Eastox, Pa., May 4—Lotta was acting in “‘Musette” at the opera house last night, when, in performing one of her amusing piros of act- ing, she fell very heavily to the stage. Theau- dience did not for the moment realize that was injured, but she left the stage and a minutes afterward her stage manager, Mr. Par- ker, announced that Lotta was in great agony from the effects of = fall, and that she o not appear again. The curtain was rung down and the audience dispersed. Inquiry Tater dis- closed that Lotta was suffering terribly from injury to her back. ees Attacked in a Barber Shop. Evansvitte, Ixp., May 4.—Prof. A. S. Layne, superintendent of public schools in this city, was seriously, if not dangerously, injured in the barber shop of St. George hotel last night by Chas. Jones, a colored barber, who sud- denly made an attack on him from behind with an open razor. Jones cut Mr. Layne very dangerously, laying bare his scalp. Jones was locked up. He was until recentiy engaged in teaching school in Posey county, but fled from there because it is alleged he knocked out an eye of a pupil whom he was chastising. — O’Brien and Harrington to Testify.

The interior of the White House looked like business The crowd of callers was larger than it has been for some time past, and the majority of the multitude made no endeavor to conceal their anxiety to get something and to get it as soon as possible, The cabinet- room, used as 3 waiting-room when the cabinet isnot in session, was filled with visitors from 10 o'clock until it was within five minutes of 1 o'clock. Some few, disgusted at their inability to see the President within 15 minutes of their arrival, got up and went out, but more than one of the impatient ones returned again when he realized that he would never see the Presi- dent if he didn’t wait. GOV. FORAKER'S EVENING CALL. A good many people looked for a large at- tendance of Ohio candidates, but they were dis- appointed. Ohio visited the President last night and talked the situation over at length. On that particular occasion Ohio was represented by Gov. Foraker. He called early in the even- ing and did his best to show the President what the duty of the administration was to the Buck- eye state, The great need of the hour out there was offices and lots of them; and es- pecially was it necessary that they be handed outas soon as possible. The governor will probably call again this evening. KANSAS ON THE QUI VIVE. Kansas evidently has its eagle eye upon some- thing first-class, pure gem, for Senators In- galls and Plumb came again to-day. They probably confided an expression of their de- sires to the President, but they did not say one word about it to any one else. They never say anything until the fight is over. If they win, then they may make a few remarks; if they lose, nobody knows but the President, them- selves, and the candidate—especially the can- didate. Representatives’ Perkins and Morrill also came to see what Kansas was going to secure, and the latter brought with him a few friends who looked as though, they might be particu- larly interested in the doings of the adminis- tration, WAITING OREGON, Senator Mitchell is still unsatisfied and was around for @ little while to see if there was something that could be given out té waiting Oregon, Ohio did not go unrepresented becanse its governor did not come. Congressmen Morey, Caldwell, and Thompson arrived early, the two latter being accompanied by “friends,” as they call the almost innumerable host of candidates which, like the poor, they have always with em, ON THE “‘sI-YOCKS” COMMISSION. Ex-Gov. Foster, jovial as ever, was another of the big men of the state who saw the Presi- dent. “I don’t know anything at all,” said he to .a Star reporter, “about the hopes, the aspira- tions, or the chances of my Ohio friends who want recognition. I do know that I am a member of the “Si-yock’s’ commission, appointed thereon, I understand, because I don’t know anything about Indians. and hadn't the slightest idea of what the commission's duty was, I really couldn't tell you whether or not the difference between fifty cents and a dol- lar and a quarter an acre will persuade the Indians to give up their land. Those abo- riginal gentlemen are pretty smart—“too late, Ben,” he broke out, “too late.” The exclama- tion was addressed to Representative Butter- worth, who, with a couple of friends, had come tosee the President, but whose arrival was after the hour for private reception, Mr. Butterworth evidently did not know that the ex-governor was in town, for he hurried the ites which have been granted Briggs and Colbert, What are my views on capital punishment? I favor it in all cases where the crime is proven beyond a doubt. PRETTY REPUBLICAN GIRLS. Forty-seven of the pretty republican girls of Chico, Col, and one pleasant-faced drummer- boy have organized themselves into a com- pany known as the Harrison Zouaves. Yesterda; afternoon their photograpls, neatly arran; ina and _richly-gilt , Were received at the ite House and placed on exhibition in Secretary Halford’s office. These forty-seven descendants of Adam's rib have become quite a bone of contention already, for the White