Ernst made the pre- sentations to Mrs. Harrison and Lieut. Parker did the same duty for Mrs. Gray, who pleasantly repeated each name to Mrs. Brewer. At 5 o'clock Mrs, Harrison ani all her receiv- ing party went upstairs and were entertained atahigh tea. The tables were laid along the corridor and while the young ladies sat about on the divans the servants passed around the dainty refreshmenta. Mr. McKee arrived at the White House Satur- jon and to enjoy meeting so many of his acquaintances who were lingering in the blue room. ‘Two days before he had been down in a coal mine in Illinois and fhe contrast between that scene e one he was assisting at showed the pos- day ime to take part inthe recep’ and sibi ies of a business man’s carcer. A funny incident occurred during the after- noon. A lady who was waiting awhile in the red room before going into the blue parlor noticed that she was being scrutinized in a most remarkable way by each person as they assed along. ‘The explanation came when a friend entered and told her that she was being pointed out by a wag of a policeman as the widow of Gen. Grant. The lady entered into the delusion for awhile longer and had no end of amusement over the thing for awhile. The Literary Society was entertained on Sat- urday evening by Mr. John W. Thompson and Miss Ida Thompson, and not only the society, but a few of their other friends, enjoyed the charming hospitality of the occasion. Mr. Thompson and his daughter received their guests in the front drawing room, and Mr. Koss ‘Thompson was very frequently the pleasing guide by whom all were conducted to seats in the ball room, where the essayist of the vvening was faced. Hon. John W. Foster read an ac- count of his last trip to Spain, made, he said, last spripg, with the idea of trying to get back here again before he would be even missed. He was missed, but everybody is glad of it now, since he placed on record such a delightful ac- count of how his days were spent in Madrid during that period of impatient waiting necos- fio could see the high officials with whom he was to negotiate a treaty of reciproc- all the world knows now. ‘This period nd ordi- sary before ity, was holy week, a time when busine nary intercourse are almost entirely suspended, while from the court to the populace all attention is turned to tie commemo- ration of the great events in religion. Mr. Foster's description of the fect washi on Holy Thursday in the palace, in which the queen regent herself takes purt, was fall of pictur- esque details of courtly splendor, in vivid con- trast with the beggars itserved and of historical reminiscence and data, which made it all the more interesting. The dry vein of humor in- terpolating some parts was keenly enjoyed. ‘The paper was finished all too soon, and when Dr. Toner asked its discussion by tho members of the society, Gen, Greely, Commissioner Harris and Mr.’Ulke each made a few remarks, the general tenor of which was congratulator; to Mr. Foster. ‘The exercises, as usual, com- menced, ended and were interspersed with mu- sic, Miss Aileen Bell playing the piano, Miss Prall the violin, and Miss Hunt sang delightfully several times. At the conclusion the doors of the dining room were thrown open and a bountitul supper was served. Among those present, including both members of the society and other friends, were Secretary, Mrs. and Miss Rusk, Miss Foster, Miss Woods, Mrs. Wanamaker, Mrs. Radcliffe, Mrs. MeMillan, the Mexican minister and Mrs. Romero, Mrs. John W.

About all the information that one Postmaster General is able to contain has been pumped into Mr. Wanamaker during the past year that the contest for these places has been going on, In a short time now the seene of the struggle will be transferred to the White House, and Mr. Harrison will be called upon to select the man who shall enjoy the honors and the salary of $2,000 Pirinining {0 the position of postmaster of fedford City and t ie Proper person to man age the postal aifairs at Farmville and draw the salary of $1,400. The President has not been kept in ignor- ance that this contest has been pending. He has heard by letter and by word of mouth on many occasions that these offices would be- come vacant, and in fact, if the truth was known, he has no doubt been urged to exercise his authority and create the vacancies, in- stead of awaiting the slow but sure action of time. (For it was a dis- tasteful thing for the republicans of these localities to know that democrats were receiving the salaries of these offices. How- ever. the President decided to make no re- movuls except for cause, and 0 now the date has arrived making the completion of the full term for which the postmasters were appointed. The naming of their successors would not ordinarily involve much thought or care, but it happens that quite a respectable proportion of the citizens of these places want to be post- masters, and they want to begin at once their career of official usefulness. ‘To decide between the claims of so many candidates is not especially when they march upon the Ottice Department and the White House bear- ing aloft banners of different devices.

In the Criminal Cour: today a case involving aspecies of “voudooiem” was before Justice Bradley. A colored man.

Mr. Thomas C. Taylor ap- peared for the accused. Mrs, Magett testified that Grabam came to herhouse January 29,1891, saying that he was looking for a furnished room for himself and wife, and he handed her a glass thing with a bulb, in which there was some red stuff.

