THE WASHINGTON EXCURSION
AS will be seen by local notice in this
issue an excursion train will run to
Washington on the 18th of June. Round
trip tickets, good for two days will be
issued at $500 from this and neigh
boring stations. A number of our
citizens have expressed determination
to go. To parties who have not visited
the capital it affords an excellent oppor-
tunity. The attractions of Washing
ton are equal if not superior to those of
the larger cities of the Union. The
Smithsonian Institute, with its large
museum, the Corcoran Art Gallery, the
Public Parks, are attractive and full of
interest. The Capital, Post Office De-
partment, Treasury, White House,
Navy Department and Patent Office
all are very attractive and will afford to
excursionists objects Of unusual interest.
To those who are fond of riding upon
the water and of river scenery, the ex-
cursions down the Potomac by moon
light and by day to Mt. Vernon will
furnish the opportunity Of enjoying
themselves. Arrangements have been
made with some of the hotels by which
all parties can secure Accommodations
at very reasonable rates. AS this is
the first opportunity of visiting Wash
ington at low rates that has been given
our people, 1t IS probable that large
number will take advantage of it.
First class cars will be furnished and
the truin will be under the charge of
Supt. J. Fl. Averill and Capt. Jno. G.
Sn,ith-a sufficient guarantee that every
thing will be arranged for the pleasure
and comfort Of the excursionists.

The circumstances of the affair are

Tuition Snubbed.
WASHINGTON, July Q.

w WAShlN0IONy Ouiy %
Tuition has been completely snubbed by
Secretary Sherman in the case of Arnold,
the Inspector or Deputy Collector at
Chester. When at 4.05 Saturday afte,-
noon Secretary Sherman received a dis
patch from Collector Tuition, saying:
"Chalge already ma lie, in the very face
of Secretary She-man's order that he
must delay action in reference to the re-
moyal of Arnold until further advised by
the dtpai tment, he waxed wroth, and
telegraphed to Tuition: "You have no
authority to remove without approval of
this departme Mt. You will recall your
order to the Inspector"
Before noon to-day a dispatch was re-
lived by the Secretary from Tuition,
announcing that he bad reinstaied Arnold
Congressman Ward is still here, and has
informed the President and Secretary
Sherman that he regards the action OF
Tuition in this case as az intended per-
sonal insult to himself Mr.. Ward states
to your correspondent that in Apr last
Tuition said to him that he thought OF
missing Arnold beeau he held a
place az an editor of the Delaware county
american. Mr.. Ward did n It think that
good reason, but, however,
his place in the newspaper offic5 and
Tuition seemed to be- pacitied. utton
desired to have the post office at Down
iDgtown removed from one part of The
town to the other. Congressman Ward
opposed it, and for this reason he (Ward)
thinks Tuition sought revenge by the
dismissal of Arnold. He says Arnold
was not appointed by his influence in
the first place, but as he had him give mp
his place on the newspaper he thOug bit il
his duty to take up his fight. Tutton
wrote letter TO the department, giving
as his reason for the removal of Arnold
his newspaper connection.

TIRED OF LIFE.
A MIDDLE AGED MAN SEEKS A wATERY
GRAVE ON ACCOUNT OF LOVE.


GRAVE ON ACCOUNT OF LOVE.
Another victim of the tickle goddess love,
committed suicide last evening, is is said, on
account of the fekleness of his lady love.
The despondenS individual gave his name
as Calvin E. Tuition, and had been board
ing at the hotel of James W. King, corner
OF Water and Market streets, since last
April At different times, he had stated to
his fellow boarders that his folks were all
well off, one OF his uncles owning very
large marble quarry in Vermont, and that
one OF bis Sisters was very wealthy, and
lived in Massachusetts ~
During his residence here he had been
verv sJher and industrious, having worked
at Harlau's as fancy sawyer. During this
time here be had also received letters from
business men from all parts OF the country.
Mr. King states that in company with
several other pctlons Tutton was sitting in
front OF the hotel, last night, and at 20 min
ut before 10 o'clock he suddenly got up
and started towards tbe Market street bridge,
but thinking that be would soon return, MI. i.
King paid no attention to him.
Finding that he did not return, Mr.. X.
Instituted Inquiries this morning, and learned
from Mr.. William Robinson, bridge tender,
that q man crossed the bridge about that
time last evening, keeping his face bid and
turned away, and when he had reached the
center, he walked out upon the pier, and
jumped overboard. Mr.. Robinson heard
the splash, and seizing his lantern, ran to
the spot, but the man had disappeared, and
nothing could be seen but the wake in the
water where ht had sunk. 1t appears that
he was very much in love with q young
lady, living at Jacksonville, ILL.,, and that
recently he received letter from her,
al hA lhrnnuh
city in short time on her way to Saratoga,
where she was going to spend the summer.
Not having received any further Intelligence
from the young lady since the above, it ap-
pears that he became dispondent with the
result as stated above.
The unfortunate man was about 35 years
of age. Coroner Rose, is having the creek
dragged for the body, but up to. this writing
