A complaint was made by the indignant fataer to th comm ndant, asking for the clerk’s (Wiillam. Mardaugh’s) discharge. ‘The commandant referrea the papers to the Navy department, where they arrived this morning. It is not likely that any ac- ton will be taken, as young Varnay holis no of- cial position in the navy. DeatH OF A Naval Or¥icer.—A private dis- Patch was received In this city to-day announcing the death of Passed Assistant Paymaster €.J. Lewis, U.S.N., at Frankfort, Ky., lastevenlog. He had’ been sick for some time, Mexican Matts.—Postmaster General Gresham has matied a letter to the director general of posts of Mexico, calling his attention to the railway factitties lately acquired between his country and the United States, and suggesting that hereafter in all cases where practicable mail matter be sent by rail, instead of by :txamer, as at present, whereby the detentions of mail matter sent by sea at Vera Cruz in the yeliow fever szason may be avolded, and quicker communteation secured. GENERAL Suenuay’s Tarr.—Colonel Bacon, of General Sherman’s staff, has received a letter from General Sherman dat2d at Cocur d’Alene, Idaho, July 30, in which he states his purpose of leaving In’a day or two for Fraser river and Van Couver's Islan}.

A Sarcastic Towa Womay.—It 13 customary whea printed matter 1s held at the city post oflice on account of insumiclent postage to notify the party to whom the paper Is addressed of the fact. A card containing such a notice was sent to a wo- man tn Towa, whose reply was received to-day. It satd simply: “When pumpkins are ripe I wili send you one that has more brains thaa ever had the man who made this ruling on paper postage.” ‘Tne Hitt INVESTIGATION TRANSFERRED TO Cri- caGo.—The firm of Bartlett, Hayward & Co. hay- ing requested the Hill investigating committee to send, at their expense, an expert to Chicago to examine the heating apparatus for the federal building there, have been tnformed by Chairman New that the committee hid already taken steps to secure a competent and disinterested expert to make the necessary examinations at Chicago, and that the expense would be torne by the govern- iment. The offer of the firm was therefore respect- fully declined. It is understood that Judge Law- rence has decided that the Treasury fuud for the examntnation of accounts is avallable for this pur- pose, and 1t is probable that the expert will be paid outor that fund. Mr. New, who started for his Indiana home yesterday afternoor, will posst- bly be present at Chicago when the examtnation3 are made. The committee have afranged to sub- tt their report to the Secretary of the Treasury on the 25th inst. DECISION AGAINST A StaTE Wak CLAnw.—Attor- ney General Brewster has written an tmportant opinion in reply to a.question submitted by Secre- tary Folser regarding the payment of interest on money borrowed by the state ot New York during the war of the rebellion for the€nroliment, sub- sistence and clothing of troopa Pennsylvania, Obto and several other northern states have pre- sented claims of a similar character which lavolve hundreds of thousands of dollars taxes. The Attorney General, after acaretul fevicw of the act of July 27. 1861, which provides for the pay- ment by the Secretary of the Treasury, out of aay money not otherwise appropriated, to’ the gover- nor or authorized agent of any state, the costs properly incurred in raising it3 troops for the sup- pression of, the r-bellion, says that the claim for terest paid by the stite of New York on money borrowed for this _purpos? does not come within the province of the act. The opinion affects all claims pending of this nature, that of New York having been selected by Secretary Folger as a test case. ‘The only means by which these claims can now be collected is through an actof Congress making aspecific appropriation. Tue First Crvit Service Letrer-CaRRikR.— Postmaster Conger has appointed Chas, K. Allen as a substitute letter-carrier. Mr. Allen’s name Was taken from the “list of eligibles” furnished by the recent civil service examination, and he is the first man appointed fn the city ‘post office under the civil service law. Tue Large Mason Pirxce—Major Henry H. Plerce, the intelligence of whose death at Foster Creek, W. T., has come to hand, was an eminent scholar and a brave soldier. In 1861 the deceased became a sergeant in the fourth Connecticut in- fantry, and was in active service until the end of the war, He distimgu'shed himseif during the siege of Petersburg, and for his bravery was thanked in orders ‘and was given the brevet of major “for conspicuous gallantry.” When the war Major Plerce practiced law for a time in Connecticut; but afterwards applied for and received the commisston of Heutenaut in the regular army. He served as professor of military sclenee to three different states, and afterward commanded a compiny in the Nez Perce cam- ign in 1877, taking part in the celebrated march roun Vancouver to the Missouri river. At the time of his denth he was on his way to conduct a sct- entifle expedition through the inountains between the Columbia river and British North America. Licut-novse Rrronr.—Major 0. E.

