A PAPER INDORSING THE DECISION—THR QUESTION OF THE FOWER OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, &C. ‘The Bethel Literary and Historical association last evening listened to a paper by Mr. George H.

It ts intended by sctentists and others to endeavor to interest Congress this winter in the enterprise So frequently discussed of establishing a Zoological garden in this city. ‘The enterprise is endorsed by the officials connected with the Smithsonian insti- tution, and is regarded with favor by all sclentific men. ‘The only difficulty in the way of carrying into successful execution such a project 1s the want of a proper and commodious location. It is the in- tention to ask Congress to authorize the use of some portion of the public grounds for this pur- and it has been suggested that the tomac flats, after the work of reclamation completed, would make a very desirable site. ‘Thi would be a continuation of the ground where the fish ponds are now located, and the latter would form a novel and Interesting feature of the Zoolog- teal gardens." ‘The conventence of this locality to the City ts. great advantage, and if the garden 1s laced under the supervision of the Smithsonian nstitution, this would seem to be the proper loca- ton.

As It is generalty known, this 1s by no means a new {dea, and the enterprise has frequently been considered in scientific circles. In 1870, on the application of a number of well-known gentlerien, Congress passed an act incorporating “A Zoological soclety in the city of Washington.” ‘The tncorpo- rators named were Henry D. Cooke, Geo. W. Riggs, James C. Kennedy, Spencer F. Baird, Gen. 0. 0: Howard, T. W. Bartley, Joseph Casey, Capon, James ©. McGuire and George Taylor. number of the Incorporators are now dead.

IMPORTING ANIMATS. ‘The clause in regard to the fmportation of ant- mals was very liberal. It was as follows: “That the said society may from time to time import into this country from foreign countries free of duty all birds and anlinals necessary for the establishment of seid garden and in consideration thereof, the sald soctety shall do all in. their power to introduce Valuable snimals, poultry and birds, and furntsh the same to persons or societles requiring the same At the least possible cost.” TRE CHARTER STILL Goon. As above stated this charter 1s still good, and the coming season will witness the revival of this so- clety. When it was first organized the only land that was available was in the northeastern portion of the city, near Graceland cemetery. This was considered too far away from the center of the city. ‘The location along Rock creek, in the rear of what 15 now known as Washington Heights, was also sug- gested, but the society found that the money re- quired for the purchase of the land would plunge them too deeply into debt.

At the session of the Washington City Presbytery, at the Fourth Presbyterian chureh yesterday, after Tue Srar’s report closed, the report of the Wash- Ington presbytery to be submitted to the synod of Baltimore, was read. It shows that the presbytery consists of 36 ministers, 31 churches, 3 licentiates, and 7 candidates; also 4,272 communicants, 6,211 Sunday school members, 131 retiring elders, and 49 deacons. ‘The amount of funds reported to the general assembly foots up $75,407. During the past year the presbytery received Rev. Ward Batchelor, from the Delaware association of Congregational churches, into membership. An examination was ordered yesterday, which will be followed by his ordination as a regular Presbyterian minister. Dr. Sunderland was requested to preach at the Eastern chureh until a new pastor is appointed. Rev. A. 'T. Cavis presented a ease of disagree- ment between the assembly of the Eastern Presby- terlan church :nd some of the members and Sun- day school, growing out of the desire on the part of the latter to hang a picture of one of the deceased teachers in the lecture room of the church. Rev. Mr. Cavis claimed that such a thing tended towards “Idolatry and Popery.” ‘The presbytery decided that the assembly of the church had authority in the matter, but was of the opinion that there could be no harm in hanging the pleture in the lecture room. Jt was recommended that the various churches celebrate the Luther centennial. ‘The presbytery adjourned at 5:30 o'clock without considering the Telations of Rey. F. H.

