THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D.C THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1890 WHAT CAUSED THE *SCUSSION. Troubie at a Meeting of the ‘‘Rational Sons of Abraham.”” | Judge Miller was called upon in the Police Court yesterday afternoon to settle a trouble | that recently occurred in the temple of the \. Rational Sons of Abraham.” According to the | case presented Brother Cornelius Burkley was on trial charged with violating one of the rules of the order. In that trial Ed. Moton was pros- ecuting attorney on one side and another brother was represented as holding the same | position on the other, Special Policeman | Luke Smith, colored, was called in to settle the | affair and he appeared as the defendant in the case presented to Judge Miller. “Brother Moton,” as he styled himself, said that his opponent wanted witnesses sworn on teel while he wanted them sworn on the Bible. That caused the **'scussion” and raised all the | trouble. “What is the name of the order?” asked the t. “Rational Sons of Abraham,” he replied. “What did the other prosecuting attorney mean by being sworn on steel?” asked the judge. “Did he mean a razor?” “+I dunno. | “But jedge,” said the old man, “the other | attorney’ only got one eye and he can't see good. aid the “If you are the sons of Abraham court. “what were the women doing in the meeting? “Oh, we's de sisters,” interrupted one of the females, Judge Miller acquitted the “attorney gen- erals” and told them they had better adopt new rules in the future. ; —— THE WASHINGTON PRESBYTERY. An Overture in Favor of a Shorter Creed—Rev. E. D. Bailey Admitted. At the session of the Washington City Pres- bytery held in the New York Avenue Church rday afternoon Rev. Dr. Bittinger was ‘hosen commissioner to the general assembly, and Rev. Mr. McIlvaine alternate. Of the elders Mr. Wm. Ballantyne and Mr. F. B. Dalrymple were nominated, and the latter was elected commissioner and the former alternate. Dur- ing the election Rey. Mr. Ramsdell offered a resolution in favor of the adoption of a gen- eral creed for all Protestant and Reformed churches throughout the world. It read as follows: “That this presbytery overtures the general assembly to invite the co-operation of the Presbyterian and Reformed Churches of America and of Great Britain, of Ireland and of the continent to formulate s short and sim- ple creed. couched so far as may be in scrip- tural language, and containing all the essential and necessary articles of the Westminster con- fession, which creed shall be submitted for ap- proval and adoption as the common creed of the Presbyterian and Reformed Churches of the world.” REV, F. D, BAILEY ADMITTED. The application of Rey. E. D. Bailey of the Central Union Mission for admission to the presbytery was the signal for quite a little out- burst of opposition. His letter, which was dated two years back, was from Geneva June- tion, Wis., “and stated that Mr, Bailey was a member of the Elgin Association of Congrega- tional Churches, Rev. Dr. Chester moved that action on his appheation be postponed until the fall meeting of the presbytery. He said that the letter had been kept two years before being presented; that Mr. Bailey had made nn- warranted and slanderous charges against a Presbyterian church of this city; that he had charged that one church had admitted a mem- ber who was so bad that his own church had | refused to give him « letter of dismissal and that he had claimed that no Mason could ever be a Christian, After a number of arguments had been presented on either side of the question esterday clected | Mr. Bailey was subjected to a rigid examina- tion, in which he answered the charges made against him with such effect that he was admit- ted to the presbytery by a vote of 19 to 3. TO DIVIDE WITH METHODISTS. It was decided to appoint a committee to confer with the presiding elder of the Meth- odist church in the District with reference to the allotment of territory for work in towns too small to support two churches.

In the literary and musical exercises Misses Clara and Willie Hurlebus, Dr. Kate Barstow, Mrs. De- neal, Frank A. Harrison, J. L. Yager, Mrs. A. Kalstrom and Miss Emma Barstow took part.

