Senator and Mrs. Sherman Entert ed at Dinner Last Night— Personal Notes, The eabinet receptions yesterday were not jams by any manner of means, but the weather did not perceptibly lessen the number of those who were making party calls or doing the rounds for the pleasure of presenting their friends or guests to the cabinet hostesses. Mrs. Gresham was agreeably assisted by Mrs. Sartoris, Mrs. Fuller, Mrs. Spalding and Miss Sheridan. Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle extended a warm welcome to their callers, and the reception, which was the last formal one Mrs. Carlisle will hold this season, was one.of the most pleasant of the series. She was assisted by Mrs. McAdoo, Miss Hamlin, Miss Helm, Miss Rechester, Miss Morgan, Miss Patterson and Miss Hatch. In the dining room Miss Mira Noyes sat. at the head of the table to pour the coffee and Miss Griffith did the honors of the tea tray.

Jebb of Buffalo, Mrs. Alex. Legare, Miss Lockwood, Miss Scott, Miss Gray, Miss Rodgers, Miss Mendonca, Miss Kelton, Miss Cassels, Miss Patterson, Miss Edie, Miss Ruggles and Miss Carscn. In the dining room Mrs. O'Reilly sat at the head of a daintily set table and brewed cups of tea for the callers. Mrs. Bissell's reception, as usual, was a crowded one, where friends met friends and a most cordial atmesphere prevailed. There was no resisting the big fire on the hearth, and nobody tried after the hostess suggested it, anyway. Scciety and politics were discussed before its warmth and cheeriness. Mrs. Bissell had with her Mrs. McLean, Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Winslow, Mrs. and Miss Stokes, Miss McCammon, Miss Fowler, Miss Ledyard, Miss Murray Led- yard of Cazenovia, N.Y.,Miss Adams, Miss Victoria Emory, Miss Goodwin and Miss Kennedy.

Miss Herbert welcomed many callers also, and was delightfully assisted by Mrs. Cobb of Alabama, Mrs. Reamey, Miss Harring- ton, Mrs. Hugh Legare, Miss Adams, M:ss Perkins and Miss Tardy. Miss Morton resumed her receptions yes- terday, and was assisted by Miss Cressy of Detroit, who, to the regret of the many acquaintances she has made here, will conclude her visit to her cousin in a few days.

