The examination closed yesterday. Two hun- dred and ninety-seven persons have ap- plied, of whom ninety-one were examined yesterday. About half the applicants are for clerk places and the other half for car- rier positions. About one-fifth are coiored, evenly divided between the clerk and car- rier classes. The board of examiners for the post office has been reorganized, Mr. Seymour W. Tulloch, cashier of the office, and Mr. J. W. Duvall, assistant cashier, having retired from the board by resigna- tion. Mr. Tulloch has been examiner since the classification of the post office under the civil service rules in 1983, first as secretary and afterward as chairman. In ‘heir stead, upon the recommendation of the postmaster, the civil service commission has designated Mr. E. A. Heilig and Capt. L. E. Buck as examiners. The third member is Mr. W. D. Peachy, superintendent of the registry di- vision, who has served on ‘he board since 1889, and who has also been its secretary for the past four years. In addition to these there are two other members of the board— Mr. J. J. Shrugrue and Miss F. L. Hamil- ton. —_— THEY WILL CELEBRATE. Sens of the Revolution Will Go to Alexandria This Year. Washington's birthday will be celebrated this year by the District Society of the Sons of the Revolution by a trip to Alexandria, where services in the old church will be held and the members given a chance to look at the pew in which Gen. Washington once sat. ‘The trip to Alexandria includes, besides a short address at the church, an inspection of the Braddock House and afterward a col- lation, at which music and perhaps some patriotéc songs will form part of the enter- tainment. A committee composed of Sur- geon Gen. Wyman, Capt. Leng of the army, Capt. Whipple and Mr. Henry G.Kemp have the arrangements for the celebration in charge. —— ‘The Keefer Divorce Suit. In the case of Cordelia E. Keefer agt. Joseph J. Keefer, Mr. H. T. Wiswall has filed a motion to vacate the pro confesso of June 9, 1882. The defendant, in support of the motion, files an affidavit that they were married June 1, 1875, when they were quite young, and he did all in his power to make her life comfortable. He states that with- out any just cause she abandoned and de- serted him on July 4, 1881, and he has un- successfully made efforts to induce her to return; that she filed her bill for divorce April 1882, and an examiner was gp- pointed, but he never saw the bill, and was seeking to induce her to return. Through ignorance, he did not answer, and he could have won her back but for the advice of her family. The case is still on the docket, incomplete, the last entry being August 13, ——— In Memory of Mr. Moss. Memorial services commemorative of the life and work of the late Richard T.

P. Church is now busily engaged in going among the members of the congre- gation and securing quorters for the repre- sentatives of the 130 charges who will at- tend the conference to convene shortly at Dr. W. R. Graham's church. In addition to the 130 pastors, there will be as many delegates. Some of the married ministers will bring their wives. The visiting clergy- men will find a hearty welcome. A New Org: Motor. The work of putting in the six-inch organ motor at the Congress Street M. P. Church that the changing of the water service from the high to the low made necessary for the proper running of the church organ has been completed. A self-acting valve to regulate the water pressure has been con- pected with the machinery of the organ. ‘The motor, known as “The Jake,” is one of the largest made. A Public Meeting. Dr. S. W. Ritchie and Mr. William H. Manogue, the president and secretary of the West Washington Citizens’ Association, have issued cards calling upon the people of the town to assemble in mass meeting tomorrow night at 7:30 at the hall of the First Co-operative Building Association,for the purpose of discussing the railroad ques- tion, the proposed Potomac ferry, George- town charities, and other questions or vital interest to the section west of Rock creek. Property Transactions. Real estate yesterday changed hands in Georgetown as follows: F, M. Detweiler and C. W. Simpson sold to A. T. Britton all Qf lot 299 and lots 296 and 297 of Detwei- ler’s sub, being improved property on the north side of P street between 27th and 28th streets; Ann Offutt transferred to Francis V. Offutt part of lots 40 and 41 of Offutt’s sub, on Scott street between Valley and 32d, and