SOMETHING OF THE HISTORY OF THE DENOMINA- TION IN THIS CITY—THEIR FIRST CHURCH} HERE—GROWTH 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 ses- sion here, and Rey. Wm. Parkinson, the chap- lain of Congress, preached for the infant con- gregation. There were then less than four thousand inhabitants in this District. F street wasthe main thoroughfare from east to west, and Pennsylvania avenue was an unimproved road—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 in the fall of 1802 a meeting- house, at the corner of 19th and I streets, was oecupied. Although they had no regular pas- tor, the concrezation kept up the meetings. In January, 1807, a call was extended to Rev. Obadiah B. Brown, of New Jersey, and he entered upon his duties as pastor of the new ehnreh February 2tst, following, the member- but twenty-three at that ec. storate’ of Mr. Brown, -26 years at 19th and I streets— Under the tinned until! the chureh gr Several seasons of revival. NOTED CONVERTS. In 1814 Hon. Oliver C. Comstock, a member of Co: ‘ss 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- eal life, he became an evangelist. The actor, on a profession of re and removed to thi in the Treasury) was licensed and ordained as a minister by tlis church, and subsequently was Baptist church of Alexandria, which he served some years.

Up to the time of the removal from 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 1839 they were orzanized as the First Colored Bap- tist Chureh, with Rev.

He aio stated that the society afterwards learned | of the death of Coles, and employed him (the Undertaker) to ¢o to Potter's Field, and remove the remzins 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 j the grave was opened by the authorities, and | the cofin was raised. It was so light’ that those present insisted on its being opeued be- fore re-interring it, when it was discovered to be empty. Divorce es A divorce was granted sterday to Anna A.

T. C. Teas- dale in 1853, and having erected the 13th between G and H streets, a tion was built up. Rev. Dr. | Teasdale was succeeded by Rey. Isaac Cole, and | it was mainly through his efforts that the union of the two concrezations was effected. During Dr. Samson’s pastorate the church edifice was badly damaed by a tempest, (February, 1862,) and the congregation accepted the use of the New York reh. Mainly throuzh Dr. Samson's edilice was rebuilt. In the latter part of 1863 Rev, Dr. A. D. Gillette, now | of Brooklyn, N. ¥., sueceeded Dr. Sanson. Dr. Gili ined the pastor for about rs, resizning on account of ill health, inbersip continued to increase dur pastorate. After a few months’ suppl: by Dr. Hall and others, Rev. Dr. Jamee Cuthbert was called and entered on his duties a little over eieven years ago, and still remains. Dr. Cuthbert has b 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 prosperous Sunday school attached to it. ee ‘The Spencer Divorce Case. LEGAL CONTEST FOR POSSESSION OF THEIR CHILD. Yesterday afternoon, Col. Chas. 8. Spencer, of New York, for Ella Foster, applied to Chief Justice Cariter, for a writ of habeas corpus, di- rected to R. F. Foster, to produce the body of Edith Mand Foster, 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 Ist inst. The parties are well known here, and their married life of some seven years has not been the most pleasant one. On January 2ist last the husbana and th ing hit led a bill for a divorce from his wife on the! ground of adultery; Messrs. Riddle, Miller and Padgett being his attorneys.

TRE New Fist Law.—The fish monopoly question, which has attracted much attention here in courts and councils and out of them,was settled. as reported yesterday, by the city coun- cil on Tuesday ni ‘The new law, however, or nd xof the fish bench 1 ja haa nearly always had free The first at- tempt at monopoly market products h was made in 1800, did not include fish. of that year provided that “no person shall, duriag the market hours, moke sale of or offer or expose for sale, nor shall any persons urehase any fowls, butter. chees ezes or vegetables at any place within the c poration except xt the market house;” but very Soon fish was included. Popular feeling opposed tablisiiment of a market, without further enact- ment, was never supposed to prevent the sale elsewhere of goods similar to those sold in the market. Wheneyer the counells desired to pro- hibit the sale of any product elsewhere than in the city market, the’council made a law which in terms forbade the saie of such product else- where. But conneil never afterwards until last year attempted to limit the sale of any product j to the market except during market hours. And when this attempt was made it was made in plain terms, for the act of 1821 declared “that no person shall during market hours make sale of, or expose for sate, nor shall any person purchase any kind of meat, poultry, butter, or yezetables at any place within the corporation, except at the market house. any of the articles aforesaid. and every pei who shall purchase the same contrary to this act shail severally forfeit and pay ten dollars.” n be sold as well out of ish could be sold out of law ptior Pro- vided, that nothing herein contained shail be construed to extend to the sale and purchase of. butter in firkins, beef aud pork for salting or already salted, or of fish.” The fInance com- mittee, however, construed the code to limit the sale of fish to the mafket, and asthe fish benches. were rented by one firm, that gave a monopoly, and the courts sustained this action. The new law, however ys the monopoly after the rch and gives free trade in fish, subject toa license tax.

