Quite a little exciterrent was caused last evening at the close of the services at the Metrorolitan M. E. Church by a young man falling in a fainting spell. He was re- moved to the Emergency Hospital, where the case was diagnosed as inanition and maleria. The man gave his name as Her- man Stumpf. He stated that he had been working in Mexico, and was on the way to his home in Canada. He also said that he had walked from Charleston, S.C., and had eaten nothing for a day and a half.

THE EVENING ‘STAR, ‘MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1894—-TEN PAGES, DISTRICT — RIFLEMEN They Return From the Shooting Matches at Sea Girt. CREDITABLE SHOWING APTHE MEBPING One Team and Twenty-two Indi- vidual Prizes Brought Back. SATURDAY’S CONTESTS “D. C. rifle team! D. C. rifle team! D.C. N. GD. G. Snap! Bang! Bull’s-eye!” With that marching-cheer ringing out in- to the e901 eariv morning atmosphere of Sea Girt, the District National Guardsmen, who have represented the marksmanship of the local brigade at the 1894 meeting of the New Jersey State Rifle Association, yester- day boarded the special train provided fcr them by the Pennsylvania railroad, and moved rapidly toward Washington and ‘warm weather. At the little railroad sta- tion were several New Jersey officers and enlisted men, as well as enthusiastic mem- bers of the Georgia team—present for the Purpose of saying good-bye to those with whom they had been associated for two. weeks. There was a walt of an hour at Monmouth Junctiom; where the fast train for Washington was flagged in order th: t the riflemen should have time enough to climb on board their special car, and then the trip was rushed right along rate of speed. Washington. was. reach: shortly after 3:15, id ten minutes Jater there was no evidence at the Pennsylvania Station that the Sea Girt detachment was in existence. * The Closing Matches. The week closed on Saturday night in a most satisfactory manner, although two or three prizes that, under ordinary circum- stances, would have been captured, man- aged somehow or other to escape. The Wimbledon cup, for instance, managed to get away, in spite of thé fact that sevéral of the Washingtonians did their best to get their fingers on if. Last year it was won by Private 8. I. Scott, company A, engineer corps, but this year a combination of mis- haps rendered a second victory impossible. The weather throughout the iast day was decidedly adverse to big scores, especially at so long a range as 1,000 yards. Shortly after the match started the rain poured down so heavily as to compel an intermis- sion of nearly thre ‘hours, and during the afternoon there was steady renewal of the downpour, with the added inconvenience of variable winds, and lights that ranged from an occasional streak of what was al- most sunshine to more lengthy periods, when there practically wasn’t any light at all, Out of that meteorological grab-bag Private Peter Finnegan pulled 116 points and the cup. Private Scott was second with 106 points, while Maj. Harries was third with 07. Last year Dr. Scott's score was 128, while Maj. Harries then piled up 125. But Washington was not playing sec- ond violin at ali the ranges on Saturday. Down at 500 and GUO yards—whenever the Weather would permit—a battle-royal was being waged in the department of: rifle practice match, a battle in which Capt. Jar es E. Bell of the second D. C. infantry came out victorious. Capt. Bell started in to beat some remarkably fine scores that had been put up during the early and most favorable portion of the shooting day, and that he succeeded beyond all question is now @ part of the records of the New Jersey State Rifle Association. ” Prizes Brought Home. A complete record of the week’s work has Pot yet been made public, for other matches than those above mentioned wer> not closed until Saturday night. The only event won by any of the teams was the New Jer- sey Interstate match, which, as has pre- viously been toid in The Star, was captured by the engineer corps, with the second regi- ment team dangerously near, and decidedly ahead of any of th2 other comp:titurs, Aside from ‘the many pool miatcnes, in which Washington sharpshooters were win- ners, there were altogether twenty-two in- dividval prizes brought home yesterday. The most important of these was the one that represents the. military championship o? the United States, taken by Sergt. C. W. Dickey of the engineer’ corvs. “Of the ten men who won place in the last stage of the championship contest, and who captured prizes for achi2ving place, seven were Dis- trict men—Lieut. Young, Private 3 E. Bell, Privat2 J. M. ‘0 Cecil Clay, Private 8. B. Wetherald. In the Kuser match—twenty- one shots at 4 yards—Corp R. P. Carle- ton, company A, engineer corps, won the first prize, with a score of 102 Gut of a pos- sible 105. In the Hayes n.cdal match Pri- vate G. E. Cook, company A, engineer eg won the Leau:iful gold medal which was given as first prize by Vice Président William Haves of the New Jersey S. R. A., with a score of 6% out