She claims to be a native of Georgia and that her husband died in the cause of the south during the late war while serving as an officer In the confederate navy. The sult was entered Feb- ruary 11th, 1877, and shortly afterwards defen- dant answered that he never promised to marry her as alleged. THE WiDOW'S STORY. It i stated by herself and friends that after | became acquainted with Mr, Cameron, who took ‘a decp interest in her, as he had known her family prior to the rebellion; that she left Washington and went to New Orleans, and a short time afterwards Mr. Cameron visited that city, when he again met her; that while in New Orleans he showed her marked attention and urged her to come to Washington and he would | rocure her profitable employment; that after Mr. Cameron left New Orleans and returned to his home at Harrisburg, Pa., he addressed her a leiter urging her to come to this city and that atterwards he sent her the letter recommendins | ber to Secretary Bristow, which reads as fol- | lows: | “ The bearer, Mrs. Oliver, ts the daughter of an officer of the United States navy in ante-war umes and the wife of another officer of the navy who was killed or died on the other side during the rebellion. She has come to Washington in seareh of em) ent, with letters to me from friends of mine in New Orleans. 1 knew her father, and she is highly recommended asa good woman. She is peor, and thinks a letter from me to Colonel Bristow will procure her employ- ment. If you think so it will make her ay) ys and I have often found happiness in waking others happy.” She claims that accompanying the above was the following: HARRISBURG, Sept. 25, 1875, My Dear Mrs. Olirer:—1 will carty you to a better home than Mf, oe You should not stay there. J think I shall have a safe piace for you with relations to protect you. You will be my wife. 8. C. Mrs. Oliver secured a situation in the Treas- ury department, where she remained some time. During her term of ofiice Mr. Cameron, she fur- ther alleges, wrote her another letter, under date of December 7, 1875, ieecnirnet A to marry her and expressing the deepest love, which letter caused her to prepare for the wedding; but time rolled on and Mr. Cameron did not put in an bg Sapient and subsequently, as she al es, he backed out of his agreement, and tained trom her the letter of De- cember 7, 1875. She further recites in her com- ae that after this she lost her position in the Treasury, and for some weeks was out of employment; that she called Mr. Camercn’s at- tention to her straitened condition and his al- leged promises to her, but the love he once had for her had grown cold; that finding that Mr. | Cameron did not intend to keep his promise, | e sneceeded in procuring a situation In the Patent office at a small salary. and while hold- ing the ee she concluded to enter suit against Mr. Cameron, but this was temporarily stopped by Mr. Cameron putting up, during the summer of 1876, $1,000 as a compromise, for which Mrs. Oliver gave her ipt, but she now claims that her temporary e: Hail at 10 o'clock, in order that the procession will start promptly at 10:30 a.m. ‘The route of march will be from City Hall to 3d st., to Pa. ave., to Ist st., to Md. ave., to F st. s.w., to 6th 8t., to St. Dominic's church to attend mass and Jay the corner stone of the new convent.

The sundry civil appropriation bill contains an item of $10,000 for the maintenance of How- ard University, and as {t_ is Included under the head of appropriations for the District of Co- lumbia, a question has arisen whether one-halt of that amount {s chargable to the District. The Commissioners hold that the District should not make this contribution to that insti- tution, and say they will resist its payment or any part of {t out of the District treasury. They | say this was not a part of the bill as ft passed | the House, but was a Senate committee amend- | ment, and in its consideration before that body | was struck out; but that the conference com. | mittee failed to recognize this act. They will | decline the payment of any sum of money on account of this appropriation, and will Isstte no | checks on the same. They have informed the resident of the Howard University of such in- tention, this gentleman having auprasched the Ccmmissioners on the payment of the money. | They will at the commencement of the extra | session take steps to procure some explanatory | actin relation to this matter, and in this they will bave plenty of time, as the appropriation is not available until after June 30, 1879, but ts for the fiseal year ending dune 30, 1s80, ‘The Com- talssioners think it was an oversight by Mr. Dorsey and those having charge of the bill when it went. to the conference committee; that its terms being just the reverse of what was the in- tention when it passed the Senate, they do not propose to recognize tt.

The work will be commenced as soon as the contract is made. THE GARBAGE CONTRACT MUDDLE is still unsettled, but the probability is that the several parties now interested will sell out. to a new man who will give satisfactory bonds to {he Commissioners on condition that they will be released from their bonds and any further responsibility in the matter. ‘The Commission- ers have signified their willingness to do this providing that unexceptional bonds will be given by the new man, and assurances that the work wili be promptly and satisfactorily per- formed, and the shipments made daily without any accumulations being allowed to remain at the James Creek wharf.

THE CASE OF “DUCKY” WHITE, charged with keeping a bawdy house, came up in the Police Court to-day by way of continua- ton, the defendant having given her diamond jewelry, as a pledge for appearance this morn- ing. On the arraignment defendant pleaded not ane Mr. F. P. Closs appeared for defend- ant. Gabriel Simms, colored waiter, testitied that he had been patd by the cook and by Miss White, and had always looked to the latter as aa pein Margaret Smith, an inmate, testi- fied that she boarded at the house. It was kept by Caroliné Brown. Eveline Jones and Molly Brown testified to the same effect. Joan Wright testiied that when he visited the house Caroline Brown was represented to him as the keeper of the house. Richard H. Willett, the former owner of the house, testitied that he sold Dunhka White the house—no money to be paid at the Ume, but deferdant agreed to pay § per cent. per annum, payable montily on the rice aj upon. He had since received the interest. regularly from a colored woman. Officer Shilling and Officer Miller testified that the reputation of this house was bad. Judg- ment was Berens and Caroline Brown was arraigned on the charge of keeping this house. The witnesses all repeated this former testi- The court said he had a right to draw the refusal of wit to an- swer, and if Caroline Brown choses to make a sacrifice of herself for her friend she could do so. He sentenced her to six months in jail, and in discharging Miss White he said that this was the only way of of this case with the testimony as elicit it was contrary to his convictions of right, but there was no aiter- native, as the proof was all directed to Caroline Brown and seemed to bea previous arrange- ment to make her the scape goat for the really guilty party.

J have often found myself walking in a wilderness, not knowing where I was golng. On waking I was cunning enough to find out where I was with- out betraying my great secret.” He married. and had every requisite for domestic happiness. “Last November,” he continued, “my disease assumed another form. J became possessed of an impulse to kill my friends, I could hardly resist an opportunity. The desire would last but fora moment and Hg away. An infant Was born to us two months ago. I loved it. was proud of it, When it first looked upon me the lesire seized upon me to prey upon its young ife, My {riends seemed to have been ignorant of my mental condition.

At the Paris exhibition of 1867 Baron Liebig himself was honored with the Grand Cross of the Le- gion of Honor, and the company with two gold medals, one as founders of an entirely new branch of industry, and the second for best «quality of their extract. At the prea Paris exhibition the gold medal, being the first prize, Was awarded for best quality. This brings up the number of first prizes and distinctions car- ried at all exhibitions since the company’s ex istence to nine gold medals and diplomas of honor.—[ Morning Post, + A MERTING OF STREET CONTRACTORS ha‘ unsettled Claims Inst the District, was helt last night at 221 Pennsylvania avenue, Mr. ‘Thos.
