EVENING STAR.
LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
The Evcbstbias Cojgkiss.?Coming,
coming, corns to town, is the great Railroad
Circus, with maaio and banners, and armoured
knights, and gymnasts. pantomimista. bardie
rac?r* and clown', and all that vast array of
resources which has made the Circus enter
tainment of Messrs. Spaldicg A Rogers so
famous
Another candidate tor equestrian suprema
cy, (and the greatest of all, if the world's esti
mate is reliable) James Hernandes, is entered
foi the price at the circus tournament. Her
nandes left America three years ago, beyond
comparison the best rider then here, and
during his absence, he has far eclipsed every
thing in England, France, and the Continent
generally. On bis return, young Hernandes.
loaded with the laurels of bis European cam
paign, finds his claims for supremacy ques
tioned by young Robinson who has matured
during his visit abroad There is no dispute
amongst the profession that Hernandes and
Kobinson. the two competitor* in horseman
ship now here, are the best two eauestrians in
the world, and the strife cannot tail to be in
teresting
Washington is thronged with equestrians,
gymnasts, clowns, and musicians who make
pretensions to superiority in their respective
departments, and the throng naturally in
cludes the very best only, since ordinary skill
could scarcely hope to succeed The unusual
spectacle of the living champions of every
branch of the circus collected in one ring, will
probably never again be presented in this
city
OnD Fbllow's Fusebal ?There was a
large tarn out of Odd Fellows, yesterday, on
the oocaiion of the funeral of Richard G.
Purdy. Columbia Lodge, together with mem
bers of the Grand Lodge and of the Encamp
ment. followed the remains of their deceased
brother to (ilenwood Cemetery. The proces
sion was marshaled by Mr Win H. Nalley,
and was preceded by Esputa'a full band
Tne funeral sermon was bj Rev Mr Samsor,
and the Chaplain, Mr W. (J. Bond, read the
solemn ritual at the vault. Mr Anthony
Buchly. the undertaker, deserves especial
credit for the perfection of the funeral ar
rangements.
The hearse used on this occasion was en
tirely new, from Mr Buchlj's establishment,
and demonstrated what our Washington me
chanics are capable of turning out in the way
of good and tasty workmanship.
P P. P.?We are particularly requested to
call attention to the advertisement headed
P. P. P., to be found under the head of
Wants." A gentleman frequently visits
Washington, and will do so on Tnursdav next,
April 10th. to buy anything the inhabitants
have to sell, giving a fair price for the same.
He especially purchases old books, standard,
miscellaneous, law, medical, curious, Ac , by
tho volume or library; and for some scarce
works he offers a high price. AH having old
book* littering about their houses, perhaps
unused or not looked at for years, and often
considered as useless lumber, may dispose of
them to advantage by addressing as adver
tisement directs.
National Theatre?The fair beneficiary
Miss Agnes Robertson, bad a fine benefit on
> iturday night, and the performances went
off handsomely, albett they were gone through
with for the most part by candle-light. The
gas took its time to go out in the midst of
Bourcicault's highly finished personation of
Sir Charles Coldstream in 4,l sed Up," but
B'->urcicault, with ready wi?, availed him9elf of
the accident to make a hit or two which brought
down the house., and so carried of the farce
with eclat.
Next week, the enterprising management of
the National, will afford the citizens of Wash
ington an opportunity of seeing and hearing
the celebrated Pyne A Harrison, English Opera
Troupe. ??
Arrivals ?Rev. Daniel E. Reese and Rev.
A Cookman were in this city yesterday Mr.
Reese was formeriy the pastor of the Metho
dist Protestant church on Ninth street, and is
very popular among his sect. He is now sta
tioned at Charleston, S. C , but is suffering
from an affection of the throat that prevents
his preaching at present. Mr. Cookman is a
son of Rev (*. G. Cookman. who was lost in
the steamer President seme years ago. He is
intimately acquainted in Washington, and his
friends were glad to see him in the pulpit
formerly occupied by his father. Mr Cook
man preached yesterday at the Wesley Cha
and among other distinguished hearers
there congregated we noticed President Picrce.
Free Fight?Man Fight, I>og Fight?We
might say dog fight only ; but as they all
came off about the same time, near Critten
den's brick yard, yesterday, the Sabbath af
ternoon, we bad as well mention all. The
dog fight occurred first; then came the man
fight, and an offer to 4> lick any man in the
crowd for twenty-five cents," which produced
the free fight. We are told that it is a neigh
borhood that might be visited occasionally by
the police. None of the gang were arrested,
though the brown jug bad assisted greatly to
make a general arrest easy.
Accidi.it,?On Saturday, Mr. Lewis, a
huckster in the Centre Market, was severely
injured by the starting of his horse He had
been feeding the horse, and had taken off the
bridle to allow him to eat. The horse sud
denly started, and Mr Lewis clung to hia
mane and was dragged iu that position from
the market space over Seventh street bridge
Mr Lewis was picked up by some persons
near by and taken to a house near the canal.
His bead was badly cut, and the physician
states that he was injured internally.
Sisgfsg Classes.?We would call attention
to the advertisement in another column of
Mr. William Palmer, who proposes establish
ing singing clashes in a more effective manner
than has hitherto been practised. Mr Palmer
is too well and favorably known in our com
munity to need any recommendation at our
bands, but we will aidd that we think his plan
of dividing his pupils into small classes?as
snpran", meno soprani, and contralto voices,
a very judicious one.
Alabns or Fiiib ?Saturday night the com
panies were called out by a false alarm of fire,
out tbev speedily returned with their appa
ratus Last night another false alarm was
given, which dia not end so quietly. A colli
sion occurred between members of twocompa
panies on the Avenue near Twelfth street.
It was rather unfortunate that the Auxiliary
Guard were answering to their roll-call when
the difficulty occurred.
Ixdecbnt Cosdcct ?Yesterday, a crowd of
rowdies were traveling about in the Smithso
nian grounds, behaving very improperly, and
using profane and indccent language when
ladies were near cnoujh to hear their re
marks. If such person* cannot behave them
selves properly tney should be cast out of all
public places.
Trijitt Fair at ODn Fellows' Hall con
tinues open, it will be seen, only to night and
to-morrow night This fair justly deserves
the liberal patronsgs it has received both for
the praiseworthy object in view by the ladios
wLo get it up, and on account of the variety
and beauty of the articles offered for sale.
A DisprTB Settled ?Yesterday, Captain
Birch was *?nt for to settle a diffi -ulty between
two families of respectable colored persons.
The Captain beard their statements, and held
all hands to security for peace, aud they left
uij oftl.-e highly pleased with his decision.
Gas Light* ?The lights at the hotels, on
the streets, and in several churches, expired
rather suddenly last night without notice hav
ing been given to supply candles. This has
occurred two or three nights in succession.
Makkbt Tbievbs ?Persons who employ
other* to carry their baskets when filled,
should be careful to employ those who are
kn>waiethem. Several baskets hare been
robbed, ani others taken with their entire

