The CaIIan Case Again.

Deprecating. as 4 do, In common with every
comTade OF John A. Rawlins Post, No. !, De-
partment OF the Potomac, g. A. r., the pub
liciiy given TO our private AFFAIRS, Will say,
In answer TO the challenge OF E. X. Winship,
in your yesterdays Issue, that his admins
tration drdS tainted with an extravaganza
which would have rung the death-knell of
any post on less firm established base than
JohnA. Rawlins. To say the least, L. X. Win
ship did, by an act of supererogatlon, assume
the responsibility for the present financial
embarrassment of Post l, when he sold the
United States bonds belonging to the post
without the authority OF the post. II Z. X.
Winship can, o-day, tell the public and the
comrades Of John A. Rawllns Post how an ofl-
Ger of the post, without any authority to
handle the funds OF the post, could close his
official career and be indebted to the post In
dollars and cents he has, IN my opinion, at
tanned TO the acme OF the science OF casuistry,
and his comrades would like to be enlightened.

SOUTH WASHINGTON.

The good ladies of South Washington have
been greatly annoyed in the last few days by a
ragged, superannuated.appea knight Of
the turnpike, who merchandises with foul
smelling liquid, which he claims to be greatly
detrimental to the health of plano moths. The
gentleman Is very persistent In his solic!ta-
of his oratorical powers but u liberal Invest
menti In his stock or an invitation to solace the
ambition of tho inner man, the latter compro-
mise being the most desirable. Yesterday
afternoon the fellow was engaged In canvass
ing the Maryl9nd-ayenue residences, and
several ladies, who were too busy to AFFORD
him an audience of suitable length, were de-
nounced in shockingly brutal and obscene
language. The tramp worked the houses IN
the vicinity for some time, and II was notice
able that he always went to those houses
where there were unprotected females, and
when he found that his presence was becom-
Ing generally noised about he quickly hied
himself to other scenes of operation. Several
characters OF this kind have lately passed
through South Washington, and our citizens,
especially on Maryland avenue, are much an
noyed by tile large number Of trampS South
ward bound.
There VIII be another meeting OF tho con-
gregati0n of Grace p. E. Church to- might at the
corner of Ninth and streets to devise means
for the support OF a new minister. The last
meeting was slimly attended on account of the
inclement weather, but 1t is to be hoped that
there Will bo good assembly of the congrega.
tlon tonight. Grace Church Is the only one OF
the Episcopal denomination in South wash
ipGton, and the members of that denomination
In this section OF the city are extremely anx-
ious TO procure new pastor.
Yesterday the steamer John Gibson arrived
in the Potomac opposite the city. She was on
her way from New York TO Georgetown, but
was unable 10 reach that city. She remained
at tie Inland x Seaboard Coasting Company g
wharf until the assistance of the tugs Comet
and Mary Lewis could be procured, when she
was with much difficulty taken TO Georgetown.
Captain Young, of the Gibson, reports that
navigation is pursued with great danger and
difficulty on account OF the vast quantity of
thick, floating ice.in the river. Almost the on
tire distance from Washington 10 the mouth
of the Potomac is covered over.
The schooners Annie Gibson, Mary G. and G.
W. Driver, loaded with oysters, which were
detained at QuantlcO, were towed to the city
yesterday by the tugs Comet and Mary Lewis.
Several other vessels destined for the city
were also unable 10 reach here without the
assistance of tugs.
There were estimated TO be 5000 bushels Of
oysters at the wharyes this morning, but the
regulation high prices still prevail, 1t being
impossible to procure the precious bivalyes
for less than rs cents per bushel for the
smallest sizes.

sonable price, and remember that new stoves

The details OF the terrible explosion by
which two little colored children, named Ed :

were playing In the kitchen OF their home, No.

a flask of gunpowder and began throwing
little pinches OF 1t into the flre, aud had been
playing in this way for some time, whom tue
boy who was holding the powder flask ven
tured too near the stove and the flask eX-
ploded setting both children on fire and mu.
tilating the hoy terribly about the face and

FALL INDICTED,
The Third Victim of the Misdeeds OF
the Department OF Justice.

The Grand Jury this morning brought In an
Indictment against Frank II. Fall, charging
that on the first of July, 1882, he did corruptly
prepare and write the following:
''This agreement entered Into this second
day OF July, A. D., 1882, between - of the
first part and W. X Brown of tho second part,
witnesseth that for and in consideration Of his
vote In the StarROute case, the party Of the
first part agree TO pay to the party of the Sec
ond part S2,5O0) twenty-five hundred dol
lars.
''silgned, -
"That on the above date MIR. Fall did unlaw-
fully and corruptly induce Arthur Payne to
exhibit this instrument to William X. Brown
and solicit him to sign 1t with intent to cor
ruptly influence the vote of Brown In the Star
Route case.
"That Payne did exhibit the paper to Brown
and urge him to sign it,"
The second count In the indictment sets
out that Mr.. Fall did procure Payne to
have n conversation with Brown and offer
him $4,000 in consideration of his vote and
to Induce him to sign the agreement. There
are two other counts In the Indictment, but
they only set out the charge of corruptly en-
deavoring to influence Juror Brown In other
ways.
The witnesses on the back of the indict-
ment are William Il. Brown (the Juror, A. O..
Richards, George o. Miller, John A. Moss,
James Leonard, Brewster Cameron and II. H..

THE MILWAUKEE, FIRE.
Arrest OF an Alleged Incendiary.

George Scheller, lessee of the barroom OF the
Newhall House, was arrested yesterday on
suspicion OF having set flre to the hotel. senel-
Ter says he closed the saloon at 80 a. m. on
the morning Of the ilre, but 1t has been found
He was arrested principally on the statement
of Linehan and another employe, who claim
that they saw Scheller In tho woodroom,
where Linehan says the flre originated,
morning. The district attorney refused TO
let any one see scheller, the excuse being that
he was afraid an attempt would be made to
lynch him. Scheller is about 33 years old and
married. Shelter is in custody OF tho police,
and the sheriff is prepared to defend him. An
extra guard Will be kept at the jail all night.
Scheher has been in financial straits of late.
An attempt made last Friday TO raise $500
on chattel mortgage from Charles sholes, Il
gambler, failed. The liquor dealer furnishing
the barroom holds a note for 300 against
scheller which he offers to sell fer ten cents.
