Messrs Leon Tobriner and Hine d Thomas
yesterday filed bill on the equity side of
the Supreme court of the District, ON behalf
of loretta Rehm against Minna Keppler to
establish the will of the late Wilhelmina
Eichler. The bill AYERS that Mrs Eichler, who
then resided here, in 1876 executed her last
will aud testament, and after making some
minor requests, she devised and bequeathcd
the remainder of her estate to complainant
and defendant equally; that Mrs. Eichler
died in March, 1878, and that the will was
taken possession of by defendant, at whose
house Mrs. Eichler died, and by her Destroyed
that the considerations inducing Mrs. Eichler
to provide for complainant, were, that Mrs
Echler was the second wife of Mr. Christian
Letmate, complainants father, whose first
wife, the complainanPs mother, was sister
to Mrs. Eichler that Letmate died in 1858
and left surviving said Wilhelmina his
widow, and complainant and her brother
that the widow administered on Letmates es-
tate, which consisted Of a large stock of jew
elry, aud never made proper return or in
ventory thereof, or distributed the same to
the complainant and her brother. This stock
was then taken possession of by William Eich-
Ter, now dead, man of no resources what
ever, whom the widow had married short
time after Letmates detth, and formed the
basis of the estate that Wilhelmina Eicher
subsequently, acquired. The bill proceeds to
aver that defendant, with the Intent of de.
fraudng complainant out of her just rights
under said will, has concealed or destroyed
the same for the purpose of claiming the es-
tate Ms the sole hcir-at-law and only child of
said Wilhelmina Eichler The estate is valued
at $50, 600, part thereof being the premises
now occupied by Mr.. Charles Baum on Seventh
street northwest Some very interesting and
romantic family history will be brought out
in the proof of the case.

GEORG ETOWN NEVIS.

The Georgetown Assembly will hold their
fourth entertainment tomorrow night at For
rest Hall. The preparations are being made
on the same extensive scale as heretofore, in
consequence of which II largo attendance and
an enjoyable occasion may be anticipated. In
this connection mention may be made of au
expected german which, so rumor asserts
will be given on Friday night ut the same
hall. A number of ontcrprsing young gentle
men are getting up the affair, aud rs u gem
uine, full-hedged german is an unusual event
in this benighted burg, it will most probably
meet with success. Tho few previous ones
heretofore given have been under the man
agement Of the young ladies of Georgetown,
but the present german, it is understood, is
under the exclusive management of the
young bachelors. 1t remains to be seen
whether they will be able to eclipse their fair
rivals.
Yesterday afternoon, while two colored men
were driving a dOublc-team carriage down
Bridge street, one of the horses slpped and
fell near the corner of Congress street. bruising
his leg considerably. The other animal be-
coming frightened, started up, and would
have run away had not the occupants of the
carriage, who jumped out Immediately, with
the assistance of several passers-by, succeeded
in getting firm hold of them. Tho carriage
was, however, dragged some distance, and the
pole, striking against u large paving.stone,
snapped off.

A report was received in town yesterday
that colored man named Clinton who makes
n living by vending vegetables, &C., shot a
man late Sunday night. 1t seems that the
said Clinton was on his way from Rock vile to
Georgetown with number of sheep aud truck
in his wagon. Two white men suddenly
sprang out Of the woods, and said they were
going to Georgetown too, aud demanded a
ride Clinton told them there was no room
for more. With an oath the men said they
would see about that, and Immediately
grabbed hold of the bride. The owner of the
team ordered them to drop it or he would
shoot. The men were game it seems, and
were not to be buifed. Clinton therefore shot
! one of them, intlicting a slight wound, upon
which both fed. Clinton surrendered himself
to the Rockville authorities, giving full ex-
plantations of the occurrence. lie was ordered
TO appear at court.
Tho many friends of Mr.. George +. Cart.

Last Evening.

Wuat was seen at the Art entertainments
Last Evening.
Professor G.. r. Cromwell delivered the first
of his lectures on art or visual aud oral art
illustrations at Lincoln Hall last evening be-
foro tolersbly numerous audience. The lee
turer, who was in q remarkably amiable frame
of mind, told his hearers that ho would show
them some Of the graudcst sights the earth
affords, aud how we'll he kept his promise was
evidenced by the continuous bursts of applause
rs each new picture drifted into view The
views were thrown upon very large screen, the
instrument used being the most perfect of the
kind. The elearness Of definition and arcu-
racy with which the objects were presented
was something wonderful, aud the gratifying
effect upon the eye could hardly have been
surpassed by sight of the originals. The
subject OF the evening was Italy, the Art
Land" illustrated from Palermo to Venice
The first slide thrown upon the white canvass
was view OF the Cathedral ut Palermo,
magnificent building whose grand proportions
were amply displayed by the calcium light
Next came u statue by a modern artist, repre-
senting Italy, quickly followed by modern
and ancient masterpieces of statuary art,
among them, "Niobe and her Daughter" Her
cules Staying the Contaur," Venus dc Mo.
dici," Minerva" &c.-a very beautiful
effect. In the presentation of these pic
lures was the gradual melting away of one
view into another. Naples and vicinity were
the first pictures of architecture and land
scape shown. "Seo Naples and die says the
poet, and the poets head was level If one may
be permitted to pass judgment upon Professor
CrOmwelPs picture of the world.iamcd city.
There were also some very vivid views of
Pompei, in which this famous and fated city
of antiquity was exhibited most graphically.
Passing on, the eye was delighted with views
of ST. Peters, the Vatican, views of Venice, her
magnificent buildings, churches, palaces,
scenes along her quiet river avenues, the
Bridge OF Signs" and the "I.alto." The
lecture was concluded with II brief glance at
Milan aud most beautiful representation Of
the Rock of Ages" This evening the Pro-
lessor will treat the people of Washington to

THE Warranton Inder, in givingIan
account of the discussion between
Auditor Massey and Capt. Shepherd
says:
Mr.. Massey appeared as afraid of an
Interrogation as Of a dagger, and moi
till pressed repeatedly did he answer
concerning the Independent ticket. His
position on that subject was this: His
party should have an independent
electoral ticket that they might make
Virginia potent IN selecting President;
that it was not their intention to vote
for Republican, though possibly, if the
Democratic nominee did not suit them,
they might do so. Our Re-adiuster
friends seemed to comprehend the
meaning of these contingencies, and
we think will have nothing to do with
the headless fraud.

WHY THE NEGROES SUPPORT MA

correspondent of the New York Tine,
gives te reasons why the negroes ap.
proved Of Mahone's new movement.
He says -
"They saw it in the great opportuni.
ty of breaking down the Democracy, the
opportunity which they had so long de-
sired, and they thought that by joining
1t they would in no way relinquish any
Of the Republican principles which, des.
pjte "the reconciliation party" were
still most dear to them. In addition to
every other inducement, they were as
sured that if they supported Malone
and the new party. they would be pro
tected in all their political rights anc
would be allowed to share freely In any
benefits which might follow the defea
Of the Democracy"
