There were no special services in any of the churches except that reformation day was celebrated at the German Lutheran Church on Cameron and Alfred streets; Rev. S. Glaser made the event the promi- nent subject of discourse at the services. Rev. Chas. Baldwin of Washington preach- ed at Trinity M. E. Church. Rev. Earl Grammer conducted the services of the morning at St. Paul’s Church, and Student Plummer those in the afternoon. No cal? for a pastor has yet been made for this chureh.

Kent, the democratic candi- date for lieutenant governor, arrived here Saturday, and was greeted in the evening by a throng which filled the entire opera house. He delivered an address on the oc- casion, as did Senator Daniel of Virginia, and Representative Patterson of Tennessee. Mr. Kent, during his stay here, paid a visit it.

White of Wash- ington, came here over the Washington ferry this morning, and the interment took place at St. Mary’s cemetery on Church street. The elder brother of the lad who was buried today was brought here for burial some ten days ago. These children were the grandsons of Mr. David Williams of this city. An inquest was held this morning upon the remains of Martin Rector, whose death here on Saturday from injuries inflicted from a railroad train at Manassas has al- been reported to The Star. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. Mr. peal remains were buried near Clifton lay. A colored woman, named Hannah Brooks, who imagines that she has been conjured by Louisa Hughes, had the latter brought before the mayor on the charge of disor- derly conduct in sprinkling some white and black powder on her pathway. The case was dismissed. Mr. Joseph Lash on Saturday vomited up an antmal very like a snafl. He had suf- fered very much from stomach trouble. Mr. Frederick R. Windsor, well known in this city and in Washington, died at his home here on Saturday night. He was the brother of Mr. D. R. Windsor, Gen. Ma- hone’s copartner in Washington real estate, and was himseif a man of means. —.—_— HYATTSVILLE. The barn of Mr. James E. Waugh at Charlton Heights, valued at about $3,000, was destroyed by fire last Friday night. A carriage, wagon, buggy, several sets of har- ness and a considerable amount of feed were consumed by the flames. The prop- erty was insured. His residence also caught fire, and was damaged to the amount of about $500 before the flames could be extinguished. Had it not been for the timely efforts made by Messra. P. A. Scaggs and Geo. B. McClenald to save the house, it would have burned completely down. Mr. Waugh and his family and col- ored man were absent at the time of the fire. It is generally believed it was the work of an incendiary. An enthusiastic democratic meeting was held at Grange Hall, Beltsville, last Sat- urday night. Mr. Michael Smith presided and Mr. John Paul Boileau acted as sec- retary. The meeting was addressed by Geo. M. Smith, Jos. 8, Wilson and Dent Downing, candidates for the house of del- egates. James C. Rodgers, P. A. Scaggs and Wililam D. ie, candidates for the state senate, and Geo. S. Dove, candidate for sheriff, were present. Mr. John T. Burch, president of the Prince George’: democratic association, offered a resolu- tion indorsing the candidates as the representatives of ‘the people, which was adopted. Prof. Jas. A. Joyce rendered ap- propriate airs on the cornet. An interesting concert was given at ’ Hall in Branchville last Friday night for the purpose of raising sufficient means to purchase a library for the public school at that place, known as the “Piney Grove Academy.” Violin solos were given by Dr. Lee and daughter, Mrs. Cooper played on the harp and Prof. Joyce ren- dered severai choice selections on the cor- net.

ROCKVILLE. The next term of the circuit court for this county will commence on the second Mon- day of November, and judging from the number of cases docketed the business will occupy several weeks. The following num- ber of cases appear on the docket: Crimi- nals, 55; recognizances,47: appeals, 57; trials, 55; foreign trials, 2; judicials, 54; appear ances, 19%. Among the cases brought here for trial is that of the state of Maryland against Wm. Leonard, removed from Fred- erick county, is likely to attract the most attention. Leonard is charged with the murder of Jesse T. Anderson, by shooting him on the railroad near Lime Kiln sta- tion in that county, on the 6th of Septem- ber last, and for which he was indicted at the last term of the circuit court for Fred- erick county. Anderson was employed as a repair hand on the railroad and his as- sailant, Leonard, was engaged at work in a canning factory in the neighborhood. The alleged cause for the murderer's assault was that Anderson had circulated a report that Leonard had been drunk, when the lJatter armed himself with a gun and went in pursuit of the former and him at work on the road shot him. The counsel for the state in this case are Edward G. Eichelberger, prosecuting attorney of Fred- erick county, and Edward C. Peter, occu- pying the same position in this county. The attorneys for the defense are Messrs. John C. Motter and J. E. R. Wood of Frederick county. It is probable that local counsel will also be engaged for the defense, and that the plea urged will be temporary in- sanity.

