ESTABLISHED AUGUST 1868.

Mrs. Eta Carpenter Petteys, wife of As
sistant Surgeon G. V. Petteys, U. s. A., died
at San Diego, CAL, OH the 18th instant.
Mrs. 2. was the youngest daughter of Mrs.
NJ. H. Carpenter, of this city, and sister of
the late s. M. Carpenter, the journalist, and
also sister of Mrs. IL. A. Hall. The re-
mains will be brought to this city. and bo
in charge of Mrs. Hall, 1549 Columbia
street. The deceased leaves an infant son,
now four weeks old OF the services at
San Diego the Herald of that place gives
the following account
"The funeral services of the late Mrs. DR..
Petteys, wife of Acting Assistant Surgeon
C. " Petteys, U. S. A., were solemuized
yesterday morning at the residence of Mrs.
c. L. Wbipple, the Rev. II. B. Restarick,
rector of Holy Trinity Church, officiating.
We were painfully aware, when called
upon to chronicle this lady's death, that
the announcement would bring distress to
many in this city, as we'll as elsewhere;
but we were not prepared for the general
outburst of sympathy and sorrow that yes
terday found vent in offerings of flowers
and grief.stricken attendance at the last
sad rites. The floral decoration of the
parlors, where the services were held,
was unusually profuse and very
wherein the body reposed was almost
hidden by the quantities of delicate en-
blems wrought in rare flowers, all of them
of exceeding beauty, many of them
the handiwork of afiectionate friends. The
solemn Episcopal ritual for the dead was
chanted.
THE entire service was beautifully rem.
dered, and there were few in the large
congregation who were not visibly affected
as it pathetically closed with the singing of
s'Abide with me; fast falls the eventlde
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me
abide"
''Those present were then given an oppor-
tunity of looking for the last time on the
young wife and mother who had so en-
deared herself to all who knew her; resting
in natural posture, favorite flower in
her hand, and with exquisite drapery, the
work of loving fingers, shrouding her form
few will forget the picture. 1t being the
intention to convey the remains East, the
ceremonies were concluded at the residence,
the body being followed TO its temporary
resting place by the bereaved husband

An Italian ,Io,her.in.Lnw.

Joseph Maranelli, young Italian, was
charged in the Police Court to-day with
assaultiug his motherin'law, Eta Buz-
zaro. The old lady testified that her son-in-
law was beating his wife, and she objected
wheTeupon he turned on her and beat her
and pulled handful of her hair out, aud
then elected her from the house. The
woman produced handful of combings,
which she alleged had been pulled out of her
head
The other testimony was very different,
aud showed that the festive Mrs. BuZzaro
undertook to raise Hades in her daughters
household, and was ordered out several
times, and finally was gently elected.
Judge Smell decided that technical
assault had been committed, and imposed a
nominal fine of 50. The old lady protested
against the fine being so small, and finally
exclaimed Justify: "All right, Jedge, ifyou
only fine him So, I'll take the rest out OF
him with broomstick."

"Fourfeeu DAYS..

The title of Charles Wyndham's play,
Fourteen Days. is derived from the usual
term of imprisonment in England for minor
oiienses, the sentence being fourteen shil-
lings or fourteen days. 1t bristles with
lively action and sparkling dialogue, and
the company which he has brought from
his own London Criterion Theatre are said
TO be the best organized that ever visited
this country. They act together like clock
work and in supporting Mr.. Peregrine Porter,
the role of Mr.. Wyndham, create a contin.
uous roar of laughter. The New York
Times says of the New York engagement
in Union Square: "Such pronounced sue
cess, the theatre being packed nightly, has
not been achieved in years." while Willie
Winter, in the New York Tribune, writes;
'"rhe performance was invariably delightful
and is as welcome as the west wind of a
morning in June, when the brooks sparkle
and the roses are shining in the sun. There
is not dull person in the cast" The com
pany will appear at Ford's Opera House
next Monday, and the sale ofseats begin on
Thursday.

But it was noticeable that certain household
articles were hard to find after his exit
Brown was on one of his journeys yesterday
afternoon again, The rag market being
dull he absconded with several pieces of

He was shortly aflerward taken to the First

Minnehaha Lodge Of Good Templars.

Minnehalia lodge Of Good Templars.
This lodge, so deservedly popular and
uniformly well attended, held its regular
meeting on last evening, and the assem-
blage of members in attendance was even
larger than usual. That the temperance
sentiment is growing in this District will
not be wondered at after having seen this
lodge, and the class of our citizens and their
ladies that mako up this association. This
lodge is powerful agency for good, and
the community is to be congratulated upon
possessing so efficient an organization. The
ten subordinate lodges in the District are
all doing the grandest kind Of work, and
each meeting of these is brimful of interest
and enthusiasm in the temperance work,
which is progressing so rapidly at
this time. Minnehaha Lodge has
the prestige of seniority, however, being the
Oldest lodge in the District, and may on
that account be said to have greater ex-
perience. The ceremonies of initiation,
through which several candidates were
conducted last evening, were followed by
an enjoyable reception, in which a grand
feature of the order is shown. During the
business session which followed matters of
exceeding interest to the cause and order
were discussed and disposed of in a busi
pess-like manner. The entertainment,
which concluded the session, was enjoyed
i'll the highest degree by all present,
and consisted of vocal duet by
Mrs. and Miss Seymour, an original
poem of great merit by Mr. Cheeks
vocal duet by Mr.. and Mrs. Kalstrom, in
teresting remarks by Colonel Wood, con-
tIalto solo by Miss Seymour, selected
readings by Mrs Lewis, q humorous song
by Mr.. Lanman, lodge deputy of Star of
Hope Lodge and instructive remarks by
Hon. j. Tyler. Between the numbers on
the programme were presented several
tableaux, which were well mounted and
equally received. An invitation extended
by the CIV. G. T., TO attend the services
at Wesley Chapel on next Sunday morning,
when the Rev. j. W. McKenney will deliver
n sermon at the request of the Grand Lodge,
was Enthusiastically accepted.
