The Queenstown Baptist Sunday school reached its banner day this week, having 180 pupils in attendance, forty-four being in the infant class. This is very gratifying to the instructors of the school, who are all earnest workers. Superintendent Sherwood announced the Children’s day exercises for the second Sunday in June. A very attrac- tive program for the occasion is in course of preparation. Rev. Mr. Todd of Laurel, Md., conducted the services of St. Clement's P. E. mission on Sunday last, and will continue to do so for some time to come. On the evening of June 7th a strawberry lawn fete will be heid at the residence of Mrs, John Small on the Brentwood road, under the auspices of the Ladies’ Guild of St. Clement's. A trio of the Trocadoro quartet made a most favorable impression, with their sweet rendition of sacred music, ‘at the services of the Brookland M. £. Church. The Chil- dren's day exercises of the M. E. Sunday | school will take place in the afternoon of |June 10. Mr. George M. Fillmore has leased the Maguire mansion in “New West Brookland,” and, with his family, took possession of his new home yesterday. Mr. George DePue and family removed yesterday from Frankfort street to the resi- dence on Hartford street lately vacated by Mr. Michael Bourke. Tonight the Brookland Lodge, I. O. O. F., give an entertainment in the town hali, in which a fine array of talent is expected to participate, including Mr. Skerrett of Wash- jington, Miss Brown and Miss Fox of Mt. | Pleasant and Mr. Conly and Mr. Pulizai of Georgetown. Quite an excitement was created on Sun- day morning by a runaway horse, with por- tions of harness attached to him, dashing through Brookland. The animal proved to | belong to Capt. Bellows, who resides near Gen. Beale’s stock farm, and had thrown his owner out near Glenwood cemetery, in- juring his knee severely, and completely Gemolishing the buggy to which he had been attached.

The Union Sunday school, under the man- agement of Miss Bird, held a picnic here on Saturday. It was a pleasant day with bright skies, and the children, with the teachers, had a very pleasant time on the banks of Rock creek. The engine house at the watering tank of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad was broken into Friday night and several small articles stolen, among which was a pair of Engineer Kelly’s rubber boots, Miss Irene Porter of Brooklyn, N. Y., is spending the summer with the Misses Rice of this place. She expects her sister Alice to join her in a few weeks. Misses Mamie Slufrio and Frances Bick- ford, who have been visiting friends here, have returned to their homes in Washing- ton. —_— FREDERICK, Frederick has already been slightly affect- ed by the strike in the Cumberland coal region, many of the factories here depend- ing on soft coal for their furnaces. The lccal coal dealers have scant supplies, and orders sent in over ten days ago have not been filled, the supposition being that the coal was seized in transit by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. Several of the factories are preparing to use wood or coke in the event that the soft coal supply be- comes completely exhausted before the strike ends, and others have ordered ship- ments of “pea” coal over the Pennsylvania railroad. John Munshour of near Thurmont, this county, inflicted a terrible injury upon his twelve-year-old son a few days ago in an accidental way. He was driving a stake into the ground, which the boy was steady- ing whilst he struck it many swinging blows with a sledge hammer. Just as he had the hammer raised for a final blow the boy, unaware of his father’s intention, placed his hand on top of the stake and on it received the full force of the blow. His fingers were crushed into a shapeless mass and his hand terribly lacerated and bruised. ‘The residence of Deputy Sheriff A. C. Me- Bride, on West Patrick street, narrowly escaped destruction by fire Saturday even- ing. Some members of the family went to the attic with a lighted candle and in mov- ing about ignited some clothing. The build- ing was soon in a blaze, but by the prompt efforts of the firemen the tlames were soon extinguished. The Maryland Classis of the Reformed Church in the United States will meet tomorrow in the church at Silver Run, in Carroll county, and be in session sev- eral days. Fifty ministerial and as many lay delegates are expected to be in at- tendance, and the opening sermon will be reached by the retiring president, the Kev, A. T. G. Apple of Washington, D. C., brother of Prof. J. H. Apple, president of the Woman’s Coilege of Frederick. The ses- sion of the classis will be devoted to busi- bess concerning the general welfare and in- terest of the church.

Wm. Foland and wife of Frederick went fishing together on Friday and took with them a basket laden with lunch. A few miles down the road they quarreled over the lunch basket, when Foland knocked his wife down and beat her, resulting in his ar- rest and sentence to a term in jail. John J. Fouch, who lives at Brownsville, Washington county, and works for the Bal- timore and Ohio Railroad Company, was knocked off a trestle that spans the Tusca- rora at Doub's switch, on the Metropolitan branch, and fell a distance of fifteen feet, landing in six feet of water. One foot was fractured and ankle sprained, and he nar- rowly escaped drowning. ‘Wm.

