Mr.Welsh opposed the roject, saying it wasa scheme Of those who Bad Deen defeated on the army-reor ganization bill to increase the army, it propos to enslave men. The plan was to have the soldiers on hand by taking men from thelr wives and children and using them laboring men.

EXEMPTION FROM TAXATION OF PROPERTY USED FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. In reply to a communication from the Sisters of the Visitation, through their attorneys, Messrs. Merrick, Norris Hamilton, Attorney Riddle, to whom it was referred by the District. Commissioners, states:—“Property to be exempt must be actually used for educational purposes, “no matter what it was purchased for, nor how Jong it takes: ce, are it, itcannot be exempted till it is ‘used.’ That fs the language of the law. I hold that property purchased for educa- tonal purposes is to taxed till actually used for that purpose; and this use does not in till scholars are in the occupancy of it under their teachers, and are receiving their education in or on it.” A DELEGATION of the trustees of the College of Pharmacy waited on the District Commissioners to-day in relation to the appointment of a commissioner to fill the place made vacant by the death of Dr. J. C. Riley, stating that the claims of the National University had not been recognized tn the recent appointment, and another point of objection was that the new appolatee, Dr. Ward. is registered a8 a pharmacist on the books of the National College of Pharmacy, and that a physician should be appointed to till this va- cancy, and not a pharmacist. It may be that under the circumstances Dr. Ward will decline to qualify, as the technical objection has been raised by the College of Pharmacy. The law requires the board to be made up of three phar- macists and two physicians, OFFICIAL INSPECTION OF THE NEW TRUCK HOUSE ON CAPITOL BILL. The new truck house on North Capitol street, between B and C streets n.e.. was yesterday afternoon inspected by the fire commissioners— Messrs.

The bullding ts of gothic architecture, 31 feet front by 97 feet deep, and is two stories high—first story 16 feet high, sec- ond story 18 feet high. It is a model truck house, probably as complete in its arrangements and appointments as any In the country, and is an ornament to that section of the city. The inte- rior dimenstons of the rooms are as follows:— Truck room, 29 by 45 feet; sitting room, 11 by harness room, 8.6 by 15; domitory, 29 by 42. parlor, 29 by 12; reading room, 21.6 by 11; batt and water Closet room, 21.6 by 8.6.

The commissioners afterwards paid an informal visit to the new house of truck B, at the West. End, not quite finished yet.

Missinc Women.—The finding of a young woman's body ased in a trunk ‘in a Warsh near Lynn has been followed by una- vailing search fora clue to her identity. As in the case of the woman’s body found n'a bar- vel on Staten Island a few months ago the revelations of the inquiry are almost as inter- esting as the tragedy itself. Not leas than a score of young women answering the victim's description are reported missing by reiatives, who almost fear to look upon the body lest it be recognized as that of the absent one. Some have disappeared after starting on an errand or to meke a visit; others have runaway from home; one had been driven out, and was sougat Ls &@ parent who was only too anxious to for- give and forget. The thought of death haa in every instance softened all hard feelings to- ward the missing. The inquiry reveals many secrets carefully kept untilnow. Inthe Staten Island case it disclosed two crimes similar to the one suspected; and it attested that many Imore wonien were tissing than the public or the police had any notion of.—[N, ¥.

Among his first walks was a journey of 500 miles in May, 1875, at the West Side rink, {no Chicago, He was 153 hours at this task. He then came to New York and defeated Wilson Reid in a twenty-miles race, Reid being al- lowed a liberal start. Next came his notable victory over Weston at the Exposition Building, Chicago, in November, 1875, Weston was beaten by 51 miles, O'Leary covering nearty 503 miles in the six nays, After several exhibition walks in St. Louis, San Francisco, and other aces in the west, O'Leary went to England. In November, 1876, he was matched with Peter Crossland, at Manchester, and defeated him. In the next month he walked W. Howes at Cam- bridge Heath, the match being 300 miles, and was beaten. In February, 1877, he walked a 300-mile match with Crossland at Pomona Pal- ace, Manchester, and was again defeated.