of a possible 70- seven shots at 50 yards and seven shots at 000 yards. Frivate J. M. Pollard and Maj. Gee. H. Harries were also prize winners in the same match, the former having 64 points aud the latter $3. In the Trenton cup natch—the frat prize being presented | by Col. A. R. Kuser—Lieut. G. B. Young, I. R. P. engineer corps, took second pri: with a total of S4 In the All-comer: military match -seven shots each at 200 and wo yards—first money was captured by Private S. B. Wetherald, company A, en- gineer corps, with a total of 64. Other local winners in that same match were Private J. M. Pollard, company A, engine2¢ corps, 9; Col. Cecil Clay, second District of Co- lumbia Infantry, 59; Lieut. G. B. Young, le . P. engineer corps, 58. In the Schuetzen match three Washingtonians put up winning scores against the fine ;ifles common in such competitions. The win- ners were Private S. B. Wetherald, Brizide Commissary Sergt. J. M. Stewart and Maj. Geo. H. Harries. In the Depariment of Rifle Practice match—twenty-flve shots each at 500 and 600 yards—Capt. James E. Bell won the medal, with the score of 226. He made 115 at 500 yards and 111 at 600 yards. Lieut. G. B. Young was fourth in that competition, with a total of 213, his 500 yards score being 116, and the scove at @0 yards being 97. The showing made throughout the entire meeting was highly creditable to the Dis- trict of Columbia. Deserving of Especial Commendation. Among those members of the District detachment at Sea Gi:t who are deserving of especial commendation none could be more prominent than Private S. I. Scott of the engineer corps and Lieut. Charles H. Laird, quartermaster sixth battulion. They were the brigade team “coaches” and un- doubtedly sacrificed their. own scores in order that the general average of efficiency be raised to the highest possible standard. Devotion to the best interests of the team, however, was not confined to any one or two members of the detachment. The en- @eavor to achieve the best results was unanimous. The comfort of the team and the discipline of the camp were in the hands of Capt. H. H. Parmenter, quar- termaster second regiment, and Lieut. W. P. Vail, I. R. P. sixth battalion, the first named being team quartermaster and the second being adjutant and ordnance officer. Every menfber of the detachment will cheerfully testify to the fitness of both officers for the positions they were called upon to fill, Hospitable Host: It would be difficult to name all the New Jersey officers and enlisted men who did their utmost to make the stay of the de- tachment at Sea Girt as comfortable as possible. Brigadier General B. W. Spencer, the state inspector general of rifle practice and the heart and soul of the meeting, Was ever anxious to contribute toward the well being of the guests and in no in- stance did he fail to do the proper thing- and a little more-at the right time. Quar- termaster General Donnelly and his assist- ants, Cols. Loutrel, Felton, Early and Olcott, could not possibly have done more than they did; at all hours of the day and night at least one of them was available and ready to do anything and everything that could reasonably be required. Col. Owens and Col. Decker of Gen. Spencer's staff, Capt. Walker, the post cdjutant, and @ host of others too numerous to mention were just as anxious to be accommodating as though the Washingtonians had been aged relatives with large bank accounts and favorably drawn wills. The meeting throughout was a shining success; that it was so is due largely to the unassuming but hearty bosmitality of the Jersey offi- oom EX-UNION SOLDIERS; Adopt Beeolutions in Regard to Recent Dis- charges From Government Offices. ‘These Will Be Presented to the G. A. R. Encampment at Pittsburg—Sev- eral Bitter Speeches Made. There was a email but lively meeting of veterans of the late war at Grand Army Hall on Saturday evening, called for ihe purpose of taking action upon the mat- ter of the recent discharges of ex-saldiers ject might be laid before the annual campment of the G. A. R. at Pittsburg. There were originally about fifty mem- bers of the organization present, but a dispute arose as to which of several sets of res >lutions should be adopted, and the attendance greatly diminished, so that when the matter came to a yote there were but fourteen ballots cast. These were in favor, 11 to 3, of the resolutions framed by Thomas H. McKee, secretary of the na- tional republican committee, which read thu . “Resolved, by the Grand Army of the Re- public, in national encampment assembled, That the 2x-Union soldiers of the United States accept the challenge offered by the’ present administration «f the national gov- ernment in disregarding the rights of ex- Union soldiers under the national statute, by almost wholesale discharges of those employed in the public gervice of the United States; “That the ballot is our refuge by force of an-unfriendly administration. “That Col. F. C. Ainsworth, chief of the record and persion division of the War Department, has shown himself to