THE BROTHERHOOD “AS SOLID AS A ROCK.” A dispatch was received here from Master Workman Camp'vl', of New York, to-day, d-ny- Ing reports that 200 men there had gone back to Work, and declaring that the brotherhood was “a8 gold as a rock.” . ‘THE REPORTED END OF THR STRIKE NOT BELIEVED HERE. After the report cam* here about noon thit the strike was ended a Star reporter dropped into the headquarters of the brotherhood atthe Na- tional hotel. “We have heard not'sing at all from New York,” said one. “If the strike is ended it 1s ended tn our favor.” “How wouid you learn tf the strike was ended?” asked the reporter. “We wou iv2 word very quickly, direct committee of the brother- ad from the executive ihe strikers a reports e strikers discredited the reports that it had been det rmined to abandon the strike. NO DESERTERS FROM THE BROTHERHOOD IN WASH- INGTON. “There are rumors going about,” said an op- erator to-day, “that there have been desertiors kere, and I understand such reports have been sent away, Atroll-c*ll last night every man in the brotherhood except one answered to bis mame.” AT THE HEADQUARTELS OF THE BROTHERHCOD The telegraphers’ headquariers at the National hotel presented the usual scenes this morning. A euchre party occupte1 the center of the room and a group of operators s‘091 about watching the Varying fortunes of the game. The skirmishers Were abroad looking out for operators who may have strayed into the city during the night, and the general reply to the reporters’ Inquirtes was “no news.” ‘The telegraphers recetved private advices trom Cincinnati this morning denying that any strikers there had gone back to work, or that any were under contract to go to work. ‘THE RESIGNATION OF CAPT. WHITNEY, who has been manager of the Western Union of- tice in this city for the past twelve years, was the chief local topte of comment among the operators. One operatof sald: “It has been pretty generally understood in telegraphic circles that ever since the absorption of the American Union company by the Western Union a change of officers for tnis city. has been desired by the latter compiny. But owing to the relations w existed between Capt. Whitney and Gen. Kvkert no change has taken plice until now, when, under certain clr- cumstances, it became evident that the Western Unton wishéd Whitney to be displaced as man- Ager, and he took the hint and resigned that. post- ton, which will probably result In the removal of other local officials at an early day. The appoint- ment Of @ man as manager from another city,” continued the operator, “gives color to the bellef that an entire chanze In the present management of the company’s office in Washington ts contem- plated. Moreover, the departure of Capt. Whitney would seem to indicate that Gen. Eckert has lost some of his former prestige; that he does not stand as solid and high in authority as has been the case heretofore, and that after ali his rumored resigna- ton may ‘contain more truth. than was at first lieved.” OPINION OF AN OPERATOR. One of the operators to-Jay expressed the be- lief that the strike would result beneficially to the men tn any event, He thought it would have been a wiss course to have ordered out every operator Iu the brotherhood in the first instance, whether he was employed by telegraph company, Fallroed company or private houses. In that case business would have been so paralyzed that terms would have been made with the strikers at Once. As It happened the railroad operators were not called out until the strike had lasted more than two weeks and the railroad men had grown ‘Umid and doubtful : THE CHANGE AT THE W. U. OFFICE. Mr. Clark, the new Westeru Unton manager in this city, returned to Philadelphta last evening with Mr. Tinker, and 13 not expected to return here until next Monday. Mr. Whitney, the for- mer manager, Is still in charge of the office, and a SraR reporter was told to-day that the situxtion Temained unchanged, and no further changes or removals had been made. There were however, plenty of rumors founded upon the change in the Inanager’s office, and it was stated that this was the beginning of a gen-ral Shaking up among the personnel of the Western Union oMmicials in this etty, which would extend vo the clerks in the of- ce. reason given for such a movement on the part of the company is that they wish to get rid of the sympathizers with the strikers. It was stated that Mr. Marean, the assistant manager, would tender his resignation, but he had nol done so this afternoon. The change made yester- day wa8 a complete surprise to him, as, indeed, it was to all the officials. There was arumor that as Mr. Whitney wasa brother-in-law of Gen. Eckert, the general man- ager, that the latter’s resignation would soon be called for. ‘This was reported som> time ago, and many believe that it had some foundation. = STRIKE NOTES FROM OTHER CITIES, A telegram from Augusta, Ga., says: Th? strike among the telegraphers in the third district of the southern diviston 1s regarded as practically ended. ‘The full force returned to work at Charleston yes Yerday. Five operators returned at Augusta. Superintendent Miller, of the Western Unton office at Cinctnnatt, reports that three of the first- class .striking operators notified him last night that they would return to work to-day. This makes nine accessions here from the strikers. ‘The Pan-Hindle railroad operators at Pittsbu are still at work. Superint-njent Tavlor ha issued an order dismis:ing those who Tefused to send commercial business, but he afterwards re- quested the men to continue at work until further Notice, A number of operators on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago raflroad have been dis- charged for refusing Western Union business. —_—_-o- A Purr. or THe Late Cater Justice CHase DEAD.—Mr. James Colgate, an old and respected citizen of the District, died this morning at his residence, 618 E street northwest, aged 67 years.

