Trouble Over Collection: Jezreel Church. There is trouble in Mount Jezree: Colored Baptist Church and the affair is to be Ventilated in the Police Court. Some months ago the pastor, Rev. Robinson, died, and on account of the financial standing of the congregation the pastorate was left va- cant. Philip Stewart, a member of the church, willingly accepted an invitation to ll the vacancy temporarily and in the early part of the summer books were sent ut for the purpose of raising funds to liqui- date the church debt. It came to the knowledge of the members of the church that some collections had been made and had not been turned in. Major W. C. Cox, the colored politician, was said to have Collected $50 from ex-Commissioner Webb, which he failed to turn in. An investiga- tion was made and the result was a con- elusion that Major Cox had received a book from one of the female members of the church without authority and collected the money in June. It also developed that the @cting pastor gave Cox a letter in July authorizing him to collect funds and this Jetter was the subject discussed at a special meeting of the church Monday night. Act- ing Pastor Stewart was invited to partici- So in the meeting, but it was late when | reached the church. Arthur Harris was addressing the meet- ing when Stewart walked in and heard him talking about the letter it was charged he had given to Major Cox. “If you say I gave him the letter you are @ Mar,” is the language attributed to him. For a few minutes a fight was imminent, but the gathering remained as orderly as ible and excluded the acting pastor. it he returned later on, it is charged, and again disturbed the meeting. A letter from ex-Commissioner Webb was | read. In it he told of his $50 subscription | and said that Cox had mentioned the names <= ex-Senator Bruce, Col. Carson and Calvin for Mount ASO. Today the deacons of the church went | to the Police Court and instituted legal pro- ings against Major Cox and Philip | Stewart. the acting pastor. The warrant | fssued for Cox charges him with the em- bezzlement of the $50 alleged to have been collected from Mr. Webb, while an informa- tion was filed against Stewart charging him with disturbing the meeting. Mount Jezreel Church is located at the corner of Sth and E streets southeast and the war- rants were placed in the hands of Police- man Bell for service. —- > THE PLANS ADOPTED. The Handsome New Church Edifice to Be Erected by the E Street Baptist Charch. At a meeting of the congregation of the £ Street Baptist Church last evening the report of the builcing committee, as out- Mined in yesterday's Star, was adopted, ana| thus the plans of the fine church edifice| which it is proposed to erect on the site at the corner of 10th and N streets were ap- Proved. Mr. Charles Warner was appoint-| ed a member of the committee in place of | Mr. Albert Sheriff, deceasedi It is expect-! ed that building ogerations will be begun | some time next year. The reports of the officers of the congrega- tion were submitted, and the annual elec- tion resulted in-the choice of the following: | A. M. Clapp, president; F. S. Deland, secre- | tary, and William Fletcher, treasurer: each bog re-elected. W. F. Eaton, R. S. Parks, Fox and C. H. Lane’ were elected 683) Andrew B. UNIVERSITY BUILDING. A Gift of $100,000 to the American Uni- versity. The Annual Meeting of the Trustees Yesterday—Reports Made of Prog- ress and of Funds Collected. The annual meeting of the trustees of the American University was held yesterday at the Arlington Hotel. There were present Bishop J. F. Hurst, the chancellor; Mr. John E. Andrus of New York, president of the board of trustees; Bishop Wilson, of the Methogist Episcopal Church South; Drs. C. H. Payne of New York, Carroll of Balti- more, Smith of Virginia, Gen. Henkle, Judge McComas, Messrs. Leighton, Browne, Glover, Emery, Mrs. Gen. John A. Logan, and Mrs. E. J. Somers of Washington, Dr. A. J. Palmer, Prof. W. W. Martin, Vice Chancel- lor Samuel L. Beiler, Secretary C. W. Bald- win and Registrar Albert Osborn. The change from the previous act of in- corporation under the general laws of the District to a charter granted by the last Congress was noted as one of decided ad- vantage to the enterprise. The Incorporators. In this charter the following were named as incorporators: John H. Vincent, John E. Andrus, James M. Buckley, Mark Hoyt, Jesse L. Hurlbut, James M. King, Charles C. McCabe, Charles H. Payne, John E. Searles, jr., John S. Huyler of New York, Charles W. Buoy, J. A. M. Chapman, G. Hukill, Robert E. Pattison, Charles Scott, Mrs. Matthew Simpson of Pennsylvania, Julian S. Carr of North Carolina, David H. Carroll, Jacob Tome, Alpheus W. Wilson of