THE WoMKN's CHRIsrIAN ASSOCIATION
held meeting at the home yesterday.
There are twenty four inmates In the home,
and four transient women were aided last
month. Twenty two children are In the
Foster home, and all in good health. Thirty
visits were made among the poor, and relief
afforded as far as possible. The employment
rooms are well patroniZed, many sewing
women being constantly employed; homes
were found Tor five, and the rooms are self
sustaining. A vote of thanks was given TO
Mrs. Rives for her parlor entertainm snt.
which added so much to the treasury. Also,
TO Miss Winnie Ream for her co operation at
the authors carDival,which added so largely
TO the attractions of that very successful
entertainment. Also, TO the Shakespeare
club. The reports from the managers of the
carnival are beginning TO come In, and the
great success pecuniaTily, as well as socially,
is assured. Already 81 600 has been paid in,
and the ladies desire TO thank their friends
for the kind reception they met with in this
their first attempt 10 present an authors
entertainment.
PARTIES who insure their real estate or
personal property should always seek re-
liable company. The Arlington Fire Insur-
ance Company for the District of Colu nbia,
Office No 1905 Pa. ave, is well worthy OF the
exter ded patronage they are continually re-
ceiving.

The Murder Of Gen. Howard.

The WATERFORD IS. CT News says: 6The
details of the murder of Gen. Howard, as
confessed by the prisoners, show that it was
premeditated and cold bloOded affair. On
Thursday last they sent for the sheriff and
said that they desired to make a statement
to relieve their minds. The sheriff sent for
Trial Justice Richmond, who took down
their confession as follows: John Sn1pe said
that on Friday, the eth inst, George Hinck-
plantation and told him that Gen. Howard
would go to the village the following day to
get some money, and he must take his stand
In the road and shoot him, and he would fur
nish him the shot. He refused, but on the
18th he asked Snipe again TO take his stand
and shoot. He again refused, but the same
day he consented. They went together the
following day to Grahamville. Pinckney
bought the shot and gave Snipe a load. He
took his stand at Honey Hill and shot Gen.
Howard. The prisoner, Fred Bright, took
cents IN II and some papers. Bright took
twenty-five cents, Pinckney fifteen cents,
and Snipe took ten cents. Bright speaks OF
seeing Snipe at Honey Hill aud asking him
Pinckney had told him he had seen q sn.
Howard in Mr.. Besselieus store changing
money, and he must go on to Honey Hill
breastw orks, and must shoot him when he
came sloDg and get the money. Bright called
him fool. left aud resumed his walk. He
saw Gen. Howard come along, and saw Snipe
shoot him. Howard fell back in his buggy.
and Snipe caught hold of him and pulled hi no
into the road and searched his pockets.
SDipe took bis POCKET book, left Bright, and
went toward Grahamville. Bright did not
tell any one of the shooting, as he was scared
and nervous, and thought he might be ac-
cused of the murder. Pinckney has not vet
made any statement"
