Mra. Harrison bas been giving s great deal of attention ull of the past week to the repairs whieh will be commenced at the White House the first of next month. She bas been busy also with the preparations necessary for the transfer of many useful household goods to her cottage iat Cape May Point, where she goes next Tfureday with her grandchildren and their nursex. If possible the President will go with her and if the state of the public business will allow be hopes to be with his tamily during most of the summer. Mrs. Hatrison, however, ways that the President never was as busy as he ix now and the prospects of her having much of bix company auring the early part of her stay at the cottage are not very bright. ‘The children, however, will be a source of great pleasure. They had their pic: tures taken yesterday, copies of which will be forwarded across the sea to Mrs. McKee in an- other week. This series of photographs sre among the first the youthful Benjamin has had | taken in his jacket and knickerbockers, and consequently mark an important epoch in his bright career. Mra. Harrison's cottage at Cape May Point is now almost entirely surrounded, as since last season eight new cottages have been erected. ‘The boum in that section has sei in and soon it will be too thickly settled to have ite old-time charm as a quiet residence. Mr. Kussell Harrison is here to spend Sunday with bis parents. His wife, when saill other day, said that she would return the middle of Anguat, as she could not be separated any longer from her little girl. ‘The President, and indeed all the family, do not wish them to re- turn that soon if they enjoy the trip, and will induce them to remain on the other side until the middle of September. Naturally they are allexpecting with inteuse interest the first letters from the travelers. Society is giving itself an easy, comfortable time, wearing light loose-fitting clothes, and altogether conducting itself with the abandon and inatten ities as generally characterizes life at ws resort. ‘The every-day program is mod much as possible after it. There are uot many people walking in the mornings. now, unless their destination be the shady nooks and cor- ners of the parks, whore indeed fashionable life really tlouriabes these warm days. ‘The shops and the markets are surrounded with stylish uipages, showing that their fair occupants taker the seslest posable means to do their usual morning errands. Fashionable driving does not begin now until after 5 o'clock in the afternoons and those enjoying this pleasant pastime meet their acquaintances along the shady roads of Kock creek ur the Soldiers’ Home. Lawn tennis, another charming way to Kili time, is not abandoned yet by uny means, although the players present such wilted spec- tacles after a vigorous gume that it takes all of one’s strength of mind to suffer and make no sign. The court at the British legution is gen- erally im active service every aiternoon, Sir Julian himself, with a couple of his young’ sec- Tetariex, with a young lady or two, manage to geta great deal of pleasure upon these occa- sions. There ure chairs drawn up in a corner of the garden, around a lemonade pitcher: and glasses, where not only the players but the guests’ may refresh themselves. Sir Julian makes a rather picturesque figure himself oa these occasions, being robed in white linen and hiv genial face shaded by a wide Panama, The young foreigners who play at the diplo- matic court are equally assiduous in presenting themselves there and getting the liveliest and, in fact, only vigorous exercise that is pat for them. Iufurmal dinners and breakfasts equally popular, wil little lead. d opera rties are every night events and there are a few men who still wear dress coats upon these perspiring occasions, ‘The Washington Club has caught the con- tagion of the lazy existence popular at this at | season of the year, aud ite threshold is not as frequently passed over as it was during the first weeks of its organization. Out of its membership @f 160 oF 170 only about fifteen enjoy the advantages of the club. There was abit of ascare anda good deal of sarcastic criticism in the start that the formation of a woman's club would destroy domestic life among a class of women whose example car- ries a wide measure of influence. But there is no danger of that, for whatever visits the mem- bers have made to the club rooms during the day, never a woman of them has crossed its threshold at night. Of course the more enthu- siastic of ite supporters sey that this will not beso next winter, when the club strength- ened by nearly a hundred more most desirable memberships will lead in importance of all the fashionable movements. Among the quieter families of the administration the club has not been received with any degree of success, but the two ladies of cabinet families who are mem- bers will, of course, carry a balancing power in that direction. Mra. Noble is most en- thusiastic member, not because sh rticu- larly feels the lack of the peculiar needs which the club is supposed to furnish, but because she firmly believes in women combining to- gether for all useful and practical ends. She thinks that the future of the club will be to establish @ criterion of conduct, applying not only to morals, but to manners, customs, influences and that help- fulness which in ® city like Washington par- men extel to each other in a society made up of such diverse elements. Of course the lack of interest in the club at present can be attributed to the absence of perhaps two-thirds of its members from the of these will retura before , 80 that its awakening to ite second life will not start before that date.

