OSMAN DIGSA'S ARABS ERI7I3 BACK. A Severe Engagement of Five Hours, -with 60O Arabs Reported Killed The British Loss Slight General Topics. I By Atlantic Cables. I Suakim, March 20. The British forces se out again this morning at daylight In the same direction as yesterday.

They carried with them two days' rations and some 23,000 gallons of water. London, March 20. A special dispatch from Suakim to the London Telegraph states that a five hours battle was fought this morning between the British troops and the forces of Osman Digna, and that Osman Dlgna's position was finally captured by the British. The dispatch says that the Arab losses were very great. Gen.

Graham telegraphs as follows: llashttn, March 20-3JM P. M. We moved out from camp at 6.15 o'clock this mornine, leaving the Shropshire regiment to guard it. On reaching the first bill at A. M.

we found that tbe enemy bad retired ana occupied another hill a mile and a-quarter distant. After a short halt the Berkshire and Marines were ordered to clear tbe hill, the Indian contingent and tbe Guards supporting. This was done very effectually, the enemy being driven etf the ridge, and streaming south toward Tarn ai, were charged by squadrons of Indian lancers In the bush. The cavalry then retired toward the Guards. Many of the enemy passed the Guards at tbe foot of tbe hill, and made for the hill west of Hasheen.

In the valley these were shelled by the Royal horse artillery, while other parties moving round our right were encaged in the bush by the Fifth Lancers. Meanwhile a zareba. with four entrenched posts on a hill commanding it, is being formed. The advanced troops have all returned to this position and will return to our camp, leaving the East Surry regiment, with two Krupp guns and four Gardners and water-tanks and signal appliances at the entrenched position. Our killed are two officers and two men of the British and five Sepoy.

The wouod-d are two officers and twenty-six men of the British and one officer and ten men of the Indian contingent. The infantry behaved with great steadiness. The number of the rebels is estimated at 4.000. Tbe rebel loss is not known, but it is heavy. The engs gement lasted five hours.

The Arabs carried off all of their dead and wounded. Natives report that numbers lofC Osman Digna's men are deserting, having become disheartened. Today's nshting was of a noticeably different character from that ot any preceding engagement. The Arabs maintained a steady rifle fire, retiring slowly from each position held by them, and avoiding close quarters. Another account of today's battle Is as follows: Suakim.

March 20. The battle between the British troops and Osman Digna's forces lasted five hours. Great bravery was displayed on both sides. At the end ot the engagement the Arabs retreated slowly toward Tamai. The Arab loss in killed and wounded is estimated at 600.

Tbe loss of the British is 40. The Arabs displayed desperate bravery. The marines drove the Arabs from the hills and forced them to retire to the plain. Then the Indian troops charged upon the Arab position, but were outflanked, and aa unsuspected bodyof Arat'S succeeded in getting behind their line. The Indians found themselves between two fires and they fled.

During this retreat they were closely pressed by the Arabs, who hamstrung the horses and speared the riders. The Bengalese fell back in confusion upon the English infantry and Guards who bad been formed in a hollow square, and the square leisurely retired while the Arabs were yelling that they bad regained their lost position. At this juncture the artillery came to the rescue, and a brisk fire of small shot from the machine guns and shells from the Krupp field mortars drove the Arabs from their position. The marines maintained a steady firing throughout the engagement, but the honors of the day are probably due to the Irish Lancers, who changed the tide of battle by a desperate charge and retrieved the fortunes ot Gen. Graham's command when they seemed almost hopeless.

Tne British troops have returned to their former camp near Suakim. 1 P. M. The British troops have returned to this point. Osman Digna sent reinforcements numbering 1.000 to Hasbeen on Thursday night to assist in opposing tbe British.

