Judge Miller today closed the second chapter in the Mount Jezreel Colored Bap- tist Church fight, and now both sides have been fined. Today four of the deacons, Henry Carter, Charles Shanklin, Jeremiah Harris and Philip Reeves, were tried for exhibiting their pugilistic qualities. The first three put Deacon Archie Harris out of church during a prayer meeting, and Deacon Reeves laid violent hands on Dea- con Hali. Those tried today represent the minister or the faction in possession, and their victims belong to the other side. Several witnesses were sworn, and they told how the church meetings had been turned into disorderly crowds. It came out in the testimony that many members of the faction opposed to the minister had been expelled from church without any charges having been preferred against them and without their given an opportunity to defend themselves. In this way the minister's majority hds increased, and Judge Miller said he thought the congregation would soon be ~inani- mous for the pastor. This recalled to the judge’s mind a simi- lar trouble in a colored Methodist church, where the moderator disciplined the mem- bers and then refused them the privilege of voting, thereby giving the minority full control of the meeting. Judge Miller thought that the expulsion of the deacons in this case was not in the regular or proper way. “The whole affair,” he said, “is a shame- ful, disgusting and disgraceful sight, and the church authorities had better go to the work house and get some of the vags to settle the difficulty. They could do it better than the church people. The whole trouble is that when there is a business meeting and a prospective fight there is a full house, but a prayer meeting sees empty benches. If I had my way in the matter, I would ap- point a guardian and give him power to settle the trouble.” In conclusion, the judge said he hoped this would be the last the court would hear of the trouble, and said that if an- other case came from the church and it is shown that violent hands were laid on an- other by any one connected with the con- gregation, the guilty cne will go to jail for eleven months. In the cases heard today the defendants were fined $10 each. ———— For the Relief of the Poor. Members of the committee are endeavor- ing to have the tickets honored at dining rooms other than that conducted at the mission, for there are many poor persons who would take advantage of the charity if they did not have to go to a place where their presence would be Indicative of the fact that they Were accepting charity. A police officer, who has made a number of investigations in the line of charity in South Washingten, tcld a Star reporter to- day that he haf found a number of cases in which the persons applying for assist- ance were not really in need and he had to report against them. Many of them, he said, had appiied simply because they thought they would get a good quantity of provisions and some food. In several cases, he said, he found persons who were really able to assist others.

MCVING FOR A PERMANENT LEAGUE Ideas Outlined in This Morning’s Addresses. 3 INFLUENCE OF THE SCHOOL. —— PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26.—The first ses- sion of the second day's national confer- ence for good city government was called to order promptly at 10 o’clock this morn- ing by Chairman Carter. Rev. Washington Gladden, D. D., of Co- lumbus, Ohio, was the first speaker. His topic was “Influence vpon officials in of- fice.” Bad influence upon officials should be met with good influence, he said. This influence would be glad- ly accepted by many of our officials. We are as bound to support good men as to vote for good men, and this needs thor- | ough organization, which he earnestly urged. A Permanent League. Mr. Richardson of Philadelphia then of- fered’ the following resolution: ‘Whereas, the elements brought together in the con- ference should not be allowed to separate without providing some permanent agency for continuing its work and promoting the comparison of views, the exchange of experiences, the discussion of methods, and that mutual confidence and sympathy which adds so much to the strength and entkusiam of fellow workers in a great cause. “It is therefore resolved that the presi- dent of the conference is requested to ap- point a representative committee of seven to prepare a plan for the organization of a national municipal league, which shall be composed of associations formed in Ameri- can cities and having as an object the im- Provement of municipal government. pon the completion of the plan and its approval by the association, as many of them as the said committee may deem nec- essary, the committee shall declare the Proposed league to be fully organized and prepared to enter upon its