Four of the vessels engaged in carrying coal for Georgetown to northern ports were destroyed during the blizzards and Iceblock- ades of the winter. They were the Marion F. Sprigue, the Geo. A. McFaddle, the John C. Haynes and the A. J. Pardee. They represented nearly two hundred thousand dollars. The Sprigue went to pleces off the Jersey coast, only a few weeks ago. She was caught in a mass of ice and crushed. The McFaddle was caught in a storm that tore her greatly. She is not a total wreck, but the winds used her bad- ly. She was found by a passing vessel dismantled and flying the distress signal. The Haynes was run into near Hampton Roads. Long Island sound was the scene of the wreck of the Pardee. Several of the boats lost men in their wreck. The Mc- Faddle cost nearly $75,000 to build, and was the handsomest coal boat that came to Georgetown. It is nearly a year now since the S. H. Walker, an old trading vessel, lef? this port and later Baltimore, with a cargo for Boston, but she has never yet reached her destination. She went down with all on ‘board. A closed bottle, containing a writ- ing which stated the Walker was sinking, is all that pertains directly to her fate. The destruction of these five vessels, all In a year, means much to Georgetown. They plied regularly between this and New England ports, and were important factors in the coal trade. Owing to the uncertain and generally recognized dangerous chan- nel of the Potomac, coupled with the Long bridge draw, through which vessels are obliged to pass in order to get here, difii- culty has always been experienced in in- teresting boat owners in the Georgetown trade. Every captain, it is said, carries. his boat through a draw with apprehen- sion. When other ports can be touched then Georgetown is generally ignored. These old regulars, will be missed, and their places may not be easily filled. The greatest drawback shippers have had to contend with for years has been the re- luctance with which vessels come 10 Georgetown. They generally have to come light, ice and lumber being usually the only cargoes brought to the west end, while in tpading with other ports cargoes are both brought and taken away. Struck His Wife With a Stone. When John Thomas, a colored laborer, failed to appear at the supper table last evening his wife went in search of him and found him in company with a colored girl in Cherry alley. The surprised hus- band did not desert the girl for his wife, but told the latter to go home and he would follow when he got ready. A fight was the result and the man struck his wife with a stone. Later in the evening he was arrested by Policeman Fennelly and lock- ed up. Today the case was heard in the Police Court and Judge Miller gave him ninety days in jail. Accidental Drowning. The coroner this morning, after viewing the body of John Jacob Frey, who was drowned in the Chesapeake and Ohio canal yesterday, and hearing the testimony of four witnesses, gave a certificate of ac- cidental drowning. Notes. Barney Williams, who died early yes- terday near Fort Reno, was buried in the afternoon by the health department. He left neither friends nor means. It is definitely settled now that the Rev. Mr. Billheimer will be installed as pastor of the Lutheran Church here next Tues- day. All the Lutheran ministers of Wash- ington are expected to be present. The necessary arrangements are now being made. At the Congress Street Church last night the Young People’s Guild presented an ex- tended and varied program to a large crowd. The “Young Theatricals” of Georgetown, who recently gave an entertainment at Baer’s Hall for charity, turned over to Lieut. Swindells yesterday $15 of the net proceeds of the affair, to be distributed under the direction of the seventh precinct officers. Messrs. Benj. Dreyfuss and Mau- rice Sinscheimer represented the “Young Theatricals.” od John T. West, James J. Brereton and J. Thomas West, jr., have deeded to H. W. Fisher, jr., lot 13, in Leighton’s subdivision of square 75, Beatty & Hawkins’ addition, being house and premises 3309 O street. —_—.__ New York Avenue Church. The annual meeting of the congregation of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church was held last evening in the lecture room. Reports from the various officers and societies were received. During the year the net gain in membership was 92, making a total of 1,178 members. The re- ceipts fcr the year were reported to be $22,561, and the disbursements $19,887. The following officers, with the exception of Mr. Mott, who was chosen to fill a vacancy on the board of elders, were re-elected: Ruling elders, to serve four years, Charles B. Bailey, Samuel F. Phillips and Charles E. Mott; deacons, to serve three years, Frank O. Beckett, James A. Freer and Al- bert Carhart; trustees, to serve three years, James Wi iikinson, Alexander T. Britton and John W.

