The society, he caid, has only been in existence twenty years and now it has 1,570,000 active workers. No ether Christian movement ever secured such 9 hold. Its growing success is a strong indica- tion that Christian union is sure to come.

Joseph Taylor, ® colored man in the employ ‘of Contractor H. L. Cranford, and Carrie Tay- lor, his wife, were on trial in the Police Court this morning on = charge of assaulting their fifteen-year-old adopted daughter. Lawyer Carrington defended them. The child, who was well dressed and showed evidences of having been well cared for, ap- peared and charged that her adopted parents beat her across the back with a strap. Another witness mid that Mrs. Taylor pulled the girl's hair and also struck her with her fist. When Father Griffith of St, Stephen's Church appeared on the stand it was shown that the child was taken from St. Francis Asylum in Baltimore about ten years ago by the defend- ants. Father Griffith said he learned that the girl had heen sent to the sisters’ school. He wanted to do what was best for the child. When examined by counsel the girl said she had been treated good by the defendants; that the had been sick and had ‘been carried about by the defendants in their arms. She said she Yas whipped because she refused to sweep the lor. Taylor denied that he whipped the child last Friday. He said the girl was as dear to him as his own childten and it had been a long time since he had whi her. Mrs. Taylor said she had corrected the girl totry to prevent her keeping company with bad ‘girls. Last Friday, sho said, the girl ran away and she went aftor her. She did catch her by the hair and she had a strap in her hand, but she did not strike her with it. Several witnesses gave evidence as to the good character of the defendants and their kind wedge Miller sarees the jury that the T: a C the jury that aye lors had the same sight over the girl as if she were their own child. The court thought it was @ healthy sign to sce that children are cor- rected, and he thought it would be better for others if they were corrected and better cated for. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty aud recommended that the court instruct the child to mind her legal parents. Tho judge complied with the request and the girl was home. eg DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. FAVORING THE CONTAGIOUS HOSPITAL.

B. Stephenson Indorses the Plan Sug- gested by the Commissioners. “T think,” said Mr. C. B. Stephonson to » Stan teporter today, “that the eolution of the railroad question in South Washington made by the District Commissioners yerterday in their report on Senate bill 3272 meets the ap- Proval of the people of that section, and will, I believe, be unopposed by the people of the District generally. The scheme suggested by the Commissioners, however, is not a new one, for the very same thing was, if I remember rightly, originated with and was advocated by the people of South Washington five or six years ago. “Of course," continued Mr. Stephenson, “we of South Washington only favor the scheme provided its adoption removes from Maryland and Virginia avenues the tracks which now dis- figure those thoronghfares. We are.as we bave 80 often stated, decidedly apposed to grade crossings, and whether this echeme is adopted “or not we will oppose them as long as we ay the wer to do. 0. If this plan should’ bo. con- summated the Pennsylvahia railroad would be benefited becavse it would have a direct route at less expense, the people of South Washing- ton would be benefited by the removal of the tracks from Maryland and Virginia avenues, and property on Water street would be greatly benefited by its close proximity to the road. ADOPT THE PEOPLE'S VIEWS. “But, sir,” remarked Mr. Stephenson, “do you know the railroad company have almost in- variably finally adopted the first suggestions of the citizens of South Washington? Not at first, end perhaps not always with good grace, but they have, as I say, in almost every instance at last come to eee that the points made and the matters suggested by us were not only pos- le, but also really beneficial to the terests of the company. Why, sir, if the com- ¥ should buy the ground on both sides of rect it could inavery short time make thousands of dollars out of the investment in selling the Innd to merchants and others who would be almost compelied to buy land abut- ting on their tracks for warchouses and such ——. “As to the location of a passenger station at 7th and K streets,” eaid Mr. Stephenson, “I have not given ‘much thought. But I have heard the maiter discussed and presume that it would be a good location. I donot believe that there would be any objection on the part of our citizens to the location of astationa reason- ably short distance north of the tracks on K street if the road should desire a square or two for such a purpose. “Tam glad to cee that Tue Stan is advocating the entrance of the Norfolk and Western. rail- road into the District,” said Mr. Stephenson. “The entrance would be of immense value and importance to the people of the District. It would yield us the great benefits which the “terminal of a great and enterprising road always gives and sould bring people here that would never come any other way. Why, sir, its entrance is abso- lutely needed by us and the benefits we would . simply incalculable. Our making immense strides, as may be scen from ‘Tx Stan's river reports. And, by the way, [ hope those reports will be kept ‘u Tam glad tosee them. ‘They are of great im- portance and interest. Go down to Water | atrect and at certain times of the day you will find it almost completely blacked by traffic.” MR. X. H. SHEA. Mr. N. H. Shea stated to a Stan reporter that he favored the use of K and Water streets by the Pennsylvania railroad. His views agreed with those expressed by Mr. Stephenson, although Mr, Shea thought the tracks should be clevated. | He also thought s pasrenger sta: | tion just back of the Botannical Gardens would best’ meet the approval of every one. He stated, however, that he saw no really serious objection to its location at 7th and K streets southwest. He wns opposed to grade crossings and bridges, and thought an clevated road the best solution of the question, a THE SECOND SEASON.

We have reference to James Tharp’s “Old Rye Berkeley Whisky.” which isone of the most pop- ular brands of liquor on the market. Its true merits have been tested by many Washington- ians, who declare it to be without question the best tonic and by far the healthiest drink as a beverage in this or any other city. It has a na- tional reputation because a large percentage of Congressmen drink no other stimulant except “Tharp’s Berkeley.” Many of our prominent physicians proscribe it in their daily practice, with excellent results. ‘This pure old brand can only be purchased at Tuanp's Srone, 818 F street northwest. je3-ta,t eS ES Castellon Wine is of special benefit in cases of dysentery and diarrhea, $1 per quart bottle, 6 bottles for $5.
