After Thirty Years of Service He Seeks Rest—An: i at the Service Yesterday. Rev. Dr. John Chester, pastor of the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, an- nounced to his congregation yesterday morning his intention of retiring from the pastorate next April, when he will have completed thirty years of service as pas- tor of the church. The announcement, which was made in a few words at the close of the communion service, was a painful surprise to the members of the con- gregation, who are much attached to their pastor. Only the members of the board of sessions had had any intimation of his purpose. There were evidences of the deepest emot' the part of his Rev. Dr. Jouu Chestey. hearers and a general use of handker- chiefs to wipe away the tears that could not be held back. Dr. Chester made his announcement in the following words: “My failing health and advancing years remind me that, however pleasant and profitable have been our relations as pastor and people, they must soon draw to a close. My desire is to end my pastorate in the present full tide of the church’s prosperity, rather than wait for a future which might be impaired by my own declining strength. Next April I terminate the thirtieth year of my uninterrupted pleasant relation with this church as its pastor. I shall then re- quest you to unite with me in asking the presbytery to grant a dissolution of the pastora! relation. I make this announce- ment thus early, with the hope that we can make the few remaining months a period of spiritual blessing, so that who- ever succeeds me may find the church fully equipped for its great work in this com- munity.” The members of the congregation are al- ready planning steps to prevent the entire dissolution of the relations that have ex- isted so many years. Dr. Chester is the only pastor this church has ever had. Through his faithful labors it has grown from a small handful of worshipers, holding services in a school room, to a congregation of 600 communi- cants, owning church property, unincum- bered, worth $60,000. In April, 1864, the Rev. Dr. Chester came here from Burlington, N. J., and organized what is now known as the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church. Its few members worshiped in a little frame school house south of the Capitol, with tallow dips giv- ing out the light, and amid other primitive surroundings. Then, as the little church grew, it removed to the corner of 3d and Pennsylvania avenue to a building pre- viously used as a market house. There the congregation worshiped for a while, when a little chapel was built upon the present site of the church, 4th and B streets southeast. For a while, however, the con- gregation worshiped in one of the rooms of the Capitol, previous to taking posses- sion of the little chapel replaced by the present edifice. To Dr. Chester's efforts is due the success of the church. and by his congregation he has ever been greatly beloved and respected.. An Interesting Church History. There are many interesting points in the early history of the church. It was at first known as the Capitol Hill Church, and was organized in a little school house cor- ner of 3d and A streets southeast by the Presbytery of the Potomac, April 11, 1864, with thirty-four members, as follows: Mrs. Elizabeth D. Alward, Mr. John R. Arrison, Mr. and Mrs. James Batchen, Mr. Theodore Blague, Mr. and Mrs. James T. Birchard, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Brown, Mr. David B. Brown, Mrs. Rachel A. Chester, Miss Mary Ann Davidson, Mrs. Mary Ellis, Mrs. Mary Grimley, Mrs. Lucy W. Kellogg, Mrs. Isabella Kiddie, Mrs. Mary Ann Hollister, Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Lathrop, Mr. Robert Leitch, Mr. and Mrs. MacKie, Mrs. Anna V. Moss, Mrs. Sarah Parsons, Mrs. Ellen Roper, Mr. and Mrs. John G. Schott, Mr. Wm. Shearer, Mr. and Mrs. James Simpson, Mrs. Rachel Swartz, Miss Margaret E.' Taylor, Mr. John Taylor and Mrs. Janet Walker. Rev. John Chester was then formally in- stalled as pastor; Chas. E. Lathrop and Robert Leitch as elders; John R. Arrison, Jas. T, Birchard and Jas. Simpson as dea- cons. The chapel erected at 4th and B, the pre- decessor of the present church building, was dedicated February 12, 1865. This chapel had a remarkable history. It was constructed in Burlington, J. on the Delaware river, and brought down on a ship to the Potomac, its materials arriving here in such finished condition that they only required to be put together. The chap- el was used by this church for a Space of seven years, then sold to the public schools and moved to the corner of A and 7th streets northeast, where it was used by the Capitol Hill Baptist Church, then by a con- gregation of colored people. At present it is used by the Grace Southern Me:hodist Chureh. Thus this humble frame structure has sheltered four different churches in the first years of their history. The foundation of the present commodious church building was laid April 10, 1868, and the Capitol Hill Church was united at that time with the Metropolitan Church, an en- terprise which had been started, but had Progressed no further than the purchase of a church site on E street northwest. That lot was sold after some legal difficulties had been overcome, and after many delavs De- cember 8, 1872, the edifice was dedicated. Since then the church has prospered. ee Star of Hope Lodge.

