Mr.. Pfstcr, the florist at the White House,
says that the people who attend the Marine
Band concert in the Executive Mansion grounds
this afternoon will be given opportunity to see
the Victoria Regina water lily in bloom in the
fountain pond south of the mansion. It will
be a rare sight. This lily is one Of the most
beautiful of the species. 1t blooms az . pure
white flower and then turns pink.
The Victoria Regina lily comes from the EN-.
erson river in Brazil, and owing to its distinc.
lively tropical nature seldom blooms out Of
doors. This summer has been such hot one
however, that the rare flower has probably
thought itself in its own Brazilian home, and
has unfotded its petals.

Two Interesting Inventions.

From the New York Sun.
The curious invention Of Capt Fraysseix of
the French navy, called the tir optique, bids
fair to create a complete revolution in modern
artillery. 1t has been thoroughly tested during
the past two years on board several vessels Of
the Mediter ranean feet, and recently on board
the Acheron. The commission appointed by
the minister of marine have unanimously re-
ported in favor Of its adoption. A complete de-
question, because it is o secret to be kept a.
long as possible from the Triple Ali
ance, but enough OF it has been given out to
prove that French artillery il now married to
photography.
In other words, the invention consists in the
application Of the dark room" to the opera
tion Of aiming. The image of the object to be
hit, passing through lens, is reproduced upon
Q screen. The pointer looks as this image just
as the photographer would look at an image
upon his ground glass. He brings the object "a
the central point Of the screen; and then he
fires. In this way the shot or shell reaches the
object with accuracy. The results of the ex-
periments are said to be marvellous. But an
other great advantage In this new method of
firing consists In doing away with the necessity
OF long training for gunners. Any intelligent
himself with the extraordinary perfection Of
his aim. And now there IL . movement to In
trOduce this precise method Of Killing into the
army. 1t is to be applied 10 the siege guns and
the field artillery; and possibly before long 1t
may be brought to sufficient perfection to be
used by the infantry. At al events the firing
In the future war promises 70 become, in the
language Of Marshal Canrobert, ''un peu des-
agreeable"
Perhaps there Is some consolation to be de-
rived from another invention which u reported
from Roumania. 1t II q very simple affair, and
something like it has probably been proposed
before and laughed stby old military conserve
tives. 1t is q stop shot in the form Of . litsls

had informed his hearers that Mr.. Brown was
present at that meeting in his individual capac-
ity, not as a member of the committee, and
that he did not voice the sentiments of the CEN
trail committee. Having made this exoneration
OF the central COMMITTEES, although without the
committees authority, Mr.. Weller now wished
to explain why he had used the committee g
name.
DIR. Hammett moved that the committee in
dorse Mr.. Weller's action in this matter.
general murmur Of approval went around until
Mr.. Madigan took the floor to suggest the pro-
priety OF withholding further action in this case
for the present, or perhaps until the committee
was ready to take up Mr.. Browns case for con-
| sideration. He eaid that it might not be wise
! for the committee to make a record in this mat
| ter just at this time. One or two others also
expressed favor at Mr.. Madigans views, until
Mr.. Burns put new light upon the matter by
| saying that 1t would be discourteous to the
chairman not to indorse his action, when that
\ action was taken in defense of the committee.
Mr.. Madigan fastened to explain that there
was no personal feeling in his suggestion at all
| that IL did not imply any lack Of confidence in
| the chairman, but that he had only raised the
question Of the desirability Of opening the
Brown matter in any way at present 1t was
nothing very serious, anyhow.
| Mr.. Weller then relinquished the chair to take
the floor in his own behalf He intimated that
he would regard ii as courteous for the COM
mittee to indorse his action. He had felt il his
duty to defend the committee and likewise fell
\ Ii obligatory upon him to explain that defense
TO the committee. He had telegraphed his &C
ton in that case to the democratic national
committee in New York, reciting to them his
reputation Of Mr.. Browns utterances. He
| considered the matter serious enough to war
rant attention after y republican friend had
| come to him and said triumphantly: I've have
J Burchard, too" After this statement from
Mr.. Weller the committee Immediately rendered
him vote Of Endorsement and adjourned until
next Thursday.
] Mr.. Weller said, after the close Of the meet
ing, that he has reason 10 believe that the dis
sension in the committee viii be healed by next
| Thursday. i

CINCINNATI, July 25.-A terrible out
rage was perpetrated at Parlor Grove
last night. Josie Berger. pretty Gov
lngton girl, was the victim. Together
with her escort she attended the Pande-
monium club picnic. While taking
stroll through the woods the couple
were overtaken by two young men from
Covington, who were well known to
both Miss Berger and her escort. One
OF the men was Robert Brown, deputy
sheriff of CovingtOn, and the champion
lightweight pugilist of Kentucky. He
had revolver in his hand, and, point
Ing it at Ferguson. the young man who
accompanied Miss Berger, said:
''4ou are both under arrest"
"You don't mean that" said Fer
guson.
"Fll show you mighty quick if
DON'T" replied Brown.
His companion grappled with Fer
gusop, while Brown choked Miss
Berger into insensibility and assaulted
her. Ferguson broke loose and ran
for help, which soon arrived, but the
villains had escaped. Intense excite
'ment prevailed, and diligent search was
made for the perpetrators of the out
rage, but without result. The whole
affair occurred within few yards of
house. All the parties are we'll known

Whites and Blacks in a Tempest
IIous Humor.
COLUMBIA, s. c., July 25.-A race
war is threatened at IrmO, twelve miles
from here. George Kinard, a negro,
assaulted Mrs. Addison, white woman.
and the whites talked of lynching him.
The negroes around Irmo are greatly
excited over the affair and are gather
ing there. This morning Lewis Brown,
a negro, became very inSolent and got
into fight with S. X. BOuknlght, who
shot Brown through the stomach, and
he will likely die. This shooting still
further iEcensed the negroes and there
was talk of rescuing Kinard. The
white men of the neighbOrhOod are col
lecting at lrmo under arms, and the ne
groes are also out in force. Trouble is
feared tonight.
The latest advices from Irmo show an
alarming array of facts. The negroes
are arming and sending runners into
the country for help. The white cit
lZens are preparing for defense, and
trouble will certainly occur. The pris-
SOner, Kinard, was lodged in Lexington
county Jail but the sheriff is very appre-
hensive as to his safety. The Lexing-
ton guards were asked to turn out and
protect the jail but refused to do so I'M
less ordered out by the governor. The
governor has been telegraphed for
