Ceremonies at the North Capitol M. E Church—Kev. Dr. Naylor's Address. Several hundred persons witnessed the laying of the corner stone of tho North Capitol M. E. Church yesterday afternoon. Among the largo crowd were many visiting Methodists who are attending the ecumenical conferonee. On the first-floor joiste of the building in course of coustruction was erected large stand for the ministers, This stand was draped with large American flags and seats were provided for about twenty. Near the stand was a place a ranged for the orchestra, which was led by Mr. Stratton of the ¥. M.C. A. Orchestra. A choir of thirty voices from the Gorsuch and the Fif- teenth Street churches was led by Mr. Edwara | Saxton of the North Capitol Church. ‘The services were opened by singing hymn No. 6, “Come Thou, Almighty King, Help Us Thy Name to Sing.” ‘The ritual service was read by Dr. H. R. Nay- lor, with responsive readings. The singing of the hymn, “This Stone to Thee in Faith to Lay, | followed and Rev. 8. Shannon of Grace Church | offered prayer. Bishop John P. Newman was expected to mako the address, but he declined, and Dr. Naylor filled that part of the program. In do- ing so he frequently alluded to the good work of the church and commended its members for the steps taken toward securing a new house of worship. He thought it was expressive of a ood man's prayer and thatit was being erected through prayer and the efforts of the Christian people with the help of God. It ix a place, he said, where burdens will be lifted and many hearts made giad. It isa place where the per- son who comes to preach must be a man of God and he must preach the word of God. He must not be an essayist,a lecturer or an enthusiast, as some are called. His mission must be the preaching of the word of God and the bringing of sinners to Christ. It is to be a Methodist Episcopal church, where the simple doctrines of onr father: believe them, are to be preached. “The Lord loveth a cheer- luded, “and may the Lord He said that the church was being erected ata cost of $18,000, and £12,000 had already been subscribed.

B., gave on Tuesday evening a “tin The entertainment, which at- tracted one of the largest audiences ever con- gregated in the hall of this post, was the initial ‘one of a series proposed by the post for the purpose of adding toa fund designed for the care and enjoyment of visiting comrades dur- ing the national encampment to be held here next year. The program of last evening was inaugurated by an addrese of welcome by Post Commander Major L. P. Williams, after which Miss Carrie Cook gave a very enjoyable piano solo.

One of the most enjoyable features of the program was the La- dies’ Banjo Club, Mr. E. L. Redfield, leader.

It was testified that the house was entered in the day time; that Detec- tives Mahon and Horne arrested the defendant in South Washington at the house of Priscilla Smothers and much of the property was re- covered: that she admitted being in the house with another girl, with whom she had been blackberrying, and the girl gave her the goods, some of which she had given to Priscilla, and the latter gave the watch to Rev. Frank Smith as security for a loan. The case was submitted without argument and a verdict of guilty returned in afew minutes. Priscilla Smothers was next tried for receiv- ing the stolen goods. Mr. E. M. Hewlett ap- ared for her and claimed that the girl Willisins was indebted to her and lett ‘the basket and clothes, saying that they were hers, and she had no knowledge that they were stolen. A verdict of guilty was found. The girl Williams and Priscilla wero each sentenced to three years in Albany penitentiary, in which Priscilla’s husband, Tom Smothers, is serving a sentence of thirty years for rape. —— ‘Three Slight Fires, Yesterday a pan of hot ashes set in the wood shed of 1522 P street northwest, occupied by KF.

The oyster-dredging season in the Ches- apeake bay begins today and the owners and captains of the dredging boats have been busy during the past few days getting ready for an early start today. The men who will operate on the bay are Baltimcreansand Phila- delphians principally, as but few of the bay oysters are sent here in the oyster boats, On account of the gross cruelty practiced on the dredgers of late years and the poor quality of food furnished by many of the captains some trouble is being experienced in getting enough men to do the work. The Baltimore shipping masters aro not getting as many men as they went, and when the time comes for those employed to go down the bay it is thought that many who have signed the con- tract will be missing. These men are paid portion of their money in advance, and those who deo not desert will spend the funds for such things as boots, oilskins, whisky and tobacco. ¢ Maryland law makes the necessary provis- ions for the protection of the oyster men, but even with such safeguards the stories of cruelty are too often repeated. Dredging in the Potomac will not begin un- til the 1st of November, and then the receipts of oyxters here will largely increase. Monday there were 4.500 bushels of oysters at the wharf, the largest day’#shipment received here this season. ‘The cold water in the lower Potomac has made the quality of the oysters improve considerably during the past few days and the inereased demand bas had the effect ot increasing the price of the bivalves. The quality regulates the price and the most inferior stock is selling at 40 and 50 cents a bushel, while the best in the market are brin, ing as much as $1.50, ———__— SOMETHING OF A SCARE. A Life-Saving Apparatus That Was Turned the Wrong Way. There are times when a life-saving apparatus can be used for purposes other than those for which it was invented and manufactured. A few days ago @ patentee of or a dealer in life- saving apparatus secured the use of the arsenal rifle range for awhfle in order that a new rope- shooting gun might be tested. Instead of having the gun at the upper end of the range and firiug it toward the river the testers planted the weapon near the targets, with its muzzle pointing in the direction of the city. The first shot was a success; it tore through the roof of the magnzine, more than a thousand yards away, and seriously disturbed a large supply of full-grown ammunition which wax stored therein. Before the results of the first shot became known the gun muzzle was given increased elevation and » second shell sent northward. This struck, house in South Washington and scared several people into hysterics. Then a steady bombardment com- menced, and before » messenger could be sent from the guard at the gate at ten dones of life-saving material had stirred up numerous incipient cases of heart disease and spoiled the appearance of two or three domiciles.
