PRUD'HOMME, 307 D st. aw. _ap2-Im* ‘The fifth annual congress of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revo- lution, which began its sessions at the Ar- lington yesterday morning, closed last night amid the eloquence of tongue, the rapture of music, the flutter of silken flags and the perfume of spring blossoms. It was a reception to the delegates to the congress by the District of Columbia So- ciety of Sons of the American Revolution. It was held in the parlors of the Arling- ton Hotel. The mirrors were half veiled in national ensigns, the mantels were planted with trophies of the florist’s art and ribbons of evergreen were festooned with fantastic grace around the gilded mir- ror frames and the glittering chandeliers. A section of the Marine Band played in the banquet hall. The parlors and the corri- dors leading to them were thronged long before the reception hour. After the gala crowd had shifted round for an hour and become acquainted with each other, Gen. Geo. H. Shields mounted the rostrum and introduced Gen. J. C. Breckinridge as mas- ter of ceremonies. The latter gentleman said some pleasant things about a feast of reason, and introduced Gen. Porter as a man “whom everybody knew only to love.” The general told a fund of stories that set the people in a roar. His re-elec- tion as president general reminded him of @ prophesy once made of him by a gypsy palmist, to whom, being a woman, he had given his hand. She sai ou have had a great deal of bad luck, but this is going to change; you will have worse.’ There was noticeable, he said, a mighty awakening of patriotic sentiment. Thi: in a measure, might be due to the quadr centennial and to the several centennial celebrations recently held, but he thought it due mainly to the organization of pa- triotic societies. A great many revolution- ary records had been unearthed of late. For the first time in the history of the country the true history of the revolution- ary war was being written. It was a price- less heritage to be an American.

Two Negroes Charged W' [bh Hetmous Howe, U. 8. A.; Gen. J. J. Dana, Crimes in Virginia. Mrs. J. B. Johnson, H. Peale, Col. Va., caused by an attempted criminal as- sault made by Luther Ferguson, colored, aged nineteen years, on a very sweet and attractive little white girl of eight years, living with her parents at White Neck, Mathews county. The offense was com- mitted about sunset Saturday, and Fergt- son was arrested and lodged in jail. An examination was had yesterday in the office of the commonwealth’s attorney be- fore Justices Apperson and James. The sobs and tears of the little Innocent were most affecting, as she detailed the crime attempted to be perpetrated upon her. The accused was sent on for trial at the June term of the county court and carried to Norfolk by the sheriff for safe keeping. Spiller, the negro in jail at Staunton charged with the outraging and murder of little Lottie Rowe, was not lynched labt night. Troops were ordered to Staunton by the governor. The grand jury promptly indicted Spiller and a petit jury was secur- ed. His trial will take place today. A ver- dict is expected promptly. —2ee The Well Arctic Expedition.
