He | received a scalp cut about two inches long and 2 quarter of an inch thiek tn the back of his head, and an ugly bruise near the temple in fall. ing. Robbery is thought to have been the ob- Jeet, as Mr. Harmer did not know his assailants and knows of no other reason for the attack. { Some men walking in the rear of him in the | same direction prevented the villain from car- | rying out hisintentions. No arrest was made, | and Mr. H. was escorted to the central station, where Dr. Waiter dressed his wounds, and he Was removed to his home on Ist street.

M. Slippen secretary. P. W. Shippen, A. G. Wall and G. Paine were elected delegates to the central committee, with J. Worthington and M. H. Hunter as alternates. THE SEVENTH DISTRICT REPUBLICAN CLUB met last night to elect officers, and delegates to the central committee. G.1. Joy was chosen resident, W. H.

Mr. Cross- man declined, remarking that it was better to decline than to be defeated, and Mr. Freeman was elected. Geo. W. Stewart was elected sec- retary. After thanking the club for the com- pliment paid him, the chatr urged upon the Members in their actions tobe calm. The cause for which they are working 1s as important now as it was to the colored man in 1800. ‘They have only a nominal freedom, without the. substance of franchise. Let them prove to their enemies that they are worthy of suffrage. Even white men do not always act In a calm manner in poutical affairs, as can seen in Maine. Let the 15th district be known as the model district. Mr. James Holmes was chosen vice president, Benjamin Crowley ass's- tant secretary, and Mr. Jacob H. Crossman treasurer. Theclub then resolved Itself into a mass mest and elected Messrs. J. H. Cross- man, James Holmes and Bernard West Gelegates to the central committee. In taking the vote for Mr. West by ayes and noes, the lord and long drawn out “aye” and *‘no” seemad to be about equal in violence. A motion the? pre- vailed that a sergeart-at-arms be appointed to keep order and see that none vote who were no. entitied. Some rather loud talking and eon- fusion here occurred, and the chair took occa- sion to say he did not know whether the Srar reporter Was present, nor did he care that THe STAR Was opposed to suffrage. and only let a negro’s toe-natl be seen at a political meeting, and Tre Star would haveit that there was a disturbance. He hoped there would be none there. Mes John Fitzgerald, president of the News Boy sociation, and F. L. Jeffers were elected alternates. A ROUSING TIME IN THE THIRTEENTH DISTRICT. The thirteenth district republicans met at Chaldean Hall, 7th and I streets northwest, last ight. Ats o'clock there were about fitty per- sons present; only six or eight being white. George H.

Mr. Boston said he had taken no part in the canvas and had not gcoured the alleys for a to come here, but he had asked only bona fide residents of the district. Mr. J. H.

J. Beall, who lives in the sth district.) Mr. Beall said that if Boston referred to him he would not retire unless the meeting by a vote requested him to do so. It was a public meeting, and he had come there asa genuleman. Mr. Boston.—“If you were a gen- Ueman you would not be here. “You ought to be put oul Mr. Beall,—‘ You can't doit. Halfa dozen Bostons can’t doit.” Mr. Boston.—“Oh, I can do that myself. It is not right that from other districts should come in here.” Mr. Beall.—*Why you are just fron: Maryland.” Mr. Boston hoped the gentleman would retire. M Be I won't.” Mi .

Mr. Chase—‘Well, we agree to that, but I understood that the ‘hall had been paid for before the meeting.” Mr, Boston sald that the gentleman who brought all this dis- turbance on the meeting was from the eighth district, and he had come here to brand him as op] to Bowen. This meeting had nothing to do with Bowen and nothing to do about the delegates to the convention, and as long as he had been nominated he would remain asa can- didate, The vote was again taken, the friends of Chase taking the north side of the room and the Boston men the south side. The vote resulted—Chase 31 and Boston 23. Mr. Chase took the chair, and returned his thanks for the honor. He hoped now that they would proceed harmoniously. Mr. J. R. Drew was elected secretary.

