The Boston Dry Goods House, one of the most Prosperous firms of this city, will cele- brate ite tenth birthday tomorrow. It marks the commencement of its second de- cade by beginning the building of an addi- tion to ite already mammoth establishment which will afford fully as much more room as now exists. This addition is in the shape of an “L.” which runs back from the present building to 10th street, six stories in height ‘This will give an entrance on 10th street to re- lieve the now over-crowded doors on F street, besides affording the extra floor space which the constantly increasing custom of the house de- mands. The owner of the property, Mr. Cal- deron Carlisle, has made one improv ot after another to the building to accommodate his tenants, and this last addition is a proof of the faith which he has in the firm’s present and future success. The building will be pushed as rapidly as possible. and it is ex- bag that it will be occupied by the Ist of une, THE RECORD OF THE BosTOX HOUSE has been one of almost unexampled prosperity. Beginning ona small scale, it has developed with astonishing steadiness, going from one Store to another in order to find the greater room t was needed, until now it about doubles its capacity at one move. The pres- ent anniversary marks not only the passage of ten years of store growth, but also the end of the first year of the existence of the building association which the firm has established for the benefit of their clerks. It is not generally kaown that there is in active operation among the employes of this establishment a flourish- ing mvestment company. of which all current expenses are paid by Messrs. Woodward & Lothrop, for the purpose of saving money and the securing of homes. At the end of the year of the organization a dividend of considerable Iegpertions will probably be declared. ‘Tho celebration tomorrow will consist in the decoration of the store and the display of an unusually fine line of spring goods, both in the windows and on the counters. Each customer will presented with a souvenir shopping tables —_.___ Real Estate Matters. A. T. Goldsborough has bought for $25,000 of L. P.

Browning has bought for $6,500 of John Addison lot 2, square 1032, 195.3 feeton C Street and 198.1 on Tennessee avenue north- The South Capitol Street Bridge. ‘To the Editor of Tux Evestna Star: The members of the South Capitol Street bridge association, as well as thousands of other Sitizens of the District. were surprised to see published by some of the daily press of this city report that the Secretary of the Navy had rendered a decision adverse to the feasi- bility of constructing this bridge. Neither brauch of Cougress nor the District Commis- ioners have ever asked for the opinion of the Secretary of the Navy. Should they do so they will doubtless find tliat he is im favor of any enterprise which, like this, will add to the wealth and comfort of so many people. Both Houses of Congress referred the bill to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia and Fequested their opinion. The Commissioners in Sate reply to Congress say: ba construction of the bri roposed in the > be would unduubtedly ppp ak benefit to city.” Upon this favorable report coming in, Con- Gress, at the suggestion of the Commissioners, referred the bill to the Secretary of War. The engineer department, after « careful examine- tion of the question, made a very favorable Feport, which was approved by the Secretary of War and transmitted to Congress. The only amendment to the bill which is recommended by the Secretary of War is a change of the amount of the «ppropriation from $160,000 to $350,000. With tus alteration the report says there is no objection to the wording of the Present bill. A bill favoring the enterprise received a Bnanimous report from the Senate committee on the District of Columbia, and it passed the Senate without an opposing vote during the el days of last session. The bill went to the House, but owing to the excitement at- tending the closing hours of Congress the friends of the bill were unable to obtain a vote Upon it. Had they done so it would doubtless have received the votes of a large majority of the members of the House. Cg Tia believed that hp mfp 4 serious objection to its passage by the present Congress. A.

