Despite the unpleasant weather, the brave
soldier boys are enjoying themselves at
Washington. Everybody was glad to see
them and showed it. The city was wide
open yesterday, and anything and every
thing conld be purchased at a price. The
wife of the Vice President-elect presented
a stand of colors to the Second Begiment,
X. 6. P. Prom the list of visitors at
Washington, Pittsbnrg and Allegheny
must be almost deserted to-day.
rFEOJI A ETATP COEKESPONDEXT.l
"Washington, March 3. Flags drooped
damply from their staffs and discolored
banting hung with moist limpness against
wet walls. All day long the clouds poured
or drizzled, and as the hours progressed and
there was no sign of a break in the leaden
bued and dripping skies, the multitude of
people began to come out and throng the
streets. Arriving trains poured in other
crowds, and the Second Bricade of the Penn
sylvania National Guard added 2,954 boys
in blue to the other Pennsylvania regiments
that had arrived from the eastern and cen
tral parts of the State between yesterday
afternoon and this morning. The Americus
Club from Pittsburg added 150 to the num-
fm in Battery B.
ber, and other Western Pcnnsylvanians scat
tered themselves all over the city. "Various
parties arrived in special cars, and others
came with the general public.
Inaugural days, like necessity, know no
laws, and the present inauguration season is
no exception to the rule. The saloons have
been wide open since yesterday. Ho pre
tense has been made of closing the doors on
anything but the weather. Every hotel has
been thronged all day long, and bars that
have no hotel attachment have been well
patronized.
Many stores were also open all day for
the accommodation of the public who
wanted collars, neckties, etc., and the log
cabin and portrait fakirs did a flourishing
business in peddling their wares. Street
stands for the sale of sandwiches and light
beverages were open where they were
sheltered from the rain, and on the streets
and in hotels people paid money for um
brellas which it would be a privilege at
other times to lose.
SPIRITS KEPT UP AND TUT DOTTN.
The thousands of people who came here
felt it necessary to do something to keep out
the wet and keep up their spirits, and they
did it very largely by pouring in other
spirits, .me minor ineaters are in lull
blast, and there is very little anywhere to
remind anyone that this is a day usually de
voted to rest and worship.
Various political organizations are arriv
ing to-night, and filling the streets with
music, cheering and torches, The arrival
of the "Union Clnb, of Philadelphia, 150
strong, with snch men as Disston and .Leeds
in its ranks, created more excitement at the
Biggs House than did the arrival of Gov
ernor Beaver, when he came here to estab
lish his headquarters.
The Biggs House, at which the Governor
and other Pennsylvania officials are located,
is general headquarters for the State, and
all Pennsylvanians find their way to it at
some period or other of the 24 hours. Gen
eral Hartranft has his headquarters there,
and General "Wiley to-day established the
headquarters of the Second Brigade at the
same place.
NOT ALL WELL LOCATED.
Begimental headquarters of the Second
Brigade are at the various places mentioned
headquarters are very pleasantly located on
Seventeenth street, in two adjoining build
ings. The quarters of the Fourteenth Begi
mentareinthecorridorsof the Postoffice De
partment while the Tenth and Fifteenth
Begiments are less pleasant. The mattresses
block up the passageways and the atmos
phere is decidedly bad,
A pleasant incident occurred as the Eigh
teenth Begiment, formerly commanded by
ex-Adjutant General Guthrie, passed the
Biggs House on its way from the depot to
headquarters. General Guthrie stood on
the steps, and as the command moved past,
gave a military salute with his umbrella.
Colonel Smith saluted in return, with his
sword, and the regimental colors were
dipped in honor of the old commander.
The troops that arrived this morning and
during the forenoon fared much better in
one respect than did those who arrived yes
terday and last night. These latter were put
ofl the train on the outskirts of the citv, and
had a inarch of between four and five" miles
through mud and rain to their quarters.
AN IMPEOVEMENT MADE.
Genetal Hartranft made different arrange
ments to-day, but not until the Ninth Penn
sylvanians had filed a vigorons kick. They
arrived very early, and flatly refused to
leave the train at the suburbs.
"These cars are going back to Jersey
City," they were told.