work.” Horace E. Deming of New York offered as an amendment to the above: ‘Resolved, that it is the sense of this conference that the committee when ap- pointed by the chairman should provice for a similar conference in New York, in order to bring influence to bear upon the approaching constitutional convention. in that state.” ‘ The resolution and ahoptea. amendment How to Arouse Public Sen “How to arouse public sentiment in favor of good city government,” was the theme of the addresses of Edwin D. Mead of Bos- ton and Rev. J. H. Ecob of Albany, N. Y. The former urged “by means of educa- tion” and the latter “by means of the churches.” “There is no province,” said Mr. Mead, “where the American people need educa- tion more today than in munieipal govern- ment. Saving only the great question of industrial reform the demand for an in- dustrial equality is as complete as the po- litical equality which we enjoy, or pretend to enjoy. The question of municipal re- form is the greatest problem which con- fronts us today in our politics.’ “Our national administration, great as the evils are in our still unreformed methods of appointment, is wonderfully pure. Our State legislatures, with a few exceptions, Albany, Harrisburg and others, where the pressure of great railroad corporations is strong, are, in the main, honest and Fonor- able bodies. But the governments of cur Sreat cities for the last thirty years have been our despair. Republican Philadelphia as bad as democratic New York; Baltimore as bad as Chicago. The character of the men at the head of our city government has startlingly deteriorated The proudest of American cities must blush when it thinks who the men are in its common council, controlling its high interests, disbursing its millions of money and representing its cor- porate life when compared with the class of citizens who sit in the town vouncils cf Birmingham and Glasgow and the great cities of France and Germany. “In almost everthing that touches munic- ipal administration we are today behind Europe. We have everything to learn and almost nothing to teach. “I rejoice to see signs everywhere that we are entering upon an era of genuine cul- ture and education, an era of revived pa- triotism and thoughtfulness. The great in- strument for education of the American people is the public school. So fundamental is the public school that it is not too much to say that our very existence and safety depend upon its integrity and wise admin- istration. The parochial school, I care not whether Protestant or Catholic, can never give anything but a parochial education.” Mr. Mead’s utterances in regard to paro- chial schools were loudly applauded. Continuing, he said: “The private school for rich men’s children promotes class dis- tinction, it harms the child, it harms the parent and it harms the state. It deprives the child df the sturdier education which the public school can give. If you would serve America and the world, today, fix your thought sharply on your own city or your own town, on that particular section of America with which you have day by day the most to do.” Rev. J. E. Ecob of Albany was the next speaker. He said: “Our Christian govern- ment is the noblest offspring of the church’s life. The first business of the church is to redeem the ballot and put it to the uses gf the kingdom. The ballot ts the fairest it of our Christian civiliza- tion. “The strategic point in the contest for the recovery of the bailot is plainly the city. The weight of social and civic influence is with the church. Just as we covet earnest- ly, righteousness, peace and joy in God, cach man for his own home, will we to- gether covet the same powers and graces of the kingdom for the larger life of our city.”” He closed by saying that the redemption of the city is the goal of our civic life. A recess was then taken until 3 o'clock. RES aS ANGRY DEMOCRATS. was Members of Boston’s Common Council Indulge in Disgracefal Proceedings. BOSTON, Jan. 26.—The common council session last evening was an exciting cul- mination to the bitter animosity against the young democratic president, pher O’Brien. The almost unprecedented attempt was made to impeach the presid- ing officer, and language wantonly extrava- gant was indulged in. The galleries were crowded, and after the council went into committee of the whole the crowd yelled and shouted in unison with the members on the floor. It was a fight among democrats, aided and abetted by the republican minority. The whole of the trouble grew out of the | dissatisfaction on the part of certain demo- crats on account of the committee appoint- ments made by the president at the last | meeting of the council. Some were aggrieved because, in their opinion, the committees to which they were assigned were not so important as | their official records entitied them to. “A rush” adjournment declared carried by | the president ended hostilities for the | present. —— ARREST OF A CLERGYMAN, Charged With Manslaughter in. Ne- glecting a Sick Servant. RACINE, Wis., Jan. 26.