NEW YORK, October 10.-The heavy storm which set in shortly after milnisht still continues, with a very heavy sea on. An unusually high tide washed the east shore of Staten Island, doing considerable damaze to several smal! yachts which lay exposed at their anchorages close along shore. The wind blew in heavy squalls, ereating a very high, confused sea. A sloop yacht, owned by Hugh McRob- erts, and the catbeat Superior, owned by Stephen H. Brown, both of which were anchored off Tompkinsville, drifted from their moorings and were both smashed to pieces against the. trestle work of the Rapid Transit railro: blocking the west-bound track. The sloop yacht Listless,owned by E. J. Dunphy, a quarantine boatman, lies in a very dangerous position at the same place and is liable to go to pieces at any mo- ment. - ‘The only steamers reaching quarantine this morning were the Manitoba, from Rio Janeiro, and the Teutonic, from Liverpool. There probably veral other sveam- fleet near port, but between New York and Sandy Hook having been rendered useless for the time being by the gale no word of them can be received until they reach quaran- tine. The vessels due today are: Alesia, from Naples, ete.: Havel, from Bremen; ‘Kron- prinz Friedrich Wilhelm, from Naples; Mo- bile, from Londoa; Scandia, from Fiamburg; State of Nebraska, from Glasgow; Wille- had, from Bremen.

Services Over the Late Dr. Holmes. re SIMPLE CEREMONIES AT BOSTON Mourning at Bellefonte, Pa, for Andrew G. Curtin A MEMORIAL MEETING —— Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. LOSTON, Mass., October 10.—The funeral of Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes was solemn- ized at neon today within the historic walls of King’s Chapel. A fearful storm was rag- ing, and it kept at home many of the threrg of sidewalk spectators that other- wise would have turned out. The service in itself had little that appealed to the ordi- nary sightseers, It was severely plain and uncstentatious, but was inposing by its very lack of display to those who looked beneath the trappings of grief to the sorrow itself.On every face thet gathered in the old church the deepest grief was written, for none but the friends of the dead poet were in the throng. Indeed, the great part of the church was occupied by the family and relatives of the deceased, and the mem of the societies with which he was connect- ed. . The ushers and pallbearers were taken from the families related to the stricken household. The members of the Massachu- setts Medical Association dnd the faculty of Harvard Medical School and of Harvard University were given seats of prominence in the main body of the church. The floral tributes were of marked beauty. On the casket was a wreath of laurel and another was hung on Dr. Holmes’ pew in the gallery. Singing by a quartet and the simple King’s Chapel service, conducted by Rev. Edward Everett Hele, were all the ceremonies. There no eulc; no uncovering of the casket for the gaze of the public; no imposing cor- tege.

Various committees were appointed by the presi- dent, and the hours for the meetings were fixed from 9 to 12 and from 2 to 5. It was decided to hold the election for delegates to the general synod tomorrow afternoon. Rev. Eli Huber of Baltimore, a delegate from the Evangelical Churéh of the eastern district of the United States, presented the fraternal greetings of that body. An ap- propriate response was made by the presi- dent and by Rev. J. G. Morris. This is the seventy-fifth annual convention of this synod, the first meeting having been held at Winchester, Va., October 11, 1820. At that meeting eleven ministers and seven laymen were in attendance, and perfected its organization. As eight of the Lutheran congregations of the city of Washington belong to the Maryland synod, considerable interest and importance ts attached to these — by the members of these congrega- ions. The first president of the Maryland synod was the Rev. Daniel Kurtz, D.

LONDON, October 10.—Sir John Astley, the well-known sportsman, is dead. He will be remembered tn the United States as the giver of the famous Astley belt, which was so much coveted during the craze for long- distance pedestrian contests. Sir John Dugdale Astley, third baronet, was born February 19, 1828, and succeeded his father in 1873. He was formerly a lieu- tenant colonel of the Scots Guards and served in the Crimean campaign of 1854 Sir Jonn Astley sat as member of parlia- ment for North Lincolnshire from 1874 to 18%, when he was defeated. In 1855 he married Elearor Blanche Mary, only child of the late Thomas G. Corbett, e: and leaves three sons and four daughters. Further Panishment. Ex-Policeman Chas. B.

