In the little front room of house No. 1725 E street northwest lies to-day the dead body of the twenty-sixth victim of violence in this District in the year 1888. It is the remains of James Payne, who was fatally stabbed last Wednesday night by Dorsey Suber. To-day Coroner Patterson held an inquest, The foi- lowing jury was impaneled: A. Worch, Chas. A. Rawlings, Chas. T. Moore, Wm. B. Crowley, Dennis Ireland, and Jno. McGitton. The first witness was Virginia Payne, the mother of the deceased. She testified to hear- ing a rumpus up-stairs the night of the 27th, and on going up saw Dorsey Suber standing over her daughter and quarreling with her. She went to him and tried to get him away, but could not. Her son, hearing the fuss, came up and asked her daughter if she wanted Dorsey in the room, and if she did not he would see that he didn't come in there She then described the difticilty. CROSS-EXAMINED BY THE PRISONER. Dorsey Suber, the murderer, was present and asked if he could ask» few questions, The coroner informed him that all questions must come through him. The prisoner then asked if Mre, Payne bad s knife fn her hand when ebe came up-stairs, Mrs, Payne answered that she did have aknife in her hand, but threw it down wlien she came up. Suber then asked if she shook her fist in his face, but the coroner ruled against the ques- tion’as unimportant “Isn't ita fact,” asked Suber, ‘that when I was ordered ont of the front room I left and went to my own room in the back of the house?” ‘Mrs. Payne answered that such was the case, and that her son entered Payne's room after she had told him what Dorsey had said to her. Several of the jury then asked the witness questions, and she contradicted herself several PAYNE'S SISTER TESTIFIES. ‘The next witness was Mary Thornton, the sister of Payne. Her testimony was similar to that of her mother, with the exception that she asserted that her brother was on the landing when Dorsey left her room and raised his hand to strike him; that he followed Dorsey up into his room, where the tight occt Jane Payne was then examined, but her testimony was unimportant, as she was down stairs when the fight took place. Dr. Hartigan gave his testimony as to the wounds. He found five stab wounds, one in the left shoulder and the other four scattered over the left side of his back. In his opinion the man died of hemorrhage from those wounds, There were some minor vessels divided, but with proper surgical attention there was no occasion for the man to The knife with which the murder was committed was produced and identified as Suber's, ‘THE VERDICT. The room was then cleared and the jury went over the testimony and arrived at the following | Wilmington a delegation was awaiting his a} verdict: “That James Payne came to his death at his residence, 1725 E street northwest, in the city of Washington, District of Columbia, about | 9 o'clock p. m., December 27, 1888, from a hem- orrhage, the result of punctured wounds in the body, inflicted with a knife held in the hand of Dorsey Suber.” WHAT SUBER SAYS, In conversation with the prisoner, he told Stan reporter that the deed was done in self- A CENTURY AGO. The Inauguration of George Washington as President. HOW HE TOOK THE OATH OF OFFICE—THE CERE- MONIES ATTENDING THE OCCASION—ENTHUSI- ASTIC RECEPTIONS ALONG THE ROUTE FROM MOUNT VERNON TO NEW YORK. The differences between the inauguration of a President of the United States in these days and the same ceremony when the country was young were never more clearly emphasized than they were last night when Mr. Clarence Winthrop Bowen, of New York, read, before the American Historical association, his paper on “The Inauguration of George Washington as President of the United States.” - The correspondence of Gen. Washington, said Mr. Bowen, during the fall and winter immediately preceding his inauguration as President showed very clearly an unmistakable reluctance on his part to assume the duties of the office. Nearly all of his letters are in that same strain, ToSamuel Hanson he said: “My first wish is to be allowed to spend the evening of my days in the quietude of private life.” To Lafayette he addressed a similar remark, and to Harry Knox he wrote: “My movements toward the presidential chair are like those of 4 criminal to the place of execution.” Having said farewell to his mother at Fred- yurg, and having borrowed £600 to the expenses of his trip northward, on April 16, left for New York in in company with Mr. Thompson famphreye., Bearcely had the two left Mount Vernon when they were met bye arty of friends and admirers from Alexandria, ‘ogether they proceeded to that city, and , at Wise’s tavern, a great dinner was served in honor of Washington. Patriotic toasts were numerous and speeches were not ing. “Go,” said the mayor, addressing the Presi- dent-eiect in his farewell re orks, “go and make a te people So overcome by his emotions war’ the greet, general that he could scarcely re: to the eulogistic fare- wells, When, on the next day, he left Alex- andria, he was accompanied to Georgetown by great crowd of not only men and boys, but also by a large number >f women and children, forming » processiog “hich, said a, writer of at time, “was «than