Secretary Hoke Smiths mail this morn
ing contained a letter from Virginia s.
Washington and Marry L. Washington of
Portsmouth, o., saying that they had
proof that they We're descendants Of Gen
George Washington. and had in their pos
session several relics that belonged to the
father of his country. These include a
tortoiseshell snuff box, which was given
to Thomas jefferson by Washington, and
subsequently returned to the Washington
family; a toddy spoon, Washington's
Free Masons apron, Bible, gold-headed
cane and cavalry saddle. 1t is also as
serted that they had once a sword and
cane belonging to Washington, for which
congress at one time agreed to make a
handsome donation, provided they were
presented to the nation. These valuable
relics. they say, were entrusted to Con-
gress man Judge Summers" presumably
of Virginia, who served in the TWENTY
seventh and Twenty eighth congresses,
who presented them to congress in his
own name. The heirs assert that they af-
terward received a letter of thanks from
congress, but that letter was unfortu-
nately lost by their relative Samuel T.
Washington, who died among strangers
in Texas" and they have not received
the donation. They ask Secretary Smith
TO obtain for them a copy of the missing
letter. and to see that Justice is done
them.

The assassin in the railway carriage is

life of NJ. Freulon in the Nancy-Paris ex-
press has made the nervous traveller cry
out for more protection. The remedies,
however, suggested by the public, namely,
the frequent patroling of the train by ad-

land. are either impossible or inexpedient

to make fireworks. This general uneasi-
