During the period there were six Inauguration days. Grant, In 1873; Hayes, in 1877, and Cleve- land, in 1S%5, had fair days. Garfield, in iSS1; Harrison, in 1889, and Cleveland in 1893, had stormy days. The table which accompanies Mr. Moore's letter shows the details of the weather on the inauguration days as follows: When Grant was inaugurated the second time, in 1873, the maximum temperature was %, the minimum 4; a wind from the northwest reached a maximum velocity of twenty- four miles an hour; it was clear. Old resi- dents of Washington well remember how bitterly cold the day was. Many men marching in the parade dropped out on ac- count of the intense cold, and at the in- auguration ball held that night, in a frame structure erected for the purpose in Judi- clary Square at the intersection of E street, which then ran directly through the res- ervation and was fenced on either side and 4th street northwest, women danced in their wraps and men in their overcoats, and dishes at supper, intended to be served hot, were ice like when they reached the table. On Hayes’ inauguration day, 1877, the highest temperature was 56 and the lowest The wind blew 30 miles an hour from the northwest. Taere was light rain from 12:45 to 7 a.m., but the rest of the day was clear. March 4, 1881, when Garfield came in, the thermometer registered 36 maximum’ and 29 minimum. The wind was west and northwest and reached 2 velocity of 20 miles. It was partly clcudy, with snow and rain until 10 a.m. Cleveland's first inauguration day in, 1885 was almost perfect. The temperaiure was 58 high and 36 low. An 11-mile-an-hour breeze blew from the north. When Mr. Harriscn was ineugurated in 1889 there was rain all day, and it had been raining for two days before steadily. Decorations were ruined and drenched crowds watched bedraggled thousands march over soaked concrete. The maxi- mum temperature was 44; minimum, 34, and the northeast wind reached a velocity of 28 miles an hour. Cleveland's second inauguration day, in 1893, was ushered in with a snow squall from the northwest, during which the wind biew 3% miles an hour. The thermometer vas at freezing point, 32 at its highest and at its lowest. The sky cleared about 1 o'clock p.m., and when the inaugural pro- cession moved from the Capitol everybody took it to be another instance of “Clev: land luck,” and this remark was general. ‘The last three fourths of March have been very pleasant days, there being a shower oy early in the morning of the day in Ohio Troops Coming. Geners1 H. A. Axline, adjutant general of the National Guard of Ohio; Colonel Herbert B. Kingsley, assistant adjutant gereral, and Colonel C. E. Burke, aid-de- camp, were visitors at headquarters this morning. They are in Washington to se- cure quarters for the Ohio troops that will take part ir the parade. General, Axline said Ohio would send the 5th Regiment of Infantry, under command of Colonel C. L. Kennon; the 8th Regiment of Infantry; Colonel George B. Gyger; two battalions of the 14th Regiment of Infantry, Col. Alonzo B.Cort,and probably two battalions of light artillery, besides Troop A of Cleveland, that has been selected for the honor of | being escort to President McKinley. Want Places in Line. Responses to the letters of inquiry sent out by the civic committee to prominent state and municipal authorities throughout the country are being received. Mayor Caldwell of Cincinnati reports that the Lincoln Club and the Stamina League will parti¢ipate in the inaugural ceremo- nies, besides the Young Men’s Blaine Club and the Commercial McKinley League. Mr. S. B. Hege, District passenger agent of the Baltimore and Ohio rafiroad, reports that so far arrangements have been made with that company for special service dur- ing the inauguration period as follows: Harmony Fire Company, West End Club, Thirty-fourth Ward Club, Penrose Club, and M. S. Quay Club, all of Philadelphia; Americus Club of Pittsburg, which will have a special train of eight cars; the Gloucester, N. J., Club; six cars have been chartered at Reading, Pa., one each at York, Uniontown and Charlero, Pa.; one at Akron, Ohio, and there will be a big Raymond and Whitcomb excursion from New England, with Boston as the depart- ure point. The War Veterans’ Association, No. 1, and the Sixth Ward Republican Club, both of Camden, X. J., are making arrange- ments to take part in the parade. Executive Committee Meetin; ‘There was a good attendance at the meeting of the executive committee Satur- day night, when Chairman Bell called it to order. Chairman Weller of the street illumination and firzworks committee sub- mitted another report, envbcdying a reso- lution urging the executive committee to agree to the erection of state arches at street intersections and to appropriate $7,000 for the purpose, but after discus- sion the matter wes laid on the table. Chairman Butterworth of the special leg- islation committee in an elaborate report stated that the project to provide for the illumination of public buildings had met the warm approval of the heads of the de- partments, and they had agreed to do everything possible to assist the syccess of the undertaking.

