A Young Washlngtonlan Charged With Duping His Affianced In Chicago. About two years ago a young nan named Bayard Norv.l is said to bare left this city, where he is well connected, and started out to try his fortune in the city of world's fairs. In Chicago he accured employment and was thought to be doing well. At 280gden avenue, where Norval boarded, was also a young lady from Boston. Mis* Era B. Soekett, who was studying at the Conservatory of Music. Norval had given out that he was in the employ of Janes It Walker and his story was believed. According to the Chicago papers the young roan and Miss Soekett bocamo intimate and finally engaged. Tbo day was set for tho wed¬ ding and San Francisco settled upon for the wedding trip. A few weeks before the wed¬ ding day Norval. it is charged, succeeded in getting iOO twice from his affianced by a state¬ ment that there was a delay in receiving his salary. Juit before the wedding day, it is as¬ serted. he obtained another loau for the pur¬ pose of buying the tickets to San Francisco, the paymaster again having failed to turn up. From this time Norval disappeared for a week. Tho police were asked to drag the river for his body. The police, however, thought they would drag the city first, and about 4 o'clock discovered young Norval at a pool room and took him before a justice. Miss Eva was sent for and Norval calmly lufonned her that he wag very sorry, bnt he had put her money on the wrong horse and that also he had been dis¬ charged from Mr. Walker's. Miss Soekett at lirst refused to forgive the young man, but liually relented, and the prosecution was bto) ped. The engagement, however, is said to have been shattered beyond mending. An Insult to the President aud People. To tliA Kdilorof Ire Kvksiso Stab: I desire to call nttcntion to a very remark¬ able provision in tho present District bill up- proved August C. Under the head of charities provision is made for tho appointment by the l'residcnt of a commissioner of charities at a salary of 13,000 a year, but who, the act says, shall not be a resident of the Tiistnot. Inns- much as most of the charitable institutions of the District have been established by the vol¬ untary efforts of the citizens of the District, and as by far the larger portion of their sup¬ port is furnished by the voluntary contribu¬ tions of citizens, and as one-half of what Con¬ gress does appropriate for these institutions comes out of tlie tuxee of the citizens of the District, it would seem that th'e appointee should be a resident of the District. What outsider can bo supposed to have the knowl¬ edge of these various institutions, their rela¬ tive importance to tho community, their con¬ dition and needs, or which of theiu can best be consolidated that a resident wouid have? Sup¬ pose such a thing should be attempted iu ref¬ erence to New York, Philadelphia. Boston or Chicago by their respective state gov¬ ernments what would be thought of it? Then, too. why should not the President be at liberty to appoint a resident of the District in case he coulu lind one whom he thought best qualified for the position? Is it to be supposed that among the 230,000 inhab¬ itants no one can be found qualified for the position? Or, was it presumed that the Presi¬ dent would improperly use the authority if left free to select a person from the whole country, the District included? It would seem so. else why this provision limiting linn to a selection from outside of the District. It may have been to provide a place for some political or needy friend of some Senator, as the Dis¬ trict seems to be the final resort for such. If so. I sincerely hope the 1'resident will appoint some one of the able and experienced women of national reputation, whose names I know have been suggested to him. Whatever may have been the reason I cannot view it otherwise than as an iusult to tho 1'resi- dent and the people of the District August 30, 1S1W. ^ A Taxtaveb. Good Templars In Council.

Among the passengers of the Veondam, which sailed from Rotterdam August 16 and lauded at Hoboken last Wednesday, making the fastest record of tho Netherlands line, were sixteen members of the Alpine Club of Paris. Typical Frenchmen, ringed in tho parapher¬ nalia of the English tourist, offset by the rib¬ bon or buttou of the Academy of France, they Jolly party. "Is America alwavs like this.' they asked as they leisurelv sat on their taggage. dazed by the din of the'custom house ttQd tho babble of English tongues. The club will remain in New Vork several days, then set out for tho C anadian mountains, where the month of September will be passed in scientific observation and tho delights of outdoor life. The Alpine flub has been or¬ ganized fifteen years. The head bureau is at I aris. where it publishes a journal devoted to the clubs observations. There are branch societies in all the capitals of Europe This is their first visit to America, ilieir enthusiasm is unbounded, and it is their purpose to ascend all the mountain ranges of America Since the organization of i tlie club facilities for making mountain ascents have been greatly improved. The Paris branch numbers many scholars of distinction, together with mercantile men, who lind as much pleas¬ ure in the physical exertion as iu the scientific study.

