An Increase in the Number of Deaths Last Week—Vital statistics. “There was quite an appreciable incrense in the number of deaths last week over those of the previows week,” says the weekly report of Health Officer Hammett. “There were 123 compared with 98 during the week ending on the 12th instant. A large Percentage of this mortality was among the aged. Thirty-one of them ware over sixty Years old, giving an average ago of seventy-one yenrs. This is largely in excess of the normal rate among this clars. During the decade end- ing in 1890 the mean number of deaths of those sixty years and upward was seventy for the whole month of December and about fourteen for the corresponding week.

To the Editor of The Evening star: ‘Tue Stan's zeal for the establishment of a library and reading room in this city enconr- ages me to ask the use of its columns for a pro- posal to the lawyers and law students employed in the executive departments to form at once an association which will secure to its members a place of meeting in the evening for the dis- cussion of ee topics, the prosecation of le studies and the reading of legal magazines and some such plan as the followin, 1. Membership to be limited to government officers and employes (because lawyers in prac- tice here already have wn aysociation ) 2. Fees and dues to be very moderate (be- cause the sole object of the club should be to stimulate to stud) 3. A room or rooms to be seeured, open from 4 o'clock to 10 o'clock p.m...4u which shail be Jaw books lent by the members and others dis- posed to aid the lub, supplemented by such other volumes as sball from time to time be ac- quired by purebase or otherwise.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Within the last year or two an intolerable nuisance has been developed in Georgetown, which if not soon checked will lead some per- sons into trouble.

REMOVALS FROM THE OLD CEMETERY. Descendants of the dead Eversley family, who | occupied « large walled-in lot iu the Presby- | terian cemetory, called on the sexton a day or two ago and requested that «certain grave bo opened and the remains placed in a new casket and new burial ground. After a great deal of difficulty the wails inclosing the casket were removed and a heavy lead coftin in excellent condition was disclosed. Beyond appearing 4 little dark the dead man’s house was x» perfect in 1884, when it was placed beneath the sod. ‘wo other lead caskets, which evidently be- longed to the same family, were disclosed, but | the representative stated ‘lc had uo record of | any other member of his family being entombed there. Close by this lot the departed members of the Wingerd family have lain for seventy years, but yesterday what remained of them was removed toand deposited near Bethesda. During the last two or three months tie re- movals have been very frequent, but of late there seems to be a diminution inthe number of orders. ‘The many uptarned graves, broken tombs and roots of trees scattered about give | the old cemetery s dim, dismantled and sad- deugd look. ‘NOTES.

The fire aboard the steamer Abyssinia, which was reported by telegraph yesterday to Tax Srax, was discovered by the officers ut noon on Friday, according to one ot the passengers. The flames had then gained such bcudway that they soon spread over the whole vessel. The origin of the fire is unknow?, but is attributed to spontaneous combustion in the cargo of cotton. Care was taken not to alarm the passengers and Capt. Murray bent every effart to smother the fre. This had evidently bee smoldering in the cargo for some time, and when an at- tempt was made toascertuin its extent volume of smoke thick and suffocating drove back the explorers. ‘txoon became evident that the vessel was beyond saving, and the passengers were quietly | told to uke preparations to. leave, the crew laboring meanwhile to retard the advance of the tlanies, which threatened to burst from the old. ‘The passer.gers behaved well, even the women showing wonderful courage under the ciycum- stances. All eyes were strained for a call. The flag of distress was hoisted and the horizon anxionsly seanned. At length the Spree came in sight, and tho speed with which she directed her course toward the burning vessel curried joy to the crew and passengers. Capt. Willigerod of the Spree lovt no time in questions. He instantly cxused his boats to be lowered, aud the Ger- mun sailors quickly manned themand made for the burning vessel. ‘The sca wae not running high and transfer was accomplished without ex- truordinary danger. The first let down into the boats were the women, no distinction being made of saloon or steerage. There were six of seven of these and two children. A sturdy sailor carried down each of tho children, their mother following. Then came the male passengers, und the crew last of all, Capt. Murray going in the last boat. All were safely put on board the Spree. ‘The passengers were persmitied to take with them such belongings as they could carry about their persons, other buggage being sacrificed With the cargo. MUST HAVE SUNK SHORTLY. After the Abyssinia had been abandoned the fire gained rapid headway, as could be seen from the Spree, and the vessel must have gol down soon after. The Spree proceeded on its course without delay and landed the passen- Gere lust night at Southampton. The passengers upon landing were at once taken in charge by the agents of the Guion line and will be torwarded without delay to their destinations. Falke with some passengers show that the crew of the Abyssinia did not all behave cour- agoously in the hour of danger. When the fire was discovered two of them rushed to the side Of the vessel in a panio and Jamped overboard.
