THE QUFSTION oF NAIL. ‘This closed the testimony, and the question of bail was then discussed, und Mr. Kuhn asked that the bond be fixed at $1,000, as he thought that amount would insure his attendance.

Here, he said, is an officer who was paid to pro- tect the public, and he appears on the stree with malice toward all mankin ‘The temptation to abscond be great, aud he thought that in view of € Muller's condition the matter should be treated veriously. Judge Miller was of the samo opinion, and while dit was conceded that a man has a constitutional right to get drunk be alsa bas a constitutional right to take the consequences, TOLICEMEN WHO DRINK. “Here,” said the judge, ‘was a policeman paid to protect life and property and with a manual in his pocket which provides shall not drink, and yet he violated its pro- visiona. “If [had my way Lwould dismiss every police- man on whose brewh the fumes of liquor are discovered. “A man of that sort is no more fit to do police duty than be isto be a doorkeeper in eaven.” Mr. Kuhn expressed surprise that such young men should be appointed on the police force, but the jadge said he must have been qualified or else he would not have been appointed. “All a man bus to do to be eligible, marked the judge, “is to serve in the ar aweek.

In the Criminal Court, Judge Bradl morning the motion in the caso of Hilton, alias Miller, convicted of larceny from the person of Charles Deitz, was argued by Mr. Albert Sellers for the defendant. Mr. Sellers said that the evidence was circumstantial, aud as to the identifica tion by Mr. Mobley he presented an aftidavit of Joseph Fielding, who was in jail at the time, that Mr. Mobley identified him as the man, and that when Hilton was brought out he could not identify him. The court set aside the verdict and granted a new trial. In the case of Thomas Lawrence, who plead guilty of the ote sentence of one year i: the penitentiary was imposed. In the case of Gritin Burke, colored, con- vieted of larceny from the person—=3 from Smith Jackson—the motion for a new trial filed by Campbell Carrington was granted by Judge Bradiey today, and he was released on per- sonal recognizance. ee THE COURTS.

THE NEW A Hall Constructed Which Will Seat Several Hundred. The renders of Tne Stan will probably re- member that nearly two years ago an effort was made to organize an Episcopal congregation in the neighborhooi of Dupont Circle in the building which had formerly been known as the Church of the Holy Cross at the inter- section of Massachusetts avenue and 18th street. ‘The attempt then made failed, not through any luck of interest on the part of the persons en- gaged in the project, but for reasons arising in the ar parochial system governing the Fpiscopal church in this District, and the buildicg passed into the hands of the “New Church” or Swedenborgian persuasion. ‘The effort made had, however, demonstrated very plainly the need of an Episcopal church f the cify, and a syndicate und for church pur- inity of the old build- ing concluded to hold its property until further developments. In the spring of the present year the Rev. Dr. Douglas initiated a move- incnt for the formation of a new parish, and the rector and vestry of St. John’s having, in a large-hearted and generous manner, consented to part with a valuable section of their terri- tory, an application was made to the diocesan convention which met in May last, when new parochial limits were agreed upon and the formation of Calvary parish authorized. Zarly in June the first vestry was elected the Kev. J. A. Aspinwall, a near resident, well known and highly esteemed by y of his future congregation, was called as rector. Under his leadership money has been raised by subscriptions sufficient to buy out the in- terest of the land syndidate, an additional lot has been purchased and the “hall” of the new parish las been erected on the eastern end of the property, the vestry reserving unoceu- ied a lot 95 feet on 18th street by 110 feet on Madisor street for a site for the future perma- church building. ‘The present “Parish + is arranged for church services. The auditorium is 50x70 feet and will be pewed to provide seating for 440 persons. The arrangements for seating the —_con- gregution are excellent, there being five aisles, allowing space und passageway to every pew, doing away the necessity of pressing seated persons to reach the inner seats of each pew. The building will be heated by steam xo arranged as to be ander perfect control in mild weater, though equal during a “cold snap” to a building one-half larger than that to be heated. ‘The hall will be fully furnished, carpeted and cushioned throughout; an organ is being built which in tone and voice” will be the equal of any in the city.

Af the past year bas been one of unprece- dented harvests und, as such, has conferred in- estimable Leuefits upox cur long depressed ag- ricultural interests, it kas also been one of | check, reaction and dullness to mest of our manulacturing industries. Constituting as we | do an imseparable pert of the com-} munity of nations it has been impossi bie for us to wholly escape the effects of th European reaction that set in with the crash of the Barings. That great failure was but the culmination in the cute of x single house of a xystem of wild adventure and loose financing which had infected every money ceuter of the old world and had brought Europe to the verge of a financial upheaval excceding in gravity anything in the world’s previous experience. Looking forward merely to the next twelve months, there seems to ve little reusor. to ex- pect any important European demand for our Securities, tor the reason that business there is not likely to a the usual amount of profits’ for reinvestment. The polit= ical conditions, too, are fraught with dan- gers that are calculated to keep enter- prise incheck. It may be said that distrust from the latter cause would be calculated to create ademand for the issues of a country which is exempt from European. embroilments, and that is undoubtedly true: but at the same time it is to be kept in mind that, in the pres- eutcondition of the foreign money markets, | controlling financiers will do their utmost to! discourage the outflow of capital, while the very low prices at which a large mass of recent issues are selling would act as a reason against exchanging them for Ameri- cans. But, on the other hand, it seems quite eafe to anticipate exemption from any impor- tant return of our stocks or bonds from across the Atlantic. ‘That process bas run ite course during the last twelve months, and although there remain enough securities to admit ot a large refiyx. yet there is no prospect of con tions occurring that would force them back however, one possible contingency should it arise, would very materiall y all the probabilities above considere Af we may give full credit to what is reported trom Washington as to the government its agents deputied to ascertain the feasibility of asvembling x congress to re-estab- lish silver upon an international basis—there isa very unexpected disposition, amounting almost to ‘anxiety, on the part of European govern- ments, including England,to cousider such pro- posals; and the overtures openly made by Chancellor Goschen certainly give not a little credibility to these reports. We are inclined to regard this contingency as being sufficiently probable to warrant its being hopefuliy watched. Should it be realized a dark sbadow would be lifted from a large class of our securities against which there is now a distinct discrimination, especially abroad, as being possibly payable in silver. So far as respects the prospects arising from purely domestic conditions, they are almost without exception favorable to the value of stocks. The abundant crops can hardly tail to produce a better state of general trade than existed through 1891. ———— Washington Stock Exchange, Sales — Ag o'clock m.

Royal Baking Powder Is the only baking powder yet found by chemica analysis to be free from all impurities and absolutely pure. This perfect purity results from the exclusive use of cream of tartar specially refined and prepared by patent processes which totally remove all the tar- trate of lime. The cost of this chemically pure cream of tartar is much greater than any other, and it is used in no baking powder except the “Royal Dr. Edward G.
