We poulticed it, but all to no purpose. About five months after it became s running sore. Soon other sores formed. He then had two of them on each band, and as Lis blood became more and more im- pure it took less time for them to break out, A sore came on the chin, beneath the under lip, which was very offensive.

Raid on the White ——" ‘THE CROWDS ARRIVED EARLY IN THE MORNING AND CONTINUED UNTIL CHOKED OFF BY THE PRESI- DENT—A DISTRICT DELEGATION PUTS IX AN AP- PEARANCE, The office-seekers got their second wind to-day, and a vigorous raid upon the White House was inaugurated early in the morn- ing and continued until it was choked off by the President. The crowd of visitors who would like office, but who have not applied, was also larger than it has been on any previous day this week. everybody seemed to be cheerful anda more than ordinarily large ent of those who departed wore culling viegaar ie more | wong among the first to ar- rive was Mr. Justice Harlan, who brought with him Capt. Thompson and Judge F. 8. Hill, two Kentucky friends. Senator Frye and ex-Sena- tor Ferry both had an eye ON SOMEBODY'S MAIN CHANCE, and they talked tothe President for quite s while. Representative O'Neill, of Philadelphia, had a little petition, and when that had been presented he gave way to Representative Pay- son and Governor Sherman, cf Illinois. Representative Butterworth had something to say about certain Ohio men that ‘ ‘as ‘opes,” and similar duties were discharged for some of the unsatisfied Hoosiers by Cheadle and Tom Browne. The Illinois Senators went in together, thorough believers in the doctrine of “union is strength.” Representative Houk talked to the President about Tennessee, and so did a delegation of Tennesseeans—W, W. Murray, Alvin Hawkins, Jos. R, Dillen and T. H. Baker. THE ONLY OTHER SOUTHERN DELEGATION came from Alabama, and was composed of R. W. Austin, Decatur; A W. McCullough, Hunte- ville. Dr. Hughes, Birmingham, and Judge A. A. Freeman, Powell Clayton had along and earnest con- versation with the President, and when he re- tired it was to give place to Senators Blair and Marston, who ‘wanted to see that New Hamp- shire was not forgotten in the quadrennial dis- tribution of prizes. Ex-Attorney-General Garland dropped in to pay his respects, had a pleasant brief inter- view, and departed looking just as tickled as any democrat could look. Representative Darlington introduced a few friends and then stepped aside to give Repre- sentative Mason a chance to make the President laugh a little. Kepresentatives Taylor, Heard and Gear, and ex-Kepresentatives Chalmers and Holden were also in the procession and so was Senator Hoar. Senators Stockbridge and McMillan, intent on securing for Willits the assistant secretaryship ot the Department of Agriculture, made a last appeal and were gratified with a positive promise. They were very jubilant when they came out. THE DAILY HANDSHAKING. At lo’clock the President went down stairs toconfront a crowd wf about four hundred callers, The handshaking lasted about a quarter of an hour, and then the President went back to the obscurity of the inner recesses of the mansion, A DISTRICT DELEGATION, in favor of Geo. F. Dawson for District Com- missioner, was received by the President, who listened attentively to what the members had to say in behalf of their candidate, but gave no indication as to what his action would be. The delegation included Messrs, Jno. G. Nico- lay, Seymour W. Tullock, P. J. Lockwood, Duncan Thompson, Dr. J. W. Bayne and E. B. Stocking. TOLD TO CALL AGAIN. The District had another delegation in shortly before 10 o'clock. It was composed of Harrison Dingman, John W. Corson, B. P. Snyder, G. G. Cornwell, W. 8. Thompson, Wm. Twombly and Robert I Fleming. A. A. Birney was to have been one of the crowd, but he did not come. They saw Secretary Halford and told him they wanted ‘to see the President that they might present the name of Samuel P. Brown for the valuable office of recorder of deeds, Mr, Halford informed them that they could not possibly see the Presiden: to-day, and cordially invited them to call again. They will call on Wedneseay, Representative D. B. Henderson and jolly “Joe” Khomberg brought a couple of friends along and reminded the President that there was a state west of Illinois named Iowa. HE WANTS THREE PLACES, Major Bickham, of the Dayton Journal, was one of those who was looking for something. The major is after three places; none of them, however, for himself, He seems to be principally interested in his brother-in-law, Col. Chapin, who wants to be deputy com: missioner of pensions. The two other places are in the consular service—one the con- sulate .at Jerusalem, the other the con- sul-general’s place at St. Petersburg. At Jerusalem the Major desires to place verted Hebrew, whose first name is Dem ominous cognomen—and whose last name one of his opponents says will be “mud” before the fight is over. The major candidate for St. Petersburgh is a Christianized Russian named Von Klein, a gentleman of many ac- complishments and an especially profound linguist, speaking eighteen ges correctly and fluently as a native. The journalistic element was represented. E. W. Fox, of the Washington Press, chatted for awhile with Secretary Halford; Frank Hat- ton, of the Post, was all over the place, busy as a bee, and apparently in two or three places at one time, THE LAND-OFFICE FIGHT. About 12:15 o'clock the President stopped re- ceiving although his general rule was to see people up to 1 o'clock. Secretary Noble was the cause of the temporary change, for as soon as he put in an appearance everybody else was shut out, and for fully three-quarters of an hour the chief ‘executive and the Interior department tried to reconcile _ their ifferences over the appointment of commissioner of the land office. The fight for this office is ahot one. The Sen- ators from Minnesota, Nebraska, Colo- rado, Kansas, and | Senator Higgins, of Delaware, are enthusiastic in their support of ex-Senator Chilcot, of Colorado, while arrayed a them is Secretary Noble and the Iowa delegation who want ex-Governor Stone. Neither crowd is willing to compromise, and =: to the hour of noon the resident's efforts a3 a mediator had had but little effect. Indi- ana, with her customary kindliness, came in with a candidate whose nomination, she said, would be satisfactory to every one—ex-Repre- sentative Calkins, The fight still rages, NOTES. = Mr. Russell Harrison has returned from New York. Mrs. Harrison’s cold is almost gone and the stiffness in her neck is no more. A venerable Texan, with white hair covering the gugater portion of bis rear elevation, while a silvery beard performed a similar service for hiv breast, attracted a good deal of attention at the White House to-day. He tried hard to see the President but fail Took the Oath of Office. SWORN IN BY THE VETERAN SWEARER-IN OF THE YOST-OFFICE DEPARTMENT, Mr. Whitfield, the new second-assistant post- master-general, was sworn in to-day and was then introduced to the clerks in the office by Mr. Knott, The oath was administered by Judge James Lawrenson, the veteran notary of the department, who has performed that duty without a single break since 1841, for all the appointees of the department from the Postmaster General down. Mr. Lawrenson celebrated his eighty-sixth birthday yesterday, and in October next he will comp) seventy years of service under the government. For the past nine years he has resided in Balti- more, and every day he makes the railroad journey of eighty miles and does a full day's work at his desk.

