Evans, the leading King street batter many years ago, has now been finally concluded. ‘Mr. Evans left an estate of sev hundred thousand dollars and died without a will. His estate was apportioned among his children, one part, that of John T. Evans, jr., being kept for several years in order to ascertain his whereabouts, for he had gone to the northwest in search of ‘furs and never returned. After- ward an impostor attempted to ate the missing Evans, but was ex and got no eof the estate. There was also some liti- gation with the Evans widow of Georgetown, vat that, too, was concluded and the estate will soon be out of court. CORPORATION COURT. ‘The corporation court, Judge Norton, is still in session. The grand jury has returned as true bills indictments against Mrs. Mary Smith and E. Suddrich, white, and William Fountain, colored, for selling liquor on Sunday, and Edw. Green, colored, for violating the gaming law by carrying on policy. ‘On the civil sidé the case of Watkins vs. Evans was completed, the court confirming Commissioner Beech’s report. In Lowagt. Gray time was fixed for taking testimony. NOTES. Some opposition has been excited to the bill introduced in the city council at its last meet- ing proposing to require a permit and fee be- fore any repairs can be made to real estate and it in said that if anything should be left free in Alexandria it is the right to repair buildings. —The Royal Arcanum has taken a new start here from a very interesting meeting and ban- quet on Tuesday night. —_—_—_—_ GEORGETOWN.

The oc- cupants, a gentleman and three little children, barely escaped being killed in the collision with an iron hitching post, but one of the children received any injuries—sustaining a cut upon the face. CAUSES OF DIPHTHERIA. It is believed by many that the prevalence of diphtheria and scarlet fever is due to the ac- cumulation of garbage and foul smelling sew- ers.

The occa- sion meant for her a formal de event was surrounded by the haj ‘The Senator's new homo into which the family only moved last spring was planned with every regurd for comfort as well as modern elegance and taste. It opens up well and as large as tho’ yesterday no part of the lower crowded. Upstairs one large oom was reserved for dancing, and the highly polished floor was scarcely ever unadorned by fair maidens and their partners. Mrs. Kenna received in the front drawing room, and her own was of white brocade and point lace. The fair young debutante was in white China wilk. the border of which had a prettily fash- ioned girdle of gold galloon. There was garni- ture on the waist of lilies of the valley and mignonette.

Yesterday the Secretary tind Mire Windom recalled all acceptances they had made for different entertainments occur- ring this week. The illness of Secretary Proctor’s young son, whose health has been for several years quite recurious, prevented his mother yesterday from seeing her callers.

On the two leaves of the screen are stretched gold tapes where photographs are prettily arranged and in positions where they can be most conveniently studied.

Church, Indianapolis. — THAT WHITE HOUSE ALARM, Further Investigation Shows That the Fire Alarm Wires Were Responsible. ‘There has been as thorough an investigation as possible made of the electric light wires and fire alarm wires running through the White House, for the purposo of discovering the cause of the false alarm which rang Tuesday night and produced an excite- ment around the Executive Mansion just before the reception. The statement‘ that has been made to the effect that the electric light wires were at the bottom of the trouble is quite erroneous. An examination of these wires shows that they are not only in perfect condition, but that it would be imy le for them to come in contact with the fire alarm wires at any point. ELECTRIC WIRING HEAVILY INSULATED. This electric wiring is heavily insulated with rubber and is encased in wooden molding. It does not come in contact with any metal what- ever and is widely removed from the bell wires and fire alarm wires. ‘The fire alarm wires and the bell wires, how- ever, ‘are “bunched” and bundled in many places. They are covered with the kind of in- sulation eas: employed in such service, which isa mi lower grade than is used on the light wires. ‘These fire alarm wires ran along the walls and through the air duct without any separa- tion save their own light insulation. “In addi- tion to the regular fire alarm connection there is a cireuit which rings the “disturbance bell” near the frout entrance. ‘The purpose of this “disturbance” circuit is to announce any short cirenit which may occur on the wires in the house. As thin disturbance bell has rung a number of times during the night, before any electric light wires were ever run in the building, it appears that accidental chort circuits have occurred in the fire alarm cir- cuit, and that the same cause might be repeated is plain. RIGHT VOLTS WILL OPERATE THE ALARM CIRCUIT. Eight volte is all that is necessary to operate the fire alarm circuit, and very small wires will carry the current, whereas were the current of the electric light turned into these little wii making a short circuit, the heat generated would be enough to not only melt them, but to vaporize thei at that point. But no such evi- deuce can be found. Indeed, after the most critical examination no evidence whatever can be found to show that the electric light wires had anything to do with the alarm. ‘THE FIRE ALARM WIRES DID IT. clothes. shop window.

Butterworth Presents a New Plan for | Views of Both Pathusiasts and Conserva. tives om Yesterday's Action. The brilliant victory of the silver forces im the Senate last night was all the talk at the Capitol this morning. It was recognized ant- versally asian event of the most positive im- portance, pregnant with political significance, ‘and destined to exercise a permanent and far: reaching influence. The passage of the original Stewart free coim- age amendment had been conceded as a fore: gone conclusion, but no one, not even the most active and enthusiastic promoters of silver legislation, had dared to anticipate the com plete knock-out of the finance committee's bill, which last evening's session led up to step by step. The Senators, wearied by the fatigue and ex- citement of yesterday's work, were slow im their appearance this morning and were disinclined to talk much about thy pro- ceedings. Their views, in fact, had been pretty thoroughly expressed” ig public of late, said, and ther lad little or. nothing’ From the general tenor of conversation among the silver majority, however, it was mt that they regard their victory as merely due to the force of an irresistible popular demand, which they believe will make iteclf felt in g similar manner in the House and ultimately im the Executive Mansion. CONSERVATIVE VIEWS. The more cautious and conservative friends of silver are inclined to think that the action of Yesterday will prove to have been « fortunate It may serve to satinty of the west and south for thus prevent recourse to more extreme measures in the way of #ub- treasury schemes, flat money, Ac. which are mMourtated so serivanly by the Farmers’ Allianes al political agitators in the interior of the country. In this view of the matter, had the Senate Voted against free coinage yesterday, the next Congres might have undertaken and possibly ¢ asummated some legislation of @ much wild: and more dubious character. TOME WILL TELL. The defeated party takes the matter calmly The authors and pro- but rather gloom: moters of the origi at the ruthless mar pieces, bit by ¢ waste basket altogether, but they recognize the logic of numbers and’ con- sole themmelves with the reflection that “ume Will show,” and the hope that there will be « rebound of popular sentiment on the question | im the course of time.
