REV. DIR. DINwIDDIE.-Rev.D DR.. William
Dinwiddie, of this city, has been holding
services in the First Presbyterian Church
in Staunton every day since the close OF the
week Of prayer. A letter in the Richmond
Dispatch says: :.
1.-THE interest which has attended his
preaching has increased at every meeting,
until now.it has extended to every class of
the community, and the large church is
crowded every night with the most deeply
attentive audiences. The day services are

The inquiry meetings also call out a num-

q sermon from DR.. Dinwiddie containing
one of the most stirring appeals ever lls-
tened to, wheM the preacher called upon
those who desired to confess Christ TO rise

Young people, business men and youths,

dies preaching is a powerful but plain pre-
sentation of the Gospel truth-so convinr-
ing that scarcely any one can fail to be al
tracted or convinced. His style Of preaching
is very much like that of Mr. Moody to whom
he frequently refers and from whom he
draws striking illustrations. II is the gem

LOCAL BREVITIES.

Ice three inches thick was cut from the
canal to day.
1t is reported that n colored man was
frozen TO death near Arlington in this coun-
ty last night.
The ice on the canal and creek affords
fine skating, which is being enjoyed by
many of the ladies and gentlemen of this
city.
People who dislike to have their windows
frosted in cold weather can prevent it by
rubbing the glass inside and outside with
glyceriHo.
In the Corporation Court this evening,
Judge Meade ovcrruled the motion to set
aside his order appointing Mary Robb adj
ministratrix Of Jerry Robb.
The schooner Ellen Pierce ran into the
Arsenal wharf yesterday, on her way up
the river through tho ice, and carried away
her bowsprit and jib boom.
The police report last night as being clear
and cold with six dodgers, but no prisoners
at the station house. The Mayor this morn

CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL.-The
Board OF Directors of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal met in Frederick City, Nd,
Yesterday. The toll question was very gen,
orally discussed, but owing to the deferred
action of the Baltimore and Ohio and Ienn-
sylvania Railroad Companies in reference TO
the matter of freights nothing definite was
DONE 1t is authoritatively stated, however,
that the tolls will be fixed ut an early day,
and the action OF the board will then he

will be reduced few cents. All the mate
rails for repairs on the canal have been pu;-
chased, and Notwithstanding the heavy. eX,
penditures Oh the line during tho month OF
december last the pay roll already shows,
in comparison with that of December, 1883,
a reduction of more than four thousand
dollars 1t is also claimed that the month
of January will also show decided de-
crease. Work along the entire line of the
canal is now being vigorously pushed, and
it is said that it will be put in first, class or

THE RIVER was again frozen over last
night, and the ice now is of considerable
thickness, except in the channel, where the
steamers have broken and keep open a
track. The steamers Leary and Lake ar
rived here this morning from Norfolk only
an hour or SO behind time, but report that
they had some difficulty in opening pas
sage, pa, ticularly between Forts Washing
ton and Foote, where gorge usually forms.
The Washington ferry steamers have been
running all day, and the transfer barge has
also made its regular trips. The ice, it is
reported, extends some distance down the
river, but it is thought that it is too late in
the season for an entire close of navigation.
The sloop American Eagle, which arrived
here in tow yesterday evening, was cut
through by the ice short distance below
this city, and had to put part of her cargo
of oysters on the tug Rock Point. She
went on to Washington in tow of the Com
ct. The ice has interfered with the build
ing of the bridge across Hunting Creek, and
has put stop to the work of dredging the
Potomac flats near Washington. This
morning at o'clock the thermometer reg
istered 1Oo above zero, but the mercury has
SINCE risen. and the weather bureau predicts
milder temperature, with snow.

ACTION OF THE BOARD OF STEAMBOAT
INSPECTORS The board of supervising in
spectors Of steam vessels began their annual
session in Washington yesterday. After
the transaction of some routine business tho
board discussed the bill before Congress
providing for the repeal of section 4419, re-
vised statutes; concerning the use Of steam
registers on boilers, and decided las it had
done last year, adversely to the measure,
because it was believed that the effect of
the repeal of the statute would be to COM
pei the use of certain steam registering
guages on every steamboat. A proposition
is pending before the board to amend the
rule prohibiting passengers from entering
pilot houses of steamers while under way so
that the rule shall apply only during the
hours between sunset and sunrise. A test
was made in the presence of the board Of the
value of hand grenades as a means of extn'
gushing fire on board steamboats,.

A BIG HAUL.

Tho Assistant Treasurer at New Orleans
Nictlmllcd to the Ettcnt ~ About $780,
600 by u Trusted Subordinate, who
Makes Tracks for Mexico.
NEW ORLEANS, Ia, June 8.--The em-
bezllcmcnt Of suh-Trcasury funds by
Redemption Clerk John AuIdemorte,
was not known in this city TIL yesterday,
and caused great excitement In official
circles. II Is not known yet what Is the
extent OF his shortage, but Il Ia now be-
lIeved that II will not exceed $4,000. A
deficit OF $4,000 had been discovered
yesterday morning. II will require
count Of tho entire cash In
the vaults, and II is believed
that Auidemortc's peculatlons arc not
confined to the redemption department
alone, but that he has nlehcd large sums
from the vaults. Color Is given TO this
theory by the discovery OF forged certif.
icatcs OF deposit In his desk, which he
had evidently Intended TO use when the
shortage was discovered. The statement
from Washington that other employees
are probably connected with the steal ls
not believed here. The investigation
has shown nothing 30 far to
support such theory, aud Assistant
Treasurer lIcrwlg Is confident that Auf.
demorte Is the only dcfaultcr. The lat.
ter's disappearance was well.tlmod, and
little hope IS entertained OF his capture.
Tho investigation began Decoration Day,
which was a hali.hollday, and followed by
Sunday. Auidemorto assisted IN tho
count and when tho Office was closed at
noon started home. IL Ia believed he
proceeded Immediately TO the Texas
Pacific depot aud took train for
Laredo, In which case he Ia now
well on his way TO tho City oI MEXICO,
or Is lelsuroly awaiting developments
Just across the border 10 gain further
time. He wrote note TO IIerwlg, which
was delivered Monday, stating he was
unwoll aud had started for Biloxi. The
shortage was not discovered I'LL Mon.
day afternoon, when II was too late 10
oyertake the fugitive. Hcrwlg be-
lleves Auidemortc stole large SUN Of
money saturday while the investigation
was proceeding. Ilcrwlg Is quite wealthy,
and Will probably protect his bOndsmen.

done the bloody deed, but presently the
husband was found bleeding, but con.
seious. lIo confessed that he had done
the bloody work. lie said he aud his
wife had quarrel about the pigs at din
neri that she was very abusiyei that he

out of The door she fell down and st rnck
her head against stone almost killing

she seized his hand aud drew tho
razor across her own throat. She ther
told him TO XIII himself, aud he tried to