This evening the lodge intends to visit Independent Lodge, Georgetown. The meeting of Columbia Lodge of Good Templars attracted a large number of visitors from other lodges. Miss Landon, Mr. Murry, Grand Chief Templar Kalstrom, Mr. F. L. Harries, P. G, ir. A. H. Frear, Mr. Jones and Grand Secretary Mr. Spurgeon took part in the “Good of the order” exercises, The Party Wall Question, To the Editor of Tue Evgnsxo Stan, Was there ever anything more unamerican than the idea, put forth in the “easement” claim, that a man’s land is not his own? ‘That his neighbor has the right to encroach upon him on both sides of his lot to the extent of half the thickness of the wail that is to be built? Ordinarily walls are 9, 14 and 18 inches thick, Suppose on either side of @ 20-foot lot the neighbors desired to erect one of the modern fourteen-story buildings requiring walls three or four feet thick. If the neighbors have a right to encroach four and @ haif inches they have a right to encroach 18 inches, or even more. On this line of argument the logical sequence would naturally be that the said neighbors could take the whole lot. One hardly believes that the Supreme Court would be willing to establish such a precedent, for if such a law was right in one part of the country it should be right over the whole terri- tory of the United States, and if such a law was declared valid by that tribunal I do not think it would be respected nor gain respect for the court, If individuals desire for economy to build party walls in common, then all core| fers good, ‘There cannot pomibiy be ay neitian. to that. But seeing that this has mu the practice here it would seem well for Congress to pass some law for the protection of all, for those who have already committed themselves or urchased land thus tailed, and for the better protection of those who do not desire | any such entailment or “easement,” Ina free country it would seem that the owner of a piece of tand should control, at least so faras building thereon is concerned, ali that he owns. i hors By meen ning = claimed, is in the in- lerest of economy. Suppose we carry the idea into all the walks of life. If it is once admitted that the public can enforce economy upon the iudividua! in one thing it can in all things, and the majority could dictate, to its fullest extent, its interpretation of its economic ideaz, N. DANGER AT THE CROSSING. Narrow Escape From a Horrible Death at 9th Street and Virginia Avenue. Two colored men and two horses narrowly escaped meeting violent deaths this morning on account ofan unprotected grade crossing at Virginia avenue and 9th street southwest, on the Baltimore and Potomac railroad. Ninth street is a much traveled thoroughfare, and early in the morning, before 7 o'clock, there are many bread, beer and freight wagons pass- ing over the unguarded tracks at that point. Several ,accidents have occurred there, even later in the day, when there is a gateman on duty. The company do not seem to deem it necessary to havea gateman on duty early in the morning or late at night. This morning a beer wagon drawn by two horses and in which two colored men were seated was going along 9th street when the Alexandria local train due here at 6:25 came around the bridge and up Virginia avenue, The heavy beer wagon was rattling over the cobblestone pavement and the noise it made wes louder than that made by the approaching train. The driver was watching the gates at the time and as they were not lowered his horses continued at a slow gait to cross the tracks, Fortunately for the colored men and horses the engineer was at- tending to his business and he saw the danger and blew his whistle and reversed his engine, The wagon was nearly half way across the track and would have been struck full in the side had not the engineer succeeded in bringing the train to a stop within ten or fifteen feet of the crossing. . Several persons residing on Virginia avenue saw the occurrence and all were of the same opinion—that the tracks should be guarded by watchmen ail the time, as trains are continually passing and the lives of citizens are endangered thereby. —_—>___ The Wisconsin School Law. ‘To the Editor of THE EVENING Brar: In an editorial in Tuesday's issue Tur Star says concerning the Bennett school law of Wisconsin: “It renders compulsory the at- tendance for a certain period upon the public schools, over which the government has control, and as a relaxation of this rule of com- pulsion it permits the substitution for the publie schools of private schools which teach certain elementary English branches.” While this state- ment is literally correct, it creates a wrong im- pression by ig the circumstances under which the law bas no force. Some of them are xs follows: (1.) Inability to senda child to school, (2) Previous attendance on school for the required period. (3.) Suitable proficiency in the required branches—reading, writing, arithemetic aid United States history in the English language. (4.) Physical or mental conditions which render attendance on school impracticable or inexpedient, (5.) At- tendance on & private or parochial school where the necessary English instructions is given. (This covers home instruction of the requisite quantity and quality.) (6.) An ex- cuse furnished by the school board for reasons satisfactory to it (the board). The law does not take the education of the child out from the control of the parent; it does not remove the child from the church school and compel attendance on the public school; it simply says that, somehow and somewhere, the child must acquire the minimum amount of educa- tion, in the secial, commercial and legal lan- guage of this country, which will enable him in after years to perform, intelligently, the du- ties of an American citi; Bavcer.

It contains a number of original portraits and busts of distinguished historical personages in civil and military life, including the full length likeness of Lincoln, by Mr. W. T. Matthews, which has won so many encomi- ums wherever shown; Mrs, Morrell’s two well known historical paintings, and many other canvases of more or less importance.

An invention which fully demonstrates American ingenuity and enterprise is the wonderful musical instrument in its marvel- ons state of perfection, now attained, known as the Folian, now on exhibition at Droop’s music store, Europe has produced many raisewortiy automatic musical instruments, ut none that can in any respect be compared with this instrument. While the Holian is automatic im action it is entirely under the control of the performer and is capable of the most delicate shadings of tempo and expres- sion, The tone is not like # piano or organ, but resembles more than anything else a small well-trained orchestra, fhe special feature of the Eolian, however, is ite adaptation to render classical and operatic music. Such pieces as Battiste’s ‘Communion in G” and Beethoven's “Fifth Symphony” can be played with great fecling and perfection, while overtures, ballads and dance music can be performed with remarkable execution and finish. It is well worth an examination, —— When Town Marshal England and a deputy sheriff attempted to arrest a crowd of colored men at Irondale the crowd fired upon them, wounding the marshal, The deputy thereupon shot three of the colored men.

Policeman John Geaghan was doing duty along the wharves between 7th street and the Long Bridge this morning when his attention was attracted to one of Benson & McNee’s pumping machines, which scemed to be on fire. The machine was being used in connection with the work of dredging the river and im- proving the flats, The woodwork of the ma- chine was thoroughly saturated with the oil used about the machinery, and it was, there- fore, but a few minutes after the fire started before the whole structure was in flames, There was a watchman on board the machine at the time and he had to hurry away in a small t to prevent his being burned to death. Fortunately for him the boat was where he could reach it without being cut off from it by the flames, but he was slightly scorched, Officer Geaghan turned in an alarm from box No. 416. The fire engines responded promptly, andthe hose of No.4 company was put on board a tug boat that was lying at the wharf, id, with a number of firemen, was taken within fighting distance of the fire. Streams of water were soon playing on the burning craft, but the flames had such headway that it Was almost entirely destroyed. The four up- rights, a part of the boiler and smokestack and some pieces of iron chain were all that was left above the water's edge. The machine was val- ued at $30,000, and it is thought that the dam- age was within a few hundred dollars of that amount, ee SE Charles H. Dixson, formerly deputy county treasurer at East Saginaw, Mich., who was re- cently arrested in Chicago on a charge of em- bezzlement, was sentenced to five years’ im- prisonment at hard labor in the state prison, The famous seveuth regiment, New York state guard, will be invited to be present and take part in the exercises incident to the un- veiling of the Lee monument in Richmond on the 29th of May.
