6 CHRISTIANS AT WORK. Great Interest the Session Held This DELEGATES TELL OF GOOD WORK DONE AT THE VA- RIOUS MISSIONS—HOW THE POOR ARE TAUGHT TO HELP THEMSELVES—THE RESCUE VOLUX- ‘TRERS AND WHAT THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED. ‘There was a large attendance this morning at the convention of Christians at Work at the Congregational Church. In the audience were a number of the pastors of the various Washing- ton churches, and they appeared to take the closest interest in the papers read and addresses made at the convention. ‘The session this morning was opened witha evotional service by Miss Catherine Gurney of England, and she was followed by Rev. 8. P. Holcombe of Detroit, Mich., im an address on the Central Gospel Mission of that city. THE DETROIT CENTRAL MISSION. Mr. Holcombe said that the Central Union was indireetly, if not directly, the re- sult of the convention that was held in Detroit ‘two years ago. He said that the building that ‘was occupied by the mission. when he was called to take charge of it was too large. He looked around to find a location better adapted in size and nearer to the class of people it was de- sired to reach. Two small stores were taken and the board partition between them knocked out Then services were begun there and now services are heldevery evening and at noon as well. ‘The noonday meetings have proved to be a success. Every day there are from ty to thirty poor sinners who come in and MISS BERTHA WRIGHT. get the pare, unadulterated gospel, and during summer there was scarcely a day that at least three mer. did not rise up and ask to prayed for. In addition to this poor men are hand. He then went on tospeak what could be done by each. THE BETHESDA MISSION. Mra. J. P. Hall told of the work of the Bethesda Mission at Sth and Vine streets, Philadelphia. This is in a crowded and much traversed part of the city and the mission, which is visited by from 300 to 500 je every evening, isina a had hitherto been occupied as asaloon. From this mission dur- ing the past two years three branches have en started as a result of the converts made at Bethesda. One in lower Wall street, New York, was started by a traveling salesman, wh@ had been accustomed to get drunk in'every big city from New York to San Francisco. He chanced to come into Bethesda on one occasion when getting over a debauch and was reformed. In commemoration of this important event he had founded this little mission. Mr. J. F. Barclay of Atlanta, Ga, gave a re- port of the progress of the mission work in that southern city ard described a number of con- \d been brought about through bors of the mission workers. He invited the conventiou to hold | in Atlanta and promised to | welcome. All travelers who go thro | should hunt up the Marietta Street Mi | they would receiv. warm reception. At the close of this brief talk from Mr. Bar- clay a number of prayers were offered up in behalf of the various missions that had | described during the morning, and Mr. and Mrs. Baker of New York, the blind singers, sang the hymn, “Bear the Cross.” IN BEHALF OF INTEMPERATE MEX. Hohn. John G. Woolley spoke at some length on the work of the Rest Island National Mis- sion for Intemperate Men. After speaking in- terestingly of the causes that had led him to take his part in the work Mr. Woolley remarked that it was no more difficult to get a drunken man accept Christ and reform his habits than itis to know what to do with him after heis saved. A man who has reformed is cast right back into the line of temptation and the people who make the saloons lawful in this land ought to be very tender in their criticism of a reformed drunkard who falls back into his old life. Mr. Woolley said that while he did not wish to be finding fault with churebee, for he regarded them as the hope of the land, yet for the drunkard the average church is s sort of cold storage and this clase of people do not keep well on ice. Kest Island mission isa pace that has been established neat Minneapo'is and St. Parl, where men who are trying te give up liquor or who are geitirg over @ devauch may | come and rest Net mzch preaching is driven into them, as Mr Wooiler said be bad not | mech faith in man-made Christians. There no charge for staying at the mission, occupants must live up to a few simple rules. They must not use profanity nor tobacco, they must attend the morning and evenirg Bible ing. After staying awhile at Rest Island, which occu- pies abcut 400 acres the men go away fresh and strong, with their muscles med and a them a heart; fo through Atlanta jon and Supplied with food and lodging As a rule they are helped to help themselves and when poor people apply for assistance they are Riven some light work to do and they feel mueh better when they realize that they have earned what they have asked for. Mr. Holcombe described the methods that are used in Central Union Mission in Detroit of a committee, the chair- man of which was Mr. T.S. Anderson, a rich and busy man, but a man with a vast deal more of Christianity than of wealth. His brief ad- dress was followed bya short discussion, all the speakers agreeing that while it was a good idea to start paupers to work, yet it was not Tight to expect them to do 25 cents’ worth of work in return for a 15-cent meal and then to brag about what a splendid mission is being TO GAR! FALLEN women. “Work Ames? Discharged Female Prison- ers” was the # oct of an interesting talk by Miss Zincan of £_Snto. Canada. She said tl her work for Yes most part consisted in visit- ing the women > prison and holding services there twice a @wk.and then to look out for them when they left the prisons to see that sit- tations were provided for them. only way to save fallen women, said Miss Zincan, is to surrouzd them with an atmos- phere of love. In order to better care for these REY. § M. HOLcomne. women they had established in