DEATH OF AN ENGINEER Mr.. Mich
ael Lynch, who had been suffering from
Bright's disease for the past seven
months, died at his home oaWolfe street,
at an early hour yesterday morning.
The deceased was one of the old-time
engineers on the Midland Railway,
having entered the employ of the COM
pany in 1856. He continued at his &C.
cupation until about seven months ago,
when failing health forced him to de-
sert the iron horse. During the thirty
six years he was employed on the road
he never met with what may be term
ed an accident, Mr.. Lynch, from his
long service, was probably one Of the
most extensively known engineers on
the road, and he has many friends and
acquaintance who will regret to learn
of his death. He leaves wife and
four children.

THE G.. A. R.-It is probable that
during the encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic in Washington
next fall, Alexandra will be called on
to furnish accommodations for many
who will be unable to secure them in
that city. Already inquiries have been
made concerning the hotels, boarding
houses, &c, in this city by persons who
contemplate making their headquarters
here during that time, and it is thought
that if an effort were made several hun
dred persons could be induced to come
here, while the encampment is in pro-
gress in Washington. Assistant Post
master Burroughs states that if any
citizens who wish to take hoarders dur
ing the encampment will leave their
names and addresses with him, he will
furnish the list to the committee in
Washington, who have charge of the
public comfort of the visitors

ESCAPED FROM hIL-On Saturday
evening Mr.. Joseph Holt, the outside
guard at the jail, heard rap at the
iron door and supposing that the inside
guard wished to come out, unbolted
and opened the door without taking
the precantion to look through the
wicket to sec who had summoned him.
Mr.. Holt had hardly gotten the door
ajar when colored prisoner, named
Williams, who Was confined for stealing
COWS in the county, rushed through the
opening, dealt him stunning blow in
the face that knocked him down, dash
ed out of the Jail into the street and
made his escape before Mr.. Holt could
regain his feet and give an alarm. AS
soon as possible the police were mott
fled of the affair and strict search was
made throughout the city for Williams
but he could not be found Mr. Holt
was not seriously though painfully
hurt. He is an elderly man and not
very active, but has been faithful
guard al the Jail for long time and his
mistake in opening the door without
first having ascertained tic cause Of
the alarm will make him more mindful
in the future.

ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE AND VIRGINIA ADVERTISER


WuTsUNTIDE.-Yesterday was whit
Sunday or "Whitsuntide," which iii
the calendar of the Roman Catholic,
Ep scopal and Lutheran churches
proclaimed the greatest, most lmpor
ant and most joyous religious festiv;
of the entire year with the exception of
Christmas and Easter. Throughout
Great Britain and the whole continent
of Europe it is quite as generally and
deliberately celebrated by all classes and
ranks, from the highest to the lowest,
as are those two other great festivals
with which it is co-equal. In one sense
it is even greater and its celebration
even more general than that of Christ
mas or Easter, for it is not only Chris
tian festival but Jewish one as well,
the event which it commentaries in
the Christian Church having occurred
on the Hebrew day of Pcntecost.
That Christian event was the descent
of the Holy Ghost on the apostles when
they were ali with one accord in one
place" after the ascension of our Lord,
on which occasion they received the
gift of tongues or different languages
that they might impart the Gospel to
foreign nations. In this country, at the
present time, the day is generally cele-
brated by citizens of foreign birth, the
German clement, especially, devoting
great attention to it and keeping as a
holiday not only Whit Sunday but the
following day. Whit Monday In the
Episcopal, Catholic and Lutheran
churches special services appropriate to
the occasion were held
Among the ancient Hebrews our
Whit Sunday, which was their day of
Pentccost, was a species of harvest
home. 1t was calculated from the sec
ond day Of the Passover, sixteenth of
NeSan.

boat passed up and down the river
loaded to their guards with pleasure
seekers, driven from Washington and
this city by the torrid wave. Between
four and fivc o'clock black clouds form
ri in the southern and southwestern
heavens and the glare of lightning and
the roll OF thunder indicated that some
contiguous sections were having sum-
mer storms. The cloud, however, seem
elto part asunder when it reached
Alexandria, and two sable wings of it
passed one to the south and the other
10 the north of the city, leaving but
thin sheet of vapor here, which emitted
areircshing shower, and laid the dust:
This was accompanied by cooling wind
which continued after the rain and rem

words thanked his people for the very
cordial reception accorded to him, and
expressed the hope that, with Gods
guidance, he might continue to merit
their regard and become real helpful
pastor to this flock over which the Holy
Ghost had made him the tender shep-
herd. DR.. Waller preached in Christ

services were held in most of the
