored to pacify her, but, like Rachelof old, she would not be comforted, and in her ravings sipped on the steps, and rolled to the ground below, where she set nee fearful howling, and declared she had been knocked down. Seizing some brick-bats she shivered several of the windows in the old man’s house; the neigh- bors, to save their own windows, seized her and conducted her to her own home and left ber there, but before they could return she had jumped the fence, and taking a short eut through an alley was again stoning the door and windows of the house where her husband was. Finally, after nearly an hour the ser- vices of two special policemen were secured, and her husband and father-in-law requested that she be taken to the station-house. She was led away and quiet again restored, but this ten it is reported that she ‘escaped’ from the policeman, and found her way t> her husband’s house sometime afterward: The parties are all respectably connected, and the reckless course of the ncn wife seems ail the more remarkable on that account. ———————— ENDOWMEN?

Dr. Thompson presiding, if I recol- lect correctly), repudiating all those insinua- tions and publishing a card to that effect in the principal Berlin papers. it was furthermore found out that Thomas- sen, while in the United States aud while hav- ing charge of vessels, had lost not less than five of them, no one ever being able to account for their loss, which seems to prove that he tried previously with smaller vessels what could be done with larger ones. M. L. Medical Use of Salt. GEORGETOWN, D. C., August 5th, 1878. Editor Evening Star: In an old medical work (pasted in the back) I find the following: “Medical Use of Sait.—In many cases of disordered stomach a teaspoonful of sait is a certain cure. In the violent internal aching, termed colic, add a teaspoonful of salt to a int of cold water, drink it and go to bed; it is one of the speediest remedies known. The same willrevive a person who seems almost dead from receiving a very heavy fall, &c. In an apopiectic fit no time should be lost in pouring own salt water, if sufficient sensibil- ity remains to allow of swallowing; if not, the head must be sponged with cold water until the sense returns, when salt will completely restore the patient from his lethargy. In a fit the feet should be placed in warm water with mustard added, and the legs brisk- ly rubbed, all bandages removed from the neck, and a cool apartment procured if possi- bie. ‘In many cases of bleeding at the lung, when other remedies fail, Dr. Rush found two eRe contats) of salt completely stayed the ood. In cases of bite from _a mad dog, wash the Part with strong brine for an hour, then bind on some salt with a rag. In toothache, warm salt and water held to the part, and renewed two or three times, will relieve in most cases. If the gums be atiected, wash the mouth with brine. Jf the teeth be covered with tartar, wash twice aday with salt and water. In swelled neck, wash the part with brine, and drink it twice a day, also, until cured. Sait will expel worms, if used in the food in a moderate degree, and aids digestion, but salt meat is injurious if used much.” READER. Dogs. Editor Star:—Your rustic friends in this District say but little but think a great deal of and about their dogs—are in anzrious sus- pense—quietly discussing the new law and the rights and privileges of the dog catchers, and nervously contemplating future developments. it is amooted question whether those clothed with the power to execute the said law have the right to invade one’s premises and seize his ae in the event of non-payment of the tax. paragraph in your paper setting forth the facts would relieve many and probably, avert trouble. USTIC. [The dog catcher has no right to enter the private premises of any one to catch a dog. Only dogs running ai large, without a tag, can be so caught.—Eb. STAR. EEN SE THE COURTS.

Agnes Sutherland, colored, assault on Robert Naylor; #1. Bridget Reily, assault on Mary E, Darr, plead Bully. Mrs. Darr testi- fied that Bridget worked for her seven yea ago, and she paid her, but she claims that she has not been paid, and has attacked her about Theodore Fisher, assault and battery on George Kehi, cutting him in the cheek. Fisher claimed that he acted in self-defence, and that the cut was made with some nails wach he had in his pocket: $2 and costs or 7 ays. A BOQUET PRESENTATION IN COURT. At this pene a man bythe name of Colby, who ¥ rought to the seventh precinct sta- tion last night “blind drunk,” and who was given the sottest plank in the shop to sleep off the effects of his indulgence, entered the court room carrying, in addition toa pile of news. papers, a remarkably handsome boquet. Af- ter standing at the bar for a few moments, he called Bailiff Hodgkins and sent the boquet to the judge, to whom he attributes his re- lease. Judge Walter accepted the boquet, and Mr. Colby justine a bow, with his face wreathed with smiles, left the room. OTHER CASES.
