An Accidental Hut Serious Rem.
counter.
Last evening about 81 o'clock Mr.. j.
NJ. 0mberg, teller of the Union and
Planters Bank, was on his way to his
residence on Vance street. AS he got to
Linden street, on Lauderdale, he OBJ.
served a man following him in the dsrk-
ness. Quickening his pace, he crossed
the street to a gaslight, but the man also
crossed and followed. At the corner OF
Lauderdale and Pontotoc Mr.. 0mberg
crossed again and drew his pistol. The
unknown man hurried up and made a
rush across the street-car track. Mr..
0mberg called upon him to halt. or he
would shoot him, but the man said moth.
ing and kept on advancing, with arm
appraised. As he did so Mr.. 0mberg
fred and his pursuer threw up his hands
wildly and exclaimed, What did you
shoot me for2' Mr.. 0mberg answered,
" Because ysu were pursuing and ad-
vaneing on me" and asked, Who are
your The man replied, my name is
Goodbar." MY Gudl you are not ]. NJ.
Goodbar2' inquired Omberg. NO"
said the. man. By this time Mr.. ON
berg, with pistol in hand, had
approached him and taking him by the
arms discovered that he was bleeding
freely, but Mr.. Goodbar insisted that he
was not shot nor hurt. Mr.. 0mberg
asked him to take a seat on the sidewalk
until he could run for a doctor. out Mr.
Goodbar, who seemed very much excited,
refused to do so, and suddenly drew a
bowie.knife, exclaiming, q" will sill you,
0mbergl'' He made several desperate
lunges at him with the knife and rushed
at him, but becoming weak and giddy
from loss of blood, did not reach him
Mr.. 0mberg, with pistol in hand. avoided
him and left in the darkness. Mr.. Good
bar ran over to a house on Vance street,
near Lauderdale, where he was found oy
his friends. Mr.. 0mberg went to the
residence of Mr.. Cameron, on Vance
street, and informed him as to the
facts, and then came back to town
to surrender himself up to the au.
thorities. It is supposed that Mr.,
Goodbar had mistaken Mr.. 0mberg for
some other man, and Mr.. 0mberg un-
doubtedly believed that his assailant
was a negro whom he thought had fol-
lowed him from Beal street. The an
fortunate mistake OF both gentlemen
came very near turning out most seri-
ously and fatally, and it is a cause Of
qualification to their friends that the re-
suits were of so slight r character OF
course 40 judicial investigation took
place as to the matter, as both gentle
men now thoroughly understand the
strange situation in which they were
placed toward each other in the darkness
of Lauderdale street. Mr.. Goodbar was
struck in the chin by the ball, and il
ranged back along the jaw, inaicting a
severe, but not by any means a danger
GUS wound.

Seven feet of water is reported at

the very worst crossings in the whole
river being hat at Green6eld's and
Birds Point. These crossings are
really in a horrible condition, being
shallow, shaggy and constantly chang
ing, in consequence of the inroads the
river is making in the bank above the
city. They have always given more OF
less trouble at low water, and at the last
government survey of the river their i'm.
provement was recommended by the
building Of a short dyke at Dickey Is
land, and another nearly opposite Green
fields, which would make q straight
river from that point out, doing away
with both crossings. The channel is
like a mill ace at the point, making ii
almost impossible to handle a boat in
the present condition of the channel,
and pilots are very anxious that the gov.
eminent should give that point atten-
ton.

apparatus for lighting the lamps Of the carrtage

EPISCOPAL.
7heNCoIvocation Of Washington.


