st. Marks Reunion.

What on all sides was pronounced the
most enjoyable of all the reunions of the
congregation of st. Marks church took
place last night in the lecture-room of
that church. Some time ago a promi-
nent member Of another church said
that what ST. Marks undertook it did in
the right way, and always succeeded.
This YVES the case last night.
The lecture room had been handsome
" decorated with foliage, flowers, and
potted plants. At the chancel there were
curtains falling in folds. between which
was a portrait of the rector, DR.. Dashiell.
The former custom of using long tables
was discarded and this time small ones
were scattered all over the room, benuti-
fed with ornamental covers and vases of
flowers.
Supper began at 8 o'clock and lasted
until II. 1t embraced all the dishes
peculiar to this season OF tho year, and
though the entire congregation and in
vited guests were amply refreshed, as
much again was left over, which will
to-day be sent to the poor of the congre-
cation. The supper was served by a
CORDS of pretty girls. There was an un-
usual amount of sociability among the
congregation, and the evening to all was
most pleasant

Narrow Escape from Drowning.

Between II and l o'clock yesterday a
white girl about twelve years old, when
crossing the canal at Sixth street, fell IN.
and would doubtless have been drowned
but for the prompt interference Of Mr..
John McMann, one of the stone-cutters
employed on the custom-house work be-
ing done at the sheds near that spot, who
Jumped into the stream and saved her
from her peril.
He, with his associates, was sitting
down eating his lunch when he saw her
fall. He at once dropped his lunch and
plunged into the water. She caught him
about the neck. and had he not sue
ceeded in loosing her hold the two
might have been drowned. A gentle
man on the north side of the canal also
plunged in to rescue the little miss, but
Mr.. McMann was ahead of him and
brought her safely to shore. Her home
was in the immediate neighborhood.
This place, which is used as a foot
bridge, is a very dangerous one and
should either be repaired or taken up
altogether. Duringthe past few months
three or four other persons have fallen
in there and narrowly escaped drowning.

Der and then another, may be new there,
but is not so here. Such motions were
employed here by the Democrats oil the
House at the extra session in 1882, when
our people were fighting against Ma
hone bill to redistrict the State for circuit
judges-a measure intended to legislate
out OF Office all the Democratic circuit
judges. The Journal of that session
shows numerous filibustering motions,
including several to excuse members
from voting. The Democrats several
times moved TO excuse Republicans, and
thereupon called for the yeas and nays.
The Objectionable bill was passed after
an all-night session, but failed in the
Senate. In that Legislature Richmond
was represented in the House by Messrs.
