E tt, fel-168 jens, 1225 F a Socially the week has been a great suc- cess. Dances and dinners have followed along in a steady procession, and there does not seem to be any decrease in the number of invitations abroad for the next fortnight. The large entertainments are somewhat fewer in number this season, but the giving of dinners has so greatly increased that hospitality is now in its most delightful phase to those who dislike the big crushes and who like to give and like to go to din- rers. Miss Herbert's two cotillions, the first of which has been set for the 10th and the second for the 14th, come just in the nick of time, for the season of the dancing events will shortly come to a close. ‘There is still @ dinner dance, another Bachelors, another Army and Navy and last of all the Washing- ton Assembly. Wedding bells will also be heard before the season closes with en- couraging frequency. Three or four matri- monial events are set for the 12th, and that of Miss Fuller and Mr. Beecher on the 17th. Luncheons are very numerous just at pres- ent, and popular girls, while accepting for almest every day, often have several bids for the same date. The Secretary of War and Mrs. Lamont entertained at dinner last night the Vice President, Mrs. Grant, Senator and Mrs. Hawley, Mr. and Mrs. Widener of Philadel- phia, Gen. and Mrs. Moore, the Brazilian minister and Mrs. Mendonca, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Townsend, Mrs. Erastus Corning of Albany and Senator Allison. The table bad as a centerpiece a silver vase filled with white roses and Farlayense ferns. Miss Eleanor Cochran of NewYork, daugh- ter of Wm. F. Cochran of that city, Is now visiting Mrs. Lamont. The Argentine charge d'affaires and Mrs. Dominguez gave a handsome dinner last night in honor of the Secretary of State and Mrs. OIncy. The other guests were the At- torney General and Mrs. Harmon, the Chile- an minister and Mrs. Gana, the Spanish minister and Mrs. Dupuy de Lome, Mrs. Slater, Miss Gwynn, Miss Murphy, Baron yon Ketteler, Marquis Malaspina and Prince Raoul Wrede of the Austrian legation. Lilies of the valley were the flowers in the centerpiece and other adornments of the table. Dr. and Mrs. Bryant of New York will be guests of President and Mrs. Cleyeland next week and a number of entertainments will te given in their honor by other friends here. Judge Advocate General and Mrs. Lieber gave a dinner last night in honor of Gen. and Mrs. Miles. The other guests were Gen. and Mrs. Breckinridge, Justice and Mrs. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Mce- Cauley, Senator and Mrs. Elkins and Col. and Mrs. J. M. Wilson. s The French ambassador and Mrs. Pate- notre welcomed hundreds of their friends last night to one of the brilliant events which have made the winter notable. The changes that have been wrought in the embassy by the various improvements dur- ing the past autumn have greatly contrib- uted to the comfort and pleasure of mov- ing about in the parlor suite. The walls are hung with eastern fabrics, rugs and embroidered draperies almost entirely, and splendid tapestries ornament the walls of the ball room. Palms:and plants were the appropriate finish to these backgrounds of rich color. The balconies at the back were inclosed, hung with red cottons covered with smilax boughs, and gave additional space, especially at supper time. An or- chestra, stowed away in a niche between the ball room and supper room, played dur- ing the evening. In the dining room were small tables, at which first the cabinet en- joyed their supper. Supper was served all evening. The ambassador and Mrs. Pate- notre received in the middle drawing room. ‘The latter, whose charms of mind and per- son make her a universal favorite, was elegantly gowned in white satin and tulle, with touches of blue velvet in the adorning of the bodice. She wore superb diamond ornaments. The diplomatic corps was fully represented, as was senatorial and resi- dent society. All society seemed represented in the throngs of sgreeable people who passed ever Senator Morfill’s threshold yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Morrill and Miss Swan, with the charming graciousness with which they are arsociated in the minds of all who know them, recelved in the front drawing room, having in line with them Miss Smal- ley and Miss Morrill, who are now their guests. Miss Powers, Miss Chandler and Mrs. Clifford Walton were also doing the honors, the latter two in the dining room at the refreshment table. Senator Morrill and Mr. James Morrill were in the enter- taining group, and few entered their home without having a pleasant word of wel- come from them. The rooms were decked with roses in great quantity and beauty. In the dining room there were pink roses in a wicker basket, as a centerpiéce, on the table, to which all the dainty appointments conformed in color. The Vice President and nearly every Senator and family paid their respects to Senator and Mrs. Morrill during the afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. George Alfred Townsend entertained handsomely last Thursday evening at their residence, 229 Ist street rortheast, a large number of friends. It was the anniversary of the birth of the dis- tinguished jourralist, and every one pres- ent joined gladly in drinking his health and wishing him many more years of prosper!- ty, happiness and usefuiness. Mr. and Mrs. Townsend had with them on the occasion referred to their son-in-law and daugiter, Mr. and Mrs. Bonaventure of New York. Among the invited ones also were Mr. cnd Mrs. V. G.

James Brown, the young colored man who was convicted several days ago of manslaughter ,in stabbing’ Jchn Henry Brown, also colored, to death on the 26th of last August, on 9th near P streets, was sentenced today by Judge Cole to ten years at hard labor in the Albany peni- tentiary. Brown's counsel, Mr. Thos. C. Taylor, made a strong plea for a light sentence, stating that the man had never been in trouble before. Judge Cole, however, remarked that Brown was a very fortunate man, the jury having, in his opinion, taken a very merciful view of the case. The court stated that he had, indeed, expected a verdict of guilty of murder. ‘He regretted that there is not here more than one grade of murder, for he was confident that if there had been the jury would have heid Brown guilty of murder in the second de- Bree at least. The evidence in the case would, said Judge Cole, have sustained a verdict of guilty of murder, and as he had made it a rule to impose the extreme penalty in such cases he proposed to give Brown such a sentence. He thereupon sentenced him to ten years in the Albany penitentiary at hard labor. —— FICTITIOUS CRIMINALS. Young Men Who Tell Ugly Stories About Themselves for a Purpose. Inspector -Hollinberger has again heard from Jack Langdon, Richard O'Neill and Frank Allen, the men who managed to get themselves arrested and cared for here on suspicion of being implicated in a Dakota post office robbery. How they got away from Camden, N, J., is not known, but now they are in Burlington, N. J., and Justice Charles B. Smith addressed the letter to Inspector Hollinberger asking for informa- tion concerning them. Frank Allen, it ap- pears, is in custody there and has “peach- ed” on his companions, probably in the same way he did before, for the purpose of having them cared for and furnished trans- portation. According to the information furnished by the New Jersey justice, the men broke into a fishing house, between this city and Benning, and they also stole two or three bicycles. There is no fishing house in the section mentioned, and the police here are certain that they stole no bicycle, but are telling this story only because they want to get trarsporiation back here. Inspector Hollinberger has had enough of the men and does not want them returned. In his letter to Justice Smith he is going to suggest that the men be dumped in Dele- ware, where they will be given a taste of the whipping post for such treatment, which he thinks will be more beneficial than any- thing else. He thinks that if the men are sentenced to different terms in prison they may be separated, and the authorities of other places will not be troubled with them for some time. If they return here they will probably get a heavy sentence, eee Held on Suspicion, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jackson, the young colored men who came over here from Baltimore a week ago and were ar- rested, were tried in the Police Court yes- terday. Hamilton, who formerly resided here, left this city after he had served time for larceny, and the police had informa- tion that he had been making flying trips here.
