Latest Teleorams tO The Star THE WAVE OF RATIONALISM. Dr. Mendenhall Tells the M. E. Confer- ence it is Sweeping the Country. Special Dispatch to Tu Evawixe STAR. Baxrimore, Mp., March 9.—Rev. John W. Hedges conducted the religious services in the Baltimore M. E. conference thisa.m. Rev. Dr. J. O. Peck, of New York, corresponding tary of the Missionary society, and Rev. Dr. Mendenhall, editor of the Methodist Review, made addresses, Dr. Mendenhall said there was not a religious review in the United States that is self-supporting. The wave of rational- iam was sweeping the country, and Yale college was its center, with every professor a rational- ist. Harvard, too, was a center of rationalism. The editor of the Presbyterian Review and Rev. Heber Newton were both rationalists. The re- ligion of the country should not go to the Boman Catholics, though with their cathedrals and schools and their university at Washing- ton they were trying to take it. There was no denomination that the Roman Catholics feared so much as THE CONQUERING METHODISTS, The difference between the Methodists and the Presbyterians was that the Methodist prayed like the Presbyterians and the Presby- terians preached like the Methodists. Rev. Thos. Hanlon, president of Pennington semi- nary, N. J., made an address, He said that 90 Young men had entered the semi the past year; 87 were from the Philadelphia confer- ence and 12 from the Baltimore conference. ‘The following ae deacons were elected | elders: Chas. L. Pate, Philip T, Edwards, and . Cassard. Jas. H. Jones and William Lam- | bright, local deacons, were elected elders, Geo. G. Leech and Stephen M. Naylor were | elected local deacons. John T. Barton, Edwin | T. Nowbray, Wm. J. Thom , Chas, C. Cook, | Wilham Harris, Wash'n J. Dice, John M. Slar- row, Thos. 8. Long, and Henry W. Jones were admitted into full connection. AN ADDRESS BY BISHOP Foss, Bishop Foss addressed the candidates. He said the Christian pulpit was scarcely a break- water against the tide of irreligion. In some lands called Christian not one in twenty went to church, One of the chief essentials to success- ful ministry was learnedness, There were now more than ever be ex which the preachers could not ignore, and which he must touch wisely, Young ministers should not be bald on the inside of the head or the people would soon find them out. Without revivals the church would decline and the people go to destruc- tion. One of the perils of the times isa weak milk-and-water, cologne-scented ministry, and one of the greatest evils is an unconverted church membership. The preacher who did not take a hold on some one every Sunday was the supremest impertinence. At the conclusion of the bishop’s address the class answered the usual questions, made their — ard their characters were passed. Wm. J. Thompson was, on motion, left without ap- pointment. Henry W. Jones was continued on ‘trial, but credited with the examination he has —-, Revs. L. A. Thirlkeld, of Bethany In- pendent M. E. ehurch, and J. R. Shultz, of Epworth I. M. E. church, were, by request of Presiding Elder Amos, granted the supernu- merary relation. PUBLICATION OF THE MINUTES. The order of the day, Dr. Lanahan’s motion that the conference minutes be not published, was taken up. The secretary said that the total amount subscribed this yearfor the publication of the minutes was $209.45, representing a subscription of 1,047 copies.’ Dr. Lanahan said that many members had not taken any, and others had only taken one. Ifthe matter remained as at present the minutes would be published at a loss of $250, which would fall upon the committee. Rev. Job A. Price. of Washington, moved asa sub- stitute toDr. Lanahan’s motion that the roll be called for subscription. Dr. Lanahan withdrew his motion and the roll was called. Sufficient additional ae were made to justify the publication of the minutes. A WARM DEBATE. Rev. J. N. Davis read the list of questions submitted by the sustentation committee to claimants on the fund, and asked what right hey had to make such an inquisitorial {nvesti- gation into the affairs of members. Just as the conference was about to get into a warm debate on this troubulous subject Rev. W. S. Edwards moved its postponement to Monday at 10 o'clock, and it was done. Resolutions of sympathy were passed for the Rev. Joseph France. who is confined to his house by sick- ness. Rev. T. C. Iliff, of the Utah conference, addressed the conference and asked for $1,000. > — The Bill will Pass. Bostox, March 9.—The senate has passed to a third reading the bill authorizing the Boston and Albany railroad to increase its capital stock by $10,000,000 by a vote of 28to9.

