Robbing n Drowned Wan.

James Thomas Olden, cOlorcd, who lived
on l. street southeast, between Second and
Third, has been acting rs chief cook at the
Ocean House, at Yorktown, during the cclc-
bration. On Saturday night Olden started
for home, and, leaving the wharf, walked
on a gang-plank to the Franklyn, small
boat, from which he was trying to jump on
board the steamer Lady of the Lake, when
he fell in the water, and instantly sinking,
was drowned before assistance could reach
him. The body was recovered and efforts
made to resuscitate the unfortunate man.
Dick Evans, who assisted in these efforts
was seen to take $50 from the stocking of
the deceased, and on his arrival in Washing

Yeatman.
Evans was taken to Police Headquarters
this morning, and confessed taking the
money, but said he had handed it over to II

Evans was locked up to await the action

why Mowe's Name Was Not Sent In.

There was considerable speculation at the
Capitol this afternoon over the failure of
the President to send in the nomination of
ex-senator Howe to be Attorney General
One rumOr was that MacVcagh had been
urged again to remain in the Cabinet until
after the Starroute prosecutions close, and
that he had concluded ut the last moment
to do so. Very many people, however, did
not credit the rumor rs being well based.
1t is known that the Western men have
made strong warfare against Howe's
nomination, and the most general impress
sion is that they have succeeded in defeating
him. There are n few who believe, though,
that if Howe is not appointed Attorney
General, that he will be appointed Secretary
of the Interior.

s.uifcitii's Trial.

1t is intimatcd that the question Of. NAL
practice may enter into the trial of Gull
teau but the original counsel, Mr.. Scoville,
has not made this an issue. He, while CIV
ing his entire attention to the defense on
the ground of insanity, will not object to
any course desired and demanded by his as
sistant in the management of the case. AS
the question of insanity is one which is
both difficult to establish and disprovc Of 1t
is likely that the trial will be tedious and
protracted. If the evidence be, as claimed
both by the prosecution and the defense,
and If, as it is believed, it be admitted by
the Court the question of malpractice will
develop much of Importance upon the sub
icct of medical jurisprudence, though the
Court will be denied the benefit of the tcs-
timony of DIR. Sims, of New York, who is
reported to have sailed yesterday for Europe.
Mr.. Scovillc is quite busy in his corre-
spondencc with persons whom he will have
TO summon as witnesses to establish the in
sanity of Guiteau. While some physicians
incline to the belief that Guiteau is
medically, but not legally insanc," the de-
termination of his moral responsibility can
only be pronounced upon by the Court In
the trial of the case. As the defense is nj
lowed only certain number of witnesses,
Guiteau's counsel is seeking to ascertain
who of the numerous list can testify most
impartially and accurately as to the men
tai condition of the accused previous to the
tragedy which resulted in President Gar
fields death. To-day week subpGnas will
be issued for the witnesses for Guteau who
reside in different sections of the Union. In
fact witnesses will be summoned from New
York and New England, rs well rs from
several States in the Northwest. Guiteau
himself will be placed on the witness stand
and the jury be given an opportunity to
hear him In n statement that may be re-
marlably in many respects.

An Alleged Scandal.

The Post yesterday published what pur-
ported to be the facts concerning certain
Irregularities in the Government Printing
Office. presided over by one J, ID. Defrees.
These alleged irregularities did not extend
to matters of business, but affected, to a
greater or less degree, the moral standing of
some of the employees. There arc great
many people, male and female, employed
in that hive of industry, and as
no names were mentioned in the
Post article there was good deal of indig-
nation expressed as general suspicion was
aroused. While there may be black sheep
in the flock at the Printing office, We know
that the bad men and lewd women arc the
exception. But charge so sweeping rs
that made yesterday affects all parties, and
hence The Critic is not surprised at the
expressions of indignation which were
expressed yesterday, and this morning
started out to make some inquiries OH the
subject. From all that could be learned
upon the subject, it would seem that the
person aimed at in the Post article is A. ii.
s. Davis, the foreman of Printing, who, it
is alleged, has for some time been Every
sweet" upon one of the female employees,
who halls from an interior town in Penn
sylvania. Whether Davis had been guilty
of absolute wrong doing or not it is impos-
sible to say. But certainly his actions led
to suspicious differences, for he was in the
habit of retiring during the noon hour to n
secluded nook in the folding-roOm and
there enjoying comfortable tetc-a-tete
with female fir lend or perhaps, female
friends. This has been going on from day
to day for long time, and has been winked
at simply because of the position Davis
held and the power he could WELD against
any one who might be bold enough to pro-
test.
We are led to make this statement only
because justice to the innocent require it.
1t is cruel to make broad statement OF
wrong.doing of this character and leave
it to common rumOr to fix on the guilty
parties. Suspicion is too likely to rest on
the innocent instead of the guilty. Espec-
tally is an explanation proper when one in
high position so demeans himself rs to
disgrace himself and the position he occu-
pics.
Davis is thoroughly incapable to fill the
position he occupies, and has long been the
laughing stock of all who have come in con-
tact with him. and no one but Dcfrees
would have allowed him to remain in ii a
month.
That an investigation is bound to follow
is certain, for the mass of employees who
feel that they have been slandcred, will not

AMUSEM ENTS,


All of our readers are familiar with the
name of this actor Five years ago he was
the leading man of Ford's stock company
that was in the day of stock companies
and came here from California asa favoritc
actor, and popular among the people of the
occidental slope. Mr.. Kecnc was then
quite fair actor, nothing more. lie had
all the attributes of an artst-a splendid
stage appearance, and was fine reader,
barring crudcncss that savored of the too.
old school. He was neither decidedly popular
nor pronounccdly unpopular in our city
He filed the bill of requirements placed
upon him by the position, and thriddcd
through the season with negative sort of
success. His successssincc that time seems
to have been phenomenal. From lead
ing actor in the ordinary line he has
stepped into the front ranks of the dramatic
leaders Of the world, and to-day stands side
by side with Booth, Irving Mccullough,
Barrett, and even Barry Sullivan.
We understand that Mr.. Kceno has made
u speciality of Shakspcare's most interest
ing-as well rs his most dillicult-historical
drama of Orchard ILL.," No play from
the pen of Shakespeare requires more deli
cate and mt the same time more powerful
acting than Richard, and the general
verdict of the press IL that Mr.. kecne is n
perfect master of the character. Barry
Sullivan is the grandest Richard that the
present age has seen. lie has been seen in
Washington some few years ago, and his
magnificent delineation of the character
thrilled with awe, as it held with interest,
the immense audiences Tonight we shall
see Mr. Keenc at the National, and as his
friends claim for him that he surpasses Sui
Ivan, the actor will be put to the test.
His repertoire embraces u more varied
and extensive list of legitimate drama than
that of any other actor on the stage. He is
ably supported, and his engagement here
will be brilliant, and we doubt not, sue.
ccssful.
