At ameeting of the inaugural executive com- mittee Saturday night it was decided to keep closed the upper gallery of the Pension build- ing during the progress of the ball, and ex- clude the public, on account of the danger from the narrow pathway and low railing. Chairman Wine, of the committee on street decorations, says that he has filed his bond for $10,000 for the eafe return of all flags loaned by the department for decorative purposes. AT THE DEPOTS.

BR, IN THE PARADE. Commander Odell, of the Department of the Potomac, Grand Army of the Republic, has is- sued the following order: “The de; ent will ipate in the inau- gural on March 4 The commander-in- chief has accorded to us the honor of a posi- tion on the right of his division. It will be a credit to our department and a great gratifica- tion to the commander-in-chief that our ranks be full on that day, and that each comrade car- ries the cane and flag. Comrades are most earnestly requested to make this duty para- mount to all others. and see to it, each one for himself, that he isin line. Post commanders should at once ascertain and report to these headquarters the number of canes and flags that will be required by their respective posts. They should also take pains to have all com- rades notified of the contents of this order. Comrades are requested to appear in uniform, and post commanders should insist that each man wear the G. A. R. badge. It is suggested that each post commander issue an order call- ing out the full strength of his post on this oc- casion. This is a grand opportunity for our order to show its stre: and importance in the capital of the country, and do honor to the President-elect, who is our comrade.” THE CITY TROOP'S ACTION. The Philadelphia Press says: The decision of the City troop not to attend the inaugural ceremonies at Washington has created a con- siderable stir among the various armories and the militiamen. Gen. Townsend said: _‘‘I think the troop did & very wise thing in re! to go. If they went it would at least cost each man $20, be- sides incidental expenses. Their horses would have to be transported, and as they would have to go very different from the rest of the geard, it was the best thing they could have lone.” Capt. Schellinger, of company C, State Fen- cibles, said: “Ihave no opinion to express, but, as the City troop have acted as the escort for most of the Presidents, they should re- member that Gen. Harrison has an escort which is more dear to him than they are—men who have fought under him and whose love is known. They have been tried by experience. I think the troop should obey the orders, Most of the national guard are going, and they La as much right to be in ranks a8 we ve,” Lieut. Heath, compan; said: “I think they my ee have gone. They are like a spoiled child, They ought to be compelled to go with the rest.” Geo. Comly, of the first regiment, said: “I think their action is not warranted and it should not be tolerated. They should be com- ed to go, whether they act as an escort to e President or march in the first brigade.” Capt. E. E. arg ig tng of the State Fencibles, said: ‘I think they act ina ve foolish manner, They ought to be compel to participate.” F, first regiment, ROPING THE AVENUE, The Commissioners have completed the gen- eral arrangements for roping in Pennsylvania avenue forthe inaugural parade.

The permit in ques- tion is what is known as the “revocable kind;” that is if it is found injurious to the abuttin; or public interests it can be remove: wit ten days, The point'raised by Mr. Parker was that this switch should have been removed some time ago, as he wrote a letter to the Commissi: on the 18th instant, which now rests untouched on —— Riddle’s desk, petitioning that it be removed, and further that before such a permit to violate laws should be given the should have a chance to object Commissioner Lye decor happening in at that time said he did not think that the property- owners should be given a chance to object, as they (the Commissioners) looked out for their interests. Then followed a lively tilt between Major Raymond and Mr. Dwyer, in which sev- strong epithets were used. Mr. Dwyer said he thought the matter was between itr, Wheatley and himself; that he didn’t expect any favors from Major Raymond, and the latter retorted as he disappeared, “Yon won't get any.” Discussion ran high, and Mr. Dwyer ended by saying that it was a shame that railroad companies could get a permit to break the laws in one day, while a citizen had to wait many days before he received any reply toa com- munication protesting against an open viola- tion of the law. “Truly,” he added, “the Dis- trict buildings need regenerating.” coon _ totale DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

Ada Cross, a small colored girl, testi- fied to stealing the watch and selling it to her sister, who lives with George, for fifty cents, Betty Cross, a colored girl of sixteen or seven- teen years, testified to buying the watch and giving it to George.

Four distinct little gurgles of rippling mirth in as many different feminine keys announced to the urbane stamp dispenser at the post-office yesterday afternoon that a quartette of pretty girls had finally succeeded in edging their way through the crowd and claimed his attention. ‘True, only one of them had business with Uncle Sam’s representative, but she could not possi- bly think of facing the stamp clerk alone, and answered the protests of her companions with & gesture of her pretty head that commanded humble obedience. ‘So they struggled and giggled until they reached the window. Here they formed a semi-circle around the posthole, ——_ which two-penny paper wafers are shoved to the ever-hurrying public, and the leader addressed the clerk: “I want to register something,” said the sweet little fem: through her black dotted veil, putting her mouth as near as possible to the hole in the glass, and assuming an air of business that didn't fit her as well as the neat little sealskin jacket that encircled her waist. “What do you wish to register, miss?” said the clerk, counting thirteen men that were wait- ing to get about $400 worth of stamps, and who had arrived while the girls were arranging the barricade around the window. “Is it a canary bird, a hat-rack, a cellar door, or a contagious disease?” was probably what the clerk would have said to anybody but a pretty: girl. “O,I forgot. I'm sostupid, ain’tI, girls?” The response was three Biggles, which meant the oung girl's companions thought so, too.

Then he was going to settle the bill, which was fifteen cents. He was unable to pay for the plate, be- cause he only had twenty cents with him.

He could not tell how many shots were fired, nor did he remember calling Stogle a bad name. STOGLE’S STORY. Stogle, when asked by a Srar reporter con- cerning the affair, made no attempt to deny that he fired the shots, but he only remembered having fired two. He said that he waited on Henson like a gentleman and gave him every- thing he ordered. He had some words with Henson about paying for the plate and the lat- ter called him a “——of a " He told Henson that he was mistaken; that he should not reflect om the good name of bis mother.

The British steamship Lake Huron, which arrived at Boston Saturday morning, brought over with her quite a romance. No sooner had she reached her dock than the British consul at Boston, Charles G. Henderson, accompanied by Superintendent Cornish, of the Pinkerton agency, and several other detectives, jumped on board und demanded to see the passenger list. ‘They said they were after a runaway couple, and upon describing them were in- formed by the captain that two second-class Passengers, who were booked as Mr. and Mrs. O'Neill, answered the description. The consul then informed the ship's officer that he had a cable dispatch from Liverpool, asking him to detain a young woman who had eloped with her father's room. He declined to give her family name, ut acknowledged that she was of good family, being the daughter of an Irish baronet, wh held a commission of colonel in her majesty's forces. A Boston special to the Philadelphia Times says: “The girl said she was oves age, and refused emphatically the offer of the con- sul to leave her lover. She is a brilliant bru- nett, with classical face and charming figure, aged not over twenty-two, while her lover is a heavy, square-built, coarse-looking man, aged over forty, with hair —— Frey The ob- streperous damsel was ple: ith until 9 a, m., when she left the ship arm in arm with her Lothario, bound, they say, to find a minister to wedthem. Up tothe time of closing of the city registrar's office they had not procured a license, which is essential for marriage in this state, and so the conjecture to-night is that they are not yet legally wedded.