The Defendant Tells His Story of How the Fight Took Place. Yesterday afternoon, in the Criminal Court, after Tue Stan's report closed in the murder trial of Thos. H. Heath, colored, for the killing of Emanuel Tapen, the defendant was on the stand, as stated in yesterday's Stax. He testified that he was sixty-eight years of age, and was afflicted with heart disease, ktd- ney disease, nervousness, and had been #0 afflicted since 1864, and was worse from these diseases than he had been before at the time of the troubie. On the day of the trouble, abeut So'clock, he said to Tapen that he must not go out of the gate, for it had been left open the night before and some one would come in and steal his chickens, and he would put a lock on it the next day. Tapen wid if he did ho would break it off, and called defend- ant a gray-hended —- ——-———. ‘Tapen then seized the ax and struck him on the arm, and witness got it away from Tapen and feil, when Tapen jumped on bim. Then his daugh- ter and another woman ran to them and he was taken to his room, and he sent his daughter for an officer. She had not gone for two minutes before Tapen broke in his door and witness seized his gun and Tapen backed to the,side, where he stood and cursed him for drawing the gun.

He suid today when Detective Carter arrested him that his name was Williams, and he had grown | 80 in the past two years that the detective had | almost forgotten him, but after recognizing him he also found Tom's initials in his hat. The arrest came about in a singular way. | Some days ago a sneak job was done at the house of Mr. Hugh Chappell on Corcoran street, and about $150 worth of clothing was stolen. The man who was sus- pected was seen in the neighborhood by Mr. John Boyle, a newspaper correapond- ent, but Mr. Chappell did not see him. This morning while passing down 7th «treét Mr. Chappell noticed « man wearing some clothing that he knew he had seen before and he f lowed him until he met Detective arrested him. ‘The trousers and vest that the prisoner was wearing Mr. Chappell identified ax his prop- etty, and his name was on the trousers. Let- ters found on the prisoner from the siperin- éendent of the Concord reformatory indicate that he was once in that institution, as words of advice were given and a bright future for him was predicted.

PARNELL'S MARRIAGE WITH MRS. O'SHEA. It is rumored today that Parnell’s marriage with Mrs, O'Shea will take place the coming week. Parnell has subsided somewhat of late, the reason being that he is spending nearly all his spare time in the company of Mrs, O'Shea.

WORK ON THE CANAL. The complaint from Hagerstown that the breaks in the canal are being filled with an inferior black mud that will be washed out by the first freshet is stoutly denied by Maj. Whit- comb, the engineer in charge of the improve- ments. The major stated that the people all along the line, many of whom have seen the canal repaired’ scores of times, say the work is more thoroughly and substantially done than ever before, and by personal inspection he knows that the black mud spoken of ix not put in the breaks atall, as a particular kind of clay, which is obtained at a considerable expense from Harper's Ferry and Sandy Hook, has always been used. The only thing he fears is that the canal trustees will complain that the work is too thoronghly done and too much money being spent on it. A new wharf is now being constructed on Rock creek near its mouth, which will be used for canal purposes, Next week the river dredge will begin the work of excavating the creek to a depth of six feet from the river to the canal. The canal dredge is now working in the basin and is getting along very rapidly. ‘The estimated cost of the entire repairs to the canal is $20,000, Water has been let into the canal down to Hancock, Md., and carly in July it is probable that the whole dis- tance will be covered to a depth of six feet. ‘TRE NEW NAVAL OBSERVATORY.
