NAYLOR'S RETIREMENT | It is Still Exciting Great Interest in Methodist Circles Result of the Meeting of the Church Stewards at Foundry Church Saturday. The excitement in Methodist circles over the retirement of Dr, H. R. Naylor as pre- siding elder of the Washington district shows no signs of subsidence, ana vigorous action is being taken by the leaders of Methodism to secure a reversal of Bishop Fowler’s action, and the reinstatement of Dr. Naylor in his old position, On Satur- day night a meeting of the recording stew- ards of the various Methodist Churches wa’ held, and an agreement was, reached by which each steward will request the board of his respective church at the regu- lar board meeting, to be héld tonight, to @ppoint representatives to a meeting that Wul take place at Hamline Church on Wed- nesday evening. At this gathering concert- ed measures will be taken to procure a re- | Yersal of Bishop Fowler’s action and bring about the reinstatement of Dr. Naylor as presiding elder. Mave Written to Bishop Hurst. Although many prominent Methodists | have written to Bishop Hurst, who is now |Presiding over the -Harrisburg conference, | |acquainting him with the unfortunate con- ditions at present existing, and inforniing him that the general impression is that he was primarily responsible for Dr. Naylor's Temoval, no replies have yet been received. However, the bishop is expected home to- night or tomorrow, aud as his duties in con- hection with the conference have been many and exacting he has probably determined to await his return to this city before having anything to say about the matter. Prominent Methodists who are actively engaged in church work her2 ere a unit m the opinion that the result of Dr. Nay- jlor’s removal will be materially injurious to Methodism im the Lisimict in cate it good cause was subserved by the course of Bishop Fowler; that no reason existed for «ft, and that remedial maasures must be quickly taken if harmony is i¢ be restored. The churches were about to take steps to | begin the good work begun here by Mr. | Moody, but the present excitement bas al- |most madé the -laity forget all about the evangelist: Every one, is awaiting Bishop {Hurst's return with anxiety, as it is gen- lerally belteved that he can straighten mat- |ters out in accordance with the wi:hes of {the churches in the District. . A NEGRO BURGLAR ARRESTED. Most of His Plunder Recovered Through the Thoughtfalness of a Woman. % On Saturday night about 10 o’clock Mrs. O. J, Taylor, ving on F street. between Gth arid 7th, heard the breaking of a pane of glass in the basement of 613—N. Horn’s tailoring establishment—and called Mr. John Critcher, who happened to pass The latter Saw a’ colored man leave with {a bundle and run. Mr. Critcher kept him in sight till he got’ into an alley on Louisiana avenue, and informed Sergeaat Perry at ,police headquarters. Detective Lacey at once went out, and, seeing a neg>o hurrying along Louisiane avenue, he | atrested him, but before doing so the | fellow attempted to brain him with a rock. [It was found that he’ had secured $10) worth ‘of clothing, but the most of it was | | found in e coal bin by Officer Coghill. He gave his name as Samuel Stewart and | his age sixteen, although he looks three {years older, and when arrested his hand was found cut by the glass. Stewart in the Police Court waived an examination, , and bonds were fixed at $1,000. —>—__ ILLS OF HORSEFLESH. Degrees Conferred on Men Skilled in ‘Equine Diseases.
