Saturday is the reception day for nearly all those on Connecticut avenue, rete adja- cent thereto in the extreme West Eud and to Georgetown. White House messengers are nowbusy taking around the cards for the evening receptions to be given by the President end ils. Harrison. ‘The form is the same as that used last year. ‘The first reception, which is to meet the diplo- matic corps, 1s on Tuesday, January 12, from 9 to 11 o'clock. By the way,the custom of sending out invita- tions by messenger, where hundreds of them are distributed, Las almost entirely died out. ‘The mail is now used exclusively, save at the White House, where there is ample service, and itis regarded, ard very justly so, as more ele- their home near Falls Church, Va., after spend- ing the holidays with Col.

Mr. George Hellen gives n ball tonight at the Country Club in honor of Miss Todd, his cousin, who is a debutante. Mrs. Hitt will be back from Europe shortly. Her son is greatly improved in health.

Clark's children Satuzday was very successful, All nationalities were represented in the costum- ing, although Japan predominated. The house was decorated with everything from that far- off country. Parasols, ians and lanterns were the favors given and the table was beautifully trimmed with the same and was loaded with substantial and ail sorts of fancy confectionery. Edith Clark, the eldest daughter, was dressed in full Japanese costume, even the skin being Stained to suit, and the baby, Eleanor, who was bora in Paris three years « ed in pale blue large figured cretonue, which was most becoming to her. Clifford, the ouly son, was dressed as the Mikado, wig’and ull, while his I.

The Vico President's invitations are sont out by mail. ‘This rule. of course, does not apply to invita- tions to dinner or cther small events where the number is necessarily limited. Private messenger, even if that individual comes in the guise of a small boy in the uniform of # District messenger, is consid- ered the correct thing. Many ladies deliver theit_own invitations in the progress of their afteraoon drive, and this, next to a verbal in- Vitation, is considered the very happiest form of being bidden anywhere, It may be a good opportunity to remind everybody that no mat- ter how they get their invitations they should be answered «s speedily as possible. By this means the general information and peace of mind is enhanced on all sides and Lad blunders and surprises averted. Senor and Mme.

Some of the Excuses Presented by Those Who Did Not Desire to Serve. The work of selecting the jurors for the Present term of the Police Court was begun this morning and only fifteen jurors were ob- tained. Judge Miller called one after another and questioned them as to their competency. With the exception of one colored man all were competent and his only excuse was that there was some doubt as to whether he was sixty-five years old or not. One man was deaf and he said that his dea! ness was only temporary; that it resulted from the grip. The next man called did not respond, but the judge received a note to the effect that he was suffering from the grip. Then came the men who were unable to serve owing toa pressure of business, and the Judge eaid it was a matter of congratulation that 6o many men have large business interests, but at the same time he wanted them to remember that observance of the law ond the prosecution of offenders had something to do with their b ness and in order to have the law upheld it is necessary to get good jurors. Several men gave good business excuses and they were not compelled to serve. ‘Two of the talesmen were in the drug busi- ness. One keepsastore and the other is a clerk. The proprietor said he could not very well leave his business, as his only clerk was not registered, He was excused. “Judge, I can answer the questions all right,” said a man named Taylor, “but I am an engineer in the employ of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company, I have eight children, and earn €2.64 a day.” ‘The judge said that under the circumstances he thonght it would be a hardship on the talesman to make him serve, he was excused. Mr. Donoghue had been on the Criminal Court jury within a year, and he was therefore excused. Fred Douglass, jr., did not answer, because he is sick in bed. The court ordered the necessary names to be drawn from the box and the jurots accepted were excused until Wednesday. ees DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. MUST REMOVE THE TRACK. The complaint of Mr. Rallinson Colburn of 220i 14th street that the standing of the cars of the 14th street line in front of his house was creating a nuisance received the attention of the Commissioners today. They ordered the railroad company to remedy the evil at once by removing its temporary tracks at that point. WIDENING VALLEY STREET. Some days ago Mr. James 8. Raeburn wrote a letter to the Commissioners requesting that an order be issued to have the unsightly fence in Valley street, Georgetown, moved back to widen the sidewalk, for which ground was donated. Building Inspector Entwisie, to whom the mat- ter was referred for report, says he is convinced that to widen the street would be impracticable aa at least half of its frontage, is improved by buildings, and the expense of condemnation would not justify it. ‘The best plan, he thinks, would be to increase the sidewalks by narrow- ing the roadway to twenty feet. MORE GAS MAINE, The Commissioners have granted permission to the Washington Gaslight Company to lay gas mains in the following streets: 9th street, west side, between E and F streets southwest (in sidewalk); 7th street, east side, between F and G streets northeast (in sidewalk): L street, south side, between North Capitol and 1st streots northeast (in. sidewalk); Maryland avo: nue, south side, between 9th and 10th streets northeast (in sidewalk); 10th street, west side, between D and E streets northeas: (in side- walk). 