THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS.

The House District Committee yesterday held
their regular weekly meeting, but did not trans
act a great amount Of business. At present the
committee lnbors nder the disadvantage Of being,
for all practical purposes, without chairman.
Judge Hale, who has acted in that capacity, I'm.
der the press Of other business, notified tho House
several weeks since that his withdrawal was not
improbable, and now 1t is stated that his resIgna-
tion is in the hands OF the Speaker. AS yet.
however, no action has been taken in the premises.
When yesterdays session opened Judge Cotton,
suggested that Mr.. uarmer, who was next in
rank take the chair, but he declined to do 50, and
waived his right in behalf Of Judge Cotton. Mr..
Harmer explained, as the cause for this action,
tina. other business frequently called him from
the committees sessions, and that 1t was proper
that the temporary vacancy be filled by some one
sble to be more regular in attendance at the com;
mittee meetings. As the first business In order,
Mr.. Harmer notified the committee that he was
ready to report on the petitions referred TO him
for examination, In which several parties ask the
privilege Of forming new gas companies, but at
the suggestion OF Mr.. Cotton, who stated that
additional petitions had been received, the report
was deferred until the next meeting.
Messrs. Lofand, Eldredge and Harmer, a sub
committee, to whom was submitted tbs bill to en-
large the powers Of the Board OF Health, heard
Messrs. Bliss, Verdi and Lsngs:oa on the matter.
but failed 10 reach any conclusion.

The beautiful auditorium attached TO the Fif-
teenth-stTeet Presbyterian church was we'll filled
last night TO witness the marriage Of Mr.. Henry
Grant (Don Carlos) and Mrs. Julia B. Hawkins.
The ceremony was performed by the chaplain OF
the United States Senate, Rev. DR.. Sunderland,
In q very impressive manner. The audience was
composed of the elite Of our colored citizens en-
bracing q full representation of the ladies con-
nec.ed with the educational interests Of Washing
ton, both the groom and bride being identified
with the public Scholastic former as musical
director and the latter as associate teacher. The
bride looked extremely lovely, wearing magnih-
cent pearl-eolored silk en- train, with lace trim
mings. Her hair was neatly and tastefully ar.
ranged with modest wreath OF natural flowers,
and her easy grace Of manners blended charm
ingly with the elegant taste displayed in her ap-
pearance. The groom was attired In the con-
vential full evening dress, and carried his honors
and conquest with q nodesty that fully charac-
terIzed the man. The happy pair, after receiving
the congratulations Of their many friends present,
repaired to their new home on K street, between
Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets northwest,
where they held q reception Which was namsr.
ously attended. Among those who called were
the trustees, superintendent and other officers
connected with the colorsd schools.