From the Boston Herald. It was all right for Mr, Justice Gray to throw the prying Washington gossips off the scent by remarking that his handsome new house was fitted up for a bachelor’s establishment, and was intended to accommodate his extensive library. The same tactics have been resorted to before. When Mr. Pickwick talked to Mrs. Bardell about warming pans and chops and tomato sauce, these were subsequently shown by Sergeant Buzfuz to be mere covers for hid- den fire. Mr. Justice Gray is thus‘ furnished with a notable precedent, and isa Vaivane Letters STOLEN From THE Maris. dispatch from Piedmont, W.

Supreme Court had decided that the Baltimore and Potomac Rail- road Co. only had the right to place tracks on the streets mentioned in their charter, and had not the right to cross any other streets— such being the case, we hardly think you can decline to order the ‘removal " of the above-mentioned tracks. That they cross other streets than mentioned in their charter cannot be denied, consequently they must follow in the wake of H street south- east track, Every day that they remain, a law of the United States is baing violated, and with the authorities perfectly hware of the fact, No. 11. Some of the additional tracks placed to the north of the main tracks on Virginia avenue are located partly upon public reserva- tion No. 17. No, 12. Switch into Portner brewing company, on Virginia avenue, south side. No. 13. Switch into Palmer's bottling com- pany, on Virginia avenue, south side. No, 14. Switch into Berger & Engel Com- pany, on Virginia avenue, south side, No, 15. Switch into Washington flour and feed company, on Virginia avenue, south side. The latter switch was issued in the name of John Miller. Loui: north side. Our conversation with Major Raymond to- day was exceedingly agreeable and en- couraging, and we hear nothing but praise for him for having determined to vote for removal of ail illegal tracks and his endorsement and recommendation for the removel of tracks on 13th street shows that we have a Commissioner who can be relied on to secure proper respect for the United States government, and he just claims of tax payers of South Washington. We find it once more necessary to call your attention to the fact that a decision be reached No. 16 switch into square —, St. Brewing company, Virginia avenue, as soon as possible. We acknowledge no reason for delay—lack of time can- not be an _ excuse, for the public well know that delegations called last summer, and at the request of the present Commission- ers written statements were submitted. In view of the character of the persons rep- resented by this petition it was but natural to look for proper consideration which as yet has not been given. You have on file in your office copies of per- mits, maps showing tracks. You have the de- cision of the United States Court, and at last a few affidavits from reputable men, we hope. With all of this data in your possession we think your honorable board will be readily converted to our cause and act accordingly. One of your honorable board, in an inter- view to-day, intimated that he wanted to, but would not be permitted to, dictate how he should act; he is laboring under a slight error; we have expressed no desire to run the District or the Commissioners, but we know our rights in the premises end will have them at any price, and relief from the illegal action of the District authorities in the railroad matter is one. From our visit to the Commissioners to-day we infer that they consider the switch belong- ing to the Bergner & Engel brewing com- any illegal. What Congress passed a law giving the brewing company the right to use public streets—to place their tracks in front of a house owned by another? It will be @ difficult task to find the law. Should the authorities conclude that they will allow a foreign company per- mission to violate law—maintain a nuisance to the injury of another, let the proper bondsmen prepare to defend a suit for damages by reason of non-compliance with District laws by District officers, Very respectfully, Cuas.