Mrs. Stanton said that Senator Wadleigh had stated that the women did not want to vote, but if he was here to see this hall packed he would find the women in earnest. WOMEN IN THE TEMPERAYCE CAUSE, ETC. Mrs. L. K. Allen, of Iowa, spoke of women’s efforts in the temperance cause, referring to the crusade movement, and said that in a few years she believed most of the workers would be in the suffrage movement. She noticed that in Wyoming it is useless te nominate any but amoral man, for the women will not vote for others. She spoke of the laws which allow men to hide away their property, but women are always required to pay their taxes on property owned by them, and when.a wife dies the hus- band can do what he pleases with property and children, while if the husband dies the wife is juired to give bonds, &c. While she claimed that Iowa was one of the most liberal states, the women there had a right to complain of un- equal laws. tis Anthony said she was requested to take a vote, and asked all who desired the right to vote, to suppress the liquor traific, to rise, and the entire audience rose as one. Miss Anthony.— “Now, reporters say that women do not want the right to vote.” Mrs. Gey. W@ilace, of Indiana, said that so long as they did not elect hight-minded men to office they would fall in putting down the liquor traffic. A YOUNG LADY WITHOUT MATRIMONIAL VIEWS. Miss Florence Harding, of Indiana, made a capital address, in which she said that women bestowed teo much in endeavoring to secure the admiration of the opposite sex. They should have an aim in iife, and have something else in view than matrimony. She had spent most of her days ona farm, had milked, taken care of stock, &., and now she wanted to vote. WOMAN'S WORK. * Miss Jessie Wade, of Hyde Park, 111, followed, speaking of the opening of several of the col- leges in that state to women. She referred also to the work of women on the newspapers, and the change in the tone of the press towards the cause. She spoke also of a number of lady phy- sicians, and referred to the putt having been guarded against the intrusion of wemen. In one instance, however, the wife of a minister who was sick filled his place with so much abillty that they preferred to hear her. Mrs. Sara A. Spencer, secretary, gave an ac- count of the work during the past year, sayin: that over 60,000 documents had been sent broad- cast through the country, and yet they were in debt only $125. Twenty-four states had peti- tioned Congress for woman suffrage. Miss Matilda Joslyn Gage recited what Miss Anna Ella Carroll, of Maryland, had done in the way of drawing up plans by which Sherman’s march to the sea was so successfully carried out, Miss Phoebe Couzins, of St. Louis, spoke on the “moral aspect of the woman question,” and told a number of incidents in the work done by women during the revolutionary war, claiming that they are always foremost in noble deeds, THE CLOSING SES8/0N was held last night. The attendance was not quite so large as it has been, owing to the in- clemency of the weather. Letters were read from Mrs. J. H. Nichols. of California, and Mrs. Dr. Clement Delozier, of New York city, regret- ting their inability to be present. Mrs. Lillie Devereux Blake addressed the meeting on the policy of the two political parties towards the woman's suffrage movement, saying that all they had done was to make promises. In tu- ture, it is hoped, women will not. be compelled to stand by and witness the most degraded specimens of the male sex exercise rights de- nied to women. Mrs. Emma Me! of the high school at Muncie, Ind., was intro- duced, and recited the progress made in favor of woman’s rights in her state. She was happy to Say that the salary she received was more than ana occupying a simita: posttion, and all teachers, whether male or fe male, were placed on an equal footing. Miss Phebe Couzins addzessed the convention on the “Inward Vices wich now Beset. Us as a Na- tion.” This was the last set speech of the con- vention. During the session Mrs. Matilda Joslyn Gage offered a resolution tendering the thanks of the officers and members of the National Woman Sufirage Association to Sara Andrews Spencer, of this city—corresponding secretary of the as- soclation—“for her untiring efforts in preparing for this session of the association, and also tor Ler indefatigable work with Congress in en- deavoring to bring about the results which the association desire to achieve.” Mrs. Gage in offering the resolution paid a beautiful tribute to Mrs. Spencer, saying, “she found several other delegates who desired to present it, but she claimed the right.” The resolution was adopted unanimously and signed by Mrs. An- thony and all the delegates. Amusements, &c. Forp’s OrerA HovsE.—At Ford’s last night there was hardly standing room. The magnifi- cent manner in which “The Black Crook” is presented is calculated to draw big houses.