Old Christ church was filled last night with Q
very large and interested congregation, 1t being
the first Of the series of special services held under
the auspices Of the Convocation of Washington,
which body holds Its semLannual meeting to
morrow morning at 10 o'clock, at St. Johns church.
The services last evening were remarkably inter
esting, the more 30 account of the fitness Of the
place, the old church being the venerable mother
Of the churches Of the city. The music was led by
the excellent choir OF the church, and the hymns
were sung with spirit that manifested how
deeply all were concerned In the worship Of the
sanctuary. The addresses by the Rev. DR.. Lewis,
the Rev. Mr.. Avirett and the Hon. Montgomery
Blair were spirited, and engaged the undivided
attention Of the audience throughout, leaving
q marked impression and doubtless doing much
good. The work Of the Episcopal Church In the
District Is quietly growing and extending in all
quarters OF the city, and the Convocationo Of ash
ipgton, headed by the Dean, the Rev. Dr.. Levin,
ofPort Tobacco, Is doing q deal towards the sue
cess OF that work, and from the large Offering of
money made last evening in old Christ church It
Is manifest that the Episcopal Church does not
consist in words alone, but In practical deeds Of
selfsacrifce. This evening the second Of the
special services will be held at the Church Of the
Incarnation, corner Of Twelfth and NJ streets
northwest, at 7:30 o'clock. Addresses may be ex-
pected by several Of the clergy, and there will
doubtless be large attendance TO morrow at st.
Johns church. At the morning service the Rev
DR.. Addison Will preach the convocation sermon.

The comedy Of aSelfn is Of { most wholesome
character. Il Is full of smiles and tears, ana ap
peals to the good sense OF all listeners and leaves
upon the mind most pleasant impression. It's
not 7onepart play, made up wholly and solely
for the exhibition OF the qualities OF put
each one Of the dramatis persona, and there are
seventeen Of them in the cast, have something to
do. All are given opportunities for effective act
ing, and last night the drama was made particu-
larly pleasant by excellent distribution Of the
characters. The Mrs. Corduroy Coburn OF Mrs
Germon can hardly be excelled. This familiar
artist in old women's parts Is held IN affection
and is always as welcome as she Is good. A
member Of Mr.. Fords company, Miss Rose Os-
borne, as Mrs. Apex, made her first appearance
In Washington, and wes greatly liked. Her
thoroughness and ease In stage business and
and effective readings and excellent taste in
dress, all combined in winning the good opinion
of her audience. The occasion was also interest
ing from the fact that we'll and re-
spected lady Of this city, Miss Minette Thomp-
son. made her debut ss Mary Apex. The only
voice, a fault easily enough remedied. On the
other hand, she received united praise as an
actress. Her acting was beautiful-naturai,
easy graceful and in stinct with the true life OF
the character she assumed. II was the verdict
Of her audience that she has wisely chosen her
profession. Miss Eugenia Paul as Mrs. Radius
was disagreeably good and intolerably faithful
IN the oelineation Of an impertinent character:
Mr.. Harry Pearson as Mr.. Apex won new and
more decided praise than has been accorded to
rounded out; and credit is due to Mr.. Weber,
Mr. Walters and Mr.. Kingsley. Tonight Mr..
Owens repeats the play. Wednesday and Thurs

Forty-Fourth Congress.

forty-fourtn congress-.
For the past three months the Labor Leagues
OF the District have been making preparations for
q grand demonstration In honor of the assembling
Of the Forty. Fourth Congress. 1t was at first de-
termined to conine the demonstration to the Ls-
Dor Leagues alone, but as the matter progressed
1t was found necessary to enlarge the programme
so as to make the reception of general interest,"
At q meeting OF the delegates of the Labor
Leagues held at their headquarters, 400 Louisiana
avenue, last evening, there being also
present the Representatives of ffteen outside
organizations 1t was resolved to extend an invita-
tion to all the societies and the citizens in general
OF the entire District to take part in the demon
stration. This was done by o unanimous vote,
and committees appointed to walt on the officers
OF the different organizations for that purpose.
The programme, which can be enlsrg ed TO meet
and the other different organizations and the citi-
Zens will Assem- BILE at their different headquarters
90 the night OF the demonstration. and, headed by
their bands, proceed TO Judiciary square: Here
the procession viii form; thence march through
the prircpal streets and avenues of the city. The
entire demonstration will halt in front Of the resi-
cence of the Speaker of the House of Represents
tives, whoever he may be, aud, through that ON
Fourth Congress. During the march the scene
will be enlivened with general display OF sky
rockets, Roman candles, g..
By vote OF the meeting the following commit
tee, composed of six white and six colored work
ingmen, was appointed TO wait on the dinerent
