The letter carriers are doing a big business to- day in valentine day literature. On the occasion of Robert Collyer’s lecture last night, the spacious and comfortable audl- torium of All Souls church was completely filled, but not overcrowded, because the man- agers of the lecture course very sentibly de- cided to sell no more tickets than there were seats. By this thoughtful precaution the audience were able to hear, see and breathe to advantage. It would do injustice to the inimita- bie lecture, (upon “Clear Grit”) to attempt an abstract, but in general terms it may be sald that it abounded in d sense presented with such eloquence and humorous point, that the awiience was compelled to express its delight almost continuously. Mr. Collyer has a very striking likeness in face to Henry Ward Beecher. District Government Affairs. Mr. J, J.

It is probable that such a plan would meet the approval of the District Commissioners. TAXES BUE FROM RAILROAD COMPANIES. H. A. Willard andJ. W. Thompson, represent- ing the Columbia and Metropolitan street rail- Boke companies, were before the Commissioners u See ee Cel an make a proposition to the District Commission- ers and the District Cot ional committees, including their ideas of a basis of settlement of ‘their taxes.

The north © street and South Washington railroad company ts the only one which stands clear on the District books. REPORT IN CHIEF ENGINEER CRONIN’S CASE. The District Commissioners have made a re- port to the chairman of the Senate District com- mittee, in response to a communication from said committee, enclosing itten charges of one James Springman Martin Cronin, chief ——— of the fire department, with a request for an examination and report on the same. The District Commissioners state that ee recete of these charges they were to the fire board for a report, which has Deen duly made. The investigation upon which that report is based seems to have been so thorough thatits continuance by the Commis- stoners would not be likely to elicit any mate- ial facts in addition. The Co: Of opinion that nothing has been developed to ‘the prejudice of Mr. Cronin or requiring any ac- tion by them further than to submit, as they do herewith. the report of the fire board for the information of the committee.” INSPECTING THE RIVER FLATS. A party of tlemen, composed of members of Congress, ict Commissioners Dent, Mor- and Twining, Assistant eers Hoxie gan and Greene, Health Officer Townshend and Other District authorities and invited guests, about seventy in number, at the invitation of ‘the Commissioners left the Baltimore and Poto- mac depot at 1.30 p.m. to-day to take a view of the river front and flats, the purpose being to afford members of Congress all the information Possible as to the condition of the flats, prior to any action that may be taken for their improve- ment. Of House District committee there were 5 ey mt: Messrs. Martin, Miller, Neal, Aldrich, lunton and Heilman. The train (two coaches) were started at the hour named and proceeded across the river as far as Roaches Springs where they a rt time, and then returned to near the Washington side of the river. Here a stop was made long enough for observation; but the tide being rather high, afull view of the extent of the tats could not be taken. The Commis- stoners and citizens explained to the members the condition of these tats in the hot season, and the deleterious effects upon the healthful- ness of the city in consequence of them. After @ free conversation upon the subject the train returned to 11th street, where coaches were in readiness to take the party to the 11th-street iharf, Where an oyster roast was in readiness for them.

