Lndre Nalsnn sent Down.

Poor old Judge Nelson! He still bears
traces Of what he was once. His jaunty little
step, his greasy hat, perched upon one side Of
his head, his coat buttoned across his vest, his
evident desire to impress people with an idea
that he is somebody, makes him generally in
teresting to strangers. His air Is that Of a
Napoleon or Rothschild in bad luck. He
carries his head on his shoulders as II he were
proud Of the brain inside Of 1t. He is always
wrapped In thought. Perhaps lie Is thinking
Of the worn and whitened spots on his coat
that have been linked over, or Is discussing the
problem of how man without o cent in his
pocket can get three square meals day. But
Judge Nelson, whatever may be his thoughts,
would never let the world know that he Is not
flush, II he could help It. He holds his head
up as high as If it was crowned with seven
dollar beaver, and walks as proudly as II he
was dressed in new broadcloth. He Is not q
stranger in the Police Court, and his comical,
hopeful face appeared at the dock window yes
terday He was charged with being loud and
boisterous at the st. Marc hotel. He was al
lowed to make q statement, which was very
different from that made by the officer. The
Court was not at all impressed with the state
ment. He told the Judge" not tostay around
| the hotels, as he was running the risk Of being
sent down for vagraucy again. lie then fined
| him s.. As the Judge did not happen to have
that amount with him he went down for seven
| days.

veyed to the Eighth precinct station, where he
remained until Sunday morning, when he was
released; hut in very short time officer Ofutt
brought him back drunk In wagon. He was
brought back again in the same condition
Monday morning. Judge Smell sent him down
on Monday for ninety days. He was taken
sick in the Police Court, and after his arrival
at the work house he was placed in the hos
pital and died there Tuesday afternoon.
Coroner Patterson was notified and held an
inquest yesterday. From the evidence adduced
before the inquest IL seems that White received
little or no attention from the time he entered
the hospital until his death.
The verdict of the jury was that he came to
his death from hcmorrhagc and laccration OF
the brain resulting from violence, the nature
Of which was unknown to the jury. The de-
ceased was about thirty-four years Of age, and
was man Of intelligence. He studied medi.
cine, aud at one time occupied the position OF
an acting assistant surgeon In the United
States army, from which he was discharged
OH account of his love Of strong drink.

Little Hands Mustn't Handle.

Rather q good story Is told in connection
with visit which the Rev. Mr.. Chadwick paid
to yassar College, few years ago. Mr.. Chad.
wick, who Is widely known as an eXpounder
Of the Unitarian doctrine, Is extremely youth.
full in his appearance, and his smooth, fresh
face and slight figure have gained for him the
sobriquet Of the "boy preacher" Having been
requested by several Of his parishioners, who
had daughters at Vassar, to visit them, he
complied. and, at the invitation Of the lady
principal dined in the large hall with the stu
dents. and was shown TO a scat at the right
hand Of Miss Maria Mitchell, the professor Of
astronomy. Miss Mitchell Is not partial to
boys, aud paid no attention to her neighbor,
who was presented to her as Mr.. Chadwick,
until he ventured to remark that he would be
very much pleased to visit the observatory, Of
which Miss Mitchell has charge.
well, you may come to the observatory, "
she replied.
"But would like to 20 over IT," continued
the reverend gentleman.
"You may go over It, too, but you mustn't
touch anything; touch not" Is the rule there, n
replied Miss Mitchell, shortly, and resumed
her dinner.
Mr.. Chadwick looked blank for moment
and then took in the situation, and with q
twinkle In his eye resumed the attack.
| II would like to find you there, Mis-,
Mitchell"
"Oh, Pm too busy to see any one," she re-
turned, without looking around.
Some few minutes afterward he made som,
remark about his church and his parishioners
Miss Mitchell surveyed him q moment with
stare Of profound astonishment, and then sale
| with characteristic coolness: IF you are Johr
Chadwick you may come to the observatory

Death Of Columbus q. Nealy.

The serious illness of Mr.. Columbus q. Nealy
was noticed In yesterdays REPUBLICAN,. Since
then news has been received of his death at
jacksonville, Fla on Tuesday evening. Upon
the receipt Of a dispatch from Senator Conover
last Monday announcing his dangerous illness,
Mr.. Nealy's father started Immediately for
Jacksonville, but before he had been on the
journey twenty.four hours second dispatch
announced that all was over. Mrs. Mary E.
Ncaly, mother of the deceased, Is In the noun
tainS Of West Virginia, isolated from railroads
and telegraph lines, but Mr.. Sid Nealy leaves
to-day to carry the mournful message and ac-
company her home. Columbus Nesly was
twenty mine years old last March. He entered
the army when but fourteen years Of age,
served through the entire war in the artillery
service, and received the highest praises for
gallantry and bravery on the battlefield from
his superior officer, Captain Nailor in q letter
addressed to Mrs. Nealy. During the latter
part of the war he caught fever ut Fort
Washington, and his health has been poor ever
since. For the past year he has been In the
mail service on the st. Johns river, but the
terrible Southern fever proved too much for
his already broken-down constitution. His
soul was as spotless as snow, and with every
one who enjoyed his acquaintance he was q
favorito. He had many friends In this city
who will deeply regret his death. Tho body
will be brought to Washington for burial.

why Otto Richter Committed Suicide.

On the 18th day Of June, Otto Richter .
clerk in the Quartcrmaster Generals Office,
committed suicide In the yard Of his house,
on Twenty fourth street, between q and II,
by shooting himself through the head. The
cause Of the act was said to be petty quarrel
with his wifo about some cats. His widow
being illiterate, did not learn what the news
papers said about tho suicide until some time
after 1t had happened. She now states that
neither she nor the cats had anything to do
with the death at ALL Mr.. Richter had been
mentally worried, pctulant and out Of sorts
for over q week before his death. After the
death it was discovered that he had been
worsted In o financial transaction, and she
believes that that caused him to shoot himself.
The house IN which Richter was living was
held by q man named Parker, employed In the
Quartermaster Generals Office, rs administra-
tor. There was some talk between the two
about Richter buying the house. Parker bor-
rowed 500 from him on the condition that II
Richter bought the house the loan should be
considered as Q partial payment. Richter
afterwards, II Is said, discovered that the
affairs of the estate had not yet been settled
and that he could not get title to the prop
erty II he bought 1t, and that his 500 was
gone. She states that 1t was on account Of this
that her husband killed himself, and that she
has been unable to get possession Of the loaned
money.
