Baptistry Compléted, ‘The new baptistry in the Baptist Church at Tenleytown has been completed and Will probably be used next Sunday for the first time. The ladies of’ the church for some days past have been busily engaged in making baptismal robes. In addition | to the baptistry, new dressing rooms have been bulit and the pulpit platform carpeted and otherwise improved. Last evening there was a social at the church, which proved a splendid success. Some of those who assisted in the rendition of a musical and literary program were: Mrs. Alex.

The college department of Howard Uni- versity held its twenty-fifth commencemen last evening in the college chapel, and though the graduating class numbered but five members, President Rankin declared it to be an unusually good one. A feature of the affair was the attractive decoration of the hall. President Rankin delivered the address to the graduates in the absente of Represen- tative Sayers of Texas, who was unable to attend. Each of the graduates delivered an oration, as follows: Miss Mertie C. Alexander, ““Soctalism an Im- possibility;”” George W. Mitchell, “National Integrity,” Oscar D. Morris, “Two Opposing Charles F. Sprague, “The Philosophy of Success,” and William J. T. Thomas, “The Slavery of Today.” ———_— To Leave Town. A sad sight was presented in the Police Court this morhing when two legless colored boys appeared on a charge of vagrancy. Bob Taylor and Charles Carter were the names they gave. The boys walked with the assistance of crutches, and each had a bootbiack’s outfit. According to their stories the boys met with an accident while attempting to jump on a moving train and had their legs cut off. This, they said, hap- pened in the west, and since recovering from the effects of their mishap’ they have remained together. Last night they were beating thelr way on a train on the Baltimore and Potomac road and Special Officer Smith arrested em. “Where are you going?’ Judge Kimball asked one of the prisoners. “We want to go to New York by the Baltimore and Ohio road,” was his response. “But they were arrested on the Baltimore and Potomac road,” said an officer. Judge Kimball asked the railroad watch- man if he could not get the men out of the elty on a freight train, but he said he could not. Policeman McKie, who was also a witness in the case, sald he could get the boys out on a freight, if they would come to him at night, and the court released them on their own recognizance. —_—_ Mr. Auth Fousd. Valentine Auth, the aged man, father of the popular Center Market pork butcher, who disappeared from his home Monday, as Published in yesterday’s Star, was found on the road north of Florida avenue last night. He had been wandering about the county since he disappeared, unable to find his way home. He recognized his son when the lat- ter visited him at the eighth police station early this morning. The old man said he had been walking through the country all the time, had been without food or a place to sleep. Inspector Hollinberger had sent out a de- scription of the man to the different country places in this vicinity, and had sent a tele- gram to Cumberland, asking for a descrip- | tion of an insane man found in the woods near that place. Last night a response was received from Sheriff King, giving what is Said to be one of the best descriptions ever furnished the police department of any one. The Suicide Buried. t rest forever,” engraved in a metallic Plate, was the only inscription on the coffin of George Konig, the young German who committed suicide in the Capitol grounds nearly a week ago. A wreath of Mowers given by Undertaker Speare, was the only floral offering, and yesterday, in Graceland cemetery, the body was buried.

Policeman Passeno last night arrested Richard, alias “Sonny,” Epps, a young colored negro, who had been arrested many times before, and locked him up on charges of attempted murder and larceny. Max Lippman, an M street clothing merchant, caused the arrest. It appeats that “Sonny” went In the store Saturday night to make a purchase, but instead of paying cash for a pair of trousers he wanted to take them force. The proprietor went after him and tried to arrest him, as well as to take the trousers from him, and Epps turned on him with a knife. He stabbed the mer- chant just under the right eye. Judge Miller heard the stabbing case to- day and held the prisoner in $1,000 security for the grand jury. A jury trial was de- manded in the larceny case. cast The Art Sale at Veerhoff's branch store, 1221 Pennsylvya- ria avenue, will be continued this evening at 7:30 o'clock.