The total loss of tbe British was 11 killed establishment, and a large ball for drawing painting and embroidery. There are also a large study room, a hall for public exhibitions, and one for the exercise of vocal and instrumental music In 1S44 another extensive structure was erected for the exclusive accommodation of the Sisters and novices, and was ready for occupancy in September. 1845, It extends east and west, connecting the academy with the chapel, with lateral projections to the south, inclcsing on three sides a court-ysrd 70 feet by 40 feet in extent. This residence for the community is 232 feet by 40 feet, two stories and aUic'buill of brick and cut stone, colored light slate or gray. It is after the conventual (style of fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, with embattled parapet, high pitched roof, with dormers, and belfry 30 feet high, the lateral walls broken by buttresses, and with porches to the first and second stories along the north walL Tbe first and second stories are 14 feet in height.

On the first floor is a cloister running around the court-yard and communicating with the chapel, and also the public rooms for the use of the community, the superior's apartment and chapter room. Sister Mary Etienne was elected Mother Superior In 1S45. During the same year the White House, which was originally built for the purposes of the institution, and which had for some years been used exclusively by the Sisters, was removed to a location northwest of the chapel and converted into an orphan asylum. On tbe grounds in front of the academy a small Gothic oratory bas been erected by the contributions of pupils, and called "The Chapel of Our Lady of the Valley." Its interior arrangements and decorations are beautiful. Since tbe commencement of tbA administration of the present Mother Superior Euphemia, who took charge in 18U6.

a large building, with mansard roof, has been added to the resources of the establishment. This building Is supplied with gas and steam. It contains a handsomely-frescoed ball for distributions and commencement exercises, and capacious parlors. It connects with other parts of the academy by wide and cool corridors. To theleft of the chapel a large new building of brick, with stone trimmings, three stories.

90 by 50 feet, is in course of construction, and is under roof. It is in the Queen Anne's style, costing about $60,000. Mr. John Stack. of Baltimore, is the architect, and his father, Mr.

John Stack, the superintendent. Mother Seaton, tbe founder, was an aunt of the late Archbishop Bayley. of Baltimore, and their remains respose side by side in tbe cemetery chapel of St. Joseph's. Their deaths were over half a century apart.

She died rather young, considering her important works, being only 47 years of age at her death. Mother Euphemia is still the superior. Other Losses by Fire. At Augusta, the tobacco warehouse of Rufus Carter Co, tbe grocery of James J. Bailie Sons and other loss about JG0.000.

The trial of Jo6epb A. Katzenberger. indicted in the Criminal Court of Baltimore City for the murder of Emeline Miller, at No. S3 North Paca street, Baltimore, on November 7, 18S4, and which was removed to tbe Circuit Court for Howard County, came up for trial this morning at 10 o'clock. Judges Miller.

Jones and Smith on the bench. State's Attorney Joseph D. McGuire conducted the case upon the part of the State, and Joseph A. Heuisler, assisted by Henry E. Wootton, defended the prisoner.

Herman Fahrenholtz. aged 17, who was employed in a barber shop next door to the place where tbe homicide was committed, testified that between 5 and 6 o'clock of tbe evening on the day in question he was standing in front of the shop, and heard Emeline Miller, who was standing in the doorway of Muller's saloon, call a man named Eckstein, and saw tbe prisoner fall up against her. He saw Emeline Miller throw up her hand and turn to go into the house, but she fell down just inside the doorway. He saw the prisoner try to raise her, and she was carried into the house by Wm. Deck, and Eckstein, who had been standing near.

The prisoner was the nearest person to the woman when she fell. He saw blood upon her person wnen be went into the house. Wm. Deck, of 35 North Paca street, testified that he saw Emeline Miller beckon for a man named Eckstein to come to her, but that tbe prisoner first reached her and tell up against her, when she felL and witness picked her up and helped to carry her into the house. She did not speak after she was carried in.

Upon cross-exsmination the witness stated that the prisoner was very drunk and was crying, and did not speak intelligently. Dr. Walker, who held the post-mortem examination, said be found a punctured wound, which had been made by a sharp instrument, one-half an inch long in the left groin, mortal in its nature, and from which no one could survive over ten minutes.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Washington, March 2a Postmaster-General Vilas has daily calls, second only in numbers to the crowd which daily besiege the White House. Ex-Congressman Talbott, of Maryland, called upon Mr. Vilas today by appointment and had a somewhat extended interview. Mr. Vilas has asked to see the applicants for positions of prominence, and Mr.

