"Officer Hartigan testified that he had been directed by Sergt. Falvey to keep the sidewalk clear in front of the burned Bulldings, and that he had considerable trouble in doing so. While so engased Mr. Holmes came up and stood in front of Mr. ‘Walford’s door. The officer stated that he told Mr. Holmes that if he wished to go im to do so, and if not he would have to move on. Mr. Holmes, according to the| Officer, thereupon became very indignant end said that he would move on when en to like a gentleman.

At St. Dominic's Church yesterday morn- ing Very Rev. Father Spencer, provincial of the Dominican order in the United States, celebrated high mass assisted by Father McFeely, O.

Father Lily, OD. whe for his text: “He shone in His day as the morning star in the midst of a cloud @nd the moon at the full, and as the sun ‘when it shineth so did He shine in the tem- Dle of God.” (Ecclesiastics, 1: 6, 7.) He elo- Goently sketched the life and work of St. nic and the wide extension of the order which he founded, and urged his hearers to Qgcept him as a model for their Christian fe. Last Friday was the feast of St. Dominic, and Father Spencer came to Washington to te in the celebration here. On that the Dominican Sisters of the Convent of the Sacred Heart on Maryland avenue closed their retreat. ——>__. Mission of the Epworth League. An interesting sermon was preached yes- terday morning by the Rev. S. W. Hays of the Asbury M. E. Church, lith and K streets northwest, on “The Mission of the Epworth League." The minister toox for his text the first verse of the second chap- ter of Timothy, “Now, therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Cart: Jesus,” and after enthusiastically indorsing the purposes of the league, said that the em; wed the need of beginning early in the training of the young.

In speaking to a Star Feporter Mr. Waple said that the thieves, after they had forced the safe, could have taken over $30) worth of jewelry had they been so disposed, but that ali that was missed was what is stated above. He said that no clothing or goods from the store were taken and from this fact, as well as the} bungling manner in which the safe was opened. he is inclined to believe that the work was not that of professionals, but father of some parties who knew the sture and its contents. He has reported the rob- Dery to the Post Office Department and also to the chief of police in this city. —— No Ice Trust This Season.

No Stringency So Far as Money Among the Prisoners. ‘The Police Relief Fund, However, in a Bad Way—Policemen Try- ing to Make Records. Stringency in the money market does not seem to affect police circles, for although many of the officers themselves, with a reg- ular salary, are complaining of “hard times” their victims are going along in the even tenor of their way and settling court bills Just the same as they did before so many banks “closed down.” The banks do not affect them, for but few of them there are who are unable to get a friend who will not put up a “V" or an “X” if necessary. While many of them are paying their fines there are some, of course, who are unable to do so, and then the vagrants and tramps have to go down in default of bond, as no fine is imposed in such cases. The Police Court is a paying institution, the collections paying all expenses and leav- ing a few thousand dollars each year for Un- cle Sam's treasury. While so many of the prisoners are seem- ingly in good financial condition such is not the case with the policemen’s fund, from which police pensions are paid. The fu is fast decreasing, and unless there |: relief within a few months some of tl sions will probably be reduced or cut off en. tirely. Maj. Moore is anxious about th matter, and he will in all probability ask Congress for relief. ‘The estimates for the fiscal year have not yet been made up, but it ismore than likely that an item for the relief of the fund will be the most important feature of it, so far as an increase over the regular expenses of the force is concerned. Reforming Prisoners. Lately the police have exerted their efforts toward ridding the city of tramps, and in some sections a great many have been cap- tured. In this number are included the local tramps and persons who do not work, and through the efforts of the officers many of the unwelcome transient guests have been sent away, while some of the local men have been’ reformed. Concerning the ref- ormation of persons who have been in the habit of getting arrested the police are con- gratulating those connected with the Cen- tral Union Mission for what they did « few Weeks ago for a woman who had been a frequenter of the court for many years. Never was she known to remain sober more than one or two days at a time. She spent the greater part of her time in the work house, but a few weeks ago she wended her way to the mission, and now she is able to stand in the meetings and tell of her sev- eral weeks of sober life, and expresses a de- termination to remain sober and keep out of the hands of the police. “No one would belleve that that was the same woman who has figured in the courts so many times,” an officer who heard her address a gathering the other night, “and if the mission accomplishes nothing else, thelr work should certainly be_encouraged.”” + During the warm weather last the heavy weights on the police force suf- fered most. ‘Their disabilities resulted from the heat, and now that the weather is more favorable, the big policemen are doing duty the same as in cool weather. At one time there were about ten of the heavy weights sick. ‘The establishment of the all-night patrol system in two of the precincts has proved @ success, for often the services of the lice are needed at all hours of the night. With an all-night service in the centrai part of the city, the officers are able to re- spond to emergency calls from all sections, and make the response before the lapse of time renders their ce useless. The officers are in hopes that the all-night ser- vice will be extended to other precincts. Making Records. “Some of the policemen seem to be try- ing to make a record for the highest num- ber of arrests, as was the case some years ago,” said’an old copper the other day. “It is nothing unusual to see a man arrested and several charges made against him. Each charge, though, is a case, and it makes a record against the good ‘name of the city. It would be just as well in many cases to prefer only one charge and let the court consider the character of the man and offense in out the punishment.” There are forty-six members of the force month who are detailed at laces, enough to establish another precinct.

