Fosters Great Ambition.

FFOM Wt <NeW kOfk tOHttUtH.
A paragraph published yesterday about
Secretary Foster said that he had realized
his lifelong ambition in securing place
in the Cabinet. This is an error. Mr..
Fosters chief ambition in life, about
which he has made no secret, has been to
represent the State of Ohio in the United
States Senate. Twice he has had the prize
almost within his grasp. In 1S80he with
drew from the race at the request of
President Hayes in favor of General Gar
field. Garfield was subsequently nomi-
mated and elected President. Then, when
his election was practically assured, he
again stepped aside, this time at the re-
quest of Garfield, and permitted Mr.. Sher-
man to take the place.
There was an understanding that Mr..
Foster should go into Mr.. Garfield's Cabi-
net as Postmaster-General, and his name
was ON Garfield's slate up TO few hours
before the nominations were made. At
the eleventh hour Garfield substituted
Thomas l.. James for Foster Mr.. Foster
did not care to antagonize Mr.. Sherman
when lie came up for reelection, and at
each of the two succeeding Senatorial
elections in Ohio the Democrats had q
majority in the Legislature, so his Sena'
torial ambition has been sadly deferred.
Ii will be seen that Mr.. Foster has had
his share of disappointmcnts, especially as
he was also booked for place in Mr..
Harrisons Cabinet two years ago. His
present appointment, therefore, may be
regarded in the nature of n partial return
for his heroic self-denials in the past.

sherman,u Friend. prnxton.

From ne Ne,o York Recorder.
Two days after General Sherman's
death General Thomas Drayton Of South
Carolina died at his home. The two men
were warm personal friends, and General
Drnyton had received from General Sher-
man Just before the latter was taken sick
q letter, In which the great soldier ex-
pressed the anticipation Of much pleasure
In meeting General Drayton at West Point
next yearat the commencement exercises.
Drayton was an old West Pointer, and
Davis. td
The home of the Draytons in South
Carolina was after the style of the old
English mansions and was built in the
early colonial days. One of his ancestors
was appointed Governor of the two Caro-
linas when they were colonies and some
members of the family have always
borne a conspicuous part in public life
from that time till the close Of the civil
war. General Thomas Draytm was him
self distinguished soldier,,a descendant
from and a representative OF the old Eng
lish cavaliers, and possessed the friend
ship and esteem Of most of the prominent
public men Of the country during the past
forty years,

MR.. LucKErr FINED.
He Pleaded Guilty to n Charge of Writ
ing n LibeIOus Letter.

ne iiehueu Ouftby tO " Chdfsc OI Writ-
ing n LibeIous Letter.
Samuel T.. Luckett was brought up for
trial this afternoon in the Criminal Court
for writing slanderous and libe!ous let
ter to his brother-in-law, Samuel w. Dali
zell. Mr.. L. II. Thomas appeared for
Luckett and Mr.. Clagett fol the Govern
ment.
Mr.. Thomas stated that after consulta-
ton with his client he had determined TO
enter plea Of guilty and to throw himself
upon the mercy OF the Court.
The letter, he said had been the outcome
of q divorce suit, which is now pending
in the Equity Court between Luckett and
his wife. The defendant, Mr.. Thomas
said, was ready to prove his case, but he
did not desire that the private affairs of
his family should be exposed to the
public.
Luckett was ordered TO stand up by Judge
Hagner, who proceeded to impose sem
tence. The charge, the Judge said, was q
very serious one, and called for both fine
and imprisonment. The writing of libel
often produces terrible results, as was
shown by the recent tragedy in Columbus
The Court, however, was led to regard this
case with leniency, as it grew out of do
nestle discord and unhappiness. The
Court, therefore, imposed fine of 500
and costs, which the prisoner paid.

FROM THE DISTRICT CAPITOL.

