' Washtnqto^ D..0, July 3,1886. ' It ia refreshing now and then to turn our thoughts from the strifes aud turmoils of the world into quieter channels. With ^that object in view I strolled through the ^owercorridors of tb6 new Pension build? ing the other day and accidently run upon a little stand from which is vended cigars, tobaccos, fruits and other like articles that tompt the appetite. This stand itrkept by a tall, erect and manly personage, who bears' a striking resem? blance to General George Washington, and he claims to be the nearest living relative of the immortal George. His name is Ebenezer Burgess Ball, and he belongs to the F. F. V'b of Virginia, from which Washington's father selected 'Hary Ball to be his wife. His life has been an adventurous one, but of late years he has been residing,in. this city. On the completion of the Washington Monument he applied for the position, of watchman,, thinking that it would be a fitting thing for the nearest living relative ? of the "Father of His Country," to watch ever the shall erected to his memory. He failed to obtain the.position however, and he then applied to Commissioner Black for a position as watchman, but 'were being no auch place vacant the General gave him permission to start the present stand. He is a pleasant old gen? tleman and very popular among the clerk of the office, who patronize him gener? ously, so that he makes a comfortable living." ? The proposition made to Congress some time ago to establish a bureau, charged with the purchase, of all supplies needed by the several departments, will not be .pushed this session.. The advocates of the measure have prepared statistics to show how much the Government would save by purchasing such supplies as coal, ice, furniture, stationery, and the like in large quantities direct from the producers instead of through the middle men. It is also contended that besides a saving von the articles purchased there Will be a further saving in cutting down the extravagancies' which have prevailed for so long a time. Each department has had the purchasing of its' own supplies aud as a consequence every whim of the heads of the bureaus has been gratified,, no matter at what cost If there should be a single purchasing office for all the departments, articles absolutely necessary for comfort and con? venience would be furnished, but there would not be the same reckless disregard for expense as under the present system, because when people purchase for others they Vre more economical than- when purchasing for themselves; even though they do not pay out of their own pockets. The opponents of the new scheme how? ever say that if the porcliasing power was vested in one man or even in a board or ganized for the purpose, there would be mach corruption to arise out of it, as a [ few men would use money freely to con jfcrol the purchasing'agent. At any rate there is no prospect of the bill becoming a law this session. ' Of all the great park schemes introduc? ed into Congress this session none rivals in immensity-and magnificence the scheme of ;Senator Butler, to convert the historical and memorial Arlington estate -into a national park. The proposition is to throw an iron bridge, having a wagon way of 30 feet wide and. foot-ways on either side 8 feet wide, across the Poto? mac river from the present Naval-Obser? vatory grounds to some convenient point in the Arlington estate, thus uniting Vir? ginia and the District of Columbia, and converting the Arlington plateau into a parade ground and forming a continuous park from the Botanical Gardens to the extreme Western boundary of Arlington. Within the limits named Senator Butler proposes to furnish the National Capital with a national park that will be to Washington what Hyde Park is to Lon? don, a resort fox pleasure, a place where a national exhibition can be held, where -there will be room and accommodation for military parades and other national demonstrations. The Senator thinks that it would be a good plan to have a muster 'and review of our Slate militia at least once every four years. This is one of the many uses which a national park in Washington will serve. As was anticipated and predicted in these letters would be the case, there have been wholesale dismissals, promotions and appointments in the several depart? ments this week. The most numerous changes were made in the Treasury De? partment, and the fewest in the Depart? ment of Justice, There are rumors of more changes In the next ten days, and until the month of. July passes there will be many anxious hearts among govern? ment employees? Changes are also now being made in the District offices. The new Democratic appointees