About noon today the neighborhood of 2Ist and Q streets northwest was thrown into a state of exéitement by an explosion and fire in the house of Lieut. Heil of the navy, No. 2023 Q street, ‘ Liout. Heil and a member of the fire depart- ment were severely burned, while Mrs, Heil and the colored woman employed as cook nar- nowly escaped. The presence of naphtha in the house was what caused the fire. Lisut. Heil and his wife, assisted by the colored woman, were using the fluid on the rugs which they were going to pack away for the summer. A number of them bad gone through the cleaaxing process and had been put away, while others moist with the fluid “ were ‘left on tho floor near the rango to dry. Being exposed to the air and warmth of the hot range in the kitchen the naphtha soon generated gas, which resulted in an explosion when it came in con- tact with the range. SEVER“LY BURNED. Lieut. Heil picked up the burning rug and rushed with it toward the door. In doing eo hecame in contact with the other rugs and they were soon enveloped in the flames, Mrs. Heil and the colored woman managed to escape and give an alarm. Box 219 was pulled and the re department responded promptly. One of the first firemen to rush into the ful bur ‘The flames had spread rapidly before the fire- men reached the houre, and had followed the back stairway to the roof. After the urrival of the fire department the flames were soon extin- guished. Lieut. Heil was severely burned about the hands and arms, and it will perhaps be several weeks before he will recover. He was attended by a neighboring physician until the arrival of a physician from the Naval Hospital. . The damage to tho houso is estimated at about $1,000 und is fully insured, ives Gen.

Presbyterian Assembly Tovotes Half a Day to Wark ee THEN GOES 70 MY. VERNON. ;THE CARE OF POOR PREACHERS. {Representatives From Abroad Introdaced to the Body. TRUSTEES AND DEACONS. A Committee Suggests Ways ot Securing Harmony. The general assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America took a | half holiday today and went on an excursion. It was nota mere May day pleasuring, but a patriotic pilgrimage to Mount Vernon. So the ‘business that was done today was all done inthe morning. In fact, some matters were cut rather short to prevent the possibility of the general assembly's missing the Mount Vernon boat. As it was,an hour was sharply set for j adjourning, and the business-like mod- erator and stated clerk put things through on schedule time. The morning was occupied with matters of much importance arrangements, stated that it would be necessary to adjourn the session te at a quarter of 12 in order to allow commissioners to get lunch and reach the boat for Mt. Vernon, which would leave at 1:20 o'clock. On motion of Dr. Roberts it was decided that the assembly adjourn at 11:45 o'clock today until 9 o'clock Monday morning. | Dr. Bartlett then stated that the trustees of the Corcoran Art Gallery bad thrown open the gallery to members of the assembly and their Jndies, the badges worn by the commissioners being the only identification required. He stated that the gallery would be thrown open Some night next week and illuminated for the benefit of the members of the assembiy. FLOWERS FROM THE REFORM SCHOOL. Dr. Bartlett then made a statement which explained the appearance of the buttonbole bouquets, He said that he had received an un- DR. LEFTWICH. gift for the assembly—from the boys of the reform school—bovs who were sent there for minor offenses, It was @ great supply of flowers which had been sent from the school with a ietter from Superintendent Shailenberger. Dr. Bart- Jett eaid be bad anrwered the letter for the a+ sembly, expressing thanks for the beautiful giit and stating that the pravers of the nasem- would be given to make them good boys, ‘The announcement was received with ap- plause and a resolution of thanks to the boys was adopted. VISITORS FROM ABROAD. Rey. M. L. P. Hill, the chairman of the com- mittee on correspondence, was then given the floor to introduce three interesting visitors. There were Rey. Dr. Paton, the ven- erable missionary from the New Hebrides; Frederick Necker, a representative of the Evangelical Society of Switzerland, and Rev. E. J. Dupuy, the representative of the evangeli- cal churches of France, and delegate to the Franco-Am rican even celical committee. Rev. Dr. Paton, wnose long white hair and in the church, but most of which would be voted | a8 somewhat dull by general spectators, There | Was an interesting scene when the venerable READING OF THE MINUTES. Dr. Paton, the distinguished missionary, and represeatatives from the Evangelical churches of Switzerland and France were introduced to the assembly. A strong and impressive appeal was made in one of the regular reports for a Proper provision asa right, not # charity, for the support of aged ministers of the church and there was every indication that among other things this assembly will do will bo the es- tablisbment of a system which wil! provide support, without question, to. men who iiave eerved the church faithfully. Another matter touched upon, but which was not acted upon, was that of defining the relations of deacons and trustees in such a manner as to prevent what the outsiders might designate as church rows over the music and other matters with which the management of churches have to deal. In all these matters no doctrinal questions were involved, and the | spectator who went in hoping to see some great | divines pitted together in ecclesiastical com- | bat probably yawned a little and stole out of the gallery when opportunity offered. Senator Gorman was a spectator, but he oc- cupied aseat on the platform and courtesy | prevented his stealing away, so he made | the best of it and seemed to take | mach interest in the statistics about poor ministers and other reports submitted, The assembly will probably take no more holidays. Next weck will bea busy one, and before it is ended rome questions of the gravest import to the church will have come up. ‘The Morning Devotional Exercises. ‘The commissioners did not seta very good example to their constituents this morning in the matter of prompt attendance on the open- ing devotional exercises. Many of them, how- ever, had important committee duties to attend to, and it was known the rest of the day was to be well occupied so they stole some of the half hour set aside for religious exercises beginning at 9 o'clock. When Rev. Dr. Bissell, who led the exercises, rose with his hymn book in his hand there were not over a score of persons in the body of the church where the commissioners set, and about as many spectators in the gallery. Down stairs in the Sunday school room there was a throng of busy people, and the committee rooms in the church and in neighboring houses were all [scenes of little gatherings. After the first hymn was sung people began to drop in and both floor and gallery received constant recruits. Dr. Bissell then gave out a number of hymns, which were sung without music, and then read the first-eleven verses of John xv, following it with a little talk on fellowship’ with Christ. ‘Then he had the gathering sing “Jesus, Lover DR. NECKER OF GENEVA. of My Soul,” and this was followed by a prayer service, several of those present in their pinces and offering prayer. Meanwhile atiendants were pas-ing through the churehwith trays filled with buttonhole bouquets, which were distributed «mong thecommissioners. Before 9:30, the hour for opening the assembly for business, the church was pretty well filled. 4 otional exercises closed with the sing Need Thee Every Hour.” ‘The Business session, When the last words of the hymn had been sung the moderator and the o’vers of the as- sembly were in their places. The moderator beard gave him a pattiarchalappearance, spoke a few words, expressing the pleasure given him by the cordial greeting he had received and DR PATON. (NeW HEBRIDES.) stating that ax ke would have another — tunity to «peak on heathen missions be Would uot take the-time of the arcembly now. The moderator remarked before Dr. Paton sat down that church dignities such as birhoprics and honors of that ‘seemed prltey im the presence of the venerable Dr. ‘ton, who stood in the forefront of missionary endeavor. .