The commission merchants along Louisiana avenue and vicinity who are doing a legitimate business, have been greatly annoyed during the past few weeks by the operations of alleged swindlers, as published in Thursday’s Sran. According to letters received here, some of the operations of the swindlers extend as far as Tennessee, Ohio and Kentucky. One farmer in Ohio writes that his shipments to one of the rms has completely wrecked him financially. ‘The merchants here are endeavoring to find some means of saroring the alleged swin- dlers, and it is probable that an application will be made to the proper authorities to institute criminal paavetiege under the post- By means of sending bo; drafts it is said the ywindlors wanage’ to ‘obtain e socond car load or shipment of goods before the discovery is made by the shippers that they are —s, robbed.

Symons Thinks the Tracks Should Be in the Road Center. ‘Tue Sram has heretofore referred to the numerous complaints of Montgomery Brightwood avenue, or 7th street extended. Capt. Symons has had the matter in charge, and, as printed some time ago in Tur Star, recommended that the tracks be located in the middle of the road and that the sides of the road be macadamized. In answer to Capt, Symons’ recommendation the farmers and those interested in ob; to the placing of the tracks in the coe ori wrote the Commissioners a letter, stating at the disadvantages, in their opinion, of so placing the tracks, The matter was referred again to Capt. Symons, who yesterday on the same as follows: “In deciding upon the location of the rail- toad in Brightwood avenue, or 7th street ex- tended, there are three classes of Persons to consider. First the farmers, and [am ge who travel the road in vehicles and pase _ produce ae ae to and m the city. Secon 1 peo] ownil property along the line of the road, and thi the railroad company. If the railroad is located epee yo) ee nga is — to b e farmers, le driving along the 5 if it should be loonie on the side of the stree the experience of this office shows that it woul be vigorously protested against by the owners along that side of the road on which it is located, and would ultimately have to be re— moved, “It is, as far as I can learn, a matter of indif- ference to the railroad company whether they Jocate their track in the ‘middle of the street or on the side, but it wouldseem to me to be best to locate it in its proper and permanent posi- tion, even if in doing so some tem} incon- venience is caused to people traveling the road in vehicles. The sum of $10,000 has been m7 propriated for use on this road, and I would recommend that this money be expended in laying a macadam roadway along one side of the roadway, and on that portion of the street on which the tracks of the railroad company will be laid. This will give a good hard macadamized road on one side and in the center of the roadway for heavily laden teams, and a gravel roadway on the other side, “The gentlemen signing this letter are very much at fault in stating that it will be at least four or five years before such a road bed can be depended upon for heavy trafic. This is not so. Within a very short time after it is laid the macadam roadway will be fitted for heavy traffic. There is also this to be said, that the railroad is to be laid with a flat side-bearing rail which will, if the tracks are properly ma- cadamized and kept in good condition, be comparatively little obstruction to the use of the roadway by farmers except in those in- stances in which they are required to turn out of the way of the car. Experience shows that horses soon become accustomed to the use of cars propelled by electricity or means other than horses, andI believe that the farmers awed overrate the inconvenience which will e caused to them by this railroad running its tracks in the middle of the street.” Election of Officers.

THE NEWSBOYS’ AND CHILDREN’S AID SOCIETY COMES TO HIS RELIEF, There appeared in a late number of Tar Stan “An Account of a Breakfastless Boy,” ‘Theodore Hawkins, who, after going from one station-house to another, was finally brought before Judge Miller, who sent him to the workhouse for thirty days as a vagrant. The judge had not heard of the “‘Newsboys’ and Children’s Aid societ until their agent, Peter B. Sweeny, told him about it, who has, through the kindness of Judge Miller, secured the boy's release. He will be taken care of by the society until em- ployment can be found for him. The judge was very much pleased to hear of such a place in Washington. The rooms and office are at 517 llth street northwest. This society takes charge of homeless chil- dren when they are destitute; the society pro- vides for them, but always with the idea of making them self-supporting men and women. The reading rooms are open to the boys till 9 o'clock p.m.. The society provides the bo; with books, papers, and games to entertain them, and also with a lunch-room; the agent is always prevent. In this way it’ is sought to induce the boys to avoid the pool-rooms, ‘Miss Frevy’s New Lectrcre.—Miss Kate Field had an audience at the Grand Army hall last evening composed largely of newspaper men, st whose invitation abe delivered here } her new lecture, ‘The Intemperance of Prohibition.” Miss Field told in a bright way many amusing experiences of her own in prohibition states, and gave arguments to show that probibition was not a success, #o far as checking intemper- ance is concerned. She held that the cause of true eS would be advanced by = license—by a general uprising against the awful adulteration practiced by liquor dealers, and by the abolition of the American custom of treating. Dr. W. A. Hammond, at the con- clusion of the lecture, spoke briefly, sta his m that the moderate use of light wines, bee decidedly beneficial, as it retarded the waste of tissues. Miss Field held an informal re- ception after the lecture and refreshments were served. ——— ALEXANDRIA. Reported for Tae Evexrxe Stan.
