Mr. Black- well’s subject was “Woman suffrage a growth of civilization.” Rev. Annie H, Shaw of Tlinois made an ap- eal for money to carry on the work in South Yakota.

A. Peacock, R. 8. Fergu- son, James Hoimes, Mark Hawkins and Everett Wroe were members of the coroner’s jury that viewed the mangled remains of Winfield Sutherland, which lay on the dissecting table at the morgue this agternoon, The deceased was killed yesterday afternoon by the explosion of a boiler at the green houses of Strauss & Co., on the Bladensburg road near Mt. Olivet cemetery. The dead man was about thirty-five years old and had no family. He was in the boiler room yesterday after- noon and the engineer, George Pollard, was standing outside near the door. There was no noise made to warn any one of the danger before the bojler exploded. Sutherland was standing in front of the boiler when the explosion occurred, and he never knew what struck him. A heavy piece of iron from the front of the boiler struck him in the chest and made a cut through to the backbone, One and an arm were broken and hia body was otherwise badly mutilated. The escaping steam cooked the flesb on his body, but his face was not at all disfigured. The large roof of the boiler room was lifted high in the air and directly over the boilera hole was made through it. The force of the explosion was 80 great that persons about the neighborhood thought it was an earthquake. The noise attracted many to the seene and the dead body was removed to the morgue as soon as possible. The boiler that exploded was a new one. The coroner's jury will endeavor to ascertain the cause of the explosion. — The City Post Office Tomorrow. ‘The several divisions and branch stations of the Washington city post office will be kept open for the tranaction of business for the pub- lic on the 220 of February (Washington's birth- day) until noon.
