District Government Notes.

MAJOR Morgan ms accepted an uDpOlnt-
ment as a member OF the Board of Visitors of
the Providence Hospital.
The District Commissioners have issued
letter TO the residents of street southeast re-
4uesting them to alter the front gates along
that street so that they Will open inward and
not obstruct the narrow sidewalk.
The Commissioners to-day considered the
proprlety OF granting a permit for the erection
Of an extensive addition to the Baltimore Il
Potomac depot, and decided that as the depot
was on United States ground, and the building
regulations forbid the Interference of the Dis.
trict officers with any United States buildings,
they could not take any action whatever In the
matter This decision on the part of the Com.
missioners Will prevent the issuing OF per-
init, ana VIII also restrain the Inspector OF
buildings from interfering in the work.
The Commissioners have received nllmer-
GUS complaints of the practice OF occupying
vacant lots by piles OF lumber II Is alleged
that 1t is customary for lumber dealers TO de-
poslt planks and boards on lots and pay the
proprietors OF such lots for the privilege II Is
claimed that this practice is very dangerous In
cases OF fire, and that piles OF lumber are ex-
ceedlngly inflammable and should not be per-
United In localities where the erection of frame
buildings is prohibited. The Commissioners
Will probably Issue an order against the con.
tinuanco OF this practice.
The Commissioners have received letter
from Vienna, written by the descendants OF
Johan Springer, which claims that that gentle
man emigrated TO America about one hundred
years ago and died In this city few years
since at the ripe old age OF 10 years. leaving
fortune OF $24,OOO,O00, to which the writer's
have claim. The letter requests that any
Information which can be obtained concerning
this man DO communicated TO his descendants
in Vienna. The letter does not state where the
fortune IL, but fntimates that II is concealed at
tho place OF Joan Springers death, and thai
any person giving Information concerning tie
deceased Will be literally rewarded Tho let.

HOW ANDREW JACKSON FELT ABOUT HIS
NONINdTION

g Bishop Paine In The Nashville Christian Adrocatc.
Upon one occasion | called at the Hermitage, and
soon perceived there trouble thereAirs Jackson
was IN tears and the General unusually silent and
sad Privately the cause soon leaked out. A COM
mittee of the Tennessee Legislature, then sitting in
Murfreesboro had just left the Hermitage they
had come to inform the General that the Legisa-
t,rre would nominate him for President of the
United States unless he should forbid it, Mrs Jack
son was exceedingly distressed She loved home
and retirement, and had taste or ambition to be
gratlfcd elsewhere; but her greatest objection
that she feared the political strife incident to the
nomination would divert the attention of her hus-
band from the subject of religion, and imperil his
salvation.
He, too, shared in these feelings, saying: 81
have been looking forward to release rom public
Office and and its cares, thinking would then at
tend in earnest to my religious affairs, and dread
the excitement likely to spring up If my friends per
sist do not covet more honors my country has
honored me enough and prefer quiet but having
said that no should seek the office, any pa
triot reject it when called toi can only say, l
could not refuse il If rendered" These We're sub
siantially his words, and | believe they expressed
his real sentiments d! sympat hized with MrsJack-
son. feeling anxious for his salvation than his
election to the Presidency of the United States.
