A Hall Assured for C Talk Over the Stability of the Aqueduct Piers. The trustees of the Dumbarton Avenue Church, who since they were notified by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Elliot, of his intention to resign the charge on March 1 next, to accept the pastorate of the Spring Garden Church of Philadelphia, have been quietly looking out for a competent successor, have fixed upon the Rev. J. B. Stitt of the Fay- ette Street Church, Baltimore, and recom- mended to Bishop Fowler his appointment. ‘The Rey. Mr. Stitt has never held a charge in the District of Columbia, but has been the greater part of his twenty-seven years of ministerial life in the monumental city. He is spoken of by those who heard him speak in the last conference as a man of magnificent address, eloquent and pleasing. His education is of the finest. The Rev. Mr. Stitt is about fifty years of age and married. Those of the church who have been acquainted with the action of the trustees are earnestly hoping that their rec- ommendation will be favorably acted upon. Final Payment Made. Yesterday the colored Odd Fellows made the final payment on the $3,500 lot on the West sidé of 28th street near P, recently purchased as a site for their proposed $10,- 000 hall. The site has a frontage of 40 feet and a depth of 97 and is improved by a two- story frame. This will be torn down and the new structure, a four-story one, begun as soon as the building fund assumes a sub-| stantiality. Mr. James L. Turner, who has been foremost in the movement, assisted by the treasurer, Mr. Wm. Lazenburg and Mr. Joseph E. Smothers, the secretary, are now at work in raising the money and are meet- ing with surprising success. The building | when constructed will be occupied by all the leading colored secret i West toon societies of the For twenty-three years the Odd Fellows have been attempting to secure a home of their own, but owing to the indifference or inability of the committees appointed to push tbe matter, no definite strides toward the accomplishment of the work were ever taken. Now, however, the right men have ime Y i re the fact that $3,500 have been n a few vider their ability to erect the hail . mez Aged Women, The Aged Women’s Home, on High street, Georgetown, by the will of the late Francis Baker, increases its treasury fund to the extent of $100. This charitable institution is sustained entirely by voluntary contri- butions. It being strictly a local home and undenominational, the requests by the board of lady managers for assistance are generally met with favorable consideration. The home has about a dozen inmates, all of them too old to properly si - selves. What lttie'extra, Toney they make through sewing, &c., they are allowed to keep. One of the inmates, probably the old- est one there, in order to insure herself a good burial, has for months turned over to an undertaker all the money she has made. Up to this time she has paid about pier Tapers: 8 @ sufficient amount to bury her well, Aqueduct Piers. The Aqueduct or Free bridge and its al- leged unsubstantiality for railroad pur- poses is the chief topic of conversation now among those Georgetowners who are con- tinually looking out for the town’s wel- fare. It would be as easy to convince some of the leading members of the Citi- zens’ Association that the Aqueduct piers jare not perfect, and gigantically so, as it would be to make a true Chicagoan think his was not the only important city on earth, The West Enders have boasted so much of the strength of this structure that they feel now as if their honor had been assailed. Every time some imperfection in the piers has been reported they have care- fully watched the work of the divers and taken a Vast amount of interest in it. The report of Engineer Davis to the effect that he bridge and piers need $51,000 worth of | repairs is laughed at in Georgetown, Au Electric Road. Messrs. W. N. Lynch, W. M. Ellesson, John Hammond, M. E. Church and J.

Neither have I signed any petition to the legislature for the pur- pose, and I am sure that Monsignor Satolli has not. Moreove:, the paper in question is not something new. It appeared about a year ago, without my sanction, and it has again appeared without my knowledge and consent. “Faithfully yours, in Christ, “J. CARDINAL GIBBONS.” coo Liberal and Timely. In accordance with Mr. Lisner’s announce- ment that 5 per cent of yesterday's sales at the Palais Royal should be contributed to the fund in aid of the suffering poor of the city, that gentleman sent, this morning, to the District Commissioners his check for the handsome sum of $425. This tmely action serves the double purpose of indicat- ing the amount of business done at the es- tablishment and the liberal spirit of the propriezor. Two Assaults. Cassie Thomas and James Fields, colored, had a dispute the other day, and when they separated the woman threatened that she would get even with him. She waited for him with a club later in the evening, and now he is endeavoring to reduce a painful swelling of his head. Cassie is nm four months in jail. ee In another assault a man was the defend- ant. Thomas Jones was the name he gave and Emma Dutch was the woman. “I am going to give you a good beating,” he told her, and he kept his word. Now he will have to remain in jail sixty days unless his $20 fine is paid. Gs Conflicting Testimony. “Rev.” Henry Williams, a colored man, who advertises himself as a tonsorial artist, and who has appeared in the Police Court on many occasions, was before Judge Miller yesterday on a charge of assaulting his landlord, Moy Yun, a Chinese laundryman. Non-payment of rent was what caused the East Capitol street laundryman to go on the path, and then he claimed that the “Re Williams struck him. The latter, in turn, charged that the “washee man” from the flowery kingdom had used violence. Two witnesses appeared in the case. One was a colored man, who corroborated the Chinaman, and the other was a woman,who contradicted both the Chinaman and his wit- n ess. The “Rey.” Williams was acquitted. taxpayers of the town of Falls! WANT IT VERY BADLY. The Ivy City Track After a Liquor License. The Ivy City race track people want « liquor license in the worst kind of way. Winter racing without a “drop of the cra- thur” now and then is cold Sport. As stated in The Star of yesterday, an application for a Mquor license was Nlea, but not acted upon. Notwithstanding this, the applicant opened his bar at the track yesterday and sold liquors freely. As yet the police have taken no action, but it is understood from good authority that @ Warrant will be issued this afternoon for @ violation of the liquor law. This morning Representative Cadmus of New Jersey, accompanied by President Engeman of the Racing Association, had @ conference with Commissioner Ross upon the subject of granting a liquor license. Commissioner Ross informed the gentie- men that, owing to the absence of Com- missioner Parker, it was impossible for the excise board to act, as the law required all three members of the board to be pres- ent. Mr. Cadmus desired to know if there Was not some way by which permission could be given to sell liquor at the track pending action upon the application. Com- missioner Ross, however, stated that the law was mandatory, and admitted of no discretion. He read the law on the sub- ject, and the race people were satisfied that the Commissioner could do nothing in the matter. President Engeman, in conversation with @ reporter of The Star, stated, in reply to @ question, that he would not permit liquor to be sold on the grounds until a liquor | Heense was granted. In other words, he said that no liquor would be sold on the grounds today. Meanwhile, the application is going the rounds. It is now in the hands of the police | for a verification of the signatures and recommendation. After this is done, the 2pplication will be received and numbered. it will then take its turn bevore the excise board. Uniess Congress passes the bill making two members of the excise board @ sufficient number to act upon an appil- cation, the application in question will not be reached until the Sth day of January, — Commissioner Parker is expected ome. It is stated authoritatively that a major- ity at least of the excise board is oppose to granting the applicant a liquor license. Death of Jos. Smith.