Toronto a Home of Rest where discharged prisoners were cared for. In connection with this refuge was started an employment bureau, and from the first they have had splendid success in getting women established in situations. Notwithstanding the fact that the character of these women was well known people were satisfied to take them into their families. As a result there have been many cases of reformation. As yet this mis- sien was in ite infancy and it was impossible to say on what particular lines it might develop. To women who fall from grace this home of Tefuge is still open, and drunken and vicious women may come back for seventy times seven Col H M_ Hedley of the St. Bartholomew Mission of New York gave a brief report of the Progress of that mission. It was founded about nine months ago for the purpose of reaching the poor of the east side. It has been most sueceseful and has already gone into larger quarters, which are tc be opened on the of thix month. The new home is at the corner of Third avenue and 42d street and is fitted up with all sorts of convenient and at- ‘twactive features. THE CANAL STREET wIsKI0%. ‘Mrs. J. D. Cutter spoke for a few minutes on the work of the Canal Street Mission and asked the thanks of the convention to God for the wonderful way in which he had an- gwered the prayers of the convention for that mission. For a long time she had worked there alone. until she became almost discour- aged, for ae was really afraid to stay there any longer. Unexpectedly not long tiiere came ® check for $10,000 from “a gentleman for the support and broadening ©f the work of the mission. There were enly two restrictions upon the gift, one that the donor's name should be kept unknown and the other that the money should be intrusted te @ committee of Buffalo business men This latter clause had the effect of winning friends to the mission work, and now 4 large number Qf Prominent people in the city are friends of the work. It has prospered in its work and now has more power to do good than ever L. P. Tibbles of New York took for the of his talk the use and value of tracts, told of ® number of cases where reforms WERE BOTS TOGETHER. greater willingness to work. The place is ex- pected to be self-supporting before very long, and it is confidently counted upon to support 200 men without contritutions from outside. If a man leaves the place and fails he is welcome to come back again and again, and may ever feel that Rest Island is his home as long as he wants to be clean. The mission is on an island in Lake Pepin, a widening out of the Mississippi river about fifty miles below St. Paul. Air. Woolley caid that the mission was still in its infancy and possibly tt might yet fail, but so far its work has been crowned with success and its prospects are very brig! ity The home is called national because ite tes have come from all parts of the country and all are made equally and may stay as long as they wish and feel that they are receiving good from eir stay. At the close of Mr. Woolley’s address prayers aakidga Maaiag apes Sit wack dana oleead by Rev. Dr. T. S. Hamlin of the Church of the Covenant and a number of others. THE RESCUE VOLUNTEERS. The last business of the morning was a short report of progress of the Rescue Volunteers, made by Col. H. H. Hadley of New York. He described the work of the Rescue One Volun- teers, who pledge themselves to work for a year in trying to reform one drunkard. Inthe past two years 12,000 people -have taken this pledge and the greatest amount of good is ac- complished in this personal sort of work. ‘The morning session closed at noon with the doxology and the benediction, pronounced b; Dr. Kelly of the Fourth Presbyterian Chureh of this city ‘1HE AFTERNOON PROGRAM.

Arguing the Question of Ownership of the Kock Creek Mines. GOING OVER MUSTY OLD GRANTS AND PATENTS BEFORE THE COURT IN GENERAL TERM—ROYAL PREROGATIVES AND “ROYAL MINES”—ARGU- ‘MENTS BY MESSRS. TAGGART AND LAMBERT. The interesting question as to the ownership of the gold mines claimed to exist in the Rock Creek Park, and incidentally of all the gold and silver which the rocks and soil of Mary- land and the District may hold to tempt pros- pectors, came up before the Court in General Term today. Before the commission appointed to appraise the lands included in the limits of Rock Creek Park considerable testimony was taken as to the character and value of gold de- posits on the lands of Messrs. Truesdell and Shoemaker, it being contended that these mines should be paid for if the gov- ernment took the lands. The representatives of the government, however, at the close of the hearing moved to strike out this testimony, taking the ground, which surprised many, that an examination of the record showed’ that these mines belonged already to the United States. The motion came before the court to- day forargument. Chief Justice Bingham and Justices Cox and “James were on the berch. When the court opened District Attorney Cole and Assistant Attorney Taggart and Mr. Perry of the managing commission were present to represent the government and Messrs. Jere M. Wilson, James Coleman and T. A. Lambert to represent the property owners interested. The counsel tables were filled with shiny silk hats and rows of formidable looking legal volumes, signs that a royal legal battle was imminent. been given precedence over others on the calendar because the court recognized tke importance of clearing away the obstacles that at present prevent the —_— commis- sion from completing its work. WHAT THE GOVERNMENT CLAIMS. ‘The hearing was upon the motion made by the representatives of the United States to strike from the record before the Rock Creek Park appraising commission all testimony taken on behalf of the defendants—Truesde! and Shoemak>r—in regard to the existence of gold mines upon their lands. The ounds for the motion set forth in ‘RE Star