17th street, west side, between V street and Florida avenue northwest (in sidewalk), and Florida avenue, south side, between 171 and V streets northwest (in sidewalk). WANT TO ERECT A FRAME BUILDING. ‘The Commissioners are in receipt of » peti- tion from Mr, John R. Coffin, representing tho northeast brauch of the Central Union Mis- sion, requesting permission to erect a tempo- rary frame house on the small triangular space bounded by Maryland avenue, F and 11th streets, in order,that the church’ may have a larger room in which to conduct services, as the present one is totally inadequate. As this is in the fire limits it will take a special order of the board to grant the permission asked, A SYSTEM OF SEWERS. As the superintendent of sewers is by no means certain that the construction of the out- let sewer system on 14th street will reach E street during the nest fiscal year the Commissioners have, upon the recommendation of Capt. Lusk, ordered that a system of sewers bo placed upon the provisional schedule for 1893 for construc- tion for draining a portion of square 1042. ‘MISCELLANXOUS. Upon the urgent request of scveral citizens living on the Bladensburg road Capt. Lusk has ordered the removal of the old pump near Mt. Olivet cemetery. If upon examination the water is found unfit for use the well will bo filled and a new street hydrant erected between Lewis and Olivet atreet. ‘The alley in square 996 has been ordered to be paved under the compulsory permit system. Upon the request of Supervising Principal James of the Curtis School, the parking com- mission has recommended the removal of eight trees in tho school yard. —— THE COURTS, Egurrr Covrt—Judlge Cox. Saturday—In re Geo. M. Long; instructions to committee. Cincurr Court—Judge Monti Saturday—-Grey, administrator, agt. of Columbi OBJECTIONS TO THE APPRAISEMENT. Rock Creek Park Property Owners Oppose the Awards Made. EXCEPTIONS FILED QUESTIONING TRE COXSTITU- TIONALITY OF THE ACT, ALLEGING TUAT THE GOVERNMENT OFFERED TESTIMONY THAT WAS NOT IMPARTIAL AND THAT THE AWARDS ARE UNFAIB—THE GOLD QUESTIOX. ‘This was the day set by the Court in General Term for hearing the motion of the govern- ‘ment to confirm the report of the commission that appraised the lands included within the limits of the proposed Rock Creek Park. The lawyers interested in the matter, both on the government side and the side of the property owners, were on hand when the court opened at 10 o'clock. There were present also # number of the property owners. The proceedings of the morning did not give promise of an immediate occupation of the Rock Creek Park by the government. They indicated that counsel for property owners or some of them were prepared or preparing to fight at every step and take advantage of every legal point ‘against the final confirmation of the report. Chief Justice Bingham and Jus- tices James and Cox, who have heard all the estions that have been argued regarding the condemnation proceedings, were on the bench. After the court had disposed of some pre- liminary business District Attorney Cole rose and presented an order limiting the time within which parties in interest who desired to do so could file exceptions until next Monday with the understanding that the motion would then be argued. : i Judge Cox said it was his impression that the order made when the report was filed fixed alimit. Mr. Cole said that the former order merely postponed consideration until today. ‘Mr. Lambert referred to the fact that the term of the court expired by limitation Satur- day. For his client he bad already filed excep- tions to the report for the purpose of the set- tlement of a bill of exeeptions. He asked an order extending the term of the court for the purpose of signing the bills of exceptions. After some discussion an order was made with the consent of counsel extending the term for the purpose designated until February 1. ‘This ended the proceedings today. EXCEPTIONS TO THE REPORT.

The Tribute Paid to Him by a Congressional Committee. In 1882, when Gen. Meigs was retired, the committee on military affairs made this report to the House: “As captain of engineers he constructed pub- lic works costing $10,313,000, As quartermas- ter general he has directed the use and applica- tion of appropriations intrusted tohim amount- ing to $1,156,600,000. In addition to which he has investigated and adjudicated, under the special authority and duty imposed upon him SHOT A BARKEEPER, Frank W.