W. R. King sold to F. V. Offutt parts of lots 64 and 65, square 76, Beatty & Haw- kins’ addition to Georgetown,being the west two houses of “Libbey row,” on the north side of O near 35th street. Things have be- gun to assume a very encouraging aspect, and real estate men are anticipating big spring deals. Paragraphs of Interest. The prospect of the improvement in the spring of Prospect avenue extended is giv- ing satisfaction to all public-spirited citi- zens. Another opening to the Conduit road beyond has not only been long desired, but needed. Its present condition retards the extension of building and blocks the Canal road, making it at all times unfit for pleas- ure travel. The police yesterday placed under arrest and later turned over to the United States authorities a woman named Catherine Mur- phy, who is wanted on the charge of having perjured herself in a case involving a pen- sion. The Greenlees house on the heights is now complete, and preliminary steps toward the erection of a new road at the corner of 3ist and Q streets are being taken. The Altair Cycle Club members will en- gage in a paper chase on Wasington’s birthday, starting at 1:30 o'clock from i2us 82d street. This being something new to cyclists, it will command, in addition to the usual pleasure attendant on runs, the inter- est due a novelty. Farmers from the county to the west of Georgetown report that the dogs have of late killed a number of sheep and swine. The $29,000 police station here is said to be developing imperfections in the construc- tion. Mr. L. T. Cartwright of O street, who was stricken with paralysis several weeks ago, is able to move around a little now. Yesterday, at Tenleytown, Mr. Edward F. Chappell died.

Mrs. Taylor and several children were at home at the time and when it was supposed that everybody was out of the house the mother realized that an infant was still in the house and heroically dashed through the flames and seizing the babe brought it out. Both mother and child were somewhat. burned. The flames burned with such rapidity that but little was saved and the adjoining houses were also damaged. The loss was about $5,0U0. Another Old Resident Gone. Leonard Werle died this morning at o'clock, at his residence, 729 2d street north- west. About a week ago he contracted a heavy cold,which developed into pneumonia, and he quietly passed away early this morn- ing. The deceased has been a resident of this city since 1856, having been born in Hessen Darmstadt, Germany. For a num- ber of years he was assistant armorer of the U. S. marine barracks. He leaves a wife, a son and three daughters to mourn his loss. His funeral will take place Satur- day morning at 9:30 o'clock, and the inter- ment will be in St. Mary’s cemetery. ge ae Coming I. 0. 0. Anniversary. The seventy-fifth anniversary of the I. O. O.

The Members of the Alumnae Associa- tion of Notre Dame. With merry music and plenty of gaiety the Alumnae Reading Circle of the Notre Dame School held their first reception Tues- day night at the Notre Dame Hall, corner of North Capitol and Myrtle streets ‘north- west. The reception was a most successful one from every standpoint; the hall was artistically decorated, while the young ladies, prettily attired in evening costume, welcomed their guests most royally. Music was the great feature of the even- ing. A splendid musical selection was given by the Young Men's Catholic Club Orches- tra, consisting of E. P. Schwartz, president; Willjam H, Lepley, Joseph W. McCann, W. S. McCarthy, B. J. Isemann, F. L. Joannini, D. M. Gatti, I. Scott, George Miller, A. J. Gill and Edward De Grain. A sextet of the alumnae came next, giving a couple of pret- ty renderings, and composed of Misses O'Neal, Allan, Jordan, Meehan, Fowler and Flannery. Mr. Goodchild followed with a bass solo; the orchestra gave another selec- tion, after which a quartet, in which figured Misses Lackey and Daly, and Messrs. Fen- nell and Goodchild, sang some pretty songs in an equally pretty manner. The program was concluded with a tenor solo from Mr. Fennell. The accompanist of the evening was Miss Kate Lackey. The ushers were from the Young Men's Catholic Club and consisted of Messrs. John S. Moran, D. J. Downing, Van Reuth, R. Lehman, T. Gin- ney, B. Lehman, Fitzgerald and Lackey. Father Gilespie, Father Cunningham and Father Byrnes, the priests of the parish of St. Aloysius’ Church were present and en- joyed the occasion exceedingly, as did