F and 1th sts. dylte Objected to Old Dresses. From the Indianapolis News. The death of Mrs. Barbara Offein at Belleville, Ill, yesterday, at the advanced age of cighty-two, closed the life of a re- markable woman. For thirty years she has led the life of a recluse, and during all that time has spoken to no one but her husband, who also lived the life of a her- mit. A high board fence inclosed their home, and she was never seen outside of that fence. ee rs curious story is related as the rea- pee for her strange life. When she mar- ried her second husband thirty years ago sheg was a beautiful woman, fond of so- ciety. He insisted, it is alleged, that she wear out the dresses of his deceased wife before new ones were purchasd. She refused to do so. When her own gowns wore out she made dresses of old rags and quilts. In summer she went without shoes, and in cold weather she wrapped rags about her feet. For twenty years she nas rarely been outside of her house, aid never beyond the high board fence. Cece ccccccccccccccceceee CO almost half.

Langston took place this afternoon from Metropoli- tan A. M. E. Church, 15th near M street northwest, which was crowded with mourners and friends of the dead lawyer. Most of the teachers and pupils of the col- ored public schools were present. The Colored High School Cadets acted as ushers. The services were conducted by Rev. Dr. Sterling N. Brown, pastor of Park Temple Church, of which Mr. Langston was a member, assisted by Rev. Dr. J. E. Rankin, president of Howard University, Revs. Drs. F. J. Grimke, Johnson, Waring and others. The music was in charge of Mrs. Alice Strange Davis. The active pallbearers were Messrs T. B. Warnick, R. 8. Smith, W. Calvin Chase, J. M. Ricks, and R. H. Terrell and Dr. H. } H, Hoskins. The honorary pallbearers ex-Senator B. K. Bruce, John R. Lynch, W. H. A. Wormley,, Charles R. Douglass, C. P. Cheatham, John F. Cook, P. B. 8. Pinchback and Dr. Charles B. Purvis. The remains were placed in a vault at Harmony cemetery to await final inter- ment. It is possible they will be removed to Nashville, Tenn., for burial, as some of the children of the widow want tueir mother to reside in future in that city with her dayghter, Mrs. Napier. At a special meeting last evening of the West End McKinley Club resolutions of sympathy for the family of the deceased were passed, and a committee to represent the club at the funeral was appointed. Similar action was taken at the meeting of the Virginia Republican League. The colored public schools were closed at noon today as a mark of respect to the memory of Prof. Langston and in order to enable the teachers and pupils to attend the funeral. Dr. Rankin’s Tribute. In announcing yesterday in Howard Uni- versity chapel the death of Mr. Langston President Rankin made this comment: “The death of Mr. Langston has taken from the number of our citizens one who has long been a conspicuous illus- tration of what education can do for the colored race. ~ He had the very best of academic culture at Oberlin, when it cost something to give it; was early in the field as an anti-slavery man in Ohio; has been signally honored by places of state and national public trust, and has kept up the profession of the law to the very close of his life. ily courteous and mag- netic, he has often won great triumphs on the platform. He was the first dean of the law department here, and for a short time acting president, and some of his pupils have done him great honor by their suc- cess in after life. His mind was especially interested In the ethical character of the law, and the indebtedness of common law to the Hebrew commonwealth, and his Sun- day talks to his students were often stimulating and fice young man, and especially to every student of this university. “Out of respect to Mr. Langston’s mem- ory the unjversity wilk adjourn at noo: ‘Thursday, the day of the funeral.” : ot VERDICT FOR DEFENDANT. Hoeke Fails to Sustain Charge Against Hackman. A jury in the Police Court this afternoon declared Isaac Tignor, a colored hackman, not guilty of the larceny of $20 from Mr. William H. Hoeke, the well-known business man of this city. A -¢hdfge of violating the hack law filed against Tignor was nolle prossed after the verdict had been returned in the larceny case. Mr. Hoéke testified that the 5th of No- vember he had a summons to go to New York. | About 11 a.m. he received from one of his, clerks two $20 bills and two $5 bills —$50 in all. He went to the 6th street depot and there learned that there would be no train for New York for several hours. A train would leave by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, however, within a few min- utes. Jumpigg into the first public vehicle he reached, which ‘happened to be Tignor’s, he directed him to hurry to the B. and O. depot. There he tendered Tignor two 25- cent pieces, but the man asked for $1. Mr. Heeke said he hurriedly handed over a bill, thinking it was a dollar. At the ticket office he found that he had only one $20 bill instead of two. He then realized that he had made a mistake and given the driver $20 instead of $1. Tignor refused to make restitution, and, therefore, a warrant’'was secured for his arrest. The defendant. denied that he had re- ceived $20 from Mr. Hoeke. The bill was one dollar, he declared, and he produced in court a bill that he claimed was the one handed him by Mr. Hoeke. _——_>—_— Army Notes. Commissary Ser, John A.