Talbott paid him a first visit. The Postmaster-General asked Mr. Talbott good many questions, and was interested when told that tbe ex-Congressman was a graduate of the Baltimore county public schools. Mr. Talbott remarked that he had not yet met President Cleveland, but had not been idle in the presidential campaign.

Mr. Talbott left, with the understanding that he would make an early call at the White House. Up to this time Mr. Talbott's case has been in the hands of the Maryland Congressmen and other congressional influence from outside that State. Mr.

Vilas is pointed in his inquiries as to tbe views of applicants in relation to railroad interests. On this point Mr. Talbott's answer was emphatic. He had never been a railroad's counsel, he said, but had been in condemnation case3 on tbe other side where railroads were parties, and was positively free to act for the best interests of the department in any and all cases. Tbe Postmaster-General indicated this afternoon that he had not arrived at any conclusion as to whom he should recommend to the President for nomination to the place, and did not know when be would reach a determination.

But while this is the case the appointment is liable to be decided upon any time. Mr. Malcolm Hay. the new First Assistant Postmaster-General, was at the department also today. He talks of going to Florida, to be absent possibly for two or three weeks.

Mr. Crosby, who is still acting as first assistant, appeared disinclined to remain in charge for so long a time, but will doubtless consent if desired. It was again said today that it was not improbable that Mr. Hay would decline the place altogether, but he will be guided by the advice of his intimate friends. MARYLAND DELEGATION.

Senator Gorman said today that the Maryland delegation understood it to be settled that the President would make no changes in the Maryland ffioes until the expiration of the terms of the present incumbents, and consequently it was deemed advisable to postpone the conference of the Maryland delegation to a day later than had been thought of. Senator Wilson said be was having some experience with the office-seekers, but he was quite gratified to say that his Eastern Shore constituents were modest and moderate in their demands. As stated in this correspondence some days since, tbe only application which bas come to the PostofBce Department for postmaster at Baltimore Is that of Mr. Harris J. Chilton.

Miss Etta Taylor has applied for the postoffice at Westminster, Carroll county, Md. Mr. Wm. L. Montague is the last one spoken of in connection with the Baltimore post mastership.

Around the State Department today there were some faint whispers with reference to foreign missions, and Gov. McLane still seemed to have the call on the French mission, although as to this tbe new administration, in the appointments so far made, has shown most decidedly that advance calculations do not always count. It was said that ex-Gov. John Lee Carroll, of Maryland, had been suggested by some of his friends for either the English or the French mission. Whether ex-Senator McDonald, of Indiana, is to have a foreien mission has not transpired, but he has had enough of Washington, and savs he will go home tomorrow.

Ex-Representative Ben. Wilson, of West Virginia, is said to be after an assistant attorney-general's place. It is said that Attorney-General Garland will not appear in the irginia coupon cases. Attorney-General Garland is sending out of bis rooms at the department, as fast as it can be gotten rid of, the bric-a-brac accumulated by his predecessor. Mr.

Brewster. "VIRGINIA DAY" AT THE WHITE HOUSE. Today was "Virginia day" at the White House. Among the first callers on the President were Senator Camden, Mr. Miller, the new commissioner of internal revenue, Mr.

Walter Evans, his predecessor, and Capt. B. F. Hall, of West Virginia. The new commissioner said he simply called to pay his respects to the President and thank bim for the appointment.

He said he wouid eudeavor to fulfiill the duties of the office in a manner that will reflect credit upon the administration as well as himself. Soon after this party left tbe White House Senator Kenna, accompanied by some West Virginia friends, called to "pay their respects." Later in the day Governor Wilson and the Secretary of State of West Virginia called with a delegation of West Virginians, and after waiting some time lu the ante-room were admitted to see the President. They did not appear in the best of spirits wtien they came lrom the President's office. Their faces wore a serious expression and their murmurings were soft, but evidently deep. This was the more remarkable as they, like all others, had only called to "pay their respects." After the West Virginians had departed Messrs.

Geo. D. Wise, Geo. C. Cabell and John W.