Terry, it will be remembered, shot Wash- ington during the “Jack the Slasher’ are. Th» ball strick Washington in the back, injuring the spinal column. For some time it was believed that the wound was a mortal one, end Terry was ccmmitted to jail to await the result of the injury. Wash- irgton recovered suftictently to allow his removal to his home, but the physicians stated that he would be paralyzed for li and that it was not improbatle that death would ensue, as a result of the injury, in a comparatively short time. Terry was admitted to bail upon Wash- Ington's discharge from the hospital, and subsequently tried upon an_indictinent charging him with assaulting Washington with intent to kill. The trial took place be- fore Judge McComas, who, upon Terry's conviction, sentenced him, the Sth of June last, to three years in the Albany peni- tentlary, the sentence to take effect from the day ‘of imposition. Upon a motion for a new trial being over- ruled an appeal to the Court of Appeals was noted. Several days ago, on the mo- tion of District Attorney Birney, the Court of Appeals directed that the appeal be dis- missed because the appeal had not been perfected within the forty days granted therefor by the trial court. the Appellate Court, it fs unde} all chances of Terry for a new trial.

Hence? there was nothing to prevent a trial of Terry for homicide, murder or mansiaughter. Of course, said Mr. Birney, Terry could only be tried after being indicted for either crime. Whether he would be se indicted, Mr. Birney stated that he could not now say. That would be a matter to be further considered, but he was of the opinion that Terry's conviction on the charge of as- sault with intent to kill would not, upon an indictment for murder or manslaughter, prevent him from being tried and convicted of either of the two graver offenses. Terry, since his conviction, has remained in jail, awaiting the disposition of his appeal. a GEORGETOWN SCHOONER SUNK. Five of the Crew Took to the Bonts and Are Missing.

The services today began at 9 o'clock, and will continue without interruption until 6 o'clock this evening. At noon Sir. Simon Wolf delivered an add in which he spoke of the prejudices engendered by a re- cent attack en the Jews in regard to being “fire-bugs,” and the continued persecution against the Jows in Russis, and kindred themes. In parr Mr. Wolf satd: ™M urtin’s Services, “That it was not inappropriate to speak of two Americans that have just joined the majority, for aside from their standing in the histe of the world as great men, there was particular reason for the American citizens of Jewish faith to re- member these men with affection and the highest regard. “Andrew G. Curtin, ex-governor of Penn- sylvania, minister to Russia, member of Congress, patriot and statesman, has left an example to the younger generation of which any nation might feel proud. Daunt- less courage, strong convictions, purity of thoughi, robility of character, patriotism of the very highest order, love of country and love of mankind in general, were the ch acteristics. that shone resplendent in this son of Pennsylvania, While minister to Russia, a cruel edict was issued by that government, banishing the Jews of Be Barabia. Gen, Grant, who was then Pt dent of the United States, at my solic tion, cabled Gov. Curtin ‘to use his best offices, which ho not onjy promptly did, but Interested himself specially, and went ‘out- side of his official duties to effect the re- sult, which he did,in a, most utisfactory ‘The edict was recalled, the Russian Jews not banished, and the act so cheerfully and humanely done was regarded by the friends of humanity everywhere as worthy of the highest appreciation, On the Poet's Grave. “The other is being carried to his final rest today.

