D., of Massachusetts was read by Rev. Dr. Eddy of Rhode Island. ‘The morning session today was devoted Rev. T. J. for the most part to the reading and con- sideration of the reports of the board of trustees and the treasurer. The former was quite @ tengthy and important paper. When 10 o'clock arrived, the hour for commencing the regular business of the day, the gen- eral secretary, Rev. Dr. G. L. Demarest, called the roll of delegates, and a goodly number from all sections of the country answered to thelr names. Among the del- egates were a number of ladies, and at the conclusion of the roll’ cail the secretary an- nounced a quorum present. He nominated as his assistants Rev. J. N. Emery and Rev. W. A. Start, and asked their elec- tion, This was done unanimously. ‘The president, Mr. Henry B. Metcalf of Rhode ‘Isiand, announced as the committee on elections’ Messrs. A. E. Mason and Briggs, and Rev. Mr. Gray; as the com- mittee on services, Rev. Dr.'A. G. Rogers, Messrs. Perham and Wilson. a Reply. w. Curry, a+ member of the Church of Our Father, delivered an elo- quent address of welcome in the name of the Murray Universalist Soctety of Wash- ington. President Metcalf responded to the salu- fons and welcome of the Washington church, and in the course of his remarks |said that while the denomination had no bishopric nor cathedral it did possess a house of worship in which all might feel @ personal ownership. Mr. Metcalf paid a generous tribute to the noble work accom- plitshed in this city by this Universalist Church, whose hardships and difficulties, he said, had been exceptional, and whose energy ‘and zeal had been also exceptional and to no less degree. ‘Trustees’ Report. ‘The twenty-eight annual report of the board of trustees was then read by the general secretary of the convention. The report showed the following statistics of particular interest: Number of parishes, %7; number of familles reported, 43,253; church membership, 44,743; Sunday school membership, 67,261; parish property, less debt, $8,651,908; parish expenses and contri- butions, $1,389,826. In all af these items-a considerable increase was shown over the corresponding figures for last year. The following reference was made in the course of the report to affairs of the local church society: “In view of the peculiar circumstances cf the Murray Parish in the city of Washing- ton, and the importance of its position, the board belleved that the interest of the church at large demande! the service at the national capital of a pastor of large ex- Rev. G. L, Demares: perience, tried loyalty, and popular talents. To secure such a one under the conditions was evidently beyond the financial ability of the parish; and the board were constrain- ed to apply to its aid the sum of $500 per year for three years, provided a pastor sat- isfactory to the trustees should be obtained. ‘The result was the choice, approval and set- tlement of Rev. Arthur G. Rogers, D.D. whose ministry has already justified the action and expectation of those concerned. It is a reasonable hope that the parish may, under Dr. Rogers’ leadership, work out a still greater prosperity. “The further surn of $24.19 charged to the Murray Parish. is applied, under the agree- ment reported in 1886, toward the reduc- tion of its two notes representing its in- debtedness at that time, which arose mostly | trom the fallure of subscribers to its build- | ing fund to keep their pledges. Such action on our part was conditioned upon the pa: ment of the interest of the two notes which, generally, has been promptly pai and the notes, originally $5,000, now stand at $2,506."" International Arbitrath With reference to the matter of inter- | national arbitration, which has received so much attention at the hands of different churches of late years, the report said: “At our meeting of October, 1892, a com- munication was received from Rev. P. 3. Hulbert of the Collegiate Reformed Church in the clty of New York, requesting the concurrence of the Universalist Church with other churches in an international petition to the governments of the world ‘in behalf of «peaceful arbitration as a means of settling questions that arise be- tween nations’ and to appoint delegates to |@ conference to be held in the city of Chi- cago during the Columbian exposition. ‘The | secretary was instructed to signify the con- currence of the Universalist Church in this petition and Rev. A. A. Miner, D.D., LL.D., of Boston, Mass, and Rev. A. J. Canfield, |D.D., and Mr. Samuel Kerr of Chicago, Ill were appointed delegates to the proposed conference. “The secretary at once certified through | Mr. Hulbert the concurrence desired, and in July last, at the request of Rev.Dr.Camp- | bell of Richmond, Va., chairman of the ex- jecutive committee of’ a peace conference held in New York in 1891, he subscribed pe- titions to tifirty-one governments in their | respective languages, in the name of the Universalist Church.’ Universalist Mission in Japan. “The activities of the mission have been maintained during the last year. There has been an enlargement of the work in several respects, following the methods which have been reported heretofore. New converts have been gained and the membership of the several churches has been considerably increased. Accessions have been made to the number of Japanese preachers in our church, and to the number of students in our theological school at Tokio. ‘There are numerous places in Japan where these Uni- versalist preachers, present and prospective, would be gladly welcomed, and where, it 1s believed, they could establish, respectively, @ permanent organization of Christian be- Mevers. Meanwhile as much out-post work as possible ts being prosecuted by the mis- sionaries and their Japanese assistants. Thus the mission 1s constantly aiming to enlarge its lines and cause its influence ® be more widely and deeply felt” Fi cial Matters. During