Heygster, pro- prietor of another saloon. Just bow the shoot- mg occurred and the rexsousthatled up toitare not very certain as yet, as the wounded man is not in a positionto make any statement with reference to the occurrence, while Heygster, according tu his own statement, was too much under the influence of liquar and too excited at the time to have any definite idea of bow it ail happened. TITS MAN MAS SHOT MR. A few minutes before the shooting Hergster called in at Sautter's place to see Horigan, whe was busy at the time cleaning up behind the bar and getting ready for the day's business. The only other person in the bar room at the time was 4 young colored waiter, J. H. Queen by name, but who for some reuson ta better ort, Heygeter told Horigan that alk with him on told Queen to go out of the room for a few minute @pron and came a: from behind and stood atone end of the bar in conversation with his visitor. According to Queen's story the conversation began pleasautly enough and seemed to be on family matters, as he heard Heygster make a number of references to his wite. When he had been in the back part of the building for about five minutes be beard the report of @ pis rigan shout, “Robert, this man has shot me.” Queen then rushed ‘into the bar room woun an holding himself up against the end of the bar, while Heygster was making 4 rapid exit through the swinging doors, HEYOSTER ARRESTED. After assisting the wounded barkeeper to @ Toom upstairs the colored man burried out and informed a policeman that their barkeeper had been shot by Heygster. Heygster ran around the corner inte E street snd wasseen by a stall newsboy to throw something over the fence into the yard back of tho auio. Boyd, who at once investi, od the nd the weapon done. It was a Smith large caliber. douly ove of the cartridges had be ischarged. Heygster evider uurectly to his own, avenue. He went t maid nothing to bis yer about having shot any one. He was thortiy after by Oficer Golway and to the first precinct station house, on 12th He was placed in a cell by himself and Was given a chatice to sober up, as he was more than haif intoxicated at the time of his arrest. At first ke would say notuing about the occurs rence, but later talked quite irecly with Lieut. Amiss. street. by the law of Fourth of July, 1864, over 33,000 claims of citizens in the border states for $40,- 000,000, upon which, upon his report and recommendation, Congress has allowed and paid about 11,000 of them, to the amount of $4,500,000. “Your committee, while indisposed to estab- lish the rule of retiring officers with a higher grade than their actual rank, do not hesitate to recommend it in the case of Gen. Meigs. His long service in the army, but especially as quar- termaster general for nearly twenty years, cov ering the whole period of the war for the sup- pression of the rebcilion, entitles him to some expecial mark of distinction by the Congress of the United States. And your committee there- fore recommend the passage of the bill, with an amendment.” ———————— LAYLIN THE NOMINEE, The Sherman Candidate for Speaker of the Ohio House. At Columbus Saturday the republican mem- bers of the house of delegates of the Ohio legis- lature, by @ vote of 38 to 34, nominated Lewis C. Laslin of Huron county, the Sherman eandi- date for speaker. Laylin was nominated on the first ballot. John F. McGrew of Clarke county, who was defeated, was the Foraker candidate. This victory is considered an assurance of the election of Senator Sherman to eucceed him- self in the United States Senate. Ex-Governor Foraker, who also aspires to the position, claims that he is not discouraged at the result of the speakership contest, and that five delegates who voted for Laylin for speaker will vote for him (Foraker) for United States Senator. ‘The Foraker people propose to continue the fight untii the senatorial caucus tomorrow night, notwithstanding the fact that nine out of ten are free to concede that there is no hope for the governor, as Mr. Sherman will be muca stronger in the joint caucus than wax Mr. Laylin in the house caucus Saturday afternoon. The Foraker adberents wili undoubtedly carry out this line of policy and go to battle in the last ditch with colors flying. Ex-Speaker Keifer, Gen. Grosvenor, Judge Thorpeon and many others of the old wheel horses of the republican party in Ohio have been working hard in the interest of Mr. Sher- man. Tkese gentlemen all claim that Sherman will have not less than fifteen of the twenty re- publican senators, and that his vote will not fall below sixty on joint ballot, Saturday night the ranke of Sherman were recruited by the addition of Senator Rawlings of Ciarke county ‘The Foraker men say that they will form their ranks anew and fight this thing through to the bitterend ‘The fee! between the Foraker and Sherman people is decidedly bitter and persoual encounters between the statesmen and triends of each are only prevented by the inter- ference cf friends, TLe Sherman men have decided to hold the joint caucus tomorrow night. Around the headquarters of Senator Sher- man Saturday evening was all the cheerfulness of expectant victory. Ihe friends of Senator Sherman regurd the contest as over and con- gratulated the veteran statesman on his vic- tory. Senator Sherman himself, who all along has manifested not the slightest uneasiness over the final result, grasped each of his callers by the hand and ‘thanked the visitor for bis call and his congratulations. p When