"All right," responded Colonel Keck,
"we will go with them."
But the cars did not leave for Jersey City
until the gallant Colonel and his men had
been delivered several miles nearer their
quarters.
Military uniforms dot the streets every
where this evening, and the Keystones on
hats and sleeves betoken the preponderance
of Pennsylvania soldicis, who are here 8,100
strong, just 200 short of the strength of the
whole National Guard. Second Brigade
headquarters arrived at 8 A. M. - Battery B
f.The conunaading oficerViaade the follow-
ing reports as Ihey arrived: Fifth Begi
ment, 33 officers and 380 men; Eighteenth
Begiment, 36 officers and 518 men; Fifteenth
Begiment,30 officers and 399 men; Sixteenth
Begiment, 29 officers and S96 men; Tenth
Begiment, 31 officers and 433 men; Four
teenth Begiment, 35 officers and 445 men;
Battery B, 4 officers and 76 men; the Sheri
dan troop from Tyrone, 3 officers and 54
men.
BATTEET B'S GOOD TIME.
Battery B has for its guest to-day Major
Markham, a Canadian cavalry officer from
New Brunswick. The officers escorted him
to the various headquarters, and made
things pleasant for him. A portion of the
privates of the battery amused themselves
this; afternoon by taking a half dozen young,
sters of the African persuasion into camp
and having them dance. The battery brought
with it a full corns of cooks and waiters,
and is living high in a vacant building of
the Independent Ice Company, at the Ninth
street wharf.
The Americus Clnb is living on its train
of seven special cars, which arrived over
the B. & O. this morning, after making a
remarKably quick trip. The Manufacturers'
Club, of Philadelphia, which rented a build
ing here for a clubhouse and is sleeping in
A Street Scene.
Pullmans, doesn't get along well. Some
members come in early and rise early.
Others come in late and rise late. Each
disturbs the other, and, to add to their mis
ery, their chief cook is a failure. "With the
Americus Club it is different.
FBOM THE STATE OF ALLEGHENY.
Other Pittsbnrgers came in special cars,
among them the Lincoln Club, ofLawrence
ville, 100 strong; a party for whom Percy
F. Smith had made special arrangements,
he being prevented from joining them at
the last moment; the Harrison and Morton
Club, of Homestead, with the Harrison
Club, ofUniontown, and a delegation from
"Washington, Pa.
The Baltimore and Ohio people are feel
ing very proud over the fact that all their
trains came m on time, xney also maae
elaborate preparations for the safety of the
public, having one section man out on con
stant duty for each of the 150 miles between
Pittsburg and Cumberland to see that
evervthincr was all neht with the tracks.

A STAND OP COLOES.
One of the pleasant occurrences of the day
was a special military service at the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church at 4
p. M., at which Mrs. 'Levi P. Morton pre
sented a stand of silk colors to the Second
Begiment, N. G. P., which comes from
Philadelphia and is commanded by the
nanasome uoionei Jjecnert, the .Demo
cratic Controller of the city. The
Vice President-elect and Mrs. Mor
ton, Bussell Harrison and wife
and Mr. and Mrs. McKee occupied front
pews, facing the pew occupied by Gov
ernor Beaver- and Adjutant General
Hastings. The regiment filled the body of
the church. Its chaplain, Bev. Henry C.
McCook, referred touchingly in his sermon
to the late General Sheridan, and prayed
for blessings on the incoming and outgoing
Presidents. He also prayed for Governor
Beaver and General Hartranft. The pre
sentation speech was made by the Vice
President-elect on behalf of Mrs. Morton,
and Colonel Dcchert, responding, said if
it was necessary to defend the flag, the best
blood of the regiment would be poured out
in its defense.
The colors come to the Second Begiment,
N. G. P., for the reason that it occupies the
right of the line in the Pennsylvania mili
tary division of to-morrow's parade. Colonel
Dechert made a remarkably favorable im
pression on theladies and gentlemen of the
incoming administration, and they made
much ofhim. It is worthy of note that the
Colonel was introduced to Mrs. Cleveland
as the handsomest man in the National
Guard of Pennsylvania, and was a favorite
at the White House, where, as a good Demo
crat, he frequently called. There are a
number of Democratic officers in the guard,
and they all act as if they were enjoying
themselves. Simpson.