the year the colleges and other educational institutions in the denomination received gifts to the amount of $2,403, as against $265,728 last year. Gifts for mission- ary and other benevolent work received by the various bodies connected with the church amounted to $61,851, as against $89,616 last year. The summary for the year is as follows: Amount paid for current expenses, $805, 601; upon church edifices, $372,564; debts, $148,917; educational institutions, $32,408; missions, &c., $64,744; estimated for local Denevolences,” $100,000; total, $1,522,229, as against $1,581, 036; average per family, as reported, $35.19, Cause for Congratulatt In conclusion the report said: “The trustees, in closing, again congratu- lated the church upon its general prosper- ity. Its colleges and schools are making substantial growth; their membership being much larger than ever before, while their facllities for education are greatly augment- ed. Its Sunday schools, young people's so- cieties and charitable organizations are in- creasing in usefulness. Its spiritual de- velopment ts testified by the fact that its church membership grows more rapidly than the increase of the number of its fam- flies. At no time in its history has its fi- nancial resources been so great as now, its mission work, both home and foreign, 80 extensive and fruitful and the promise of continued activity and growth in all depart- ments of effort more encouraging. We have only to work patiently, persistently and unitedly, with love to God our Father, and as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ, His Son, to achieve results more worthy of the faith which it is our privilege to love and cherish.

Several memorials were recelved by the convention and were referred to the com- mittee on official reports, and a few min- utes after 12 o'clock the convention ad- jJourned and the members were photo- graphed in front of the church. ‘The Woman's Associ: Related to the Uniyersalist general con- vention and holding its session at the same time is the Woman's Centenary Assocta- tion, which was organized in 1870. This body 1s the Woman's National Misstonary Society of the Universalist Church, work- ing both in the home and foreign fields. It has a membership of about 12,000, and does @ great deal of good work in the way of raising funds for colleges, missions and aged ministers or their families. This morning the association held an tm- portant business meeting at the Unitarian Church, corner 1ith and L streets. ‘The of- ficers are: President, Mrs. C. A. Quinb President Henry B.

Last evening at the opening religious exercises of the convention the occasional \sermon of Rev. Dr. Sawyer was read ty Dr. Eddy. The sermon gave an interesting review of the history of the church. “Nothing is more apparent,” said the preacher, “than the change in the tone and {spirit of the orthodox pulpit during the last thirty or forty years in respect to the des- tiny of mankind. I remember it as it was sixty years ago, and I am familiar with it those of his school who succeeded him. ‘One of the causes of our slow progress is found now in the fact that orthodoxy is no longer orthodox. If the popular pulpit of today were as terrible as it often was in my early ministry our churches would not hold those who would seek them. But so the truth runs and is glorified, ict us re- joice and give God thanks. Our orthodox neighbors are all learning what they had almost forgotten or never knew, that Ged 4s love and that His love fills the earth and the heavens, and that were there a hell a thousand times deeper and more terrible than the human imagination can fathom, love presided over its making and will pre- side over it forever and ever. This one fact received into the severest theology must soon modify and transform it, and that process of transformation is going on, thank God, all about us. The Old and the New. The closing words were as follows: Some of our young doctors, I observe, amuse themselves with the concelt of a New Uni- versalism. I have been acquainted with the old for seventy years past, and have studied its history from the time of the apostles to the present day, and I know of no other. It is one ard the same yester- day, today and forever—the doctrine of God's infinite love in Christ Jesus and its power to conquer all human hearts. But this New Universalism, with which some seem to be delighted, has discovered that Jesus was not born as the New Tes- tament teaches, nor did he do the things it ascribes to him, nor speak the words which it puts in his mouth, nor was he, when dead and buried, raised from the ——— as it existed in the great Edwards and | dead. But all this is not new; it is as Celsus and has been I have sometimes wondered what would be the result if all our ministers were to omit in their public ministrations all dis- cussion of science, evolution, the higher criticism and kindred subjects, which I fear they do not generally understand too well, and their congregations still less per- haps, and resolve with the apostle to know nothing among their people but Jesus Christ and him crucified, and adhere to this reso- lution for a single twelvemonth. If the gospel is in fact as we profess to believe, the power of God unto salvation to every one who believes, I cannot doubt that we should presently ‘mark the good effects of "Yn the faith ft thi post in the of this gospel the apostles trusted and rejoiced, and through the ages all who have cordially believed have found it a suppor* under the various trials of this world and a glorious hope of an immortal fe through our Lord Jesus Christ. BELOW THE NORMAL. ‘The City’s Death Rate at a Low Fig- ure Last Week. “The death rate again fell below the normal during last week,” says the weekly report of Health Officer Hammett. “As compared with the previous week the total number of deaths decreased 31, and the rate went down from 2.5 to 17.8 This