AEW CLUB HOUSE.

RESULT OF THE RECENT VICTORIES.
One of the first apparent results Of the recent
Democratic victories, as far as this city is con-
cerned, was announced yesterday in the fact that
John Chamberlain, the we'll known sporting man
and politician of New York, had closed the nego-
tiation, and purchased for the sum Of 1000 the
we'll known Riggs mansion, at the corner of
Nineteenth and streets northwest, and that in
future it would be conducted as q hrst-class
club ~ house. Firstclass clubhouse in his def
milton Of the word means gambling house, con-
Quoted after the plan of his establishment at
Long Branch and John MOrrsey's at Saratoga.
1t will be fitted up in the most expensive man
ner, the meals and liquors, equaling those served
by Welcker or WOrmley, will be furnished free
in abundance, and any number of private rooms
will always be ready for the accommodation Of
patrons
This house. so we'll known by its peculiar and
striking Gothic architecture, was built and Occu-
pied by Mr.. Riggs, and by him subsequently sold
10 Mr.. Charles Knapp, wealthy gun contractor
Of Pittsburg, Pa, and was, after being altered,
used for time as his residence, and vacated to
lot it to Sir Edward Thornton, who in turn
vacated it to occupy the new house for the Eng
lish Legation Just completed. In the future, as
in the past the house will have for its guests
those high in position, but they will assemble for
a far different purpose and where in the past the
sounds of music end the hum OF intelligent CONVEX
satiOn was heard, in the future the clicking of
ivory chips and the sOnOrOus tones of the dealer
calling the game will be substituted.

SMART PRACTICE.


HOW THE DOCTORS WERE BEATEN.
In the early part Of the week several Of the
more prominent Of the District physicians resid-
ing in different localities of the city were called
upon by heightened, well dressed young gentle
man, whose style and address would stamp him
as worthy of belief in almost any circle. His
business with the doctors was plainly stated.
He had a relative who was suffering from pecu-
liar disease and he wished to make an engage
ment with the doctor for q stated hour in order
that he might bring the patient to his otice and
have the benent OF an uninterrupted examination
into the causes Of the malady. The proposition
was as plausible as the maker, and the result was
that four doctors had engagements with the gen.
ueman for the same purpose. In making his ar
PLACEMENTS for the meeting, by a series of adrOtt
questions, the young man succeeded in finding
out the office hours Of his to be victims, took a
good look about the room and then departed,
promising to call at the hour named, and es-
pecially charging them to be promptly on time
and ready for him.
There is where he fooled them all. He called
earlier than he had agreed, boldly rang the bell,
asked whether the Doctor was in, and when an
sWered in the negative, as he knew he would be,
quietly informed the servant that he had an en-
session of the office to await his arrival. In few
moments, Of course, he had in his pocket all the
fine instruments and other property which could
be secreted without fear Of detection, and then he
walked out, told the servant that he could wait
no longer, but would call again. This game he
repeated just four times, and the next day Just
four doctors made complaint at police headQuar-
tiers and told the same story. Detectives Sargent
and McEliresh took the case in hand, and after a
ing the property. He will be sent before Judge
Smell this morning.

QUARREL BETWEEN CO-EXECUTORS OF
AN ESTATE.
In the Police Court yesterday the case Of Ber-
pard Burnstein charged with an assault and bat
terry on David Fox, of New York, was called.
From the testimony it appears that both COM
pIainant and defendant are joint executors for
the settlement of the estate of the late Henry
Burnstein, OF this city. Mr.. Fox testified that he
resides in New York; that he came here to see
Mr.. b., and on Thursday he went there to ask
about some papers. He asked to see some papers
in relation TO a sale which he had made to his
brother Henry. After looking them over he took
some papers, and, placing them in his pocket,
walked toward the door, remarktng that he
wished to show them to his attorney, W. ). Cox,
ESQ. At This time BuTnstein jumped after him,
and grabbing him by the coat, seized hold of his
pocket with great violence, and called him rob
Der and like epithets. A tussle ensued, in which
Burnstein bit his arm and finger. At this Fox
got excited and went for HIS oppOntn n with will,
or with his fists and inflicted marks which he
bore in the courtroom.
After hearing further testimony, Mr.. Burnstetn
stated to the court that the papers related TO his
own personal account against the estate OF Henry
Burnstein, amounting TO some $4,000.
Mr.. Fox denied that they were the papers re-
ferred to, and called Mr. b. q liar.
The Court stated that he assumed that these
two men had equal rights, as coexecutOrs, to any
papers relating TO the settlement OF the estate;
that If the papers were Of private nature he had
no right to them, but. having placed them in the
hands Of Mr.. Fox, and he having attempted to
detain them, he (Mr. b. had no right to force
them from him in this manner, but take his rem
edy at law. He fined him so and costs. An ap-
peal was taken.
York city, and has, it is said, instituted civil
suit against Mr.. Burnstein, claiming 5000 dam.

The Board Of Health met at their rooms last
evening, DR.. q. U. Cox, president, in tho chair.
DR.. KeeRe, the health officer, submitted COM
munication stating that information was received
at his office on Wednesday last Of case Of small

had lain to be cleaned and WhitewRshed.
The infected man is named Henry Thompson,
and states that he left New York and passed
through this city to Alexandria, where he was
taken sick, and the case being diagnosed by the
physicians to be smallpox, he was told he could
not remain in Alexandria. but must return to this
city where accommodations could be found. This
he did, seeing and conYersing with several people