One of the guests of the Metropolitan Hotel, who arrived last. night from Richmond, Va., and registered his name as George W. Hender- lite, of Marion, Smythe county, Va., jumped from the window of room 167 on the third floor of the building facing C street this morning, so injuring that his death followed in about two hours afterwards.

Mild and moist. Lowest. tmperature, In November, 16° above sero. Ground full ef water, wells all furnishing water, and roads most of the time nearly im- passable to loaded teams. Larks, blue birds, ; parties chipping birds, wrens, mocking birds, and sun- dry other varieties of the feathered tribes, have been plentiful in the fields all winter, now, so faras the months are concerned, nearly two- thirds gone. The after clap of this mild and, to me, enjoyable winter, with its apreeable con- comiiants, will be, quite possibly, a variable, disagreeable, backward spring. Fears have been expressed of danger to fruit buds. I see no indications of their swelling. The week of prayer was observed by the churches of this place. Fotlowing these obser- vaaces the Congregationalists are making a protracted effort to save the sinful. The Meth- odists of the old church propose to follow in,the same line with the Congregationalists when the meetings of the latter close. The Presby- lerian church society are contemplating build- ing a new church, I understand. The pastor, the Rev. B. H. Riddie, has been seriously ill for several months at Martinsburg, W. Va., and is but slowly convalescing. The thieves have been rather quiet this winter, but last Sunday morning after daybreak some of them began with an iron instrument to knock off the boards from the smeke-house, used for storit precious: of Mrs. Scott, an elderly woman Jiving in a somewhat retired and lonely place. The noise roused the daughter, who raised an alarm and the rascals fled. “They had succeeded in getting off one board. Certain e are suspected of the act. ‘The Lecture Association have given but two lectures so far. It seems to lead a doubttul this winter. The “club” holds regular m and has become an institution of much usefulness in our place. A library association has been estabiished in connection with the Congregational Society, and I am told has quite a good supply of boo! A CHICKEN THIEF IN A CHIMNEY FLug.—It was reported to Lieut. Guy yesterday morning that a notorious chicken-thief named Frank Sounds had robbed several hen-roosts in tie second precinct and taken his plunder to a house in the fourth precinct. Sergeant. Perry and Officers Martin and Shilling were detailed to work up the case. After going to several places they found the chickens in the back room of a house on New Hampshire avenue, between M and N Streets northwest, occupied by a white man hamed Scott and a colored family named Rob- ertson. Mrs. jtobertson stated to the officers that the chickens had been brought there by a man named Sounds, and that she was the only person then in the house. O/ficer Martin was not satisfied with this story, and proceeded to make a thorough examination of the premises, and found Sounds in the chimney flue. The officer, after considerable difficulty, got. Sounds out of the fie and turned him over to Lieut. Johnson, of the second precinct, who will in- troduce him to Judge Snell.

The Hoodlums of Washington. Editor Sta I want this communication to catch the eye of the police, for the remedy ot the evil I am about to complain of lies with them. A much esteemed citizen of the District Jost a child a few days since, and during the funeral obsequies at his residence a large crowd of negro ee boys and men, con; fated in front of the hcuse and made such a disturbance -that it was found necessary to expostilate with them; but they only abused those who inter- fered, at the same time refusing either to leave the vicinity or cease their noise. No officer was insight. This is not the only outrage of the kind that has fallen under my observation. I have also noticed bands of these men in open lots, carousing and disturbing the quiet of the Sabbath day. It would be well for the police, whenever and wherever they see a crowd of the bad element Boe together to rse or arrest them. They are gent very decorous while an officer is aro but the moment he isgone they resume their pavortte pastiine ot card playing, peed pennies, insult- ing remarks to passers by, accompanied with Joud and boisterous talking and laughing that is perfectly insufferable.
