Death OF Mr.. Harry Weaver.

From dispatch received in this city yester-
day morning from High Spire, near Harris
burg. Pa, the many friends and acquaintance
of Mr.. Harry Weaver will no doubt be shocked
to learn that he died Tuesday night at the
house of his parents in that town. Mr.. Weaver
originally came to Washington in 1864, and
was engaged at Mr.. Sandcrson's wellknown
restaurant on Capitol Hill for n considerable
period. Afterward he WAS employed at the
Metropolitan Hotel, and subsequently, at Will
lard's for about six years, aud from that place
he moved to the adjoining house, and, iu com.
pany with Mr. Charles Losekam, opened the
popular restaurant known as the "Maison
D'Oree." Harry" as he was familiarly
known, was one of the most genial, gentle
manly and courteous hosts that ever provided
for the inner man, aud by his frank and open
manner had gained the esteem and respect of
all who were brought in contact with him. He
left the city in June last for his home to rest
and recuperato. Mr.. Weaver was about thirty
five years Of age, unmarried, and enjoyed good
health until recently, when he WIS attacked
with Bright's disease Of the kidneys, to which
he fell a victim,

Officer Auldridge was notified yesterday
afternoon that little white girl not more
than twelve years old had been inveigled into
the house of woman named Jennie Perry, on
Thirteen .and-a-half street northwest, and it
was suspected that she was not there for any
good purpose. The officer went to the house
aud found the statement true. The girl was
taken to the Fifth precinct station, where
she gave her name rs Maggie Windsor, and
stated that she lived on d. between First and
Second streets southwest She met tie Perry
woman on the Avenue about week ago, the
latter stopping her and asking for pin. A
short conversation ensued, during which the
woman said she had little girl about the age
of her listener, and invited her to call down
and see her. She gave the number Of her
house and the little girl went to see her yes
terday. She stated that she had only been In
the house few minutes when the officer came
for her. Her parents were notified, and while
waiting for them the child stated that SHE
was willing to go home and break off with
bad associates. Jennie Perry is the woman
who recently became notorious in connection
with the little girl Allie Crawford, whose case
excited considerable public sympathy.
The parents of the girl called at the station
last night, and after upbraiding her for her
evil conduct, carried her home with them.

mander of the steamer Frances, before that

libel suits laid against tho vessel. These were
