The inquiry into the alleged misconduct of two of the Capitol guides toward two young ladies who recently visited the Capitol was begun this morning by Sergeant-at-Arms Leedom and Architect Clark, of the Capitol Police Board. ‘There were present Miss Blanche L. Wakefleld, of Annandale, Va, the young lady who made the original charge as {t appeared in Tax Sra, Rev. Mr. Wakefield, father ot Miss Blanche, Rev. Mr. Jones, of this city, to whom Miss Wakefield first complained of the alleged indignity offered her, the two accused guides, Mr. John Popham, jr., and ‘Mr. Boden, and the father of young Mr. Popham. MISS WAKEFIELD'S STORY. Miss Wakefield reiterated her original statement to the effect that she and Miss Minnie Thorne, of Piscataway, Md., visited the Capitol, and were being shown through the building by the two guides, Popham and Boden; that while tn one of he recesses of the Senate end of the Capttol Pop- ham suddenly threw his arms aro rand Kissed her, she and Pophain meantime, having be- come separated from Miss Thorne and Boden; that She indignantly drew away from him and resented the liberty. 4 BOGUS CHECK. In all its essential points Miss Wakefield adhered toher fst statement. In the course of the in- quiry it was developed that Mr. Wakefield, father of the young lady, had received what purported to be a check for $60 from young Popham, th ude accused by his daughter. According to Mr. arse Si Sree neDeeD Stsa ale im mone: to take $60 as he wanted to visit his mother. tn Ob1o, who ls sald to be dying, and he had no money. ‘The account of Popham differed very materially from this, He sald that last night Mr. Wakefield called upon him (Popham), poke of his pressing need of money,as he was anxious to visit his dying mother, and intimated that he would put a stop to ‘the whole proceeding for a consideration, You Popham says that Mr. Wakefield estimated what the trip would cost, and said he woula suppress the inquiry’ and drop the mat- {er for an amount | suflicent to, | pay lis expenses, ham al that he asl imé consider ‘and emeniatel went and consulted his father; that the latter cautioned hiin not to give any money or anything of value, but advised him to give Wakefleld a bogus culeck signed by a fictitious name, as a means of showing that it was Money that the accusers Wanted. In the presence of a witness, Popham says, he gave Mr. Wakefield what purported to be a check for $60, at the time he ‘Popham avowing his intention of in- forming the police ‘Soard of the transac. tion early this morning. The bogus check was produced, | Mr. akefleld maintaining that he accepted it only as a loan. It was developed, that the man whom Popham had 35 a witness to the acceptance of the bogus check went to the captain of the Capitol police _and in- formed him of the transaction; that about mid- night the captain visited Mr. Wakefleld and ad- monished him against receiving anything from the other side. In consideration the check it was alleged that Mr. Wakefield agreed that his daugh- ter should not be {spre to testify. This he de- nied, saying that he stipulated that his daughter should be vindicated by an acknowledgment of the truth of her statement. MISS WAKEFIELD INDIGNANT. Miss Wakefield apparently had no knowledge of the bogus check transaction until this morning. ‘She appeared indignant, and declared that she was eighteen years old, and would not be controtied in this matter by her father. She maintained that she had told the truth, and would adhere to ts MISS THORNE’S CARD. In the course of his statement Mr. Wakefield sald that after the publication of the card pur- porting to have been signed by Miss Minnie Thorne and her mother he (Wakefield) walked 30 miles to see Mr, Thorne, father of Miss Minnie, about the card; that Mr. Thorne acknowledged the card to be genuine, saying {t corroborated what his daughter had told him, except that she admitted that she and Miss Wakefield might have been separated during their visit at the Capitol for per- haps two minutes, in connection. with the receipt of the 3 check, Mr. Wakefteld sald he was Induced to eve that unless the matter was hushed up his daughter's picture would be published in the Police Gazette, and that she would be given a most unenviable notoriety. ‘That, he said, rendered him anxious to put a stop to the proceeding. A STOUT DENIAL BY THE ACCUSED GUIDES. The two accused guides stoutly denied the charge. They said that when they approached the two young Idies in the Capitol one of them remarked that they (the two girls) would “draw Straws” Lo choose between the two guides, After hearing all that those present had tosay the board concluded to adjourn the hearing until next Wednesday, with the view of having Miss ‘Thorne present and of taking her testimony. ‘The Fort Coeur d?Alene Scand: THR RESULT OF A COURT OF INQUIRY—SEVERE REP RIMAND BY THE PRESIDENT. It will be remembered that last winter serious charges were preferred against Col. Frank Wheaton, 2d infantry, late commanding oMicer, and 1st Lieut, S. E. Clark, 2d infantry, late acting assistant quartermaster at Fort Coeur d'Alene, Idano, These charges, which reflected seriously upon thelr administration of the affairs of the post— alleging numerous irregularities in the use of Governinent | property ‘and supplies and tn connection with contracts and money—were by direction of the Secretary of War, investizat by a court of inquiry, of which Col. 