TEI-STAT&BEEYIT1ES.
John Elliott, aged 14 years, son of Taylor
Klliott, of New Alexandria, was struck and
killed by a passing freight train on the Pan
handle road near Gould's tunnel, yesterday.
The gorge in the Beaver river, between New
Brighton and Bridgewater, is unbroken, and
the arrival of a heavy flow of ice from the pool
above Beaver Falls has so swelled the icy mass
that when it moves property Is sure to be dam
aged. THE Fifth ward public school building at
Bcllaire was burned yesterday. The Are was
caused by a heavy pressure of natural gas com
ing on during the night.4 The building is a
complete wreck. Loss 15.000, including furni
ture; partly insured.
At Little Washington, early last week, no
tices were posted at houses Nos. 1 and 2, Hazel
Glass Works, that the works would close in
definitely on the 22d instant. Saturday the
notice at No. 1 was taken down and replaced by
another stating that the establishment would
be running to-day as usual.

Avenue Presbyterian Church, and Mrs.
Morton presented the flag after the Vice
President-elect had made a happy little
speech ofcongratulation.
Mr. Morton is one of the delighted ones!
at the selection of General Traoy as the'
.new xorK member of the Cabinet, un
says it will cement the party in the State
and all breaches are closed by it. He thinkj
that all Republicans should be happy over
the event. While Mr. Morton and others ap
parently feel that all is well, there are prom
inent men here who believe that when the
time comes for handing around the patrojn
age, the millenial here will change to a
blaze of truly Bepublican discord. There
will be a volcano, they say, with plenty of
rocks in it A floral easy chair, six feet
high, was presented to Mr. Morton to-night
bv his friend Joseph P. Evan, of the Lin
coln Clnb. The chair is a counterpart of
tne one jut. .Morton-win occupy as jfresiaent

A NINETY DAT CABINET.
So It Is Dnbbed by a Kicker Who Halls
from the Empire State.
The New Yorkers who have come to
town, as Warner Miller says he
came to see the fun, and not tof look
for anything, are a very numerous and
a very contented lot. They did
not even come here to look for news, but
some of them cannot help picking up infor
mation whether they want to or not. One
of this class lounged around the
corridors of the Arlington to-night sodding
recognition right and left to men from all
parts of the country. Ho seemed listless
and uninterested, for very much like a
fish out of water is a New Yorker
of his class outside of New York. The
question, "What's the news?" roused him,
and he fell to talking. .
"The principal thing is fault finding," he
said, "though that is hardly new. But
there is a new phase of it develop
ing. The social strength of the Cabinet is
now being discussed. Those interested in
the success of President Harrison's admin
istration are asking "Who will perform for
him the valuable social services that Secre
taries Bavard and Whitney did so well for
Cleveland." The Blaines could do
their share of it, and do it well, but Mr.
Blaine's health and disposition are neither
of them in accord with such work at pres
ent. No one else has either the fortune or
the standing to be of any assistance in
this matter. Look over the list
all weak socially, and distressingly
so. The result will be that
the social burdens of the administration
will fall upon Mr. and Mrs. Morton, who
are very capable of discharging the duties
of even so onerous a position The
effect will be to add to the
power, influence and prestige of
the Vice President. He will occupy a po
sition far beyond that of any of his pre
decessors in these directions.
"What have you learned about the Cabi
net that is political and not social?"
"They tell me that it is a 90
day Cabinet, made up for the pur
pose of freezing out Blaine. He was
not consulted as to its composition. No
communications passed between him and
General Harrison after the invitation
to him to take the Secretaryship
of State. After the General reached
Washington Mr. Blaine's advice was not
asked for in a single particular. Proctor's
appointment was secured by Senator
Edmunds, and he was put there as a watch
on Blaine."
FUMY FEATURES OF THE SHOW.
Pcnco Striking at a Coon Portraits Painted
on a Sheep.
A great many of the sprawling wooden
stands that coyer the public squares of Penn
sylvania avenue are built around statues.