ening families in the Seventh Ward, and for
disturbing the peace in the vicinity.

the grounds of the Smithsonian building the

I ADVERTISEMENT.
Gas ! Yes all Gas !?The idea that all the
consumers of that articlc that have been com
pelled, night after night, to close their places
of business, thereby incurring beavy losses
and debarred the pleasure on their arrival at
their residences of a well lit fireside, believe
the representations of some of tbe employees
of the "Gas Company," that the present de
ranged state of the ?*gas" was solely attrib
utable to the action of the frost upon the coal?
this one reason, as assumed, spread before the
world would not speak volumes in favor of the
daneness of Washington gas consumers, (if
believed by them,) but, to the contrary, would
lead < ne to believe that thoy have never seen
a gas light Indeed, wo fear we are striking
very close to the truth judging from the
light (when any) in making this assertion
Let the proper officers, whoever they may
be, I presume the Commissioner of Public
Buildings to have some say, notice the stron
ger groping his way from some one of our Ho
tels (which he has just left in total darkness)
in search of the National Theatre, and after
being directed by dozens of passers-by; when
he arrives at the spot there is not sufficient
" Gas " to show him that such a building does
or ever did stand there, in connexion with
the Theatre subject and " Gas " we take tho
liberty of saying that on Saturday night Jef
ferson and other performers publicly de
nounced the manner in which they and their
audience had been treated by this " Monopo
ly."
Certainly the members of tbe two Houses
of Congress with tho truth of this nuisance
before their own eyes will speedily grant a
new charter and enable us to havo that great
de-ideratum Light.

| ADVERTISKMBNT.
Gas ?Mr. Editor: The universal com
plaint against the Gas Company you must
have hoard, and in your own establishment
must feel tho annoyance. The recent card
published by the Superintendent, accounting
tor bad gas and no gas at all, is but a poor
excuse. The idea that because tho company
have poor coel on hind they must use it be
fore getting another supply, is no more cxcuse
than one of us should use bad beef because
we have been cheated and have it on hand
You never hear of such excuses from gis com
panics in other cities. Id coal so far off that
it takes weeks and months to obtain a supply?
Tbe annoyance felt by all the hotels, to say
nothing of private consumers, by the gas be
ing turned off at six o'clock in the morning,
and not let on until after dark in tbe evening,
is cause for real complaint. There is a peti
tion now before the Committee on the District
of Columbia, for a charter for a new company,
and were it brought before Congress. I think
no argument in ita favor would be so conclu
sive as a mere reference to the present man
agement of the existing company.

[ADVEETI8EME9T.
Gas.?We have male inquiries as to the
inadequate supply of gas for the last few
nights, and find tbe causes to be, first, in the
coal received of late, which on account of ex
posure, probably, is of less strength than usual,
though costing the same price ; second, the
high winds from the 20th of March to the 3i
instant, blowing without an hour's cessation
from one quarter prevented tbe chimney fron.
drawing, and consequently, no heat could be
gotten up on tbe btnehes, and tbe coal re
mained ucmelted in tho retorts. The officers
and employees of the Company are working
day and night to remedy these unavoidable
but unfortunate mishaps, and from the indus
try shown we feel oonfilent that a few days
will put everything to rights again. The loss
to the Company is as greit as the annoyanje
to its consumers. It

verdict late last night, attributing the death*
io that disaster to the worn out, leaky, and
defective boiler?to the inefficiency of Richard
Letter, who inspected it, the general unfitness
of the boat for the transport of pasMngers?
and the omission of tho company to properly
man, equip and provide means of escape in
case of fire, explosion or collision The ver
dict exonerates the officers of the boat who
did all in their power under the circumstances,
to gave those on hoard. A preamble which
was, however, only approved by a portion of
the jury, censures the company In the strong