A Wrightaville, Pa., Boy Relates His Experience in Cuba. The Wrightsville, Pa., cértespondent of the York, Pa., Evening Dispatch, sends the following to that paper: ee Arthur B. Jack, a seventeen-ysar-old boy of Wrightsville, who had been placed on board the school ship Saratoga th May last by his guardian, William ‘H. Flora, and who left the school ship j join the fill- buster Laurada, which sailed!for Cuba May 5. last, has returned:‘safély to the United States after some ¢xcliing adven- tures. The lad has just reached Harrison- burg, Va., where his gnandfather, Mr. Tracey, lives. Young Jack, thedgh only a boy, has had lots of experichce crow: - to his short life. eae arowoen - After retarning from the'Laufada expe- dition young Jack accompanied a news- Paper correspondent to Gomez's camp and followed the insurgent army for several menths. He says he was present at the burial of Maceo and that he is surely dead. He gives a graphic description of the kill. ing of Maceo, charging openly that Dr. Zer- tucha betrayed him into the hands of the Spaniards. After being shot from ambush Maceo was tied behind the horses of the Spaniards and dragged over the ground. Before he was dead he was cut loose from the horses and hacked to Pieces with Span- ish machetes. The mutilated remains of the dead chieftain were afterward given a military burial by his own soldiers, who re- turned to the place of ambush. Young Jack will not be home this trip, but will re- turn again next week and again join Gomez. Jack says the Cubans will never give up the struggle for freedom, and that Gen. Rivera is very popular with the in- surgents, but cannot take Maceo’s place in thelr affections. - Col. Hernandes’s Story. A letter has also been receiyed by one of the representatives in Jacksonville, Fl of the Cuban junta, from Lieut. Col. Her- nandez, who was encamped with a com- pany of cavalry and other forces near where Maceo was ambushed. Hearing the firing, he hurried to the scene, and was told that Maceo was killed and his body was in possession of the Spaniards. The insur- gents charged the troops repeatedly, and finally succeeded in capturing the body, which was afterward buried secretly in a safe place. The insurgents are reported to be encamped within nine miles of Havana. —<<eo——— Was Continued.

Willard. The other children are Mr.Henry A. Willard of this city, Mrs. Mary A. Howe of Cam- bridge, Mass.; Mrs. Susan B. Dickinson of Charleston, N. H.; Mr. C. Stevens Willard of Westminster, Vt., and Mr. Caleb C. Willard of this city. Mr. Willard’s father was a farmer at Westminster, Vt., and, like most of the farmers of that period, was in straitened circumstances. His mother, Mrs. Susan Dorr Willard, lived to the extreme age of ninety-three, and died about four years ago, and was buried at West- minster, Vt., the family home. His great grandfather, William Willard, a direct de- scendant of Maj. Simon Willard, who came to this country from England in 1634, lo- cated in Westminster, Vt., in 1752. From that time down to the present, a period of over one huncred and forty years, this place has been continuously the home of the Willards. The children were obliged to begin the battle of life at a very early period, and it was only by determined effort and self-denial that they succeeded in se- curing an education. When quite young, Mr. Willard went to New York, where he was engaged for a number of years as clerk in the Astor House. During his residence in that city he met Miss Caroline Moore, whom he subsequently married, but who died a few years after their marriage. Mr. Willard entered the employ of Mr. Aspirwall, the great New York merchant of those early days, and the founder of the town of Aspirwall, on the Isthmus of Pan- ama, to which point he ran a line of steamers As the agent of Mr. Aspinwall, Mr. Willard went to Panama and also vis- ited California in the opening days of the great gold excitement. His brother, Mr. Henry A. Willard, who had been clerk on the stean boats of the Hudson River Com- pany plying between New York and Troy, had made the acquaintance of Mr. Benja- min Ogle Tayloe of this city, whose wife lived in Troy, and who, therefore, made frequent trips to that city. He invited Mr. Willard to come to this city and take charge of the hotel which was located on the a‘enue front of the present Willard’s Hotel. The building was the property of Mr. Tayloe, and he desired to see an en- ergetic man in charge of the businéss. Mr. Henry A. Willard came to this city in the fall of 1847 and was the first of the Wil- lards to locate here. Mr. Joseph C. Wil- lard, upon the suggestion of his brother, removed here about the year 1853 and en- gaged with him in the management of Wil- lard’s Hotel. His War Record. During the war he entered the army. Mr. Willard’s chief field of service was on the staff of that distinguished soldier, General Irwin McDowell, as aid, with the rank of majcr. The records clearly show that Maj. Willard enjoyed the confidence and esteem of his chief. Part of the time he served in the capacity of quartermaster. In his official report of the battle of Bull Run -Gen. McDowell says: “My staff were always faithful, zealous, active and fearless in the discharge of their duties, which were incessant and exhaust- ing, and under which many of them broke down in health, some being still unable to leave their beds. I desire to record their mes, with my best thanks for the sup- port they gave.” In the list which follows appears the name of Maj. Joseph C. Willard. While assistant adjutant general he re- signed his commission ard upon its being accepted he was henorably discharged from the United States service in special orders, dated March 1, 1864. Ten days later he married Miss Antonia Ford at Fairfax, Va. Miss Ford was a beautiful woman and an intense sympathizer with the cause of |: the south. So great was her loyalty in this direction that she refused to take in the confederate’ army. : She bore him two children—one died in infancy and the other, Mr. Joseph E. Willard of Fairfax county, Va., isa mem- ber of the Virginia state legislature. Mrs. INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. ACCOUNTANTS . AMUSEMEATS . ATTORNEYS . feeSaa DHATHS .. DENTISTRY .... EDUCATIONAL .