Mrs. Ourand, Mrs. Doyle, Judge Miller and Charlie Semmes had their homes en- tered by burglars Saturday night, between the hours of 10 and 3,who effected entrances by cutting the doors. At the three last named places the rascals succeeded in getting some clothing and marketing,which they carried into the orchard back of Sem- mes’ house, where they literally chopped it to pleces, making it difficult to understand the motive for robbery. The Junior Society of Christian Endeavor of Takoma gave a social in the Sunday school foom Saturday afternoon, when games and amusements of various kinds were indulged in, and refreshments served to the young people. This society is mak- ing a showing creditable alike to the junior society and the adult society, from which it had its birth. The graveling and grading of Holly ave- nue, with the cleaning out of gutters, of weeds and grass on Oak, Holly and Maple avenues, was a step in the right direction. The service in the Presbyterian Church yesterday morning was well attended. The singing was u feature of this service, solos being sung by Mr. Theo.

The people of Maryland and Virginia gathered in force at Brunswick Saturday to join hands in celebrating the completion and opening of the new iron bridge across the Potomac river at that place, where no bridge has been since the old wooden structure that was burned by the confed- erates in 1862 to prevent the passage of the Union army, who were in hot pursuit of their enemy on the Virginia shore. The new bridge is a magnificent structure of ten spans, of 171 feet each, with a width of 16 feet. There were present at the formal opening fully 5,000 people, and the exer- cises were very interesting. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon a parade was formed of the Lovettsville, Va., band and a thousand peo- ple, inciuding officers and stockholders of sue Driuge company, PULUC Schovi COuUren, mayor and cily council of brunswick, Ju- nwt Uruer of American Mecounics, Ked wien, Kowghis or rytmas and cilizens. aney proceeded to the puvlic school nouse in Srunswick, where @ sarge American fag was presented to tne scnuol on benalf of the American Mechanics by H. #.

Recently, while going over his farm on South mountain, Henry Kephart, who lives near “Dahlen,” the summer home of Mrs. Dahigren, found a curious stone, light in weight and porous in construction, with a distinctly sulphurous odor. It bears a strong resemblance to specimens which have been found in the same vicinity by members of the Johns Hopkins University, and which they decided were remains of an ancient lava flow. The annual flower show of the Frederick County Floricultural Society will be heid this year on the 8th, 9th and 10th of No- vember, in the armory of the Frederick Riflemen on East Patrick street. ————— FALLS CHURCH, A meeting of the town council was held Friday night, with Councilmen Messrs. W. B. Patterson, J. W. Brown, L. C. Young, G. L. Erwin, W. M. Ellison and H. L. Tur- ner present. Absent—J. D. Payne. Mr. James Rawlings petitioned for the privi- lege of erecting a porch across the side- walk in front of his store. This the coun- ceil declined, but gave permission to erect an awning. The question of the contin- uance of lighting the street lamps was dis- cussed at some length. Councilman Tur- ner moved that the $70 paid in by the vil- lage improvement society be returned and the society released from the payment of the $30 due, and the council be released from its obligation to keep the lamps in order and lighted. This was lost, Coun- cilmen Turner and Erwin alone voting for it. It was, however, voted that the mayor be appointed a committee to wait on the society at its next meeting and endeavor to affect an agreement whereby the coun- cil may be relieved from its obligations in to street lighting. Mr. M. E. Church stated that he was prepared to pay his taxes and asked for the same rate of reduction as was voted the R. and D. R. R. for prompt payment. This the council declined to grant on motion of Councilman Erwin. A complaint was made by the Christian Endeavor Society of the conduct of persons who gathered around their place of meeting Sunday afternoons, and the sergeant was instructed to look after the matter. Considerable routine bus- iness was transacted, and the council ad- jJourned to regular time. Mr. E. F. Moulton and wife of Massa- chusetts are visiting their nephew, Mr. M. E. Church.