Associa-~ jon. A REPORT ON THE RECENT DEFALCATION OF TEERY, THEIR SECRETARY. ania The annual meeting of the Terri Loan Savings and Buildin; F Association, was held last night at Sovereigns’ Hall on 1ith street. There wi tion of repo secretary, Seth Terry. Mr. T. P. Sharks, president, called on Gen, W. H. Browne to make astatement, That genieman, chairman ef the committee to endeavor to effect a settlement ahd to save as much as possible, commenced by stating that they had by this time learned that recently, and unex] , the secretary had acknowledged having made use of their money, some $25,000, to some he had stated $35,000. He did not attempt to extenuate his offense and he had assisted the committe in their examination and had given them evidence without which nothing could have been done— what he called his petty cash book. It had been. stated that when arrested he was on the eve of leaving the city; there had been nothing pre- vious to prevent ‘him leaving, and had he done so he would have carried away much of the evi- dence, In answer to questions as to how he was able to commit this crime and keep the di- rectors ignorant solong he explained that a Jarge number of the stockholders were in the habit of paying their dues to the secretary, and hein many cases saved them the trouble of going to his office by calling on them, and they all thought that he was doing them a favor by saving them the trouble of atten the meet- ings. These moneys he would put in his petty cash book, and the accounts of the payers would remain uncredited on the real books of the association. When the Girectors complained the excuse would be made that the times were hard and themembers were not paying. Those members who paid direct t> the treasurer have the satistaction of knowing that their money fs safe. When the secretary was asked what he had dore with the money he stated that it was to pay interest; that he had ‘nvested in claims to the amount 01,360,000; and had the test case on the 20 per cent claims (in which the butk of the money had been in- vested) not been appealed by Attorney General Pierpont he would have paid up all arrearages and had a handsome profit left, and they would have never known anything about it. All the claims it Is proposed by Terry and his friends to turn over to the asso- ciation, among which some Indian claims may realize a few thousand dollars. They had made a proposition to the directors to turn over to them certain property, and if this proj tion, after examination, should be as advant ous as it now looks to be, the loss will be very smal. Their object is to get their money bac! and as business men they proposed to do al they could to save the stockholders from loss. They had, however, no compromise to make with the law. He urged that they should not get up a panic or go into law, asking for a re- ceiver, and they should take warning from the adage, “A shell for he; a shell for thee, but the oyster is the lawyer's fee.” It was pro now to continue the ex- posed mination of the books to ascertain exactly how each account stood, and Mr. Bryan, the temporary secretary, being unable to attend to the duties, it was proposed to elect another— Mr. F. W. Pratt. A question was asked as to the Itabilities of the secretary’s bondsmen, and it Was stated to amount to about $2,000, and the int was raised that as the money ‘was paid imas the agent of the association, the treas- urer’s bond was liable, and the‘board of directors responsible for the loss. Mr. W. B. Evans asked if it was not the director's duty to examine the stubs of the receipts. Mr. Brown said that that was regarded as a private book. A motion was made that the office of secretary be filled; and the meeting then adjourn; that the same officers may be continued until the final report on the Subject, and after some discussion this was agreed to, and Mr. F, W. Pratt being elected secretary the meeting adjourned, subject to the call of the directors. Washington Irish Relief Fund. The contributions for the relief of the famish- ing poor of Ireland, made through the citizens’ committee of this city now amount to $4,332.35, Of this, $2,436.50 was remitted to the Mansion House relief committee in Dublin, by Mr. George W. Riggs, on the 2th of January. There is a balance of $1,896.38 in the hands of Mr. James Fullerton, the treasurer, who hopes to be able to remit at least $2,000 on Monday to the “Irish Famine Relief Fund,” of which Messrs. Patrick Biggar, M. P., and Hon. an, M. Pa, 62 iddle Abbey street, ly rers. Besides the above balance in Mr. Fullerton’s hands, some $250, or thereabouts, was collected at the Congresa- tional church on the 2d inst. and paid to Mr. P. Cullinane. The contribution of the members of the House of Representatives amounted to about $1,160, and was sent to the New York Heraid. Mrs. Geneyal Sherman has also made some collections. Washington’s contribution ‘so far is at least $6,000. A meeting of collectors and others interested in increasing the relief to be sent to Ireland is called for to-morrow even- ing at Carroll Hall. on READ REED’s Sons’ AD., then keep Lent. t A SKULL FRACTURED By A BOTTLE.—In the Po- lice Court, this morning, Thos.

Connois were charged with an assault and bat- tery with intent to kill Timothy Horn, It ap- pears that these young men were at a ball at Saengerbund Hall last Monday night, when a dispute arose and Kelly threw a spittoon and Connors a bottle, at Horn. The bottle strack Horn onthe head, and it was reported at the Police Court by Horn’s mother this morniag that his skull was fractured, and that since the occurrence fine glass has been oozing out of his head.