Mr. Abell of Brooklyn Says That Dan ‘Will Not Play There or Anywhere. The hope that Danny Richardson might be a member of the Washington hase ball nine under a change in management next geason seems to be ill-founded, if Mr. Abell of the Brooklyn club is able to carry out his threat. “Richardson will never play ball again,” said Mr. Abell yesterday. “He will stay right up on the shelf where he is now, and can grow dusty with the other ex-stars. He has not treated the Brooklyn club right, and I propose to make an example of him. | Richardson cost us duriag the past season | about $4,000, and gave us nothing for cur money. In the first place, we paid Waxner | $1,000 for his release, and agreed to pay him |a salary of $2,600. After we had paid W: |ner, Richardson threatened to sue the W: ington club for $500 due on his ironclad con- tract with that organization. Wagner tcld Richardson to come to shington and |play, but refused to give nim what was | due. Then the Brooklyn club was compelled | to pay Richardson $500 in crder to satisfy | him. “No, I shall not consent to his transfer to another club, nor will I agree to trade him off for players that we may need. He'll just stay where he is now. 1t's good enough for him.” Mr. Al 's ability to prevent Richardson contracting with another league club and playing elsewhere than at Brooklyn 1.ay be curtailed when brought face to ‘ace with an order of the court. The decision in Pitcher Gumbert’s suit against tne Chicago club for preventing his playing vall excep: at a certain salary is likely to have bearing on the Richardson case. The iatter said last spring that he would probably not play another season. As his withdrawal was voluntary he will probably not care much for Mr. Abell’s pronunciamento, but if he is persuaded to return, a very pretty iegal fight, involving the powers of base ball magnates, will likely follow. —— THE FLORIST: CLUB. They Will Commence Their An Chrysanthemum Show Tomorrow The third annual chrysanthemum show given by the Washington Florists’ Club will commence tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock in the National Rifles’ Armory, and will last through Friday evening. It prom- ises to be by long odds the most successful show of the sort ever held in this city, for there has been the greatest develop- ment in this line of flowers during the past few years, and the very latest and finest will be on exhibition this week. There will be a concert each afternoon and evening by Stein & Andresen’s orchestra, and Mr. C. F. Hale, superintendent of the exhibi- tion, and the committee on decorations, of which Mr. H. Ley is chairman, have Spared no expense in arranging for a most elaborate and enjoyable exhibition. The lower hall will contain the plants and the upper hall the cut flowers. The display will include chrysanthemums of every va- riety, also roses, violets, carnations and a miscellaneous collection of decorative plants. The exhibits will be divided into forty-nine classes, and the cash prizes, ranging from $2 to $0, aggregate nearly The following well-known society ladies are patronesses of the exhibition: Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Stevenson, Mrs. Greshai Mrs. Carlisle, Mrs. Lamont, Miss Herbert, Mrs. Mrs. Morrill, Mrs. Hoar, Mrs. .

Yesterday afternoon the North Capitol Presbyterian Sunday School celeb-ated its third anniversary. This Synday school was organized in the basement of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Solon C. Kemon, 13 New York avenue northwest, on the second Sunday of November, 1890, where it remained for about ten weeks, whence it was removed to its present quarters in the little building at the corner of New York avenue and North Capitol street. The exterior of this building is quite unattractive, but much has been done within to make what was once a d:ngy blacksmith shop bright and comfortable. The main room was crowed yesterday, though but nine visitors were present. The statistical report of the se-retary-treasurer showed a marked and nealthy increase both in membership and contrivutions, The sing- ing was under the direction of Mr. Harry Kimball, who has been selected as the new assistant superintendent, with Mrs. Solon ©. Kemon at the organ. The opening prayer was offered by the Rev. Charles B. Ramsdell, pastor of the North Presbyterian Church, with which the majority of the offi- cers and teachers of this school are con- nected. Mr. F. L. Moore and Ar. \illiam Ballantyne made short and ‘nteresting ad- dresses. Letters of congratulation ind en- couragement from Rev. Drs. J. G. Craighead, Teunis S$. Hamlin and John Chester were also read. The present working force of the school consists of Irwin B. Linton, superintendent; Harry Kimball, assistant’ superintendent and precentor; Solon C. Kemon, secretary and treasurer; Mrs. Solon C. Kemon, 0: ganist of main school; Miss Jennie RK. Fur- mage, superintendent of primary Cepart- ment; Miss Mary Kaiser, a. intendent; Miss Louise teachers in main school: . Irwin B. Linton, Miss Bessie H. Hobson, Miss Minnie Schmid, Miss Mamie E.