Maryland, Charles H. Fowler of Minnesota, William M. Springer, J. B. Hobbs of Illinois, John P. Newman of Nebraska, Job H. Jack- son of Delaware, Redfield Proctor of Ver- mont, W. W. Smith of Virginia, D. B. Wes- son, M. Burnham of Massachusetts, Thomas ;| Bowman of Missouri, and John F. Hurst, Louis E. McComas, Benjamin Charlton, Duvall, Matthew G. Emery, Charles C. Glover, S. S. Henkle, Benjamin F. Leighton, John E. Beall, Aldis B. Browne, Mrs. John A. Logan, H. B, Moulton, Hiram Price, Mrs. Elizabeth J. Somers, Brainard H. Warner and S. W. Woodward of the District of Columbia. . This charter puts the university in a po- sition to hold all the properties and ex- ercise all the powers nec to a great university. The incorporators elected the above-named persons trustees, with three exceptions, and added Anderson Fowler of New York, Thomas H. Pearme of Ohio, H. N. Higinbotham ‘of Chicago and A. J. Palmer of New York. Bishops Fowler and Wilson made ad- dresses of exceeding force and hopefulness as to the need and future of the institu- tion, the former saying: “I regard this American University as the greatest enter- prise of our church. I know of no place where it could be as advantageously situ- ated.”" Bishop Wilson emphasized the thought that Methodists have no real university, pure and simple, and that Methodism is not measuring up to John Wesley while she has no university as great as any in existence. A Generous Gift. The reports of the officers showed that much work had been done and some prog- ress made in spite of the financial depres- sion. The chancellor, Bishop J. F. Hurst, announced the gift of $100,000 from a gentle- man who desires his name to be unknown. This is in addition to the site provided by the citizens of Washington, now worth $300,- gifts are in sight, and it hoped that before the next annual meeting building will be begun. Mrs. Gen. John A. Logan ted much interest among persons with w! she has conferred, and expressed the hope that in the near future she might make more rapid Progress toward the $1,000,000 she has un- dertaken to raise for the university. —— AMUSEMENTS. Albaugh’s.—A very general desire has been expressed to see Miss Carrie Turner, who is playing an engagement at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House this week, in some other character than Suzanne in “The Edge of Society,” which will be played for the last time tonight. On Friday and Sat- urday evenings and at the matinee on Sat- urday a new play, entitled “Chained Hearts,” will be presented. It is said to be an exceedingly strong play, recommend- ed for its purity no less than its power. The leading part is said to afford Miss Turner an opportunity for the display of her abili- ties as a commedienne, as well as presenting some strong émotional scenes. Mr. Saint Maur, Mr. Richmon, Miss Lawrence and other prominent members of this company have good parts. A Harp Recital.—Mlle. Esmeralda Cer- vartes, whose reputation as a harpist ex- tends over two continents, will give a re- cital at Metzerott Hall on Saturday even- ing next. Mile. Cervantes has traveled extensively, always meeting with great success, and she is the harpist to the Queen of Spain and the King of Portugal. She possesses thirty-seven different medals and orders, bestowed upon her on account of her musical ability. She played at the Philadelphia centennial, although but a child, and she was the Spanish delegate to the world’s auxiliary congress at Chicago. She also assisted at several of the Thomas concerts at Festival Hall and served the world’s fair as a judge of awards in the department of liberal arts. In her coming concert she has the encouragement and patronage of Mrs. Cleveland and several ladies prominent in society and hopes to have a large attendance of the best people in the city. She will be assisted by Miss Adele Vernon, soprano. —_———— Officers Elected. The Lone Star State Society last evening elected officers as follows: President, E. A. Boeger; vice president, J. T.

Chickens, Dogs, Coons and Men Fight Fiercely Last Night. ‘Washington Sports Hold a Series of Fierce and Bloody Buattles— The Several Contests. A large contingent of Washington “sports” | migrated last night to a neighboring state } to attend a series of sporting events. The law officers of Virginia had not received ‘invitations and were not present. In point | of appearance the crowd was an eminentiy | respectable one. Most of the three score {men who attended were clad in fashion- ; able clothes and carried fall flowers in the | corsage. All offers to bet were cheerfully | covered and cash seemed to be especially | abundant. The place of meeting was kept secret till a late hour and to avoid awaken- ing