Lancaster, Pa., March 9.—Farmers coming to market from the northern part of this coun- try report another earthquake shock about 5 o’clock this morning. They say it was not as violent as that of last evening. a THE DIST OFFICES. Additional Candidates Named for Prom- inent Places. To-day Mr. Geo. 7 ‘Schayer, who was for eighteen years deputy recorder of deeds, was announced by his friends asa candidate for the office of recorder of deeds. Gen. Geo. Sheri- dan, the ex-recorder of deeds, is in the city and stated to-day that he was not after any- thing for himself, but would give his whole in- fluence tc securing the appointment of Mr. Schayer. Mr. Simon Wolf, also ex-recorder, is befriending Mr. Schayer’s cause. In addition to democratic citizens mentioned yesterday as possible successors to Commis- sioner Wheatley, Mr. Noble D.Larner is promi- nently spoken of. Mr. Wm. Dickson, who was mentioned in this connection yesterday, said to a Star reporter to-day that he had done noth- ing to further his own candidacy. His name had been brought forward, he aaid, by a num- ber of republican friends, Mr. Robert G. Blaine, a brother of Secretary Blaine and a resident of Capitol Hill, is named as a candidate for the office of register of wills, Major T. 8. Hopkins, a member of the bar; Major M. T. Anderson, and Thos, Martin, in addition to those mentioned in yesterday's Srak. are mentioned as candidates for the office of recorder of deeds, In the talk about the city hall Daniel-Rams- dell, of Indiana, is mentioned as a candidate for the position of marshal. Among the candidates for the marsbalship is Mr. J. Aulick Palmer. His Papers have been signed by a large number of leading citizens irrespective of party. Fred. W.

The names of at least three of the candidates for public printer have been formally pre- sented tothe President, and the indorsements on some of them seem to be weighty enough to secure for the applicants positions in the cabinet, Mr. M. D, Helm’s papers were placed in the hands of the President by Representatives Gal- linger, of New Hampshire; Grosvenor, of Ohio, and Browne, of Indiana, The documents ac- companying Mr. A. R. Hart's petition were presented by Senator Evarts, and signaturos ereon were numerous and of considerable value. Senator Hiscock, ex-Senator Platt, ex-Senator Warner Miller, nearly all the Rep- resentatives, the entire legislature, and a number of the most J pepe New York poli- ticians had inscribed their autographs to the recommendations. Mr. Donath’s cause was ably attended to by Senator Quay, Mr. Gorge W. Childs, Mr, Anthony Drexel, Senator Cameron and by the Pennsylvania delegation. It is whispered around at the White House this afternoon that Capt. Meredith will be ap- pointed chief of the bureau of engraving aud printing, and there are several little circum- ener which point to the truthfulness of this theory. The President has stated very clearly that he will make his selection of public printer not on ® man’s political strength but on his merits as a business man and a printer. Mr. Hart's chances are spoiled by this declaration because his friends do not claim that he is possessed of technical skill. Mr, Donath’s friends, on the other hand, are confident that if ability and experience are the essential requisites their man will get the place, ‘What Minnesota People Want. SOME OF THE CANDIDATTS FROM THAT STATE. Among the Minnesota people who are candi- dates for office are Rev. Dr. Jackson (colored), of St. Paul, who wants to be minister to Hayti; Wm. G.

It is thought that Platt is going to succeed in making Col. Fassett collector of the port of New York, and Col, Elliott F. Shepard expects, if he can get it without upsetting Whitelaw ted plans, to represent the United States at | Death of Col. Charles Lee Jones. Col. Charles Lee Jones, whose face has for years been a familiar one in the hotel lobbies, died suddenly yesterday, at an advanced age. Col. Jones was the only surviving son of Gen, Walter Jones, the noted lawyer. Asa young man Col. Jones was a leader in society, and the leer in all questions relating to the laws of welling. He =e second in several duels fought and unféught, and especially prominent in the af- fair between Clingman, of North Carolina, and Jefferson Davis.

The conptrollership of the is an- other plum which an Ohio man would like to have, the anxious office-seeker in this case being Mr. Richard Parsons, of Cleveland. The Indian Sooner prema er has lured Mr, M. A. Walton, weil known in Ohio politics, out of the obscurity of Greene county, and Mr. Walton thinks he would be an infinitely better friend to the untutored savage than the present incumbent—Bishop Oberly—is. Mr. bert Williams, of Eaton, would aiso like to be Indian commissioner, but as only one man can be i 4 inted, either he or Mr. Walton, or both, ve to be disappointed. Several Ohioans want to succeed Gen. N. H. R. Dawson as commissioner of education, among the many being Mr. John Hancock and Mr. E. E. White of Cincinnati, and Prof. Tracy L, Jeffords, late of Buchtel college, Akron. If no other man wants to be consul-general at Berlin, Ohio has a \didate, Mr. Charles John- son, of the Cincinnati Volksblatt, and Judge B. Hollister would like to be consul-general to Hawaii. Judge L. W. Brown thinks Montreal would suit him. Mr. Edwards, of Cincinnati, has an eye perhaps two eyes, on the consul-gen- eralship at London, and if there are any more consul-generalships lying around, why there are any number of good ee from Ohio who will cheerfully tay aside their private busi- ness and consent to serve the government in any paying capacity. Mr. O. J. Hodge, of Cleveland, had his friends at work to-day. Mr. Hodge thinks he will be satisfied if he is appointed governor of Alaska, Ex-Congressman Alphonso Hart is doing ali that can be expected of him in the race for assistant attorney-general, and Mr. Wm.

