Edward Hyson, the well.known boiler maker,
came near losing his life by drowning yester-
day. He is engaged In the repairs being made
to the machinery OF tho Jane Mosely, and
while walking on plank from the wharf to
the boat he fell into the Potomac. His strug-
giles in the deep water attracted two colored
men, who hurried to his assistance, and after
much difficulty landed him on the wharf. He
was nearly exhausted, and was carried to
John Clark's saloon, corner OF Seventh and L
streets, and attended to.
The oyster season Is nearly over and but
few are being brought to the wharves, and
there is but slight demand for them /; 90 cents
per bushel is tho average price for which they
are sold.
In the last few days the quantity OF nsh
caught at points along the lower Potomac has
greatly decreased; but the quantity arriving
at the wharves Is fully up TO the average, for
o great many more than usual are being
caught on the upper Potomac.

Good Manners In church.

The people who go TO church are supposed to
go there TO worship God. Unfortunately all
do not go for this purpose. Some men SO for

But no matter what they go for they all for
get the solemn service for an instant and turn
their heads 10 look at n late conner. No sooner
does the church door open after the service
has begun than there is an annoying rustic of
silks and satins and turning OF heads toward
the rear OF the sanctuary. Everybody, from

thing, instantly becomes deaf to the minister's
words In an enort 10 got glimpse OF the per-
son who has Just entered the door.
The woman who has Just donned new dress
or spring bonnet feels gratifed at this ex'
hibition OF curiosity, as she sails proudly up
the middle aisle TO prominent seat ana she
would feel that herwell concocted scheme of
entering late had failed II she had not at
tracied so much attention.
There are many other unlntentlonal late
comers who feel painfully embarrassed under
such circumstances. The poorly dressed

prayers for daily bread and to ask for small
share of loving Gods tender mercy, trombles
and threadbare gown, aud shrinks timldly into

Will compel everybody 10 devote heart and
soul to the service, for such thing can mover

pose OF showing of their flne clothes. Good

"Teach mo to feel another's woe,"
How oft we've heard II sung,
When 'twero better had the singer asked
For safe- guard on the tongue.
Slanderous gossip has often caused
More than half tho Voc we feel;
IT'S mockery, then, such prayer 10 make,
For 1t lacks sincerity's seal.
"To hide the faults see,'
Continues this prayer in song,
Yet oft we'd rather uncover than hide
The facts OF our brothers wrong,
Forgetting that he, IN his weakness,
Hath temptations to us unknown.
Ills well another's faults to hide
TILL we have none OF our own.
"That mercy TO others show
That mercy show 10 me-"
Invites the wrath of God upon
The maker of the plea;
When mercy they have never shown,
Nor llghtened brothers cares.
Gods mercy's shown by holding back
The answer TO such prayers.

They have de- termined to give an entertainment at one of the opera houses, the proceeds to be applied to the expenses of the day. This will do away with the very unsatisfactory manner of col lecting by the committees. They will invite the city companies, c. c. I. and the fire and police departments to parade with the posts.

Murdered by His Frfend-An Inoffensive
 Citizen Shot Without Warning or
 Cause.
 FORTRESS MONROE, April "A brutal mur- der occurred about Il o'clock Saturday night in the barroom of Barnes Hotel at Hamp- ton, Va It appears that Thomas Phillips, Q quiet, inoffensive citizen, was passing the ho- tel on his way home, when he was met by an old acquaintance named P. Joyce, who in vited him to take drink. Phillips refused to drink, but accepted a cigar, and while standing at the counter of the bar Joyce, without any provocation whatever, deliber- ately shot him through the heart. After shooting him Joyce placed the pistol in Phil lips pocket and fled. He was arrested later and lodged in jail. Joyce is employed as 8 clerk at the National Soldiers Home. Phil lips leaves wife and four children Some fears were entertained yesterday morning that Joyce would be taken from jail and lynched. An extra guard was placed on duty at the jail last night.

A Race Acroas the Ocean

A Race Across the Ocean.
 BOSTON, April 2-On March e2d last the steamer Istrian of the Leylard line started from Europe for Boston. Just an hour af- ter she left the dock the Kansas of the Warren line steamed out of the samel harbor bound for the same destination. The two ships pursued courses so nearly identical that during the whole passage they never lost sight of each other The weather was magnificent throughout the voyage, slight fall of snow at one time being the only blem- isb. Early in the trip the Kansas overlook and passed her rival. Then shortly after the positions were reversed and so on, one ship forging ahead to-day the other taking the lead tomorrow. Final ly after traversing three thousand miles the race ended by the Istrian reaching her dock at l o'clock in Charlestown today and the Kansas following suit at o'clock in East Boston. Both officers and crews of the two steamers were intensely interested in the race which was genuine one, and similar case has probably never occurred.

Iy contested event of the kind in this city. There were three tickets, Democratic, Re-

 made no selection for the mayoralty and the
 remainder was made up for the other two
 tickets Besides the three tickets there was

 not be finished in some wards till o'clock tomorrow morning. The count is finished in twenty-eight out of fifty y-nine places and definite reports from thirteen oth- CTS indicate the result pretty clearly Stephens (Dem. is believed to be elected Mayor by about 800 majority. For judge, Warrington, Rep, and Harmon, Dem, both endorsed by municipal reform, are elected. Eshellby, Republican and munich pal reform, for city comptroller is undoubt- edly elected by from 300 to 700 majority, and his friends are claiming more. The re- mainder of the Democratic ticket appears to be elected. All the Republicans elected are those endorsed by municipal reform. The Germans did not vote the Democratic ticket with anything like the solidity of last fall, but large proportion remain with the Dem ocratic party. The municipal reform ticket, though not as strong as expected, seems to turn the scale in several cases

The Active NIhIlists-PreparAng to Make
 Things Lively at the Czar's Corona
 tion.
 VIENNA April 2.-Private dispatches from St. Petersburg give details showing the gen eral alarm in Russia over the activity of the Nihilists with regard to the coming corona ton of the Czar. The Governor of Moscow is receiving anonymous letters daily which, there is no doubt, eHanate from the leaders of the Nihilist party. The writers declare that since, according to the announcement of the official organ of the government, the Czar has resolved neither to grant his sub iects constitution nor to issue general amnesty to political prisoners and exiles on the occasion of the approaching coronation, it has been resolved by the central council that every thing possible shall be done to pre- vent the coronation being performed, and that if necessary even the Kremlin itself with all the guests attending the ceremony shall be blown up. In consequence of these and similar threats addressed to the Governor of different cities and provinces, the activity of the secret police has been redoubled and dozens of ar ACSto fsAO AAaAC 0aAAy3 OA StAS-- va N-S vaguest suspicion.