He also Was ove of the great friends of our people, recoxmizing in us all those qualities that made it possible to escape the effects of persecutions of cen- turtes. Two years ago, whgn asked by the editor of the Ameriean Flebrew to. con- tribute a letter as to his opinion of the character and standing of the Jew, he spoke in the highest terms, closing with these memorable words: ‘Not until the Ghristian himself shall cease to persecute, Not until the Christian church snall learn humility modesty, not until then can the Jew expect that justice which he so eminently deserves, and ld ever receive.’ Alas, if that day has to be waited for, I fear the persecutions that have so long pursued us will continue for many centuries to come. “But to return to Holmes, He typitied, not only in his splendid papers, as repre ‘Autocrat of the’ Breakfast but in every line of verse, in every that broad catholic spirit’ which the whole world kin.

The trial of Henry Dasher and Casey Brooks, indictel with George Jones for the murder of Thos. Patterson, on the 3d of March last, was continued before Judge Cole in Criminal Court No. 2. this morn- ing. After several of the forty extfa tales- men summoned to complete the jury had been rej>cted the folowing were finally ac- cepted and sworn as the jury: Geo. R. Garnett, John A. Downs, John A. Limerick, Wm. L. Godfrey, Albert M. Boggs, John J. George, J. H. Kuehling, James V. Con- way, Jos. C. Gawler, Saml. Parks, Joseph Fanning and John Mitchell. District Attorney Birney briefly opened the case to the jury, stating that the gov- ernment expected to show that the killing of Patterson, who was a follower of the races, and a stranger here, was a most brutal assault on a -man unable, because of his intoxicated condition, to defend him- self. The parties were all young colored men, explained Mr. birney, Jones having made his escape. The first witness called was Oliver West, a colored boy. He stated that on the even- ing of the assault he noticed Brooks just outside the door of Collins’ saloon, on 1: 1-2 Street. Brooks was leaning against a bar- rel, on which were three pieces of brick. He stated to witness that Patterson had called him an insulting name. Witness saw Patterson In the saloon drinking and in- toxicated. Shortly afterward Patterson came cut of the saloon, when Brooks fol- lowed him a short distance down the street, and struck him with a brick or with his fist, knocking him down. A crowd gathered about him, among whom were Dasher and Jones. Georgiana Smallwood, a young colored woman, testified that she saw Brooks strike Patterson several times as the latter came out of the saloon, knocking him down. A crowd followed Patterson out of the saloon, and gathered about him, one of them being Dasher. Whether Patterson was struck or kicked after being knocked down witness did not know. Catherine Patten, a white woman, stated that she saw brooks strike Patterson two or three times just outside the saloon. Patterson, she said, did not strike back, but attempted to get away. A moment later she saw Dasher strike Patterson with a_ brick, ocking him down, and kicking him while down. She also heard Dasher ery out: “Do the s— of a b— Dr. Walter L.

The four deaths from pneumo- nia present an early indication of the pr ence of this malady here, and were prob- ably due to the sudden change from warm to cold weather.

The receipts of bills drawn against cotton shipments are said to be above the not capable of supplying the demand. The covering of short contracts and the inability to loan money profitably are there- fore justly assigned the responsibility for existing conditions. Call money is abun- dant at 1 per cent, and some loans under this rate are reported. Time y is also plentiful on the borrewer's terms. Europe is buying no stocks, and consequently the arbitrage business is not significant. dicatiens therefore strougiy favor a gold ‘exporting movement within the next few days, and surely during the year. Con- servative judges are not concerned at the outlook, and believe that while a temporary advantage may be given the bears should <nt fears be realized, the discounting of ‘vember elections will be a more than competent corvnter irritant. The industrials were fairly active, but not harmoniously so. Sugar continues to dominate the speculative situation, but va- ried the recent decline by a 3 1-4 per cent advance, under the leadership of a smail pool organized to take quick profits at the expense of the short interest. The downward course is likely to be re- sumed at any moment, a8 no level recently recorded is sufficiently low for the purposes of the manipulating Interest. This stock will probably be the first to discount the result of the forthegning elections, but the nec sary data cannot be collected at this early date. During the next ten days the pollt- feal horoscope may reveal the desired ad- vance information. : In the regular list the changes for the day were only fraotional.