Bugler Dulcetto of the marine corps sounded calls. ————.—__ , A Lenten Sermon. The third in the series of special Lenten sermons was delivered last evening at St. John’s Church by Rev. Dr. J. N. McVickar of the’ Church of the Holy Trinity, Phila- delphia. The subject was “The Sacrifice and the Fire of God.” 5 AN EX-U. S. SENATOR|ITS TRACES LINGER LONG. - How He is Regarded in the Southern States. RECENT CHANGES FROM THAT SECTION Younger Men With New Policies Coming to the Front. THE OLD LEADERS FAILED The announcement that Senator George of Mississippi will retire from public life at the close of his present term of office re- calls the case of Gen. Walthall of that state, who, two years ago, on account of poor health, left the Senate by resignation. Two years of his term remained, and he had just been re-elected for a full term. His desire was to leave office altogether, but it was decided that he could not resign the full term until he had entered upon it. That term began on the 4th instant, and, as Gen. Walthall’s health is now almost entirely restored, it is thought likely he may reconsider his former intention and return to his senatorial duties. Republi- cans as well as democrats sincerely hope so. He is regarded as one of the most substantial and attractive men the south of late years has called to her service. Changes in Southern Senators. But the case of Senator George presents a different aspect, and is thought to em- phasize an important phase of political development. An era in the south that has preduced great earnestness and activity and recorded many lasting results is rapid- ly drawing to a close. The old leadership is disappearing, either voluntarily, or by death, or by the hard fortunes of war. The Senate particularly is showing the change. Vance and Ransom of North Carolina, Hampton and Butler of South Carolina, Hunton of Virginia, Camden of West Vir- ginia, Coke of Texas, and now, presently, George of Mississippi make up the list. These men were ail prominent in the move- ment that restored the democracy to 1 control in their respective sections in the contests growing out of the reconstruction laws. In all of that period of storm and stress they were in the forefront of the battle. Some of them, indeed, won their national spurs in those engagements, and -made themselves so popular with their peo- ple that for years the hottest rivalries were unable to dislodge them. Hampton, Butler, Hunton, Ransom and Camden have but just been displaced. Coke could have had an- other term had he so signified, and George, it is said, is yielding merely to a desire for rest. But the fact remains that, for one reason or another, the old leaders are go- ing, and very shortly the south will be represented in Congress by new and very much younger men. An old era is closing. A new era is opening. What does this por- tend in the national life? The South’s Old Leadership. It 1s observed that the south’s old lead- ership has failed to score on the national as it did on the local stage. In its own bailiwick it was irresistible. It unmade the old state governments, it set up new and it framed and executed laws that rendered it impossible for the opposition, in an ef- fort extending over full twenty years, to retake any of the lost citadels of power. This showed not only resolution, but the capacity for administering affairs when once cbtained. But the authors of that success, when elevated to national office, found a much more difficult situation con- fronting them, and they have not appeared to master it as they did the other. They have advocated the free coinage of silver, but have not secured it. They have in- sisted that the tariff should be reduced to @ revenue basis, but have been obliged to accept a measure recognizing protection in all of its schedules. They have not been zealous for the civil service law, and yet a President whom they helped to put in office has extended the operations of that law vntil it covers a wide expanse of the public places. This is the record. Will the new men improve upon it? And, if so, will it be by showing more capacity in pushing the old policies or by supporting new pol- icies more in consonance with supposed wants of the new times? A Possible Change of Policy. Some shrewd observers of affairs believe that the south is to become in the near future a potent factor in the support of measures which for years she has been bitterly opposing. She, like other sections of the country, has had valuable instruc- tion from recent experiences. She has been studying business from the most practical standpoint, and she has been aided in this by the men with capital, who have come to her from the north with the view of push- ing their own as well as_her | fortunes. This has brought about, and is still bring- ing about, new conditions, which, of neces- sity, call for new leaders. The old lawyers, with their wide reading on constitutional questions, will, it is predicted, give way to men of a more compact and immediate grasp of affairs, and these, when they get firmly settled in their places, will address themselves more to everyday business than to political discussion. The question with them will be not so much as to what is permissible under the general welfare clause of the Constitution as to what may be enacted into law and executed for the general welfare of the country. So that, as scme men are forecasting the near future, the south is entering on an era where capi- tal is to cut a larger figure in her affairs and where representative men will reflect in their votes and speeches in Congress more the sentiment of the counting room than the court room, more the experience of a close grappling with practical affairs than the learning gathered in libraries and in_law offices. In cases like those of Senators Coke and George there is always respectful curiosity expressed as to how men, after eighteen years of prominent political life at the Capitol here, can bear the thought of re- tirement in some distant town and of tak- ing up again with the private life of home. There is an idea that the change is so great it shuts out the possibility of happi- ness. Statesmen out of a job are supposed to be constantly haunted by a desire to return to office. But some of them are known to enjoy this sort of rest obtained after a long siege at the bellows. A Retired Senator. The figure of an ex-United States Senator in retirement in a small city or town is, as drawn by those familiar with the_life in such places, a very attractive one. He continues to the end of his days a man of the highest local interest. The bar, the clergy and the local press all rally around him. He interprets all questions of nation- al consequence for the community. If he is a lawyer his office 1s the resort of all who share his favor and are interested in the discussion of public affairs. There is never any appeal from his decision. He ecntinues thus, though out of actual com- mission, to lay down the law to a large number of his former constituents. The length of time he may have been absent from Washington never impairs his au- thority. He once was there, and that is enough. Then, at the close, the community yields to profound and unaffected sorrow. Crape on the ex-Senator’s door is the sig- nal for a general suspension of business. The streets are thronged, the local socie- ties and the militia are all called out, a long line is formed and at the head is the local brass band playing a slow march, which temporarily arrests grief and adds a new terror to death. It is not so very dull being an ex-Senator and living among appreciative people. ——+-2+—_____ The Car Jumped the Track. One of the cars on the Chevy Chase rall- road last evening abcut 6 o'clock, while going south, jumped the track near the Woodley road. It plgyed its way through the ground for a distance of some seventy feet before it came to a standstill. There were ten passengers on board, but -besides being shaken up and a few of them re- ceiving some slight bruises none of them were injured. The conductor, Mr. Lyles, who was on the rear platform, was thrown off the car and was rather painfully bruis- ed. The car stopped in such a position as to bleck both tracks and travel on the road was interrupted until the obstruction could be removed. ‘Why the Grip is So Much More Feared Than Many Other Diseases That Affect Us.