The ‘the corner of Elk and Hambut witnessed by thousands of persons, stretched across the street, and suspended in the center was the form of a man. It was made of sawdust, a suit of black clothes, white shirt and gloves, and crowned with a high silk hat. It robably resembled the informer as much as itdld teau. A placard on the back of the effigy con- tained the single word “Carey.” On either side were cards Rearing the names of the victimsof his treachery. At 8:15 a torch was applied toa pile under the effigy, ang it blazed up amid a suc- cession of deafening cheers, Stones and sticks were hurled at the burning figure by men, women and children, and many imprecations were show- ered upon it and Carey’s name. ———— Lovers Restored to One Anothcr From the New York Tribue, to-day.

A very interesting case has come up in the or- Phang’ court in Baltimore comsequent upon the late Stockton slley tragedy, to determine which of the two, William Schmidt or Mary, his wife, was the survivor of the other, 43 upon its solution ‘Yests the administration of the estate of Schmidt, valued at about $5,000. Early on Thursday morn- ing of last week Schmidt, Who kept a beer saloon on Stockton alley, first shot his Wife and then him- self, both being dead before the arrival of any hysiclan. The wife was shot while in the store, frst in the throatand then n the body,and Sohinldt then ran up stairs and immedtately shot himself, but a minute or two perhaps intervening. Av the coroner’s inquest there was no question as to the murder and suicide from the statements of wit- nesses and the surroundings, but 1t appears there 1s adoubt which of the two died frat. According to the statements of witnesses exam- Ined yesterday, it would appear that Mrs. Schmtdt lived for fully fifteen minutes after she was shot, while Schmidt, from the nature of the wound 1n- filcted by himself, the shot taking effect in his head, evidently lived but a few minutes. Owing oth’ absence of several important witnesses, among them the coroner and the police oMcer rst upon the sche, the case Was continued. Should Mrs. Schmidt prove to be the survivor the property will go to her brothers, Christian and John Goss; but, shou!d Mr. Schmidt prove to have been the survivor, the property will pass to rela- tives in Germany. ‘The property, including funds in the savings bank, was held'in the names of Schmidt and his wife, as tenants in common to either or the survivor. There is an adopted son surviving, but he has no right to the property in law. The question involved ts adelicate and curl- ous one. oe = ‘The Second Crop of Watermelons. From the Charleston (8. 0.) News, Aurust 8 ‘The first crop of watermelons, which was more numerous than profitable to the growers, has been exhausted, and the entire crop of the South Georgia melons, which was also unprofitable to the growers, having also been exhausted, the price of the fruit has advanced and the demand from the north and west considerably Increased. The South Carolina railway compuny are dispatching extra trains to transport the melons to Charleston for shipment north and also to western points. ‘The recent rains have helped the second growth of the melon vines, and the indications at present are that the melon-growers along the line of the South Carolina railway, between Branchville and Augusta, will not be as “short” as it wis at one time thought they would be, ‘Phe supply of the fruit in the city Is very scarcé. og Fines 1N RICHMOND AND DANVILLE, VA., AND Msripian, Miss.—In Richmond, Va., a fire on Carey stréet. yesterday n.oruing, destroyed A.
