12- THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1898-TWELVE PAGES. SUBURBAN NEWS. ALEXANDRIA. Although Christmas day has departed, Alexandria still continues sportive and busy and a large number of Sunday school enter- tainments for children, social parties by lodges and other organizations, and many private reunions continue to take place. The business of the city during the holiday sea- son is said, notwithstanding the scarcity of money, to have been better than during the season of last Christmas. Two fires took place here yesterday, but fortunately beth of them were slight ones. The mineral water manufactory of Coun- cilman James McCuen, at the intersection of Alfred and Gibbons street, on Nailor’s Hill, caught fire about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon from fireworks, and occasioned an alarm, but the flames were easily ex- tinguished and the damage will not be great. ‘Tne other fire occurred at a frame house on Duke street, a few yards east of Fairfax street, and was confined to a slight injury to the roof. This fire was also caused by fireworks. As yet the committee having charge of the subject has not been abie to agree on the amendments to be proposed for the city eharter. As Senator Mushback and Dele- gate Bendheim are now both in this city they will be able to learn the wishes of the citizens in regard to the charter. It is expected that the car shops of the Richmond and Danville railroad in this city will increase the number of employes when they are reopened on Tuesday next. All the building associations and lodges of the various orders here are holding meet- ings to elect officers for the whole or part of next year. Another slight fire occurred last night from fireworks, and injured a stable on Lee street near the Presbyterian Chapel. > -—- HYATTSVILLE. Christmas services were held in the dif- ferent churches of this town at 11 o'clock yesterday morning. The holly and ever- gréen decorations gave them a very pretty appearance. Large congregations were present at each church. The chancel of the Pinckney Memorial Church was beutifully decorated with white flowers, there being a profusion of lilies. Rev. Edward Wall, rector, preached an interesting sermon, tak- ing for his text Matthew 1, part of the 23d verse, “And they sall call His name Em- manuel,” which, being interpreted, is, “God is with us.” The music rendered by the choir was as follows: Opening, hymn 23, Avison; Gloria Patria, Danks; Te Deum, Danks; Jubilate Deo, Dank: hymn 2, Adeste Fid Kyrie Eleison; Gloria Tibi, Garrett; hymn 22, carol, Willis; Offertozy, Prelude in G, sung by Miss Minnie Moran; Sanctus, Wesley; hymn 205, Eucharistic, Federal Street; Gloria in Excelsis, Zeunes. Excellent music was also rendered at the Presbyterian and Methodist churches, and appropriate sermons were preached by their respective pastors, Rev. C. M. Livingston and Rev. Mr. Zimmerman. ‘The Sunday school scholars of the Metho- dist Church of Branchville will hold their} {hristmas celebration on New Year even- Ing.

Bennett entertained with a dinner of sixteen covers a number of family and other friends at their home on Magnolia avenue. The following were present, viz: Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Martia, Mr. and Mrs. Leonidas Hunt, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Johns, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Mar- tin, Mr. and Mrs. Karl Decker, with “Baby Ruth,” Misses Nina Martin, Stella Bennett and Mr. Herbert Hunt. Capt. and Mrs. Thos. Lay also enter- tained a large circle, numbering twenty- five, of relatives. The recent death in this family made this reunion, composed ex- ¢lusively of members of the family of host and hostess, a sad celebration. No com- munication “has been received from Mrs. Wm. Matthews Lay since the cablegram announcing the receipt of the news of her husband's illness. Mr. Henry Cady, who has been ill for several weeks, has been improving rapidly for the past ten days, and was permitted to enjoy, with his family, the pleasures incident to the day. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. P. Bailey have with them for the holidays their sons, Messrs. Weston, William, Theodore and Charlie: Bailey of Newark and Orange, N. J. Dr. and Mrs. Geo. McManus, with their little daughter Ruth, are also guests of the par- ents of the latter. The latter family have in anticipation a departure for Wisconsin in the not far distant future. Mrs. M. Gulick, with her daughters, Miss Helen Miller and Miss Estelle Gulick, with Mr. Harper of Baltimore, are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Byron Coon. The sudden death ef Mr. Coon’s brother, Gen. Datus Coon, has made the holiday season a sad one for this family. While Santa Claus has been generous im excess of anticipation to the little ones | of Takoma, he has promised to be present at the Sunday school entertainment at the Presbyterian