An Earnest Protest Against Prevail- ing Custems by Archdeacon Williams. Archdeacom Gilbert F. Williams Sunday morning — delivered a sermon at Christ Church, East “Washington, in which he tock strong grounds against lavish display at funerals. He began by stating that the early Christians were very particular in the form and ceremony for the burial of the dead. They used the simplest services and guarded their dead with a jealous care. Non-Christians were not permitted to at- tend the funerals nor weze they allowed to touch even the bodies of the Christian dead. There was no display at the funerals and no pomp or ceremony was tolerated. These followers of Christ avoided every- thing that hed the appearance or sem- blance of paganism. GEN. FRYE’S DEPARTURE.

Rev. Alexander Kent and Mrs. Clara B. Colby have issued an appeal to the citizens of Washington in behalf of temporary aid for the Galvinites. The address recites that the tren proposed to retrace their steps west- Archdeacon Williams said that if the rit- ual of the early Christians were in use today the world would be better and a better regard for the dead would be shown. In passing to the maiter of burial of per- sons who die out of the church he made reference to the cases of suicides. He Stated that the rubrics of the Episcopal church strictly forbade the clergy of the chureh to rectte the funeral service over people whe take their own lives except where it is known that such deaths were due to insanity. In speaking of the time to bury the dead he said that the Church of England required that the dead buried always in the morning. He thcug! that this should be the rule in this land and that the hour should not be later than 10 o'clock in the morning and never mid- day. He also stated that a custom pre- vailed at funerals of having persons acting as pallbearers who were not Christians rangements—The president, chairman; the | @nd such classes were not proper to have. In speaking of customs that at one time prevailed in the church in the burial of the dead he said that there was nothing so fitting as that of having the dead brought to the church the night before the interment ard the body guarded by members of the church. He «leprecated the prevailing custom of long funerals 2nd lavish display of floral offerings. Set pieces and designs were simply imitative of the Pagan customs and were repugnant to refined taste. He said that flowers from immediate friends were proper in their way as a fitting tribute of respect, but when the displiy was made after the skill of the florist it was nothing but an exhibition and show. He argued that the, morning funersl was typical of the joy- ousness of life, while late funerals in the day partook of the symbol of sin, which the darkness of night represented. Archdeacon Williams maintained that funerals should be as solemn as could be made and that simplicity should mark the last sad rites. The church should be the place from which the funeral should take place and that only the relatives and immediate friends should follow the re- mains to the grave. The discourse was listened to with much thoughtfulness" by the congregation and the words of the distinguished rector found many of his people to be in accord with him. ——_—_. A NEW TRIAL, An Important Damage Suit Again Tested. Judge Bradley Saturday afternoon granted the motion for a new trial in the case of Edward N. Gray vs. District of Columbia. This was a suit at law, in which Mr. Gray claimed $30,000 damages because of the alleged wrecking of his iron foundry in South Washington during the summer of 1889. It was contended by the plaintiff that the loss sustained by him resulted from defectively built and uncleaned sewers adjacent to his foundry, principally the James creek sewer. The District's defense Was that the damage was due to the extra- ordinary rainfall of the summer in question, the year of the Johnstown flood. The case to Be was twice tried, the first trial resulting in| a judgment for Mr. Gray amounting to about $8,700. That judsment was a few months ago reversed by the Court of Ap- peals. A second trial was had last month, when Mr. Gray secured a verdict for $3.500. A motion for a new trial was made by the District, and Judge Bradley, in granting it Saturday, held that the jury had disre- garded his instructions, and also the evi- dence, the court intimating thut the work of destruction wag the act of God, and was not due to the negligence of the District. ‘There are thirty eases of a similar char- acter now pendiny ; and the importance to the District ot Judge Bradley's ruling arises out of the fact that the damages claimed in these suits amount to $350,000. A third trial of the case, it ig said, wil follow at the earliest practicable day. Marriage Licenses.

He ex- pressed his gratification to see such a large attendance of members and the promptness with which the business was disposed of, and gave an interestiag talk on the social and fraternal features of the order. He was followed by Past Grand Commander Red- way, who also made some remarks on the finarcial interests of the commandery. Short speeches were made by Knights F. B. Holden, Richard Sweeney, Geo. E. W. Slater, W. N. Crouch, R. W. Burnside and ethers. The question of giving a musical and literary entertainment was also dis- cussed.

In a petition for divorce filed by William Livingston Bruen against Josepha Bentley Bruen the petitioner alleges that they were married here February 13, 1889, by the Rev. John H. Elliott. They lived together, Mr. Bruen states, until the 2d of June, 18v2, | when, while they were residing at 1736 Q | street, Mrs, Bruen deserted and abandoned him. Mrs. Bruen, so the petitioner allege ‘after having on manifold occasions de- | clared to complainant that she did not love | him and that she never had loved him, packed her trunks and effects” and left his home. The complainant states that the de- fendant is now residing at Stockbridge, Mass., and that she deserted and abandoned him “because she deemed it unconscignable | to live with him whom she did not and! never had loved, and said act of desertion | and abandonment was a matter of con- science with her." No children, the peti- tioner states, were born to them. _ Leonbard StriMer's Will, By the provisions of the will of the !ate Leonhard Striffler the real and personal | estate of the deceased is given to his wife, Barbara Scrifiler, to have and hold the same during the time she remains singl®. If she | remarries she is to get but one-third, the | remainder to be equally divided among the | testator's four children, Leona, William, Henry L., and Barbara Striffer.