The Guy CAsE.--A gentleman thor
oughly conversant with District affairs,
who desires his name withheld from pub
licatiop, said TO q CRITIc reporter this
morning: II do not think, from the pres
eut condition of things, that the case Of
Lieutenant Guy will ever reach definite
settlement. The Commissioners IN my
opinion, regret the hasty steps they took
IN the premises, and will defer Judgment
until the question has faded from the
memory OF the general public and all per-
sons interested In the discussion. Matters
Of this kind die within themselves
bear on them, friendly or otherwise.
But II Is conducive to the morale Of the
police force and in justice to the accused
that decisive action should be taken by
the Commissioners, who ought to acquit
or condemn. No doubt the resignation Of
Mr.. Hine at the very time when the case
came to an issue and the eunwillingness of
Mr.. Ross to pass judgment upon an ac-
cusation, the features OF which he was not
well acquainted with, has led to this
dilatoriness.
COMPLAINTS OF SHORTAGE IN WEIaHT.-
General X. ID. Mussey complains to the
Commissioners of short weight in purchas-
ing merchandise from II. II. Walker &
Co., at 9f6 Louisiana avenue. Messrs.
Walker 4 Co. excuse themselves on the
ground that they never tampered with the
scales, and depended on Sealer Crouch to
keep them In proper condition. The case
was referred to Frank Aldrich (sealer Of
weights and measures east Of Ninth street)
for his opinion. He thinks that there was
no wrong intention ON the part of Walker
\ Co., or neglect by Sealer Crouch. Fur
ther, that scales in such continual use
may, without the knowledge of the owners,
become disarranged, and that the short
weight may have resulted from the care
lessness of clerk.
COMMISSIONER Ross Commission
Ross remained at the District Building
only short time this morning. He Is
suffering from severe cold and left for
his hotel to take much needed rest.
PHYSICIAN TO THE PooR.--Health Officer
Townshend recommended the appoint
sician to the poor for that portion of
Washington west of Rock Creek, with
Office at Tenallytown.
BUILDING PERMITs.-H. w. Coffin, two
frame dwellings, Meridian Hill, cost
$4,500 Frank N. Carver one frame dwell
ing, Meridian Hill, cost $500; j. II.
Lewis, one brick dwelling, 100 X street
northeast, cost SO, 500; James +. Bradley,
one brick dwelling, 1744 F. street north

office building 1909 + street northwest at
o cost of $1,000 was granted Howard T..

COMPLAINT ABOUT VIOLATIONS or THE
SUNDAY LAVA resident in the vicinity
Of North Capitol and f streets writes q
letter to the Commissioners in which he
signs himself "a Sufferer" complaining
Of the Sunday sale of liquor done by sa-
looms and aIcertain drug store in his neigh
borhood; He says in conclusion, please
try and break them up for they cause

BRIDGES SWEPT AWAY.
Considerable Damage Done by the

Considerable Damage Done by the
Storm In California.
SAN FRANCISCO Feb. 25.-Reports re-
ceived from the different parts of the
State show that the storm has abated.
Serious damage has been done to railway
property, especially in the southern part
of the State.
Soledad Canyon, on the line entering
Los Angeles from this city, is in as bad q
condition as last year. Much of the new
and costly work which required ten
months to complete has suffered from
the storm. The pile work of the bridge
west of Los Angeles has been badly
wrecked, 200 feet of the bridge carried
away and the track washed out. The Ell.
trance to the tunnel at the Canyon has also
been damaged. On Yuma division eight
vents of the big bridge were dislodged,
and the track is six feet out of line in
many places. A bridge situated near
Monte has also been swept completely
away. Between Pomona and Cyuamonga
three washouts have occurred. East Of
Cotton 250 feet OF the track, round house,
and everything movable has been swept
between Benning and Cotton have been
weakened and make travelling dangerous.
The Santa Ana branch of the track is
under water for long stretches, while some
parts of the road have been swept entirely
away. South of Downey station the new
railroad bridge was destroyed and the
town itself flooded. Between Seven Palms
and Yuma the track is in dangerous
condition, and over three miles Of the rails
have disappeared. Nearly 200 miles Of
wire are down between Seven Palms and
Yuma and nothing definite can be learned
of the condition of the track.
The Sunset route will likely be inoper-
atiye for week, and no tickets to New
Orleans will be soldfor the present. Wash
outs have occurred OH the Atlantic aud
Pacific near Barstow, and the sale of
tickets over this route via Mojava have
been suspended for week.
The Central Pacific route being in good
condition passengers will be sent East by
that line.

short ON Family Names.
From ne Philadelphia Times.


One of the odities Of fashionable society
in Philadelphia which is puzzling to
strangers is the number of young ladies
met with and classed as bellies who bear
the same family name. Until recently it
has not been considered good form to use,
except in intimate intercourse, young
ladies first names, but now IL is not only
necessary, but, there being daughters of
different branches of the same family
bearing the same Christian name, II has
been found convenient to number them
as in the case of young men, and such
titles as Miss Arabella Rittenhouse III, and
Miss Regina Pedigree III. are found on
cards and invitations. This, of course,
cannot be carried ont in introductions,
and as there are at least twenty families
with young ladies bearing the same name,
though only distantly related, the effect
at large party is very confusing, For
instance, there are twenty-elght Miss
Biddles.