The destruction by fire of the old mansion at Oxon Hill, Md., opposite Alexandria, or Oxon Hall, which is said to be its original name, removes one of the old landmarks which are famous in this part of the coun- t The fir: was discovered early yester- day morning by the tenant, Mr. Allen, and such was the rapid progress of the flames that his family had barely time to escape with their lives. As there was no means of putting out the fire, the building and its contents were entirely destroyed, the 16ss being about $5,000. The house is said to have cost $75,000, and was built in the latter part of the seventeenth century by Col. John F. Addison, the first of the name who came to this country. For five gen- erations the property passed from father to son, when it was sold in the early part of this century by Rev. Walter Addison to Thomas Berry. In recent years it was known as the Berry mansion. Within the past twenty years it was purchased by Taylor Suit, who sold it a few years ago to the present owners, a syndicate com- posed of Mr. Havenner and others. In the unpublished notes on the diary of Gen. Washington prepared by Dr. J. M. Toner of this city occurs the following: “The elder Mr. Addison, who founded Oxon Hall, and who built the fine mansion there near what is now the Godding Croft, was a graduate of Oxford, and named his es- tate after that university. He sided with the crown during the revolutionary war, and Washington gave him at one time a safe conduct beyond the American lines. He afterward returned and remained in Maryland until his death. ‘Addison's’ at the time that Gen. Washington first took up his residence at Mt. Vernon—the Ad- dison estate extended down below Fort Foote—comprehended all that part of Prince George’s county, in Maryland, opposite Alexandria. A ferry ran fronr* Addison's, in Maryland, to Alexandria. Oxon run, near Shepherd's, in the southern part of the District of Columbia, took its name from this estate, and not from Oxon Hill, as people suppose. a pen TWO DEATHS FOLLOWED. Fatalities of the Disastrous Fire at Rockville. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. J ROCKVILLE, Md., February 7—The disastrous fire of yesterday mofning, which destroyed the store and warehouse cf W. W. Welsh and the dwelling house of Frank Rabbitt, and during which three persons were badly injured by the falling of a chimney, was followed by two deaths. Charles Eagle, son of Lycurgus Eagie, a former citizen of Gaithersburg, who was caught under the falling chimney, after the accident was removed to the residence of Dr, Edward Anderson, adjacent to the scene of the fire, where he was attended by the doctor, assisted by all the medical fraternity of the town, byt their efforts to save the life of the young man were un- availing, and he died about halfpast 7 o'clock p. m. After his death his remains were removed to the residence of his fam- ily in this place. At half-past S$ the end came to Frank Morgan, son of Mordézai a magistrate of this town for ears, despite all that could be ac- complished by medical aid. Deceased was in the thirty-third year of his age, and was for some years in the employ of Mr. R. G. Bouis, in the tin and stove business in Washington. The colored boy iajured by the same accident was taken care of, and at latest account was thought to be in a fair way of recovery. This fire and the sad deaths accompanying it have cast a gloom over the entire community, and are the subject of remark in all circles. Much sympathy is expressed for the families and friends of the unfortunate young men, who lost their lives in their effort to save the property of others. This disaster has also aroused the citizens to the necessity of providing a better fire organization for the town. There is talk of calling a public meeting to take steps in this direction. eae DISTRICT GOVERNM ‘T. Eastern Dispensary. The Commissioners have transmitted to Chairman Williams of the subcommittee on District appropriations of the House the needs of the Eastern Dispensary, an iusti- tution which has been in useful existence for several years. It is managed by some of the best citizens, ladies and gentlemen of high standing, who have carried it on without much aid from the public funds. For a year or two the Commissioners have devoted $500 per annum of the appropria- tion for the relief of the poor for that in- stitution. It has recently come to the at- tention of the Commissioners that the lady managers are desirous of establishing an emergency hospital service for the eastern part of the city of Washington, and with this end in view they ask for an appropria- tion of $1,000 for the fiscal year 1896. A Nuisance. Health Officer Woodward has reportd to the Commissioners that the perforated cover to the manhole in the sidewalk on the south side of M street between !7th and 18th streets causes foul odors to arise, and is thereby a nutsance. An Additional Private, W. H. Schombert has been appointed an additional private of the metropolitan police force, for three years, for duty from R to T street and 19th street to New Hampshire avenue, to serve without com- pensation from the District. Trustee Appointed. Rev. Mackay-Smith has been appointed by the Commissioners a trustee of the Columbia Hospital for Women, vice Re W. A. Bartlett, resigned: ee eee Army Orders. The leave ef absence granted Second Lieut. Samuel B. Arnold, first cavalry, is extended twenty days. Capt. Ira MacNuit, ordnance department, will visit the works of the Carpenter Steel Company, Reading, Pa., or official business pertaining to the inspection of armoer- piercing projectiles. Second [ieut. Edmund L. Butts, twenty- first infantry, will be relieved from duty at Columbus barracks, Ohio, and will join his company. DEATH OF COL. F. A. SEELZ. Col. F. A. Seely died at his residence, 619 19th street northwest, last evening at 9:10 o'clock. The immediate cause of his death was apoplexy, though he had been in bad health for some time. Franklin A. Seely was born in Pennsyl- vania in 1834, graduated at Yale College in 1855, served in the army as assistant quartermaster of the volunteers during the war of the rebellion, and was discharged in 1867 with the brevet rank of lieutenant colonel. In 1875 he was appointed assist- ant examiner in the patent office, and in April, 1877, chief clerk of that office. He held the latter place till June, 1830, when he surrendered it to accept that of prin- cipal examiner, and was put in charge of a new division formed of the classes that had hitherto constituted the philosophical division, except electricity, which there- after constituted a separate division. To Col. Seely’s division were added trade marks, till then a division by themselves. His duties remained the same until a year ago, when they were lightened by the erec- tion of his work on applications for Patents into a separate division, leaving him only trade marks. When, in 1877, the United States acceded to the International Union for the Protection of Industrial Property, the task of reviewing the con- vention of Paris was assigned to Examiner Seely, and his interpretations of that in- strument have been accepted as correct both here and abroad. Since then it has been the custom to refer to him all ques- tions arising in the office, or referred to it, concerning international relations, and during the terms of Secretaries Bayard and Blaine the State Department often sought the help of his opinions. In 1890 the latter designated him as a delegate to the international conference at Madrid. Col. Seely was for many years an officer in the Anthropological Society at Washing- ton, and a contributor to its proceedings. Several of his papers relating to the phil- osophy of invention have been published, In 1891 he delivered an address at the patent centennial on “The International Protection of Industrial Property” and a paper of similar purport in the patent «on- gress held at Chicago in 1893 in connection with the Columbian exposition. A care- fuily prepared collection of all the treaties and conventions concerning patents snd trade marks to which this country is a party was presented by him to that con- gress. ——__ A Crusade at Omaha. A crusade of a character similar to the New York affair is threatened in Omaha. It is directed by Rev. Alexander F. Irvine of New York, who claims to have been one of Parkhurst’s most active Heutenan‘s. The grand jury convened recently and the reformers have had many prominent per- sons subpoenaed. One resvlt has already been noticed in the abandoned women scattering from the prescribed limits pre- viously observed all over the city, to the alarm of the respectable element.’ Among the disclosures the committee have made are that several of the policemen who have served long terms on the force are reputed to _be worth from $50,000 to $100,000. Many officers upon entering the department were comparatively poor, but now support hand- some bark accounts. Whether it can be shown that the bank accounts grew in in- creased real estate values or from bribery remains to be proven. On the other hand it is quite well known that many officers were very well fixed long before they went on the force. ———ees.