'H. M. Biac! 23d infantry, was president. The result of thé court has just been made pubite. The court is of the opinion that, while the actions of the accused may have had their origin in a zealous desire to create a military post ior which no adequate appropriation ‘had been made, the methods and processes were de- plorable, and were greatly to the detriment of the service, and subversion of all discipline; that through the disregard of law and regulations by the officers coucerned a lawlessness was en- gendered which, when it reached the enlisted men of tue command, greatly demoralized unem and ‘Scandalized the Army. ‘rhe President, in Spraying the proceedings of the court, cuncifrs in Its opinion that the methods and processes employed by Col. Wheaton and Lieut. Clark were deplorable, subversive of disci- Pline, and detrimental to the service. “These methods involved, in the President's opinion, a disregard of law dnd Army regulations highly disereditable, for wntch no valid excuse was afforded by any existing exigency, and be- trayed a recklessness and a are e of evasion which, peppy. are very unusual in the conduct: of Army officers, and which merit emphatic con. demnation, “The officers whose misbehavior has been ex- posed by this investigation point to the military post built under their direction as a monument of their energy and zeal, and they appear to find Satisfaction in this result achieved with the scanty means placed at their disposal through govern- mental appropriation, but they should not be insensible to the fact that an achievement by un- lawtul and forbidden methods such as are dis- closed upon this inquiry cannot redound to the credit either of themseives or the Army, and that no protitable result can excuse or justify a viola- ton of law or Army rules and regulations or con- done a resort to methods frauduient in themselves and which invite peculation and corrupuion. “Notwithstanding the reprehensible conduct of the: Mlicers, and the unlawful complexion of the transactions exposed br this inquiry, the fact that some of the most serious charges are barred by the statute of limitations; tbe difficulty, made apparent by an examination of the record, of obtaining satisfactory evidence to support the chazges upon which a trial might be had; the cor sequent uncertainty attending the result of suc a Utal; and the great expense and inconvenience Which would be occasioned thereby, constrain the President to advise that further proceedings upon the accusations investigated by the courtof in- quiry be abandoned,” a Ir Is UnpERstoop that J.

Wright, the chief the National Bureau, 4s looked up to as a mentor by all the others, and as again chosen president, Hisexpertence during a period of sixteen years in the statistical fleld of Massachusetts has gained for hum more than a national reputation, and his reports are found upon the desks of every industrial establishment of Massachusetts, He is now a man of about fort: of splendid physique, and delights in listening to and telling gc jokes. His latest is how an impending strike ina shoe factory of Lynn, Massachusetts, was averted. A laster was dis- charged for incompetency; the union would not allow it, The om loyer had to yield, but he did it in his own way. He inserted an advertisement in the paper for a Knight of Labor laster, “are you a good luster?” “Yes, sir.” “Can you unlast, too?” “Of course, sir,” said the astonished applicant. “Then, go to work,” said the employer, “at eres every pair of boots this man here is lasting.” Another story Mr. Wright delights in is this: A certain manufacturer, employing no more than a dozen men, Who happened to be all ae one day hired an Irishman, who was a first-class hand at the work. The Englishmen felt sore and appointed one of their number as a “kicking com- Inittee.” Said the employer: “Why 1s it that you fellows don't Kick against Irish employers?” “Oh, well, that 4s different,” said the committee. “Well, then,” said the manufacturer, “T shali take the Irisiman into partnership to-mérrow.” A Baby’s Seaside Adventure.

