The women and children are in a destitute condition. Mr. F. J. Puruurrs, private secretary to the President, left for New York this morning. Bonbs EXcHANGED.—The U.S, bonds withdrawn from securities of national banks by Treasurer Gilfillan and surrendered to the Secretary of the Treasury, to-day, for exchange. into three per cents, amounted’ to 24,881,000. ‘Total to date— $178,454,000. G. A. MILLs, of Baltimore, has been awarded the contract for the joiners work of the post office building at St. Louts, Mo. A Prospacrive Boxp Catt.—Secretary Folger Is considering the advisability of issuing a call for bonds, and it 1s probable that a deciston will be arrived at and action taken to-morrow. The sur- plus money in the Treasury has been considerably overestimated. It 1s, in fact, only $137,000,000, or about the usual reserva of forty per ecnt held to secure the legal tender circulation. Nearly $16,000,000 of bonds which have been already called have not yet been presented for redemption, and this cireumstance may have some influence on the course to be pursued by the department, The present high premium 1s likely to prevent the pur- chase of bonds, so that If any action is taken to- extended fives, for an amount not yet determined upon. SECRETARY CHANDLER 1s expected to return to the Navy department on Monday. As yet no intimation has leaked out who will be appointed Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and it 1s probable that the appolntinent of this ofticer and that of Assistant Secretary of War will be deferred until Congress meets in December. Ms. FRANCKE 8. WILLIAMS, the well-known member of the corps of sclent!fle examiners in the Patent Ofiice, died this morning at his residence, 1335 11th street northwest. Mr. Williams, a native of Connecticut, was a graduate of Yale ahd a man of broad culture and high scientific attainment. ls attractive personal qualities endeared him toa very large circle of friends here, in New York city, where he practiced law before’ coming to Wash? ington, and in Connecticut. ‘These qualities ¢1 abled him to be very instrumental in bring! about the organization of the Yale Alumni Asso- ciation of this city. Mr. Williams was at the time of hfs death a prominent member of the New York Avenue Presbyterian church ard the superinten- Gent of its Sabbath school. He leaves a wife and daughter. RrstorEp TO Practics.—Secretary Teller to-day decided to restore Charles D. Gilmore, of this city, to practice before the department, He was dis- barged by Secretary Schurz in 1880 on the charge of bribing clerk to influence his action in a case in which he was interested. This charge was de- nied, and Secretary Teller was asked to review the decision. He refused to do this, but in considera- tion of the length of time thathad elapsed and the large practice of Mr. Gilmore he concluded to restore him wighout deciding upon the merits of the cause of his removal. It 1s believed that this action will pave the way for the application of a large number of practitioners who have been dis- Personal.—U. 8, District Judge Settle, ot N. C., 1g at the Ebbitt,—Hon. G.

A PROSPECT THAT THE WORK WILL BE WELL UNDER WAY THIS FALL. Major Hains has not yet been advised ofictally of the approval of his plan to reclaim the Potomac flats, which was printed In yesterday’s Stan. He will probably receive such notice, however, dur- ing the course of the day or to-morrow, and he will then advertise for proposals to do the first section of the work. The first work to be done will be the dredj of the channel. It is believed that by the middle of October the work will be well under way,and will be prosecuted right along to completion, except such times in the winter when the ice will interfere with the operations. Major Hains says that the is quite an easy one from an engineering standpoint, but the wor! will, of course, require his personal’'and unremtt- tng attention. He has thoroughly mastered all the theoretical details, and in the course of a few years will make an improvement of which the People of Washington will feel proud.

AN ALLEGED FALSIFICATION OF VOUCHERS. Commisstoner West to-day recetved a letter from Controller Lawrence, of the Treasury department, in which he states that ‘the records of the pro- ceedings of the school trustees of the District shows that during the past two or three years a considerable number of teachers have been ab- sent, but an examination of the pay rolls submit- ted With the accounts of the Coimisstoners fails to show any absence§ or deductions on account thereof.” He state tho understands that it s been customary when teachers have been ab- Dt to carry thelr names on the rolls and pay them their salaries upon their furnishing a substi- tute, to Whom the absentee pafd one-half of the amount of salary received.

SoLp His Ciorues To Pay THE RENT.—A col- ored man named Richard Basey was before Judge Bundy yesterday on the becal of stealing a lot of clothing from another colored man named Thos. Porter. Porter stated that some time ago he lett a woman with whom he had been living fora number ot years as his wife, and soon afterwards saw the defendant, with her in ghurch, and the de- fendant had his (witness’) clothes on.