One Crim! 1 Convicted and Another is Now Under Arrest. Considerable annoyance has been caused the pension bureau during several months by impostors, persons representing them- selves to be special examiners conriccted with the bureau, who have been operating in the state of Pennsylvania and fleecing unsuspecting pensioners. E A few weeks ago Special Examiner Mar- tin of Harrisburg, Pa., caused the arrest of Joe Greener, alias Joseph Green, alias “Buckskin Joe,” @ notorious criminal and expert in this line, who has already serv- ed three terms in the penitentiary for simi- lar offenses, and the court again sent him to the penitentiary for one year and six months. The bureau has now been advised by Special Examiner Jere Connoily, who is also located in Harrisburg, that he has se- cured the arrest of Barney Kemper, alias Joseph Dolan, alias William Dolan, at Mc- Sherrystown, Adams county, Pa. Doian is alleged to have been calling upon pension- ers in scutheastern Pennsylvania, repre- senting to them that he had been sent out by the pension office to examine them and to see that the board of examining surg: eons has done them justice. He is aiso al- leged to have represented that he had power to increase pensions or reduce them as le found them, and it is charged that after making some memoranda in refer- ence to the pensioner’s case he weuld de- mand a fee of $1.50 to have the matter put on record. Many 21d soldiers, it is said, have paid the small amount demanded,and the impostor has reaped a rich harvest. Felcny is the crime of which he is charged, and the maximum penalty is three years’ imprisonment or $1,000 fine, or both, in the discretion of the court. —_—__+«+_____ IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.

The bills to reorganize the police depart- ment of New York city have been agreed upon by the Lexow committee of the New York senate. The bills are drawn so as to take from the reform mayor of New York any power of appointment in the matter and@ lodge it with the party leaders by re- taining the present heads of the police and doing away with any special reorganization commission to be appointed by the mayor. The bills not only take from the mayor any right to aid in reorganizing the department of police under his control, but make per- manent during his term of office the pres- ent incumbents in offices of police commis- sioners. To that board is given the right to reorganize the department, and their de- cisions in all matters of removal are final, no appeal being allowed from their de- cision to any court. Timber Lands to Be Sold. In accordance with an act passed by the last Congress, the Secretary of the Navy has turned over to the Interior Depart- ment a number of small reservations ly- ing on the coasts of Alabama and Missis- sippi, which were set apart early in the century for the purpose of maintaining an adequate supply of live oak and pine tim- ber for the building of naval vessels. Since the abandonment of wooden naval ships there has been no demand of this kind, and, indeed, if there had been the reserva- ticns could not have met it, for they had been long denuded of their valuable tim- ber by squatters. The Navy Department therefore recommended that the lands be transferred to the Interior Department in order that they might be di of under the law to private persons. The extent of the reservations in Mississippi is about 25,000 acres, while in Alabama there are but 240 acres. There are also similar reser- vations in Florida, but, as it has been re- ported to the department that they still contain valuable timber, the Secretary of the Navy has not yet concluded to surren- der them. —_————_-2-______ A Medal of Honor. A medal of honor has,been awarded to Brevet Major General Sj. Clair Mulhol- land, United States volunteers, now of Philadelphia, for most distinguished gal- lantry et the battle of Chancellorsville, Va., May 4 and 5, 1863, where he remained in command of the picket line, holding the enemy in check all night long, while the federal army was being withdrawn from the field, this service being voluntarily rendered, in full expectation that he would be left in the hands of the enemy.