Daniel, accompanied by one of their constituents, were shown into tbe President's room, where they waited until the President had received the usual number or daily callers. Mr. Daniel preferred not to state the object of their visit, and hence it might be inferred that they did not call to "pay respects," but to arive the President some information as to the best men to appoint to Virginia offices. PENNSYLVANIA OFFICES. Mr.

Randall spent some time at the department and is getting well enough to look around and pick out for his particular friends the fruit which is dropping. Mr. Randall occupies a better vantage ground with respect to the federal patronage in his own State than any other prominent democrat in the whole country. The two Senators from Pennsylvania are republicans, and.Mr. Randall is tbe only democratic member of the House of Representatives from the great city of Philadelphia.

If men agreeable to him are put at the head of the federal offices in Philadelphia he would practically control the immense patronage of the mint, tbe post-office, the custom-house, the internal revenue and the United States court-house. He has no colleague to dispute precedence and divide the offices with, and if the President follows his recommendations as for the Philadelphia offices, Mr. Randall would be the biggest political potentate in the country. Having.this stake to play for he is avoiding as far as he can any complications in the matter of prominent appointments in the departments here. ENTERTAINING EX-PRESIDENT ARTHUR.

It is understood that ex-President Arthur will remain here until tbe close of next week. He has been entertained at dinner by friends almost every night since he left the White House. Nearly all of the leading members of the diplomatio corps will have dined him before he leaves. 'They take this means of returning tbe courtesies which he extended to them during the time he was President. They can now have Mr.

Arthur as their guest, but while he was President he could not enter the residence of any foreign minister or accept hospitalities of any character from them. RECEPTIONS DURING LENT. This is the first time in the memory of the oldest inhabitant that the ladies of the Supreme Court have held their receptionsduring Lent. It was their intention to have suspended them as usual, but there was such a pressure brought to bear on them in consequence of tbe new ladies enterimr tbe cabinet circle that they had to give up tbe idea. The Lenten season has, however, stopped a great deal of bailing that otherwise would have taken place, especially among members of the diplomatic corps.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. Senator Stanford has rented the residence of ei-SPDaror Pendleton, of Ohio, and will occupy it when he returns in December to attend the regular session of the Senate. In anticipation of an adjournment of the Senate next week Senator Miller, who is chairman of the committee on foreign relations, has already decided to leave for California with his family on Tuesday next. ECONOMY IN THE TREASURY. A Commission to Suggest Reductions and a Simplification of Methods.

Washington, March 20. The Secretary of the Treasury has appointed Assistant Secretaries Fairchild and Coon, and Assistant Treasurer Graves a commission with instructions "to make an examination of the Treasury Department with special reference to the simplification and improvement of the methods of doing business and to the reduction and rearrangement of the official and clerical force." They are further instructed, as follows: "You are also authorized to call beforeVou and examine the officers, clerks and employes of the department; to call for such statements as may seem to you necessary and to inspect personally the books, accounts and records. You will report to me from time to time your conclusions and recommendations. You will be provided with the clerical assistance required to enable you to prosecute your inquiries promptly and thoroughly. In any recommendations which you may make for the discharge of employes you will be guided solely by their fitness to perform the duties assigned them, having due regard to tbe provisions of section L754 of the Revised Statutes, and ef section 3 of the act August 15, 1876." The statutes referred to in Secretary Manning's letter are as follows: Section 1,754 Bemied Statutes.

"Persons honorably discharged from tbe military or naval service by reason of disability resulting lrom wounds or sickness incurred in tbe line of doty shall be preferred for appointments to the civil offices, provided they are found to possess the business capacity necessary for the proper discharge oi the duties of such omce." Section of Act August 15, 1876. "That whenever in the judgment of tbe head of any department the duties assigned to a clerk of one class can be as well performed uy a clerk oi a lower class, or by a female clerk, it shall be lawful for him to diminish tbe number of clerks of a higher erade, and increase the number ot the clerks of the lower grade within the limit of the total appropriation lor such clerical service. Provided, that in making anv reducUon of force in any of the executive departments the head of such department shall retain those persons who may be equally qualified, who have been honorably discharged lrom the military or naval service of the United States, and the widows and orphans of deceased soldiers and sailors." The Mexican Treaties. Washington. March 20.