House attaches are disputing with each other as to which of the young ladies is the more beautiful. AN INVITATION DISCUSSED. President Harrison has received at least one invitation to tear himself away from office- seekers’ and enjoy a real holiday The most enticing invite comes from ex-Sena- tor Henry G. Davis, who wants the chief exec- utive to go up into the Piedmont region to hunt and fish and accumulate adipose tissue at as early a date as possible, “If Davis gets the President up to Deer Park he'll make a democrat out of him,” said an old republican last night in the Ebbitt house lobby, “I don't see why,” replied an elderly gentle- man who looked a good deal like Col. Collier, of Tennessee. “He had Cleveland up there for quite a while, but he never made a demo- crat of him.” Workman have been busily en; day and to-day in removing th from the White House groun' SECRETARY TRACY FIRM. His Action in a Court Martial Sentence. The Secretary of the Navy has approved the sentence and findings of the court-martial in the case of Lieut. Wm. Strong, tried on board the U. 8. 8, Tallapoosa at Montevideo February 11, 1839, gaged yester- thus trees There were three charges, drunken- ness on duty, neglect of duty, disobe- dience of orders, and to these the ac- cused pleaded guilty. The court sentenced him to be suspended from duty for five years on one-half of hie duty pay, to keep his present number on the hist, and to’be publicly repre- manded by the Secretary. THE SECRETARY'S ENDORSEMENT. Secretary Tracy calls attention to the fact that another court-martial order in 1887 recited the conviction of the same officer for drunkenness, It was hoped that before the expiration of his term of suspension he would by his conduct justify the exercise of clemency shown in the remission of part of his sentence. But from the fact that within two years called upon again to _ publish his conviction, it is evident that the confidence was misplaced, and his second of- fense, committed while on duty as officer of the deck, indicates that he has become addicted to habits rendering him unworthy of the confidence which the department must repose in an officer, Lieut. Strong may well congratulate himself upon his escape from a more severe sentence, as well as upon the further opportunity of reformation afforded, but which he appears not to have merited. For a commissioned officer to allow himself ever to become intoxicated is bad enough, but tobe dtrunk on duty is intolerable. Under the circumstances a sentence of dismissal was merited. That an ofticer who has been convicted of the offence disclosed in this record should continue to be borne on the rolls of the navy is a manifest re- proach to the service, AT IVY CITY TO-DAY. A Large Attendance at the Races--The Track in Good Condition. The delightful weather to-day induced a toward him, hat in hand, and Vat) ieee up Mr. Foster's remark, he continued, quoting from Spenser's Faerie Queen: “Too late I staid, forgive the crime! Unheeded flew the hours; For noiseless falls the foot of time That only treads on flowers,” “As I was about to remark, when you inter- rupted me,” broke in the governor, ‘these In- dians are pretty smart men when you come down to dollars and cents.” “And yet there’ a great deal of truth in what Red Cloud said,” remarked Mr. Butter- worth, ‘What can my people do with muney?” Then the couple of statesmen indulged in a few jocular remarks about the appropriations for the Sioux commission, for it seems that Congress Una two separate and distinct bills, each of which appropriated $25,000 tor the ex- penses of the commission. This seemed to please the governor very much, for he said that he and Warner, the other civil member of the commission, would have all the money for their own expenses. Gen.

Kennett and Judge A. M. Warner, of Cincinnati, he general did not say what he wanted, but he asked the inquisitive reporter if he ever sawan Ohio man who didn’t want an office. The general was a schoolmate of the Pre: dent’s, and years afterward he commanded regiment in the same brigade. Judge Warner is one of the many candidates for the United States district attorneyship for the district of Ohio, THE OTHER CONGRESSIONAL CALLERS were Representatives Belknap, Caine, Holmes, Evans, and Lodge, the latter seeing only Sec- retary Halford, his business being nothing more important than the filing of a paper. Commissioner Lyman occupied about twenty minutes of the President's time after 12:30, much to the openly-expressed disgust of a large number of waiting ones. When he came out he had nothing to say, although it was evi- dent that he was overburdened with any quan- tity of first-class news, A LOCAL INVITATION, Col. W. H. Chase, seeretary of the board of regents of the National University of this city, and Dr, J. T. Winter, president of the board of the medical department of the university called to ask the President to attend the commencement exercises of the medical and dental departments on the 14th instant, at the Congregational church, ‘They also enlightened the President as to his con- nection with the institution, being the tirst to inform him that he was the chancellor, ex-officio.

