A petition has been presented to the District sioners by property-holders and resi- nts on 13th street southwest, asking for the improvement of the alley between 13th and 1314 and B and © streets. This alley, for filth and inire, would take the prize over all alleys in the District. It is estimated that in the L portion it, running north and south, there are not less than 200 cart loads of ashes and cinders, the accumulation of twenty or thirty yea: where no one was required by law or ordinance to remove toal ashes and other rubbish to es- tablished dumping places. It is piled in rows and heaps, and during rainy seasons the mire is intolerable. As there seems to be no money on hand for alley work, all the citizens ask is, that the lines for grading be given them and the material necessary to pave it, and they will have the work of paving done without any further cost to the District. It has never been payed, notwithstanding the whole square is built up and generally with a good class of houses. gee Amusements, &c.

He also stated that the society afterwards learned of the death of Coles, and employed him (the undertaker) to go to Potter's Field, and remove the remains to Harmony cemetery. Mrs. Coles, widow of the deceased, accompanied by a com: | mittee from the society, and the undertaker, went to the Almshouse burying ground, and the crave was opened by the authorities’ and the coffin was raised.

HERE—GROWTIL IN MEMBERSHIP AND ORGANI- ZATION OF OTHER CHURCHES. That large and influential sect—the Baptists— formed their first congregation in this city as early as March 7th, 1802, with the following persons among the original members: Charles P. Polk, Cephas Fox, Charles Rogers, John Bu- chan, Joseph Borrows, and Sarah Borrows. At that time Congress was holding its second res- sion here, and Rey. Wm. Parkinson, the chap- Jain of Congress, preached for the infant con- gregation. There w the than four thousand ubitants in this District. F street was the main thoroushfure from east to west and Pennsylvania avenue was an unimproved roud—the city then being in reality one of mag nificent distances. THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. The young congregation took steps, imme- diately after its formation, to provide a house of worship, and inthe fall of 1802 a meeting- house, at the corner of 19th and I streets, was occupied. Although they had no regular pas tor, the congregation kept up the meetings. In January, 1807, @ call was extended to Rev. Obadiah B. Bro: of Ne and he entered upon his duties as pastor of the new chareh February 2ist, following, the memper- ship numbering but twenty-three at that time. Under the p: ate of Mr. Brown, which con- tinted until 26 years at 19th and I streets the chureh srew steadily, and at times enjoye Several seasous of revival. NOTED CONVERTS. In 1814 Hon. Oliver C. Comstock, a member of Congress trom New York, was baptized, re- ceived into the church and licensed to preach, and five years afterwards (1819), he was or- dained to the ministry, and relinquishing politi- cal life, he became an ey: ist. The actor, Spencer H. Cone, having relinquished the on a profession of religion in Baltimore, in 1s and removed to this in the Treasury) was lice ed asa minister by this church, and subsequently wa called to the Baptist church of Ale which he served some years. A CHANGE OF Location. In 1816there was quite a revival in thischurch, and the membership was largely increased. The chureh building, in 1830, was found to be too small for the congregation, and having be- come somewhat dilapidated, a new edifice was erected on 10th street, between Eand F, in 1833, which was occupied till 185 afterwards occupied by Ford’s Theater, now the Arms “ul Museum. Here the congregation increased and prospered, revivals having oc- curred in 1839 and 1813. THE FIRST COLORED BAPTIST CHURCH. Up to the time of the removal f.om 19th Street there was quite a number ofcolored mem- bers, and for a few years some of these con- tinued to worship with the whites, but most of them remained at the old location, and in 1059 they were organized as the First Colored Bap- tist Church, with Rev. G. W. Anderson as pus- tor. MORE CHANGES, In 1850 Rev. Mr. Brown having served the church on 10th street forty-three years, re- sigued. Rev. Dr. S. P. Hill succeeded Mr. Brown, entering