at the time it was made are summed up in the brief prepared by the solicitors for the United States, District Attorney Cole, Mr. R Perry of the managing and Assistant District Attorney Tag art. The claim made is that the motion should be granted for the reason that the title to such mines, if any exist, is in the United States, the title ‘of the United States being traced from the King of England as lord paramount. It is held that any allowance to the owners for an increased value for their lands by rea- gon of such mines would simply be making the United States pay for whut is already its own. Of course this view and these ussertions are disputed by the counsel for Messrs. Truesdell and Shoemaker. ‘The solicitors for the United States in their brief trace the title from the grant of the lands embraced in Maryland made ry commission Charles I to Lord Baltimore in consideration of = yearly payment of two Indian arrows and 8 fifth part of all gold and silver which shall happen to be found in the limits described. The Shoemaker and Truesdell lands, it is claimed, fall within tracts granted by ‘patents of the proprietaries of the province of Maryland, one Todumes White, dated March 18, 1772, one to John Powell, May 16, 1734, and one to’ Thomas Fletchall and les Beull, December 10, 1715. These patents, from which it is claimed the rights of rs. Shoemaker and Truesdell are derived, show an exception and reservation in each case to the proprietary of “royal mines.” This reserved interest in the mines, it is claimed, was vested in Henry Harford as pro- rietary of the province, at the revolution and [sateen fn the ntate by the confisce- tion acts passed by its legisiature in 1' the rights of the king becoming vested in the state by the events of the revolu- tion. The property rights of the state in the soil, including the mines, it is asserted, passed'to the United States when the state ceded to the government of the United States the territory included within the limits of the Dis- trict by the act of Maryland of December 19, 1791. ‘MR. HUGH TAGGART’S ADDRESS. ‘When the case was called Mr. Taggart rose, put on his glasses, took a copy of the govern- ment brief in his hand and began to address the court. The testimony in relation to gold on these lands, he understood it, was taken to adduce two things—first, the actual existence of these mines and second that there wasa prospect of gold there, both of which things, it was claimed, the appraising commission should consider in determining the value of the lands. He referred to the motion to strike out 16-156 this testimony by the government and_re- | Bi 19-154 marked that all that could be said in behalf of 20—153 the motion had been set out succinctly in the ng 18—144 government's brief, which he read. The pro- | Lieut. Graham. 16-144 vision le in grant by Charles 1 he | Pvt. Rollins. 17-141 claimed specifically included ‘all veins, mines | Lieut. Stewart 17-140 and quarries, for otherwise, he’ said, 16—139 by the practice of the time the 16—137 mines would have been _ considered 16—137 asexcepted. Mr. Taggart read from certified 1134 copies obtained from Annapolis the three 16--130 tents referred to in the brief under which it claimed Messrs. Truesdell and Shoemaker derived rightand title showing that the patents specifically excluded “royal mines.” Kegard- ing the question as to what was meant by “royal mines,” Mr. Taggart said Blackstone classes the king's right to mines as a branch of the royal revenue and says that it has its origin in the King's prerogative of coinage, and in order to supply him with material, and that “therefore those mines which are properly royal and to which the king is entitled when found are only those of silver and gold.” Discussing the other steps by which the title was traced Mr. Taggart said that the Maryland confiscation acts referred to had come before the U century and had been held to be sufticient for the accomplishment of its purpose. Mr. Tag- read also the Maryland confiscation acts passed in 1780, one of which especially named as confiscated the lands of the lord proprietary, at that time Henry Hurford. He read the decision of the Supreme Court | in the case of Smith against the state of Mary- land, rej in 6 Cranch, to show that the confiscation acts had completely divested the British subject of all right and title. He main- tained thatit was clear, by tracing - title through the various acts, patents and grants, thet these mines did ‘net’ belong to the indt. vidual owners. It was not important here to consider to whom they did belong. ‘Mr. Taggart used up what was left of the ing session after the court had finished ited States Supreme Court early in this | P Igwing: ‘The king’s right to mines of is classed among the jura made by him the subject of regalia as attached to the and sil guts ‘son of the king in Sageed eroer i etinch ty Be heahy the revolution all the lanas w) the i of royalty where the lands have become the of an individual the government's it over them is : © prerogutive of royal mines is not ‘vs. Catellaro, 2 Black., 17; Fremont vs. 17 Howe, 542. ‘HE ORIGINAL PATENT.

It might, he said, save some argument to present at first,one of the muniments of title which the government had overlooked. He then read with some diffi- culty, as the writing was dim, from the old document he held in his hand, which was the original patent given by the chancellor of the state of Maryland March 14, 1803, to Robert Peter, esq., then a resident of the District of Columbia. Tt embraced, he said, 494 acres and included all the property now under consideration ex- cept about twenty acres. This, he said, was an of Maryland absolute conveyanee by the state without any reservation whatever. “What was the date?” asked the chief justice. 1808," said Mr. Lambert. “Subsequent to the act of cession,” remarked Mr. Cole. “Certainly,” said Mr. Lambert.
