There was a pretty fair turnout of the men, and the voting was conducted in « quiet manner. There was no excitement, and the defeated aspirants for honors bore themselves gracefully. The result was as f President, H. C. Volkman; vice president, F. L. Rice; treasurer. D. J. Cotter; secretary, H. R. Lehman. Two members of the board of trustees were elected—C. H. Brad- ley and Officer Passeno. Officer J.C. Howard was chosen custodian of varaphernalia, The flower scheme which several of the sentimental officers have cherished was voted under. XO SMUGGLING THROUGH THIS CUSTOM HOUSE. “Would it be an easy matter to bring in Chinamen, opium, cigars and kindred dutiable goods by way of the Potomac river?” said reporter yesterday to Collector of the johnson. “Not much,” answered that official in a way which indicated that he meant what he said and knew whereof he spoke. ‘Our force is active, ene: aud wide awake. There shall be no Puget sound business played along the Poto- mac if this department understands ite duty. Very little stuff comes up the river, and the presence of a craft from a foreign port is Always an object of interest in these waters, Nearly all the imported goods that come to Wash- ington and Georgetown pass in bond h other ports of entry, principally Baltimore and New York. They ‘are loaded in box cars by customs officers, sealed and the manifest for- warded to the collector of this district. One of our men opens the car here, sees that the seal is intact and the contents and manifest tally. With care and honesty on the part of the cus- toms officer there is no chance for swindling. The very idea of working the thing along the Potomac river is funny.” All the customs peo- ple present at the interview laughed also. HEALTHFULNESS OF GEORGETOWN. The question of the healthfulness of George- town is atopic apparently of unfailing inter- est. Assoon astwo or more medical men get together they fall at once into a discussion of sewers, Rock creek, parks, graveyards and cholera. Several of ‘the leading physicians of the town favor cremation, but do not care to be quoted as entertaining views that are so un- opular. Tae Stak man has recently fad briet talks with Draggists Bennett, Brace, Tyne, Sothoron, Lockheart et al. They’ agree that ihe inducements to health m:ght be materially increased in Georgetown, and that the obliteration of Rock creek and s few breathing pinces in the town would tend to give Georgetowners greater longevity than they now possess. All the authorities named consider that their section compares favorably with any other in Washington in point of clean- liness and is as able to withstand an epidemic. THE OLD METHODIST BURYIXG GROUND. The leasing of the old Methogist burying ground to the Mount Zion (colored) Chureh is the subject of much unfavorable comment among the parishioners of the Dumbarton Ave- nue Church, who say that the representatives of the charch id no right to do it without the consent of the lotholders. In some cases, it is said, colored bodies have been buried imme- diately over those of white men who in life oc- cupied very prominent positions in the town. DEATH OF GREENBURY BELT. Mr. Greenbury Belt of 1229 29th street, a carpenter of wide acquaintance, died yester- day after an illness of several months. He will be buried tomorrow at Oak Hill cemetery. Too MUCH HOSPITALITY. James Tucker, «lineman on the canal, was brought into the station yesterday. He was suffering severely from alcoholic paralysis. He had just landed in town, and meeting a number of acquaintances whom he had not seen since the last time he was arrested imbibed too many fraternal greetings. He was especially hilarious and shook hands with everybody in the station. He stated in substance thathe had been overpowered by the hospitality of his friends. COMING COCKING Mar ‘The air continues to be filled with rumors of cocking main. There is to be one within a few days and afew miles of here. The birds will represent Maryland and Virginia. There isan immense amount of sotto voce gossip about the affair and the police of this precinct have taken a tighter grip on their clubs. ‘A LIVELY SCRAP. A scrap is not an uncommon thing in Georgetown, so says the blotter at station No. 7. Monday last Samuel Baggett and William Pasco undertook to mamtain the local credit in the line indicated. The trouble is said to have 1 begun im the Ram's Horn and the fight con-/ tinued with varying fortunes till Bridge street was reached. Here Officer C. H. Bradiey put in an oar and the pugilistic pair were landed at the station. NoTEs.