on his duties in October, 1550, and continued as the pastor until after this congregation was merged with that of the Fourth Church, on 13th street, in 1859, and with Rey. Isaac Cole he was joint pastor until 1860. Rey. Dr. Samson, president of Col- umbian College, was next pastor, without sal- ary, for about three years. ‘The Fourth Church, with which this congregation was merged, was | formed by a number of members from the E street church, associated with Rey. T. date in 1853, and having erected the 13th street church, between G and H streets, a goodly congresation was built up. Rev. Dr. Teasdale was sneceeded by Rev. Isaac Cole, and it was mainly throuzh his efforts that the union of the two congregations was effected. During Dr. Samson's pastorate the church edifice was badly damaged by a tempest, (February, 1862.) and the congregation accepted the use of the New York ayenue church. Mainly through Dr. Samson’s efforts the edifice was rebuilt. In the Jatter part of 1863 Rev. Dr. A. D. tte, now of Brooklyn, N. Y., succeeded Dr. Samson. Dr. Gillette remained the pastor for about seven years, resigning on account of ill health, and the membership continued to increase dur. ing his pastorate. After a few months’ supply by Dr. Hall and others, Rey. Dr. James H. Cuthbert was called and entered on his duties a little over eleven years ago. and still remains. Dr. Cuthbert has been very successful in his pas- torate and quite frequently have there been ad- ditions to the chureh which now numbers over three hundred members, and there is quite a prosperous Sunday school attached to it. ez ¥ Divorce Case. CONTEST FOR POSSESSION OF THEIR CHILD. Yesterday afternoon, Col. Chas. 8. Spencer, of New York, for Ella Foster, applied to Chief Justice Cartter, for a writ of habeas corpus, di- rected to R. F. Foster, to produce the body of Edith Maud Poster, their child six years of age. The custody of the child is claimed by the pe- titioner under a decree of divorce from bed and | board, granted him by the supreme court of , the state of New York, on the tst inst. The parties are well known here, and their married life of some seven years has not been the most pleasant one. On January 21st last the husband filed a bill for a divorce from hig wife on the ground of adultery; Messrs. Riddle, Miller and Padgett being his atturneys. This case has progressed so far as to have the testimony | taken, and on November 11th last it was sub- mitted to the Equity Court. Chief Justice Cartter ordered the writ to issue as prayed, di- recting that it be returnable on the 24th inst. Messrs Riddle, Davis, and Padgett appear for the respondent. 2 = Tur Cyistra Divorce Case.—Yesterday afternoon Charles Goodman, the missing New York witness, who has twice appeared and dis- appeared, was produced and signed his testi- mon It was also announced by the counsel for the wife that Miss Mary Chamberlaine would be here ina few days and sign her deposition taken some time since.

The remains of Dr. Walter Cary, of Buffalo, N. Y., who died recently in Italy, were reduced to ashes at the crematory of Milan on the 22d of November. They will be brought to this country from England on the steamer which sails to-day, accompanied by the relatives who were with him during his illness. The Buffalo Express says: “The crematory at Milan is the most famous in the world. Although it has been in operation scarcely a year, it has burned over 150 bodies, many of wiicn’ were brought from foreign countries. In Italy there are no fewer than eighteen societies established to pro- mote cremation as a means of disposal of the dead; and there are soon to be crematory tem- ples at Rome, Cremona, Paya and other large cities. At Pesth, too, there is an a: ition for actively promoting the same object, while at Paris the municipal council favors it, and it would be introduced but for the opposition of the minister for home affairs. The Parisian cremationists assert that in avery few years at least 10 per cent would be cremated.” The gravest objection urged against cremation is that in criminal cases it would cover the track To obviate this, Signor Lorin, of Milan, has offered to the municipality 4,000 to maintain a post mortem examination room, where the bodies of all persons whose deatlis are not accounted for to the entire satis- jon of the authorities can be examined. With sucha provision as this, the Le Moyne erematory at Washington, Pa., the only one in this country, would serve the promoters of cre- mation as well ax the famous furnace of Milan.” eee A Dark Prospect FOR AN ALLEGED BANK Ropser.