be- the common enemy of the ex-Union soldiers both by official and private power. “That all ex-soldiers are asked to-commit their representatives in Congress .to the re- moval of said Ainsworth from the position he now holds in the cause of justice and humanity.” Mr. Potter's Resolutions. The main dispute was caused by the mover and friends of resolutions prepared by a committee appointed at a previous meeting, when Mr. Wm. M. Potter, a dis- charged clerk of the record and pension division, introduced the subject and was made chairman of the committee to draft the form of expression. The result of the labors of this committee was a very long expose of the -onduct of the office, headed by Col. Ainsworth, a recital of many in- teresting facts, and a rehearsal of some serious charges, about 100,000 claims for pensions having been rejected by means of false reports made from the division. These reports, the resolutions allege, have been made by clerks under compulsion, through fear of dismissal. The resolutions ask that the Grand Army demand from Congress an investigation of the charges made against the division and Col. Ainsworth, and specify thut he should be removed from office if found guilty of the allegations. Ex-Confederates in Offige. A sensation was caused when Mr. H. E. Burton, the chairman of the meeting, read the following extract from a recent election speech made by Senator Berry to his con- stituents in Arkansas: “The attempt to make it appear that I have ignored ex-con- federate soldiers in recommendations for office is grossly unjust. Three-fourths of those holding federal offices from Arkansas ind they were not recommended by me alone, but by Senator Jones also, and many of them by the entire delegation) are con- federate soldiers, and many of the remain- ing fourth are sons of ex-confederate sol- diers. This attempt to injure me in the es, teem of those whose confidence I prize more highly than I do any office is utterly inexcusable.”” Mr. Potter fotlowed this reading by the statement that in his resolutions he had estimated that 50 per cent of the discharges and reductions in the government offices were of ex-Union soldiers, removed to give Places for confederates. In view of the speech of Senator Berry he would have to revise his figures. A collection was taken up for the purpose of sending a representative of the meet- ing to the encampment as a bearer of the Tesolutions, and Chairman Burton was elected a delegate to the encampment for that purpcse. Several bitter speeches were made, all denunciatory of Col. Ainsworth and his policy in the War Department. An effort was made to keep party feeling out of the controversy, but it was not alto- gether successful. —_—>_—_ IN THE CHURCHES. Some of the Themes Discussed by City Pastors Yesterday. Mr. James A. Dorritee, the head of the Savannah Y. M. C. A., spoke yesterday afternoon at the local assoclation rooms on the subject, “The Reasons Men Do Not Believe the Gospel.” He sald that a rejec- tion of the gospel is equivalent to a rejec- tion of Christ, and men reject Christ today as they did when He was on earth, be- cause He was too plain-spoken. Then, Christ had never been fashionable. Again, the natural bent of man’s mind is to the evil and the inborn sin blinds the eyes of man to the beauty there is in God. The ad- dress closed with an earnest appeal to ac- cept what there is in the Scriptures as an evidence of the untold wealth behind them. Miss Ella Lawrenson sang “I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say” and “What Will You Do With Jesus?” Next Sunday Rev. J. H. McCarthy of New York will address the young men, and on the following Sunday Rev. W. W. Van Arsdale will be the speaker. “I am sure that the King of Egypt will not let you go,” were the words from Ex- odus that were chosen by Rev. 8S. B. Wal- lace of Israel Metropolitan C. M. E. Church yesterday as a text for a sermon on the ‘New Slavery in the South.” This system, he said, is caused by the course given to the law in that section in dealing with men of color who are charged with offenses. It has made criminals of a class of people more on account of their color than be- cause of their deeds, The main trouble is that the colored man in the south does no more than was taught him by his master during the period of actual slavery, and he is now reaping the terrible harvest. The government, said the speaker, in conclu- sion, should have emancipated the slave on a basis which would enable him to defend himself and become a free man in the true sense of the term. Rey. Oliver A, Brown spoke yesterday at Foundry Church on “The Passing Show,” taking as his text the recent production at a local theater of a performance of the same name to filustrate the mutability and uncertainty of life, the inevitable dissolu- tion of all things’ physical, and the fact that there is rest and safety only in the foundation rock of Christianity. The min- ister alluded to the recent Coxey demon- stration as an example of the changing, shifting, uncertain nature of