So is Mr. H. C. Drinkle, who is after the same place. Great and very numerous is the Ohio man at the White House. The Pressure on Mr. Windom. HE HAS NO TIME TO ATTEND TO OEFICIAL BUSI- NESS. Secretary Windom has found it almost im- possible to transact any public business in his own office on account of the stream of callers that besiege him. He therefore requested Gov. Thompson to act as Secretary to-day. This morning he went into the office of the First As- sistant Secretary, and there had a long conver- sation with Gov. Thompson in relation to certain matters pending before the department. Orders were given to keep visitors out of the room, but while the two were consulting the door was opened and the Vice-President entered. He was on an errand with Mr. Windom, and the conference was discontinued for a time. The Senate Committees. DIFFICULTY EXPERIENCED IN RE-ARRANGING THEM, THOUGH THE VACANCIES ARE FEW, At 2 o'clock both the republican and democratic taucus committees to arrange the Senate standing and special com- mittees for the Fifty-first Congress were still in session, their work not having been completed. The most important chai ships to be filled are those of manufactures and railroads, Messrs, Quay and Mitchell reg ively are in line for these, and will probably be assigned to them. ‘The rearrangement of com- mittees has proved t6 bea more difficult task than was expected, notwithstanding the com- | th. paratively few vacancies that exist. For Defacing the Monument. TWO MEN ATTACHED WHO HAD DEPOSITED COLLAT ERAL WHEN ARRESTED. Frank F. Robinson and Frank H. Churchill were arrested at the Washington monument yesterday by Special Officer Evans, for chipping ere of marble from the monument. They left $10 for their appearance in the Police Court to-day. When the cases were called the defendants failed to answer and their collaterals were forfeited. Prosecuting Attorney Armes called Judge Miller's attention to the fact that almost every dey the monument is being de- faced in this way, and something muat be done to prevent such vandalism in the future. The public, he thought, had been sufficiently warned against such actions to know better. The amount of collateral he did not think was sufficient to cover the offense, and he therefore desired attachments for them. The court granted the attachments, and the defendants will again be required to make another deposit, ——-—___ What Did the President Promise.