Colton, the young. man who surrendered to the police last week be- cause he was wanted in Jersey City for an alleged theft, was taken to that city yesterday by Officer Larkins. The three rings alleged to have been taken were of little value, and the officer had an idea the charge would amount to less than the value of the jewelry. It is thought by the local police that Colton was glad of the oppor- tunity to return home. Yesterday's inclement weather had the effect of decreasing the number of arrests, and during the twenty-four hours only twenty-three persons weré taken in cus- tody. Fourteen of tnese were colored and nine were white. Six females were among the number. In the sixth and fourth pre- cincts, where the arrests are unusually large, no arrests were made. There was also a blank report from the fifth pre- circt received. The street department was informed by the folice todey that the alley in square south of Massachusetts avenue between 10th and 11th streets is in need of repairs. The police lieutenants reported two miss- ing tops of sewer traps today. One was in alley in rear of 400 New Jersey avenue and the other in alley near 6th and O streets. A dangerous sewer trap in alley near 2d and G streets was also reported. Three men who gave their names as Sam- uel Gordon, James Cross and Richard Wag- ner were arrested yesterday afternoon by Policeman Bell on suspicion that they were implicated in the robbery of the post- office at Brunswick, Mc., several days ago. While the men answeréd the, description given of the alleged robbers and also said they had been in Brun®wick, where they heard of the ropvery, the police concluded that they were no: the men wanted, and this morning they were released. On Grant place northwest near the cor- ner of 10th street there is a dangerous hole, which was reported to the street depar:- ment by the police toda: —— New Boarding House. Pat and John Lee are gentlemen of leisure. Usually they spend the winter months in Florida, but the walking has been bad of late, so the pair concluded to remain at the national capital. In conse- quence they appeared in the Police Court today as vagrants. “Where have you been?” inquired the court. “Around mostly,” replied Pat. “Making the round of the workhouses, I suppose,” then said Judge Kimball. “Naw, the lodgin’ houses.” “Well, you may try our workhouse for sixty days,” ruled the court. “Has that other man anything to say?” “I don’ want ter say nawthii ixty days in your case also. ——-_ Am Assault. While attempting to arrest Tom Varner, a colored thief, yesterday, Policeman J. J. Smith was severely beaten. Varner had entered the store of Maggie Koch, 1816 7th street, and was making away with several packages of cigarettes when Policeman Smith started in pursuit. nue the man was overtaken, whereupon he began an assault so vicious in its character that the policeman was compelled to call for assistance. “Thirty days for larceny and sixty days fer assault,” was the disposition Judge Miller made of the case today in the Police Court. —_+ Believed in Brevity. Hugh Digney is a man of few words. He also believes that brevity is the soul of wit. If brevity is wit, Hugh was excru- ciatingly funny today in the Police Court. “It is charged that you were disorderly Saturday night on Pennsylvania avenue, said the clerk. “Guilty.” “The court fines you $3." Hugh etepped back, commenting no more than would a clam. —— Had Trouble. William H. Hazel, a grocery clerk, and Thomes A. Jarvis, a plate printer, had a Uttle trouble yesterday morning. Policemaa Hayden happened along as the men were exchanging blows, and he placed both un- der arrest. When the case was called to- day in the Police Court, Jarvis forfeited collateral and Hazel, who had been locked = since the time of the arrest, was fined ————— Had Spasm: Carrie Carroll, a young colored woman, Poesessing an air of nonchalance, was. in the Police Court today to answer a charge of disorderly, with a “drunk” attachment. “She was intoxicated to an aggravated degree Saturday night,” explained Police- man Bell, “and indviged in all sorts of lan- “Profanity?” asked the court. “Yes, sir.’ “I wasn’t disorderly,” declared Carrie. 7" remarked the court, incred- af had spasms.” ulovsly. “Drunken spasms, I suppose.” “I was drunk, but I had spasms anyhow.” “Your honor,” interrupted Policeman Bell, “this woman was so drunk that she stripped herself of all clothing right in the street.” “Five dollars,” remarked the court. “The fun was worth double the amount,” commented Carrie as she stepped back. —— John I.
