AProbabIe Murder.

| A difficulty arose between two c0lored
men Mt the Fair grounds yesterday after
noon, which will probably result fatally to
one of the parties.
Samuel Anderson and Henry Warren
were the names of the participants, and the
former was struck three times on the head
with heavy iron crow-bar each blow lay
ing the bones of the head bare and one
fracturing the skull.
The first news received of the affair was
notification at Police Headquarters that
the police ambulance and a mounted officer
were wanted at the fair grounds.
Officer Cole went from the Second Precinct
station to the grounds and found Warren
asleep ut his home on the fair grounds and
took him back to the station at 1915.
The police ambulance brought Anderson
in an insensible condition from a bench in
the stable on the fair grounds to Police
Headquarters, and subsequently took him
to Providence Hospital.
At IL o'clock this morning, telephone
message from the hospital stated that Ander.
son would not be able to appear at Police
Court, and probably would not live
At noon word was received that the
wounded man would probably die within a
few hours.
Samuel Anderson is tall, brown man,
weighing about 175 pounds and measuring
five feet nine inches. He wears a light
mustache and was stability dressed. At 8
o'clock this afternoon the victim was still
alive, but no better nor stronger, and there
is but little hope for his recovery.

Death of Capt. Patterson, of the
Coast Survey.

Capt. Carlisle Pollock Patterson died yes
terday afternoon at his residence, Brent
wood,' near this city, aged &c. He was the
son of the late Commodore ID. II. Patterson,
and was born in Louisiana in 1916. He was
appointed a midshipman in the navy in
1880, but in 1888 he graduated at George
town College, Kentucky, and the same year
was assigned to the coast survey, and after
serving three years again went to sea. He
re-entered the coast survey service in 1916,
and carried out some very important work
in the Gulf of Mexico. In 1s49 he accepted
the command of the Pacific steamship
Oregon, and in 1851 he was transferred to
the command of the Golden Gate of the
same line. He continued in this service
until 1853, when he resigned and devoted
himself to civil pursuits. In 1861, upon the
special recommendation of Professor A. d,
Bache, he was appoiated photographic in
spector of the coast survey, in which posi-
ton he rendered valuable service. In 1874
he was appointed superintendent of the
coast survey, to succeed Professor Benjamin
Pierce, which position he held at the time
of his death. He is brother of Admiral
Thomas Patterson, who recently commanded
the Asatic fleet

VIRGINIA POLITICIANS.
Visiting Representatives of the
VnriOuS Virginia Political Fac

A score of Virginia politicians have ar
rived in the city during the past twenty
four hours. The majority of them have
dropped into Washington, while en- route for
certain points in their State where they
have to attend campaign engagements.
The most prominent among them are VIM. Il.
Cameron, Readjuster nominee for governor;
Frank Blair, Readjuster nominee for attor-
ney-gencral ex-Congrcssman John Goode,
who aspired for the Democratic nomination
for governor; II. III. Riddleberger, candi-
date for sergeant-at-arms of the United
States Senate, and Congressman elect
Dezendorf, who figured SO conspicuousy at
the fizzle in Lynchburg, called the Straight
out Republican convention.
These gentlemen have been busy to-day.
Mr.. Riddleberger had conference Of several
hours with Postmaster-General James with
reference to certain postal appointments in
Virginia. He was also DESTROYS of the re-
n,oval of a railway mail service official in
the State who, Mt the convention of the
Straight-outs in Lynchburg, made violent
and abusive speech against Senator
Malone. Mr. Cameron and Mr.. Blair had
an interview with Secretary Window con-
corning the propriety of making certain in
ternal revenue changes in the State, but
they were cut off with the reminder that
nothing would be done with reference to
official changes until the President could
be consulted. Messrs. Goode and DezendOrf
said they were only here looking around, but
they had interviews with members of the
Cabinet just the same. Mr.. Goode says
Daniel, the Democratic nominee for gov
ernOr, will have walk-over, and refers as
q significant fact to the sudden movement
among prominent colored men in the State
to assist in the election of Daniel. On the
other hand, Messrs Cameron, Riddleberger
and Blair are equally enthusiastic,
and predict victory with over
10000 majority. Mr.. Blair who spoke Mt
Fairfax Courthouse, yesterday, against
Mckinney, the Democratic nominee for
encouragement, says the latter showed up
in bad shape, and thought that he created a
decidedly favorable impression. Mr.. Blair
is powerful logician and an eloquent
speaker. Mr.. Riddleberger maintains that
the Administration is with the Readjusters,
and will stand by them during the cam
paign.

The Gravest Approximations.

Affairs have assumed more serious as
pect than ever, and the gravest apprehen-
sions are now felt for the Presidents life.
Numerous correspondents have telegraphed
away that the President is on his death bed
and cannot live many hours longer. The
feeling at the White House is not
so bad as this, but is bad enough
Nothing definite can be told until the
evening bulletin. If in that paper it is
shown that the Presidents pulse has in
creased and his temperature reduced, there
will no longer be much doubt of n fatal
termination of the case. II, on the con-
trary, the temperature be increased, or even
should not get any lower, there would still
be ground for hope, even if the pulse should
go up. That is about the situation at
present