comment was reached by a variety of routes. The affair came to pass in the gar- re® of an old-time house. It was well light- ed with kerosene burners and the windows were tightly barred. No undue amount of noise was made. The first number on the program was a chicken fight. Cruel-looking steels were ligatured to the sawed down spurs of a black-and-white California Jap and a red-and-green shawineck. Many un- favorable commenis were made at the ex- | pense of the westerner, and general satis- faction was expressed with the personal ap- pearance of the southern representative. They were heavy birds and seemed anxious to try each other's merits. A few seconds of pecking while ‘being held in the arms of their handlers, and’ their belligerent enthu- siasm was considered to have reached the fighting pitch. They were released. The Californian made a break at the red-breast, but the latter ducked and passed under the wing of his foe without a scratch: They rose in the center of the pit and landed with the gaff of the white tangled in the red. They were parted and given a fresh start. Neither bird fought with the usual enthusi- asm, and the Jap contented with yanking the red around by the comb and pulling the feathers out of the neck by the. bill-full. The gaffs became confused, and at the end of the referee's count the fowls were once more turned loose on each other. The white was knocked down, and the red inserted his heel. This was repeated and it was evident that the California bird was willing to quit. The birds eyed each other for a second in jan unfriendly manner, when the Californian turned tail and with a henny cackle at- tempted to withdraw. He was pitted again, but he was more anxious to roost than fight, and the southern bird won, The Second Fight. ‘The second event was between a white- spangled red and a clear red. Both were wounded in the first pass, and after. the count, during which the blood had been wiped from the birds’ mouths, they were turned loose again. The spangled cock was cut, and rolled on his back, but after play- ing ‘possum for a few seconds mounted the earth and took a slash into the red. But the wings of the spangled drooped. He had received a fatal cut, but ‘refused to stop fighting, and after some vicious flashes was killed. Men Next. The third number on the program was a fight between Frank Simms and Henry Adams. Both the gentlemen named are colored residents of Washington, and are yearning aspirants for prize-ring glory. Both are heavy-weights. Mr. Simms is a tall African blonde, whose hair and whiskers were wlicked in rather a dandified way. Mr. Adams was exceedingly brunet and quite heavily built. The fight was a fake. The contestants wore shoes which enabled them to skate all over the ring, and al- though the gloves were light, there was a lack of steam in them. Very little damage was done in the four rounds that were fought. The disputants shook hands in that perfunctory manner peculiar to the fistic arena, and elevated their dukes. Simms made a lunge at Adams, but shot high and tomach punch, which energetic, would have been effective. The fighters embraced each other around the neck and continued this fond position till the referee, reinforced by the crowd, shouted “break away,” As they parted company, Adams swatted Simms in the jaw, grappled gnd lifting his n from the floor, dropped him. Cries of “no foul.” After an interchange of blows that did not cut, the men grappled and Adams forced Simms down on the ropes, almost breaking i . bby the lies recovered his +» he sought to make a fancy upper-cu and was soaked in the face. ean In the second round the fighters showed lack of condition by the labored breathing, and Mr, Simms showed a disposition to drop and in other ways to avoid being hurt. This round concluded. by Simms tak- ing a trip through the ropes. When the third round was called both men fought slow, and seemed to be getting weak in the knees. They fanned the air in a very funny fashion. Adams was able to work a punch that still further dise couraged Simms, but failed to follow up his advantage. Simms took a seat on the ropes before the conclusion of the round, and appeared as though very much wearied by the exercise. He summoned up enough vigor, though, to deliver a shot into the face of Mr. Adams. “Time,” cried the timekeeper, and the fourth round was on. The men pranced around the ring in a harmless manner and clasped themselves around the head. | They fumbled and attempted to get in | Some punches, but the connection was not | Sood. After some wrestling, Simms grew | too tired to continue and quit. Mr. Adams | Was given the decision, and the hat was ; Passed for the benefit of the contestants. Chickens Again. Following