Owing to the inability of Mr. Wilson, one of the leading counsel in the case, to be present in the Court im General Term today the argument that was to take Place there was postponed. Meanwhile the pa- pers in the case filed with the clerk of the court are increasing in number. The exceptions fied to the award of the appraising commission now make ® packet of documents several inches thick. Most of those are identical with the ex- ceptions already published in Tax Stax as hav- ing been filed by counsel representing the Shoe- maker tate and Cornelia O, Truesdell, with the difference that the imues concerning the gold deposits claimed on the lands of Shoo- maker and Truesdell are not raised in the other cases. Exceptions have been filed in behalf of Alex- ander F. Matthews, Mary Van Riswick, Avar- illa Lambert, Martine Carr, Frank D. Shoo- maker, Loais P. Shoemaker, Wm. R. Riles Douglas Forrest, Cornelia ©. ‘Tracedell, John K. Dos Passos, Samuel M. Jones, Anna M. Gar- peater and A.C. Bradley. These exceptions are all practically the same except those filed by Anna M. Carpenter and Jndge Bradley. Mr. Conway Robinson, jr., representing Anne M. Carpenter, excepted’ to’ portions of the re- port making awards for rights on certain roada subject to the interest to be determined in court, and asked the court to pass upon the tude. SUDGE PRADLEY'S EXCEPTIONS. The exceptions filed by Judge Andrew C. Bradley, owner parcel No. 2, were written and signed by Judge Bradley himself. The paper is short and sets forth the following: 1. The said commirsioners dierogarded the ir award of jits value, and based their finding upon considerations outside of auch evidence. 2. The said commissioners awarded only the som of 2650 per acre, or $1,372 for the Whereas the evidence clearly entablished the value thervof as at least €1,000 per acre. . The aggregute assesaments of value of lands taken inte and embraced within the pro- posed park limits exceed the amount author- ized by the act of September 27, 1890, and the whole proceeding as to the condemnation of said lot is vod, said lot being upon the outer limits of eaid park and having been improperly sought to be embraced within the ak Timite in violation of the express condition of said act that the total cost should not exceed the amount of 1,200,000 appropriated by said act. WHAT COMMISKIONER SEUFFERLE TOLD mIat. An afiidavit by Samuel M. Jones, owner of Parcel No. 57, was filed with his exceptions. He says the appraisers awarded him £4,902 for bis parcel, or at the rate of $1,000 Per acre, while the owner of parcel No.’ 56 immediately adjoining his tract, was awarded £1,250 peracre, notwithstanding the concurrent testimony of witnesses, as w ment ai value of > prescnce in parcel 56 of a ravine or guily bisecting it from worth to south. and joining 57 on the south st and differing from it am no essential Particular the commixsion awarded compensa- tion at the rate of ©1,300 per acre. Mr. Jones also makes the following state- ment in his affidavit: “After the tiling of the award and the, dis about the 17th day of December, 1891, affiaut called upon Mr. George J. Seufferle, one of the members of said com: business, No. €26 Pe the course of a con’ had with him the ssid George J.

We considered that we knew. as much about the values of these lands as enybody and cid not consider the testimony of the witnesses; some of them claimed vastly too much for the ground and others did not give enough, and we exercised our own judg- ment.” PROCEEDINGS IX COURT TODAY. This was the day set by the Court in Gen- eral Term for hearing arguments on the objec- tions to the motion w confirm the report of rds recently made by the commissioners appointed to appraise the Rock Crock Park lands. These objections or exceptions, so fur ost of the property owners are concerned, have been printed in Tur Stan. Mr. Wilson was not prosent when the court opened and Mr. Lambert, his associate, stated that Mr. Wilson's presence being required in the Supreme Court of the United Btates he would be unable to take part in the today and asked a postponement ou that ac- count, During the discussion that followed Judge Cox stated that ho had glanced over the excep- tions filed, as published im Tux Stan, and it had occurred to him that the questions were mainly questions that had already been argued and passed on. He asked whether there wore any hew questions requiring extended argu- ment. . Lambert nid there were some new ques- tions that would require argument, and expe- ciuliy that in relation to the character of the testimony received by the commission. Mr. Conway Robinson said that he was ready and willing to take up for argument the exce tions be had made in bebalf of his client, ns exceptions rained a different question entirel; trom those raised by the other property ow ers. District Attorney Cole said be was not im favor of taking up the case piecemeal. Mr. Wilson, who bad come, expressed his regret at being unable to take part in the argu- ment today and bis desire to have the case postponed. ‘There was, he claimed, no great public necessity requiring the case to beargucd today. ‘There were important questions to be argued, and especially that as to whotber it was iu the power of this court, as the matter now stands, to confirm or do anything in the direetion of the confirmation of thisaward. Mr. Perry said that so faras the question of urgency was concerned that was answered in advance by Congress in providing,in the statute that the proceedings should be had without delay. He suggested that the exceptions made by others could be taken up and arguments made aud that represented by Mr. Wilson could be taken up when Bir. Wilson was ready.
