The Presidents Ducking Trip

UNDERWATER, Va, Feb. 24.-The
light house tender Maple, which left
Washington at IL o'clock last night,
arrived here this morning about four
o'clock, having on board President
Cleveland, Commander LambertoD, DR..
Riley and Attorney General Harmon.
Mr.. Cleveland came upon invitation of
Mr.. Withers Waller to shoot ducks
from his blinds. The President and
party will dine with Mr.. Waller this
evening.
The President has not been as sue
cessful in his duck hunting as antici-
pated. The tide has caused the ice to
float down near the principal blind
which has scared the ducks and to
certain extent has injured the morn
ipg's sport, only seven or eight ducks
being killed up to lunch time. How
ever, the President expects to haye fine
sport this afternoon.

INVESTIGATION REsUMED.-The in
vestigation into the Deaf, Dumb and
Blind Institution was resumed at Rich
mond on Saturday. Miss Grimaldi, of
Richmond, a blind student, was the
first witness, and testified that while a
pupil she knew nothing of immoral
practices and had never smelt whisky
on Superintendent Doyle. She spoke
in the highest terms of the institution.
Charles Tosh, of Petersburg, was
summoned for the defense. He was q
monitor in the blind department. He
admitted that he was drunk on duty;
that he drank frequently with the
teachers and officers; that he kept whis-
XIV in his room, and that he bought
whisky at barroom before he was OF
age. He knew ofno immortality on the
part of the male and female teachers
and pupils, and thought the whole
thing was absurd. he denounced 10
severe terms the statement that ]. T.
Cashion had bribed him with whisky.
He spoke highly of Captain Doyle, say
ing that while he took his toddy like a
gentleman, he did not get drunk. He
also spoke most highly of Miss Carr,
the governess, saying she watched over
the girls as q mother would do.