Before his departure he said that there were 25 men, who comprised the first California regiment of the “indus: trial” army at Pittsburg, under the com. mand of Col. Blundali, and that this con- tingent would reach Highlands within a week. Some of the Galvinites believe that Frye has left this section of the country for good and for all, and they openly claim that in case he returns, and the other in- dustrials reach this vicinity, they will quickly join in a movement to oust Frye from further official connection with the body. The citizens of Bladensburg com- plain of the annoyance that they are sub- jected to by the almost ceaseless begging of the Galvinites, and there is again some tall of organizing a law committee to enforce the ordinances against vagrancy. Coxey and Browne have given up all idea of securing release by means of habeas corpus pro- ceedings, and Browne claims that he will serve an additional ten days in jail rather than pay the $5 fine placed upon him in the Police Court. A former member of the Coxey commonweal, by the name of Charles Dixon, was found dead on a vacant lot in Baltimore yesterday, He was known as “Gypsy Charlie’ and was a sleight of hand performer of much ability. Alcohol- ism is supposed to have been the cause of his death. DEATH OF ALONZO MILLS. Heart Disease Cla‘ a Well-Known Man as Victim. Mr, Alonzo Mills died suddenly last night at 9 o'clock at his residence, No. 1815 G street northwest. He had been appar- ently as well as usual during the day and in the afterncon was at the Owen House with some friends, and as cheerful as he always had been hitherto. He reached his home shortly o'clock last night and complained of feel- ing queer. In a few minutes he was dead, heart disease having claimed him for a victim. Mr. Mills was one of the best known and most popular of the men about town in the national capital and his figure was familiar to a large number of Washingtonians. For several years he was proprietor of the Tontine House in Alexandria, and it enjoyed its best repu- tation for its cuisine while under his man- agement. He was genial in his disposition and kind hearted to the degree of benevo- lence, and his sudden end will be deplored by a large circle of friends, whose sym- | pathy also goes out to his sorrowing fam- ily. net been completed. TOES ee Price Too Small. In the suit in equity of the Central Trust Company of New York against the Wash- ington and Arlington Railway Company Pepper & Register of Philadelphia, Pa, have filed an offer of $1,750 for the boiler, engine, wire, tools, other property, rights and franchises of the road in the District. Measrs. Pepper & Register state that they are bondholders to the amount of $J7,0uu, and are among those for whose benefit the sale by the trustees, J. R. Caton and G. Hatley Norton, was made on the first of last month for $1,000, That amount, Messrs. Pepper & Register allege, was an utterly fradequate price. They therefore except to the confirmation of the sale. john Wise, trustee for certain bond- holders, whose holdings amount to $30,000, also noted an exception to the sale. _ To Form a Library Club.

Almost Blind HIS HEAD A MASS OF CORRUPTION. BLOOD PURIFIED AND SIGHT RESTORED BY HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA, “Three years ago Clarence, three years old, was taken with scrofuia on the head, which gradually spread until it got into his eyes and he became almost blind.

Lest year Congress made the emer- gency fund larger than usual on account of | the cholera scare, and Dr. Hammett did his best to have Congress give the extra ameunt required this year, but did not succeed. When Dr. Hammett appeared be- fore the Senate committee a few days ago he urged upon the committee the necessity for a iarger corps of inspectors. At pres- ent there are eight inspectors connected with the department, and two of them are detailed as food inspectors. One of them looks after the larger markets, while the other is supposed to look after 1,600 green groceries and small market stores, while ix men are doing sanitary work. When before the committee Dr. Ham- mett asked for five additiohal inspectors, which would make a total of thirteen me | giving ten for sanitary inspections and th: to look after food, The committee, how- ever, did not take the matter favorably, be- cause of the few extra dollars they would have to appropriate, and. so sanitary affairs of the city will probably run as they have for many years. Anticipating the action of Congress, Dr. Hammett, some time ago, asked the Com- missioners for ten men.for the month of June, thinking that by their action during the month the city might get thoroughly clean before the hot weather sets in. As no response has been received from the Com- missioners concerning the request, it is like- ly that no extra force will be employed. The reports of the inspectors for last week show that 413 nuisances were report- ed to ther and 447 were abated, —» Chemical Engine Needed, The need of a chemical engine at Bright- wood was fully demonstrated yesterday af- ternoon about 3 o'clock, when fire was dis- covered in the house of WilMam Turner, a short distance this’side ‘of Brightwood. The house, which was a frame structure, was burned to the ground. An effort was made to get the assistance of the city fire de- partment, and No. 7 engine company re- sponded to a local alarm, but as there was no water near the burning building the de- partment could be of no service. Messrs. Burgdorf & Johnson owned the house. The loss, $500, is covered by insur- ance. There was a bright blaze in the house of Daniel Jackson, 1015 Gth street southwest, about 10 o'clock last night. The’ flames were confined to the rear of the house. The damage amounted to about $300, Last night there was a slight blaze in the | Stable of Mr. Barry, near Sheridan street and brightwood, but no damage was done.