Zetan ibe Sumi “Many Treasury Changes.” To the Editor of The Evening Star: In your issue of Saturday last, under the head of “Many Treasury Changes,” you state that “the present policy of the Treas- ury Department is to make public only the names of those promoted. Also that while it 1s not considered especially hard to re- duce a man’s salary, or dismiss him, it is considered a great wrong to publish that fact in the newspapers. This policy, how. ever, applies only to the classified service.” I beg to inquire, M: terested taining to the classified service, when no such garb is required otherwise.” This, too, in the face of the fact that the head of the present administration was first brought into notoriety, and recelved the support of the American people, because of his abso- lute and unqualified devotion to the civil service law, and his pledges by word of mouth, by letters innumerable and by his oath of office to rigidly enforce the same. T also beg to ask, Mr. Editor, if the whole- sale reduction of faithful, competent and expertenced clerks to a lower salary for no cause whatever, save that of making places at higher salaries for the same number of comparatively new and less experienced clerks,same of whom have two,three or four members of their families quartered on the government and all drawing good sala- ries, is not a flagrant violation of the civil service law. If laws enacted by the law- making power of our government are to be obeyed, why make an exception of this law? If reducing a clerk to a lower salary and continuing him at ‘the same desk, as is in- variably the case, makes said cierk more efficient, I would suggest a trial of the same rule with the heads of Gepartments, bureaus, division chiefs, &c. . 8.