Telegrams concerning the floods ic the Tyrol say that the flood area is much greater than it was in the disastrous floods of 18H8 and the damages have been immense, although as yet but two human lives have been lost. Bo far as is known all railroad travel through the afflicted district is stopped. Stone dams havo been broken down aud partially carriod away. Those people who still remain in tho neighborhood live in upper stories of their houses, while many have even been driven to the roofs. Help lias been asked and Is readily extended from every quarter in the shape of monev and cloth¬ ing. lhe mayor and council of the little vil¬ lage of Rogof telegraph that the reports con¬ cerning the destruction of that particular vil¬ lage have been somewhat exaggerated nnd their condition is not so alarming at present as is generally understood. It was hore that a peasant woman anil child were killed at the destruction of a bridge. The Washington and Cumberland. A dispatch from Baltimore to the New York TrUturw says: President Davis of the West Vir¬ ginia Central Railway Company and other capitalists interested in the new Washington and Cumberland railroad propose to begin the construction of the line as soon as possible, having been delayed awaiting the action of the courts in the receivership of the Chesapeake and Ghio canal along, which the compauv pro¬ pose to construct the new railroad. The close connection of the banking house of John A. Humble ton A Co. of Biltimore with the enter¬ prise and their loug-standing interest iu the Western Maryland make it probable that the Washington and Cumberland railroad will oiilv come down the canal to a point nbove tho 1 oint of uocks and then cross the country for a connection with the Western Marvland'rail- road. i he new road will be a strong rival of the laltimore aud Ohio ig the coal trade. _ Explorer Peters Decorated.

The Hone That Won the Futurity and 970,000 for August Belmont The race for the richest (take in the world, the Futurity of 1S90, was run at Sheepthead Bav^atnrdar. The promise of a cloee and ex¬ citing contest for over <70.00( is not an every day attraction on the racing program, and as the day was fair an enormous crowd was on the grounds to cheer the winner. Futurity day has heretofore attracted from 20.(>00 to 35,000 per¬ son* to the beautiful grounds of the Coney Island Jockey Clnb. Saturday there were fully 25,000 there. Potomac was a favorite from the start, open¬ ing at to 1 and closing at 2 to 1, while, of the others. Ambulance, Bey del Bey, Montana, Esperanza and Masher were the most fancied. Notwithstanding the fact that Bergen had the mount on Masher aud that the colt was reputed to be but a few pounds behind Potomac, the odds against him gradually lengthened, and at tbe close 20 to 1 could be had. Potomac, on the contrary, gradually receded in the market un¬ til at the close 2 to 1 was tbe best price the ring afforded. The following are the owners mul starters for the Futurity with the pools: G. B. Morris' Struthmenth, COO; J. A. A A. H. Morris' Aiubu- lance, #102; Labold Bros." Moneterey. #22; A. Belmont's Potomac, $110; W. I.. Scott's Amulet, £30; Santa Anita stable's Cleopatra, $2*; Ban- cocas stable's Kildecr, #22; A. Heltnont's Masher. #30; II. B. Durham s Longfortune, <25; T.

