partments, each fitted up with ali che
toilet accessories essential to comfort

space in the rear. AT Greensboro,
n. c., vestibule dining car will be

From Virginia republicans here TO
day it is learned that Colonel Lamb
and e1-U. S. Attorney Craig are the
leading candidates for Gen. Mahone's
successoiship, the former in the lead,
but with the condition that he shall not
only be chairman of the State com
mittee, but the Virginia member of the
national republican committee. Judge
Sener of Virginia, who was asked about
this matter to day, says his idea is that
the better plan would be to allow Col.
Boiling, the second member of the COM
mittee, to be chairman until the next
State convention, when new commit
tee will be appointed. 1t is too late
for any body to do any thing in the
present campaign, and an appointment
of chairman now would only handi-
cap the convention.
r. Knapp, clerk in the Navy De-
partment, blew his brains out last night.
The work of changing the F street
car line from horse to cable line was
commenced to-day at the eastern end
of that line.
Andrew Gleason said to-day the re-
publicans Of the District of Columbia
would send two Reed delegates to the
next national republican convention,
that Perry Carson would not 60 as a
delegate, and that it was uncertain
whether one of the delegates would be
colored man, as many Of the colored
republicans of the district wanted two
willie men to go.
Senator Daniel of Virginia arrived
here last Saturday evening and took
the boat at Alexandria for Northumber-
land county, Virginia, in which county
and Lancaster he will make speeches.
He called at the Episcopal High School,
near Alexandria, to see his son. who has
been entered there. The Senator brings
good reports from his party in all parts
of Virginia in which he has spoken,
but says there is not much political ex-
element in the State this fall.
At Mapquin, King William county,
Va, W. l.. Rouse Unsupported post
master to-day, vice T. ]. Bosher, re-
signed.
Senator Gibson of Maryland, who is
here to-day, says the democrats will
carry his State without doubt, and
that, too, by large majority. Balti-
more, he says, viii give them from FIVE
to seven thousand majority.
Every member of the Mother Su-
preme Council of the World, Ancient
and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freema-
sonry, 81 in number, was in attendance
at the biennial session which COM
menced in the Temple here at noon to
day to continue through the week. AS
Grand Commander, without doubt,
Thomas H. Csswell, of California, will
be elected to succeed the late Philip G.
Tucker, of Texas, who died here about
q year ago. The question of emerging
the northern and southern jurisdiction
will not be considered, efforts in that
direction having been abandoned.

min Williams, a District Of Columbia
convict, sentenced to six years in the
Albany penitentiary for larceny.