asked how he regarded the situation Senator Sherman said “very favorably,” in a tone of quiet assurance which gave evidence that he, too, like his friends, regarded the battle as practically fought and won. “The speakership contest,” continued he, “has! it is generally conceded, fought upon senator: lines. Three or four of my friends voted for Mr. McGrew aud three or four of Gov. For- aker's friends voted for Laylin. Both Laylin and McGrew being old members of respectable standing, each naturally bad personal friends who voted for him on personal grounds, But the great body of representatives voted upon sen- atoria! lines J consider that the inf ‘otes was about equal, so that approximately mgets might be said to contain’ thirty-four Foraker men and thirty-eight friendly to me. In the senate 1 think it will be and is conceded that a very large mejority—some say nearly two to one—are friendly to me. ‘What do you expect your majority to be in the ee —— aa f a * can't Bay as to figures,” replied Senator, with a pleasant smile of confidence. “Te: t to be nominated and { do not know that the figures are at all material.” “When, cdo you expect the senatorial caucus to be held: “I do not know. That is a matter with which a anaet g td It is settled by the members of two houses themselves.” Senator Sherman WHY MORIGAN Was stor. He said that § nu had boasted of being on terms of improper intimacy with his wile and had even taunted him with his shame. Horigan had spoken in this way of Mra. Heyg- ster on numerous occasions in bar rooms and other public places, and after goading Heyg- ster aimost to desperation the latter had gone to see tim this morning to ask him to retract his statement. te further said that be was det with threatsand a biow, and that, much the smaller man, he had tired the shot ia welt-detonse. Frank W. Heygster is the proprietor of the large saloon ut 904 Pennsylvania avenue and ina well-known man about ww morning as thst; atheraslender man and considerabiy shorter then the man be ebot. For several days past he has been drinking pretty hurd and showed the effects of it this murning, as he was very weak and completely unnerved, He is rather a good-looking young man, with « curling mustache. He lives with duis wile at 232 New Jersey avenue. THE WOUNDED MAN'S CONDITION. The wounded man, Horigun, is about twenty- five years of age and is very popular among certain people around town For some years past he has been a barkeepes in various saloons and up to about four montis ago be manipu- lated the glases and bottles at Heygster's plece. He left there, he #uys, because he was relused a couple of days off to attend to some important business; Heygster says be- cause of negligence and _ ineflicieney. Since then be ‘has been tending bar at Sautter's, where he was very well liked apd regarded as a quiet and inoffensive man. After the shooting this morning be was taken into a room above the restaurant aud his wound was dressed by Dra. Dudley Morgan and James F. Barber. It was found that the ball had entered in front avout two inches above the navel. It went completely through the body and came out of the back. ‘The wound was not regarded as a fatal one, though there was considerable danger of internal hemorrhages. Tbe patrol Wagon of the first precinct was summoned and he was taken to Providence Hospital, where {t was stated later in the day that he was doing as well as could be expected. He ireet southeast. ie is unmar- lives at 702 5th ried and for some time past bas been paying marked attention toa young lady of this city. One of his friends toldaSrax reporter this morning that while he knew Horigan very well be had never heard bim say a word about beit on intimate terms with Heygster's wife an that be had always spoken an the highest terms of lieygster himself. Heygeter was seen in his cell at the station bya Srau reporter this morning. At first be was very reticent about the shooting, giving as an excuse that be iad not had an opportunity of consulting a lawyer and that his mind was ina very hazy condition anyway. Finally he consented to give lis side of the story and said that the shooting was brought about primarily by the statements about his wife that Horigan ‘had been “circulating. "The tm- timacy, Horigan claimed, began some time ago, while Heygster was on « trip abroad. Not content with wronging him Horigan bad been gloating over him and bad told his story at French's saloon on 7th street opposite the market and at other places. This came to Heygster's ears and he went to see Horigan this morning to remonstrate with him. He admitted that he was under the influence of liquor when he went to Sautter's. Heygster further told the reporter that he had talked over the matter with his wife, but refused to say whether she had admitted or denied the charges made by Horigan. A TALK WITH EEYosTER, “The matter is bad enongh as it is,” said Mr. Heygster “without trying to make it any worse. Thave been worrying over this thing for days and have had no sleep,so that I feel as though I was almost crazy. 1 made up my mind this morning that 1 would get up early and around to see this mean wretch and seo could not get him to retract the stortes that he had been circulating about my wife. When I went in I told bim that I wanted to talk with him upon private matters He was agreeable about it at Arst, but in « few minutes he vent the colored man out of the room and them he took off the apron be had on and came around from behind the bar.