The Poeple’s Free Thought Exchange held a meeting yesterday in the Blavatsky Lodge, No. 2, on F street. There were but thirteen people present, but they managed to divide up the time and subjects so well that they talked from 3 o'clock to 7, the hour at which their lease of the rooms ex- pired. The meeting was opened by Mr. Gustave Augerstein, who stated that he had adver- tised the meeting in the daily papers in hopes that some of the Senators and Con- gressmen would attend and exchange views on the topic which had been selected, that of “The Money Crisis, Its Cause and Rem- edy. Pretty much everybody was given a chance to vent his opinions and then they passed a resolution demanding the election of some person who is not a member of the House of Representatives to the post- n of Speaker of tl Ly. There wan ‘another resolution presented which called for a committee of three whose duty it should be to “secure a meet- ing place in some public park or building where we will not have to pay rent to some landlord for :he privilege of agitating public questions, but should said commit- tee find it impossible to carry out Its in- structions without going to Congrt then it shall go there with full power from this body of citizens.” ‘Mr. James Seldon Cowdon offered a res- olution, which was also unanimously adopt- ed, setting forth that as the Secretary of the Treasury has ample power under the act of March 3, 1881, to call all of the out- standing interest-bearing bonds of the United States for immediate redemption, and Congress has wer to coin the de- claratory, not promissory, full, not partial, legal tender money of this republic, in vari- ous denominations, on sheets of aluminum or silk threaded paper, as the people may refer and then cover it into the trensury for the purpose of paying , “the debts of the United States; and $600,000.00 of sald money can be prepared in four months to pay sald bonds, therefore, “we do hereby demand the immediate calling and redem) tion of all of the said outstanding interes bearing bonds of the United States, thu: leaving the ffational banks free to go out of business or to reorganize under the laws of their respective states.”” —>—__ One Plan for Sol: To the Editor of The Evening St: Permit an old soldier with twenty years’ experience in mines and mining, and who has visited every mining state and terri- tory of our country, to suggest a solution of the silver problem, which, he thinks, will allay the fructifying disquietude in this democratic administration, and, if so, entitle him to another brevet from a demo- cratic Congress. And my plan is so simple and complete the wonder will be that it has not been adopted long ago. Listen: If the Congress and the President will create a law authorizing the owners of do- mestic silver bullion to take it to our mints and have it made into octagonal or circular Pleces of 1 ounce, 1-2 ounce, 1-$ ounce and -8 ounce of pure silver, paying seigniorage for the same, the dark, lowering democrat- fe clouds wiil disappear and the glorious Fainbow of success, peace and plenty will in enarch our country, and President Cleveland's second administration be “thrice blessed.” I suggest our mints to insure absolute honesty of weight and purity of metal. By this process you can rot only utilize our entire domestic silver output, and all the silver in our treasury,but actuaily create @ currency that will be accepted and used all over our country, particularly in our mining and western states, and which will have a certain fluctuating value, just as our “greenbacks” did in the 60's and "70's True, you thus make a commoiity of si ver, but is not this what the monometalists of the eastern states desire? And as long as the silver producer can at once convert his silver into gold or United States notes, and can purchase with it, in very conve- nient shape for handling and transporta- tion, the necessities and luxuries of life, it is virtually money, if it is a “commodity.” Again: In thus utilizing our domestic silver you give our country what I think {t so much needs—more money to meet the requirements of its ever increasing popula- tion and business. Trade will at once adapt itself to the daily fluctuations in the price of pure silver, just as it did twenty- five years ago in the market (gold) value of “greenbacks.” And so long as silver fluctuates in value, you cannot establish a standard ity or ratio in gold and sil- ver coin. My plan does away with this, as the silver pieces in ounces are not coins of fixed values. ‘The repeal of the purchasing section in the so-called Sherman law will, in| my Judgment, make matters worse in the stl- ver centers. The following extract is from a letter of an experienced mining engineer in Denver, Col., dated July 29: “We are hai the most serous times here imaginable: No money, no credit; no (silver) mining, no business; distrust, dis- tress, disaster, desnatr.

Mr. Holmes Speaks on an In- teresting Theme. | The mission of, the Christian church to the masses was the theme of the discourse yesterday morning by the Rev. Mr. Holmes at the First Presbyterian Church, 4 1-2 street. The sermon was based on the text found in the forty-seventh chapter of Eze- Kiel and the ninth verse, “And everything shall live, whither the river cometh.” .After speaking of the significance of Ezekiel's vision to the Jewish exiles as a prophecy of the spread of the knowledge of Goa through the instrumentality of the Jewish nation, the preacher went on to show how in the text there is to be found a promise and a picture of the way in which Christian truth Was to find its way to the world through the channel of the Christian Church. In the tme of Christ and the apostles this to Rtlardl ecy found its swift and literal fulfillment. Away up in Nazareth we find the foun- tain head of the stream of Christian truth, which, as it flows along through Galilee and Judea and out into Asia and unto Fome gains constantly in volume and intensity, carrying healing and life wherever it goes But since the first century the church } not always been a minister of life to the multitude. The centuries have witnessed the formation of a mighty channel for the pas- sage of the waters of life. The churen, us an institution, has steadily increased in Wealth and power, but despite her material rosperity, she is not today conveying spir- tual life to the multitude to an extent com- Mensurate with her opportunities. She is surrounded with dense masses of souls, en- during deep distress and fell of an unutter- able discontent; souls who find in her min- Istry and teaching too often neither heal- nor lite. failure of the church to impress its mes- sage upon the people was due not to any lack of power in the gospel itself, but to the lifelessness of the church. The first need of the hour is, that the church should preach the whole message of Jesus with full taith in its perfect practicability. His gospel was not @ gospel of future redempiion inerely, but a gospel of daily redemption and per: sonal righteousness. Nor is this all, there is also need that the church should pro- claim an incarnate gospel, me that tinds | daily embodiment in the’ characters and lives of those who claim to be tians. The Master lived His gospel and therein laid its power with men. Wherever Chris- {ian truth has foun humanity it has some human life. which does not control the passions sweeten the spirit and issue in rish hess, Throughout the great ual church there is pressing need not for more | elaborate organization, nor for a tore com- | plicated ecclesiastical machinery, but for a revival of spirituality, for consecrated men and women upon whom Pentacost has come, by the consecration of single souls has the spiritual progress of the race been wrought.