indicates an excellerit condition of the public health. ‘The mortality among children under five years of age and of those under a year old, which was quite high during the sum- mer months, has again declined to the Proper annual average. But few cases of malarial ailments have occurred during the season and but one death therefrom oc- curred during the week. This is the month in which diphtheria reaches its maximum intensity. There were 15 new cases of this disease reported and 9 deaths therefrom. Scarlet fever presented one case with no death, while the contagious diseases re-, main almost wholly in abeyance.” The report shows: Number of deaths, white, 59; colored, 39. Death rate per 1,000 per annum: White, 15.7; colored, 22.5. Total Population, 17.8 Thirty were under five years of age, 19 were under one year old, and 19 over sixty years. Twenty-two of the deaths occurred in hospitals and public in- stitutions. The deaths by classes were as follows: Zymotic, 2%; constitutional, 21; local, 37; developmental, 12; violence, 3. ‘The principal causes of death were: Diph- theria, 9; consumption, 11; diarrhoeal, 4; typhoid fever, 6; malarial fever, 1; pneu- monia, 2: bronchitis, 1; measles, 1; ‘whoop- ing cough, 1; kidney diseases, 5; meningitis, 1;_cancers, 2. Births reported: 37 white males, 23 white females, 20 colored males, 17 colored fe- males. Marriages reported: 33 white, 7 col- ored. Still-births reported: 3 white, 2 col- ored. —— THEY ARE FIGHTERS, But Edwara Frank Wi for Six Months. The K street bridge came near being the scene of a homicide last night, when three young negroes met and engaged in a fight. Edward and Frank Harris were together when John Busey came along. John walk- ed a little nearer the two brothers than the latter thought necessary and one of them asked: “Who in the h— are you walking over?" “I ain't walked over you,” was Busey’s response. “You want to fight?" asked one of the brothers. “Come over the bridge and I'll give you all you want.” “I don’t want to fight,” sald Busey. “I'm going home.” He did not go home, however, before the two brothers came near killing him. One of them dealt him a severe blow and then Frank held him while Edward used a razor on him. The sharp weapon inflicted an ugly wound and the victim soon afterwards appeared in a drug store, where his wound was dressed. Policeman O'Brien of the third precinct heard of the affair and he went to the home of the Harris brothers and arrested them. ‘They appeared in Judge Miller's court this morning to answer a charge of assault and Edward was also charged with con- cealed weapons, In disposing of the assault case Judge Miller said he would give the defendants six months each and said he would make it a year, but he saw no use in doing so as there was no work down there for them to do. Edward was given an additional sentence of six months for having the razor. Not Fight ——>—_—_ Coroners and the Court. ‘To the Editor of The Brening Star: In your Issue of last evering “C” makes an argument for the appointment of the coroner by the court. He writes: “It is the function of the coroner's office to ferret out foul play in cases of unknown death, and it therefore belongs to the judicial branch of the District government.” The conclusion does not necessarily follow the premises, since it is the duty of the police department to ferret out violations of the law to as great an extent as it is the duty of the courts to do s0. 1 am aware that the grand jury is charg- ed to investigate cases of alleged violations of the law, and that this is done under the direction of the district attorney, who is an officer of the court. The district attor- ney is not, however, appointed by the court, nor can he be removed by it. Moreover, in the present highly organized state of society, the vast majority of cases present- ed to the srand jury by him are brought to his attention throngh the police. The work of the court in ferreting out crime is at the present day reduced to a minimum by the thorough organization of the police system, and this system is essential to mu- nicipal government. The duty of the court it at the present time almost confined to judging cases in which it is already alleged ‘that some violation of the law exists. Iam referring now only to criminal cases, with which alone the coroner's office has to deal, It is just here that the duties of the coroner separate from those of the court. In an inquest held before a coroner there |is never any violation of the law alleged. j1t_is his duty with the assistance of the jury to investigate facts relating to a |death and to determine whether they are sufficient to warrant any violation of the law being charged. If such is found to be the case he reports the facts at once to the judicial branch of the government for |further investigation and trial. It is to be noted that this is exactly the work with which the police are charged. The duty of |coroner is, therefore, essetitially police |duty and there is no more reason for the appointment of the coroner being made | by the court than there is for the appoint. ment of the officers of the police depart: in the same way. aE WM. C. WOODWARD. ——__ Expensive Corns, Wm. Napper, a colored boy, about eigh- teen years old, was arrested yesterday on a charge of theft, and when he reached | police headquarters Detective Rhodes found on him what was once a razor. The present appearance of the weapon is that of a small saw. “I had it to cut corns,” was the pl the prisoner, but William learned this morn, ing that he had better have gone to a chi- | ropodist and paid 25 cents for ‘the removal of each corn, for Judge Miller fined him | $50 or four months in jail. The charge of theft was dismissed. : ——>_ Burial Permits, During the twenty-four hours ending at noon today burial permits were issued from the health office for the following: White— | Jacob, Hoermann. 59, years: Francis J.

