To the Editor of Tae Evesixo Stan: Somebody has “been and gone” and stretched a telegraph wire clear across Scott circle. The long loop of wire hangs low; so low, in fact, that it seems from one point of view almost to touch the head of Gen. Scott. The old hero, as he bestrides his full-blooded horse, might be supposed to have just come handsomely under the wire at a race-track. The fine effect of a good-sized wire ‘fooling around” an equestrian statue can now be studied to advantage in one of the most fashionable lo- calities in Washington. Isuppose the other works of art about town will soon be treated to a like improvement. Franklin ought to have a | net-work rigged about his head, and Professor Henry, too. And while the wire-fiends are about it, why | not hitch fire-alarm boxes to the pedestals of | these statues? Such appendages would be con- spicuously useful in these positions.

The dead thus commemorated were W. F. Reynolds, W. P. Andrews, M. D. Montis, Walter M. Lawrence, F. B. Landis, Otis P. G. Clarke, Charles Case, I. M. Reynolds, 8. P. Haverfield, James M. King. Wm. H. King and | Isaac Thornton. An address was delivered by Major J. W. Powell. ——__— Dangerous Sports for Boys. The dangerous toy pistol has appeared in large numbers in the hands of small boys in this city during the past few days. Thus far no reported, but the police fear that other weap- ons of a more deadly character will be called into requisition. In some sections of the city | large crowds of boys travel together and poke | their toy pistols in the faces of passers-by. The | next step is thata boy will get hold of his father’s pistol, and then there will bea tragedy, In Webb's digest 1s a law against the selling | of fire-arms and explosives to chiléren. It reads as follows: ‘It shall not be lawful for any | person or persons to sell to any children un the age of sixteen yeurs, or to negroes or mu- | lattoes, fire-arms, gunpowder, gun caps, or | other explosive substances, in any quantity or | quantities, under a penalty of 25 for each of- | to be collected and applied as other fines g ident resulting from this cause has been | THE BYRON HOMICIDE. Halliday Gives His Version of the Fatal Affray. Yesterday, in the Criminal Conrt, Judge Bradley, the trial of Wm. Halliday for man- slaughter in causing the death of Geo. Byron, February 5 last, by cutting him with a knife, was continued, For the defendant John C. Conway, barber, testified to cutting Halliday’s hair on February 6. There was, he said, a scratch on his nose. some cuts on the cheek and his head was full of blood. Nettie Halliday identified the hat and coat of the prisoner, and said she saw the coat the day after the tragedy with the bloody cuffs, and that his head was matted with blood. She also identified a pillow slip stained with blood taken from the defendant's bed. The defendant. Wm. A. Halliday, testified that he had known the deceased for eight years. He had seen him Saturday, Sunday and’ Mon- day. Deceased slept in his shop on Mon- day night, and defendant gave him his break- fastin the morning. He borrowed the knife from deceased on Monday. The defendant told of their going to the Blood Field with Buson on Tuesday and then getting a large quantity of liquor and drinking with Mooney and Osborne. Upon returning home Byron became quarrel- some, knocked defendant down and was beat- ing him with “knuckles” he bad on, when wit- ness got out his knife and struck with it. The THE VALKYRIE WINS EASILY. A Race in a Light Wind with the Irex and Yarana. The cutter Valkyrie yesterday competed in a race against the Irex and Yarana, The pro- posed course was from Gravesend around the ‘Mouse lightship and back. Owing to the ab- sence of wind; however, they only went to the Nore and back. The finish was a drifting match, The Valkyrie won easily. The race proved an infinitely better test of the Val- kyrie than Wednesday's race, which was vir- tually over the same course. The Valkyrie made an excellent start in a light east wind. The Yarana was close at hand for some time, but in short tacking on the Kent shore the Valkyrie met the Yarana on the starboard tack, and the latter took the tide- she increased and maintained during the ran home, until calmed at the top of Seareach. Finally a light southwestern breeze took the leader to the finish, The Irex abandoned the race at the Nore. The Vaikyrie’s performance was greeted with hearty cheers by the spectators on the committee boat, who expressed great confi- in her future. —"————eee—_____ Virginia Municipal Elections. The election in Portsmouth yesterday for city officers and city councilmen resulted in a democratic victory, all the ticket except three witness said he did not know he had cut Byron until some one told him of it the next day. Byron, he said. threatened to kill him while he was beating him, THE CASE GIVEN TO THE JURY. The case was argued briefly, and the jury retired about 11:30 o'clock. Beggars in Center Market. Persons who attend the center market have been so much worried by the large number of beggars who infest it that the market company have determined to put a stop to the annoyance of their patrons. There are several old per- sons, apparently blind, who are led through the market by boys or girls. Among them isa woman who is conducted by a pretty young girl. The woman, who appears to be blind, collects money from charitable persons and, instead of spending it for food and raiment, squanders it for whisky, and has been seen a number of times walk out of the market and into a saloon in the neighborhood.

A Cincinnati dispatch says: “For some days a gentleman, who is said to be an agent of the British government, has been searching for John Levick. He was found Wednesday at the American hotel, a cheap hostlery, at 108 Central avenue, where he is working as a waiter for #2.50 a week. Mr. Levick, who was a sergeant in her majesty’s army when he left it, was born at Sheffield, England, March 8, 1836, and enlisted in the eighth royal Irsh hussars, Nottingham barracks, February 15, 1553. He was sodn ordered to Turkey, where hisregiment was reviewed by Osman Pasha. He served all through the Crimean, war aud was in the battles of Balaklava, Inkerman and at the siege of Sebastopol. He was one of the famous 600 who “assaulted the jaws of death.” His description of the charge is thrilling and vivid. “Sergeant Levick has an oil pamting which he took from a house in Sebastopol. He also | has a Turkish-English medal commemorative of the war. The medal has four clasps. each representing one of the four great battles of the war. Levick came to Ameri s has a wife and family, well provided for, in Cleveland, but has nothing to do with them. He only got out of a hospital in Indianapolis a few week 0, Where he was ill six months. He has the orders promoting him to an or- | derly for gallantry at Balaklava, and later on promoting him to the rank of sergeant. He | exhibits scores of letters asking for his auto- graph and picture. Itis understood that the | British government will make some substantial return to any survivors of that famous charge it can find.” lee Formed in Ohio.

The inquest in the case of Mind Reader Bishop was begun in New York yesterday af- ternoon. Clay M. Greene, the dramatist, testi- fied that he had seen Bishop in cataleptic fits before the one which caused his death, The fact was brought.out by witness that Dr. Irwin refused tu call in Dr. Robertson, Bishop's regu- lar physician, on the ground that he was not friendly with Robertson. Witness further tes- titied that Bishop's muscles were notrigid when the electric shock was applied, The shock was 80 severe as to twist the body around. John G, Ritchie, tne theatrical manager, testitied that he had often seen Bishop in trances that differed in no respect from the final one. A deputation from various Irish municipal bodies yesterday presented to Mr. Parnell an address congratulating him upon his success in disproving before the commission the many calumnies that had been heaped upon him. Mr. Parnell said he had never doubted that the falsity of the forged letters would ultimately be shown. He would rather have gone to his grave with the stigma of the letters upon him than have submitted his country to the humil- iating ordeal which it was proposed to place upon itasan accompaniment of the inquiry into the authenticity of the letters.
