ANACOSTIA.

It has generally been supposed for some
days past by the citizens OF Anacostia that
there Is already practically vacancy in
the office of justice of the peace for Ana
costa, Justice Carroll W. Smith, who holds
the commission, now being an inmate of st.
Elizabeth's Asylum, but letter received
from him yesterday by his wife indicates
that he does not intend to give up the posi-
tor without struggle In his commun!ca-
ton Justice Smith states that he is about
well. and expects to be released in a day
or two when he fully expects to resume his
duties as magistrate. 1t Is said that some
of those who were largely instrumental in
having Mr.. Smith committed to the asy-
lum are now taking an active part in seek
ing to prevent the revocation of his COM
mission and the appointment of his sue
cessor. Notwithstanding this, the friends
of Messrs Albert l.. Richardson and Will
liam w. Fisher. who are warm though
friendly competitors for the anticipated va
cancy, will not abate their energies in this
direction. as they believe that 1t will be
impossible for the present incumbent to
hold on to the place long.

escaped from st. Elizabeth's Asylum, but
communication with the officials of that in
stitution disclosed that she has not been an
inmate there. She is now held at the SUBJ
station to await disposition of her case.

white man, a littleSater. ALSO took a seat.
After performing their devotons the ladies'
left the pew and went to another part of
the church. where they remained for
little while before missing their pocket
books Both at once returned to the pew

Mr. William Stamp. a farmer living near

enter the pasture where she is kept with
put mourning great danger of being at
hacked. James Carlin, a farm hand, was
knocked down by the brute and had his