The New York Sun gives the following ac¬ count or tho racc: When tlm fifteen two-year- olds. eacji looking the picture of health, strength and speed, arrived ::t the starting point, which is plainly visible through the gap in the wood*, they nic quickly allotted their position". 'Nelly Biy drawing the outside place, while Montana is next the starter. The bovs are anxious to out-geueral each other, and there is no end of skirmishing to get tbe best of the start. Starter Caldwell implores the boys to follow his instructions and all will have an equal chance. Bey Del ltey is partic¬ ularly high strung, and bounds about, carrying Martin hither and thither at his will, the boy having absolutely no control over the big son of Norfolk and Marian Time after time they break in ragged lushion. first one and then the other having the advantage, and five minutes pays by. Uheu Strathmeath has a loose girth and Fitzpatrick gets down to fix it, and the 25,000 anxious spectators who are strain¬ ing their eyes three-quarters of a mile away heave a sign of relief. But a moment later and Fit/ is back in the saddle and every glass again is leveled at the starting point, where Mr. Caldwell is feeling very warm and uncomfortable. Prayers and threats are alike thrown away by hitu. and at the end of tun minutes the entire field arc spread all over the track, plunging and kicking tho dust until it raises in thick clouds which obscures the scene for a time. Finally all come down on almost oven terms and thunder past the starter, but just as he is about to raise th < flag Long For¬ tune and Nelly Biy arc pulled up. "They're off"' is the cry. but it is only a false alarm, and not afejr ot the plungers who havo a swell bet down begin to look anxious, aud those who have backed tho top weights are fearful that their money has been thrown away. At the end of twenty-five minutes, after the field has broken eleven times, the entire lot moves down abrcHSt like a regiment of cavalry on charge. Mr. Caldwell whisks his Hag through the air. shuuts "Go!'' fifteen jockeys cluck to their horses and they are off with the speed of an express trair lite crowd in the grand stand realize almost as soon as the jockeys them¬ selves that it is n s'art. and the hoarse cry, ' They're off!"' echoes aud re-echoes across the plain and is lost in Sheeps- heud bay. When Mr. Caldwell dropped his flag Nelly Biy, F.speranza. Betty Prnther. Long Fortuuo and Bussell were noso and nose, while Montana and Bey Del Bey were last, if it cau bo properly said that there was a last, as thero was not more than two lengths between the first and last horses when they bounded away from tho post. The earth fairly trembles beneath the thundering strides of the cavalcade as they tear down the slight incline aud run through tbe dip by the woods. Busscll. notwithstanding his crushing weight, is leading, his hooded head, shapely neck, and strong shoulders showing in front of Esperr.nza. who is but a head before Ambu¬ lant* in turn, a head before (.'leopatra. Strath* meath. Kildeer and Potomac. The bright jackets of the jockeys aro constantly chang¬ ing positions, and those in the grand stand aro wild with excitement, it being almost impossible to say which will pass the post in the van. Apparently a dozen have a chance to win. so close is the conflict. When they pass the half-mile pole, the Brighton Beach iilly, Nelly Biy. is half a length in the van, closely pursued by Potomac, who is now leav¬ ing the ruck with giant strides, followed by Montana, who has come through next to tbe rail, Strathmeath, Ambulance. Bussell, Masher and Amulet, tho most prominent of the others. "Baldwin's beaten," shouts an excited indi¬ vidual, as Barnes draws his whip aud goes to work on Ksperanza. who is fast losing ground. .'Belmont will win.there's nothing in it but Potomac," is the cry, as when well straightened out for home Hamiltou gives the big chestnut Ins head Mid he is on even terms with Nelly Biy in an instant. Two strides more aud he passes her as easily as tho Chicago limited would sail past a milk train, and a hoarse cheer arises from every part of the staud. In vain duos Garrison on Montana. Fitzpatrick on Strathmeath. I.amblcy on Nelly Biy uui Lit- tlefield on Ambulance whip and spur. Potomac is invincible, ar.d drawing away at every stride Hamilton win* the prize for Mr. Belmont with ridiculous ease. Potomac galloping under the finishing line three lengths in front of the field. When opposite the lower end of the grand stand it looked as though Strathmeath would be second, but suddenly a bay colt, whose jockey had lost his cap shoots from the ruck aud mows down ins horses with almost as great a flight of speed as Potomac showed, and before the public could realize it Masher (for it was the second string to Mr. Belmont's bow. with Bergen up) is at Striftbnicath s tnddle. Fitzpatrick endeavors to rally the tired Strathmeath. lie rides as only the dare-devil can ride, with teeth clenched, and miug whip and spur he tries to force the gelding home in second place. Bergen..how- evor. has a marked advantage, as Masher is carrying 16 pounds less weight than his oppo¬ nent, «tud whe u the finishing liuo is rcachcd Mr. Belmont lias run first and second iu the richest stake of the year, Masher securing the place by a short tuck. tin the outside of tho track a no less furious battle is being contested. Bey Del Bey having run very strong and fast from the last furlong and nailed Montana. But it is a duel between Oarridon and Martin, mid Martin has to succumb. Montana beating the California!! out a short head. Then comes Nelly Biy. Am¬ bulance. Kildeer. Amulet Ksperanza. Bussell. Cleopatra. Long Fortune, Betty Prattler and Monterey in the order named. The w inner is a chestnut colt, sixteen hands high, by St. Blaise, out of Susquehanna. He has a few grhy hairs in the flank and quarter aud three of his legs are white. He is strongly made, but is remarkable for the development of his quarters, winch would do credit to any three-year-old Masher I* a solid bay, 15.3 hands high, and is a businesslike looking fellow that will more than pay his way in the future. To the San reporter Mr. Belmout said: "I knew Potomac was a good colt and thought that ho Would win, but it was indeed a sur¬ prise to run first aud secoud for the Futurity, ilamiltou rode a good race and so did Bergen." The race was worth to Mr. Belmont, in round numbers, about $05,000, and it was certainly well worth his remaining on the turf to win.