this was another cock fight between a gray neck stag and a dark red. the gray neck’s fatal thrusts. ‘The red of the chicken was soon soaked in blood. The red received a severe wound in the neck and was otherwise badly cut. Sev- eral times he was given up for dead, but would rise into action and strike: out at the gray. This was kept up so long and the disabled red displayed such unusuai fighting qualities that one man‘in the | crowd shouted, “I have money on that bird, and I'm willing to give up the fight and not let him be killed.” Another cried, “Save that cock, he’s too game to die; still another, “Let that bird live.” These | Shouts of admiration for the bleeding and jerippled fowl became so loud and long that his backers threw up the fight and the | Fed cock was withdrawn. The peopie said |it was the fastest and gamest bird they had ever seen in the pit. A Dog and Coon. A desperate fight between a raccoon and @ small bulldog, named Fannie, followed. H The dog had been permitted to sniff around the cage until she was thoroughly in ha’ | brought into the pit and the coon turned | loose. He was a good-sized fellow, and | made a break to rush through the specta- tors, but the bulldog stopped him by the | Meck. The coon turned over and the canine | Scrapper let go. She had bit down on some- | thing that was not pleasant to the palate. | The wild animal fought with hopeless des- | Peration. The dog circled round, his sharp teeth and kept a bold front. Then, at a tavorabie opportunity, he would turn quickly and seek to escape from the pit. It was at this time that the dog would —" him and shake him as she would a rat. The coon would pull himself to, ethe: a cyclone, and the dog would be curacies retire. Finally Fannie, by a quick motion, buried her fangs in the coon’s throat, and | he squealed as though for mercy. Fannie would release her hold, and her enemy | would be very far from dead. He would | make a rush at the dog, and Fannie had to | be alert to elude him. She seemed half jafraid of him, and if she had not been on- couraged by her friends would probably have given up the fight. The battle was kept up for about fifteen minutes, and a proposition was made to let the coon live, {= long as all the fight had been chewed out of it. The proposition found no popu- lar response, and it was decided that the coon must die. He would probably have worn the dog out, and indefinitely prolonged the fight, had not a man taken the coon by the tail while the dog tore and tugged at its throat. Bloody Fight. After the coon fight came a boisterous battle between two big bulldogs, named anny and Tiger. Tiger was a vivacious brindle, with a large fund of intelligence | The fight was about the most furious which The latter bird was elastic and dodged | struck the gray, and the light plumage | ‘mony with the occasion. The box was | barked | and reared, and the coon always presented | has taken place in this section. It was short and terrific. First one dog and then the other would bite a hold into the lip, nose, jaw or throat, and toss his antagonist hither and thither. At the end of a very few minutes Danny was little else than raw dog meat. His face and neck were especially bloody. The dogs made much more noise than is usual at affairs of this kind, and this added to the general exeite- ment. Men rose from their seats and en- couraged, offered bets, and the handlers of the dogs cheered them on :to increased ex- ertion. Danny was whipped badly, turned tall when the time came to scratch and lost the fight. Both dogs were tenderly wrapped in blankets and brought to Wash- ington. At one part of the fight, where the |referee and audience wanted to know whether Danny would scratch, the hold of | the brindle had to be broken by pouring water into his mouth. Other Fights. The dog fight was succeeded by a three- |round contest between two white men. This was a lively scrap, and some facial damage was inflicted. The carnival of sports was concluded with a cock fight. “Sgn oat bee Death of Mrs. Su: Devan. Mrs. Susan Chichester Duvall, who died at 2 o’clock this morning at her home, 1336 R street northwest, had resided in Washing- ton over fifty years and was well-known and much esteemed. She was the widow of the late Ammon Duvall, whose death oc- curred twelve years ago. Mrs. Duvall was born in Prince George's county, Md., and was eighty-six years old. She had been in feeble health since four years ago, when she was greatly shocked by being knocked down and robbed of her pocketbook by a tramp at the corner of 14th and R streets. Last Friday she met with an accident, which hastened her death. She was ascending the stairs in her house, and made, it is sup- posed, a misstep.
