JULIA SWEENEYS DEATH.
She Commits Suicide by Hanging Herself
10 n Sfair-RaiI.

The coroner yesterday investigated the
death of Mrs. Julia Sweeney, which occurred at
the house of her mother, Mrs Quill, No. 81 street
northwest, and decided that it was of suicide
Suspicion was thrown about the affair by marks
which appeared on the wOman's neck and the
silence of her relatives. The brother of the de-
ceased woman wisely concluded yesterday morn
ing that it only made matters worse TO attempt TO
conceal the manner of her death, and he disclosed
ali the facts to the authorities. 1t appears that
Mrs Quill went to a funeral Wednesday afternoon,
leaving Mrs Sweeney at home with her little child
When she returned, about half-plst six o'clock,
the child told her that her mother was sick. Ms.
Quill at once went to her sons house, next door
made some tea, and returning, started upstairs.
She was startled by encOunering at the head of
the stairs the dead body of her daughter, hanging
by rope suspended from the baluster. Mrs. Quill
gave the alarm, and the body was cut down. Mrs
Sweeney, it is stated, had been much depressed in
spirits lately on account of separation from her
husband.

Special TO The REPUBLICAN.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, May 26-The cleo
ton here to- day for municipal officers passed off
very quietly, indeed. Sfhe temperance men and
Republicans, who had formed coalition worked
earnestly for their ticket but there the best of
feeling throughout the entire city. No rows and
very little drunkenness Owing TO the failure OF
any voters TO pay their capitation tax for 1880,
and the absence of a large number of colored
men who away from the city at work
on railroads, iron furnaces coal mines, &c. ma
jority of them being in Pennsylvania the vote cast
was much lighter than might have been expected.
Many Democrats whOwere in favor ofstrirgent tenn
perance laws voted for the temperance candidates
for aldermen and eouncilmen, but voted for the
Democratic nominees for mayor, auditor, cOrpo-
ration attorney, superintendent of police, &c. and
many Republicans who were opposed to the re-
Gently passed Sunday laws, and not in favor of
the temperance people, voted for the Demo-
cratic nominees, or abstained from yot-
ing, Nearly all of the prominent Republicans,
however, took much interest in the election. The
Malone Readiusters, who had Endorsed the tenn
peranee nominees, supported the entire coali-
ton ticket of temperance men and Republicans TO
a man, several prominent supporters of Gen
eral Malone being on this ticket The result,
as near as can be learned at a late hour tonight
indicates the election of the Democratic Conser
vative ticket, as follows: Mayor, J. T. Beekham;
corporation attorney, X Kemper; auditor, F. L.

THE BIBLE REVISION,
DR.. Paxton Does Not Like It-senc gic-
marks AbOn. the English.

Rev. DR.. Paxton devoted his prayer
meeting talk mainly last evening to discus
sion of the merit of the revision of the
New Testament He said that he had dipped
into it here and there, more for the purpose of
noting the changes in the phraseology than for a
critical examination and his first impressions were
unfavorable to the revision. The changes made
in the familiar wording of the passages grated
upon the ear and, however correct they were,
the change from the OLD to the new was not a
welcome one. The fact is, that a body
of learned men can give more correct trans
laton, but they canmGt express themselves in
such vigorous old English as the King james YER
sion is wTitten-the English used by Shakespeare
and Bunyan. Among the instances which lie
cited in illustration of this loss of gor and force
Of expression was the substitution of the words
" for it well welded, for the words for His
house was founded upon rock" He thought
that the verdict of the people would be that the
sense of the original Greek and the manuscripts
was more faithfully adhered to in the revision but
the English was lacking in point. vIgor, or inciSe
ness wherever they had departed from the old YER