AN AGEDLADY DROFS DEAD DURING 4 VIOLENT FAMI- LY CONTHOVERSY. At Richmond, Ky., Monday evening, Mrs, Nathan, Gentry, her son N.B. Gentry, and the latter's wite, were at the house of Mrs, Catherine Cusick, an aged lady and grandmother of Mrs. N. B. Gentry. Gentry engaged in a violent controversy with his mother, which grew almost or quite into a fight, and was about to involve Gentry’s wite andprobably her mother. At this junction Wm, Faulconer, brother of Gentry’s wife, appeared and struck Gentry on the head with a stick, makti the blood freely flow, Such an excitement follows that Mrs, Cusick fell prostrated and died in afew minutes. She was probably elghty years old, Her husband was an arehitect, and built the great am. phitheater at Richmond twenty years ago. Gentry and his mother at once left town together in a buggy. ——__+e+_____ Dared Him to Marry Her. From the Marion (Ohio) Mirror.

BUCKNER, HIS WIFE, HTS BABY, AND HIS BARBE- CUE CAMPAIGN. Gen. Buckner, of Kentucky, first met his pres- ent wife here. She, by the way, 1s.a niece of Mrs. Washington, of this State, the vice-regent of Mount Vernon for West Virgibia, Since I last wrote, Gen, Buckner has been here to spend two days with his wife and baby. He said, after beginning his Speech-making in his campaign for governor in entucky, he found that the committee of ar- Fangements had lett a couple of days vacant last week when he would have no addresses to make anywhere; so he took advantage of about theonly Uime for rest he would have before the election in August to come here to see his family. Naturally he is very proud of the hapdsome young wife and bouncing baby boy. There are three candi- ates in the feid against Gen, Buckner, the nomi- nees respectively of the republicans, the prohibi- ‘Uonists, and the labor party, of Kentucky, where- fore, the democrats are working very hard to make their majority as large as bie, It is to bea barbecue campaign of the old fashioned type, So there are a number of busy bees in the canvass. Boltvar Buckner (the nominee), and his Bride, and Baby (also named Bolivar Buckner) and the Big Barbecues, the first of which occurred before Gen. Buckner came here, A TOTAL ABSTINENCE KENTUCKIAN. AS some may think that a party eschewing one of the great Kentucky staples—whisky—has no possible chance in Kentucky, it may be mentioned that Judge Durham, the First Controller of the Treasury, although by birth, education, and resi- dence a Kentuckian, 15 a total abstinence man, not only as to whisky and other alcoholic beverages, but abstains strictly from use of that other sta- le of his State, tobaccoalso. When some one, hear- ing this from another in Judge Durham's presence lately, for the first time, expressed surprise, say- ing the wonder was the greater because ot Judge Durham being a Kentuckian, he sald, quietly, that he made three campaigns in’ that State for’ von- gress and Was elected each time, but _never asked a man to drink with him, or accepted an invita- tion to drink with anyone, or had any liquor at his headquarters at any time during elther canvas.

Her mother thought it would e critel to keep her here atter the gayettes began, because she could not, on account of her delicate condition, take part th the pleasures her young friends would enjoy. She improved much while here, and rode horseback dally. Mr. Edward Moseley, the secretary of the Inter- State Commerce Commission, told me before I left Washington that his wife was spending the sum- mer in West Virginia near this place, and would not be in Washington again until autuian. Mrs. Moseley is the younger sister of Mrs, Harriet Pres- Cott Spofford, the talented authoress. ‘Many readers of the Star will recail meeting at this place, and also in Washington in 1872, and later, Mr. Grant, a Scotchman, who had served in the British army, but who came to this country to settle here, He bought alarge tract of land inthis immediate neighborhood about 1872, and has lived on it most of each year since then, but annually oes to Scotland for a visit. He sailed from ork for that purpose nearly two weeks ago. A few years back, when he inherited some property in the British Isles, he took the name of Peterkin in addition to his ‘own, Grant. Mr. Gordon Cum- ming, Who in 1877 married Miss Eames, of Wash- ington, was one of those who came froin the Brit- 4sh domain to live tn this country about the same Ume Mr. Grant did, and he bought the country lace on Which he and his wife have livedin Mary- Fand'sinee tneir marriage, ‘Among the hotel arrivals lately published in ‘Tag Star Isaw the name of Mr. Hugh Caipbell, of St. Louis, who probably went to Washington to sce about ‘the restoration of the deer park at Mount Vernon, for