expedition that was beautiful as it was inter-
esting and his hearers were rapt in the most
complete attention.
His opening sentence was Enthusiastically
simple and striking. He said: 1--WE have come
here today to pay the final tribute to q little
band OF officers and seamen OF the navy, who,
nine years ago, gave up their lives in a toll
some and dlfhcult enterprise, arduous labor
OF exploration and scientific research. 1t 10 a
date well chosen. for it is the anniversary of
the day upon which closed the record Of their
undertaking They entered on their task with
no certain prospects of success, sure only Of
the periis and difficulties they were to en-
counter and looking for no reward save that
which comes from the consciousness of duty
done. Their expedition made its contrib ution
to our knowledge of the lands within the Arctic
circle, but, like SO many others that had gone
before IL, failed OF its great and ultimate pur-
pose. But this same expedition, failure though
IL was in its attempts to penetrate to the pole
or even to gain latitude beyond its predeces-
sors, yet, in its bright example of sustained en-
endeavor, of lofty steadfastness OF purpose of
dangers met unhinchingly and hardships borne
without complaining, was crowned with sue
cess far surprising the triumphs Of scientific
discovery and worthy Of all that We can do to
commemorate and celebrate it here"
STORY or sTRUooLE AND HARDSHIP.
Then followed tho story Of the expedition,
its formation and objects, its early trials In the
never opening ice pack, the bravery OF the
officers and the patience of the men, bringing

form you that in the course Of the interview
which had with the president Of the republic,
referred to in my No. 90, his excellency ex-
pressed the most cordial approval of the sew

Left His Children One Dollar Each.

In the case Of the will Of Henry Boorman,
which was sustained by the jury in the Circuit
Court by their verdict yesterday, as stated in
The STAR last evening, the children were the
caveators and the property will 60 to the sister
Of the testator. Messrs. Campbell Darlington
and Irving Williamson appeared for the chill
dren and Messrs. Gordon d Gordon for the
sister. Boorman, a well-known colored man Of
Georgetown. left property valued at $4,000.
He died in January, 1880, and after mis- death
paper was offered for probate as his last will
and testament, dated September 20, 1886, in
which he left 81 to each of his eight children
naming them. The will gave as a reason for
his action that his children had .highIy Of
Tended" him ''by their unbecoming and undu-
tiful conduct towards him. He then left the
balance OF the estate to his sister, Agnes Fer
guson, as he declares, ''in consideration of the
affection which l have for my sister and also
In consideration OF the many faithful services
and many substantial acts Of kindness she hath
for many years last past done and performed
for me IN and about my affairs and Of my con-
hdence that she will continue to have regard
and interest for me and to afford me relief
under difficulties in the future as in the past
and likewise in recompense therefor"
Upon presentation of the will for probate q
caveat was filed by the children declaring that
the paper was not the last will and testament
OF their father, but a forgery. or if made by
him at all it had been obtained by fraud and
undue persuasion Of the sister. On this cayeat
the issues were framed which have Just been
tried.

Obliged to Close the Post Office.

Col. Whitfield, the first assistant postmaster
general, has given instruction to the post Office
inspector at Chattanooga, Tenn, to at once
proceed to Warn, Ga, where it is reported
lawless mob has control. The postmaster in
Geographic dispatches to the department says
that he was obliged to close up the Office and
seek safety elsewhere. This post Office has
only been recently created. The inspectors
report is not expected for several days yet.
Col. Whitfield says that lawIess mob breaks
out at Warn every once in q while and plays
havoc. If the mob cannot be suppressed by
the inspector" he said, Il think We shall have
to DO the next best thing to preserve the dignity
Of the United States by closing up the Office"

THE POLICE COURT BUILDING.
The Work Of Improvement Being
Pushed Forward Rapidly.