Frye Poses as a Mighty Military Leader. “Gen.” Frye reachea the camp of the commonwealers near Highland station yes- terday and added a higher opera bouffe flavor to the ridiculous aggregation now domiciled there. He left his immediate fol- lowers somewhere between Cincinnati and Highlands. The “general” paid a visit to the leaders now languishing in jail and re- turned to Maryland to give the “industrials” a chance to compare their own ragged and dilapidated clothing with his neat attire. He was very elevated in his manners, and assumed more military airs than the drum riajor of a prize brass band. Military shoulder straps and a gold braid around his hat gave him a Wellington-like appearance, and when he vouchsafed a remark he emit- ted it with an oracular solemnity that was simply overpowering. He indulged in the opinion that thousands of commonwealers would be in the vincinity of Washington within the next thirty days, and when asked what he based his observation upon relapsed into what is known in Coxeyite circles as “Redstone mystery,” and puffed with importance like # pouter pigeon. In the evening “Gen.” Frye made the same speech to the commonweal that it has listened to before a hundred times from Coxey, Browne and all the other alleged industrial orators, and used up a consider- able amount of stock heroics to impress upon the men the necessity of holding to- gether in spite of all discomforts. In spite of roseate promises and lots of simijar diaphanous things, however, there increasing signs of mutiny in the camp, id the exhaustion of all -provender in commissary department has caused the late arrivals to “assume a demeanor which has increased the alarm felt by the decent dents of the neighborhood at the presen of such undesirable visitors among them. There is no longer any attempt to keep up discipline in the ranks, and many of the men scour the adjacent villages and country on begging expeditions, and don't appear to care much whether they ask or make down- right demands for assistance. There was an approach to serious trouble between some of Galvin's men, who are now known as the Black Eye Krigade on account of the optical decoration of their leader, and the original Coxey crowd last night over the right to occupy the colored church in Bla- Aensburg for sleeping quarters, both sides claiming the privilege, but Galvin and Mar- shal Broderick managed to secure a peace- able settlement of the difficulty. There are now about 550 men in the camp at High- lends, and all are hungry and growing more 80. ‘The Fitzgerald company of socialists from Poston started homeward this: morning after having traveled here to accomplish the great purpose of getting Senator Hoar and Representative O'Neil to present peti- tions in both branches of Congress. —_~—_—_ EMERSON INSTITUTE Boys.

Bangs. There was a fair- ly ‘arge audience present, but all the tickets sold in aid of the worthy affair were not presented.

The Contract for the Construction Awarded to Norcross Bros. The board of trustees of the Corcoran Art Gallery yesterday opened the bids for the construction of the new building at the corner of New York avenue and 17th street. There were some eight or ten bids from contractors in this city and elsewhere, but it was found that the bid from Norcross Brothers was much the lowest, and the contract was awarded to that firm. The contractors brought the highest references from Worcester, Mass.; New York city and other places, where they have offices, and where they have built important structures. It was the desire of the trustees that some local contructor should get the contract, but it was impossible not to accept such a favorable bid from a firm of contractors who are looked upon as among the best In this country in their specialty. However, it is expected that Washington workmen will be employed. The amount of the contract in rourid numbers is $348,000, and the contractors agreed to turn over a completed building, with the exception of the plumbing. T! entire expenditure, including the cost the ground, will reach the large sum of a half milion of dollars. The contractors will begin work at once, and push it for- ward to completion. —__———. In Memory of Rev. Dr. Gray. In some way not altogether clear to those concerred a statement appeared in the press that services would be held last night! at E Street Baptist Church in memoriam of Rev. Dr. Gray, who died on May 25 in California, This published statement was erroneous, in so far as it indicated that a formal memorial meeting would be held. If this had been contemplated the other Baptist churches of the District would have been invited to participate. The meeting which was held last night was merely the usual covenant meeting, which precedes the regular communion meeting. This {s al- ways in the nature of an experience meet- ing, and it was the iniention of several of those members of the church who had been the friends of the late Dr. Gray to talk on reminiscences of his pastorate here. Rev. Dr. Gray occupied the pulpit of this church for fee agate and closed his pas- torate twenty-five years ago. During his residence here he was one of the chap- lains of the United States Senate and was one of the clergymen who officiated at the funeral of Abraham Lincoln. Leaving Washington, he accepted a call in Massa- chusetts and latér returned to Washing- ton to fill the ministry of the North Bap- tist Church, which has since disbanded. Rev. Dr. Muir, the present pastor of E Street Church, spoke feelingly of the dead divine, having met him on the occa- sion of his several visits to Washington. Others who told of the excellent qualities of Dr. Gray.were Mr. Z. Richards, Mr. Wm. Fletcher, Mr. Silas Boise, Mr. C. N. Rich- ards and others. —_——— For False Pretenses. Lawrence Mills, a clerk twenty-five years old, who resides in this city, was plactd under arrest yesterday afternoon and lock- ed up on charges of false pretenses. It is alleged that he obtained money from Will- jam A. Mills, D, C. Fahey, Wm. C. Lewis and Wm. B. Hibbs by having them cash for him worthless drafts on persons in New York. It is charged that he got $60 in all. ard when arrested he said his New York friends, on whom he had drawn the drafts, would honor them. This they failed to do, and his arrest followed. The cases will be heard in the Police Court next week. ——— Excursions to Indian Head. Today, June 1, the steamer Macalester commences her regular Friday and Satuf- day evening trips to Marsha)!
