Burch is the second Secretary of the Sen- ate who has died in office. The first Secretary S., Who was elécted upon the organization of Senate in 1789, and served until the summer of isl4, when he died. Upon the meeting of Mas: th Con the following October, Charles Cutts, | of N. H., was elected. He served until 1825, when Walter Lowrie, of Pa., succeeded him, and served until 1836, when he resigned; and Asbury Dickens was elected. Dickens was succeeded by Col. John W. Forney in 1861, and Forney by Gorham in 1868, and Gorham by Burch in i879. The term of Col. Bureh’s service was the short- | est of any secretary the Senate has ever had. CAN ANY MONEY BE PAID OUT UNTIL A NEW SECRETARY IS ELECTED? There is no rule or provision of law by which any official can assume or perform the seere- "sduties. His most responsible duty is that bursing officer. All the money for the pay- loyés is drawn upon the secretary's draft. and the question as to what shall be done now will be referred to the first controller of the Treasury. It is thought, probable, that he will decide that no money can of d elected and installed. In March, 1861, Wm. i hief clerk, was, by a special resolution, assistant secretary, and empowered to perform the duties of the office, because of the | illness of the secretary, but this applied only to that one case. —____»___ The Methodist Protestant Camp.

The young peéple not otherwise engzazed were to be'seen in all direc- n pairs, walking in the woodsoron the railroad track. The favorite walk is over having xh to walk on the track when it is tie for 8 trains tocome d: iz down the road. d ister this morning. while walking over the track at the arch, heard the whistle of the ap- proaching Richmond night-line train due in Washington at 6:20; the train was then neagly a | the | spa jatform, which he reached with time to before it glided by, remarking that a min- r could not run on the same rail and at the | same time as a train.

Others will be out Before Sunday ‘ater cart will be used ‘p the dust down, and Mr. Weibert by that will have to make provision for a number of. regular boarders beyond his hotel, as also for the transients, there being now only room for his | regulars at his tables. THE FIRST SERVICE | Was held last evening, when the bell was rung | and called ont a congregation of about 150 or 200 souls. This service was commenced by sing- the hymn, “Lord, we Come Before Thee | Now,” followed by praver by Rey. J. W. Gray, f East Washington, who implored a blessing on nsecrated ground where they would re- new their covenant. The hymn, “How sweet the | name of Jesus Sound. . and Rev. ‘hed the ser- fark LV.26th and 27th verses, theme “Growth of Christi .” In he referred to the free of men, the responsibility of his salvation h himself alone, and he argued that man should be good as well as do good, and j humble self, for by growing down in will we rise ~ spiritually. Rev. Seott Norris, of Baltimore, _ offered prayer Rev. ‘Dr. Murray ” followed in an address congratulating the company on the prospects of a successful camp, and uryed all to | self-examination and the resolve to live better, avoid criticism, aud strive to be unselfish. PROGRAM OF CAMP 11 He announced that the bell would ring for rising at 6; there would be prayer meeting at 7, followed by breakfast: preaching at 1014 o'clock and the church hymn book and Gospel | No. 3 would be used. The night passed without an incident save some skylarking on the platform, and this morn- ing the sun rose clear.

If the two bodies | were not so closely joined together they would } be taken readily for twins, for the faces are | much alike, and the inner leg of each is shorter than the others—the longer legs being used for walking purposes.

Mr. Wm. H. Simms has sent a note to the Commissioners stating that he is desirous of leasing for a term of years (not less than five) the terminus of Washington street, south of Va. avenue, bordering on the Potomac river for which he is wiiling to pay €80 per annum semi- annually. | The building inspector has addressed a note | to the Commissioners, stating that the work of | Febuilding the south end of the Georgetown market has progressed so far as to make it un- necessary to have a foreman to oversee the work, and he recommends the discontinuance of Mr, Reeside’s services from the end of this month.

On the 5th of September, 1868, a codicil was added to the will, in which the bequests of #500 each to Alexander and Henry Purdy were revoked. and $250 substitu- ted. On the 18th of September, 1872, a second codicil was added. In this the annuity of $2,500 per annum to the wife, Sarah C. Purdy, was in- creased to $3.000. The direction to sell the household and kitchen furniture was revoked, so far as it related to the furniture in the second baat front room of the family residence, which is given to the wife for her sole and separate use. ——— Again, the Soldier's Home, To the Editor of the Star: Will you please inform ‘‘Suum Cuique” through your columns in reply to his query in yester- day’s Star that if I were—as he supposed—a government employé living in a house paid for out of my galary I should be very glad to receive any “old soldiers” or other respectable persons who chose to call. and certainly should not close my house and refuse to receive visiters on Sun- day. This brings the question back to its proper issue.

THE ConTRovertEep Cup.—All the Washington participants in the Glymont shooting match for the Beckham eup do not seem to be satisfied ith the decision of the umpire, that as the National Rifle Association had not within a reasonable time responded to a request for a construction of the rales, the match is “off.” The referee of the National Rifles, under date of July 27, writes to Mr. Beckham, who had sent hima postal on the subject: Hon. J. B. Beckham:—Yonur postal received. 1 have seen the telegram and letter referred to, | and my surprise is, of course, complete. Where you get authority for such action is a matter be- yond my comprehension, for certainly ghe matter isin the hands of the referees, and ‘until they arrive at some conclusion or fail to agree you, as umpire, have nothing to say. Consequently, I am in duty bound to protest against any suel ar- bitrary action on your part. In conclusion, allow me to say the companies I represent in this mat- ter want nothing but justice under the rules that governed the match; and for that I most certainly contend, but lam confident we shall not sub- mit to arbitrary action in a matter of this kind. If your action is to prevail, and the refcrees are thrown overboard, you can count the National Rifles out of your future contests. Very respectfully, Jo. Manson, ‘eferee National Rifles. To this Mr. Beckham replies under the same | } date: adhere to my decision, and will be sorry if the match shall come off without the National Rifles’ team participation.” This closed the corresponcence. = Habeas Corpus Case.—Circnit Judge Keith, after a hearing in the habeas corpus case of Lewis C. Payne, held in jail here for want of a peace bond, determined this morning to make no decision as to his jurisdiction in the case. He said that even if heishould conclude that he had jurisdiction to review the action of the mayor he would still fix the peace bond at | $1,000. Mayor Beckham, at the judge's sug- gestion, reduced the surety from 1.500 to 1.000.’ The question was argued before Judge Keith by Mr. Kemper for Payne and Mr. Brent for the Commonwealth. The bond now required is the second of Mr. Payns’s peace bonds; the first was given in the Burke-Payne matter sey- eral weeks ago in: $500, with Gen. Lomax as and is now claimed as forfeit.

At the word she strode forward and reached the quarter in 331g, the half in 1:0514, the thi uarter in 1:39} and completed the mile in without the slightest indication of a break. In her second heat she reached the quarter in 32!g, the half in 1:03%{ and three- quarters in 1:3734. Here she hesitated, swerved and finally made a bad break, but, recovering, she came under the wire in 2:133¢. The thir and last heat was almost a repetition of the first, being trotted cleanly and squarely, with- out even a skip. The first quarter was made in , the half in 1:05, the three-quarters in 1:381¢ and the mile in 2:12. These three consecutive heats are the fastest ever trotted by any horse in the world.
