Capt. Lamb Said to Owe His Nominal
ton to q MfscOunt.
Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va, October A.-As fore
casted in The Star several days ago. a
political sensation has been created here
by the publication Of the fact that Captain
John Lamb, free silver candidate for Con-
gress from this district, owed his nomina-
tion to a miscount in the fourth precinct
of Monroe war; This miscount of one vote
in favor OF Captain Lamb gave him two
delegates in the nominating convention
more than he ought to have had, and there
by permitted the Lamb men to control the
temporary organization and appoint the
committee on credentials. which Unseated a
King William contesting delegation and
nominated Lamb.
Had the vote in the precinct referred to
been properly counted and the error recti-
fled at the primary results Representative
Tazewell Elicit would have secured two
more of the delegates that were returned
for Lamb, and this would have nominated
him on the first ballot.
Members Of the city democratic free sill
yer committee discovered the error, but
they are trying to keep it a secret. II is
believed some legal action may result and
that the whole affair may be stirred up
afresh.

MOTHERS CLUBS.
What IL Proposed by Those Interested
in the Coming Congress.

lntetc0te0
in the Coming Congress.
Preparations are now being made for the
meeting Of the first national congress OF
mothers in this city next February. Active
work is being done by those interested in
this movement. looking to the formation
of Mothers Clubs" SO that the education
of mothers may be carried on successfully
and the objects sought by the congress may
be advanced.
The promoters Of this educational work
hope to interest in 1t many women of some
leisure and some means. SO that through
their membership fees they may be able
to purchase q number Of books bearing
upon the objects Of the club, so that a nu-
cleus for mothers library could be
formed and a custodian for the books ap-
pointed.
1t is believed that such means of instruc-
tion would prepare the members for the
discussion of selected topics relating to
child culture and the home, and would en-
able them to write papers to be read at
the meetings. While the promoters of the
mothers clubs think the papers. &C. present
eo to the clubs should as rule come from
members. 1t is expected that specialists win
be secured to address the clubs OCCASION
ally. 1t Is proposed to hold meetings at
least once a month. when the fathers will
be invited to be present and take part in
the discussion.
Z OE WORKING women VINO are mothers 1t
Is proposed to form clubs in convenient To-
cations and to have illustrated lectures
music and pleasant surroundings, so that
interest IN them may be secured. Mothers
who are inclined to urge a lack of time for
attendance on meetings Of the clubs will
be urged to abandon many things that ure
regarded as superfiuous and to leave Off
fashionable calls, to save the time spent on
friils and furbelows for their own and
chidrens clothes, and to devote more time
to considering the education Of their chill
dren In the more essential qualifications
or life. 1t Is especially desired to eliminate
all social distinctions from the work of the
clubs. and to have all women meet on the
common ground Of motherhood
1t il desired that each club as SOM On
formed should send at least one delegate
to the national congress. to convene ia this
city In February. the exact date and pro-
gram for which are to be determined later

THE MILITARY ACADEMY
Colonel Ernst's Report of Its Condition to the
Secretary Of War.
There Are Now Forty Vacancies-The
State of Discipline Is Good ana the
Institution IL FlOurishing.

Colonel o. H. Ernst, superintendent of
the Military Academy, in his annual report
to the Secretary Of War, says that the
number of cadets present and absent Sep
tember ]. 1885. was 332. including one for
eigner, receiving instruction by special au-
thority Of Congress. This is the largest
number of cadets that has ever belonged
to the Academy at one time. During the
year ID were discharged for deficiency in
studies. resigned. died. . were dismissed
and 13 were graduated. a total loss Of 102,
while there were admitted in all at the
examinations held in March, June and Au-
gust no.
Are Now Forty Vacancies.
Colonel Erpst. says: THE number of ca
diets now authorized by law is 371, omit
ting the foreigner. There are therefore
40 vacancies. There will be many more
before the end Of the academic year. 1t
is not possible to keep the corps of cadets
full. beg leave to renew the recon-
mendationiof former reports that mod
crate increase pc made in the number au-
thorized by law, such. for example, as
large from leach state to be nominated ty
the Senators representing the state in Con-
gress." o.
.~,i. Good State of DiscipIine.
The superintendent says the state of dis
cipiine Of thej corps Of cadets has. been
generally excellent. A few exceptional
characters came into colffsion with the
authorities during the summer encamp-
ment. Two of these were dismissed, after
trial by court-martiai. for hazing new
cadets. and the, others were suitably dealt
with. >, a i
The health of the command during the
year, was far from satisfactory. There were
epidemics Of. influenza. malarial fevers
measles and whooping cough. The last two
prevailed among the civilians and enlisted
men, and, by careful quarantine arrange
ments. were kept out Of the corps of cadets
Besides the deaths already mentioned, there
were two deaths among the civilians re-
siding upon the post There were several
desperate illnesses Of various kinds in ad.
dition to those which proved fatal.
In u Flourishing Condition.
In closing his report Gel Ernst says that
the academy Is in a fourishing condition,
and he adds:
1T Is passing through an era Of improve
ment, SO far as Its equipment and out
ward physical condition are concerned. due
to the greater liberality of Congress in
recent years. The curriculum, both tneo-
retical and practical. is the result Of many
years experience, and has proved itself
ton. Improvements in that direction are
less rapid and less radical than in the
other. but there also the academy is ad-
vaucing, as will appear from a perusal of
tached to this report. The professors and
officers are accomplished. each in his
sphere, and devoted to their work, and de-
serve well of the government"

as to the Hynes Share.
Judge Hagner heard arguments yester-
day afternoon in the Probate Court in the
matter Of the requested transfer by the
administrator OF one-half of the estate Of
the late Judge Advocate General Joseph
Holt to the heirs-at-law. less certain res
ervations to Mr.. Luke Devlin. named as
executor In the alleged will Of February
Z, 1873. The request although agreed to by
both sides to the contest over the will, was
opposed by the administrator of the es-
tate, the National Savings and Safe De-
posit Company. ard the Judge reserved
his decision.
The contested instrument, 1t will be re-
called. divided the estate equally between
Miss Lizzie Hynes OF Kentucky and Miss
Josephine Holt Throckmorton, and when,
Judge Helt had not made it, the defeated
parties noted an appeal. Subsequently Miss
Hynes. for a valuable consideration, with
drew from the contest, transferring all her
right, title and interest in and to the estate
to the next Of Kin Of Judge Holt.
That being; dohe. the next of kin asked
that the administrator, appointed before
the appearance Of the alleged will. be d.
rected to pay ossr to them Miss Hynes'
