AN AsroHrsHEp COMMITTEE.
who Thiak They Have Found n Coed
Field for ChristIan Labor.

A delegation of ladies representing the
WOman's Christian Union Temperance Society, six
in number visited the aims house yesterday for the
purpose of ministering 10 the wants of the inmates
of that institution. giving word Of encourage
ment here and there where they thought there was
need for it, or where It promised 20 bring forth good
fruit They first visited the woman's department.
As they entered the large rooms they found the
women huddled together in punches shivering in
some instances with the cold. Asking the reason,
one of the women inmates said they had not been
comfortably warm for two weeks, and during that
time there had been no fires in the building.
" Even during the winter" the woman said, 1.-THE
heat from the flues was insufficient, and often
times we were cold but for the past two weeks we
have had no fires all There has been considerable
suffering as a result" The inmates gave evidence
of this in many ways, saying that, though they
made frequent complaints, no attention had been
paid to them and they had been forced to shiyer,
grin, and bear it." This was too much for the
ladies, one of whom, more outspoken than the rest
said: 81 think that the most Christian work we
can do is to see that these people are kept COM
Portable and /, for one, intend that the District
Commissioners shall be informed of this state
of things" They finally decided to call .on the
District Commissioners to-day, and lay the matter
before them, as also of other complaints that have
been made in regard to the management of the in
stitution in other particulars. Speaking to RE-
PUBLICAN reporter last night, one of the ladies who
is on the committee that made the visit said :
"There is no good reason why the inmates should
be required to shiver with the cold we saw them
with our own eyes, and think the more agitation
this matter gets the better it will be for ALL Ihave
heard great deal, but nothing was so impressed
upon me as what saw. There is a great room for
improvement, in the way of the treatment of the
inmates of the aims house. and hope we will be
able to do something toward it,

Last evening some of the gentlemen
who were associated with Mr.. John w. Thompson
on the executive inaugural committee waited ON
that gentleman at his residence and presented
him with handsome silver pitcher and goblets
as an evidence of their appreciation OF the seq
vices he rendered on that occasion. The pitcher
is q very elegant one in design, and the ornament
alton is in the old English style, now so much ad
mired On one side Of the pitcher is the following
inscription.

charged his duties the chairman of the executive
committee appointed by the citizens of Washington
to have charge of the ceremonies attending the IN
auguration of the President of the United States on
March T. 1881.
On the opposite side are inscribed the names Of

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS.

There is to be grand hop at McBur-
ney Hall on the evening of the 25d. This being
the first hop of the season. it is expected to be a
most enjoyable affair.
The Martha Washington Tea PARTY -
at the Alexandria Reform Club, was largely at
tended last night a handsome sum being realized
for the benefit of the Reform Club.
More fish arrived at Fishtown yester-
day than at any day previous to the opening of
the season, which necessarily brought the price
down TO the following rates: Shad, $40 per 100
herring, s6.25 to IS per 1000.
Daniel Brown, an old and respected
colored man. was drowned in Prince street dock
Tuesday night at ten o'clock. As 1t was known
that he was fishing it is suppG-ed that he fell
asleep and nodded himself overheard.
Alexandria's citizens should feel deeply
indebted to Mayor CORTLAND II. Smith, who has
visited and will leave again in few days for the
North for the purpose of interesting Northern CANT
taists in establishing manufactures of every kind
at this point. If the ancient city had few more
such men as Mayor Smith she might in a short
while be able to regain her name as manufactur-
ing town,
The Third Ward colored Readiusters
met in the rooms of the Alexandria Readjuster
executive committee last night. An address was
made by Thomas Allen, the chairman in which
he said that it was the duty OF every member of
that club TO earnestly support the Readjuster party
and 10 try and convince those few who would not
join with them from fear of injuring the Republi-
can party that they were helping it rather than
doing it an injury.

PROSPECTIVE COLLECTOR.
Who will Collect Customs in Geergetow
when the Deadlock Breaks.

The nomination of Mr.. J. Henry Will
Georgetown, meets with general approval in that
ancient nee Washington, it being regarded in all
respects most satisfactory appointment. The
unusual merit of the Office seeking the man, and
not the the Office is a feature of the nomina-
ton, Mr.. Wilson not having been an applicant,
and knowing nothing whatever about the seec-
ton until officially notified that his name had
been sent to the Senate for confirmation. Mr.
Wilson is a native of the District, having been
born, in 1897, in Georgetown, on Bridge
street, between Congress and High, and is conse-
quently in his fifty fourth year. He has been en-
gagged in the merchant tailor business on the same
square for over thirty years. Beginning life with
no capitsl but sf:l, energy brains, and integrity,
he has won On enviable character as an enter
prislng reliable business man. and has accumu-
lated quite handsome competence. He has been
prominent and active member of the Dunbarton
Street Methodist Episcopal Church since his boy
hood, and has been the leader of its choir
since he was eighteen years old. Mr.. Wilson
never held political Office and never was an ap-
plicant for one. In the present case his name
was suggested to President Garfield as a suit
able man for the place, and the nomina-
ton was sent to the Senate before he
was aware Of it. In politics he has been an I'M
compromising Republican since the establishment
of the party, being previous to which event an

SUING A RAILROAD.
The Dangers of Letting a street-Car Slide
Down Hill.

Florence L. Clark, by her next friend,
John B. Clark, and through her counsel, Messrs.
Riddle, Miller, and Padgett, yesterday filed suit
on the law side of the court against the Washing
ton and Georgetown Railroad Company claiming
$4,000 damages The plaintiffstates that on March
5, 1881 she was passenger in car from the Navy
Yard going westward and when the car arrived at
Capitol Hill the driver detached his horses from
the car and with them walked down the hill, leav-
ing the conductor inside collecting the fares. No
person was left in charge of the brakes. and the
car, in going down the hill, soon acquired great
velocity When it reached the short curve at the
foot of the hill it gave sudden urch to one side,
partially upsetting the car. This motion had the
effect of throwing Miss Clark from her seat on the
right hand side of the car with violence to the op-
posite side. The car as suddenly righted. and she
was as rapidly thrown back to the seat, striking
her loin with so great force to render her in
sensible and infic;ing lasting injury to her per-
son She was subjected to considerable expense
and loss of time from her position in the Govern
ment employ, and she believes herself to be enti-
lied 10 the amount of damages claimed.

A Surprised Skaffsf.

There was a very interesting event at
the Skating Rink last night. At the conclusion of
the exercises of the Wednesday and Friday cir
cling class Mr. W. H Mills skated out from the line
and approached the manager of the rink, Mr..
George Kelly, and, in few felicitous remarks,
presented him, on behalf of the class, with an ee
CANT silver smokers cabinet bearing an appro-
pirate inscription, and to Mr.. Reuben Kelly a
handsome meerschaum pipe. Both these gentle
men appeared to be completely overwhelmed at
the appreciation of their efforts manifested by the
class and it was only by strong effort that Mr.
George Kelly rallied sufficiently to return thanks
for himself and his cousin.