The following named participated B. 4 | RESURRECTIONISTS AT WORK Tt is Believed That the Three Negroes Captured Are of That Stamp. Others Rob a Grave While These Are Caged—The Body, How- ever, is Left. The arrest at an early hour Saturday morning of the three negroes in a wagon on the Brentwood road, as published in Saturday's Star, caused some comment in |police circles. As stated Saturday it was | supposed by some of the officers that the men were probably the burglars who have been visiting all sections of the District and destroying so much furniture and wear- ing apparel. The fact that the men were in a wagon gave rise to this belief, be- cause when the men appeared at Takoma they had a horse and wagon. When they appeared in the Police Court Saturday their counsel, Lawyer Moss, demanded a jury trial and the case went over. Judge Kimball saw the arsenal taken from the prisoners, the large sack and rope ladder and then fixed the bond at $500. The negroes were unable to give bail and they were thereupon committed to jail. As published in Saturday's Star, George Marlow, sr., one of the prisoners, is an ex- convict and his home is in Ivy City. In that suburban village the residents were delighted Saturday evening when they read im Saturday's Star the account of the ar- |rest of Marlow. Being arrested as they were near Columbia Harmony cemetery, the first impression made upon the officers was that the men were resurrectionists, and they are still of that opinion. The ap- pearance of the burglars in East Washing- ton Saturday night while the negroes were in jail dispelled the idea that they were the burglars, while the interest taken in the men by physicians caused the officers to believe that they were violaters of sepulcher. A resident of Ivy CVity called upon Mr. Mullowney, the prosecuting at- torney, this morning, to tell him some- thing of the elder Marlow, as many resi- dents of that suburb are anxious to get the case tried, as they are desirous of get- ting rid of Marlow as a neighbor. Others at Work. While the three men were enjoying a night's rest in jail Saturday night, resur- rectionists were at work in Mount Zion cemetery, a colored burying ground on the suburbs of Georgetown. The cemetery was visited sometime dur- ing the night and there in sight of several dwelling houses the men did their ghast!y work and took from the grave the body of Spencer Mitchell, a colored man, who departed this life earlier in the week and whose remains reached the supposed last resting place of the colored driver. Mitchell had been injured by a horse and his deatn followed in a few days. At the hospital an autopsy was performed and on Friday the body reached the grave. Henry Bowles, the colored sexton of the cemetery, noticed yesterday morning that Mitchel’s grave had been disturbed and following footprints from the grave he soon saw blood stains on the ground. Following these stains he went across Rock creek and along up the hill to Massachusetts avenue he discove:ed portions of the entrails of the dead man. Finally he found the body that had been stripped of its clothing and dragged so far from the grave. When the resurrection- ists reached the spot where they left the body it is supposed that a physician saw the body and did not want it because of Pegg mortem examination having been made. It was about 9 o'clock yesterday morning when the body was found and the police removed it to the morgue. Undertaker Zur- horst of Capitol Hill prepared the body for its second burial, which took place today. ECT Funeral of Henry Turnbull. Funeral services were held this morning at St. Paul's Episcopal Church on 234 street over the remains of the late Henry Turn- bull, who died on Friday night at his res- idence, 2017 F street. The cause of death was consumption. Mr. Turnbull was the son of the late Col. William Turnbull, and for a number of years past held a clerkship in the War Department. He was formerly a resident of New York and was a well- known clubman and was prominent in society. A good deal of notoriety was given to an affair with F. J. Loubat, a wealthy Frenchman, at the Union Club. Turnbull knocked his opponent down. Charges were preferred and both were dropped from the rolls of the club. Subsequently a divorce was granted to Turnbull's wife, and then Turnbull came to this city, where he has since lived a retired life. > — Officers Elected. The senior class of the medical and dental departments of the Columbian University Saturday evening elected officers as follows: William N. Sayre, president; Henry M.

Mattingly, who appears for the defendant in the suit, filed with Re- corder Bruce a paper requesting that the deeds be not delivered to Mr. Mackey. The | latter on Saturday presented his receipt at the office, and the papers were not deliv- | ered, and after a somewhat emphatic talk as to the duties of the office, Mr. Mackey went off determined to regain possession | | of the papers. ‘This he did by filing a suit in replevin in the name of F.

