Almost a Riot.

MONTREAL, June S.-The Corpus Christi
procession yesterday was the largest ever
seen in this city, 10000 persons taking part
in it. Fifty societies marched in the pro-

diction at st. Patrick's and Notre Dame.
While the procession was passing along St.
Peters street the Salvation Army, which
was also parading, turned into the street to

them badly. Had it not been for the priests
and other persons in the Corpus Christi
procession restoring order a number of lives
must have been lost.

THE MONUMENT DAMAGED.-It was de.
veloped on Saturday that the capstone OF
the Washington monument had been struck
by lightning on Friday night during the
thunder storm. As yet the only examina.
ton made has been with telescope, and
this showed that the capstone had been
shattered at the northeast point of The base,
removing piece of the marble probably
fonr inches in height and thickness, in the
shape of pyramid. The last course of
stone, which is only seven inches in thick
ness, showed on the north side distinct
vertical crack beginning at the shattered
part of the eapstone and extending four feet
four inches, the width of that stone.
Through the telescope it was determined
that the fracture was less than en- inch in
width, widening very little toward the bot
tom, so that the riven part projected over
the next course on the east side half an inch
and on the north side three.fourths of an
inch. An examination made in the interior
OF the roof on Saturday showed that it was

PROTECTING DEPosIToRs.-A few day

PROTECTING DEPosIToRs.-A few days
ago the Bank Of Mitchell, OAK, closed its
doors, and the assignee is now ready to
report, but the depositors are figuring with
the president for settlement without the
routine Of the court. Huysson, cashier of
the White Lake branch, when ordered to
close his bank, refused and said he had no
funds belonging to the Mitchell Bank; but,
on the contrary, the Mitchell Bank owed
the White Lake branch $11 ,609 He further
said that the money belonging to his White
Lake depositors would not and should not
be swallowed up in the Mitchell Bank
failure. On Saturday Judge Willing, at
torney for the assignee, went to White Lake
to take possession, and was informed that
he could not enter the bank. He posted a
notice that the bank was closed, but Cashier
Huysson and Assistant Cashier Ryan were
present with their depositors, and tore Oft
the notice and proceeded to open the bank.
They posted guards at the entrances and
began paying of their depositors, where
upon Judge Willing leaped over the coun
ter and ordered halt. Ryan then inform
ed the crowd that trespasser was inside
the gate. No sooner were the words uttered
than the attorney was pitched over the
counter and out into the street. MIR. Hugs
son continued to settle with the depostors
until the last one was paid in full. He then
locked the bank, and is carrying the key in
his pocket.

Burning of the Williamsburg Lunatic Asylum
One Patient Burned to Death and Another
Drowned

Burning of the Williamsburg Lunatic Asylum
One Patient Burned to Death and Another
Drowned.
WILLIAMSBURG, Va, June Sat twelve
o'clock last night fire broke out in the
right wing of the centre building of the
Eastern LuDatic Asylum here and before it
could be got under control everything WAS
destroyed The buildings burned comprise
the original ones of the Institution erected
over one hundred years ago. There were
two hundred female patients in the burned
buildings, bu. all of them were rescued, ex-
cept one, Miss Smith, of Pittsy lvan!a coun
ty. who was burned to death. Another
patient, Mrs. Jeffries, after being brought
out of the building, wand away and was
found this morning drowned in creek near
by. All the female patients were taken to
William and Mary College, where they
were temporarily cared for. The other
wards contained nearly 800 male patients.
These wards we're quickly emptied and the
unfortunates were turned loose, but did not
wander of, being generally tractable. When
| il was found that the fire was getting be-
yond control aid was telegraphed for from
| Richmond, and steamer reached here from
that city at about 3 o'clock this morning, but
the fire had then done its worst The Rich
mond firemen, however, went to work and
did good service. None of the male wards
were burned, they being located in build
ings partially disconnected from those de-
stroyed, and strong wind blowing from
them. The total loss is estimated at from
$12O,0 to $140,000 insurance about S4O,-
900. The fire is believed to have res....,,ted
from some trouble with th.s electric light
wires, as it Was first discovered where the
wires entered the right wing of the building.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Especial Correspondents Of the Alexandria Gazette.
WASHINGTON. D. c., June s. 1885.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. June s, 1885.
A gentleman from Fairfax Court House,
Virginia, in the city to-day, says the recent
change in the postofice there is acceptable
to almost every body served by that Office.
Mr.. Farr, General Mahone's Superintendent
of Public Instruction of Virginia, was
formerly of Fairfax county. The gentle
man referred to says he met him in Rich
mond last week, aud was rather surprised to
hear him say that the change alluded to
and all similar ones were proper, as it could
not be expected that an administration
could get along with its Offices filled with
men opposed TO its principles and policy,
citing his own case as an example, and ask
ing how he could manage his own office if
the execution of his orders were entrusted
10 men opposed to him and in whom he
could have no confidence?
The following changes in the 4th GLASS
postofices in Virginia were made to-day
John F. Long, appointed postmaster at
Mitchell's Station, Culpeper county, vice Z.
Z. Taylor, resigned, and w. F. Hopkins, at
Wakefield Station, Sussex county, vice W.
Y. Martin, removed.
Messrs Wise and Trigg arrived here this
morning, so that all the democratic mem
bers of the Virginia Congressional delega
tion except Mr.. Croxton are IN the city TO.
day. They are here TO look after the dis.
tributiou of the federal patronage in their
respective districts, of which none of them
has as yet got enough to make him proud.
There are eleven persons holding Office in
the Interior Department purporting to be
from the Richmond Congressional district,
some of them dating hack az far as 1871.
Five of them are colored, whose salaries
range from $500 to $1,000. Amongst the
whites is Oscar Newman, in the division of

THE LATEST proposed strike is novel
one. It is that of the republican postal
clerks. who threaten resort TO that expe-
dent as means to deter the adminlstra'
ton from removing them from the positions
they have prostituted to partisan purposes.
Many strikes, though unwise, are pro-
tests against injustice. But the threat OF
such one az that referred to is an exhibl.
ton of ridiculous insolence that should be
met at once by the immediate removal OF
