thankful to humidity that IT did not enter the

NO FEARS FOR GROVER.

WASHINGTON. Dec. IA. 18s5.-No un-
easiness is felt by the officials of the
Light House Board or others as to the
Presidents. safety, though no definite
news of his whereabouts had been re-
ceived UP to eleven A. M. Fromthe very
nature of their duties. the captains OF
the light house tenders are familiar
with every nook and cove along tho
coast. and would know where to take
most effective shelter. The Violet it is
said, is undoubtedly in Some safe an
chorage though. as the storm has pros
trated the wires in many directions, no
precise news as to whereabouts is OBJ
tainabie. There is reason to believe that
in case the President should not be able
to reach Washington ON or before Mon
day next by reason of the stress of the
weather and the low stage of water in
the Alhemarle and Chesapeake Canal
and both the Venezuelan correspondence
and Secretary Carlisle's report may be
sent to Congress on that day.
1t is said that the President may re-
turn to Washington tomorrow, probably
in the evening. To do this it will be
necessary, in all likelihood, to leave the
lighthouse tender at Norfolk and take a
railway train. 1t was understood about
the executive department today that the
President will be at his desk Monday
morning

She is decrepft, her face is pinched and
wrinEled and she wore shabby clothing
Lawyer Bretfeld made an appeal to the
Court to let her off with a fine.

Judge Hudspeth tried in every way to
learn from the old woman wnom she
was employed by, but failed. She said
a boy came TO her place twice a day,
took the plays and brought her the

This. is an object lesson exclaimed
the Judge Indignantly. "Unscrupulous
men employ ignorant women and boys
to help them carry on this nefarious
business and when the tools are ar
rested they refuse to give the names of
their employers and the Court cannot
get hold of them. I wish the Court
could get hold of some of these unscru-

will hereafter be imprisoned. 1t was ur-
Fortunate he said. that this old woman
should be the first example, but the
Court had duty to perform. The pris-
