Washington Gossip.

Captain Howgate's embezzlement bids fair to
show up 100000 on the books. The attorney
general has caused him to be rearrested and
held in 900 bail. General Hazen believes
that Howgate has for four years appropriated
to his own use about one-fourth of the signal
service fund, over which he had absolute con-
troll. His private yacht on the Potomac was
actually constructed with government money in
the back yard of the signal Office. His method
of securing signatures to blank vouchers was
audacious enough TO entitle him to a premium.
He owns real estate in Florida, Virginia, and
the District of Columbia, and is known to hold
large quantities of stocks, from which the pub
lie treasury may possibly realize something.
Secretary Window notifies the holders of call
ed five per cent. registered bonds maturing
October list that they will be redeemed upon
presentation without rebate of interest The
money lies in the treasury vaults, and the secre-
tary is anxious to spread the payments over a
convenient period, and finish his scheme of
voluntary refunding at reduced rate of in
terest
Attorney General MacVeagh decided that,
although the law gave preference to ex-soldiers
as candidates for government positions, the
the right for preference could not be observed
until they had passed the same examination
prescribed for other candidates in the civil
service.

a Modern Miracle.

Savannah isn't a very good place for
tramps. Oae of the travelling fraternity
called the other day at an unpretending
looking house on Jones street. He was an
exceedingly wOe-begone kind Of a speci-
men, and inquired of the vinegar-faced
matron, who met him at the door, whether
he could 'get bite" adding, 81 am posi-
lively exhausted from hunger-haven't bad
q mOuthful for so long that l can hardly
put one foot before the other"
"COuld you get bite here ?" responded
the lady OF the house, in cheerful sort of
way. t'WelI, l think l might accommodate
you. Here, Lion ~ A massive bull dog
appeared in the farther end of the hall,
with an eager look on his expectant face.
II took the tramp but two bounds to clear
the twelve steps, and he took down the
street at rate Of speed that would have
discouraged professional pedestrian.
"Tell me the age Of miracles is past ~
murmured the Vinegar-fsced matren, with
a motherly smile, as she slammed the door.

ACownrdIE Outrage.

Last night as Mr.. B. T. Cole, an engineer
on the Central Railroad. was approaching
the city, on his train, and when several
miles distant, he received shower Of rocks
against his cab, one of which, a very large
one, passed through the glass, and mar
rowly missed him. Had he been struck,
the blow would Immediately have proven a
serious one AS the last caT-.he cOnduc-
tors ear-came along, it also was similarly
struck.
Why this Outrage was commit ed 10 ore
knows. Mr.. Cole is polite and gentlems lly
to every one, and, as far as is known, hs;
not an enemy IN the world. He saw severa
persons near the track when the stones
were thrown, but could not distinguish
them nor tell whether they were whites OF
negroes. A sharp outlook should be kept
for the dsstardly scoundrels, and, IL cap
tured, they should be taught 3 lesson
which they viii long remember.

Important SANITARY Notice.

In another column will be found sani-
tary notice from the Board Of Sanitary Com
missioners, which viii be read with great
interest.
At the meeting Of the board yesterday,
as will be seen by reference to such notice,
It was resolved TO permit no public funeral,
or allow general invitations to any funeral,
of any person who msy have died Of any
contagious or pestflential disease.
We regard this action Of the board as
highly cOmmendable. There is scarcely e
doubt that many diseases are frequently
taken and prOpagated by those attending the
funerals Of persons dying Of contagious dis
eases, and while the friends Of al such
would naturally like to pay the last sad tn
butte Of respect to their memories, still jus
tiee to the living demands that they snail
not be permitted to run the risk OF spread
ing infection. The board have come TO their
decision after careful consideration OF the
subject, and their course is eminently wise
and for the general welfare.

CUTTING sCRAPE.
MR.. John Foster seriously wounded

Last evening, about 10 o'clock, while Mr..
John Foster, one Of the foremen in the en-
ploy Of the Central Railroad Company,
charged with experimenting the loading OF
the steamship Dessoug now lying at the
wharf of that company, was engaged in his
duties, he became involved in difficulty
with Jacob Bird, one Of the negro hands.
In reply to a question asked him, the ne
gro became very insolent, and finally
was ordered from the wharf by Mr.. Foster.
Instead OF leaving, as directed, he became
still more insolent, until at length Mr.. Foss
ter seized him by the ears, with the inten-
ton Of either leading or showing him away.
As he did so, the negro struck blow at MIR.
Foster, and Immediately ran. Nothing was
thought Of It at the moment, but in very
short time it was discovered that Mr.. Foster
was cut, and examination revealed the fact
that he hsd received an ugly wound, evil
IDENTIFY with g sailors sheath knife, just
above the right nipple.
He was Immediately taken TO carriage
and driven to the Office of DR.. L. j. Charl-
ton, who found the wound to be very ugly
one, sbCu. three inches long and three In
depth. He at once dressed the wound,
which he prOnOur ced serious though not
necessarily fatal. Had It been either an inch
higher or an inch lower, however, it would
certainly have proven mortal. The wound
ed man was then taken to his place OF resi-
dence, at Mr.. Preston DiXOn's, and Is now
as comfortable as could be expected.
Mr.. Foster is from Norfolk, Virginia, and
is an industrious, hard working man, stand
ing high with the company by which he is
employed. He is also exceedingly pOpu-
lar, and there is great excitement against
the negro who stabbed him. The latter, in
the confusion incident upon the difficulty,
succeeded in making his escape. He is well
known, however, and every effort will be
made for his capture. The feeling
against him among Mr.. Fosters many
friends is so strong that, ii caught,
there is danger of his receiving summary
punishment. We hope the law will be per
nit ed to take its course, however, and
that the fellow may be speedily captured
and receive prompt justice. Mr.. Preston
Dixon, with whom Mr.. Foster was working,
desires us to state he will pay a reward of
twenty-five dollars for Birds arrest.
