The council of regents of the Mount Vernon Ladies’ association began its annual session at Mount Vernon yesterday.

Ward, Kansas; Miss Harper, Mary- land; Mrs. Ball, Virginia; Mrs. Washington, West Virginia; Mrs. Barnes, District of Colum- bia; Mrs. Rathbone, Michigan.

Mrs. Sweat, the secretary of the board, has presented to the library two handsomely bound volumes of miscellaneous family letters, bills, &c., covering the correspondence, business and social life of the Washington family and its connections between 1749 and 1802. There were papers found by Messrs. L. and D. Rubens in the ruins of a building destroyed by fire in Alexandria in 1875.

One of the most striking Of his remarks was the assertion that it was not true that drunkenness was the father of pov- erty, but that poverty was the father of drunk- enuess, and to cure drunkenness you must eradicate poverty.

By August there will probably be cars running here crowded with Washingtoni- ans to take advantage of our pure and cool atmosphere. This section is now one of the most attractive in the District. Ladies on horseback from the city may be seen by the dozens at all hours of the day swiftly cantering along the hard road. There are many im- provements going on in the town. Along t road the property-holders are beautifying their homes. The old-time fences are being taken down and neat paling or picket fences put rh instead. Workmen are en; in re- modelling the property of Mr. A. J. Riley, and Mr. Wm. Britt is making extensive alterations on his residence. The neat little cottage of Mr. Geo, Burrough is about finished. Mr. Charles Hines, formerly of Washington, has built two fine houses on Brook street and will soon occupy one. Father Barry, of St. Ann's church, has made city-like improvements around the church. He has workmen busily engaged grading the grounds and laying a brick sidewalk and gutter. Two lamps have been put up in front of the lot, ————— The Close of the Orphan’s Fair. A large crowd attended the closing of the Catholic orphans’ fair last night, although the temperature was sufficiently high to keep folks out of such places, The fair has been a great success. A combination prize, consisting of two tons of coal,a china tea set, a barrel of flour, a cord of wood, anda Smyrna rug, was won by F.X. Bishop, J. M. Lloyd, L. J. Me- Hugh, Mrs. Laport and Mrs. Emma Barber, who were the fortunate holders of the winning tickets. Father Wayland won a surplice. There was an auction last night to dispose of the arti- cles left over, and to-night there will be a so- ciable given by those who carried on the fair. prmeind lwiradintnssb To Restrain Gen. Butler. Yesterday another suit growing out of the controversy over the Strong awards was en- tered—Messrs. W. A. Cook and F. T. Browning filing a bill in equity against Benj. F. Butler and Samuel Strong for an injunction. They set out aclaim on the $28,000 award to Strong prior in time and in equity to “Butler's assignment,” and state that they will suffer a great and irre- parable injury if Gen. Butler should in any manner succeed in obtaining the $28,000 award. An injunction to restrain the with- drawal of 328,000 award from the treasures of the United States is asked, and a temporary order was issued and served yesterday after- noon. —— Circuit Court Jurors Discharged. The jurors of Circuit Court, Division 2, which has been held by Judge Montgomery, were discharged to-day for the term. On this occasion a letter from the jurors and appro- priate acknowledgment from the judge took the place of the customary presentation of a floral ornament. The jurors anticipated their dis- charge, and yesterday signed and sent to the " judge” a letter’ expressing “ap- preciation of the uniform courtesy shown them,” and adding: “The juror’s ser- vice, taking him from his ‘usual busi- ness, is often a great hardship to him, but your endeavors to lighten our labors have rendered our duties less onerous, and we shall look back upon our service in your court with pleasant recollections.” In consequence of a slight indisposition, the judge did not come to court this morning, but sent a letter of acknowledgement stating that he greatly appreciates their “intelligence, earnestness, and good work, and, thanking you cordially, I'will always kindly and pleasantly remember you.” Sie dee Cases of Sunstroke. The warm weather yesterday was very severe on persons engaged in out-door work, and many of them quit in the afternoon to keep from dropping at their posts of duty. Michael O'Toole, who suffered from an attack of sun- stroke while working at 2d and F streets, as mentioned in yesterday's Sra, is still confined in Providence hospital. This morning he was much better, and it is thought that he will re- cover. About 5 o'clock pone! afternoon Charles H. Perry, an aged colored man, was found lying on the pavement near 17th and T streets. He was suffering from the effects of the heat, and was unconscious. He was removed by Offi- cer Upperman to his home, No. 1760 T street, He soon recovered consciousness, but is still — ill, e bricklayers and carpenters at work on scaffolds probably felt the effects of the exces- sive heat more than any other class of work- men, and many of them had to quit work. Several builders at work at Brooks’ station were compelled to cease work on account of the weather. No city in the world is so thoroughly covered by the circulation of a single news- paper as is the city of Washington by that of Tue Evextxe Stan. It reaches all readers in the city and vicinity. It swears to its circula- tion, No other Washington paper has yet done this. From Rockville. orrespondence of Tux EVENING STAR. RockviL.e, May 10, 1889, Anew company composed of Baltimore and Chicago capitalists has taken charge of the old Montgomery gold mines in Potomac district, and will at once reopen and operate them with first-class modern machinery. The orphans’ court has granted letters testa- mentary to Miss Mary D. Davis on the estate of the late Allen Bowie Davis. This estate is one of the most valuable in the county. Mr. R. H. Stokes has contracted with Ed- ward M. West for the erection of a residence on his lot in the park atthe eastern end of town. The structure will be a two-and-a-half- story frame, containing eight rooms, cellars, verandas, &c., and will be covered with slate. It will be handsomely finished inside and con- tain all the modern improvements. At the meeting of the trustees of the Rock- ville academy, held yesterday evening, the matter of building a new academy was consid- ered, but no definite action taken on account of the absence of some of the members of the board, Another meeting will take place on Monday, when definite action in the matter will take place. It is said that all the members of the board are in favor of the improvement, Quite a little ripple was created on the sur- face of political affairs here this morning by the declination of Hon. George Peter, presi- dent of the last Maryland senate, to allow his name to go before the democratic primary elections as a carfdidate for re-election to that body. For some months the names of Mr. Peter and Dr. Edw. Wootton have been men- tioned for the nomination, and it is now thought Mr. Howard Griffith, of Poolesville district, will be placed in the field for that position, ‘The contest promises to be a lively one.
