ARRIVED, Three-masted schooner John J. Hanson, Maryland Dover, Maine, Capt. Oliver, ten days from JOHN SPRO! SUICIDE. He Seats Himself in «Chair and Blows His Brains Out. The saloon kept by the children of the late Andrew Sprohs at No. 483 C street northwest was not opened at the usual hour this morning and the cause of the doors being kept closed wasa ghastly sight that was presented ina room just in rear gf the bar. ‘The late Andrew Sproks was onef Washington's old and re- spected citizens, and it was his brother, John this morning. Two years ago John Sprohs returned from the west ona visit to his rela- tivesand friends in Baltimore and this city, and most of the time he has spent at his brother's home. Recently, it is stated, he bas shown signs of mental trouble. He retired last night fs usual and nothing more was heard of hig until his dead body was discovered about 6 o'clock this morning. It is thought that he had taken his life a short time before his body was found. He hadleft his room on the second floor and gone down stairs to the dining room, He wasin his stock- ing feet and shirt sleeves, SHOT NIMSZLF THROUGH THE READ. Seating himself ona chair in the middle of the room, he put the barrel of the revolver against his temple and pulled the trigger, eend- ing the bullet where it caused instant death. ‘The unfortunate man’s head fell back and his body still rested on the chair.

Some time since, at the instance of her mother, Miss Lillie Shreeves, living in Bouth- east Washington, was taken by Humane Society Agent Wilson to the House of Mercy, but she remained there only a short time. Yesterday the mother called on Mr. Wilson to have her again sent to the House of Mercy and he took her to the fourth precinct station. On ques- tioning her he ascertained that a young man named Thomas P. Dickerson was her sweet- heart and he called on him. The young man said that his intentions were to marry her, but he was not pecuniarily fixed. Mr. Wilson said that that need not stand in the way, especially as he bad a license dated February 3, and send- ing for a minister in the person of Rev. Dr. Price, the preparations were at once made and in a short time the knot was tied. posinanihemmt.ca Athletic Sports and a Circus at Woodside.

Axpavon’s.—The popularity of Gilbert & Sullivan's ‘*Gondoliers”” was fully demonstrated at Albangh’s yesterday, when it drew large audiences both at the matince and at night. ‘This tuneful opera has been heard here many times and always with pleasure. It was one of the most successful operas during the et ment of the Carleton troupe last’ summer, and it promises to be equally a8 successful this sea- son. cast is a particularly good one, each member appearing to catch fhe spirit of Gilbert's humor, while all are thoroughly com- petent to cope with Sullivan's melodious vocal score. That the audience last night was fully satisfied with the performance was evidenced by the frequent applause and the number of encores demanded. Misses Bach, Bell, Lang- don and Wisdom, Messrs. Carleton, Taylor, Ricketts, Blake and Drew all found favor and fully sustained their well-earned reputations. The chorus was large and effective and the dances, particularly that in the second act, were gracefully “performed. The opera is hand- somely staged and the costumesare rich and ap- propriate. Again tonight. Da. C. B. Punvis will lecture on “Great Men and Women of Anti-Slavery Days” at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, Georgetown, on Friday even- ing next. Dr. Purvis is aman of fine attain- ments, has been associated with some of the greatest benefactors of his race and being an easy and graceful speaker will, no doubt, make his lecture one of great interest. ‘Tux Contixextazs will inauguratea fair this evening at Washington Hall, corner 3d and Pennsylvania avenne southeast. Mr. J. Cooper McGinn will make the opening address, Prof. Callains Mandolin Club will furnish ‘music. There will be pretty girls at the different ta- bles and many articles of ornament and use that will attract purchasers will be displayed. Hannis’ Brsov Tueater.—No play of recent production has made a profound impression on the public more than Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and its presentation at Harris’ Bijou Theater las night was received with every demonstration of approval. It is a performance which makes a deep impression on ail who see it. It tells great moral truth in a way that is full of force and vividness. Mr. Clarke has enjoyed extra- ordinary success with the gruesome but fasci- pating dual character. It is a role that very few actors are competent toassume. Mr. Clarke makes the contrast between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde very marked, and his transformation scene, which takes ‘place in full view of the andience, is startling. in its intensity and won- derful in its effectiveness. * The supp@ting company is one of merit throughout. Mesers. Gordon, Glenn, Ceoper and Levering and Mines Florence Gerald and Jennie Grey, as well as those who assumed the minor roles, re- flected credit on the organization. A large audience was prévent last night, and the attrac- tion at once demonstrated its popularity.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: T noticed in last week's Stan two communi- cations, one signed K. and the other 8., both lamenting the fact that such @ numerous body of men as the Grand Army of the Republic should not have a hall of their own, which they could call their home and where the different posts could meet for business or pleasure as occasions presented themselves. I learn that what now is called the Grand Army Hall costs them in yearly rental between 5,000 and 000. Ishould think if the officers of the different posts here would take the proper measures they could raise sufficient funds so that the G. A. R. Ey could own their own buik in one of business streets of this city. The lower floor could be utilized for stores and let at rentals that would pay the in- terest on the best part of the cost of the ground and building, the upper floors being reserved for hall and meeting rooms. There are, no doubt, many veterans who would be willing to donate liberally, Ss 1. their means, to this object. Eventually whole structure would be free from indebtedness, and in the intense itching. I tried many reme- dies and doctors without relief. At last Dr. Leicer of Lewisburg, Pa., advised me to take Hood's Sarsa- parilla, and use at the same time Hood's Ointment.

Bofore the first bottle was gone the ulcers began to heal, the inflammation ceased and in » short time I considered myself rid of the trouble, and for months I ‘enjoyed health and life as I had not before for many year.