The debate over the L street cross-town railway, which is a proposed branch of the Beit line, continued in the House yesterday afternoon until 5 o'clock, when Mr. Hep- burn offered an amendment providing that all of the cars of the Belt Railway Com- pany shall, after January 1, 1806, be oper- ated by underground electric or cable Power. At this point Mr. Heard moved an adjournment, and District day closed with- out action upon the bill. The debate on the bill during the after- noon developed a great deal of opposition to the measure, and in fact only members of the District committee favored it. Mr. Hep- burn was prominent in the opposition, bas- ing his objections to the road upon two main propositions, first, that the bill does not provide for modernizing the equipment and operation of the road, and that the property owners on L street will be injured by the widening of the street, withcut be- ing afforded an opportunity for redress from the company. During the discussion as to the rights of owners of abutting property, Mr. Reed ask- ed if L street is not ownel by the United States. Mr. Heard replied that it is. Mr. Reed on Street Ownership. “Then,” said Mr. Reed, “if it is owned by the United States, from building to building, how is unybody else going to get damages for injury resulting from the United States by action of Congress, em- ploying its streets, which it has paid for, for any purpose that suits it? For the) United States to authorize somebody to 50 | upon its land, and then to provide for! damages to somebody else on some oth land, would be rather anomalous. Here is | an absolute ownership cf land on the part of the United States, and yet it is proposed | to subject it to an easement that ts to give Se denne the Fight that abuts on it to claim a; Mr. Hepbura, insisted that the United States has sold to these abutting owners with the implied agreement that the street shall be used only for the purpose of ordin- ary traffic, and when it subjecte those streets to an added servitude, it Is bound | in morals to do all it ean to protect the abutting property owners. Mr. Heard asked if it was not a perver- sion of that use for the Wnitel States to provide that individuals might ferce in a portion of that land to be used as their private parks, und that they might under- | mine the streets and put their coal cellars under them, thas using them as private property. | Mr. Hepburn held that that use was) proper and the proposed grant to the rail- road improper, ser the oe het pass prese: malty ¢o! wt Wise Moe pend at the clerk's desk a letter from Mr. F. J. Stellwagen, recently | published in The Star, objecting to the use of L street on the ground that the water | main would be damaged by the trenches for the road. A letter was also read from ex-Senator Edmunds, published in The Star, opposing | the further extension of street railways in | the northwest. No Fear of injuring Water Mains. .. Richardson said that two of the per- sons opposing this road—Mr. H. A. Willard | and Mr. Stellwagen—were in 1890 incorpo- | rators of a parallel line on M street. The | Engineer Commissioner of the District does not fear that this road will injure the water mains, and it is his buriness to look after the mains. Mr. Richardson made a plea for the poor people of the city, who need street |railways, and urged disregard of the de- |mands of the rich, who live in palaces and | crive their bob-tailed horses and fine car- riages with coats of arms on them. Mr. Crain of Texas held that some of the | property owners were not given opportu- nity to be heard against the bill. He thought the bill should be recommitted to | the committee, to give the property owners opportunity to be heard. The rights of pri- | vate individuals should be protected as far as possible. Mr. Baker of New Hampshire wanted to know what had become of the protest of the seventy-six property owners on L street |He wanted to know how much proper they represented. He said that no persons directly on the Jine of the road along L street have asked for the road. | Who Should Pay Damages. At one point in the debate the following colloquy occurred: Mr. Hepburn—*The interest of the general public can be conserved and the railroad can be built in this place, it seems to me, if this beneficiary, the corporation, that will have large dividends from its operations, pay to the owners a consideration for that which they take away from them.” Mr. Heard—“I ask the gentleman to be just enough to say that the general public, which will also be a beneficiary, should also contribute.”* Mr. Hepburn--“The general public ought not to be compelled to contribute, in my judgment, to the benefit of this loca! cor- poration.” Mr. Everett on Franchises. At a later point in the discussion Mr. Everett of Massachusetts replied to Mr. Heard’s suggestions as follows: | “Mr. Chairman, before the general debate closes I wish to comment upon & part of the remarks of the gentleman from Missouri (Mr, Heard), the chairman of the commit- tee, in which he seemed to take the grouad that the beneficiaries in such a scheme as this were the general public and that it was not right to speak of the company that obtained the franchise as receiving benefit from it. I have heard that kind of ergu- ment a good deal at home, Mr. Chairman. I have heard the street railway companies in the city of Boston claiming ‘hat because they accommodated the general public, or said that they acecmmodated it, because the general public traveled in their cars and made use of their roads, therefore the g eral public got the benefit of the franctiee; and, in fact, the street railway companies there have argued that they were the public and that the people who lived along the streets had nothing at all to do with the public. The Condition In Boston. “The consequence has been, Mr. Chair- man, in our city that street after street, road after road, franchise after franchise, right after right, has been surrendered for nothing, taken away from the general pub- lic and put in the hands of these companies that claim that because they carry the public, therefore they are the public. Then they have been consolidated into one vast corporation, and that great street railroad corporation has got the public by the throat. It is considered as having the city government by the throat, and the legisia- ture by the throat, doing exactly what it pleases at all times and in all places: and when the pubiic attempts to regulate it, when the public attempts to control it, when the public attempts to give