lowed -PawnbrOkers Implicated.
Robert Marshall, the colored burglar, who
has so many aliases, is still confined in the
Fifth precinct station-house, and the detectives
are working up good case against him. The
valuable ring which he swallowed at the time
of his arrest was recovered Saturday, but 1t
would be indelicate TO describe the manner IN
which 1t was obtained. The ring was swal-
lowed Tuesday, and Marshall seemed to take
pleasure in the vexation of the officers In the
appearance of the lost article. When
after four days 1t was obtained his spirits fell
considerably. Besides the aliases which he
Lore at the time of his arrest he has assumed
several more since bis imprisonment, and
every fellow prisoner knows him by different
name. Marshall states that he offered the
watch, stolen from Mr.. +. II. Stickney, for
sale at the pawn shop of the Cohens, on Sew
enth street, and that they forced him by sig
nifcantly limiting that the watch was
CROOKED" to sell It TO them for the small sum
Of SO. The Cohen brothers are awaiting
trial on charge preferred by Mr.. Stickney.

The constantly increasing congregations at
the E street Baptist church gives evidence of
the popularity of Rev. DR.. Parker, the new
pastor. Yesterday, despite the uufavOrable
weather, large audiences were present bosh
morning and evening, and they were well re-
paid in both instances, as DR.. Parker delivered
two very earnest and instructive sermons. In
the morning he selected from the parable Of
the master giving out the talents the words,
+'Take from him the one talent and give to
him that hath ten talents" and in the evening
he chose for his text, "For we must all give
on account" The evening sermon was pecu-
liarly solemn and impressive, and a subdu
solemnity pervsded the congregation, giving
evidence of the work of the Holy Spirit upon
the hearts of these present.
Notice was given that the Baptists of this
city viii hold a union service in tha Calvary
Baptist church on Thanksgiving Day, at which
Rev. DR.. GRAY, of the North Baptist church,
will deliver the sermon.

An Intoxicated woman FATS on .
Stove CorOner's Inquest -sisntn-
cant verdict.
Saturday afternoon, about 5 O'Clock, Mrs.
Elizabeth Brady, residing on Thirteenth street
east, while intoxicated, attempted to prepare
supper for her husband and family. The result
was that she fell on the stove, her dress
caught fire, and before assistance could be
rendered she was burned to death. Mrs.
Brady was alone in the house at the time the
accident occurred. Acarpenter working on
house in the neighborhood noticed smoke
issuing from the window, broke open the
door and found the unfortunate woman lying
on the floor dead, being frightfully burned
about the head and breast. Coroner Patter-
son was notified by Lieut.. Austin, and he held
an inquest yesterday, the following jury being
sworn Geo. Edwards, John Mcfarland, Har-
land Maddox, Alexander Grier, Geo. T. Thorn
ION, Lawrence Delger, A. B. Stubbs, Joshua
Evans, John O'Niell, Ernest Tungl, George
Dushane and Wm. c. Ferguson. The wit
nesses called were Mr.. Sam O'Brien, Mrs. E.
Lucas, Miss Sarah McFadden, and Florence,
the little daughter of the deceased.
Their evidence was in substance as stated
above, and after short deliberation the jury
returned the following
VERDICT:
That the said Elizabeth Brady came to her
death about 4:30 p. m, Oh the 25th of Noyem-
Der, 1876, at the house of her husband, VIM.
N. Brady, No. 500 Thirteenth street southeast,
by reason of being accidentally burned while
under the influence of Intoxicating drink, and
the Jury find from the evidence that the liquor
which led to this accident was procured Of
P. P. Little g. Co. by Florence Brady, daugh-
ter of the deceased, not twelve years old.
In justice to the firm of Little 81 Co. It
should be added that It is o grocery house of
ness nearly one mile from the scene of the dis
aster; while 1t has no knowledge of making
such sale as the one mentioned, IL is highly
improbable that the liquor was obtained from
that establishment, and was sold in the reyu-
lar course of business without any knowledge
of the parties who purchased 1t.

BURNING OF A BAGGAGE CAR.

-
Theatrical wardrobes Destroyed-A
Lady's Grief Over the Cremation OF
Poodle-A Southern Gentleman
Rufned-ExpIos1on OF Cartridges
and Loaded Guns.
An accident by which considerable property
was destroyed occurred to the Richmond eE-
press, which leaves here at 1:4o q. m, on the
Baltimore and Potomac road. When the train
was approaching Patuxent station, twenty
one miles north of this city, some sample
bales of cotton in the baggage car were dis
covered on fire. Efforts were made to subiue
the fire, but the speed at which the train was
running famed the flames, so that they could
not be mastered. As soon as possible the
burning car was switched off the main track
and separated from the cars. The car was
entirely consumed, none of the WOO d work be-
ing left. Thirty one pieces of baggage were
saved, including the wardrobe of travelling
theatrical troupe from the South, aud also the
wardrobe of some of the performers lately at
the Theatre Comique, of this city. The three
safes of Adams Express Company and two
P. P. packages were also saved.
The employees of the train worked man.
fully to rescue the property, but it was with
great difficulty that anything was saved. Most
Vi Lne passenScTs were asleep at tue Tune, anu
some did not awake at all, despite the fact
that during the fire the several cartridges and
loaded guns that formed a part of the contents
of the burning car exploded with great noise,
causing no little excitement and alarm among
those who were trying to save the property.
The train was delayed until $50 q. m, and
then proceeded northwsrd without the bag
gage. Among the articles destroyed were
watches, bracelets, rings and other valuable
goods. One lady on the train went into
Mysteries over the roasted remains of a pet
poodle, which was cremated in the car. A
gentleman from the South, whose trunk was
missing, was greatly troubled over its loss,
which he said contained the only 81 ,0C0 that
he was worth.
It cannot yet be determined how much prop
erty was lost by the accident. As is generally
the case Sunday mornings, the "run" of ex-
press matter was light, and besides number
Of bales of cotton from the South, the Express
company had little freight in the car which
was not saved. An express messenger who
was sent TO the scene of the wreck yesterday
will arrive in this city this morning. The pas
seDeer baggage was also light, but 1t is impos-
sible to estimate the loss by the passengers, as
they proceeded northward with the train.

