The Home Rule Committee Hold An- other Meeting and Pass Resolutions. At the last meeting of the Citizens’ Home Rule Committee, an organization for the purpose of making the District a regular state, several new members were in attend- ance. Secretary Patrick Loughran an- nounced that the committeemen who would come from the twenty-first district were all young men native and to the manner born, and that the state of Columbia when ad- mitted into the Union would pass into the control of young men. He was greeted with applause. Mr. J. H. Crane reviewed the history of the District's affairs since its cession to the general government, mentioning the fact that “a bill to cede the District back to Marsland had once been presented to Con- &ress for the purpose of restoring the right of suffrage, and came within three votes of passing the House of Representatives, but the present movement was the first effort made toward securing admission into the sisterhood of states. He had 19 doubt of the ultimate success of the plan. It was simply a question as to how much despo- tism and oppression the people of the Dis- trict would stand. He had seen Congress- man Blair and was assured by him that he would again enlist in the struggle for suffrage and justice, if properly supported by the people of the Distric ‘A resolution pertaining to the present un- just debt imposed upon the people of the District and respecting what 1imits the siate of Columbia should place on the constitu- tional power of taxation was offered by Mr. Udell, and on motion of Gen. Bane was re- ferred to a special committee consisting of C. R. Taylor, Aiva Udell and Gen. H. H. | Bane, who were instructed to report the | resolution at the next meeting of the gen-| eral committee. Mr. Taylor, Mr. Augerstein, Mr. Crane and Mr. Loughran were appointed a com- mittee to draft and report resolutions at the next meeting of the general committee, pro- viding for permanent District organizations in each of the old twenty-two legislative districts. Mr. Augerstein moved that the ladies of the District. who are in any way interested in civil and political rights be invited to be present at the meetings of the committee. After discussion of the question the matter was postponed for consideration at the Le: meeting. s Addresses were made by Bryant Tyson, C. R. Tayior, J. F. Wathen, O. W. Goodwin and Gen. Bane, whose remarks tended to show that a popular uprising for home rule and admission Into the Union is spreading in all parts of the District. ee HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT. ued Decrease 1 ber of Deaths. “There was a continued decrease in the number of deaths as shown by the reports for the week ended on Saturday last,” says the report of Health Officer Hammett A | “From 129, as by the previous report, the mortality declined to 103.

If the conduct of a common looking coun- | try hound had decided an alleged dog steal- ing case, heard in Judge Mills’ court today, the colored man charged with the theft ; | would have received the canine, but as the case was disposed of according to the proof | he lost the dog, and the animal was turned | over to the citizen who claimed to be the | lewal owne: Jeremiah Snowden, a hard working color- ed man from Mount Pleasant, was defend- ant in the case and Perry Miller was the prosecuting witne Policeman Upperman had a string tled about the neck of the country looking ca- nine and it was not until the animal saw Snowden in the dock that tt dropped upon haunches and set up an unearthly howl. So much noise was made by the dog that it | became necessary for the officer to leave the | court room und give the dog comfortable | quarters outside. “I bought the dog from a man in Mont- said Snowden, “and paid | the prisoner a good name, and the latter produced a receipt for the dog as well as | for a tax. _ “I will give you the benefit of the proof and dismiss the case,” sald Judge Mills, | “but the dog was evidently stolen, and as stolen property It will have to be returned | to Mr. Miller.” | Whisky and Cigars Detectives Weedon and Lacey were in | court with a bottle of whisky and a box of | clears, but they never offered to treat. The articles were to be used as evidence against Henry Schaffner, but the latter rendered its use unnecessary, as he plead guilty to a charge of theft and threw himself upon the | merey of the court. The prisoner had only been here about four months. He came from Lynchburg and was employed as bar- | tender in Randolph Warwick's saloon on 12th street. The profits of the establishment | had largely decreased since he was employ- | ed, and the proprietor could not believe that they were lowered so much by the “hard times." Neither did the detectives, and yes- terday they caught the bartender in a trap. “Give me a bottie of whisky,” was the order | of one of them, and he paid's2 for his pur- chase. Then he turned out, while his companion was in a position to sce what followed. ‘The bill of the cash register rang and the figures indicated that a 7 cent purchase had been ade. ‘The $1.25 went to the bartender and ployer got what was left arrest followed and then Mr. War- wick was satisfied to let him go, but Judge Mills fined him $20 or sixty days. “You are charged with having stolen eight chickens, the goods and chattels of A.

Some Alexandrian mechanics who have been employed at Mount Vernon are af- flicted with the fever and ague which pre- vails there. Quinine has always been a staple article of consumption there, and Gen. Washington took his whisky and barks every morning as a preventive of the evil effects from malaria. ‘The Alexandria water works 1s now free for evermore from the possi lution by the waters of Taylor's Run. The supply race is now carried by an aqueduct over the run, and since Saturday the water has been carried on its new course. Mrs. J. R. Heymes of Washington has been buried here, the remains having been brought over. The Heymes family formerly resided on Lee street near the tunnel, and Mrs. Heymes was the daughter of the late James Rudd of this city.