The work OF improving the Police Court
building 10 being pushed forward and Building
Inspector Eutwisls expects to have the work
finished BY the LIST Of December. The new ad-
dition 10 the building will give much more
room and, in the event OF jury being pro-
vided for the court during the coming session
OF Congress, the building will afford ample 40
commodations.
In the new structure there will be three cell
rooms in addition to rooms for the use of the
clerks. This addition II being erected on
rented ground and 10 in the rear Of the old home
OF Daniel Webster. Workmen digging for the
foundation last week cut down an old tree that
was said to have been planted by the lllustrious
statesman.
The changes being made in the court room
Will give 1t an entirely different appearance
ana 1t will be SO arranged that the business
Wall not be 30 badly obstructed ~ heretofore.
SOME OF THE CHANCES.
Tho judges bench will be on the west side OF
the room between the two windows, and the
dock will reach from the door leading to the
cell rooms more than half way across the room,
SO that dozen or more prisoners can be
Drought out at o time for arraignment. The
construction OF the dock will necessitate the
erection OF two rails and these will separate the
witnesses from the general public Another
place, in front OF the judges bench, will be set
apart for members OF the bar, and they. like
the general public, will be separated from the
witnesses for the prosecution.
The witnesses will enter the building from
the 9Th street side while the general public will
enter from ID street.
This arrangement will make il extremely
difficult for the "cappers' to do business, and
the practice before the court will be much
cleaner than 1t was several years ago.
The Charges Against James Smallwood.
In the Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bing-
ham, today Maj. ]. Med. Darlington called
attention to the case of James Smallwood, and
suggested nolle pros. He said that SMALL
wood had been convicted in May last Of keep
ing an unlicensed bar, and taking an appeal he
was sent to Jail. where no has served over ninety
days, the punishment in default imposed in
the Police Court
MIR. NJ. N. Richardson. for the District. said
that he had not examined the case, but under
stood that Smallwood had been out on bail.
At this point Mr.. Clagett said that there was
q United States case against Smallwood for
keeping a gaming table.
MIR. Darlington SAID that he understood that
that was another man of the same name. On
inquiry it was found that Mr.. Darlington was
mistaken, and the subject was passed.

The Story Of the Expedition.
The story OF the cruise Of the Jeanette was
we'll known at the time Of the expedition and
the discovery Of CHASTITY results, but it may
have slipped from the minds Of people duriue
the nine and more years that have elapsed, SO
that brief summary Of the events may be OF
interest The Jeanette exploring expedition,
under the command of Lieutenant Commander
CIV. De Long, United States navy, sailed from
San Francisco on the 9Th Of July, 1879 Its OBJ
ject was to reach the north pole BY way Of
Behring strait, and it was the first exploring
expedition that bad ever attempted to gain the
pole by this route.
Two months afterward the Jeanette entered
the ice pack about twenty-five miles east OF
Herald Island. For nearly two years she was
held fast In its embrace, slowly drifting to the
northwest until on the 18th day of June. 1881
in latitude "a degrees Is minutes north and
longitude f55 degrees east, crushed and help
less, she sank beneath the waves
Fortunately this catastrophe had been fore
seen and the vessel had been abandoned the
day before. One week afterward the entire
party, dragging tner sleds and boats, started
across the ice for the Siberian coast, 500 miles
away.
For two months they toiled and struggled in
the face OF tremendous difficulties, finding at
times after twelve hours of continuous labor
that though they had apparently made five or
six miles to the southwark the ice pack had
been moving and carrying them with it to the
northward. Finally the edge Of the ice was
reached. and breaking up their siedge for fire
wood the three boats in company made sail for
the Siberian coast
On the night of September ~, while driving
before northeast gale, the three boats be-
came separated. De Long commanded the
first cutter, Lieut. c. W. Chip the second cut
ter and Chief Engineer Melville the whale
boat
DREADFUL STRUGGLE.
After days Of anguish and suffering Melville
and his party, bleeding and famished, crawled
up the banks of the Lena river and were saved