The Senate today ratified the additional article of the Mexican treaty extending until May 20, 1S86, the time for the approval of the laws necessary to carry Into operation the commercial convention between the two governments concluded January 25. 1883. The Senate also removed the injunction of secrecy from the treaty relating to the boundary line bill between the. United States and Mexico along the Gila river. Washington Motes.

I It is understood that at an infortnalJcon-ference of Senators of both parties today it was airreod that the Senate should adjourn either on next Monday or Tuesday, unless Mr. Cleveland shall signify his desire that tbe session be prolonged. Amontr the President's callers todav were Bishop O'Hara, CoL E. Burke, director-general of the New Orleans Exposition, and Admiral Worden. A LOSS OF ABOUT $50,000 SUSTAINED.

St. Joseph's Academy in Flames Two Buildings Burned Cool Behavior of the Sisters Frederick Firemen at the Scene. I Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Emmitsburg. 20. The home of the Sisters of Charity In the United States, about half a mile from the town of Emmitsburg, Frederick tounty, came very near being destroyed by fire today.

Under the direction of the Sisters is the famous seminary known as St, Joseph's Academy. The Order ot the Sisters and the pupils of the Academy occupy a group of five imposing buildings, the entire property being valued at over 1.000,000. Two of the structures were used by the Sisters as kitchen, dining-rooms and dormitories. At 12 o'clock today fire broke out In the kitchen, spread rapidly and destroyed the two buildings, causing a damage of about 1 50,000, which amount is partly. covered by insurance.

The rest of the buildings werenot hurt. The Academy departments remain tbe same as before the fire. The children are all safe, and continue their studies without interruptions. Tbe fire is supposed to have been caused by a defective flue or by the kitchen range, but just how it happened nobody knows. The Sisters were at dinner when a telephone message (came from Emmitsburg inquiring if they knew the roof of the building in which they were sitting was in a blaze.

Before the message was sent several Sisters who were in another part of the house had detected the smell of smoke and given an alarm. So startling and unexoected was the news of the fire that a panic would have been created among the Sisters had not some of them been of sufficient self-possession to calm the fears of the others. Orders were given by Mother Etiphemia, Superior, of the bouse, to look out for the welfare of the pupils, and in a few minutes the Sisters had reached the academy departments, where they informed the girls of what had happened, told them to get their wraps together, and then marshaled them in the exhibition hall in readiness to go safely out into the grounds if necessary. The Sisters say the girls were not frightened and even relished tbe excitement, though of course they were distressed at the damage that was being done to the buildings. "They behaved beautifully," said Mother Euphe-mia.

There are 75 pupils at the Academy. While some of the Sisters were in charge of the pupils, others busied themselves removing small articles of furniture and other household things into adjoining buildinirs. There are about 200 Sisters at the home and they worked heroically, but were not able to save much. While the incidents narrated were taking place inside the different buildings tbe two burning structures were being steadily devoured by the flames. The only obstacle that confronted the advance of the fire was a gallant effort on the part of the Emmitsburg Hose Company.

The use of a fire engine in the town is to some extent rendered needless by the fact that a reservoir was recently constructed on the side of the mountain ridge at an elevation of 200 feet. The property of the Sisters is connected with this water supply by pipes. The hose company attached several lines of hose to the Pipes and were able to throw heavy volumes of water into the flames. The men worked with all their mitrht and would have subdued the fire had not the wind been so varying. The weather was bitterly cold and the wind keen and cutting.

Nearly the whole town of Emmitsburg turned out to assist their hose company, and many rendered valuable aid. The wind re-auently blew the water away from the building, dousing the workers and spectators. Clothes became coated with ice and thoroughly drenched. A number of tbe men had to go home and change their clothes two or three times. Adjoining the building in which the kitchen is located is a large structure known as the Gothic building.

