He was in favor of suspending al these peciiitar Practices during’ the hous of these meetings. as desire to have thelr heads clear during the ‘aiscussion of the momen- Jous questions, which are likely to arise. It had ) been said that no deliberative body of any dig- nity ever indulges in the habit of smoking. He begged to differ with gentlemen. The most de- liberative body he knew of was notoriously a smoker—that body is General U.S. Grant, but his case {s an exceptional one and should not be followed by the southern republican as- sociation. They desire to maintain their dignity and self-respect, and not to drive away gentle- inen whoare sensitive to such nuisances. He hoped the amendment would be adopted. The motion was further discussed by Messrs. Horn, Reredeil, MeLindsey, Cardoza, Brown, Hill and others; and adopted.

About one year ago THE STaR published an account of the case of the estate of Robert V. Harrison in the Probate ‘Court on petition of ‘Miss Hamilton and Mrs. Duering, Claiming we be heirs of the estate, which case was decided ad- versely to the petitioners. Harrison, who died ata house on Ohio avenue, had all_his Iife with Mrs. Harrison, who aon New York avenue near 15th street; C reet, between 10th and 11th, and 18th street nor D, and who bore oe reputation of keeping a house of ilrepute. He was supposed by many to be her son, and notwithstanding his sur- roundings he grew up to bea well-behaved man and good eftizen, although he had no education whatever. | He iearned the trade of coachmaker with the McDermotts, but did not work at it after he was free. He was, however, a member of the old Auxillary Guard, the pollee force of Washington in ante-bellum day remarked that he need not oman ed enough for him to live Harrison, as he wa8 generally called, died in the ‘house where Mrs. Harrison died in 1872. He ft considerable personal estate—about $6,000 it is said—and Dr. J. F. Hartigan, who at- ten@ed him in his fllness, having as a creditor obtained administration of the estates adver- tived for the heii As stated above MISS HAMILTON AND SISTER PUT IN A CLAIM, which last sana was decided adversely to them by J dg Olin, and they then fled ts- sues to be tried by jury, Dutnothing further has ep done in their case. The claim of those arties Wis that Mrs. Harrison was a daughter vard Hamilton, a brother to their father, Eben 'T. Hamilton, of Loudon county, Va. ‘The government claimed in this case that’Mrs. Har- rison was “Cinthy” Ashford, of Alexandria, who with her sister, fell into loose ways while work- ing at the ‘otton factory near Four Mile Run; that she became the mistress of Mr. Harri on, and after living with him a few years in Alex: andria, came to this city and opened a house of asstynation; that the ‘younger sister was the moher of “Bob” Harrison by Robert. Ruther- ford, and finding herself poor she confided the child (Bob). to her sister, and subsequently she joined Rutherford in the south, and nothing aiterward heard of them. NEW CURIMANTS, then appeared—Murphy and others—who in their petition claim than Jane A. Murphy, Mary F. Fox and Anna Casseen are the children and heirs at law of Rachel Casseen, daughter of aes Ashford, brother of Nancy Ashford. Nancy, they claim, was Mrs. Harrison. ‘To sup- port this claim, Mr. A. D. Frazier testifled that be lived at Four-Mile run in 1820, and Tom Ash- tort married a Miss Hoskins: that Tom’s sister Nancy came to Washington, and he never saw her again until some years afterwards,when she came into Lawyer Brent’s office and asked for money to buy shoes. T. H. Glover testified that he knew Nancy at Four-Mile run, and also in this city, when she kept house for Mr. Brent and was known as Mrs. Moore; that her husband’s name was Sandy Moore and the boy’s name George Moore; that he was born in 1823; saw him just before Harrison’s inauguration. Richard A. Rudd testified that he knew Nancy Ashford, and heard that she had a child and came to Washington, Jane De Neal swore that she knew Mrs. Ashford and her children, and wee seen Cynthia on the corner of 12th and E $; that she was first known as Cynthia Dawes. had heard her called Harrison, saw Nancy at 12th and E streets. John T. Arm- strong testified that the Ashfords (the mother and her daughters Nancy and Cinthy) lived near oid Diagonal pump in Alexandria in 1817 or "18, and it Was common report that Nancy had child, a doy, eae Rutherford, who was called om.” Mr. Jos. H. Bradley testified that ncy Moore several years before 1840 was the puted misiress of W.L. Brent, the lawyer. ’. Mills testitied that he knew Bob Harrison FOR THE GOVERNMENT IT WAS TESTIFIED that Mrs. Moore lived with Col. Brent on 12th streets; that her boy, George, went to Ould’s ‘sehool and had a good education, and studied law in Mr. Breni’s office; that Mrs. Harrison was unlike Mrs. Moore. Mrs. Jackson testified that Mrs. Moore, who lived with Col. Brent, dealt with her, and she spoke of her boy going” to school; knew Bob Harrison well, and saw him about’ ten days before he died. ‘John Hudson testified that he knew Mrs. Harrison as Tilley Harrison, and knew the son all his life; also knew Mrs. Moore and her son George, who studied law in Mr. Brent’s omnes: thinks that he Was aimember ofthe bar. Vivian Brent testi- fied that he knew Nancy Moore who left Wash- ington in 1844 and went to St. Louis, and she married his father in 1847, who died in Louis- jana. W. H. Lemmons testified that he was a slave of Col. Brent’s; knew Mrs. Moore and her son George, he was called Goorge Thornton, and studied law with Mr. Brent. The case was recently argued before Judge MacArthur holding the aN Court, and the government argued that Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Harrison were not kitiror kin, neither were the boys George Moore and Thos. Harrison; that Mrs. Moore was not an Ashford at all before marriage, but a Dawes. District Government Affairs.