it will be remembered that ‘while the board of the regent and vice-regents was Jn session at Washington's old. home tn May that the three sons of the late Mrs. Robert Campbell, of Missourl, the vice-regent of the State until her death, gave as a memorial tothelr honored mother $3,000 tor the purpose of restoring the deer park. ‘They sent thelr check then for the full amount. ‘This 1s an even larger suum than Jay Gould lately gave, as THE Stax has mentioned, to purchase 333 acres of tand adjoining Mount Vérnon to present to the Mount Vernon Assoclation, for, as stated in ‘THE Stax, that tract cost the New York million- aire $2 So the gift of the Messrs. Campbell in memory of their mother is the largest single con- tribution for a specified purpose Mount Vernon has ever recelved since the final payment was made on the original purchase. AN ADVENTURE IN LONDON. A Washington lady gives the following true account of an adventure of one of these wealthy young bachelors of St. Louts, Mo., in the streets of London: This gentleman, the eldest son of the late Mr. and airs. Robert Campbell, of St. Louis, Jong intimate friends of Gen, and Mrs. Grant is a tall, well-developed young man, who felt minded ‘when last in England to take his chances in a London crowd ona day of a grand street proces- sion, preferring to view the pageant among the people, and observe the poorer classes of “Luuaun town” at such a time, aS well as the display of a grand civic fe, 80 took his stand on the stone coping Of @ fountain in @ thoroughfare through ‘which the procession was to pass. Pretty soon a young English woman in widow's weeds climbed up beside him, and showing straightway her need of @ manly arm to keep her footing, explained to the young gentleman next her that her hus- band—who Was, she sald, an officer in the British army—had been killed in vattie, and had ett her so iliy provided for that she could not hire a window to see the show that day, so was forced to stand in the street as best she could. ‘There- upon the American, seeing her about to fall, offered her his arm, and she gracefully accepted it with ‘thanks, and Kept it until ready to return to her lodgings. Next, some little street gamins, rough, dirty boys, climbed up upon the coping, and Mr. Campbell gave them a safe place, too. Pretty soon a shabby big laboring man, with a baby in his arms a8 dirty as himself,’ and a wom: evidently thechild’s mother, with him, approached and began trying very roughly to pull oys down to Seclire their places for hunself. This Mr. Campbell promptly resented, and tried to shame the man for his efforts to pusil the boys aside, and asthe man grew impudent told him the boys should see the parade as they Were there first, and he would protect their right 2 “If you had spoken like a gentleman might have give up my place to your wife, but I ‘won't let you disturb those little boys.” “If you are such @ gentleman,” tauntingly an- grrered the man who was evidently used to push life “take my baby and hold it, the show anyhow.

Bishop and Mary Von had a lawsuit last month in San Francisco about some furniture which each claimed. Bishop came to California in March from New Zealand, and, though having a wife there, sought the assistance of matrimo- nial agent in San Francisco, stating his desire to married. He was introduced to a stout, ¢o0d- looking woman, whe went by the name ‘of Dr. Mary Von. Bishop had plenty of money, and bought her $400 worth of furniture, with which she set up hi Ing. She and Bishop lived to getmer as man and wite tor several weeks, but family troubles arose, and Bishop tried to regain Possession of the furniture, which led to the sult mentioned. Testimony on the trial showed that the woman was an adventures and had inveigied Bishop. ‘This sult broke up their relations, and yesterday Bishop went on board the steamer Ala- ineda for New Zealand. Mrs. Von met him on the steamer, and without saying a word pulled a pis. tol from’under her shawl and fired directly at his breast. She attempted to shoot a second time, but the pistol was taken from her grasp by a by Stander. ‘The bullet struck Bishop about the nfth nib, on the right side, and ran round the flesh to the opposite ‘side, where tt was found and ex- tracted. ‘The wound fs serious, but not particu- larly dangcrous, Mrs. Von was arrested and taken to the city prison, She pretends to be ignorant of her actions, and disclaims any knowledge ot hi ing a pistol or of having shot Bishop, He saysthat the Woman had made thr~ats of shooting him since the trial of the suit, and that he was going back to New Zealand to get rid of her. = ~see- “I Know I Am Right.” GENERAL MASTER WORKMAN POWDERLY'S LECTURE ‘ON TEMPERANCE.