—A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Rev. T. B. Hepp, a Methodist minister, at Waterford, in this county, charging him with man- slaughter. On Sunday morning Effie Brownell, a servant, who had lived with the minister's family for some time, died at his home in confinement. Although she was taken ill at midnight, the reverend gentleman did not call a physician till 5 o'clock in the morning,when the girl was past conscious- ness. It is sald the unfortunate girl made statements to another girl that the minis- the cause of her downfall. . Hepp had tendered his resignation stor, and was preparing to leave town morning when arrested. He will be as p. this tion today. Christo- | DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. ‘Two Street Railroad Reports. Vice President Stevenson today received the annual report of two local railroad companies. One came from the Belt Line Company, showing the names of the holders of the thousand shares of its capitol stock. The largest mount is held by Provident Life & Trust Company of Philadelphia, 4,998 and Trust Company of Philadelphia, 4,998 shares. The total receipts during the year 1893 ampunted to $246,873.58, of which $140,- 996.44 came from passengers. The expen- ditures show a balance on hand at the end of the year of $8,085.25. Interest paid on bonds during the year aggregated $20,940. There were 3,815, 469 passengers carried during the year, of which number 3,193,829 paid fares. The other report came from the Ecking- ton and Soldiers’ Home Company, and cov- ered the same statistical grounds. The main holding of shares is accredited to the Provident Company of Philadelphia at 4,620. The total receipts were $240,345.34, of which $49,439.28 came from pasengers. The balance on hand at the end of the year was $1,731.91. The interest paid on bonds during the year amounted _to$11,367. The passengers carried aggregated 1,990,250 of which 1,131,850 paid. A Favorable Report. The Senate District committee held a short meeting this morning, but nothing of importance was accomplished beyond ordering a favorable report on the bill S. 1096, making a judgment a lien on all real and personal property of the debtor in the District of Columbia. Senator Faulkner later made this report and the bill was Placed on the calendar. A District Bill. Senator Hartis today asked that the bill for the relief of William Leach, who was injured some months ago in the elevator of the Treasury Department, which was ; referred to the committee investigating the Ford's Theater disaster, be referred to the committee on claims. This was ‘ordered. To Relinquish a Title. Senator Harris today, by request, intro- duced a bill for the relief of purchasers of certain lots in this city. The bill sets forth that, by a decree of the Circuit Court of the District of March 21, 1831, lots Nos. 4, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 28, in square 1017; lot 2, in square 1041, and lots 5 and 6, in square 1113, were ordered to be reconveyed to the United States. By some oversight this was not done, and the default and decree both were overlooked by the authorities of the corporation of Washington. The lots were sold for taxes at various times and con- veyed as the property of Groenveldt and others, who, with their heirs and assigns, have since paid taxes on the lots.’ The bill provides that the title of the United States to the property shall-be relinquished to the present owners in possession and that they shall be made the owners in law and title. ‘The bill was referred to the committee on the District. Fire Escapes Provided for. The House today passed the Senate reso- lution appropriating $3,800 to put fire es- capes upon the government printing office and the Maltby building. When the Senate resolution was laid before the House Mr. Bankhead asked unanimous consent to con- sider it immediately. He explained that there are 3,000 employes in the government printing office and the bill simply proposes to provide means of escape for them—“or, at least, some of them,” he added, by way of qualification—in case of fire. There was no objection, and the resolution was agreed to without debate. To Increase Patrol Drivers’ Salaries. Mr. Meredith of Virginia has. introduced a bill in the House increasing to $0 per morth the salaries of the patrol and am- bulance drivers of the metropolitan police. There men now receive $30 per month for twelve and fourteen hours work per day, and Mr. Meredith thinks that this sum is insuff cient and should be increased. ‘To