AN OPEN SECRET.
Rich. Rare, and Racy "Gwyne-On
at the Reform District Committee.

About 12 o'clock last night, as TIMES
reporter was passing down Main street,
he was attracted by the loud noise issuing
from the headquarters of the District
Reform Committee near Fifteenth street.
The first thing heard was the remark
made by member, which was probably
the truest utterance he has made Tor
some time-that he was afraid George
u. Wise would be elected" He was
promptly called to order in the most APP
proved parliamentary style by the threat
from brother that he would break
the head of any member who said George
Wise would be elected"
The speaker then proceeded to the
following effect "We must swamp
Smithers's store; |, myself, am willing to
do anything at the pollsr'
Next came the old, old story, which is
ever new-"We want money"
Another brother replies: " Mr.. Chair
man, we must borrow 5000 from some
body"
This emergency was met by the former
speaker. who replied Mr. Chairman, |
can get the money from the Jefferson
Ward Tammany Club, If you are sure we
can pay it back again. They can obtain
it from - - "a well-knOwn local
politician, who will be struck for the
Doodle"
The question of finances being satisfac-
tOrilv disposed of, the next business was
the grievance of the member from Tuck
ahoe.
"Mr. Chairman, he says everybody who
has done work has been paid for it. |
don't ask for money; want to speak at
the meeting tomorrow night. ! got the
lot, paid for the lumber and nails, did all
the work, and now you don't want to let
me speak 1t amt fair"
His request was granted.

The Domestic Art reception, now in
progress at the salesroom Of the Domes
tic Sewing Machine Company, attracted
an admiring throng of ladies and
gentlemen yesterday afternoon and
evening, who expressed their appre-
citation and delight at the wonderful pro-
auctions of the light-running Domestic
sewing machine. The ladies were es-
pecially delighted with the beautiful dis
play of fancy articles.
The specimens, of work, numerous and
diverse one frOm.another, as they are, and
filled with silent though irresistible elO-
quence, only serve to lead one to specu-
late upon the Interior possibilities of this
remarkable piece of automatic handi-
craft, or to make surmises in regard to
what results may be attained by those
who become thorough and perfected ex-
perts in its management.

Damage on Reservoir Street.

As far as heard from no great damage
was done by the heavy rain last night.
1t continued without intermission nearly
all night, and was quite lively at O'Clock
A. M.
The TIMES reporters, in their rambles
Yesterday, found in various places, par
ticularly on the suburbs, noted washouts,
but not Of more serious nature than IS
usually reported after heavy rain in To-
calities lately "impToved" or dug up. At
the extreme end of North Fifth street the
washout was very bad. Probably the
most serious damage was done on Reser-
voir street, south of Chafiin street. Here
il seemed as if the bottom had dropped
out
Reservoir street has but lately been
levelled off and made passable after a long
summers siege Of sewer and Waterman
digging. After the job was completed
the residents of the street had the usual
connections made in many places.
Last night all of the holes made for
such connections and but lightly packed
with earth were washed out. In front
of nearly every house can be seen
trenches some three feet wide and two
deep extending across the street. In
addition to this too much earth was
taken from the body of the street, which
was graded and levelled off, and the gut
tiers, sidewalks, and the street generally
presented rather wrecked appearance.
That street will never be any better
until solid and substantial improvements
are made, and the sooner they are begun
the cheaper it will be.
The fine effects of the rain have to-day
been discernible on all hands and it was
the most welcome visit of the season.

A Fitting Tribute to the Confeder-
ate Dead.

The erection of the chapel at r. E. Lee
Camp Soldiers Home has been begun 1t
is located near and to the west of the
main entrance Mr. J. f. Wingfield has
the work in charge. Mr. j. j. Montague
has given a handsome window. 1t is
proposed to have a memorial window in
memory of the dead of "The Home
since its organization.
1t is proposed, also, to have memorial
window from every State whose destiny
was linked with the stOrm-cradled Con-
federacy. Let the daughters all over
the land we love, from the Potomac to
the Rio Grande, go to work, and let win
dows from each adorn the chapel dedi-
Gated to the service of the living God.
1t will not only be an unfading memorial,
but graceful and becoming act. 1t is
expected that the chapel will be covered
in by the middle of December, and it
will be pushed forward to a speedy com
pletion. Services will for the present
begin at the Home at 4 O'Clock L. NJ.
every Sunday.

Cluverius,s Second Petition.

The following is a copy of second
petition gotten up to be presented to the
Governor asking for executive clemency
for Cluverius:
To the Hon. FItzhugh Lee, GoOern0r Of
Virginia.
The undersigned respectfully ask
pardon for Thomas J. Cluverius, who has
been sentenced to death by the Hastings
Court of the city of Richmond for the
alleged killing of F. l.. Madison.
They make this request because they
believe the evidence on the trial was
wholly insufficient to justify his con
viction, and because his bameless life
repealed and dissipated whatever Of
suspicion was created against him, and
because they believe him innocent Of the
crime imputed to him.
The grounds upon which this petition
are based are about as shallow as are
those of the first, published yesterday.