worldly things. Dr. Byron Sunderland yesterday contro- verted the assertion of M. Zola, the great French novelist, that science is to be the savior of the world. Science, said the pas- tor of the First Presbyterian Church, is an enemy to religion, and has for centuries sought to overthrow the Scriptures. Zola has said that religious revivals indicate a moral disease. This, said Dr. Sunderland, is the most terrible ‘of travesties upon _re- Ngton. It 1s an outcrop of the old Epi- curean philosophy preached on Mar's Hill. Rey. Charles H. Small yesterday preached his farewell sermon as pastor of the Mount Pleasant Congregational Church, closing @ pastorate of eight years, in order to go to Hudson, Ohio. He spoke’ of the relations between St. Paul and the Church at Phil- ippl, which St. Paul had founded. There was a strong parallel between that church and the one the speaker was leaving, built | as it had been by means of great sacrifices by a little band of true worshipers. He urged his hearers, in the language of St. Paul, to prove themselves worthy disciples. The congregation, he added, had grown in his eight years of pastoral charge from nineteen to 128, and the future for the so- ciety is very bright. “If you want good preaching,” he admonished them, “be good hearers. If you want faithful pastoral work give cordial co-operation.” —_——__— Letters of Administration Granted. Judge Cox has granted the petition of Ellen Sillers, widow of the late Robert Sillers, for letters of administration on the estate of her husband, the bond being fixed at $10,000, The estate is stated to consist of twelve houses, which bring a monthly income of $125. an@ abont $5,000 in stocks ond hada ‘ | nal owner thereof. A TRUSTEE ASKED FOR To Sell and Setti¢ Up an Estate De- vised Some Years’ Ago. An exemplified copy of the will of the late John Shellman: of Frederick, Md., dated August Ll, 18iM, Was filed here Sat- urday in the register? of. wills’ office. As a sequel to that, Henry B. Smith today filed a bill in equity against’Wm. L, Bramhall, Laura Amelia Woltg, ‘Florence Virginia Schroeder, Susan Baér, Henrietta Elizabeth and Ann Eliza Fessler, Buchanan Schley, Harry J. and Wmi F. Shellman, Wm. Hauer, Susan E., Luther M. and Wm, Shellman Alleman, Frederick and Charles Phieeger and the unknown heirs of Mary (or Anna Maria) Schiey, John, Catharine and Michael Shellman, Elizabeth Baer and Susanna Emmit. The complainant states that John Shell- man died in 1816, being then the owner in fee simple of lot 6, square 103, this city. By the provisicn of his will his estate was to be spli at public auction and the pro- ceeds, after the payment of certain lega- cles, were to be equally divided by the ex- ecutors between the seven children of the dec2nzed, Jacob, Mary, John, Catharine and Michael Shellman, “Elizabeth Baer and Suscnna Emmit, and their heirs and as- signs. This piece of real estate was, how- ever, overlooked by the exccutors, and they passed away without making any sale or other disposition of the land. The property in question is said to be worth $10,000, and on the 14th of last April the complainant became the purchaser through a sale by the marshal of the inter- est in sald property acquired by Anna M. Getzendanner, from the heirs of Catharine Hauer, granddaughter of John Sheilman. ‘That interest is an undivided two-thirds part of an undivided 4-21 part of said lot, less 1-5 of 1-3 of 4-zt thereof.

Closing Session of the Supreme Lodge. Knights. ‘The eighteenth biennial convention of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, which has been in session at Washington since ‘Tuesday, August 28, adjourned on Saturday to meet at Minneapolis on the last Tuésday. in August, 1896. A cortest between the cites desirous of entertaining the Supreme Lodge at its next session was quite lively. Thrcughout the conventicn the Indianapolis reople have been demonstrative and ag- g:essive, and the Minneapolis fulks made an earnest still hunt, though it was known that they were efter the place in a serious and determined way. As bas been done heretofore, the matter of the selection of the convention city was referred to a special committee. This committee could come to no decision anJ the question was put to a ballot. Minneapolis won by a heavy ma- jority. Supreme Chancellor Blackwell ap- pointed five representatives to constitute the supreme tribunal, which hereafter will bear the same relations to the order of Knights of Pythias as the Supreme Court does to the United States. ‘he appoint- ments were promptly contirmed, and were as follows: George E. Seay of ‘Tennessee, five years; John H. Alexander of Virginia, four years; Edward A. Graham of Alabama, three years;. Benjamin T. Chase of Maine, two years, and Frank H. Clark of Wyo- ming, one year. After 1806 the encagmpments of the Uni- form Rank will probably be held independ- ently of the Supremé Lodge, as then the military branch of the.order will have its own supreme council, consisting of the major general, the @djutant general and the brigadier generals, The