A Gratifying Decrease in the Number of Deaths Last Week. “The health report for last week, ended on | Saturday, presents a very favorable aspect,” | says the report of the health officer. “There was a decrease in the number of | deaths an compared with the previous report of 25 per cent, the total number being 96 as against | 128 in the preceding week. ‘The death rate fell m 25.6 to 19.2in the same time.

Gzonor Groseurrm made bis first ap- Pearance in this city at Metzerott Hall last night and nted his unique entertainment that pi #0 successful in Boston and New York. A very distinguished audience greeted the comedian and the laughter and liberal ap- plause testified tn the enjoyment they experi- enced. Itis a difficult task for one man to fur- nish amusement for an entire evening, but Mr. Grossmith was fully equal to it and’ when he made his final bow there were many who wished he would continue. The fadx and foibles of society were satirized in the most entertaining way and Mr. Grossmith proved himself a come- dian of the highest order. His facial expres- sion is remarkable, he has the faculty of chang- ing his voice to suit the character represented and he musical ability, both vocal and instrumental, that adds greatly to his enter- tainment. Some of the best people in the city and a large representation <f the diplomatic corps enjoyed Mr. Grossmith’s first recital and it is expected that there will be even a greater attendance when he again appears tomorrow night. ‘we Damxatiox or Faust, which will be given at Metzerott's Hall by the Choral Society tonight, assisted by the New York Symphony Orchestra, was presented in Baltimore Inst night, and of the performance the Sun today saye: “Mr. Damrosch’s performers reproduced the composer's ideas with remarkable itelli- gence and success. The large mixed chorus sang in excellent style. The soprano voices, in particular, rendered the music with much sweetness. It is very rare, indeed, to bear » chorus given with such smoothness and in such excellent taste as the concluding one last night. ‘The music itself seems almost perfectly adapted to the thought. Berlioz exhibits the same adequateness in effect at all po.uts."" The solo- iste, Mrs. Burch, ae Montegriffo and Mr. Meyn, are commended for their good work. It is expected that a large audience will greet the society tonight.

School Superintendent Kemper made appli- cation to the city council last night for » sup- plementary salary of $600 in addition to the £350 paid by the state, making the salary of the superintendent of schools $980. Hereto- fore since the origin of the schools the salary paid by the state has been the only com tion paid to the school superintendent. Super- intendent R. 1. Carne in making his last annual report said: “‘As i shall soon resign the super- intendency I feel at liberty, for the first time, to suggest that the schools uow need more thorough superintendence. The whole time of the superintendent ought to be given to them, and to give it he must have a living salary. In the earlier days of the school system there were fewer schools and fewer children attended them, and, asI could not give my whole time to the work, and it was really not needed, I have been content with the small salary given by the state ($390 a year), though it has not by any means paid me for the time and thought Thave bestowed upon it.” The application is now in the hands of the city finance committee. ‘THE JEVFERSON PHILLIPS CASE.

Shortly after 10 o'clock this morning Mr. John Henry Sothcron of St. Mary's county, Md., dropped dead in the rotunds of the Eb- bitt House. Mr. Sothoron, who was eighty-five years of age, was conversing with a number of Maryland friends preparatory to calling with them upon the President in the interest of one of the party, when he remarked that he felt very bad and almost immediately pitched forward into the arms of one of his friends. They placed him upon the floor and summoned medical aid, but the unfortanate man expired in almost an in- stant, his death being attributed to heart failure. The remains were placed in charge of ndertaker Lee and will be removed to Mars- land for burial. The deceased was quite & prominent man in Maryland, and resided upon his fine estate, “The Plains,” on the Patuxent river, near Charlotte Hall. He was greatly ted and was always ac@vely engaged in state politics, atone time being president of the Marvland senate. He leaves a family of six daughters and one son, his son being Mr. Marshall Soth- orva of this city. One of the daughters of the deceased is the wife of Representative Parnes Compton of Marvland and another is the wife ot Surgeon Lloyd Curtis of the navy. ———_— One Case of Smallpox onthe Steamer.