THE XVI AMENDMENT.
The Women BtilI Pressing Their
Claims.

Slasin
A meeting of the District of Columbia
Woman Franchise Association was held at the
parlors of the Young Mems Christian Associs-
ton on Saturday, at 4:30 p. m, for the pur-
pose of CO operating with the National Woman
Suffrage Association in securing a mammoth
petition TO Congress for sixteenth amend.
ment 10 the Constitution of the United States
prohibiting any State from disfranchising
United States citizens on account of sex.
Upon calling the meeting to order, Mrs.
Spencer said that she had been assured BY the
prominent temperance advocates and by the
leaders of reform movements generally in
Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York that all
their efforts for temperance, purity and the
general welfare of the people were constantly
defeated by the ballot in the hands Of corrupt
men, while all women were powerless to So.
cure any reform or to project any personal
right. .e
The appeal Of the National Association was
read, asking that the women of the country
make the same united effort for their own
rights that they did for the slaves of the
South, when they rolled up three hundred
thousand names in behalf of q thirteenth
amendment.
All the ladies present signed the petition
for a sixteenth amendment, and each one took
a copy to secure signatures. ..
The Chair appointed Mrs. E. c. Sargent,
Mrs. Parnell and DR.. Susan Edison q commit
tee to secure parlors for the headquarters of
the National Association during the winter.
As all efforts in this direction involve ex-
pense it was decided to ask friends of woman
suffrage who sign the petition to strengthen
their appeal by sending to the treasurer, Mrs.
Ellen c. Sargent, 1913 De Sales street, one
dollar or more. 1t was distinctly stated that
n cash hook with the name of each contributor
and the amount would be kept by the treas
urer, always open for inspection.
As several unauthorized persons have COL
lected funds in the District avowedly in the in.
terests Of women, which funds have not
reached the several treasures, this fact should
receive attention.
Mrs. Spencer stated that upon request Of
Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony she had en-
gagged Lincoln hall for the January convention
for $3.50, and reminded the ladies that these
financial responsibilities were apt ID fall heay-
lily on few.

said there especial significance whatever In their
presence that they belong this military department;
that Washington is convenient and economical loca-
ton and further that additional troops would ac
coring present intentions be ordered to this point
The President said today that the bringing OF troops
to this city merely ordinary change OF station
and Gen. Sherman gave the assurance that there was
"no political significance whatever to this movement
and added that the troops belong to Gen. HancocEs
command which includes Washington.
The Secretary OF the Navy in response 10 inquiries re-
garng the of the concentration OF anava force
in this vicinity, empbatcaly denied their truth He
said the vessels OF the navy pursuing the usual
routine of duty without extraordinary ORDERS and that
there nothing In any recent suggestion or direction
from the Navy Department to commanders or vessels
which could be construed into act which should oc-
casion the slightest sensation excitement.
Other Cabinet officers expressed themselves 10 the same
effect as their colleagues Secretary Chandler said that
this military movement was not formal act OF the
Administration but merely ordinary army movement
He himself did not that any companies had been
ordered here, and not aware that any more were
coming he thought just well to have these COM
panes stationed Washington elsewhere and III fact
better because it cheaper feed them here than
most other places
1t may be stated in addition 10 the above that these
troops will remain here at least until after the Pres
dental Inauguration, ii Is usual to have military es
cort such occasions both guard of honor and IN
order to suppress any serious disturbances which might

IEcrING TROOPS AT THE CAPITAL.
The Returning Board of Louisiana canvassed
tbe election returns from three undisputed
marshes yesterday, in the presence of the ap-
pointed witnesses. Counsel for the Demo-
cratic candidates was not admitted. w. f.
Chandler describes the state of affairs IN
Florida to-day in letter telegraphed to The
TRIBUNE. He claims the State for Hayes,
but says that the State is close, and 1t Is not
safe to mention any figures, since that would
give the Democrats a clew, as in 1872, to
the amount of alteration necessary to make In
returns from Democratic counties to secure
majority for Tilden. He explains the law In
reference to counting the electoral vote, and
SAYS it makes no difference whether Gov.
Sterns or the canvassers count 1T, as they are
all men of high character. The gathering OF
troops at Washington, first announced In IHE
TRIBUNE's dispatches, and since denied, is con-
frmed Probably about 1000 will be col
lected there