Some Ques Asked the Attorney as to Assessments, In considering the question of the choice of a line for a 12-inch water main to supply Brookland, and portions of the suburbs ly- ing between the Boundary and the Soldiers’ Home grounds, the question of what prop- erty is assessable and what is not becomes @ matter of importance. The attention of the Commissioners was called to this matter py Capt. Derby, and upon his recommendation the following questions involving an interpretation of section 8, chapter 117, Stats. at Large, were sent to the attorney for the district for his legal advice. If the water main be laid on Michigan avenue adjoining the grounds of the Sol- diers’ Home, are these grounds assessable for a'depth of 100 feet, the same as any other real estate, or would it be heid that they are exempted under the head of “the Soldiers’ Home and grounds actually occu- pied by such buildings?” Could the assessment be levied upon the grounds of the Catholic University abutting on Michigan avenue? Could it be levied upon the grounds of the Glenwood cemetery abutting on said avenue. If a main is laid on Lincoln avenue, can Prospect Hill cemetery be assessed? —_s—__ An Enjoyable Evening. The regular Friday evening entertainment of Martyn College of Oratory drew a large audience to its auditorium. Several new Scenes were used for the first time, and, as each appeared, the audience applauded heartily. The scenery and stage effects in- clude every improvement known to the best equipped theaters. Martyn College, this year, has the lazgest classes in its history, and many pupils participated in the Friday entertainment. Each pupil, even in recita- tions, is allowed the privilege of any stage setting desired, and this, with the costumes and skill of the pupils, awoke unusual in- A PLEASANT INCIDENT. A Hospitable Lady Received a Pleas- ant and Acceptable Surprise. A pretty little incident occurred in this city last week as the result of a kind act done by a lady on the 4th of March last. On that day the Bushwick Democratic Club, a rich and powerful organization from Brooklyn, was compelled to stand several hours while the parade was form- ing. While they were marching and coun- termarching to keep warm a lady with hu- mane instincts, who lived on the square, boiled several pots of coffee and invited the whole company into the house to get warm and partake of refreshments. The Brooklynites gladly accepted this hospital- ity and offered to pay for it, but their en- tertainer would accept no money, so they went away, after thanking her profusely. The boys from Brooklyn did not forget this by any means, and they determined to show their gratitude in some substan- tial manner if possible. Last week a com- mittee of two from the Bushwick Club, Mr. Wm. R. McGuire and Mr. Frederick Keller, same on to Washington to see if they could locate their benefactor. They finally succeeded in finding the house on Capitol Hill, where they had been so hos- pitably entertained, but the woman had moved away. With the assistance of Mr. Geo. W. Driver, they discovered her where- abouts and found also that her fortunes had greatly changed for the worse since last March, and that she was in very re- duced circumstances. Before the two gen- tlemen went back to Brooklyn she was the richer by a check for $250, which was pre- sented with the compliments of the Bush- wick Democratic Club. —_—_»___ Medals of Ho: imgton St ‘ dents, Four graduates of Spencerian Business College have received medals for honorable service in the living exhibit of American business colieges—Wm.

Heath in the Columbus Dispatch. Washington has a police judge who should have a counterpart in every city in this country. Judge Miller has no friends to favor and no enemies to punish. The consequence is a model court. He proba- bly has more horse sense than any judge of his kind in this country, and it will be strange if his good sense and humanity and decency are not rewarded by promo- tion. But the judge of a court in the District of Columbia can afford to be an example, a model. for other tribunals of justice. He is appointed for life, and he realizes that the protection guaranteed htm is for the purpose of insuring usefulness. Judge Miller has resolved to stop the prac- tice of wearing firearms. He gives offend- | ers the limit of the law, ninety days, and the trial of the guilty person is swift, the sentence sure und its enforcement prompt. Judge Miller has also started in to put a stop to reckless shooting oy policemen. It has been the custom in Washington when a prisoner attempts to escape for the po- licemen in charge to open a fusillade in the public street. There will be no more of this reckless artillery work. Judge Miller | is giving the limit of the law to every per- son who carries a razor, and there being ninety thousand darkies In the District of Columbia he manages to keep the large work farm well cultivated by razor bearers. Without being a reformer or a pretender Judge Miller is striking terror to the popu- lar offenses to public decencies, It took him about two weeks to rid Washington of the vulgar annoyances of a large army of dudes who stood around the entrances to theaters and other public places, smoking cigarettes and ogling women. The Indifference of Congress. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Five months ago more than a score of public servants, without a moment's prep- aration, were ushered into eternity through the collapse of Ford’s Theater. A dozen families were deprived of protection and of daily bread. A dozen widows, many help- less children, have since been kept from want by public charity. What would have been their fate had they depended upon Congress for relief? Simply starvation. Nothing has been done by Congress in re- »erstion of its duty to the families of men who lost their lives through the fault of the government's agents. Nothing seems likely to be done, unless an indignant peo- ple and a faithful press prod on these cal. lous lawmakers. It is a shame. It is an outrage. Cannot Congress be shamed into decency in this matter? AUGUST DONATH. LL. OPERATIONS, Good Health Resfored by HOOD's HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA, PARILLA “In March, 1890, I injured my right leg with an axe.