A very pretty home wedding occurred in this neighborhood on Tuesday evening last, when the relatives and intimate friends of the high contracting parties were pres- ent at the residence of the uncle of the bride, Mr. D. Main, to witness the mar- riage performed by’ Rev. Mr. West of Brookland, D. €., of Miss Rose Martin to Mr. David Seek. The bride was becom- ingly attired in a white costume. The young people will go to housekeeping in the vicinity of their old home. All effort has failed so far to discover from whence the bullet came that passed through the 5:45 p.m. Frederick express on Friday last as it was nearing the bridge at Lamond’s station. The shattering of the car window and liberal sprinkling with broken glass of a gentleman who sat but a few inches beyond the line Besar by the ball was a narrow escape. It was near this spot that the boards of the bridge were taken up last spring and placed across the track, but discovered in time to avert an accident.

The republican primary meetings held yesterday in the several election districts of the county were well attended and much interest was manifested in the coming cam- paign. The object of these meetings was to select delegates to a county convention to be held here next Tuesday for the pur- pose of electing four members of the re- publican state central committee, four del- egates to the Btate convention in Baltimore on the first Wednesday of September and to nomingte a legislative and county ticket. The meeting at this place was presided over by James Martin with Wm. Proctor as secretary. A committee consisting of Messrs. John G. England, Thos. Dawson, Horace Sedgwick, Alex. A. Braddock and Dorsey Offutt was appointed to nominate seven persons to serve as delegates to the county convention and five to act as a coun- ty committee for this district. The follow- ing were named by the committee and elected as delegates to the state convention: Thos. Dawson, A. A. Braddock, John G. England, D. W. Offutt, J. W. Martin, Hor- ace Sedgwick, Adam” Powell; as county committeemen, Horace Sedgwick, John G. England, Wm. Proctor, Wm. Johnson and James Martin were selected. On the sub- Ject of nominating an entire legislative and county ticket there was some difference of opinion among those present and the mat- ter will be determined by the county con- vention. In political circles the names of Messrs. Jos. T. Moore, Thos. Dawson and Upton Darby ‘are mentioned as probable candidates for the place of state senator, and Capt. John McDonald, Ruger Farquhar and Philemon M. Smith for the house of delegates. Although the county is largely democratic Messrs. Moore, McDonald and Smith have been successful at previous elections, Mr. Moore having been. elected to the senate, Capt. McDonald to the house of delegates and Mr. Smith to the of county commissioners. Owing to the bad feeling in the democratic ranks both be- fore and since the primary election the re- publicans appear to have strong hopes of electing a portion of their ticket. Ridgely Brown Camp of Confederate Vet- erans held a meeting here today which was attended by quite a number of old soldiers from the county, the District, Baltimore city and other places. The meeting was presided over by Commander B. J. Chiswell and Adjutant E. L. Amiss acted as secre- tary. Gen. George H. Stewart of Baltimore, Who was present by invitation, made an address to his old comrades and explained the objects of the state association pre- Paratory to this camp becoming a member of the same. The following members were enrolled: E. L. Amiss, David G. Carlisle, Jno. O. Clark, E. J. Chiswell,Wm. A. Davia, David Grittith, D. J. Horner, S.C. Jones, R. P. Hays, C. D. Luckett, R. M. Mackall, H.

