From Washington. News Notes.
Special TO the CARBON ADVOCATE.


WASHINGTON D. c., Feb. 9th. 1883
Mr.. EDITOR: Only a few short weeks
ago we wrote yon about the happy COM
pletion by Mr.. W. W. Corcoran of his
eighty-ninth year and of the numerous
presents received from his many friends.
To-day we have to record his death, after a
very brief illness. His life was full of
charitable works, and many institutions,
which owed their inception and success to
his generous, aid will keep before coming
generations the memory of Washington's
noble hearted philanthropist.
Mr.. Corcoran was born in this city in
170S, and here his whole life was spent.
He early entered the banking business and
soon became one of the most prosperous
financiers in the country. 1t is said that
he leaves an estate valued at about So, ,500,-
600 but more than that sum has been CIV
en- away. The Corcoran Art Gallery and
the Louise Home were wholly built and
endowed by him and one of his latest
charities was to cause the remains of John
Howard Payne, the author of "Home
Sweet Home" to be brought from Tunis
and placed In tomb in Oak Hill cemetry
and to erect there suitable monument in
his memory. Mr.. CoreoIan leaves no
children. His heirs will probably be his
three grand children who have lived with
him for many years.
Washington's birthday was very generally
obseryed All of the Government Denart-
ments and the various places of business
throughout the city were closed. The
Veteran Firemen's ASSOCIATION and military
companies paraded the principal streets in
the morning. The day was all that could
have been desired, and the principal streets
!, were crowded with people during the en-
tire day.
J Notwithstanding the Presidents absence

various cities in the contest waged oYel

Ryan had ordered bis men to haul to that
place the earth taken from the paved
streets, which had been placed there for
horses to stand upon in front of business
places, and such other good material as was
collected. This was good material for fill
ing the low places on the block referred to
and would have been all right, but the men
also hauled the refuse swept up by the
chain-gang, a good deal of which is unfit
to be dumped in any street. Yesterday
morning the Commissioner had the piles
raked over and the old boxes, paper, tin
cans and other rubbish carted OFF, leaving

Sidewalk Insnentnr.

There are numerous complaints from all
quarters that the Sidewalk Inspector does
not attend to his duty, and it is asserted by
many that he does not make any preten-
sion of doing so. One thing is certain. and
that is, that the sidewalks in many parts of
the city are in bad condition and that moth
ing has been done about il. The City Sur
yeyor receives S25 per month for attending
TO the Saties OF Sidewalk Inspector, and, if
he cGa hot do the work, it ought to be
placed in the hands of some one who will
Mayor Gregory was spoken to on the SUBJ
Ject yesterday morning, and said that there
had been so many complaints made to him
that he had notified the Inspector that if he
did not attend to the duties some one would
be appointed who would do So A citizen
present suggested that the proper thing to
do would be to make the Sanitary and
Building Inspector the Inspector of Side
walks, and add the $25 per month to his
salary, instead of to that of the City Sur
veyor, who evidently has too much else to
do. Mr.. Starr's duties are already ar
duous, and his salary very small in proper
ton to the work done, but he could attend
to the duties Of Sidewalk Inspector while
looking after the sanitary condition of the
city. The zeal and energy displayed by
him in the performance of the duties now
imposed upon him are sufficient guar
antee that he would attend to anything else
that may be confided TO him with equal f.
deity and promptness.

Verona Jarbeau and her company, who
has played g two weeks successful engage
ment in San Francisco, will appear this
evening ia the new musical comedy Star
light" 1t is represented as full of catch
ing musical bits, and as running over with
mlrth. The San Francisco Chronicle says
of Miss Jarbeau:
She carries the play by her talent, her chic
and her hard work. She is TO be credited with
most evident desire to please her audiences,
and she is an artist of a kind not easily found
in America. Her specialties in French are
given with vivacity and abandon which no
American who has tried them, and many have.
can touch. They are full of point and expres-
sion. The imitation of Theo looks as ifit were
good copy, and the Eastern press says it is.
But whether or not, it is clever and amusing
performance, and well worth seeing. And she
has made admirable selections of music for the
piece all through