D.c., MONDAY, IT WAS YUST SCHLOSSER. The Mystery of the Sewer Canal Cleared Up—A Case of Suicide. ‘The dead man found in the sewer canal at the foot of 17th street Friday afternoon was yesterday identified as Yost Schlosser. The body was in the morgue almost two days before ‘uny one called to identify or claim it, and meanwhile the police had strong suspicions of foul play. The manner in which the trousers legs were fastened indicated that that operation had been done after death, as it is an unusual thing for a suicide todo, The identification was made by William H. Schlosser and Henry Schlosser, nephews of the deceased. Yost Schlosser, who was always known as George Schlosser, had been employed for a number of years as hostler in the stables of the Washington and Georgetown railroad company, He was an eccentric man, but recently he seemed to have lost control of his mind and frequently talked of committmg suicide. Nearly three weeks ago he left the honse, bid: ding all his relatives good-bye and saying that they would never see him again. The coroner's | jury yesterday was satisfied from the evidence that the deceased committed suicide and ren- dered @ verdict to that effect, —____ A UNIVERSITY CLUB. The Movement Well Advanced at the Meeting Saturday Night. A large and enthusiastic meetigg of college graduates was held Saturday evening at the residence of Mr. W. D. Cabell, 1407 Massachu- setts avenue, for the purpose of discussing the organization of a university club in this city. ‘The call for a meeting had been made but a short time before and was not very generally known about, so the presence of more than fifty prominent gentlemen,representing twenty- two different colleges, showed how great was the interest aroused in the matter. The origi- fal idea of the meeting was simply to talk over the project and decide whether it was worth while to proceed further, but so much enthu- siasm was shown by those in attendance and so Many encouraging letters were read from others not present but promising their support to any action that mignt be taken that by the time of adjourment the oganization of the club ‘was practically assured. Mr. J. H. Voorhees, president of the Prince- ton alumni association, was chosen chairman of the meeting and Mr, W. D. Cabell and Mr. Victor Kauffmann, secretaries, THE PLANS OF THE CLUB. Mr. Voorhees briefly discussed the beginning of the idea of such a club and stated the objects ofthe club and the ground it should cover. It is intended to intrude upon the territory of no other organization, but will be purely a university club, to which only college graduates will be eligible to membership, It is to be organized upon the same foundation: imilar clubs in other large cities, although, of course, not on such an elaborate scale at first. It is the plan to obtain a building suitable for the general purposes of such an organization and with certain rooms devoted to the meetings of the various alumni associations of the District and to their annual banquets. It will furnish a general meeting place for graduates resident here or visiting in the city and is intended to bind them closer together im their common feelings and interests. COLLEGES REPRESENTED.

Remarks in support of the proposed club were made by Mr. W. D. Cabell, Prof. W. T. Harris, U.S. commissioner of education; Mr. J. Or- mond Wilson, Dr. L. M. Blackford, principal of the Episcopal high school, Alexandria, and others. At the invitation of Mr. Cabell the meeting adjourned to the rear drawing room, where refreshments were served, ‘he com- mittee on organization afterward held a short session, in which they got fairly in working or- der. Attheir next meeting they will hear the report of the subcommittee on constitution and by-laws, consisting of Messrs. Stewart, Web- ster, Russell, Wilson. Voorhees, Cabell and Flat. Another meeting of all graduates inter- ested in the matter will be called in a short time by the chairman, Mr. Voorhees, to hear the reports of the committecs and to complete the organization. ee Coxreperate Vetexaxs’ Reunion at Lees- bono.

The Flag That First Floated From the ~ Top of the Monument. ‘Twenty-eight years ago on Saturday the stars and stripes tigated for the first time from the Washington monument. It was not as much of ® monument then as it is now, but it was never- theless a good deal of a shaft. Lots of old sol- diers who were then engaged in guarding the national capital will remember the incident. The man who hoisted the flag ishere. He is Capt. Albert C. Widdicombe, now of Missouri and lately chairman of the Missouri republican state central committee. In April, 1861, he was a civilian and thought there ought to be a flag on the monument. He started a popular subscription, Mayor J. G. Berret heading the list, aud with the results purchased an immense flag—something like 50 by 30 feetin size. A suitable flagstaff was made in Baltimore and everything was ready by July 4, 1861. Mr. Wid- dicombe, however, was sick when the glorious Fourth arrived. so the ceremot sepepoet until February 22, 1862. On that iy the na tional colors were exalted, and by order of the Secretary of War all the soldiers in the city and on the Virginia shore saluted it with cheers and gunpowder, Fully 100,000 men fired at least one cartridge each, “The flag stayed up a long time,” said Capt.