are dyed in the wool bourbons and believe that Democrats should hold the offices ander a Democratic administration. The new Commissioners have accordingly removed the Superintendent. of Police and ap? pointed a good Democrat in his place and madarne rumor says that the Auditor and also the Collector of Taxes will band in*their resignations in a short time. The latter is a colored man, and has held the position for nearly fifteen years, H. Murdered by a Woman. MiDWAYj July 4.?At Hunter's Chapel Church this morning, while Sunday school was in session, Miss Emma Con? nelly killed John A Steedy. She walked into the church with her arms folded and a pistol in one band, cocked. She passed into the seat in rear of Steedly, and when just behind him shot him. He arose, looked around, tried to get out his pistol, and at the same time made for the door. Miss Connelly snapped her pistol at him again, but it failed to go off. If it had gone off the chances are that some one else would have been hurt, as the church was; crowded. ! Ste-;dly fell at the door of the church just outside and died in about three min? utes. There was great excitement among the ladies and children at the time. Steedly had been putting out damaging reports about Miss Connelly, for which Lor brothers and a Mr. Ott had horse whipped him some time ago, an account of which appeared in your paper. Some ten days since Steedly published a letter in your paper giving his version of the whipping and reiterating the reports. This letter seems to have been the imme? diate cause of the shooting. . ; As far as can be.ascertained the feeling of the pnblic seems to favor Miss Connel? ly, who is under arrest. In the News and Courier on June 7 the following letter was published from our Bamberg correspondent: i "Some excitement prevails in the neighborhood of Hunter's Chapel over the cowbidiag of Mr. John Steedly by Messrs. W. T. Connelly and A. L. Ott. It seems that Steedly had been circulat? ing false and damaging reports concern? ing Connelly's sister. In order to obtain full satisfaction for the offence Messrs. .Connelly and Ott purchased a $2.50 Whalebone whip, waited upon Mr. Steed? ly and administered about thirty lashes, wearing the whip completely out. It is said that St Bediy has become reconciled to his fate, since calling upon a (rial justice and being advised that in case a lawsuit was entered against Messrs. Con nelly nud Ott other punishment wonld probably be inflicted for circulating reports equally false and damaging con? cerning other persons." On June 23 a letter from John A. Steedly was published, iu which he said: ? "In your issue of the 7th inst., I see a card from your Bamberg correspondent, stating that I was cowbided by \V. T. Connelly and A. L. Ott. Your corres? pondent did me great injustice in that report. I was attacked by Messrs Con? nelly and Ott, and before I had any warning Connelly presented a cocked Eietol at me and Ott placed bis band on is, and I was told by both of these men that if I moved they would kill me. Connelly did strike me several blows with a whip, the cost of which I do not know or care. Your correspondent says that I had be?n circulating false and damag? ing reports concerning Connelly's sister. That is untrue. All that I said was in a very confidential way, and I had no de? sire or expectation of doing Mies Con? nelly any damage by speaking of her to my friend, -but unfortunately for me and him be divulged the secret. "And now,, since the lady and her friends have taken the steps they have, injustice to myself I must say that her mother knows the whole truth and knows that I have not lied. Every one can see that your correspondent was not disposed to do me justice in that report. "I hope in the future, when using my ?ime through the papers, he will be uareful'to say nothing but the truth. Time will tell, whether 1 am reconciled to my fate or no: and as to his statement about my calling on a trial justice, it is, as other statements made, either wilful or negligently untrue. Now, Mr. Editor, I hope in justice to me you will publish this." On June 25 the Bamberg correspondent of the News aid Courier wrote as follows: "In justice of your correspondent and Mr. Steedly ii? is necessary to state that the report made concerning the cowind? ing of Mr. John Steedly was founded entirely upon information given your correspondent by a gentleman whom he believes to be reliable. His statements have been confirmed by other parties, and your correspondent has neither seen nor heard a denial of the facts as reported until MrtSteedty's card appeared in the News and -Courier yesterday. It was far from the intention of your correspondent to do Mr. Steedly an injustice, and it is hoped that, ho may be able to clear up the matter ssitisfactorily."