They Have No Respect Even for a Police Ooart Judge. More Intent on Mischief Than Plander —Have Visited Many Houses— How They Operate. ‘The police are experiencing a repetition of the work of a band of villains who opera in this section of the country more than twenty years ago, and they are unable to ‘account for the singular conduct of those who are now visiting so many houses and destroying so much property. It is not that the intruders carry off so much property, but they are destroying all sorts of valuable household goods, clothing and bric-a-brac, as well as doing other damage. Then there is a degree of charity about their conduct which makes their operations show that they are not out for stealing so much as they are for annoyance. They invariably enter houses through the kitchen, either by removing a portion of the door or forcing open a window, and if the servant finds her cooking utensils in the proper place the next morning she is exceedingly fortunate, for in no other part of the house, except in the occupied bed chambers, are things likely to ‘be in good condition, for seldom do the in- truders go in such portions of the house, although, in some instances, they even ven- tured to the bedside of the sound sleepers. For several weeks they have been carrying on their operations in Maryland and Virgin- ia, and finally they reached the District. In the states mentioned there were evidently two men together and they traveled in a vehicle of some sort, for at nouses where depredations were committed persons pass- ing had seen the vehicle and the wagon one place to another, and it was not an un- usual sight for a farmer, when he went downstairs, to find a dead chicken or piece of meat hanging where he had left a lamp the night before. Judge Miller a Victim. After the sad experiences of the Mary- land and Virginia farmers several resi- dents of the county above Georgetown were visited, and next the intruders ap- peared at Fort Myer, where hundreds of Collars’ worth of articles of wearing ap- perel and household furniture were de- stroyed. Mount Pleasant was next visited, and there the intruders cut carpets and furniture and smeared the houses with filth. Takoma Park was visited Saturday night, and Judge Miller was the worst suf- ferer. Three hours later Mrs. Doyle, door neighbor, called to him, saying had seen a burglar. Although the judge had lost his marketing several he thought Mrs. Doyle only imagined that her house hed been visited in the manner stated. “But I'll be over in a minute,” he said to her from the front window. judge put on his clothes and was about to start out, when the cold weather reminded him that he needed an overcoat. He went to the coat rack in the hall, but his coat was gone. “They've been here, too,” the judge said. An investigation was made, and the judge discovered that a pane of glass had been cut from the kitchen window. In some rooms in the house every drawer had been ransacked, and part of Sunday's dinner as well as the overcoat was missing. A pack- age of sausage meat was among the miss- ing articles, and this was afterward found in Mrs. Doyie’s house, where the intruder had stuffed it into the pockets of Mrs. Doyle's brother's coat. In Mrs. Doyle's house every bureau drawer been ran- eacked, and nothing was in order, although the only thing missed was a pair of shoes. In both houses there was silverware and plenty of portable property, but nothing in this line was touched. Judge Miller's cuff buttons were taken from his cuffs, and the missing overcoat was found on the lawn, where it had been cut into carpet rags. The pair of shoes taken from Mrs. Doyle's presented the same appearance when found on the lawn. A dark lantern was un- doubtedly carried by the men, for one of Judge Miller's children cried out only a short time Sefore the affair was discovered. ‘The judge went to the nursery to see what was the matter, and calling the little one by his pet name, “Brother,” he asked what ‘Was the matter. 4 “I saw a lightning bug on the wall, papa,” was the response of the innocent little child. It 1s thought that the men were in the house at that time and were frightened off by the movements of the judge about the nursery. Judge Miller is surprised at the failure of the men to use chloroform, as they did over at Fort Myer only a few nights ago. Other Visits, At the house of Capt. Lewis the men were frightened off by the dogs. It is evident that they also selected the house of Mr. Cushman for a visit, as the footprints of a horse being led by a man were visible about his house yesterday morning. The house of a colored man named Simms, on the Piney Branch road, between Takoma and Bright- wood, was visited. It was about 3 a.m. when his house was reached and had he heeded the warning given by his little dog Economy Headquarters FOR ALL. 98e. for Men's $1.50 Slippers. $1.65 for Ladies’ $2 Button Shoes. $2.65 for Ladies’ $3 Button Shoes. $2.65 for Ladies’ $8 Blucher Shoes. $8 for Grover’s $4 Hand-turn Comfort Shoes. $2.65 for Men’s $8 Calf Bluchers. $8.75 for Men's $6 French Patent Calf Shoes.

In his house the men Went through the usual program. A thorough search was made and sixty cents found in his clothes disappeared. When the mea Were in the house the little dog went up- stairs and pulled at the covering on his master’s bed and barked at the same time. Mrs. Simms wanted her husband to get up and see what the trouble was, but he thought that only a noise outside was caus- ing the disturbance. Mr. Simms’ good clothes were destroyed. These were the only houses about Takoma which were visited by the men and the police are looking for them. When the same kind of crimes were com- mitted about twenty years ago the men seemed to delight in visiting stores where the owners lived in the same building. At several such places they removed smoked meats from the stores and hung them about the house in place of pictures. At that time the officers were sent out in citizens’ clothes, but the men were not apprehended. ++ BRINGING BODIES HERE. Coroner Woodward Writes a Letter m the bject. Coroner Woodward has written to the Commissioners upon the subject of certifi- cates of death brought into the District from neighboring states. He refers espe- cially to cases of deaths by railroad trains when the bodies are brought to this city. In concluding he says: “In view of the frequent occurrence of such cases as those mentioned I would sug- gest that the matter be called to the atten- tion of the state authorities and some un- derstanding reached so that by acting to- gether no case of violent death shall thorough investigation. Either the body in these cases should not be taken out of the state, or if it is so moved, it should be un- derstood by the railroad bringing it into this District that it must be promptly re- turned to the state in which the death oc- curred. In some cases when the expense of interring the body will not fall on this District it might be allowable for the coro- ner from the state to bring his jury here to view the remains.” a At the Churches.