In this building is the hospital, in which there were about forty-six Sisters. They were removed to other quarters without injury, and in a short time the fire on the roof was extinguished. The shifting of the wind led to the belief that all tbe buildings might be burned if assistance were not received. Telegrams were sent'to tbe fire departments in Laltimore and Frederick requesting that an engine be sent to Emmitsburg immediately. Word came back from Baltimore that it would take four hours to get here, which would be too late to do much good.

The Frederick volunteer firemen responded promptly that they would come. The telegram bad been sent to Col. Baugh-man. one of tbe vice-presidents of the junior company of Frederick. Tbe Western Maryland and the Pennsylvania Railroads offered every facility for quick transportation.

One engine, the Independent, and seventy-five men jumped aboard a special train. Tbeyleft at 2.45 P. and arrived at Emmitsburg in an hour and a-quarter. Tbe train did not stop at the Academy.as there were no means there of getting the engine off the car. The half-mile run from Emmitsburg to the Academy was made in a short time, and soon the Independent was under full pressure of steam.

The hose company revived the days of tbe old tire volunteers by appearing a little resentful at the approach of a burger machine than they run with, but this feeling was only temporary, and the two companies worked together afterwards in fine style. Tbe Frederick firemen were from the three companies of that place. Among those who accompanied the firemen were Capt. James McSherry, Hon. F.

T. Nelson and CoL L. Victor Baughman. tbe last of whom, in his hurry to reach the scene, forgot to leave his beaver at home, and presented the unusual spectacle of a fireman working away in rubber coat and polished hieh hat. The stream of water that was poured into the fire by the Independent told wonderfully on the spreading flames and helped materially in preventing the other buildings from ignitiDg.

The stables did catch, but the fire was put out at short notice. The fire continued to burn, however, in the two buildings to which it was confined, and although it was fully under control by 9 o'clock it had not ceased burning, and the firemen from Frederick gallantly offered to stay on the ground until every possibility of danger was over. At midnight they were still on the ground with the hose company almost freezing, but not faltering. The Sisters served coffee, tea and sandwiches to the firemen, and afterwards ordered supper for 125 from the hotel. The news of the fire was flashed all over the country, and as there are pupils here from almost every State in the Union, anxious messages crowded the telegraph wire throughout the afternoon and night.

In reply to these inquiries, Mocher Euphemia telegraphed the extent of tbe damage and told parents to feel no uneasiness. President Hood, of the Western Maryland Railroad, offered to give to the Sisters any aid in his power. Rev. John Foley advised Mother Euphemia to send the Sisters and pupils to Baltimore, where he would take care of them. From Mt Hope a message came to send the Sisters and pupils there.

Hon. Chas. B. Roberts took tbe first train for Emmitts-burg to look after a daughter who goes to the academy. Messrs.

J. J. Turner. L. R.

Foley. C. F. Carroll, J. O.

Clark and Henry C. Hartman, all of Baltimore, came upon the four-o'clock train. The impression prevailed that all the buildings had been destroyed, and it was feared sometning might have happened to the pupils. The Sisters sorrow over the loss of their buildings is pitif uL They gathered in little knots in the corridors of the unbanned buildings whispering, or el6e tried to forg-et their trouble in busying' themselves in attending to the wants of the firemen. Occasionally they could be seen braving the chilly mountain blasts and slipoerv ground to ret ra last look at tbe burning buildings.

At night names snot upward spasmodically against tbe dark background of mountains, illuminating the locality so plainly that the different buildings could be clearly seen at a distance. All the principal buildings pn the property are of brick, and they form a very im posing grou p. The turned buildings were three stories high. The building in which the kitchen was situated was 60 by 60 and thedormitory building 112 by 54. Only their walls are standing, and they apper ready to topple over.

The other buildings are known as the Gothic buildrng. which is 80 feet long, with wing-; the academy building, which is 100 by 60 feet, with wings 75 by 60; the entrance building, which is 143 by 160; the school building, which is 60 by 60, and the church, which is 120 by 50. Mother Euphemia bas been the Superior for over half a century. The excitement shocked her somewhat, and she had to retire to her room. Neither she nor her assistants could recollect the amount of insurance on the building nor tbe names of all the companies.

