In the evening the delegates to the conven- tion were tendered a very pleasant ‘formal reception by the members of Carroll Insti- tute at th hot on F strect. There were lemonade and cigars for the visitors, who were invited to make themselves perfectly at home. Billiardsand other amusements were indulged in and the evening was spent in pleasant reunions and conversation. Old friendships were ro- newed and new ones made, and the reception was voted a compicte success, HOSTS OF THE USION. The reception last evening as well as all the preparations for the entertainments provided for the delegates have been in the hands of a committee of entertainment, of which Maj. Mallet is the able and efficient chairman. No one haa worked harder for the convention than he, and noone deserves more credit for the success that the sessions of the union have achieved. Maj. Mallet wos one of the organizers of Carroll Institute and its resident for two terms. He is chief of the state and territorial grants division in the general land office and is known as a historical writer. He was adjutant of the cighty-fire New York olunteer infantry and was twice breveted for gailant services in bat- tle, At Cold Harbor. Va., he was shot through the body and left on the ficld for dead. He was first president of the chNational League, United States section. He is at present librarian of the inatitute, a position for which his literary attainments em- imently fit him, THE CARROLL INSTITUTE. Theentire arrangements for holding the convention in this city and for the reception of the delogates, entailing an immense amount of work, were in charge of a committee appointed by the Carroll Institute. In one sense that weil-known organization is the host of the con- vention at the present session, having invited the union to meet here, although the delegates are welcomed to the ‘city by all Catholics, whether members of Carroll Institute or not. It is a coincidence that 1s worthy of mention that in the same hail where the convention is hold- +] ing its session the preliminary steps were taken toward the organization of Carroll Institute. "Thue wae seventeen years ago and that period has been one of almost unchecked prosperity to the institute, so that today itgoccupies a com- manding position among similar crganizations in this city. The institute owned ihe property it occupied until recently, when a aale was prostes, paris larger, better building was pur- chased on E street between 6th and 7th streets. ‘The presidents of the institute since its organ- izatiomhave been as follows: Daniel McMahon, Maj. A. J. Dallas, Dr. Benedict Thompson, John Bingham, Ralph Jefferson, J. Howard Bushneil, John T. Fallon, D. L Murphy, Lieut. E. W. Sturdy, Ed J. Hannan, Maj. Edmond PRESIDENT MURPHY. The president of the institute is Mr. D. L Murphy, who made an eloquent address of we!- come to the delegates at the opening session of the convention. Mr. Murphy is one of the best known and most ular young men in the city. "He was chief clerk of the Pension Black's administration as commissioner of pen- sions, and has been « valued member of the institute ever since its organization, having ™® D. % Munpny, been ite first secretary. He was also president in 1882. A ready writer and an entertaining speaker, Mr. Murphy is # popular member of society. THE COMMITTE OF ARRANGEMENTS, In order that every provision should be made for the reception and entertainment of the members of the union. early in the sum- mer a committee of twenty-five representative members was appointed by the institute to make the arrangements, ‘The committee is as follows: H. W. Sohon, chairman; N. T. Taylor, secre- tary; N. H. Shea, treasurer; Geo. Bogus, F. B. Clarkson, B. J. Coyle, W. H. De Lacy, F. N. De- vereux, W. F. Downey, C. A. Elliot, G. I. Ennis, E. J. Hannan, W. A. Johnson, M. B. Johnston, M. L Weller, W. H. Lepley, D. W. Magrath, Ed- mond Mallet, W. H. Manogue, F, P. May, Pat’k O'Farrell, T. J. Sullivan, Ja, Toomey, Edward Voigt, R. E. White. The chairman, Henry W. Sohon, is a native of California, a graduate ot the Georgetown Law School and a practicing lawyer. He was presi- dent of the institute in 1888 and 1889, and has frequently represented itasa delegate abroad. He has been connected with the institute from his boyhood, and be has performed the respon- sible duties attached to his present position with a tact, energy and ability that vindicates the wis- HEXRY W. souoy, dom of hisseiection. Mr. Nathaniel T. Tay- = lor, the efficient secre- tary of the committee, comes of & well-known Detroit family and is in the of the Treas- | of the large wholesale grocers here, and as a member of the South Washington Aveociation he done yeoman service for his native city.

Although a native of Baltimore Mr. Hannan has become so identified with the business interests of Washington that he is usually considered ‘to the manor born.” Of course in the division of the work among the subcommittees the press was not forgotten anda subcommittee was appointed to look after the newspapers.