A BROKEN ENGAGEMENT.A Young Washlngtonlan Charged With

Duping His Affianced In Chicago.About two years ago a young nan named

Bayard Norv.l is said to bare left this city,where he is well connected, and started out totry his fortune in the city of world's fairs. InChicago he accured employment and wasthought to be doing well. At 280gden avenue,where Norval boarded, was also a young ladyfrom Boston. Mis* Era B. Soekett, who wasstudying at the Conservatory of Music. Norvalhad given out that he was in the employ ofJanes It Walker and his story was believed.According to the Chicago papers the youngroan and Miss Soekett bocamo intimate andfinally engaged. Tbo day was set for tho wed¬ding and San Francisco settled upon for thewedding trip. A few weeks before the wed¬ding day Norval. it is charged, succeeded ingetting iOO twice from his affianced by a state¬ment that there was a delay in receiving hissalary. Juit before the wedding day, it is as¬serted. he obtained another loau for the pur¬pose of buying the tickets to San Francisco,the paymaster again having failed to turn up.From this time Norval disappeared for a week.Tho police were asked to drag the river for hisbody. The police, however, thought theywould drag the city first, and about 4 o'clockdiscovered young Norval at a pool room andtook him before a justice. Miss Eva was sentfor and Norval calmly lufonned her that hewag very sorry, bnt he had put her money onthe wrong horse and that also he had been dis¬charged from Mr. Walker's. Miss Soekett atlirst refused to forgive the young man, butliually relented, and the prosecution wasbto) ped. The engagement, however, is said tohave been shattered beyond mending.An Insult to the President aud People.To tliA Kdilorof Ire Kvksiso Stab:

I desire to call nttcntion to a very remark¬able provision in tho present District bill up-proved August C. Under the head of charitiesprovision is made for tho appointment by thel'residcnt of a commissioner of charities at a

salary of 13,000 a year, but who, the act says,shall not be a resident of the Tiistnot. Inns-much as most of the charitable institutions ofthe District have been established by the vol¬untary efforts of the citizens of the District,and as by far the larger portion of their sup¬port is furnished by the voluntary contribu¬tions of citizens, and as one-half of what Con¬gress does appropriate for these institutionscomes out of tlie tuxee of the citizens of theDistrict, it would seem that th'e appointeeshould be a resident of the District. Whatoutsider can bo supposed to have the knowl¬edge of these various institutions, their rela¬tive importance to tho community, their con¬dition and needs, or which of theiu can best beconsolidated that a resident wouid have? Sup¬pose such a thing should be attempted iu ref¬erence to New York, Philadelphia. Boston orChicago by their respective state gov¬ernments what would be thought ofit? Then, too. why should not thePresident be at liberty to appoint a residentof the District in case he coulu lind one whomhe thought best qualified for the position? Isit to be supposed that among the 230,000 inhab¬itants no one can be found qualified for theposition? Or, was it presumed that the Presi¬dent would improperly use the authority ifleft free to select a person from the wholecountry, the District included? It would seemso. else why this provision limiting linn to aselection from outside of the District. It mayhave been to provide a place for some politicalor needy friend of some Senator, as the Dis¬trict seems to be the final resort for such. Ifso. I sincerely hope the 1'resident will appointsome one of the able and experienced womenof national reputation, whose names I knowhave been suggested to him.Whatever may have been the reason I cannot

view it otherwise than as an iusult to tho 1'resi-dent and the people of the DistrictAugust 30, 1S1W.