The Perpetual Insurance Company, of London, is said to be one of the companies. About 1 o'clock this morning the fire was out, and the volunteer firemen were preparing to Mother Euphemia sent a dispatch to Archbishop Gibbons early in the afternoon acquainting him of the danger which threatened the establishment, and later on in the afternoon addressed him that "the fire has been extinguished, only the kitchen and tbe Sisters' dormitory having been burned, and that the academy of the children were all right." Mother Euphemia also dispatched The Sum at 2.30 P. M. that "the fire was then under control; that it was confined to the Sisters' department, and that the academy was safe." History of the Academy. St.

Joseph's Academy was founded by Mother Eliza A. Seaton, founder of the order of Sisters of Cnarity in tbe United States. The mother house of tbe order was established by her about half a mile from Em-mittsburg, and all Sisters of Charity spend some portion of their time there, the old and feeble finding within its precints an asylum and rest. Conseqnently there are usually over a hundred of the members of the order always at Emmitsburg. St.

Joseph's Academy.under Mother Seaton's charge and that of her successors, has grown to be a mosQlourishing school for young girls from all parts of the country. The buildings, ten in number, cover about one acre and a-halC of land, and are surrounded bv ample and highly embellished grounds. The school was commenced in 1809 in one small building, and was incorporated in 1813. Mother Seaton died Jan.4. 182L To succeed her Sister Rose White, of Baltimore, was chosen Superior.

Tbe Academy then had about 70 pupils, and it became necessary to enlarge the accommodations. To supply this want a large three-story edifice of brick was built, 100 feet long by 50 wide. In 1841- more space was required, and a building 57 by 69 feet and three stories high was erected, connecting with the eastern end of the- Academv and running at right angles with it. It was surmounted with a cupola and belvidere, which commanded one of the most extensive and enchanting views of country scenery that can be afforded anywhere. The particular uses to which the school buildings are devoted are as follows: The main edifice is divided to recitation rooms, cabinet of natural sciences, litrary and dormitories, with the arrangements of the culinary department in the lowest story.

A building in the rear contains the refectory, infirmary, bathing Wanted To Purchase for Cash, a Pho- tograph Gallery on either Baltimore or Lexington streets, or would lease premises suitable for the business.

"The fact that there were 491 deaths from pneumonia in New York during the first two weeks of March need not surprise any one." said Dr. Bagman yesterday.

"The weather has been of a nature to assist the progress of all diseases of this class, and people neglect the most ordinary precautions. At this season no one should expose himself to the cold after being overheated. As it is impossible to avoid this in all cases, however, the next best thing is to use Duffy's Malt Whiskey, which is a sure preventive of as well as a remedy for Pneumonia, Diphtheria and all pulmonary troubles.

-Mabley Carew, corner Baltimore and IiiR-ht streets. THE Not Wanted in arkaksas A citizen of Anderson, S. has received information to the effect that the colored people from that State who have flocked to Arkansas are having a hard time. It is said the Arkansas mountaineers do not like the idea of turning the State into an asylum for negro emierants, and violence is threatened. The condition of affairs in a few counties is said to have called for the interposition of the Governor for the preservation of peace.

A band of mountaineers in Pope and Conway counties have ordered the neirro emigrants to leave the State. Upon this information the Anderson (S. Intelligencer advises the colored people of South Carolina to hesitate a long time before leaving a State where they are protected in life and property for a State where they are treated as intruders and ordered to leave such counties as the native white men do not desire theni to settle in. Vanderbilt's Mausoleum. A firm of granite dealers at Quincy, have received a contract from William H.

The exposed portions of the structure will be composed of Quincy granite, while the vestibules and catacombs will be built of marble, and the arches and piers of limestone. The structure is to be erected in the Moravian Cenetery at New Dorp. Staten Island.

It will require about 8.000,000 pounds of granite, marble and limestone combined to complete it. The cost is estimated at $250,000. The tomb is to be finished by December. This is the most elaborate piece of work ever contracted for by Quincy parties. Mrs.

"The Congressman called at the White House to pay his respects to Mr. Cleveland, and while there took occasion to observe to the President that he looked the very picture of perfect health.