A little party of traveling English people were admitted just before the President went down to the public reception. It consisted of Charles Lund, wife and two daughters, of Ilkley, and J. Arthur Binns, wife and daughter, of Bradford, They were very much pleased with their reception. Mr. N. T. Patteson and Mr. W. P.

Na- pabite PAYMASTER SMITH’S RETURN. He was Brought to His Mother’s House by a Physician. UNABLE TO ACCOUNT FOR HIS MOVEMENTS—THE STORY OF THE SEARCH FOR HIM AS TOLD BY HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW—HIS MONEY ALL SAFE. Past Assistant Paymaster Henry R. Smith, of the corvette Essex, whose disappearance in New York last week caused much anxiety to his friends, and whose case possessed such an ele- ment of mystery that considerable attention has been paid to it by the newspapers, turned up in New York yesterday. He was brought to his mother’s house, No. 344 West 14th street, New York, by a physician, Dr. W. R. Chi- chester, of No. 36 West 26th street. The state- ment of the doctor was that Paymaster Smith had come to his office last Saturday with a bad gash on his left arm and hand, and had asked permission to remain there under treat- ment, as he did not wish to alarm his mother, Afterward, under the influence of opiates he was unable to recollect names and addresses, and the physician learned who he was through an advertisement. When taken to his mother’s hogse Mr. Smith had his left arm bandaged. He was extremely pale, and his stop was feeble. He was assisted into the house, and sank into a chair speechless and soon fell asleep. He seemed to be in a stupor. His friends, as soon as they could question him, learned that he had the €1,200 he had drawn on his account as paymaster untouched, MR. FOSTER’S NARRATIVE, Mr. Chas, E. Foster, of this city, brother-in- law of Paymaster Smith, who has spent a week in New York, engaged in ine search for Mr. Smith, started home last evening, after the missing man turned up yesterday, and was at his house when a Sra reporter called this morning. Mr. Foster said that some of the sensational statements published concerning Paymaster Smith's case were without the slightest foundation. Such were the state- ments to the effect that he had attempted suicide at his mother’s house the Wednesday before his disappearance, and also that he was not on amicable terms with his wife. The facts concerning Mr. Smith's disappearance and reappearance, as stated to the reporter by Mr. Foster, are substantially as follows: LEAVING THE ESSEX. Wednesday, the 24th ult., upon the arrival of the Essex in New York, Paymaster Smith went ashore and went to his mother’s house. His mother was happy at the reunion of her son after his long absence. He was somewhat dis- appointed at not meeting his wife there. This failure to meet was due to the fact that the Es- sex was ahead of time. Paymaster Smith and Mrs. Smith sailed from China by different routes on the 8d of January and had not seen each other since their parting there. He spent the evening of Wednesday with his mother. Thursday he went back to the ship, reported, got leave to go ashore again and went off to collect a comparatively small amount of money, which he wanted to pay on account to some of the crew. He had 340,000 to his credit and drew but $1,200. That evening he was seen at the Gilsey house by a brother officer. He re- mained over night at the Gilsey house and the next morning was seen with a man whose name was given as Mr. Ferguson, and with three or four other persons, supposed to be casual ac- quaintances, TRACED TO OTHER HOTELS, This was the last known of him when Mr. Foster went to New York to direct the search. Detectives were employed, photographs were sent out and Mr. Foster himself visited many out-of-the way places, where persons insane or found sick, or who came under the care of the authorities for any reason might be taken. Mr. Foster got trace of Mr. Smith's movements after he left the Gilsey House, He learned that on Friday both Mr. Childs and Mr. Abbey, the theatrical managers, had a talk with Mr, Smith, who was an acquaintance of theirs, and both said that he was then ina perfectly sober condition. He went on their invitation to take a drink and de- clined to drink anything stronger than so water. They joked him because atter return- ing froma Jong sea-voyage he drank soda, Mr. Foster found that he spent