The Washington and Cumberland.A dispatch from Baltimore to the New York

TrUturw says: President Davis of the West Vir¬ginia Central Railway Company and othercapitalists interested in the new Washingtonand Cumberland railroad propose to begin theconstruction of the line as soon as possible,having been delayed awaiting the action of thecourts in the receivership of the Chesapeakeand Ghio canal along, which the compauv pro¬pose to construct the new railroad. The closeconnection of the banking house of John A.Humbleton A Co. of Biltimore with the enter¬prise and their loug-standing interest iu theWestern Maryland make it probable that theWashington and Cumberland railroad will oiilvcome down the canal to a point nbove tho1 oint of uocks and then cross the country fora connection with the Western Marvland'rail-road. i he new road will be a strong rival ofthe laltimore aud Ohio ig the coal trade.

Futurity day hasheretofore attracted from 20.(>00 to 35,000 per¬son* to the beautiful grounds of the ConeyIsland Jockey Clnb. Saturday there were fully25,000 there.Potomac was a favorite from the start, open¬

ing at to 1 and closing at 2 to 1, while, ofthe others. Ambulance, Bey del Bey, Montana,Esperanza and Masher were the most fancied.Notwithstanding the fact that Bergen had themount on Masher aud that the colt was reputedto be but a few pounds behind Potomac,the oddsagainst him gradually lengthened, and at tbeclose 20 to 1 could be had. Potomac, on thecontrary, gradually receded in the market un¬til at the close 2 to 1 was tbe best price the ringafforded.The following are the owners mul starters for

the Futurity with the pools: G. B. Morris'Struthmenth, COO; J. A. A A. H. Morris' Aiubu-lance, #102; Labold Bros." Moneterey. #22; A.Belmont's Potomac, $110; W. I.. Scott's Amulet,£30; Santa Anita stable's Cleopatra, $2*; Ban-cocas stable's Kildecr, #22; A. Heltnont'sMasher. #30; II. B. Durham s Longfortune,<25; T. Winter's Bey del Bey. #140; M. Daly'sMontana, #100; Gray A Co.'s Betty Prnther,812; Santa Anita stable's Lxperanza. 5100; G.B. Morns' Busscll. #10; Baldwin's Nellie Biy,#15.The New York Sun gives the following ac¬