The thirtieth exhibition of the Monjgomery County Agricultural Society began to-day at the fair grounds. Having had the usual disheartener in the shape of bad weather, Montgomerians feel that the fair ought to go ahead now all right. Itis believed that the association, which 1s, by the way, the oldest of the kind in the state, has never yet attempted an exhibition without having a set- back on account of the weather. The town, even, very rarely tries to jubllate, but what disastrous Weather gets its work in first. Rockville en fete, freely translated, means Rockville all mud. How- ever, it has been much worse than it is now, for the town boasts of new sidewalks, and the roads, par- |" ticularly in the direction of ‘the fair grounds, are well graded and greatly improved. A few hours of wind «ind sunsiiine will leave the old town just as clean as a new pin, With tts three decades of varying fortunes, the fair association comes to the front again, with strong evidences of future prosperity.

THE ANNUAL EXHIBITIONS were sometimes not sufficient to pay expenses, and When the present board of directors assumed con- trol the association was in debt. Under the present management there has been a gratifying Improve- ment financially, It1s hoped the present fair will relleve all indebtedness and leave a respectable bal- ance forthe new board, who will be elected the coming year. Mr. W. W. Rapley, the president, has, worked hard to Insure the present gratifying out- look, aided materially in_ his efforts by the efliclent secretary, Mr. Albert J. Almoney. ‘The various departments ol the exhtbition are unusually full and Interesting. The display of agricultural implements and machinery was never So great, ‘Three Washington firms are repre: L, Messrs. Helskell, Moore and John A. Baker. Every Stall for stock entries has been taken, Mr. Albaugh making a fine showing of Holstein cattle. THE DOMESTIC DEPARTMENT, in the upper story of the exhibition hall, ts credita- ble to the ladies of the county. The display of needlework takes in everything, from an invisibly darned stocking to exceedingly artistic specimens in Kensington and Arrasene embroideries, AS a Umit has been put to the age of quilts or the num- ber of times already exhibited visitors will not be sorry to miss wonderful specimens with goddesses, Toosters and green bushes dotted over it, which adored the line for so many years. "The assoc! ton, in a spirit of progress, believes in crazy patch- work now, so as to show off the nimble fingers of the young ladies. ‘The result is something worth coming up to Rockville to see. THE CULINARY DEPARTMENT, wherein fs displayed in tempting rows, strong evi- dences of the proof of the pudding, that is to say, things that will eat well, receives a good bit of at- tention, and deserves it, too.

These children’ of the forest’ got all they wanted of the “native wild” business last night, as they camped on the fair grounds, and looked anything but. pic- turesque. Tn addition to this novel feature there will be four races every day, the horses being owned both in the county and the’District.. On Friday a four-in-hand race will take place, and each day there will be chariot and tandem racing. Several Kennels of gollle dogs have already arrived, and others will be entered. ‘These will give exhibitions each day. Commissioner Loring has promised to deliver an address during the fair, A West Virginia Mystery. A FIFTEEN YEAR OLD BOY CHARGED WITH MURDER, Samuel Faulkner was found on Saturday on the bank of a creek near Janelew Junction, Lewis county, W. Va. and was supposed to be drunk, but on investigation was ascertained to be severely wounded. Ie died thesame evening. When asked who shot him, he replied, “Ounce Cummins shot me. Itisthe last words? have to speak.” From other testimony it seems that Faulkner recently hat some difiiculty with Cummins, who Is a iad about fifteen years of age, and ason of Thomas Cummins, of Clarksburg. Cummins had also had a fight with a man named Joe Weaver, at No.2 mines, near Clarksburg, on the Saturday night be- fore, in which Faulkner 1s said to have taken a part. He 1s supposed to be entirely ignorant of who did the shooting, as he made two other state- ments on his death-bed, which show plainly that he elther did not know who did 1t, or that tt would implicate some one whom he did not want to get into trouble, Altogether the affair is a mysterious one. From the evidence taken at the inquest, it seems that Samuel Faulkner, the murdered man, in company with his step-brother, J. C. Fury, left Clarksburg on Friday morning on & visit to’ their father, who lives @ few miles from Janelew. ‘They were Walking, and arrived at Janclew some time about 12 or 1 d’elock. After loafing about the town an hour or so, getting pretty well under the Influ- ence of iquor, they started on, and at the railroad. bridge sat down for a rest. ‘Afterwards the men separated, Faulkner remaining behind. Thi: the last that could be ascentained of Faulkner’ movements until he was found wounded.