Pay Emmart, Dunbar & Co. Mr. Post of Illinois has introduced a bill in the House providing that the sum of $14,500.22, the amount found due Emmart, Dunbar & Company by the auditor of the District of Columbia, for work done by that firm in connection with the laying of the thirty-six-inch water main under their con- tract of September 1, 1871, be appropriated out of the revenues of the District of Co- lumbia; and the Commissioners of the Dis trict are authorized and directed to pay that sum of money to the firm in satisfac- tion of: the amount so found due. The bili was referred to the District com-| mittee. W. and G. R.R. Report. ‘The annual report of the Washington and Georgetown Railway Company was submitted to the House today. It shows the receipts for the year to have been $1,- 641,080.91, of which sum $1,024,748.45 were receipts from passengers. The company paid $600,000 in dividends, $34,943 local tax, $227,405.25 to conductors and gripmen, $43 in donations and $215, in interest. The total disbursements were $1,654,983.20. SB EET GBPS RETIN EE CAPITOL TOPICS. The Oklahoma Admission Bill. The subcommittee of the committee on territories of the Senate having in charge the subject of the admission of Oklahoma and the Indian territory as a state into the Union held another meeting this morning, and Mr. R. W. McAdam cf Ard- more, I. T., was heard in favor of the prop- osition. He argued that while due defer- ence should be given to the wishes of the Indians as to whether the Indian .erritory should be included in a state with Okla- homa, the interests and rights of the white people were paramount, and obsolete treat- ies should not be permitted to stand in the way of civilization. The people he repre- sented desired the admission of both terri- tories as one state or nothing. Nominations and Confirmations Both Slow. The fact has been noted that the Presi- dent is sending very few nominations to the Senate these days, and that in con- firmations by the Senate haste is being made slowly. There has been a most mark- ed falling off in both respects since the rejection by the Senate of the nominations of Judge Hornblower for justice of the Supreme Court and of J. Scott Harrison for surveyor of the port of Kansas City. So far during the present week the Presi- dent has sent to the Senate only the one nomination of Mr. Peckham to be asso- ciate justice, and while the Senate has held two or three brief executive sessions only a very few confirmations have been an- nounced. It is also a well-known fact that there is scarcely an important committee of the Senate which has not one or more nominations hung up there because of ob- jections by Senators or others. A large number of nominations from New York state and some from Missouri, North Car- olina, Illinois, and many other states, which were made before the Christmas holidays, remain still in the committees. Appraiser Bunn of New York, Collector Sim- mons of North Carolina and the To- peka postmaster are included in the list of appointments of long standing which have not received attention. It is the gen- eral belief about the Senate that the nomi- nations will come in more rapidly after the Peckham nomination is disposed of. Pueific Railroad Controversy. Chairman Reilly of the House committee on Pacific railroads has had frequent con- ferences of late with Senator Brice, chair- man of the Senate committee on the same subject. The two have also seen Secretary Carlisle and Attorney General Olney with a view to determining on some line of leg- islation which would meet the complicated condition of affairs on the Pacific roads, Mr. Reilly says that the great debt owed by the roads is so fast maturing that some pian of legislation by the present Congress is imperative. This view is taken by all those with whom he has consulted, but as yet they have reached no agreement as to what particular line of action should be adopted. Mr. Retlly hopes, however, that both committees of Congress will soon de- termine upon a common policy which will be effective in securing the government against loss and at the same time secure the Pacific railroads against action which would be harmful to them. a —_—+-2+________ Colored High School Alumni. A number of the graduates of the Colored High School met in the assembly hall of the Y. M. C. A., No. 1607 11th street north- west, for the purpose of forming an alumni. After short talks pro and con a temporary organization was effected, with A. B. George president and Mrs.’ Julia Mason Layton secretary. A committee of five, consisting of Messrs. Cardozo, Lucas, Fraction and Misses Smythe and Brown, was appointed to perfect plans for a per- manent organization. The secretary was directed to notify all high school graduates to meet at the Y. M. C. A. building Thurs- February 8, at 8 o'clock. TRIAL OF DR. LEON. Charged With the Murder of an Infant Child. os ‘MISS BEACH PLACED ON THE STAND. She Tells of Her Connection With the Defendent. A CROWDED COURT ROOM. In the trial of Dr. Edward Leon for the murder of the infant of Miss Estelle E. Beach on the 3ist of October last, as the result of an abortion alleged to have been Performed by him on the young woman two days previously, the examination of the first witness for the government, Dr. Raymond T. Holden, was concluded after The Star’s report closed yesterday. The physician explained at great length the mode of performing an operation by the use of instruments, and upon cross-exam- ination by Mr. Cook he stated that the ef- fects of an abortion was not infrequently caused by drugs, blows and sometimes by accidents. He could not tell just how this abortion had been brought about in the first instance. Dr. Wm. C. Woodward, the District coroner, was the next witness sworn. He testified that on the 3ist of October he learned of the case from the health officer. He at once called on Miss Beach, and as the result of what she told him he secured, through Inspector Hollinberger, the arrest of Dr. Leon. Witness saw the child after it had died, and took it to the morgue, where, by direction of witness, Dr. E. M. Schaeffer held an autopsy on it, after which an inquest was held by witness. From Miss Beach witness received a prescription, which he afterward had filled. The witness was not asked to tell what the prescription called for, and he then de- tatled with great minuteness the manner of obtaining abortions, directly and indirectly. Dr. Edward M. Schaeffer, the assistant to the coroner, testified that he made an autopsy on the body of the child, and dis- covered that it had lived, but just how long he could not state. Premature birth was undoubtedly the cause of the infant's death. Mrs. Annie V. Kain, a midwife, was the last witness of the day. She attended Miss Beach and stated that both the mother and | child suffered from convulsions. /very- thing was done to prolong the life of the child, but it was too young to live, dying from premature birth. At the conclusion Mrs. Kain’s testi-! ‘rey the court adjourned until this morn- ing. Miss Beach on the Stand. Another packed court room marked the opening of the third day of the trial this morning. It had been rumored that Miss Beach would be the first witness called Fank as one of the most powerful produc- | time to be a Jules Verne, today, and the crowd was in a high state of expectancy. The rumor was soon con- firmed by the district attorney calling “Es- telle E. Beach.” In response a woman dressed in deep mourning took the stand and was sworn. her face being covered with a short black veil. Before she had uttered a word Mr. Cook requested her to raise her veil. The court directed her to raise it far enough to leave her mouth uncovered, but that did not satisfy Mr. Cook. He.deciared that he wished to have the young woman's face wholly uncovered. There was much, he said, in the glance of an eye, and he wish- ed to be able to note all such matters. “I think,” remarked Judge Cole, she has raised her veil htgh enough,” and Mr. Cook sat down. Miss Beach in a clear voice and in a very self-possessed manner then proceeded to give her testimony. She stated she was eighteen years of age, and that in Sep- tember last she first became aware of her condition. Thi despite the almost con- stant objections of the defense, Miss Leach stated that she called at the office of Dr. Leon, whom she pointed out in court, first on the lith of October last. She told him of her condition and asked him if he re- lieved women. He answered that he did, and in reply to her inquiry explained that his charge was $20. She then left him, telling him that she would call again. That she did several days later, and. she was about to explain, in answer to the “that |" district attorney's inquiry, when and how the alleged operation was performed, when the defense objected, contending that the witness was about to describe an_instru- ment not averred to have been used. Judge Cole thought that the witness coula go ahead, and Miss Beach then went on to describe the manner in which Dr. Leon per- formed the abortion on the 29th of October last, explaining that she paid him $20 for his services. He gave her a prescription, tell- ing her to have it filled at a certain drug- store. She did not have it filled, and after- ward gave it to Coroner Woodward. A pape> around a bottle was then identitied by Miss Beach as the prescription handed to her by the prisoner. To Mr. Cook Miss Beach stated that she did not know Annie Moran, but knew Kate Songster by sight. Never went with the latter to any place. She stated that she first went to see a