Early in the day a tox was started and after a chase of several hours he was run in. Late in the afternoon a large red fox was bounced in the neighborhood of Clopper’s mill and carried in the direction of the Potomac, a distance of several miles, The dogs were followed by the eager huntsmen until night came on, when the chase was abandoned. THE REGISTERS IN SESSION. The October sittings of the registers of voters commenced here yesterday and will continue four days. Yesterday in this district eleven names were added to the list and five stricken off. One that had previously been stricken off was reinstated. Today ten uames were regis- tered as transferred from other districts and five were transferred from this district. Five s new names were registered, Yesterday even- in young man named Wm. Braddock, a nat 4 form ident of this county, but tor some time a ident of Washington, was registered at Gaithersburg, and this morning Mr. 8. G. Lloyd of that piace appeared here on asearch for evidence that Braddock was not entitled to register. While here he procured affidavits from Messrs, Frank Higgins and Frank Monday that Braddock had not been a resident of the county for several ycars, and with this evidence will endeavor to have the name stricken off the rolls. 8.A.M. ———___ The Last Record of the Session. The last number of the Congressional Record has been issued under date of yesterday. It contains the closing tariff speeches of Senators Aldrich and Carlisle and a number of other oratorical efforts on various lines of statesman- ship. Representative Wheeler had some of his ideas on river and harbor appropriation put into two maps, and these give a magazine sort of finish to the publication. The humor- ous feature is supplied by the epecch which Private John Allen made on the day of ad- journment; this was withheld for revision and the word “laughter” has boen inserted in sev- eral places. ‘hose who do not care to read litical speeches may solace themselves with the alphabetical fist of Senators and Representa- tives, the conformation of committees or the Washington city guide, which occupies the last page.

George Washington, Gunston Marshall and others of colonial days appreciated and ad- mired the grandeur and beauties 2f the Poto- mae river, aud upon its banks they erected their mansions, lived in health, ease and com- fort, and their plantations were the finest in the land, But in those days neglect and decay have forestalled thrift and energy. and the beautiful sonzs written by patriotic pocts are not sung as often as in the days gone by. The causes of this, in my opinion, is that enterprise and capital have drifted to the large cities, and in this way the beauties and healthfulness of | the grand old Potomac river south of our tional capital have been neglected for a time We have some of the finest spo in the worid for homes. ‘The country bordering on the Po- tomac is largely devoted to agriculture, fish, oysters, ke, The soil is easily improved and well udapted to all kinds of crops, for fruits, vegetables, hay and stock raising. ‘The climate is mild and healthy--temperate in winter and pleasant {n summer—and offers unusual in- ducemonts to emigrants in its favorable cli- cheap lands, nearness to navigable good soil, eusy of access to markets, *, schools, &c, Tho country needs ts to till the soil and to start miils, fac- tories and shops. NO MORE FEVER AND AGUR. Forty years ago I left my home in Maine and located near Glymont, Md. Since that time I have not had a day's sickness, and all my im- mediate family have enjoyed the best of health. Before the war there was considerable fever and ague and malaria along the banks of the Potomac, but that hasall now disappeared, and such a thing as fever andague a beer is unknown upon the shores of the Potomac river. Perhaps the emoke from the steam and tug boats ou the river and alxo from the steam cars running near its banks have destroyed the malaria and fever and ague germ, so that the above-named diseases are a thing of the past. 8. secs ANACOSTIA, mate Tar Youxa Women’s Temperance Uxtox.— The Young Women’s Christian Temperance Union met last night with Miss Josie Le: home on Shannon Place.

On Thursday last one of the steerage passen;ers, a Swede, jumped overboard and was drowned, although tho steamer was stopped, boats lowered and every effort possible waa made to save him. On Sunday ancther passenger, this time a Jew named Jacob Solomon, aged forty-five, hanged himself in his state room, He was accompa- nied on the vessel by his wife and five children. When the saloon passengers learned of the suicide they made upa purse of £112, which was presented to the widow. Tho body was buried at sea, The Majestic, which carried home the mother of the murdered Benwell, coilided with another vessel in New York bay on beginning its passage. Madamo Patti intends to utilize her now thoater at all times in order to entertaim the friends who may be staying with her at the cas- tle of Craig-y-Nos. There was a performance last Thursday mght, which commenced with an overture by the Swansea musicians, ‘This was followed by the well-known farce, “Turn Him Out,” and after that came several tableaux, in ten of which Madame Patti herself appeared and changed her costume for each.