In some instances the combination of statue
arid stand produces remarkable results.
In the case of the Bawlins statue, the
half acre of raw pine is exactly on a level
with the foot of the statue, so that the brave
hero in bronze appears to have 925 kitchen
chairs from which to select a seat. Just
above on the avenue there is another of
these slanting hills of lumber, upon which
a huge stalk appears to have lighted. A
week ago that stalk was the capital orna
ment of a big drinking fountain.
In front of the Capitol is one of the very
biggest of these colossal tiers of rough lum
ber benches. It is bnilt around the famous
Peace monument The Peace monument
consists of the figures of two sorrow
stricken women in Grecian robes,
one weeping on the shoulder of
the other, while below this group is
the figure of Peace offering her laurels to the
great North American public The local
committee has put up a large log cabin as
as an ornament in the middle of this huge
stand, and on the log cabin is a stuffed rac
coon. It happens that the figure of Peace
is now leaning over and watching that coon
with a smile, while in her upraised hand
she holds a 50-pound bronze laurel wreath
with which she is evidently going to lay the
animal out.
A feature that attracts uncommon atten
tion is a dressed sheep hanging in front of
a butcher's shop. On the back of the car
cas some Michael Angelo of the chopping
block has scored the .portraits of Harrison
and Morton with extraordinary fidelity, and
yet apparently in the simple way in which
butchers ornament mutton with their sharp
knives.
PBEPABlNG FOE A CLEAN SWEEP.
Two Mammoth Brooms on Band to Use
Where Needed.
Campaign trophies and similar gifts have
generally been left unopened since the Har
rison party arrived here, but two new em
blems of victory were displayed in the
room of Private Secretary Halford to-day.
Both were brooms. The first one set up
was like an ordinary broom, except that it
was about twice as large and had ribbons
tied upon it. It was made of the choicest
broomcorn, and was considerable of a
broom, but a letter had been received speak
ing very largely of another broom, shipped
here from Omaha, Neb., and the private
secretary ordered it up.
Doorkeeper Dinsmore found it boxed up
down cellar at the Arlington, and, unpack
ing it, carried it up to the office. It made
the other big broom look like a dwarf. It
was eight feet long, with a handle two inches
thick, wrapped spirally with red and white
ribbons.. The broomcorn in it was over two
feet long, and was painted green. The
upper part was covered with embroidered
plush, the design including the legend: "A
Clean Sweep."
THE FUNNIEST THING OF ALL.
Plnmmer Wasn't Exactly Invited to Indian
npolls for the Cabinet.
"What is the funniest thing you have
heard since you got here?". This question
to-day excited a New York Bepublican to
great merriment. After giving the assur
ance that he was talking solid facts, he
answered:
"The funniest thinjris in reference to Gen
eral Harrison's invitation to John F.
Plummer to visit Indianapolis. Plummer
sent word to the Tresident-elect
that he wished him to wear
an inaugural suit of American
spun cloth, and the General invited him to
Indianapolis on the supposition that he
was- a tailor, and would like to take his
measure for the suit of clothes."

EIGHT INDIANS KILLED.
A Olad Brave With a Winchester Hlfle on
a Tear.
Jacksonville, Fla., March 3. News
has just been received here from Okeechobee
of a bloody affray among the Seminole In
dians in the Everglades. "Jim," a young
buck, went crazy, and with a Winchester
rifle started out on the warpath
through the camp and settlement. He first
sent a ball through the brain of "Waukee
Micco," chief of the Miamis, killing
him instantly. He next killed "Old
Tiger." "Young Tiger," a son of
"Old Tiger," aud probably the finest
Seminole living physically stepped out of
his wigwam just in time to see his father
drop to the ground a corpse, and with a
bloodcurdling war whoop he sprang on
the maniac and a hand-to-hand fietit for the
possession of the rifle followed.
Tiger was the superior in strength, but
was at the wrong end of the gun and before
he could wrest it from his antagonist he
was shot dead. The maniac then
killed two papooses of his sister
and attacked bucks, squaws andchildren in
discriminately. He was finally cornered
and shot dead by "Billy," another Seminole
brave. In less -than half an hour eight In
dians were killed.