Saunders was’ ar- ralgned on the charge of an assault and battery on Constable Beam.” This charge grew out of Beam attempting to levy on goods in Sammons’ store on 7th street, near E street, and the de- fence was that several days before the firm had made an assignment to Saunders for the benefit of thelr creditors and that he was simply resist- Ing what he concelved to be an invasion of is ughts. The testimony was to the effect that Mr. Saunders simpiy endeavored to prevent Beam and those with him from renewing. the goods, and when Mr. Saunders said he held an assignment Beam said he did not care for it for he had an indemnitying bond.

Editor Star ‘ou will do the public a great service if you will call the attention of the au- thorities of our city to the abuses which have been practiced of late on New York avenue. The most delightiul and beautifdl portion of this grand avenue has been assigned to the uses of the Columbia Railway Company. Some months ago this corporation commenced to re pair its wasightly track, and for this purposi destroyed much of the sod bordering said trac Cok Not only has this sod not been replaced, but the excavations made are in many places still n, and the consequence is that this misera- built track despoils the beauty of the most adimired street of the capital. Yet there seems to be no one whose duty it is to look after the matter; or if there {s such an officer he grossly neglects the duties for which he is pa‘d. Then gain, whenever the asphalt pavements on elt side of the parking are icy, the whole current of travel rushes through’ the park; mach of it keeping partly on the railway track, but more upon the sodding of the park. A few days ago we saw two carts loaded with coal stalled in this park, and yet the police never in- terfered. Now, if the streets intended for travel do not answer the . the sooner the as- phait, is abandon oa e Vetter, at; least. the parking will no longer ad@ beauty or heaithful- hess to our streets unless there {s_ some protect- ing power somewhere which can be invoked.

A Mivgk FRIGHTENED To DRATH.—Vaughn Colliery is operated by David Vaughn & Co, at Ashland, and a few days ago thedepu- ty coroner of that district was called to the above-named mines to investigate the causes which Jed to to the death of a miner named Charles Dreshinan. A jury was empaneled, and aiter taking the testimony of several witnesses, the following verdict was rendered: -*That Charles Dreshman came to his death from a nervous shock produced by extreme fright.” It appears that Dreshman and two other men were working abreast, when a mass of top-coal fell, and this accident was followed by slight ex explosion of gas. The miners started to escape, on the way out Dreshman fell, and. his com: peneae ran on a short distance before vhey noticed his abserce, and went back and found him suffering from’ extreme nervousness. He said: “We will never get out alive,” and trem- bled vi eer nd a giving other evidences of extreme fright. The danger being passed, his friends tri to reassure him of his safety. but his nervousness seemed to increase momenta- rily until he reached the igway, when he fell into convulsions and died Sshortly afterward.