Paris, March 30. There was a sensational scene at the Opera Comlque this evening when Miss Van Zandt came upon the stage as the Heroine in "Lakme." Last Wednesday night she appeared in Paris for the first time since the incident of last November, when she was attacked with vertigo, while singing in "The Barber of Seville." The Boulevard critics ascribe her sudden illness to intoxication, and Miss Van Zandt promptly sued them for slander. Tbe suits are still in the hands of the lawyers, but it was believed that the whole incident had been forgotten, and w'hen Miss Van Zandt appeared last Wednesday night she was rapturously applauded. Since then the Boulevard journalists have organized a hostile force, and this evening they had a clique stationed in the gallery of the Opera Comique. As soon as Miss Van Zandt anneared upon the stage, singing as she came, this clique be trail hissing with ail the power of its lungs.

The male portion of the audience in the lower portions of the house arose and vigorously protested against this interruption of tbe opera, but the uproar was so great that the curtain had to be lowered. The policemen who were present ejected the disturbers, and an inspector of police came upon the stage in front of the curtain and asked the audience if the piece should proceed. The answer was a roar of cuU. The curtain was quickly rung up, Mis3 Van Zandt reappeared as before and received an ovation from tbe audience which left last Wednesday's demonstation quite in the shade.

Bishop Donnelly was named as second choice. Tbe other two candidates were Dr. Walsh, president of Maynootb College, dignissimtis, and Dr. Tynan, tiignvs. The names were sent to Rome, and it was hoped that Dr.

Walsh would be selected by tbe Vatican because, in addition to his great learning and virtue, his political leanings, the Doctor being a moderate home-ruler endeared him to a great majority of the Catholics in Ireland. Bishop Donnelly, on the other hand, is a loyalistand his election is discountenanced by theleairue. The nationalists fear, however, that Bishop Donnelly has been cbosen at Rome for Cardinal McCabe's place, and they look upon this as another Instance of the ascendancy of British influence over the Pope. Secretary Bayard Policy. London, March 20.

Tbe Times, in an editorial this morning, says that Secretary Bayard's policy will not be misconstrued here. No intelligent politician, the Times thinks, is likely to be alarmed lest the possessions of the United States should be unduly extended to Central America, which country is les attractive to Northern people than Soutift America. If the interference of the United States in Mexican affairs, the paper says, can restrain unfruitful conflicts in Mexico there will be some chance of developing the resources of that country.

Walter Sorrell Indorsed. At a meeting of colored voters held at Montgomery Hall last night the following preamble and resolution was unanimously adopted: Whereas, a majority of the voters of this country are rejoiciDgover the inauguration of the first democratic President elected since 1856; and while those who have labored so earnestly with the democratic party in the past are now almost overflowing with gratification, there is a large body of voters who should not be forgotten the colored voters numbering one million, (1,000,000,) thickly inhabiting that part of the country that contributed larcely to the success of the national democratic ticket; and whereas, the leaders of tbe democratic party have publicly declared in the past that if they succeeded in obtaining control of tne government they would prove to the colored people that they were their best friends, the time has now come when the friendship of the democratic party can be proven by public acts, and by so doing forever wipe out the color line in politics, that no man's politics will be known by the color of his skin or his nationality; therefore be it Resolved, That we Indorse Walter Sorrell as the leader of independentism among the colored voters of Baltimore, Md. He, fully conceiving the fact that the republican parry-only used the colored voters of the South as tools.to enable them in electing their national ticket, withdrew from them in 1870 and has since worked earnestly with the democratic party. He canvassed the fourth district of Maryland in 1870 for Hon. Thomas Swann.

and aided in electing him to Congress; in 1872 he was one of the delegates from Maryland to the colored national convention held at Louisville, which indorsed the national democratic ticket, and under instruction of the national committee canvassed the States of North Carolina and New York for Mr. Greeley and the national democratic ticket. He canvassed Indiana in 1876 and Maryland in 1S80 and 1884. He Is well known by the leaders of the democratic party in the country, and we are convinced that proper recoarnition given him by the present administration will be. fully appreoiaten by, the 45,000 colored voters in the State of Maryland.