all the others there. Toward the close of the evening a banquet was spread, which was duly apprectated by the guests. The officers of the Alumnae Reading Circle of the Notre Dame School are Miss Kate Lackey, presi- dent; Mrs. K. Falvey, vice president; Miss Mary Coyle, treasurer, and Miss Annie Ready, secretary. > THE LAST SAD RITES. Funeral of Capt. Mannix This After- noon at the Marine Barracks. Funeral cervices over the remains of the late Capt. D. Pratt Mannix were held to- day at the marine barracks, All the de- tails of the arrangements were military, and the body was conveyed to the place of interment in Congressional cemetery by the marines. The death of Capt. Mannix will be most keenly felt among the older officers of the U. S. marine corps. Serving his entire career in that historic and efficient arm of the service, he was zealous in maintaining the high reputation which it held. In 1873 he married Miss Stevens, daughter of W. H. Stevens, one of the most enterprising merchants and public- spirited citizens of Washington. Mr. Stevens belonged to one of the oldest fami- lies of the capital, and was the associate of the Brents, Wallachs, Blairs, Rives and other well-known citizens. Mrs. Mannix accompanied her husband to China, where she studied the language and gathered many interesting relics of that ancient empire. She assisted her hus- band in much of his work of detail, and was in entire accord with his interest in advancing the marine corps to the highest point of efficiency. Mrs. Mannix has a daughter, Romaine, who made her debut at the beginning of the present season, and a son. > PAINTERS AND DECORATORS. 1 Convention at Ba Delegates Coming Here. ‘The tenth annual convention of the Mas- ter Painters and Decorators’ Association of the United States was opened Tuesday morning at Hazazer’s Hall, Baltimore. The following officers reported on the work of the association in their respective cities: F. A. Ballinger, Philadelphia, president; J. M. Hodges, Washington, vice president; Fran- cis F. Black, Philadelphia, secretary and treasurer, and the following members of the executive board: A. 8, Barber, Jersey City, N. J.; F. J. Brocas, Louisville, Ky.; Thomas A. Brown, Washington; M. J. Dougherty, Chicago; J. B, Hand, Brookline, Mass.; Walter Reld, New York city; James Roach, Detroit, Mich.; John Stuten, Pitts- burg, Pa.; John Theobald, Cincinnati, and Herman Hopkins, St. Louis. All noted the prosperity. of the organization. The morning .session of the second day of the convention was principally taken up with the report of the committee on na- tional system of measurement, continued from the last convention. At the afternoon session the committee on lead tests reported through its chair- man, Mr. Thomas A. Brown. Papers were read from Peter Long, St. Paul; R. H. Stewart, Chicago; James Sheddon, St. Louis; W. Mackey, Brooklyn; Charles’ Mac- nichol, Washington, and the chairman, giv- ing results of various tests made by them. After the convention adjourns, a large num- ber of the visitors intend visiting Washing- ton in a body before they return to their homes. The delegates from Washington are How- ard Markwood and Charles Macnichol. C. P. Crooms, C. T. Cromer, J. P. Gwynne, Jesse Mina, F. 8. Newman, also of this city, have been present. a aes THE PARTIES UNKNOWN. imore— The Jury Found Who Was Responsi- ble for Jones’ Death. Coroner Woodward held an inquest yes- terday afternoon over the body of Thomas C. Jones, who was found dead Tuesday morning at the house of Francis Leonard, 110 H street southwest, and, after a careful investigation, the jury found that the man came to his death as a result of a fracture of the skull inflicted at the hands of parties unknown to the jury. The inquest brought out some rather curious testimony, and the case was complicated by the fact that Leonard had told two conflicting stories of the incidents connected with Jones’ death. Officer Knopfer, who was patrolling the vicinity of Leonard’s house the night of the death, is investigating, and should he un- earth any further facts the coroner will re- open the case. Jones, who was sixty-seven years old and a hard-working man, in the employ of the District, lived at Leonard's house and gro- cery store. Jones was a soldier for over twenty-tive years. The officers finally re- fused to re-enlist him because of his age. He was a member in good standing of John A. Rawlins Post, G.A.R., and was a Mason. ese BIRD BUTCHERY.