Church here this evening. The song service at this church on Sun- day was unusually attractive, under direc- tion of Mr. Theo. Friebus, jr., with Miss Balloch, organist, and the following choi Sopranos, Mesdames McManus, Jimmerson, Misses Thomas, Danforth, Page, Skinner, Summy; altos, Mrs. Heaton, Misses Best and Jimmerson; tenors, Messrs. Shedd, Cushman and Jimmerson; bassoes, Messrs. Wells, Heaton and Skinner. Mrs. Norman Brainerd has recovered from the serious illness from which she Was prostrated a week since. The Misses Ross and Thomas have re- moved from the house lately occupied by them on Magnolia avenue to the residence lately purchased by them from Judge Mil- Jer on Chestnut avenue. The improvement noted in the condition of Miss Mabel Harlan, who was brought home from Chicago some three weeks since ill with typhoid fever, has not continued, of which fact her father, Mr. Woodford riar- jan, at present in Oklahoma, has been in- formed. Frank Bailey, a colored man, twenty- one years of age, known to most of our residents, many of whom, out of sympathy for his crippled condition, have employed him for garden work and chores, died Sun- day from a sudden and brief attack of | Pulmonary disease, or “hasty consump- tion.” A paper going the rounds, solicit- ing subscriptions for his burial, should meet with ready response from the charit- able. Mrs. M. A. Gibson leaves tomorrow for her home, having been for several days the guest of her daughter, Mrs. 1.

Mr. and Mrs. John H. Clarke were the Fecent guests of Mr. Charles Jones of Brookland. from North Carolina. The Christmas music by St. Clements’ Church choir was finely rendered, Miss Maud Porter’s sweet vuice being heard to great advantage. Much to the delight of those who could not attend the services the same musical program will be given De- cember 31 in the town hall at 11 o'clock a.m. The Brookland post office was moved yes- | terday from the town hall to the store of | Mr. S.

The Christmas tree and accompanying entertainments to the children of Brookland Parish, comprising the members of St. An- thony’s and the Soldiers’ Home Sun- day schools, filled the Brookland town hal! with interested little folks and their friends yesterday afternoon. A short but pleasing program was carried out under the direction of Rev. P. J. O’Cal- laghan, P. S. Miss Katie Boylan of the Soldiers’ Home Sunday school recited “Guil- ty, or not Guilty” in a manner to demand an encore, and Miss ‘jeorgie Howes of the same school gave very prettily “A Child’s Wish.” The Misses Marie Howe and Mary Dowling recited for St. Anthony's school and were raptuously received, and Miss Lulu Jullien sang very sweetly.

Father O’Callaghaa is very popular with the children and members of the parish and many good wishes will follow him to his new field of usefuiness, ———. FALLS CHURCH. The sociable of the Congregational Church will take place Thursday night at the resi- dence of Mr. A. P. Eastman. air. Carl Kirsley of Cornell University arrived home on Saturday and will spend the holidays. The annual meeting of the Falls Church Mutual Fire Insurance Company will be held in the Town Hall on the second Wed- nesday in January. Mr. J. L. Hume of Texas is stopping at the Eagle House. Mr. Hugh Pope of Baltimore is visiting his mother here. ‘The Christmas tree at the Presbyterian Church on Monday night was much enjoy- ed by the members of the Sunday school and church. The exercises were in charge of Mr. E. C. Hough, superintendent, and were opened with singing, ““There Is Joy in the World Today,” by the school; prayer by Rev. D. L. Rathbun, pastor; singing, “The Music of the Bells,” by the school; recita- Miss Etta Allen, ‘Responsive Read- ig;"" solo, Mr. George Albertson; recitation, Miss May Clark; reading, Miss Lizzie Allen; address by Rev. D. L. Rathbun. Then fol- towed the distribution of the packages. At the M. E. Church the same night there was a very large crowd present, many standing throughout the exercises. The Pprogranr was varied and interesting, consisting of the following: Singing by the school, “Sweet the Song; Apostles’ Creed in concert; prayer, Rev. S. A. Ball, pastor; singing, ‘“rhe Angel's Carol,” by the school; address, Rev. A. J. Porter, presiding elder; reading, Santa Claus’ Letter, Miss Nita Pope; recitation, infant class; solo, Miss wary Warwick; recitation, Master Guy Church; singing, “Hark, What Means Those Holy Voices”; solo, Mrs. Gregor Noetzel; recitation, Little Carrie Ball; recitation, Miss Mary H. Thorne; duet, Misses Sim- mons and Porter; recitation, Miss Florence Perrigo. At this juncture Santa Claus was introduced and distributed the presents. ‘This individual was well personated by Mr. Gregor Noetzel and created much merri- ment by his quaint sayings as he gave out te numerous gifts. The meeting was closed with singing “While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night,” and ben- ediction by