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 Akxpress 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 which 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 scon to be crematory ples at Rome, Cremona. Paya and other |: cities. At Pesth. too, there is an association for actively promoting the same object, while at Paris the municipal conneil favors i would be introduced but for the oppos the minister for home affairs. The Parisian cremationists assert that in avery few years at least 10 per cent wopld be cremated.” The gravest objection urged against cremation is that in criminal cases it would cover the track of the wrons-doer. To obviate this, Lorin, of Milan, offered to the 24,000 to maintain a post mortem examination room, where the bodies of all persons whose deaths are not accounted for to the entire satis- faction of the authorities can be examined. With sucha provision as_tiis, the Le Moyne crematory at Washington, Pa., the only one in this country, would serve the promoters of ere- mation as well as the famous furnace of Milan.” +e. ALLEGED Baxk —Win. Burke, who was arrested last week in Buffalo, on suspicion of having stolen railroad bonds 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 Yorkstate, where he is wanted for a theft of bonds in Cohoes. The judge said that if he waa convicted in New York and Society. As many were aware that yesterday would probably be the last Wednesday on which Secre- tary Bilaine’s wife and daughter would see visitors as ladies of the Cabinet (as he expects to give up the State department to his suc- cessor, Secretary Frelinghuysen, next Monday) a numberof their friends called to pay their re- spects. As all were aware that Mr. Blaine and his family intend to spend the winter here there was no necessity for goodbyes, and the recep- tion was very lively and enjoyable.

A telegram from Rochester, N.Y., last night says: “Early yesterday morning a well dressed, good looking lady anda little girl eleven years old hastily alighted from a train that arrived at the Rochester depot of the New York Central Railroad and hurriedly purchased tickets direct to Chicago. They then took the next train for the west. The woman was Mrs. Julia Rates,the divorced wife of the Rev. Henry 0. Bates,a Bap- tist mister of Sodus, N.Y. In the afternoon Mr. Bates arrived in the cityin pursuit of the woman and his child. His story is that he discoy- ered, while living in Chicago in 1869, that his wife was unfaithful, and that he removed to Sodus a year ago, after haying obtained a divorce in Chicago from bis wife on the ground of marital infldelity. On November 20. the divoreed v came on to Sodus and wed at the place in which the little girl, Minnie, was taken care of by a Mrs. Sands, a half sister of Mr. Bates. In the latter part of November, M Bates attempted to take the child surrep- from the Sodus church during a ser- her, which created a great sensa- 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 yave Mrs. Sands orders not to let the child go out of her sight. Yesterday, Mrs. Bates told Mrs. Sands that she wanted to bring the child to this city to be photographed. Mrs. nds consented, and Mrs. Bates went off to azo, as stated. Mr. Bates intends to follow divorced wife to Chicago on the first train to-1norrow.” 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 served out his sentence the fight would then be astowhether Michigan or Ohio would claim the child, kissed her.

Se pen 2d Edition THE TRIAL OF GUITEAU. Gen. Heynolds Cross-Examined. THE PRISONER CALIS THE WITNESS A LIAR After the close of the report of the Guitean trial, in the first edition of this paper, Gen. Reynolds was then turned over to Mr. Scoville for cross-examination. Mr. Scoville said that he had two letters relating to state- ments made by General Reynulds to parties in Chicago which he desired to use in cross-exami- nation, and as he did not have them with him he would be unable to complete the cross-examina- tion. The district attorney said he hoped Mr. Sco- ville would conclude this afternoon, as General Reynolds had received a dispatch stating that his child was sick. “That’s what ¢ Reynolds told me when he was playing detective on me,” spoke up the prisoner; “that he had a dispatch that his child was sick and had to go. He went away and I never saw him any more. GUITEAU ACCUSES GEN. REYNOLDS OF LYING- The witness having said that he came here on a telegram setting forth that he was wanted in Washington— “You told me.” said the prisoner, “that you came here to settle up an old claim in the Treas- ury department. You were lying. You and Shaw go weil together.” The witness said he did not know at the time why he was sent for. During the cross-examination, Guiteaun occa- sionally made interruptions to denounce the prisoner. for having, as he said, deceived him. “You are a low dirty scoundrel,” he said, “to sneak in on me in that way.” “There's not one word,” said Guiteau once, “that General Reynolds has said_that I wish to withdraw; but I say I don’t like the mean, dirty way that they got the information.” The witness said that when he visited the jail he made no misrepresentations at all; the At- torney General and Secretary Kirkwood re- quested him to go to the jail; he went to jail to see Guiteau and learn of his conduct and why he committed the act; he received no re- muneration at all, except his expenses: he re- ceived a government draft two months after- ward. “What was the amount?” asked the prisoner. “Give us the amount?” “The amount was £85, I think.” “That's pretty good pay,” retorted the pris- oner* You were there three times.

GUITEAU INSTRUCTS HIS COUNSEL. He had said that he thought the prison er was of peculiar mental constitution. The prisoner reproached Mr. Scoville several times for making the examination so long and tedious, and said to him: “You ought to take some lessons fromme. Say your things sharp and pointed.” The court at three o'clock adjourned. During the recess hour to-day a gentleman of huze proportions, between 7 and 8 feet in height, appeared inthe hallway, and the specta- tors wondered whether there could be found room for hii inside.
