A Card from Grnnd Jnrymen.

To the CtiseHs Of the District Of COlumJd:
The Post of the Goth Of June, after prin ting
the report Of the grand jury aud stating how
the same was received at the commissioners
office, quotes Mr.. Dent ndignau tly exclaim ing:
That IL was piece of spi ork ou the pa rt
Of Hodgson, tue foreman, who was formerly
intendant at tho Washington asylum, and has
been trying to get back again"
The grand jury had nothing to do with the
fact that Mr.. Joseph Hodgson had been II
former intendant of the asylum, but we had
all to do with the examination of frauds per-
petrated on taxpayers of the District. Said
investigation resulted in indictiug certain
parties for forgeries and conspiracy, and in
the report made TO the attorney of the United
States, George B. Corkhil, facts and alega-
tions, based on facts only, were made. If this
report hurts Mr. Dent or any other commits
sioncr, it is not the fault or caused by the
action Of the grand jury. We only did our
sworn duty. Aud while Mr. Dent pays our
late foreman high compliment when he says it
was spile-work of Mr.. Hodgson, the foreman
thereby implying that Mr.. Hodgson had sufi-
cient personal influence, intelligence and
brain'force to influences tweuty.one present
members to sign report in which they did
not believe, he indirectly assumes to know
that the Intelligence and integrity of the
twenty-ouc grand jurors referred to were not
Of that character and stability which should
constitute grand jury. While We believe
that in point Of integrity aud character the
grand jury referred te are the peers of Mr..
Dent, we leave it to the people of the District,
whose interest we have tried 10 protect, to
Judge between us.

Too Hot for Them.

Despite the excessively hot weather q good
attendance was at the backgrounds yesterday
afternoon TO witness the cham pioAship contest
between the Albany aud National clubs.
Derby pitched for the homo team and Baker
caught, Lynch being laid Off, suffering from
8 strain. He was not missed, for Derby
proved so efficient in the position that the
visitors could do nothing with him, and
secured only eight hits in the game. On the
other hand the Nationals had no trouble in
hitting Nichols, aud in the fifth innings
drove him from his position, Say being sub.
shtutcd. The heavy batting OF the home nine
pretty well dcmoralized the visiting team, aud
Us consequence many an unearned run was
scored.
This afternoon, in compliance with general
request, and to avoid as much as possible the
heat, the game will be called at 4:30 o'clock
1t is understood that Keefc will pitch for the
visitors while the Nationals will play the same
team.

Name with Shotgun.
A dcplorablo family feud resulted yesterday
morning In the shooting of a man named
Isaiah Stewart by his sou Henry, on Vermont
avenue, between and S streets northwest.
The elder Stewart, who lives on College hill
Georgetown, was employed in painting house
in the locality named about IL o'clock yester-
day morning, when the son approached aud
fired vt him with an old army muslSet loaded
with heavy charge Of bird-shot. Tho shot
took effect in the back of the fathers head
and neck, some scattering shot imbedding
themselves in his right arm. The injuries,
while OF a worry painful character, are not ex-
pectod to prove fatal. The wounded man after
the occurrence walked to his home. Young
Stewart, who is only nineteen years of
age, was placed under arrest by Officer
Morgan of the second precinct aud
locked up at the station-house. lie says
that he shot his father in vndicaton Of his
mother whom the old man had scandalized.
Isaiah Stewart is living apart from tho mother
of Henry the pair having been divorced, aud
it is alleged by the son that Isaiah is constantly
annoying his mother by circulating scurrilous
stories about her Henry and his brother
live with their mother. 1t is said that Hem
ry's brother some years ago attempted tp in
dict similar punishment upon his father for
defaming his mother. Recently, having be-
come more than usually offensive in his man
ner, Henry, IL is said, armed himself with the
musket aud went cunning for his father.

Two Exciting Boating Events on the Eastern
Branch,


Upward of $500 people gathered in the vi
cinity of the Anacostia bridge over the Eastern
branch yesterday afternoon to witness scull.
ing contest between three crews in pair-oarcd
working boats. The entries were Roberts and
Fowler, Herbert and Brown and Duvall aud
Riley, and the distance one aud a-half miles
with turn. The race had been announced
| to take place at o'clock, but a strong wind
sprung up, making the water rough, and it
was feared that the race would have 10 be
postponed. The oarsmen, however, deter
mined to start, and q few minutes past 7
| tho word and they were of Horbort
and Brown had decidedly the advantage
at the start, gaining a lead of a clear
boats length, aud maintaining their ad-
vantage to the turning buoy seemed sure
to get home first. Roberts and Fowler, after
squaring away for the finish, began TO press
| the leaders, aud within 800 yards of the finish
were on even terms with them. Herbert and
his companions were not equal to the emor.
gency, however, and slowly but surely their
opponents forged ahead. A pretty rally ensued
| within half q dozen boat lengths of the finish,
| but Fowler aud Roberts were in first, the othor
crew half a length behind. Time II minutes
| Duvall and Riley were not dangerous rivals
from the start TO the flush. and their arrival
home was not noticed. When the excitemcn,
incident 10 this race had subsidized it was an
nounced that Messrs. Lewis and Carson would
row single-scull race over the same course
The result of this contest was never in doubt
as Lewis took the lead at tho start, aud row
ing well in hand, finished fully 300 yards /,
trout of his competitor. The time wus no

that they are not likely to get to read
unless Republicans take an interest in
the matter and furnish it to them free.
He says he was deceived and imposed
on by his council, and says they were
guilty of gross outrages, cheating and
forgery. When members of his cOun-
Gil are heard from the testimony should
all be published in pamphlet as a
campaign document to be circulated
with the cypher dispatches.

exceedingly interesting review of a
musical year in London, including also
the great annual and triennial festivals
in the provinces. The illustrations are
mainly portraits, and among these we
note a superb engraving of L. Alma
Tadema's recent portrait of George
Henschel. Mr.. Abbey has added some
characteristic sketches. This paper,
which will be concluded in the May
number, is, we understand, the first OF
a series of contributions by Mr.. and
Mrs. Lille on English subjects of liter

est, to be illustrated by Abbey.

Chamber by private passage, and es-

of a woman who claims that he is the
father of her illigitimate child. Yet
this is the situation in which Senator