Friday night at the Morton house and Saturday at the Normandie, at both Places registering his name. So far as he could learn he was sober in appearance when at these houses Mr. Foster lost trace of him at the Normandie, The search was con- tinued with vigor,and on several occasions it was thought that new traces had been discovered. The detectives had about given up the search yesterday, concluding that he may have been thrown in or might have fallen into the river. IN THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE. An advertisement was put into the papers in- quiring for the man Ferguson, and this appears to have brought the physician, Dr. Chichester, to Mrs, Smith’s house yesterday. It is a point of some interest that while Mr. Foster wag hav- ing New York city searched, as probably it was never searched before, Mr. Smith was ly- ing in this physician’s ofice within three squares of the place where Mr. Foster was stay- ing. When brought to the house, Mr. Smith was still under the influence of opiates, and unable to recall anything of his doings during the past nine days, ‘The physician said that he had him under his charge for several days, and that he was suffer- ing with a severe injury. When the injured man came to his oftice he refused to state his name or where he belonged. and asked to stay there, being afraid that his mother might be frightened if she knew of the accident that had befallen him. His patient becoming delirious, the physician administered opiates, HOW HE WAS INJURED. The patient explained the injury by saying that he was about to open and pass through a glass door when some one came hurriedly from the opposite direction, slamming the door against him, so that his arm passed through the glass. In withdrawing his arm instinc- tively a jawed piece of glass entered the flesh and made a deep gash. Before Mr. Foster left New York last evening Mr. Smith had not been restored toa normal state of mind, so that he could recollect and explain his movements. When asked about his money he said it was all right. The $1,200 he had drawn was found on his person untouched. He did not seem to comprehend anything that had occurred or remember that he was due on the Essex a week ago yesterday. Mr. Foster had no theory as to his conduct. He was grati- fied that he was found, and that the money he had drawn and his accounts were all right. MRS, SMITH JOINS HER HUSBAND, Paymaster Smith’s wife,who came from China by way of Yokohama and San Francisco and the Isthmus, arrived here yesterday and proceeded atonce to New York to mect her husband. The 34 of May was the date fixed for their meeting in New York, and in his wondering remarks in the doctor's house he spoke of the 3d of May and of meeting his wife. He of returning to Bis ship. physician supposed that his patient was one of the many strangers who were filling New York at that time. Upon sei vertisement referred to, however, he asked his patient if his name was not Smith, and got an affirmative reply. The physician told him then that his friends were much concerned about his disappearance, and learning from him where his mother lived, took him home. THE SUICIDE story, Mr. Foster said the story that Mr. Smith had attempted suigde at his mother’s house had no foundation further than that when at his mother’s house he had made inquiry about a relativewh> had committed suicide. In her anxious and nervous state afterward the mher had recalled this conversation, anu it had caused her additional worry. Mr. Foster said Mr. Smith never carried & pistol. So far from there being any trouble | or estrangement between Mr. Smith and his wife,Mr. Foster said that they weré on the most amicable terms, and Mr. Smith was crazy to see her. He was not well-when the ship arrived in port, having suffered for four monthe the confinement and discomforts of a naval vessel atsea, Mr. Foster said that Mr. Smith was not addicted to drink, and could take very little liquor without being made sick by it, AT THE NAVY DEPARTMENT. The Navy department has not yet been for- mally advised that Passed Assistant Paymaster Smith has been found; but an order was issued this morning relieving him from duty on the Essex and ordering him to settle his accounts. It has been found that the extent of his drafteon the government was that of €1,200, which he oing > and afew small — rs and men, aggregat al 200.