Pythian executtve committee on en- campment was condemned by the Supreme Lodge for its refusal)to pay the battalion Grill prize to the first battalion, first regi- ment of Indiana. ‘The local committee was right In this matter. A prize was offered to the best drilled battalion, drilling under Uptor's tactics and gppearing in the field with a full quota of stuff and regimental oMcers. The hoosiers did not do this; it was they who violated: the concitions of ‘the drill sgreement. The committee on mileage reported that the total cost of the session had been $24,722.66. Representative Bur- roughs of Illinois, in his speech, vehemently denied the allegations mude ‘by Supreme Chancellor Blackwell in~his report that Illinois was the hotbed of disloyalty. Four hundred dollars was appropriated to Past Grand Chancellor Kennedy of Illinois for his services as secretary of the commission which drafted the new constitution and codified the statutes. The installation of the officers elected to serve during the next two years, a list of whom has already been published, followed, and adjournment en- sued. — THE HUSBAND RESPONSIBLE. fle Was Punished for His Wife's Vio- 3 lation of the Law. Once more the old question of the hus- ‘band’s responsibility for his wife's actions came up for settlement in the Police Court “this morning. It was in the case of Henry and Annie Hayes, an old colored couple, who were before Judge Taylor on the charge of keeping an unlicensed bar. Acccrding to the testimony of Officer Hor- ton and the other witnesses for the prose- cution, Annie Hayes, who is about seventy years of age, keeps an eating shop in Harrison court southeast, where she sold meals from a few cents up. One of the wit- nesses, ic enpeared, had gone into her little restaurant a week ago yesterday and had an eight-cent breakfast, which Annie acterized as a “good squar’ meal.” It was further shown in the evidence, however, that Mrs, Hayes eked out her small receipts by running a “speak-easy” in conjunction with the eating counter, where she sold whisky, beer and gin to the colored people of the neighborhood. This, however, Annie stoutly denied. The husband claimed to be a farm hand, and said that all summer he had.not come in from the country more than once a week and knew nothing of what was going on at the eating saloon, but that, so far as he was concerned, he had never sold a drop of liquor in the place. Mr. Pugh, for the District, claimed that as the information had been made out jointly against the husband and wife, they could both be held for the same offense, and brought authorities in law to support his contention. But Judge Taylor held that in this case the old common law would have it that a wife is under the dominion of her husband, and that he ts legally responsible for an act of this sort. As this was Hayes’ first offense the judge imposed a fine of $250 or six months in jail in default of pay- ment. He was of the opinion that the case against Annie Hayes would have to be dis- missed, but at Mr. Pugh’s request he de- cided to hold it over until further authori- ties could be cited to show that the wife could be held al: — A Theologien3 Journal.

Ceremontes Attending the Presenta- tion of the 5S tt Erected to the Memory of F er Walter. The monument which has been erected in Mount Olivet cemetery to the memory of the late Father Jacob A. Walter of St. Patrick's Church was unvelled yesterday afternoon in the presence of a large con- course of people. The assemblage included not only the parishioners of the late priest, but members of other parishes who had learned to love and esteem Father Walter in his life time and now came to pay a last mark of respect to his memory. The Catholic clergy were well repre- sented on the stand which had been erected near the monument. Among theme were Rev. Father John Gloyd, pastor of St. Patrick's; Father Joseph F.

McFarland from the choir of the First Presbyterian Church, P. B. ‘Turpin and Frank Reeside of the choir of the Church of the Epiphany, and Bernar@ Ryan from the choir at Bt. Patrick's Chureh, opened the exercises .by rendering “Lead, Kindly Light.” The singing by the quartet was followed by more music from twenty orphan girls of St. Vincent's Asylum. Then Father Gloyd of St. Patrick's removed the veil from the monument. Father Clarence W. Currier then deliv- ered an address upon the hfe and virtues of the lJeceased, paying to his character the highest tribute. The exercises were closed by the quartet singing “I Cannot Always Lead the Way.” ‘The monument was erected by subscrip- tion, which originated tn a meeting soon after Father Walter's death, Mr. E. J. Hannan presiding, J. D. Mankin, secretary, and Paul Cromelin, treasurer. A commit- tee on design was named, of whom George Bogus was chairman, and Daniel Hannan, William George Hill, Mrs. Victor Becker, Mrs, Daniel Hannan and Mrs. John Magee the remaining members. In connection with the erection of the monument a me- morial yolune and a memorial window in St. Patrick's Church are contemplated.