This letter is in re- sponse to @ communication received by the Commissioners from Mr. Dunlop, in which he declined to assume the responsibility of a@ selection of any other fender than the one with which the railroad is now equip- ped. The Commissioners, in their letter, say that they regret the intention of the company not to comply’ with their jla- tion in respect to car fenders. Concluding, they say: “The Commissioners note that you state that your company is ready and willing to put on and thoroughly test to thelr satisfaction any standard furnished with their approval. “The Commissioners now request you to go further, that in order to aid in carrying out the intent of the law on the subject and to equip one car of one of your lines or j branches with the Smith automatic car fender, one car of the same line with the Parmenter automatic Life guard, two cars | of another line with the modified Russ | fenders and two cars of the remaining line | with the Hurst fen The Commissioners are determine’ to solve the question of car fenders before Congress convenes, and will do their ut- | most to bring about this condition as soon as possible. —_—~—_— WILL FIGHT FOR CAR FENDERS, ganize for a Crusade. From the Baltimore Sun of Tuesday. Th Baptist ministers of Baltimore, their meeting yesterday, took up the ques- tion of street car fenders, and after diseus- sion adopted a resolution requesting all the preachers present to speak on the question in their churches next Sunday. They also decided to request ministers of other de- nominations to unite with them in a cra- sade for safety fenders on repid transit cars. The subject was brought before the meet- ing by Rev. Dr. A. Harris of Weverly, who read a paper in which he arraigned the street car companies for neglecting to pro- vide adequate safeguards for protection against accidents, and also the city coun- cli for delay in passing an ordinance com- pelling the street car companies to provide fenders. Some of the ministers present wished to enter upon a crusade ogainst the city gov- ernment, one of them saying that a Lexow committee would be a good thing for Balti- more. It was decided to take up the ques- tion of fenders first and leave other mat- ters for future consideration. Clerks in Architect's Office Still Wit out Pay. Judge Bowler, controller of the treasury, has written a letter to Secretary Carlisle in card to the method of payment by the dis- bursing clerk of the Treasury Department of vouchers approved by the supervising ar- chitect for work under his direction. The question propounded by the supervising ar- chitect was: “Can the disbursing clerk pay these vouchers, including the weekly pay rolls of the office of the supervising archi- tect, out of any fuads in his hands and be reimbursed therefor from the proper appro- priations not in his hands, by presenting for | examination and settlement an account | therefor?” In reply, the controller sald “that it the disbursing clerk pays a voucher in all respects legal ard conforming to the regu- lations out of any funds in his hands, whether they be funds under his official cus- tedy or his cwn personal funds, and renders an account therefor, chargeable to an ap- propriation which still has to its credit an amount available for expenditure, his ac- count must be audited, examined and set tled and the amount ordered paid to him.” | The controiler quotes the law making provision for the payment of the expenses of the architect's office out of the various appropriations for public building, and the statute requiring that appropriations shall be applied solely to the objects for which they are made, and concludes as follows: “It is clear that under these two provisions of law, if the disbursing clerk pays vouch- ers, properly chargeable to one appropria- tion, out of funds officially put in his cus- tody for expenditures under other appropri ations, he does so in violation of law, a matter over which the auditor in the set- tlement of his accounts has no control.” In view of this opinion Disbursing Clerk Bartlett will make no further payments for salaries or expenses of the force of the ar- chitect’s office until the money appropri- ated specifically for public buildings in course of construction is placed im his hands.’ Meanwhile the clerks end employes of that office are going around borrowing money to pay their living expenses. They have received no money since the Ist In- stant, and can get none until this snarl is untangled. ee NEAR NEW CHWANG.

Cannot Stop the W LONDON, October 10.—The Times in an editorial article contends that any attempt on the part of the powers to stop the war | between China and Japan must fall unless supported by a tremendous display of furce, which, it says, is out of the question. “The power taking the initiative,” it says, “would make an enemy of the most powerful and progressive nation in the east, | without advancing the cause of peace and humanity a jot.