The royal train arrived in Washington at 8:40 o'clock last night. An immense crowd of people gathered in the vicinity of the Pennsylvania railroad station more than an hour before the train arrived, The attaches of the Spanish Jega- tion were there as earlyas 7 o'clock. They were the first official comers. Senor Don Jose Felipe Sagrario, first secretary of legation; Senora de Sagrario, Senorita de Sagrario, Senor Don Manuel Multedo, third secretary; Captaine C. Dela Casa, military attache, und Senor Alejan- dro Padilla y Bel, attache, composed the party from the legation, which also included Mrs. Curry, the wife of the ex-minister of the United ‘States to Spain. THE CAVALRY Psconr, Five minutes later there was a stir among the rapidly gathering throng and a faint cheer as | two troops of United States cavalry under Col. Guy V. Henry from Fort Myer rode up and formed in a line on the 6th street side of the station, They wore dress uniform with fa- tigue cap. The cavalry had started out from Fort Myer at 3 o'clock in the afternoon attired in full dress in the expectation that the intanta would arrive at 4 o'clock, and when Col. Henry ascertained that the distinguished party would not reach the city until late in the day he was obliged to take his men back to the fort, a long dusty ride. ud Assistant Secretary Secretary Gresham Quincey came shortly after the arrival of the cavity in Mr. Gresham's carriage, followed almost immediately by a handsome baroucke drawn by four magnificent bay horses, It was President Cleveland's carriage and the Presi- dent's coachman and footman were on the box. Other officials began to arrive. Col. John M. Wilson of the army, the commissioner of pub. lic buildings and wore full dress uni- form in his capacity as the military represeut- ative of the President. Assistant Secretary Adee and Chief Clerk Rockhill of the State De- partment were also in attendance. A numbe: of railroad porters caused a flutter in the crowd by laying « double width of carpet along the east side of the platform. This was for the pas-age of the royal party from the train to the carriage. Then a detachment of men under a lieutenant, marched into the sta- tion aud drove back all outeiders who had se- cured entrance. A line of rope stretched from one end of the platform to the other com- pleted the arrangements for the infanta’s er- rival, ‘THE PRINCESS ARRIVES. After two or three false alarms the special train steamed into the station, Secretary Gresham, the State Department officials and the party from the Spanish legation walked nearer to the tracks as the train came to a standstill. ‘The princess was the first to alight. She was assisted from the train by Commander Davis. The Spanish minister, Senor Muruaga, was just bebind the princess, but before he could alight Secre- tary Gresham pressed forward and Commander Davis presented him to the infauta as the representative of the President. The princess and Secretary Gresham greeted each other pleasantly, and then other members of the ‘receiving’ party gathered about them, When the infanta saw Mrs, Curry there was a pretty scene. The two had known each other intimately in Madrid, aud the recognition was tollowed by warui hand clasp, while Mrs. Curry imprinted a kiss oneach cheek of the princess. The grect- ings over, Secretary) Gresham offered his arm to the princess and preceded by Col. Wilson, and followed by the infanta’s suite and the others of the official gathering, they walked down the carpeted piatform to the carriage entrance of the station. Outside the crowd was something enormous, and the princess looked pleased as ebe saw the throng that had gathered to receive her. She chatted gaily in English with Mr. Gresham ali the while. The infanta, Secretary Gros- bam, Minister Murusga and Antonio entered the President's riage, the cavalry saluted, and the processio began to move up Pennevivania avenue toward Arlington. Four bugiers on horseback led, 1d with the two troops of cavalry, one of winch was composed of colored soldiers from the “fighting ninth,” formed the escort for the roval party. Six sergeants of cavalry acted as body guard to the princess, carriage came carriages containing her suite and the member of the receiving party. The troop made an excellent appearance and were corplimented bythe Presideat for the manner in which they performed this duty. THE RIDE GO THE ARLINGTON. The scenes in and around the Penn- sylvania railway station when the princess ar- rived reminded ono of those that were en- acted during the inauguration. A crowd, the jike of which bas not been seen since that time, hned Pennsylvania avenue on cither side from the 6th street station to the Treasury Department and to the Arlington Hotel. “The ride up Pennsylvania avenne was devoid of any special incident except on one or two occasions when the horses became slightly un- manageable, but were soon brought under con- trol.