Sergeant Daly Says That He Intends to Apply for a Warrant for Mr. Shea. . Maria Shea will not be tried for selling lquor at her home on Maryland avenue, and the reason for it is that Mr. S. T. Thomas, the attorney for the District, who signed the paper charging the weman with the violation, changed his mind in the mat- ter and directed Mr. Pugh, his assistant, to enter a nolle pros. in the case. The question of the issuance of the war- rant in the first instance caused some Ill feeling. Sergt. Daly went to the Police Court late one afternoon to get the war- rant. The court had adjourned, and Mr. Pugh, who has charge of this particular business, was not at the court building, and Sergt. Daly went across to Mr. Thomas’ office, and this official states that he at- tached his name to the paper in a mechani- cal way. Having the warrant, the officer was ready to make the arrest. He had already se- cured evidence against Mrs. Shea, so he claims, Este ape the raid for the pur- pose of obi ing additional testimony, if Possible. The fact that John Shea, the husband, was serving time in the work house when the warrant was issued is well known. It was on Friday afternoon that the warrant was issued, and that night the raid was made. About the time the case was called in the Police Court Saturday morning, af- ter publicity had been given the matter, the President was probably affixing his sig- nature to the paper releasing from custody John Shea, the man who had been con- victed of being an habitual violator of the liquor law. As already stated, Mr. Thomas changed his mind about the prosecution of the wife. He said he signed the paper in a mechani- cal way, and upon looking into the matter he discovered that a mistake. had been made, and he directed Mr. Pugh to enter a nolle pros. in the case. What Mr. Thomas Says. To a Star reporter Mr. Thomas said that Mrs. Shea being a married woman and not living separate and apart from her hus- band is clearly not Mable. She is his agent in the eyes of the law, he said, and the weight of the authorities clearly shows that she cannot be held responsible in a legal way. “There is no doubt about the husband's Mability,” he said when questioned by a re- porter, “Should Sergt. Daly apply for a war- rant for John Shea would the warrant be issued?” he was asked. “The warrant will certainly be issued,” was his response, “if Sergt. Daly applies for it at the Police Court.” Mr. Thomas said that the disposition of the case in this manner results from the legal responsibility of the husband and not because of anything done at the time the warrant was issued nor because of the lack of proof. According to instructions, Mr. Pugh went into Judge Miller's court this morning, and, holding in his hand the information in the case, said he desired to enter a nolle pros. Col. Christy, counsel for Mrs. Shea, said that his client was present in court with her witnesses and was ready for a full investigation of the case. But he was will- ing to accept the action of Mr. Pugh. At the same time he said he wished the court could give the action of the attorney the effect of an acquittal. This Judge Miller said he could not give without a hearing. Mr. Pugh’s Comments, Mr. Pugh, the assistant attorney, said to a Star reporter that while he thought Mr. Thomas’ interpretation of the law was cor- rect, he would liked to have tried Mrs, Shea after the arrest had been made. “But,” he said, “the arrest was an unfortunate affair, The husband Is clearly able under the law, but as he was in the work house at the time of the alleged violation, I think it would be hard to secure a dozen men who would vote to convict him.”’ Sergeant Daly was seen by a Star re- porter soon after he reached the Police Court this morning, and he expressed sur- prise at the action of the prosecuting offi- cer in disposing of the case in the manner stated. “I would like to know what this mean: he said to a reporter. “I have as good evi- dence in the case as was ever presented in court.” “How many witnesses have you?” ight good witnesses,” was his response. “Among them are men and women of char- acter that cannot be questioned.” “Can you prove any sales by them?” “Why, certainly { can. I can prove that liquor was purchased and paid for in the place.” Sergeant Daly was told by the reporter of what Mr. Thomas had said, and he then said that he would certainly apply for a warrant for John Shea, although he would see his superior officer, Lieut. Vernon, be- fore doing so. At the trial of John Shea he said the defense made an effort to put the whole matter on the wife as the re- sponsible person, but failed.