jumphan! Rome ever beheld.” ae ALONG THE ROUTE. ‘The company was met half way by a number of residents of Georgetown, who, not content with this, escorted the general as far north as Baltimore. Outside of that city the cavalcade was met by a number of the more prominent citizens, and together they proceeded to Grant's tavern, where a supper was served. The gen- eral went to bed at 1@ o'clock and was up be- fore daylight on the following morning (Satur- day). At 5:30 the early breakfast had been disposed of, and, amid the cheers of the peo- | pls;and the “boom” of artillery, Washington ad started for Wilmington. It was evidently the intention of the escort to accompany him to that place, but when the procession had left Baltimore 7’ miles behind it the general in- sisted that the Baltimoreans return home, and they reluctgnly complied with his wish, ar proach, and an address was read to him. He ‘was most hospitably and reverently cared for, and was accompanied by many Delawarians to the Pennsylvania line. Philadelphia had made great preparations to receive the hero. | $1.000 ad been appropriated to pay for t mili- tary reception, and invividual effort to do honor to Washington was evident everywhere. Early on Monday morning Washington arrived it Chester, and there he breakfasted, His car- iage was, by himself, ordered to the rear, and defense; that Payne had him down on the bed | when the journey was once more taken up the and was beating him, when he pulled his pocket-knife from his pocket and stabbed him. cing what he had done, he hurried fora doctor. Suber gave himself up at the third precinct station this morning about 8:80 o'clock. He appeared with ban about his head and hands, be having been cut. Mr. Campbell Car- rington has been retained by the prisoner. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. A POLICEMAN SUSPENDED. Policeman John Fainter, of the second pre- cinet, has been suspended on « chargo of in- toxication. The officer was at police head- juarters yesterday morning perfectly sober. fe went on duty at 1 o'clock, and an hour later a citizen reported to Lient, Heffner that the officer was intoxicated. The patrol wagon was sent for him and he was taken to the station and suspended. ‘Too mIGH. Mr. H. W. McNeal, of 1504 H_ street, a few days ago wrote to the Commissioners ‘stating that the supply of water at the house is insufi cient for the demands of the house. He said he had paid €14.92 for the use of water for this year. and for not more than two hours daily could he get water on his second floor. The Commissioners to-day wrote him that they found that owing to the extreme elevation of bath-room is located cannot be supplied with- out altogether depriving other houses of their supply. THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO DEPOT. The District Commissioners have notified Mr. W. C. Dodge, as president of Citizens’ as- sociation No. 3, that the Commissioners have no right to refuse a permit to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company to construct a building conformable to the building regula- tions on its own property. This is a reply to a protest made against granting a permit to the company for an addition to its depot. ‘The as- sociation objected to an improvement which might tend to keep the depot and the railroad tracks in their present locations, MISCELLANEOUS, As stated in the Commissioner's annual re- port, the Commissioners are considering a re- Vision of the assessment law of the District. Mr. Webb is drawing up some amendments to the present tax law, omitting some of the features to which objection is made, and add- ing some provisions. The principal new feature is one contemplating a board of apy composed of three Distri of assessors as he proposes itshall be com of three men, who will be employed continu ous Maj, Raymond returned to the city thismorn- ing after a brief holiday trip. The Commis- sioncrs have a number of cases that have accu- mulated in his absence, which will now be con- sidered by the full board. The new points raised in the Solari and Johnson liquor cases will be considered. THE POLICE MATRONS, District Commissioner Wheatley, having dis- covered that provision is made in ‘the general Geficiency bill for the pay of police station matrons, the appointments will be made on the first of the month. There will be three of these matrons appointed from the long list of applicants on band. THE VISITATIONS TO THE CHRISTMAS CLUB. Commissioner Webb left the District build- ings shortly after noon to-day to visit the Christmas club dinners. Commissioner Webb is urgently invited every year and expected to be at both the East Ws and National Rifles’ urmory dinners, As they both begin at the same hour Mr. Webb has to perform a feat almost equal to that of Santa Claus in visiting the houses of good children all in one night. Mr, Webb accomplishes his task by means of fast horses. He drives first to the East Wash- ington dinner and makes ‘‘before-dinner” speec! en he stays awhile and en} e teene, “and is driven to, the: National’ Rides | novel ans armory in time to make an “after-dinner” — DARE «ie BR ‘of milling whent in goat demand. id for mill feed is constant, with only fair offerings.

