Washington's Violin.

There is a violin on exhibition at
81 Union square, New York, which
was once the property of Geo. Wash
ington. Mr.. George : Gemunder
bought it week ago of Mr.. Thomas
b. Washington, of Charlestown, w.
Va, who received it through Judge
Bushrod Washington. nephew of
the General. The story is told that
General Washington was on visit
to friends in lower Virginia, and was
passinga negro cabin, from which
issued the sweet strains of violin.
The music so enchanted the General
that he paused and entered the
cabin. The darkey violinist readily
gave another performance, and Wash
ington bought the instrument on the
spot. Although not an adept, Wash
ington is said to have whiled away
time n. Mount Vernon with this Yio-
lin. The instrument is the make of
n pupil of Jacobus Steiner, and is
nearly 200 years old. The fittings,
of course, are new. hut the old case
is intact.-Ne1U York Sun. ..-...

Tho body OF Miss Eva Mitchell,
wh0,o tragic death occurred in Chica-
so, arrived In Iowa, accompanied by
, h'r half brother, Oliver Mitchell and
wife, ind was inferred by tho side of
her mother, in n private cemetery in
jackson township, ten miles northeast
OF Washington. Eva Mitchell was born
/ eight miles northeast of Washington,
Iowa, about 1863. Her father, Leon
i5as Mitchell, was II prosperous and
| respected farmer in that county for u
number OF years, until five years ago,
when he sold out and went to Oregon.
Her mother died some ten years since,
and the sisters composed the family
after her mothers death. Whilo ut
tending school she made her home In
the neighborhood where she had lived,
! and part of tho time with her grand
mother in Washington. As she grew
up to womanhood she became favor
ito in her circle Of acquaintances, and
YEAS bright girl OF amiable DISPOSE
ton, bearing good moral character
and considered u respectable young
lady. Since her removal to Chicago,
some two years ago, little has been
known OF her whereabouts until tho
shock of the news of her unfortunate
aud mysterious death.
William Curtin, friend Of Flagman
Masterson, has been arrested In con-
nection with the Eva Mitchell murder.
He had been talking about the relations
that existed between the girl and Mas
tcrson, but when arrested denied any
knowledge OF the affair or OF the sr,s-
pccted mans whereabouts. The police
say they have been unable to find II
definite clue, but that circumstantial
evidence Is strong against Mastcrson.