Rev. A. J. Porter. EE. EES IN JAIL AND GUARDED. Men Protecting an Ex-Sheriff in Indiana From Violence. A dispatch from Terre Haute, Ind., sent last night, says: There is great excitement at Sullivan to- night over the probability of an attempt to lynch ex-Sheriff Willis, who disguised him- self as a tramp and assassinated ex-Prose- cuting Attoriey Hultz on the street yes- terday as he emerged from his office. Wil- | lis is in jail, and fifty special deputies are guarding the structure, commanded by United States Marshal Hawkins. Hultz’s dying words were that it was Willis who shot him. His lawyer, in the damages suit brought against him by Willis for corrupting his wife, told him a few days ago that Willis said when $1,000 was of- fered him to settle the suit, that he would pursue Hultz to his death. Hultz was warned to arm himself, but Fifty life and never would. Willis hdd two loaded revolvers in his pockets when he surrendered. He evidently | feared mob violence. Evidence accumulates that Willis was provoked to the deed be- cause of the published statement by Hultz that he meant to remain in Sullivan. Wil- |lis had said that Hultz and he could not | live in the same town. Willis’ wife and Hultz’s wife were cousins and during Mrs. Hultz’s fatal iliness six |months ago Mrs. Willis nursed her. The jimproper intimacy began then, and was discovered on the night of September 1, | when Willis surprised them and shot and wounded Hultz, who, however, escaped by jumping from a window. A message from Sullivan at 9 p.m. said | the people were collecting on the streets jand that the feeling against Willis was | growing more bitter every hour. The talk has become so ominous that the extra | guard was placed on duty. When Willis | shot Hultz at the time he found the lawyer | | with his wife public sentiment entirely | justified the ex-sheriff. | Although it was thought Hultz would die, Villis was not arraigned for the shooting. When Hultz returned to the town, a week |ago, and announced that he intended to | stay there, it was felt that Willis would be |Justified in attacking him, but the assas- |Sination of yesterday morning was too ;eowardly for public sentiment to condone. The rore the people think about it the more enraged they are. Willis says he is innocent, but the cir- |cumstantial evidence is complete that he | disguised himself and lay in wait for Hultz with a shotgun. The victim had no op- | portunity to escape or defend himself. Last night there was some talk of vio- ‘lence at the jail, but nothing happened. | United States Marshal Hawkins, who serv- jed as deputy under Sheriff Willis, was at the jail to aid in protecting the prisoner. ————_+-e+—___ SECRETARY SMITH TO GOV.

Character and Purposes of the Great Order of Agriculturists — Charges Concerning the Finances. To the Editor of The Evening Star: | In your issue of December 1 I find what | purports to be an interview with Hon. J. | Sterling Morton, Secretary of Agriculture of the United States, upon the action of the National Grange in criticising the following extract from his speech before the agricul- tural congress at Chicago: “The most in- sidious and destructive foe to farmers is the professional farmer,the promoter of granges and alliances, who for political purposes farms the farmer. He will not succeed bet- ter by forming granges and alliances, which generally seek to attend to some other busi- ness than farming.” Mr. Morton is reported as saying: “The grange is an independent body. There can be no objection to that or any other inde- pendent body attending to the purposes for which it was created. It is subject to criti- cism whenever it devotes itself to any other purposes. And only to those grangers and granges who have been instituted fur other than agricultural advancement can any of the language used in the remarks at Chi- cago on the 16th of last October be ap- plied. The gentlemen who applied and fit- | ted these remarks to themseives have no cause for self-congratulation. What would they think if farmers who formerly belong- ed to the grange should pass a series of res- lutions inquiring what became of more than $200,000 that the National Grange al- leged some years since it held in the form of government bonds for the benefit of the | order? Of course, it is understood that the reply to such a resolution would be tnat it had been returned to tne state granges in each case, and then the question would be: What did tne state granges do with it? How much of the 3200,vvu ever reached the original donors or contributors of that sum?” ‘The above would hardly merit notice, as its falsity is well known to every patron, did it not come from one who is occupying the exalted position of Secretary of Agni- culture of the United States, an ottice cre- ated through the earnest work and influ- ence of the great brotherhood of furmers whose interests he has been chosen to rep- resent. As it is