—Wm. Burke, who was atrested last week in Buffalo, on suspicion of having stolen railroad bonas from a bank in Cleveland, Ohio, was before the common pleas court in that city | yesterday, and ordered to be turned over to an officer from New York state, where he is wanted | for a theft of bonds in Cohoes. The judge said | that if he was convicted in New York and served out his sentence the fight would then be as to whether Michigan or Ohio would claim him on other charges. The sheriff and the New York officer then started down stairs with Burke, and just as they reached the street the prisoner dodged under the officer's arm and made a leap for liberty, but the sheriff was too quick and caught him by the collar of his coat. Burke is the man who, a short time ago, was causht in the vault of the Savings bank of Bal- timore, Gay and 2d streets. cP Boyp anp HANLAN.—A cable from London to Toronto last night says: “Boyd has signed ar- ticles for a match with Hanlan, on the Tyne, for the championship of the world and £500. ‘The race is set for April 3, 1882. Hanlan is allowed Boyd has already posted £100. Subscriptions are: being raised in New- castle by his friends.” Hanian is satisfied, and will cable his acceptance at ance.

In Pursuit of His Child. RGYMAN'S CHASE AFTER MIS DIVORCED WIPE. AND LITTLE DAUGHTE! A telegram from Rochester, N.Y say Jarly yesterday morning a well dressed, good looking lady and a little girl eleven years old hastily alighted from a train that arrived at the Rochester depot of the New York Central Rail and hurriedly purchased tickets direct to Chicago. They then took the next train for the west. The woman was Mrs. Julla Bates,the divorced wife of the Rev. Henry 0. Bates, a tist wunist ACLE! last night er of Sodus, N.Y. In'the afternoon M: Bates arrived in the city in pursuit of the woman and his chi His story is that he di ered, while iiving in Chicago in 1869, that wife was unfaithful, and that he removed «lus a year ago, after having obtained a divorce in Chicago from his wife on the ground of marital infidelity. On November 20 the divorced wife came on to Sodus and stoy the place in which the little girl, Minnie, was taken care of bya Mrs. Sands, a half sister of Mr. Bates. In the latter part of November, Mrs. Bates attempted to take the child surrep: titiously from the Sodus church during a eer- mon by its father, which created a great sensa- tion, and on which occasion she struck a man in the face. Since then Mr. Bates, who has a legal guardianship of the little girl, watched her carefully and gaye Mrs. Sands orders not to let the child go out of her s . Yesterday, Mrs. | Bates told Mrs. Sands that she wanted to bring | the child to this city to be photographed. Mrs. Sands consented, ‘and Mrs. Bates went off to | Chicago, as stated. Mr. Bates intends to follow his divorced wife to Chicago on the first train to-morrow.” Mrs. Bates has created a sensation by a letter giving her side of the story. She says the Chi- cago divorce that Mr. Bates claims to have ob- tained will be set aside, as she never appeared. As to the custody of the child, it was awarded to Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Sands, of Lakeside, New York, and Mr. Bates himself abducted her from her legal guardians. Hearing of this, she traveled from Chicago to see the child, and went to church for that purpose only. She entered the church, and seating herself beside the child, kissed her. It was then that Mr. Bates saw her and raised an outery and de- manded her removal, which fullowed. She declares that for fifteen years she supported her family, including her husvand, who refused to work, and that finally, on getting a clerkship in a store in Welland, he was arrested for stealing money from his employer. They went back to Chicago, and were supported by an aid society. Then Bates went to Buffalo and opened a saloon. but soon failed. She received a legacy of $1,000, which he invested and lost in a saloon In Chicago, after which he said he had DP) By + South € Las, RW. TL . Virgint nin Hotel n House, naw. tan Hotel L ¥ ave.