count or tho racc: When tlm fifteen two-year-olds. eacji looking the picture of health,strength and speed, arrived ::t the startingpoint, which is plainly visible through the gapin the wood*, they nic quickly allotted theirposition". 'Nelly Biy drawing the outsideplace, while Montana is next the starter. Thebovs are anxious to out-geueral each other,and there is no end of skirmishing to get tbebest of the start. Starter Caldwell imploresthe boys to follow his instructions and all willhave an equal chance. Bey Del ltey is partic¬ularly high strung, and bounds about, carryingMartin hither and thither at his will, the boyhaving absolutely no control over the big sonof Norfolk and Marian Time after time theybreak in ragged lushion. first one and then theother having the advantage, and five minutespays by. Uheu Strathmeath has a loose girthand Fitzpatrick gets down to fix it, and the25,000 anxious spectators who are strain¬ing their eyes three-quarters of a mileaway heave a sign of relief. But a momentlater and Fit/ is back in the saddle and everyglass again is leveled at the starting point,where Mr. Caldwell is feeling very warm anduncomfortable. Prayers and threats are alikethrown away by hitu. and at the end of tunminutes the entire field arc spread all over thetrack, plunging and kicking tho dust until itraises in thick clouds which obscures the scenefor a time. Finally all come down on almostoven terms and thunder past the starter, butjust as he is about to raise th < flag Long For¬tune and Nelly Biy arc pulled up. "They'reoff"' is the cry. but it is only a false alarm, andnot afejr ot the plungers who havo a swell betdown begin to look anxious, aud those whohave backed tho top weights are fearful thattheir money has been thrown away. At theend of twenty-five minutes, after the field hasbroken eleven times, the entire lot moves downabrcHSt like a regiment of cavalry on charge.Mr. Caldwell whisks his Hag through the air.shuuts "Go!'' fifteen jockeys cluck to theirhorses and they are off with the speed of anexpress trair lite crowd in the grand standrealize almost as soon as the jockeys them¬selves that it is n s'art. and the hoarse cry,' They're off!"' echoes aud re-echoesacross the plain and is lost in Sheeps-heud bay. When Mr. Caldwell droppedhis flag Nelly Biy, F.speranza. BettyPrnther. Long Fortuuo and Bussell were nosoand nose, while Montana and Bey Del Beywere last, if it cau bo properly said that therewas a last, as thero was not more than twolengths between the first and last horses whenthey bounded away from tho post. The earthfairly trembles beneath the thundering stridesof the cavalcade as they tear down the slightincline aud run through tbe dip by the woods.Busscll. notwithstanding his crushing weight,is leading, his hooded head, shapely neck,and strong shoulders showing in front ofEsperr.nza. who is but a head before Ambu¬lant* in turn, a head before (.'leopatra. Strath*meath. Kildeer and Potomac. The brightjackets of the jockeys aro constantly chang¬ing positions, and those in the grand standaro wild with excitement, it being almostimpossible to say which will pass the post inthe van. Apparently a dozen have a chanceto win. so close is the conflict. When theypass the half-mile pole, the Brighton Beachiilly, Nelly Biy. is half a length in the van,closely pursued by Potomac, who is now leav¬ing the ruck with giant strides, followed byMontana, who has come through next to tberail, Strathmeath, Ambulance. Bussell, Masherand Amulet, tho most prominent of the others."Baldwin's beaten," shouts an excited indi¬vidual, as Barnes draws his whip aud goes towork on Ksperanza. who is fast losing ground..'Belmont will win.there's nothing in it butPotomac," is the cry, as when well straightenedout for home Hamiltou gives the big chestnutIns head Mid he is on even terms with NellyBiy in an instant. Two strides more aud hepasses her as easily as tho Chicago limitedwould sail past a milk train, and a hoarse cheerarises from every part of the staud. In vainduos Garrison on Montana. Fitzpatrick onStrathmeath. I.amblcy on Nelly Biy uui Lit-tlefield on Ambulance whip and spur. Potomacis invincible, ar.d drawing away at every strideHamilton win* the prize for Mr. Belmont withridiculous ease. Potomac galloping underthe finishing line three lengths in front ofthe field. When opposite the lower endof the grand stand it looked as thoughStrathmeath would be second, but suddenlya bay colt, whose jockey had lost hiscap shoots from the ruck aud mows down inshorses with almost as great a flight of speed asPotomac showed, and before the public couldrealize it Masher (for it was the second stringto Mr. Belmont's bow. with Bergen up) is atStriftbnicath s tnddle. Fitzpatrick endeavorsto rally the tired Strathmeath. lie rides as onlythe dare-devil can ride, with teeth clenched,and miug whip and spur he tries to force thegelding home in second place. Bergen..how-evor. has a marked advantage, as Masher iscarrying 16 pounds less weight than his oppo¬nent, «tud whe u the finishing liuo is rcachcdMr. Belmont lias run first and second iu therichest stake of the year, Masher securing theplace by a short tuck.

tin the outside of tho track a no less furiousbattle is being contested. Bey Del Beyhaving run very strong and fast from the lastfurlong and nailed Montana. But it is a duelbetween Oarridon and Martin, mid Martin hasto succumb. Montana beating the California!!out a short head. Then comes Nelly Biy. Am¬bulance. Kildeer. Amulet Ksperanza. Bussell.Cleopatra. Long Fortune, Betty Prattler andMonterey in the order named.The w inner is a chestnut colt, sixteen hands

high, by St. Blaise, out of Susquehanna. Hehas a few grhy hairs in the flank and quarteraud three of his legs are white. He is stronglymade, but is remarkable for the developmentof his quarters, winch would do credit to anythree-year-old Masher I* a solid bay, 15.3hands high, and is a businesslike looking fellowthat will more than pay his way in the future.To the San reporter Mr. Belmout said: "Iknew Potomac was a good colt and thoughtthat ho Would win, but it was indeed a sur¬prise to run first aud secoud for the Futurity,ilamiltou rode a good race and so did Bergen."The race was worth to Mr. Belmont, in roundnumbers, about $05,000, and it was certainlywell worth his remaining on the turf to win.
