It was stated at the signal office to-day that the weather to-morrow will be warmer than to- day, but that Sunday night it will grow colder, and willbe so on Monday. In regard to the fatlure of the warm wave to materialice when predicted this week, it is stated that when the prediction was made there was every indica- lon that it would be verified. Warm weather prevailed In the Mississippi vat ley, with a low barometer through west, and would have driven the “high” off the At lantic coast but for the appearance of another “high” on the Nova Seotian coast. There were, however, but two stations in this District, Washington and Lynchburg, where there wad not arise in temperature. A fall of fifteen de grees in the temperature is considered a cold wave, and a rise of if warm wave. But for the arrival of another high there fs no reason to doubt that the predicted rise of over fifteen. degrees would have occurred. ‘The fall for to-morrow night and Monday it 1s. thought will hardly reac! the tions of a cold wave, but it will be several degrees colder: ‘The Assistaut Treasurership.

Dick Anderson, colored, driver of the Police Court van, discovered a fire in house No, 43, in Howard's row, in South Washington, shortly before one o'clock this afternoon. He notified No. 4 engine, and an alarm was turned in from box 425. The fire department got to work quickly, but the flames had gained toogreat hh adway, and in an incredibly short space of {ime had spread over the entire row of ten houses. Before the second alarm could be sounded nearly one thousand persons were In the neigh- borhood of the burning buildings. Men, wo- men and ebildren assisted in carrying out the household effects, Including a dozen red-hot stoves.

The man cried for helo, but before a ladder could be hoisted to the window the flames reached. him, and he leaped for his Ife. _He fell upon his head and was seriously injared about the head and body. He was placed jn @ wagon and driven to Providence A SINGED car. While the fire was in progress a cat came to the third story of one ot the houses and stood on the window-sill for some minates until it became too warm for her, and she then climbed tothe shutter and hung to it for nearly fifteen minutes, when the blaze broke through the window and the cat fell tothe ground.

Why No Congressional Action is Ex- peeted om Either Measure. ‘The tariff reformers have not yet formulated ‘any general tariff bill, and the disposition of the ways and means committee has been in no ‘way tested. It is predicted by some of the old members on the democratic side that this see- sion will be femous for nothing but ite appro- priation bills. It is thought that there ts no chance of the Honse and Senate both agreeing to any general tariff bill, and all questions of currency and coinage are very much involved. By the declination of Governor Curtin Mr. Mil- ler, whois @ banker and a man of financial training, thoroughly well equipped, is placed at the head of the committee, But he is a banker of the southern school, and it is considered to be very doubtful that. he, and the committee generally, ‘will favor any of the eastern bank-note circu jation sebemes. They will probably fight over ‘the MePberon bill and come to no couelusion, oreise ‘Dpon something apon which both houses will not be able toagree. It isstilla matter of uncertainty how the ae com- question, though i is Veleved t0'0e more faye, uestion, s belie ore favor- Sble to the edutinistration than otherwise.

Lee, alia Dick Sparrow, convicted: on December 19th of the murder of his wife on ‘November 23d last, was called in the Criminal Court, Judge MacArthur—e motion in arrest of judgment having been filed by Messrs J. W. ‘Walker and T. C. Taylor, his counsel, based on the grounds that one of the Jurors, Thomas W. Chase, was 9 salaried ofMcer of the United Stat and that he evasi’ answered e Guestions alfecting bie sompeteney In, that, he swore he had never been convicted of a crime involving moral terpitude, when he was con vite paylor a 1p be Teun, clsiming a paylor Opeue = that the controlierhed red th anofficer and bo read onthe ‘ecorte of the Solies and be ma the recor Court the Information on which Chase was convicted Jan 15th last of assaultin Annie Hall and Ligsie Ford. It waa true tha’ the sentence was small—but $1 in each case— but the law does not require anything but the sentes {t made no matter as to the extent of i ‘Phe defendant was eutitiod to the common law right to competent jurors, and they did not know at the time of trial but that Chase was a com juror, Disrtet ttorney Worthington stated that they hed not shown that the incompetency was unknown to them at the time, and, read- ing the certificate of the district auditor that Chase was employed as a watchman, dc, be Claimed that the law did not make such an employe ineligible, but made it a privilege to be exercised by the juror. Such officer was not ‘within the meaning of the law “a salaried offl- cerof the United Sta .’ and he read from Otto that such officers received their ap- pointment from the President or head of an executive department. Chase was simply an employe or oificer of the municipality. On the question of moral turpitude he would say that hase simply pushed two women from his gate and was fined a dollar. ‘Mr, Walker, for the defendant, followed, say- ing it was the daty of the government to sent to them a ist of competent juror in answer to the distriot attorney he would quote from a little book, which was recognized from the Supreme Court. to the magistrates—"A Dic- Honary of, the English Language, by Noah Webster, LL.D.” [Laughter. fading the definition ot officer, he claimed that the jury Jaw quoted contemplated all public officers, and under the appointment for a public service, Chase was ax much un officer as the marshal, and neither was competent. They are met by the point that they should have used due dili- gence, but ne repelled it. The couyt said that the motion in its present form was’ not appropriate forthe object in view, and it should have been a motion to set aside the verdict. If Judgment was arrested, the defendant would go unpunished, and one of themost flagrant homicides would be freed. He felt that after the verdict of the jury he gould stigmatize the offense. Exceptions had been taken, and it struci him that it did not go to the competency of the juror. The clause as to lawyers, &¢., was not probibitory, but such per- song could be excused ifthey pleaded their em- ployment. When he found that Chase was a watchman he dismissed him. He doubtless thought it right when he answered the ee tions, but the question whether he could draw ay from the Commissioners was one for them. Re was, however, competent, On the point of moral turpitude, suid thatan assault was not a crime involving moral turpitude; a felo- nious ‘assault might be one, but not an assault like this. Mr. Walker.—But this was a woman, ‘The court.—That would aggravate it, but there are some woman who can stand up before astrong man. He complimented the counsel Who,being assigned to the case,had without any hope of reward shown much diligence. Being quite clear that Chase was qualified to sitas a juror, although he had made a grave mistake, Te thought the verdict should not be distarbed: The defendant asked to note an exception, The government moved sentence, and the defendant, who bad Chae? the morning sat bebind his counsel with downcast eyes, now covered his face with his hands. ‘The defense then prepared a motion for a stay of execution of the sentence, to enable them to apply for a writ of error, and this was filed. ‘he court then asked the prisoner if ne had anything to say. ‘he prisoner having recovered his composure replied: “I have nothing to say.” ‘THE DEATH SENTENCE, The court then sentenced the prisoner to be hanged by the neck until dead in the District jail between the hoursof 11and 1o’clock on the second Friday after the journment of next term of the Court in General Term. Lee maintained his composure until the con- cluding words, and when the court ended with the words “and may God have mercy upon your soul” he came near breaking down. ‘The Case of Nardelio. ‘The case of the Italian Antonio Nardelloalias Frank Ross, convicted of the murder of Cur- mine Rotunno, by cutting his throat on July 29th last, wasthen called, Messrs.
