A Bishop Criticizes Workers in the African M. EK. Vineyard. Cucaco, Sept. 6.—There was a lively time at last evening's session of the African Metho- dist Episcopal Zion Church conference. The church steward complained bitterly that many ministers were not turning s proper amount into the eral fund, “although they don’t fail to collect their own salaries.” He named three rs and an uproar followed. After much talk the presiding bishop, Lowax, took the floor and scored the delinquents. He added: “Unless you allcollect and pay in your proportion to the general fund, you will compel me to leave some of you at home and get younger men who perhaps cannot preach as well to take your places, The difficulty with colored ministere is that they tog often preach about what they do not understand. They take somebody's book and write from it a long sermon, and they stand up and read firstly, thirdly and twenty-second! faaghter and shouts of ‘That's it']—and finally your long- winded sermon blows out of the window; your congregation is aslvep; there is no interest in the church and you collect no money. You should not borrow too long-winded classical sermons. Leave that to the Lip Saree white ministers. Preach something that you under- stand and you will have no difficulty in hav- ing good congregations who will ARAL erally to the church, But you ink it all right so long us you find somebody to sit up andsay ‘Amen,’ even if they do not under- stand what you are saying and you do not un- derstand it yourself, If you cannot manage your churches you should go at something else. Get a mule and go to plowing.” [Voice you are talking,” and deegiaen langhter. Several ministers wished te reply, but Bishop Lomax declared the conference adjourned un- til today. a FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA. Several Losses by the Burning of Stor- age Houses. Parapetrnta, Sept. 6.—Fire broke out early this morning in the store house of Hoffman & Co., door, sash and blind manufacturers at 1414 Wood street, and before it was extin- guished the entire building was de- stroyed and the flames spread to adjoining property, doing _altogether damage to the amount of $60,000. The build- ing in which the fire broke out was packed with inflammable material and the fire department could do nothing with it. When it was seen that the sash place must go the firemen di- rected all their energies to saving the adjoin- ing buildings, Despite their utmost efforts the fiames spread to Industrial Hall, a large _ three-story brick building, facing on Broad street and connecting in the rear with the Wood street properties and for a time it looked as if that place would also be completely gutted. After four hours’ hard work the firemen got the fire under control, but not before’ $60,000 had gone up in smoke. Hoffman & Co.'s lowe will be $30,000, fully covered by insur- ance, Industrial Hall, which is owned by R. 8. Dobbins, was damaged by fire and water to the oxtent of $25,000; fully insured.

Waters Convinces the Jury of His Mental Unsoundness. In the Circuit Court room this morning San- diford W. Waters, a well-known builder of Georgetown, was before a jury summoned under a writ de lunatico inquirendo. This is the second inquiry asto Mr, Waters’ sanity, the first, held last July, resulting after & four days’ examination in a finding that he was sane. He became an inmate of St, Elizabeth's Hospital April 23, 1888, but was, at the in- stance of his wife, released May 9, 1888, he having in the meantime become much im- proved. The following January he went over to the hospital and asked to be admitted and they took him in. On July 22 last, after a four di xamination he was decided to be sane was released about 1 o’¢lock that day. At 8 o'clock the next evening Mr. Waters went back to the pospiit and saw Dr. Godding, to whom he said that he was not competent: to look out for himself and asked to be held in custody. He was thereupon taken in and there was an understanding between Dr. Godding and the patient that he should not ask to be discharged pending the confirmation of tho finding of July last. The authorities, hav- ing no legal right to detain him. these new proceedings were instituted, and this marine: Assistant Attorney M. N. Richardson appeare for the District and Mr, A. A. Birney for the alleged lunatic, ‘THE TESTIMONY TODAY. Drs. Steck and Patterson testified to the facts of the insane delusions of Waters and said that in their opinion Waters was a fit sub- ject for the hospital. Officer Frank testified that some months since Waters came to him and stated that he could not manage his affairs and he wanted a permit for the hospital, saying it was the aly place for him and he gave itto him. He hai seen some of his letters, and from them as well as his talk he had no hesitancy in saying that he wasinsane and that he should be in the hospital. Mr. osha said the purpose wns to arrive at the knowledge of the truth and he knewno better way of aiding the jury than to put Mr. Waters on the stand, MR, WATERS’ OWN TESTIMONY SETTLES THE CASE. Mr. Waters testified that he had been in busi- ness in Georgetown from 1864 to January, 1889, when he went to the hospital. Here he asked to be put undor oath, and, tak. ing the oath, continued. He said that in April, 1888, he was taken out of his house by Officer Riley and another person and taken to the sta- tion; remained all night and in the morning asked for breakfast and an officer gave him corn cakes. flo remained till 2 o'clock, During the day several persons called and asked if he knew them and ho auswered them. His wife then came down and asked if he wanted to go to the hospital, which was the first he heard of the hospital, and Mr. Craig spoke Up, saying they had a permit. He said that if he had to go they would have to talk to him, and they took him there, Ho then described his treatment thero—one whole week in the strong cell being tied with cords to the head and foot of the bed. Ho said that his wife tried to force him to persuade his uncle to make a will and he then branched off on family affairs, in which he spoke of his brother _ having been stolen and of his difficulties in getting an education. ‘Just to think, he said, “of a state like Virginia passing a law imposing a fine. of 5 for selling # spelling book.” He then spoke of his business, asserted that the Knights of Labor had conspired against him and steog at his gate ready to kill fim and that the pope had sent word to Cardinal McCloskey to have him crushed. This was enough for the jury and on closing his testimony he was adjudged insane, . pees Jr adi Thanked Him for Sending Her to Jail. Judge Mills made one person happy today. That individual was a colored woman named Charlotte Becker, who is more than pleased because the goverument is going to feed her for a month free of charge, and sho is satisfied with that treatment even if it is in the county jai Charlotte was in South Washington this morning quict and pence- able, but she objected to Special Ofticer Red- mond’s making an arrest, an i “Ten dollars or thirty days’ Mills said after hearing the testi you, Judge,” shouted the woman, 'm satisfied, I can live and have a good time that long.” —— A Fight on the Oyster Wharf. James Reeves and Wm. Faunce, who have business about the oyster wharf, hada fight there yesterday, and Reeves was arrested by Officer Treadwell, Ench, said that the other was drank.