?Dispatch to the'News and Courier. A Revival at Walhalla. During the past week there has been a series of meetings in progress in the/ Methodist Church, such as has never be? fore bf held in Walhalla. The plain and powerful preaching of the gospel by ?Rev. J. W. W?lling, of Anderson, S. O., has been blessed bf the Spirit in conver? sion of about thirty souls and building up those who were already believers in :' the most holy faith. Great assistance has been given him by the valuable ser? vices of Revs. J. Fletcher Anderson,'J. H. Morgan, T. C. Ligon, Messrs. H. G. Scadday, 0.-0. Cummings, A. T. Dun lap and Miss Samnella Brown, who have done faithful labor for the Master, and by prayer,- exhortation and song have earnestly worked for the salvation of our people. Such abundant fruit has never attended the preaching of the word in our remembrance, ana all - of every Christian denomination seem tobe alike interested in the advancement of the kingdom of God and His righteousness among the children of men. The great heed of our Church is active, working, living faith, and do one can doubt tbat in many, hearts there has been the bap? tism, of the Holy Ghost, and where here? tofore there bad been nothing but spir? itual death, there is now the richest and sweetest Christian experience. Ten have joined the church, many are seek? ing salvation and Christians of every name and order are blessed in a sweeter experience. The meeting will probably continue all week,?Eeowee Courier.

YoU have already learned through the local columns in the last issue of the Intelligencer the fact that we have bought out the entire stock of Messrs. j. M. McConnell & Co., comprising nearly six thousand ($6,000) dollars worth of Goods, ombracing splendid lines of? Dry Goods, Boots, Shoes, Hats, Notions, And, indeed, everything usually found in first class Dry Goods stores. This, in addition to our already very large Stock, gives us the largest and most complete assortment of Goods ever before contained in any one Store in this City or in the upper part of the State. We bought them at a bargain for spot Cash, and propose to give the trading public the benefit of it. We know that the prices we offer these Goods at will be a surprise to you. We know, also, that competition is out of the question, for if others would undertake to sell their Goods at the prices we do, they would have to sell them for less than they paid for them, and board themselves besides, and this wouldn't be business, you know. The following are a few of the prices at which we will sell for the next sixty days, in order to make room for our Fall purchases : 5,000 pairs Ladies' and Gent's Shoes, from 50c to $1.00 per pair. 1,000 pairs Ladies' and Gents' Shoes, from $1.00 to $2.50 per pair. 1,000 Men's and Boys' Straw Hats, from 5c to 75c each?worth double the money. 750 Men's and Boys' Wool and Fur Hats from 10c to $1.50 each?worth twice the money. Dress Goods, Notions, Fancy Goods, Hosiery, Gloves, Ladies' Collars and Cuffs, Belts, Veiling, Ruffling, and a multitude of other article?, at just half the customary prices. RIBBONS?a large lot, including all the new shades?on which we are entire? ly overstocked, and most sell. You can have them at your own price. CORSETS from 25c to 50c?can't be bought for less than 50c to 75c. The fa? mous "Ball" Corsets, the best in the world, we will sell at less thau manufacturer's cost. The makers of these Corsets require their agents to sell them at not less than 25 per cent, above cost, but as we bought them at an Assignee's Sale, of course made no agreement of that sort. Buyers, who understand their true value, are eagerly making their purchases now, and we would advise you to buy early, as we will not be able to replace them at the prices offered. On next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the 8th, 9th and 10th days of July, We will make a Special Exhibit of Gent's and Boys' STRAW and FELT HATS, with prices marked down low, to be good only for these three days. We want everybody who ivants Hats to come, as this will be an opportunity to buy tbem cheap, and for less than their value. Come anyway, whether you want to buy.or not, but bring your money along, in case you should see anything in our Store so cheap that you may want it, that you may not be disappointed about it. We will be glad to see you at all times, and will do our beat to please you. We know that we can make it to your interest to give ub your trade, as we have a Stock of Goods that cost us less money than others have to pay for them. Come and see for yourselves.
