Young Norton went on the excursion with some friends, and in the afternoon while in bathing was attacked by eramps, and before gny aid could be given he sank and was drowned.

Why Col Kobert ts Opposed to Changing Plan. Col. Robert is opposed to changing the plans of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company with reference to its occupancy of B street southeast. It is contended by those who oppose the con- struction of the road on that street that it will narrow the roadway, as the new tracks will not occupy the same position as the old ones did. This is explained by the approved plan of the new tracks. Heretofore the tracks ran parallel with the north side of the street, which is quite irregular as far as 1st street southeast, after which they ran in the middle of B street south- east to Pennsylvania avenue southeast. Ac- cording to the new plan they will start about two fect from the southwestern coping of th lel with te | Dayle” AMUSEMENTS, the Carleton Opera Troupe will return =e city and will commence & brief su itary season of summer opera baugh's House, openit in “‘Amorita.” The price egies no intreduetion to the amusemen’ nounced sacoesp here is too recent tten. principals are competent Ehorus is well trained and the hand of elliciont every performance. poral here and ite re- production will welcomed.

He leaves his estate to his wife, Julia Smoot, with the provision that $1,600 per year be paid the widow of his son. On the wife’s death $10,000 is to be paid to his niece, Maria Jane Smoot; $1,000 to his niece, Georgia W. Smoot; and the rest of his estate is to go to the children of his son, J. D. Smoot. Letters testamentary were issued to his widow, Julia Smoot, on bond of $1,500. ‘The wil of the late E. J. Whipple, leaving his od. aeons estate to his wife, was also ‘Want a Will Construed. Yesterday Mr. M. J. Colbert, for Mary Ida Phelan, daughter of the late Nicholas Phelan, filed a bill against Kate Barry and others for the construction of the will of her father. She states that on the 10th of January, 1870, her father, of whom she was his only child, died, leaving a will, in which she with her mother were made residuary legatees, and it was pro- vided that in the event of the death of the daughter unmarried her share should be appor- tioned among various Catholic institutions, a portion going to Rev. F. E. Boyle for the bene- fit of St. Peter's Catholic Church. She alleges he devise in favor of Rev. Francis E. yvle is mull and void, for the reason, among others, that said cave favor of a minister of the gospel as such.” The complainant prays that ap maton be declared null and voi and that it be so decreed; but if the court be opinion that the devises or any of them are valid, then that the real estate be sold anda proper apportionment made. saci ues High Tent of Rechabites.

THE COMING REGATTA, Getting Heady for the Boat Races on the ‘Potomac. ‘As the dates of the national regatta on the Potomac approsch the loca! interest becomes more and more intense, and viewed from the Present prospect the town will probably be dangerously ill of the boating fever for the next ten days. While the Washington oarsmen are not very numerous among the entries they represent the best talent on the river and they are sure to pull their best for th@®eake of the town. Ld UNDER DIFFICULTIES. The Columbia Club is having a rather hard time in ite preparations, and Trainer Courtney finds that he bas his hands fall in his work of ood deal ‘of talk goiy arcund just tow Py around Just now over th sion of two of the men origi nally sel to form the junior eight of club, which was doing some very creditable work in the bost. The training rules of the club are yery strict, especially as to the hours to be kept by the men, and except on a recent occasion all the juniors have shown every in- clination to obey the rules. AN UNFORTUNATE VIOLATION OF RULES. There was some struggling against personal wishes, of course, but a very general obedi- ence. An explosion came the other night when two of these men, pulling the main oars in the boat, joined a barge party in a trip up the river and remained out long after midnight. Detec- tion resulted in suspension and the substitution of two of the muny anxious amateurs who are only too, glad for a chance in a regatta. ‘There 1 good deal of fecling about the matter. and it is feared that the original effectiveness of the crew, which had reached a high point, will be marred by the change. Courtney is strenu- ously supported by the officials of the club in this affair, and all of the influence of the pow- ers is being brought to bear to crush out the irit of independence that has hitherto marked the careers of several of the best oarsmen in the club. MORE ENTRIES. Secretary Gibson is in receipt of » few more entries, which, bearing date of August 4, are admitted to the official list. They are as fol- lows: John J. Ryan, senior sculler. W. J. Bryce, bow; John Guinano, stroke (pat oar); Sunnyside Boating Club. Toronto, nn Senior four-oared shell—Joseph Sullivan, bow; Fred Liston, 2; Chas: Rame, 8; James Hurley, stroke; Don Amateur Rowing Club, ‘Toronto, Canada. ‘The Malta crew of Philadelphia will prob- ably be among the first arrivals on the river. Yhey are expected in a day or two with their boat, and will be the guests of the Potomacs during their stay. ‘They will train actively for fully a week before the regatta. A DAY OF ENJOYMENT. Delegates tothe C. T. A. U. Goto Mt. Vernon and Elsewhere. The Catholic Total Abstinence Union con- cluded its actual convention work Thursday evening, but a number of delegates are still in the city, though the last of them will probably have left by tonight. Yesterday the delegates, together with the members of the Father Mathew Society, which has been the host of the convention, and a large number of their friends, making a party of about 800, left Washington at 10 o'clock on the steamer Charles Macalester. The day was spent at Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall. It was the first trip to Mount Vernon for the majority of the party, so that the pilgrimage to that historic spot was all the more interesting to them on at account. The party left Mount Vernon shortly after 1 o'clock and went over to Marshall Hall, where they spent the remainder of the day wander- ing about the shady groves and lounging on the hall's broad verandas. A great number took down baskets, from which ‘the daintiest of luncheons were spread beneath the trees. Soon after the return to the city many of the delegates prepared to leave, and the outgoing evening trains carried away the majority of the visitors. Those who were left were, on the in- Vitation of Bishop Keane, the guests of the Catholic University, and the handsome building and grounds were inspected with much pleasure. Mr. Thos. E. Waggaman’s handsome art gal- leries were thrown open for the reception of the visitors and this and many other points of interest were visited during the day. —— Smallest Locomotive Ever Made. William Jacoby, a machinist of Muhlenberg township, Pa. has invented probably the smallest locomotive on record. It weighs but one and one-quarter pounds and is a portion of an eight-day clock.