Some amusement and considerable an- noyance was caused at the Congressional Library building this morning by the pranks of a telephone which has recently becn placed in the office of Thomas G. Al- vord, superintendent of the art depart- went. While Stenographer Cavanaugh was bus- fly engaged in transcribing some letters, there was a sharp ring at the “phone, which was answered. “Hello!” “Hello! I've got a dead dog up in br-r-r alley. What must I do with it?” “What's that—a dead dog!” “Yes; what do you want done with it? He hasn't been dead very long, bui—” “We don’t want any dead dogs up here. We've only got room for books. This is not the health department. Get an under- taker and give the animal a decent burial. This is the new Congressional Library. Good-bye.” The conversation was suspended, when the receiver was hung up on the hock and Mr. Cavanaugh returned to his work. He was deeply engrossed in it, when there was arother ring at the ‘phone. “I want two tickets to New Orleans,” sald a feminine voice. “What will they cost? You see, I had to go down there to meet” —followed by br-r-r-r from the “phone. “This is not the ticket office, madam; just the CongressiOnal Library. Bood-by; All sorts of calls were made over the ‘phone, and it was explained that it had not yet been connected properly, or some- thing of the kind, and that many of the calls which were made to the central of- fice became in some manner switched off on it. It will be fixed properly as soon as possible. —_—>—__ HOLT WILL CASE. Arguments Before Court of Appeals Affecting the Distribution. The question of whether the distribution of the estate of the late Judge Joseph Hoit among the nephews and nieces shall be per capita or per stirpes was argued in the Court of Appeals today, the court reserv- ing its decision. But one-half of the estate, that to which Miss Lizzie Hynes relinquished to the heirs-at-law all her rights under the al- leged will of February 7, 1873, was affected directly by today’s proceedings, although should the invalidity of the mysteriously discovered will be affirmed eventually the whole estate would also be affected by the court’s decision. The appeal noted from the judgment of the Circuit Court, declar- ing the document not to have been made by Judge Holt, will be heard by the Court of Appeals later. The Probate Court held that the distribution of the personal estate should be made per stirpes. ead OBSTRUCTION TO HIGHWAY. Remov of 7™ ley Pole on Ten- heytown Read. The trolley pole belonging to the George- town and Tenleytown Railroad Company standing in the roadway at 37th street and Tenleytown road will have to be removed. The attorney for the District certifies in an opinion to the Commissioners today the right of the Commissioners to order the removal of the pole, and the engineer de- partment having already made complaint of it, the pole will likely be removed with- in a few days. Attorney Thomas, in his opinion on the subject, says: “The right of way granted by Congress to the Georgetown and Tenleytown Rail- read Company and the incidental right to erect electric railway poles is subordinate to the use of the highway for public travel. The poles must, therefore, be so placed as not to incommode the use of the highway for the purpose for which it was originally designed—that is, travel by the public. A slight obstruction or limitation of travel is of course necessary, wherever a pole is placed in a highway, for a certain small portion of the street ts thereby excluded from use by the public. This is not an ob- struction of travel; but where a pole, as in this case, is so placed as to substantially interfere with the use of the highway for travel by the public, it is a nuisance, and should be removed. Burned e Stable. About 11:30 o’clock today fire was dis- covered in the stable of Lieut. Hayden on Svummit avenue, Lanier Heights, and No. 9 Engine Company was called out on a local alarm. The stable was badly damaged and a valuable cow was burned to death. Some harness and feed were also destroyed. Mra. Alice Prather, who ts employed as cook in Lieut. Hayden's house, discovered the fire. but was unable to tell the cause. The dam- age is estimated at $1,000. > Alfred Ordway, the portrait painter, died at Boston . yesterday, aged seventy-eight years. He was one of the founders of the Boston Art Club, and was its first secretary and treasurer, subsequently being the club's president.
