The site at the corner of AN IMPOSING CHURCH EDIFICE. | History and Deseription of the Building The necessity for building a new Cathmlic Church in South Washington, to meet the wants | of the steadily increasing mombership in tnat section, had for a long time been discussed in private circles before the plans of the large edifice, now nearly completed, were projected. ‘The first definite action was taken April Zid, 1865, when, immediately after the celebration of the holy sacrifice of mass, the Rey. J. A. a Archbishop of this diocese, they had come to the wetl-matgred conclusion to call a meeting of the congregation immediately after vespers inthe basement of the church for the | hod of hearing the opinions of the heads of ilies and others who might feel interested, and there interchange of views as desirable mode of devising ways and means to succesefully scosmplish the object so much desired. As it was his inten- tion, tn ——, with the other Fathers who were colaborers with him, to make every ible exertion, their only motive being the por and glory ot God, the personal comfort of the con, tion and their spiritual advance- ment, he would welcome their cordial and un- divided cooperation, with the aid of Al- mighty G he felt confitent that their efforts would be crowned with fuli success. Pursuant to this verbal cali, the Rev. J. A Bokel, pastor, with Reverend Fathers 1. P. Kaiph,J. H. Lynch, and P. ©. Coll, together with a large and respectable number laity assembled in the mentof the cl by special request the Rev. H. P. Raiph cailed the meeting to order, and John A. Peak was chosen secretary. Father Boke! arose and in a very eloquent manner made known the object of the meeting in which he stated that if the means were forthcoming he would promise them a church that would be an honor to their faith,an honor to themselves, and an ornament to the city; thatit should not be sur; in dimensions, nor in magniticence of architecture anywhere south of New York; and New York should not furnish an excep- tion as there was not a church there that could boast of its claims to archi- tectural superiority, and pre-eminence. Inthe commencement of the work of sach gigantic dimensions, it was necessary to have some solid foundation upon which to base their financial calculations, and he would state that Mr. George Mattingly had made the princely donation of $3,000. “Subscriptions were then Teceived of 2500, $300,8200, $100, $50, and others of smaller amounts, making altogether about $10,000 subscribed on that occasion. Subse- quent contributions soon swelied this amount until the pastor and his assistants concluded they had enough to commence thi streets was selected and the Ja: | foundation walls begun, and th steadily progressed since that tims with the ex- | ration, and now a massive amd i | $200,000, stands ‘prominently a! | of | and the masour: ease waaheard on Thursday, | | three feet wide, a: g in thickness; and this wall, a | the was ie fund which'wiil cost, when comp rounding objects, an ornament to the pride of the Cathol! architect was Mr. P. ©.

Price was the first witness, and he testified that he knew nothing about Mr. Moffat’s sheleton wagon referred to in the testi- mony of ion, apnare and Moffat. He never was asked to buy it, never saw it, never made an effort for it, and did not koow Gordoa, Sprague or Coe. Constable Henry Lacey was cross-examined by Justice Keese as to ‘THE FURNITURE CASE. in which Mrs. Solomons and Mrs. Hutton were the parties. He said that he did not know that he had any malicious Seckcags Cee Keese. He thought Keese had prompted O'Neal to buy the furniture of Mrs. Hutton when both of them knew it was covered by a deed of trust to secure Solomons, and that Keese was interested in the profits of the transactiot is impression was roduced on his mind by information recetved m O'Neal. The reason he had stated that Keese issued the writ of replevin against Lati- mer & Cleary, instead of the trustee, Behrens, was that he believed that he did not wish to embarrass Behrens, who was his (Keése's) son- in-law, by attendance upon the trial. Hecould not exactly fix the date or time of day when the recorder’s clerk had told him that the deed of trust was not upon record. Louis Behrens (Keese’s son-in-law,) was Sworn. He was the trustee named in the deed of trust, but knew nothing of it until the day that he took charge of portion of the prop- erty bronght from O’Neal’s house covered by it. Keese sent to his house for him to come down to the office at once. Arriving there, Keese gave him a paper (which he produced) contawiing a list of furniture, and told him he was trustee ror the same, and musttake what was then in a wagon before the door in charge, as trustee, and deliver the same to Latimer & Pineg’ and deposit it there asthe trustee of Mrs. Solomons, and then make every effort to find and recover the balance of the furniture named in the list and deposit itinthe same place and in the same manner. He did so, and k a receipt, (shown.) Lacey objected to his taking charge of the property. Mrs. Solomons, who was there, consented, however, and he proceeded as before stated. After depositing that load Lacey told him he would tell him where to go on K street and get some more, but he wished to send Mrs. Solomons home first, as he did not wish her to know anything about it. He then started, and at the suggestion of Keese took his own w Solomons the expense of niring one; rang the bell and asked to see the lady of the Nouse, who came, and on learning his business very kindly El opened every room in the house, and suffered him to compare the furniture with that named and described in his list, taking and removing such as he found belonging to his trust, he transferred to Latimer & Cleary’s. He heard nothing more of the matter untif he was told of the replevy suits; but had nothing to do with them; was applied’ to on one occasion by lawyer Carrington to sign a bond for Mrs. Solomons in a replevy suit before Justice Shea, but declineg todo so, unless indemnified against loss and trouble from snits. Mr. Carrington said that the law would compel him to do it, as he was trustee; told him that two or three law- yers andas many constables had gone on with these matters without his knowledge until they had got into trouble, and now they wanted to pull him into it; finally promised to see Solo- mons the next morning, and then call at h office. Solomons told him it was a matter of interest to them whatever. When Carrington heard this he seemed much surprised, and, de- clining to give him the indemnifying bond, he refused to sign the paper. (n crose-examination by Mr. Keese, witness said he had no conversation with Keese since the day he took charge of the furniture except to tell him that he was sorry that he appointed him as trustee; he said, “Well, I put you there, and want you to do what is Fight)” witness was sent for by Keese to be present at this investiga- tion; do not remember of having had conversa- tion with Lacey since the delivery of the goods . si Palmer & Green, will restore your appetite. to Latimer & Cleary. r By Mr. Lacey: O'Neal went with him part of | ASE, Your grocer for them. sy to get the furniture, and showed him the house; O'Neal voluntarily offered to go with him; Keese did not advise him not to replevy the carpet; had legal advice from other parties.