natural to infer that a man possessing intelligence sufficient to quality | him for such a position would not publish statements or insinuations derogatory to the gcts or motives oi others without evi- dence to substantiate them, it becomes nec- | essary to briefly notice his illusive attack | upon the grange, in order to enlighten hit | and disabuse the minds of those who may be led to place conhuence in his statements | on acount of cthe nigh positinn he occupies, ‘The clear inference to be drawa trom his | remarks at Cnicago, taken in connection With his rejoinder to the actioa of the Na- tional Grange, 1s that the aims ana pur- poses of the Urder of Patrons of Husvandry are not to promoie the welfare of tarmers, but to advance the political interests of its founders and “promoters,” and chat a very | large amount of funds of te order bave been used for that purpose. ‘the utter absurdiy of this allegation is) evident trom te fact that no orgauization of farmers ostensibly to benefit agriculture | and the condition of farmers geaeraliy, but! really to promote the political interests of | its members, has ever survived more than one political campaign, while :he National | Grange of the Order of Patrons of Hus-/ bandry has just held its twenty-seventh | annual session, and is better organized, | more firmly established upon its piatform | of principles and better prepared to accom- | plish its grand purposes than ever before. Its declaration of principles has been before the world for nearly twenty year challenging criticism and receiviug only | commendations. The following paragraph | from that notable document will indicate! the clear and unalterable position of the order upon partisan politic: | “We emphatically and sincerely a: t the oft-repeated truth taught in our or- | ganic Jaw, that the grange—nationil, state or subordinate—is not a political or party, organization. No grange, if true to its ob- ligations, can discuss partisan or sectarian | questions, nor call political conventions, | nor nominate candidates, nor even discuss their merits in its’ meetings.” The officers and delegates of the rational! and state granges, as well as -he m+mber- ship of the order, belong to all th ‘erent political parties in the country. Mor- Mr. ton cannot affect concealment of his ani- mosity to the order by claiming that u« had reference only to the members cf the National Grange at Syracuse who favored and voted unanimously for resolutions in question; for the unmistakable taeoning and intention of his language is far-reach- ing, and involves not only the founters of the order, but all officers and members who have been “promoters of granyes” and counseled in shaping its policy and apply- ing its funds, from its earliest inception to the present time. It will require stronger proof t the mere assertion or insinuation of uny one man, however high his official staading may be, to convince the American farmers that such men as D. Wyatt Aiken and J. M. Lipscomb of South Caroli a Chambers of Alabama, B. F. Wardlaw of. Florida, Col. T. J. Smith of Georgia, Sami. E. Adams of Minnesota, Ju 3 inn T. | Jones of Arkansas, Dudley W. Adaims of Iowa, Rev. S. H. Ellis of Ohio, Vicior FE. / of Pennsylvania, Goy. Fret. hobie| laine, Judge R. E. Roice 0” Qregon, Gov. Cyrus G. Luce of Michigen, W. A./ Armstrong of New York and sev his | predecessors in the high office he holds, | together with tens of thousands of ether | representative farmers, with thoir wives, | sons and daughters, associated with ‘hem, |have banded together for “poli-ical pur- poses to farm the farmers” ani extort money from them to be used for versonal | and politieal purposes. it is well known, however, that in the early history of the order some aspiring politicians, claiming to be “farmers,” affill- | ated with it for the very purpose indicated by Mr. Morton, but finding the organization strorely non-partisan, and no hope for the | advancement of their political aspirations, left it in disgust. Hence, they have not since been able to see any good in it, and are now imputing the same selfish motive; to those who have honestly and faithfully j | given their best energies to maintaining its | Usefulness that induced themselves to be-| | come “grangers,” but not Patrons of Hus- | bandry. It is quite probable that Nebraska may | have furnished one or more of that class, who are now charging not only_poiitical, | but financial corruption to the order. As I am in possession of all the facts, figures and financial history of the order, I feel |confident that 1 shall be able to’ gratify, | Mr. Morton's desire for enlightenment about | the asposition of that “$200,000 of govern-| | ment bonds.” The largest amount of U. S. bonds ever |owned or “alleged to be held” by the Na- tional Grange was $60,000, costing and val- lued at $ '. The largest assets of the National Grange were December 31, 1874, as| | follows: |U.