Numerous October Weddings of In- terest—Personal Notes. Mrs. Lamont went to New York today for @ short visit. The future home of the Sec; retary of War on Lafayette square is rapid- ly receiving the finishing touches, although {t will be @ fortnight or so before the house will be in any way ready for occupancy. When finished the house will be without ex- ception the most spacious of the cabinet residences. A great deal of the work that has occupied the last three months, the re~ laying of drains, the introduction of modern plumbing and cementing the basement floors and the laying of new floors on the first floor, is all of a character that scarcely shows the time necessary for ¥s completion. | ‘The changes that will be apparent to thosé familiar with the house in its palmy days are mainly the new papering and painting and the elegant new electric and gas fix- tures. These have done the wonders. The wood work throughout the whole house has ; been given an ivory white finish, and the | wall paper is in keeping with the old-fash- foned generous size of the rooms. The two large drawing rooms, one at the left of the hall as you enter and the other a much larger room across the back of the house, are papered in white and gold. It is not Mrs. Lamont’s intention to furnish the large drawing room except in the simplest | way, so that when necessary it will take but a few minutes’ work to change it into, ball room. The floor is as smooth as a par- lor table and will only be covered here and there with rugs. The dining room adjoins this room, and the wall paper is a deep wine color in a brocaded pattern. At the right of the hall- Way, at the entrance, will be the library. The’ walls are covered with a greenish bayer that has a deep flowered frieze. ‘The hails all the way up are papered in a soft shade of terra cotta. One of the pret- ‘test corners in the house is the breakfast room, adjoining the library. The work in| the upper rooms has so far progressed that | yesterday some of the carpets were being laid, although in other parts of the house the’ paperhangers have yet several days’ work of finishing up. Miss Herbert spent a few days here last week arranging her future residence, the Ray house, corner of 2th and F streets, which the Secretary of the Navy has leas- ed. It will be good news for dancing cir- cles to hear that Miss Herbert is having @ new floor laid in the large drawing room on the parlor floor, and that balls are to be one of the features of her hospitalities each’ winter. . At noon yesterday in St. Mark's Episco- pal Church Miss Ellen Biddle was marrie@ to Mr. Lewis Shipman of New York at Berkeley Springs, W. Va. Miss Biddle, who is the daughter of Col. James Biddle, U.S.A. was attired in a gown of white satin and carried white | flowers, She was given away by her | father. Messrs. David Biddle, Jack Biddle, | Mr. Wade and Mr. Giles were the ushers: Miss Wilkins of Baltimore was the maid of honor; Mr. Shipman, brother of the groom, the best man. ‘The couple will spend thelr honeymoon in Col. Biddle’s residence at Berkeley, from which all the rest of the family have de- parted. ! Mrs, William lay and her young son will } leave shortly for Europe and will be absent for six months. Most of this time she will spend in Paris. Her house on Jefferson; place has been renteg to Miss Mildred Lea | who has spent several winters here of late years, but has not heretofore kept house. Mrs. and Miss Stewart, the wife and daughter of the Nevada Senator, have re- turned to the city after their’ extensive travels of the last four or five months, during which time they have been in Mex- ico, more latterly on the Pacific coast and on the way east in Chicago. Senator Stew- | art's family will spend this winter in their | residence on Vermont avenue. Miss Stew- art will make her formal debut the coming season. Mrs. Dolph does not believe that she and! f, Miss Ruth Dolph will go to San Francisco to be present at the launching end chris- tening of the new battle-ship Oregon. Miss Ruth has been invited by. Secretary Her- bert to christen the ship, but the press of officiel duties will, it is feared, prev } the distinguished party from starting at! had been planned some weeks ago. If the. start Is made it must be within the nest? few days, and whether or not Secretary and Miss Herbert can go is as yet uncertain. ‘The marriage of Miss Bertha Gerolt Ken- naugh to Mr. William Albert L. Gresham, which takes place tonicht at St. John's Church, at 8 o'clock, i interest a large circle. The ceremony will be performed by Rev. Dr. Mackay-Smith, assisted by Rev. Clarence Bispham. Judge W.