Representative Richard W. Townshend, Dilinois, died of pneumonia at 11:45 this morn- ing in bis rooms at the Riggs house. He con- tracted a severe cold a week ago last night and has been confined to his room since last Satur- day morning. The repidly, and cemetery, where his mother THE NEWs AT THE CAPITOL. The news of the death of Representative Townshend reached the capitol shortly after his decease, and the sergeant-at-arms imme- diately proceeded to the Riggs House to assist in making pee ee for the funeral. The flags on the Senate and House wings were dis- played at half-mast out of respect to the mem- ory of the deceased. The death of Mr. Townshend caused a general feeling of sorrow | Smithson’ among those members-elect of the next House who have been associated with him di his long service in the House. and among the officials and others who knew him well. Mr. Townshend was a page in the House in the early rt of his life, and went to Illinois with ex- presentative Marshall, of Illinois, whose dis- trict he afterward represented in the House. SKETCH OF HIS CAREER. He was born in Prince George's county, Md., April 30, 1840, but came to Washington when only ten years of age. He was educated at the public and private schools. He was also em- loyed in bis youth at Shillington’s well-known ookstore, - A BRIGHT BOY, Mr. Shillington used to say that he was a bright boy, and that he paid great attention to the great men up on the hill. He was also fond of political discussion, and used often to talk politics with an older clerk named Buck- sham. Townshend was bright, too, and he often = Buckingham to the wall. One da; when Buckingham had been so worsted he sai to young Townshend: “It makes no difference what you say, Dick Townshend; are nothing but a boy anyhow!” The boy Townshend re- plied, “I know I am only a boy, but I am going to be a Congressman some day. Just you wait a few years and I will be getting $5,000 a year in that house on the hill, while you are still clerking at a few dollars a week.” He got a position in the Senate not long after this as a page, through some of the Senators who used to buy books at Shillington’s, and there formed such a friendship with Judge Marshall, of Illinois, that the ndge jed him to go to Illinois with him in 1858. He taught school for a time. He sul ently studied law, and was admitted to the in 1862. He was clerk of the circuit court of Hamilton coun‘ and prosecuting at- torney for the twelfth "district He was 8 member of the democratic state central committee of Illinois for ten years and was a delegate to the national democratic convention at Baltimore in 1872, He served in the Forty-sixth. Forty-seventh, Forty-eighth, Forty-ninth, and Fiftieth Congresses as a demo- crat, and was re-elected to the Fifty-first. A FRIEND OF THE DISTRICT. During his long congressional career he was always a staunch friend of the District and served a long time as member of the District committee. He was always ready to take a de- cided stand for the interests of the city with which he was identified so long. “The District has lost a aS friend,” said Commissioner Wheatley y. ing of his death. ‘He was a man who lent his best efforts to the District, and always had its welfare at heart. Easily approachable, the Commissioners ever felt that they had a friend who would do his utmost to further the interests of the Dis- trict. Personally s ing, he was a man in the truest sense of the term, kind, considerate, with always a pleasant word for everybody, and he has left behind him many friends who will deeply mourn his loss.” Commissioner Webb said that his death was asad biow to the District; that while he had been a member of the House of Representa- tives he was always ready and willing to give his services to the District, and had rendered valuable aid to the Commissioners, and that his death was deeply mourned or him, because of his personal relations, which were always of 8 most friendly nature. Commissioner Raymond said that his rela- tions with Mr. Townshend had always been of 6 most friendly, and that his death would be & severe blow to the District, ANXIOUS FOR BAIL. But the Doctor Attending the Wounded Man Fails to Appear. To-day in the Police Court Mr. Campbell Carrington renewed his application for bail in the case of Everett Hubbard, the member of the Governor’s Guard, of Annapolis, who is charged with shooting a colored man, named Champ Evans, in the “Division,” last Monday. Bail was refused the other day, because of the dangerous condition of the injured man. As published at the time the bullet entered the injured man’s heart. It is supposed to have passed through his lung and lodged in the shoulder. The attending physician, Dr. Fran- cis, performed a successful operation on the patient Thursday afternoon and extracted the ball. Yesterday moraing it was reported that the patient was very low and the court de- clined to ra bail. A subpena was issued for the doctor appear and give some infor- mation concerning the condition of the injured man, Mr. Carrington insisting that it took too long a time to obtain the information, and he —— that the prisoner should be admitted to bail unless some showing was made within a reasonable time. Prosecuting Attorney Arms told of his visite tothe house of the injured man, and said that he had endeavored to have Dr. Francis here this morning. The subpoena had not been re- turned, but he thought that the doctor would during the da; probably aj ry. Ju Miller thought that the doctor should have been here, and assured Mr. Carrington that some action would be taken by the court . afternoon whether the doctor appeared or no! eee Capt.

Robert Rawles, the colored driver of a “‘night- | ™ line” hack, appeared before the Police Court this morning and charged a middle-aged white woman named Ruth Graham with refusing to pay $2.50 hack hire, The woman claimed that she was a Baltimore dressmaker, and said she wanted to return to that city. She said that she had no home. but lived from place to place where she found employment. She claimed that she paid the driver $1.50, but he denied that she had paid him anything. He said that he picked her up on the street about 11 o'clock last night. She said that late for ber to go to the hotel, and employed him to drive her about the city until morning. During the night he purchased ber a bottle of whisky, and she gave him a drink, During her ride about the city her foot man- aged to get through the glass, causing €4.50 | ¥' damage. When snow begun falling this morn- —— driver suggested that she had better to her hotel. She insisted that it was tooearly, and told him that she would pay him if he would take her to his house, give her some- thing to eat, and permit her to remain there until noon. ‘He took her to his home, got his wifeto start the fire, and was going to get ber breakfast ready. Before leaving the house he told her that he was going to the stable, and asked her to settle tue bill before he left. “I haven't got any money,” she said. Then she asked to be taken to an Avenue saloon, where she could get the money. Before arriv- ing there she changed her mind and told him that she could get no money. He then drove her to a police station. Judge Miller informed the driver that he would not assist him in col- lecting any such bill. A person, he said, who would pic up on the street and drink whisky with her, and drive about the streets all night, deserves no consideration, and the court will never give judgment in favor of a driver in any such case. ee ALEXANDRIA.