Arthur St. Clair headed the local nota- bles who came out from Philadelphia to receive the passing guest. The crowd was an enormous one—greater than ever before seen in Phila~ delphia, ‘Triumphal arches spanned the streets and decorations of evergreens and flags hid the fronts of the houses. ‘The boats on the river were bedecked with the gayest colors, and everywhere there were eulogistic and patriotic Ferry was reached about bareheaded beneath one of the arches erected for the occasion Wash- ington was requested to stop. He did so, and Miss Angelica Peale placed on his brow the laurel wreath of the victor. The Alliance and Spanish frigate at anchor in the river fired salutes at Washington's approach, the bells of Christ church were rung, the populace cheered, and the scene was one which could not be for- gotten by any of those who witnessed it, At the celebrated City tavern, at 2d and Chestnut streets, a great banquet was served, and one of the newspapers of that time remarked that « extraordinary feature of the occa- sion was the YLAYING OF MUSIC BY A BAND throughout the whole of the dinner. It wasa busy evening for Washington. He received a large number of private citizens, and nearly every institution in the city presented him with a complimentary address before he left the city, which he did next morning. TheCity ‘Troop had made arrangements to escort the general as far as Trenton, but to this Washing- tou made strenuous objection because of the rain, which was then pouring down, The rain ceased, however, shortly after noon, and before 2o'clock Washington left Philadelphia, His reception at ‘Irenton was characterized by the chroniclers of those days as being magniti- | cent. A gigantic arch, covered with | suitable inscriptions, was the most prominent feature in the decorations. At the ‘Trenton end of the bridge over which Washington crossed into New Jer- sey. were 1a, large number of richly-dressed ies, and immediately in front of them were their ‘daughters, six of them with baskets of flowers in their hands. When the general a proached them the procession stopped while the ladies sang an composed for the occa- sion, and the daughters strewed the hero's pathway with the most fragrant and beautiful flowers. Dinner was eaten at Samuel Henry's City tavern, and Washington spent the night at Princeton with the Rev. Dr. John Witherspoon. ‘At 2 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon the party left for Elizabeth where he stopped at the publie-house oe n. Smith. tigre the, final stage of the 'y comme! for it was here that Washington stepped on board the eat barge which was to convey him. to New fork. ‘The barge was fine specimen of the shipbuilder’s art, and it was manned by thirteen masters of vessels. Jas, Nich- olson was com , while ‘Thomas Randall was coxfwain. In addition to Washington and his friends there were on board the members of the joint congres- sional reception committee and a number of other celebrities, |The trip to New Sork, said Mr. Bowen, was best in a letter from Elias Boudinot to his wife, and from this epistle much was quoted. ‘NEARING NEW YORK.

Morgan Lewis, with Major Van Horn and Major Morton as aids, proceeded to Federal hall. The President-elect was in a state coach, drawn by four horses. Behind him were Gen. Jay, Gen. Knox, Chancellor Livingston, and a number of other dignitaries. "The militia made a remarkably fine showing, the two companies of grenadiers attracting especial attention. One of the companies was composed of the was made up exclusively of Germans. The Federal building was crowded almost to suifo- cation long before 10 o'clock. In the Senat there was much nervousness and discussion as to how the Senate onght to act when Wasl mentary precedent was sought for in vain, aud Jobn Adams was finally left wichout imstruc- tions as to the President's reception. “Then arose another debate as to how the Senate should receive the clerk of the House of Rep- resentatives, and while the Senators were in entered the chamber, That put a stop to dis- cussion, and for one hour and ten minutes the two houses sat together. WHEN THE PRESIDENT ARRIVED he was received by the joint congressional com- mittee and by them his coming was aunounced to Congress, Just at this time Chancellor Livingston discovered that there was no Bible in the Federal building.