D>. Linman, a druggist, | on 4 1-2 street, who told her to go to see Dr. | Leon. Miss Beach then detailed, with great! minuteness, how the operation was per- formed by Leon, and again stated that she/| paid him $20 immediately after it was done. Half of it was given to her by a Mr. Tinch- e:, and the rest by her father and sister. Mr. Cook having asked Miss Beach if she had appeared before the grand jury, Dis- trict Attorney Birney objected to the’ ques- tion, contending that it was immaterial whether she had or not. Mr. Cook's Argument. It was, urged Mr. Cook, a most material question, for, he argued, the indictment alleged, in the first count, that the opera- tion of abortion was performed by the use of a pin, and in the second count it was alleged that it was done through the use of an ‘instrument to the grand jurors. un- known. First, explained Mr. Codk, the grand jurors stated that they did know the nature of the instrument used,and then they stated that they did not know. Numerous authorities were then read by Mr. Cook, which he claimed sustained his contention that where it was possible for the grand jurors to ascertain all the facts as to the instrument they could not say in a count that matters were unknown to them which they should have known. Judge Cole thought that the question could be answered, and Miss Beach stated that she did not appear before the grand jury and was not summoned. Those an- swers, explained Mr. Cook, he would make use of later on, and he then asked Miss Beach if she had not been in the hands of the district attorney since she had re- covered from the operation. She answered that she had been summoned to appear be- fore him, and had made a statement to him. She had also been taken to identify Dr. Leon at the jail. “I now,” said Mr. Cook, “call upon the district attorney to produce the summons for Miss Beach.” “And the district attorney,” Mr. Birney, “declines to do “Well,” replied Mr. Cook, about that later on.” “Very well,” answered Mr. Birney. The court closed the matter by ordering @ recess then (12:15) until 1 o'clock. After the Reces: After recess Miss Beach resumed the stand and after a few unimportant an- swers to Mr. Cook, she stated that parties representing Dr. Leon had seen and talked with her about the case. One was a man who told her that he had no name, and an- other was a Col. Wm. P. Wood. At the latter's request she had called to see him at his office. “This,” said District Attorney Birney, pointing toward Col. Wm. P. Wood, sitting beside the prisoner, “is the Col. Wood you refer to, is it not?” “Yes, sir.” That concluded the examination of Miss Beach, and Inspector Hollinbe local detective force took the be recognized a prescription which he had re- ceived from Coroner Woodward, and which he had given to Detectives Weedon and Lacy to have filled. ‘Detective Lacy then testified that he took the prescription to Hickling’s drug store end paid 75 cents for the bottle of medicine it called for. Detective Weedon accompa- nied him, and after witness had the pre- scription ‘filled, Weedon made the druggist surrender It. ‘This testimony was corroborated hy De- tective Weedon, who stated that he had a copy of the prescription, and produced it. It had been traced by Coroner Woodward. remarked ‘we will see EXCURSIONS, &e. FINANCIAL... FOR EXCHANGE.... FOR RENT (Fiats). FOR RENT (Honses) FOR RENT (Miscellaneous) . FOk RENT (Offices).

THEY SHOULD HAVE RIDDEN. in the} In Baltimore, Tuesday, Policeman Pohler made two important arrests for the officers in this city. The prisoners are young men, who give their names as Edward Dwyer and John Dugan. They claim that they are cigar makers from Chicago. The officer's suspicions were aroused when he noticed that the men wore fine overcoats, when the rest of their appartl was extremely shabby. At the police station the officer discovered that each man had two overcoats, and be- tween them they had three new sack coats. The property was identified as having been stolen from a show case in front of the store of Parker, Bridget & Company, No. 315 7th street,and the prisoners were brought here yesterday by Detectives Horne and Boyd. In Judge Miller’s court this morning they denied a charge of grand larceny, “When did you come here?” asked the prisoners. “We were brought here,” was the ready response of Dugan. “But when were you here before this?” ever in our lives.” ‘Where did you get these garments?” Bought them.” Where?” “From a bum in a camp about five miles from Philadelphia. What did you give him for them? ‘Twelve dollars and my shoes.” “Was the camp on the e of the rail- road?” the judge you walking?” “What were you doing walking with sir.” twelve dollars in your poci The prisorer could not answ: tion and the court held them for of the grand jury.