Cardinal McClos- key at first declined to accept the trust, but sub- quently reconsidered his action, and in a letter said he hoped the. fund would be augmentsd to. a large sum by the subscriptions of the people throughout the land, that it may reach propor- tions commensurate with the terrible need of the feito | people of Ireland. Mr. Parnell also declined, but the Herald hopes that the rsuasive force of an eminent example may nduce him to reconsider his decision. The Herald says:—“If Mr. Parnell or his supporters know any starving families who mignt be over- looked in the distribution of our fund, we offer to see that they are not lected. The only question asked will be, ‘Is this a case of real destitution?’ If it is, there will be no inquiry whether the sufferers are Catholic or Protestant; whether they belong to the home rule party or another party; whether they have paid their rents or refused to pay them; whether they are support- ers or opponents of Mr. Parnell and his methods. The all-suffictent title to relief will consist: in the fact of destitution. If Mr. Parnell declines to serve on the committee, the verdict of the American public will be that his object is not reliet for his starving countrymen, but selfish agitation for his own political and personal ag- grandisement, and that he is not only anol structionist in his own country, but an ob- structionist of charity here. If he deliberately puts bimself in this position, the Heo tern a ple will think it about time that he ended his A Heavy Rain FALL IN THE West yesterday caused a serious rise in the Ohio and other western rivers.

Editor Star:—Your leader of yesterday _re- minded me of what I should, and intended to have done several days since, informed the pub- Ne, through your valuable medium, as to the character and condition of one of the District school houses. I allude to the over-crowded, if not packed, and badly-ventilated old rookery, the “Public School Building” in the large and thriving village of Uniontown. There are at present several children who are seriously ill with typhoid-pneumonia, and it is the opinion of at least one physicien there that their sick- ness fs justly chargeable to the foul and vitiated atmosphere of said building. Your corres- pondent ts also credibly informed that there is an old privy vault under the same roof, which is constantly emitting its vile and death-dealing odors, More,anon. BODY-SNATCHING aT RICHMOND, Va.—Not- withstanding the recent publicity given to the alleged robbery of graves of colored paupers in Oakwoed cemetery, at Richmond, the horrible business seems to bave been revived. The guard in that cemetery yesierday morning, about two o’clock, fired upon a party of five who were proper to disintera body in the pauper section, ie ghouls fled, leaving eir tools near the spot. 2 Albert Lewis Gallatin, indson of the American statesman, Albert Gallatin, died in London, Thursday. &2~Comptroller Kelly fell from a horse car, in ee yesterday, and had his shoulder dislo- cat CUTICURA From the Hon.

Now, about three months ago, Mr. Meehan, a gentleman well known to Boston ‘people, called my. attention to your Curicura, and promised wonder- ful results if I would only make a trial. He told me of his own experience with it, and so persevered on me that I went with him to a drug store and bought two large boxes of Curicuna and some Curicuna Soap, and commenced to use it acco1 to the ons, ‘There was so much humor lodged within the skin that as scon as I commenced the use of Cvricuna it came to the surface and festered, until vast quantities had come out and greatly. intensified my sufferings for about two weeks. hut I did not mind er ab felt that I was going to get rid of the humor when I saw it co1 the surface in such juant reevae ae the eaiswo or Lee ly, was greatly encoi a Haart Sa uly, fai and cheer- followed the directions to the letter, f¢ ch week nearer a until at the present mo- ment, after three monthg’ use of Curicuna, and twelve years of as constant suffering as was ever em.

But the age which could make such atrides in science has alsorevealed the restoring power for this fatal disease. Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure is as certain in its healing pewers as a mathematical problem. It is guaranteed to cure 99 per cent of all Kidney Diseases and95 per cont of all Liver Diseases, and that it will do this is beyond question. Read the following extract from a letter from Bickett & Griffin, Drageists, Monroe, N.

Residents of Washington and vicinity will re- member the remarkable cure of Col. Averill, which occurred within two years, but it may not be gener- ally known, that it was accomplished by means of ‘Warner's Safe Kidney Cure, then inits infancy. It was, however, the same means which rescued Col. Averill from a certain and most painful death, and which is curing thousands throughout the land that is presented to the public, and which can be pro- cured of any druggist.