NO PENALTY FOR THE VIOLATION oF THE Law— VIEWS OF OFFICIALS AS TO THE REMEDY—wuat OFFICERS OF A COMPANY SAY—WIRES IN “ALLEYS” NOT A VIOLATION OF Law. It was stated in yesterday's Stan that Police- man Boardman arrested three employes of the Chesapeake and Potomac telephone company on complaint of Julius Emner, that they were violating the recent act of Congress relating to the telegraph and telephone service. It was further stated that when the case was taken to the Police Court it was investigated by Assist: ant Attorney Armes, who declined to take ac- tion, The law passed at the recent session of Congress on the subject of overhead wires reads as follows: “The Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbi: mit or .Y phone, electric-light or other wires to be erected or maintained on or over any of the streets or avenues of the cityof Washington.” The Commissioners are also directed to investi- gate and report to Congress the best method of removing all electric light wires from the air or surface of the streets, avenues and alleys, and the best method ‘of interring the same under ground. MR. EMXER'S LETTER TO ATTORNEY ARMES. Mr. Emner was not satisfied with the disposi- tion made of the case, and last evening he ad- dressed a letter to Assistant District Attorney Armes, in which he charges that companies operating in this District have repeatedly vio- lated the provisions of the law against overhead wires without any attempt on the part of the authorities to force them to comply. He asks an expression of opinion as to how and by whom. the law is to be enforced, whether the Coumis- sioners can grant permits for constructing overhead lines, whether it is the intention of the law to permit the erection of overhead lines anywhere im the district except across streets andavenues, and whether a violation of an act of Congress is not a misdemeanor punishable by fine or imprisonment though no specific penalty is attached by the statute. THE WORK GOES ON TO-DAY. Employes of the Chesapeake and Potomac telephone company were engaged this morning in completing the work which was interrupted yesterday by their arrest, that is the putting of a telephone into the office of Chas, J. Fanning. 921 H street northwest. The wires complained of were run from a pole in the center of the square and along the core f to the office where the telephone was locate THE OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY CLAIM that the arrest of the men was illegal, because they were stringing wires in an alley and not over streets or avenues, which alone are men- tioned in the law. AStTaR reporter was told this morning at the telephone office that there are a number of dead wires run into the center of squares, and when a telephone is needed on that square the necessary wires for connection can be put up without extending gcross a street crajeisn iSfucther slabed tictes o permit is necessary from the District Commissioners in order to run wires in the streets, the lack of a penalty in the recent act of Congress is of no consequence. If wires are put up without a permit the regulations are violated and prose- cution follows. It was further stated that the company proposes to obey the law both in letter and spirit, and that nearly all the wires in use in the central portion of the city are now underground, and that the undergroundsystem is being extended. WHAT ATTORNEY ARMES SAYS. When asked about the matter this morning find no law under which a criminal prosecution could be instituted for erecting overhead wires, The law, as printed above,provides no penalty, and its violation cannot be punished. e said that the law as passed did not mention the erection of wires over alleys, but he did not think that thespiritof the law intended that permits for the erection of wires over such places (alleys) should be issued, as the law pro- vides for their removal. He thought that tue only remedy in such a case would be found in the cifil, and uot in the criminal courts, Prosecuting Attorney Shillington, who rep- resents the District in the Police Court, when asked by a Star reporter concerning the ques- tion of erecting overhead wires, said: “There is no muni ordinance dealing with the subject of overhead wires. The only way they can be reached by prosecution on the part of the District is as obstructions; but as the ordinances were not designed to meet such cases they may not contain a remedy. The way offenders should be dealt with, and I pre- sume the District would avail itself of it, would be after due notice to the company. and their failure to comply with the law, to then cut the wires down.” i War Department Changes.

TO REMEDY A DEFECT. Captain Symons Recommends Brich Gutters Instead of Granite. Capt. Symons to-day, in » letter to Majos Raymond, calls attention to the great defect existing in asphalt pavements, namely, their liability to rot in the gutters where water collects and stands. He says to remedy this defect it has heretofore been the custom te pave the gutters with granite blocks He says that he does not think that this remedy is as perfect as it might be on account of the roughness of the Sranite blocks, which allow more fifth to ac cumulate than would be the case if the gutters were perfectly smooth. Moreover the granite block pavement is expensive. Asa remedy of the existing state of affairs Capt. Symons recommends that instead of laying these gutters of nite blocks that they be of brick on edge laid upon a concrete foundation, and with the joints poured either with hot tar or with grouting of Portland cement. He says that he makes the recommendations for the reasons that the surface of the gutter will be smooth and permit the water to flow freely and avoid accumulation of filth; that the gutter will be very much less expensive than the granite block pavement, and further, that it will present a better appearance. The Commissioners have approved his rece ommendations, and hereafter concrete paves ments will have brick gutters such as are com- mon through the towns of West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and other states, —— < ALEXANDRIA, Reported for Tre EVENING STAR. A Cuanoe or Cattp Merper.—Geot A young carpenter employed in the shops, came *here some six months Riverton with his family, his wife an Miss Gertie McIntosh, who lived with them. They resided on Alfred street, between Wilkes and Gibbon streets, on the slope of Nailor's hill.