competi- tive franchises, when the public attempts to put it under any sort of control, then that vast octopus, which has got the public by the throat and is choking it, bridles up and says: ‘We are the public, we accom- modate you, you travel upon our lines. therefore your right» are ours entirely and, in short, the public has no right the West End Railroad Company is bound to respect. No Such Thing Wanted Here. “I trust, Mr. Chairman, that that may not be seen in the city of Wasnington, and I trust it may be’ understood not only that these who live along the lines of these rail- reads have rights as to what shall be done or the streets in which they live, but that the private railway corporation that is made the beneficiary of a franchise ought to be confounded with the general public that travels in its cars. “,As to the theory of the gentleman from Tennessee, that this bill is opposed by the owners of palatial residences, who drive about in their magnificent pid nue, I do not think he will see many pala- tial residences. I think he will discover evards that are ordinarily thought neces- sary. There has been a great deal too much in all our cities of giving away the rights of the public to corporations that have arrogantly assumed to ee the public, and I want to see some check put to it by the Congress of the United States.” —_———— —_ MEX FOR THE TIMES. Sermon by Rev. Dr. Easton on Some Prevailing Evils. “It is a great thing to have a ‘pull,” said D-. Thomas C, Easton, pastor of the Eastern Presbyterian Church, while de- livering a powerful discourse Sunday even- ing, setting forth the need of “Men for the Times” to quell the demoralizing and de- teriorating agencies at work swaying the tide of public opinion, and controlling the measures of public men. Law must be re- spected and reverenced by the people, and by those who enact and administer it, or we carnot secure the beneficent ends of true government. Law and order are associated, the great pillars which the state. To weaken or tamper with the authority of law or cause it to subserve ether than impartial justice is to imperil all that ts dear to our national existence. Much of the legislation of the time has served to bring law into discredit. Even the courts are not above the reach of party intrigue. It is easy to send the son of @& laboring man to jail for stealing an old overcoat, while a defaulter of $150,000 is ap- plauded as an able financier. The power of wealth and station, cor- porate influence and vitiated public senti- ment, has grown to be an evil of such mag- nitude that law seems unable to cope with it. A few railroad monopolists can pad- lock the lips of a legislature. It is a great thing to have a pull. The natural results of this are seen today, socialism, anarch- ism, radicalism, have all taken license from | this irreverent spirit for law, and have sown broadcast seeds of revolutionary ideas, rife with danger and ruin. If these men had their way, industry and honest labor would be unrewarded, and trade would be paralyzed. Yet there are in Chi- cago today over six hundred children in Sunday schools@who are taught anarchism. Let anarchism reign and it means the de- struction of one of the highest qualities of human nature—submission to law. Reselt of Demagogi«m. ‘The rampant spirit of demagogism,said the speaker, is a conspicuous evil of our times. During the first half century of our federal j existence no country could show more wise and great public men than ours. How is it today? There never was before so much thtelligence and thrift among our mechan- ics, laborers and farmers. Yes, everywhere save in the legislation and government of the republic. Brass and greenbacks sway a tremendous influence at the ballot box. We have become a nation of office seekers, every open place, from a cross-roads post office to a collectorship, is thronged by hunery applicants for spoil. How comes it that after all our recent troubles between labor and capital there cannot be found a man to rise in Congress to uphold the rights of American mechanics? The @n- The attention of the audience was called to the necessity for compulsory education as a matter of national self. Crime lessens as education increases. The street arab must be compelled to attend the common school. The offscourings of the old world are dally emptied by ship toads upon our shores, the majority unable to re- peat the first three letters of the What shall such be when clothed with the rights of citizenship? Educate if you would advance nationa! prosperity, secure personal freedom and hasten the dawn of the millennium. The spread of licentious- ness and false theories of the family in- stitution tend to our national disintegra- tion. Its fruits are seen in the precocious types of vice among the young, knowing more iniquity at the age of thirteen than their fathers knew at twenty. The custom of newly-married couples to board rather than establish a home of their own brings the well-known fact—“no family,” no chil- dren, for they want to “enjoy life.” fashionable bride of today says, con’ to the ancient woman, “Write me childless or let me die.” Thousands in the circies of fashion plunge their offspring into a deeper Ganges than that which flows in Hindo- stan, Let the pale and dying victims of poison-vending quacks answer if these things are not so. Power of the Press, There must be repentance and sincere reformation, said the preacher, to remove these cancers at the heart of the republic, an unreserved consecration of the wealth of church and nation to God, a sanctified press. For three cents a man can have a newspaper containing the contemporaneous history of the globe. The eyeless press fe giving sight to the ignorant. It is the most potent power to build or tear down our civilization, but it has pandered to mi that is degrading. One of the hopeful signs of the times is that there is a demand for @ press rinsed of its loathsome tales and por- trayals of crime. God and the republic call for men of principle, of sober sense and modest pretensions, to rebuke the extrava- gance of our times; men who will stan@ for the right. Men who can tell the truth and look the world and the devil in the eye. Men who know their own place and fill it. Men who are willing to eat what they have earned, and wea> what they have paid for. Men who are not for sale. The speaker closed with a call to y men to decide to be Christians if they would conquer a grand success in their chosen sphere, be men among men and for all times. —_— — Condition of New York Banks.