Sk M GAY COUNTRY TIMES, At Various Festivities at Forest Glen, M Among the many gay events which con- Stantly occur at the Inn, Forest Glen, one which was marked by the absence of any formality was the celebration of the birth- day of Mrs. Lillan A. Nicholls. The room was decorated with ferns for the occasion, and at one end a throne and canopy, deco- rated with the flag of our country, was erected. In the presence af a score of inti- mate friends the ceremony of crowning the queen was enacted. Presents, given in & spirit of fun and accompanied by suitable Verses, were bestowed upon Mrs. Nicholls, and after each was opened the birthda: cake, upon which sixteen candles burned, was cut, and healghs were drunk In claret punch. “A Virginia reel was then danced by the entire company, as an ending well fitting the jolly little’ entertainment. A childrens’ fancy dress ball was given in the spacious ball room of the Inn, where so many Washingtonians are now summer- ing, on last Thursday night. The bril- liantly Ughted room, the gay music and the fancy costumes of ‘the little ones made a pretty picture for the eyes of the specta- tors who lined the walls of the room. After the grand march, with which the ball was opened, and which was led very creditably | even in the most intricate parts by Selina Harris and Rosa Johnson, Miss” Helene Eiseman entertained all Song by her re- markably graceful rendition of the skirt dance. Another feature of the evening was the Jack Horner Pie, which, when opened, displayed many plums tn the shape of pres- ents for the little dancers. uite a number of round dances were en- joved by the children, and then Tew freshments were served. Among the most noticeable figutes on the floor were little Carl Rradford as Cupid, Frances Miller, Butterfly; Frances Clarke, But- terfly: Edna Eiseman, Bo Peep; Rosa John- son, Yum Yum; May Harris, Flower Girl: Selina and Jeanette Harris, Court Ladies: Maddox Miller, Prince; ‘Carroll Beale, Clown; Robert E.

By far the most con- spicuous of those in the grand march were Mr. Harry Blair Smith and Mr. Eugene Gaines, who, despite the fact that their childhood’s days are long past, anpeared as the Infants. The room rang with applause when the entertainment concluded with a Sailor's Hornpipe, danced by Jeanette Har- ris and Helene Eiseman, and then the com- pany dispersed. ——___ The Corinth Canal Opened in reece. The Corinth canal was opened by the King of Greece yesterday in the presence of all the members of the royal family, the cabinet ministers, the foreign diplomatic representatives, the principal military and civil officials and an tmmense crowd of citizens. The king made a speech, in which he expressed his great pleasure on. se the canal finished in his reign. The onet ing of the canal was stenalized by the firing of military salutes and by the enthusiastic cheering of the multitude present. ‘The first_sod of the canal across the Isthmus of Corinth was turned by the King of Greece in April, 188 The {sthmus is about three and three-quarters miles in breadth. In the middle of the isthmus there ts a ridge 120 to 19) feet high, which 4s approached on each side by a plain from the shore. KIDNEY TROUBLES.

Although the city council has adjourned until next October, it is probable that there will be one or more called meetings in the interval. An ordinance now before the boards granting the right of way to the Washington, Alexandria and Mt. Vernon railroad to the limits of the city on Fair- fax, King and Payne streets will probably be considered in the interim. The bill in- creasing the number and pay of the police force may also come up for consideration. No other public business has been left un- completed, and uniess the improbable chol- era shall come and require additional sani- tary regulations, there will be nothing of general interest to transact. Church Services Yesterday. ‘Two Washington clergymen officiated in churches here yesterday, Rev. Dr. Snyder of Washington celebrated the services at Grace church on Patrick street and Rev. C. C. Mohart of Washington preached at the German Lutheran Church on Cameron street. In the absence of the pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, Rey. Dr, R. C. Gilmore of Virginia occupied the pulpit.
