While the people generally are disputing the
result of the election, victory being claimed by
both political parties, our citizens are not In
doubt as to which is the most popular clothier
in Washington, and as to where the greatest
Inducements are offered to purchasers, as Is

Night Lodging Rcuse.

Thirty weary footed strangers found refuge
in the night lodging house Saturday night, and
more than that number were accommodated
last night. This is one of the most practical
charities ever instituted in the city. A supper
of hot coffee and bread is furnished to the
successful applicants; then they have warm,
clean bed to sleep in, and when they turn out
in the morning find 8 breakfast which, though
it might not appear inviting to some of delicate
taste, is warm, clean, wholesome and In abun-
dance. The fame of the might lodging house
has spread over the road to every part of the
country, and the first thing asked by foot
travellers coming into the city is to be directed
to the lodging house. It Is not refuge for
tramps or persons Of q Suspicious character.
Men who wish to lodge there have to apply at
the station-houses for tickets of sdmittance,
and they are subjected to rigid examination,
and II they are known to the police as hsbitual
tramps or improper characters they are re-
fused.
Many of those accommodated are old and
penniless veterans who have come to this
city in search Of pensions, and many are men
whose appearance and address is surprisingly
genteel. The rules of the house regarding
cleanliness are strictly enforced, 90 that there
is none of the filth and sloth which might be ex-
pectedins such place. The gloomy and cheerless
old Guard house seems a paradise to most of the
tinue on their weary and hungry journey they
must remember with pleasure one night spent
comfortably, and with full and thankful
stomach, in the Washington Night Lodging
House.

Mount Sinai A. n. E. Church.

The services at this church located on North
Carolina avenue, Fourteenth and B streets
northeast, were conducted with special refer
ence to the excited and confused condition of
the country Every one present during the
day seemed to be thoroughly impressed with
the troubled state of political affairs and the
gloomy and threatening attitude of political
events, as inspired by partisan feeling running
to excess over the Presidential canvass, which,
though closed so far as the depositing of bal.
lots is concerned, Is still left if possible even
in greater doubt as 10 results than at any time
since the nominations were made. The morn
ing service consisted In prayers and devotional
songs, accompanied by sermon on the special
providence Of God In the affairs ofsnations, as
well as of churches, families and individuals.
The afternoon services were entirely devoted
TO prayers for the future peace, prosperity and
happiness of our land and nation.
The most earnest suppiieations were offered
that God would, of. his infinite mercy, bring
peace out of the present confusion, light out OF
the present darkness >prdero ont ofdifficulty and
sustain the right against the wrong, thas the
principles of justice and equity, may be ss-
sured to all tie Inhabitants Of this great land.

nish ample ground for hope that beyond all
the trials, conflicts, dissppointments and at
fictions Of to-day may be changed 10 bright
ness, joy and peace to morrow, through the
special interposition Of Providence.
The services Of the day closed with q sermon
in the evening, pointing to the certainty Of
Gods purpose to purify, as well as to save, the
nation, and encouraging the people to "wait
patiently upon the Lord and be Of good cour-
age, and he shah strengthen thy heart"

Probable Sale of a Half Interest in
the North Wisconsin.

1t is rumored in railroad circles that Jacob Hums
bird the we'll known railroad builder is about sell
his interest in the North Wisconsin Railroad to GER
tain parties interested in the Sioux City Railway OF
rumor Is uncertain and not altogether relia>
BILE. However, this much is pretty evident, that
gotiatons to this effect have been going for consd-
cradle of time, and it is quite probable that
thing of this kind may transpire. Should such a
thing take place have strong that ar
rangements will be perfected at for the complies
ton of twenty miles more of the North Wisconsin
road. The clearing of the from trees and
york which be done in the winter, will be rushed
along so that early next summer the road will be
completed for the distance above spoken of.
1t also stated that under the pending arran ge>
tents there is reasonable probability that Rice
Lake will be the terminus of the twenty mile division
which has greatly inspired the settlers thereabouts
Ye reporter is much inclined to think there is some,
thing in This rumor, nevertheless, it is best to re-
member that in railroad talk there is frequently
good deal of smoke with small amount of fire.