There was a robbery committed on the prem- ises of Commissioner Douglass last night, and the Commissioner was at police headquarters bright and early this morning to report the facts, The thieves, it is supposed, were small boys looking for anything they could pick up about the yard. They climbed over the back fence, with the assistance of some old steps, and secured two table cloths that had been used for a long time and an old skirt that belonged to one of the servants. The articles had been left on the grass to bleach. Detective Raff was sent to investigate the caso, but the suppor left no evidence bebi: ed youthful thieves em. i Cruelly Beat Her Children. A neatly dressed colored woman, named Bertba Day, was i the Police Court today for cruelly beating her two children, the charge against ber being assault. Her children, a boy and a girl, less than seven years old, were the alleged victims of her ill treatment. They were neatly dressed and looked as though they had been well cared for, but there was no doubt about the woman's brutality toward them, as several of her neighbors ap- cere as witnesses and described how she at her young once with a piece of clothes- line and that the whippings were of frequent | eccurrence, The woman told Judge Mills that she though: she had a right to correct ber chil- | dren and the judge told her that she had such | tight. He, however, told her that she must | not correct them in brutal manner. If the offense is repeated the judge said she would be deprived of her children. She told the judge that he had better take themnow. The court, however, was not so inclined and im- sed a fine of $10 or thirty days in jail. hile she is paving the penalty the police will see that the children are cared for. ita dts ALEXANDRIA, Reported for Tae Evexixa Stan. - Pourticat.—Republican ward meetings will held next week to elect delegates to the con- gressional district convention, which will moet at Manassas on the 17th instant, There is con- siderable interest in the convention, for its action will determine whether Hon.

Plans tor Three Great Battle Ships and « Swift Three-Screw Cruiser. The plans and specifications for the three great battle ships and the swift three-screw cruiser to be built for the navy, bids for which are to be opened Octo- ber 1, ave just been completed, by the bureaus of construction and steam engi- neering. The record made in the case of these plans has been something unequaled. The preliminary discussion of the gen- eral charactoristics of the vessels was began about a week before the first of July, but all of the actual work of design- ing, planning, drawing, calculating, verifying, copying and printing’ on these specifications, which “relate to a project that will cost 215,000,000, has been done within the st nine weeks, with a short force in both ureaus. Such a record as this is quite unsur- passed in any naval designing bureaus in the world, and reflects great credit upon the men who have labored to thisend. In neither of the bureaus was a single leave of absence granted during the nine woeks and considera- ble of the work wus done at night To Confer With Public Printer Palmer. President C, W.