But this was not all; subordinate | granges everywhere were appealed to for | aid to relieve their suffering brothers and | sisters in plague-stricken sections. In the secretary’s report of the Michigan state grange | find the following: “Between the 23d of December, 1874, and the 17th of May, 1875, I received $1,157.73 relief fund, which was sent to the state granses of Kansas and Nebraska.” Michigan state grange received $1,41.00 as its pro rata share of the national grange donation, and for each made to the for relief or This loan} 1 | \ ; Business is almost completely stagnated. | | are powerless to avoid seizure »f their prup- its subordinate granges contributed only $274.26 iess than that sum for relief in less than five months’ collection. Although 1 have not the data showing what patrons of other states contributed for relief, yet it is fair to presume that they were quite as liberal as those of Michigan. It is well known that large amounts were collected and sent forward, and that Mr. Morton's state received a liberal share of the same. With these facts before him, which are a part of the history of the state in which he at the time and has since resided, and which he ought to have known, if he did not, he insinuatingly asks: “‘What did the state granges do with it? How much of the $200,000 ever reached the original donors oy contributers of that sum?” If the above is not clear to his understanding of how the funds were used, I will repeat, and without the fear of contradiction, that in states where needed it was used to re- lieve suffering and in other states for legit- imate work of the order. In Michigan the identical $1,431.99 received from the nation- al grange was, with other funds, invested where it yet remains as joint property of the patrons of Michigan, and the annual interest has been used for the benefit of the order which they love and help to maintain. The charge or intimation that any state grange squandered or misapplied this fund | has never before, to my knowledge, been | made. I will state, for the honorable Secre- tary’s special benefit, that it was not in- tended that this donation be “returned to the original donors or contributors,” who would ‘ve received less than ten cents each; and if any one claiming to have “for- | merly belonged to the grange” in Nebraska is solicitous about that “ten cents,” I am certain that the state grange of Nebraska will refund it to him with interest upon proper application, provided that a receipt in full payment for the same will be given to the state grange. It will be seen that the amount of National Grange funds “re- turned to the state granges” was $54,811.36, instead of “$200,000,” as Mr. Morton states it. As all the financial transactions of the National Grange are in its published pro- ceedings, consequently accessible to every one desiring information from them, it is difficult to understand how any sane man could make charges against a great frater- nal brotherhood of agriculturists, which he cught to have known and could have known were false in every particular, and to so distort figures as to make an intimation of financial corruption appear $145,188.64 more than the actual amount involved, except through “profound ignorance,” or a willful intention to misrepresent.

From hte National Butlding Register, Whenever any system of rapid transit has been instituted in any of the cities cf this | |or any other country there have always followed in the wake thereof a number of deplorable accidents. In this city, since the introduction of the cable system, there have been a number 2f sad occurrence already recorded, and from the very nature of the subject considered in connection with the indifference exercised by a great many | Individuals in connection with their own | personal safety, it is hizh'y probable that | the last of this kind of mishaps has by no means been recorded. ‘Che introduction of rapid transit upon the thoroughfares of a large city is of itself repuynant to the en- tire security of the public, and the best that can ve ‘lore unde: the circumstances Is, first, to educate the people as much os is possible to the paramevat imporinace of using ail possible caution. and, secondly, to compel the companies or corporations operatiag such rapia ransit lines to use all possibte Jitureace ast accidents. It can hardly be said in favor of those controlling these rapid transit lines in this city that they are exercising that degree of diligence that should be, inasmuch as they have not scen fit so far to provide their cars with anything in the way of a good tender that would prevent a further repeti- tion of the horrible accidents that have been of so much frequency. The immense tmportance of giving the public the bene- | fit of every practical safesuard against loss | of life or limb should impel the companies or corporations owning and operating the local rapid transit lines to do their best without further controversy. A few more accidenis like those that have occurred will rouse public indignation to a high pitch, and when suc occurs somebody usually | hears about it.

It seems wonderful that so frail a craft should battle successfully against the stcrms of the Atlantic, but Capt. explains it by saying: “No matter how high the waves were we were always on top. The lightness of the ship is its safeguard.” The furnishings of the Viking are as plain as befits the rugged sailors of that early time.
