HERRING HERE Police, express and railroad officers are as much in the dark now regarding the identity and whereabouts of the men who held up and robbed the Jacksonville ex- Press near Aquia creek on Friday night as they were when they, first received news of the affair. Theories innumerable have been advanced regarding the crime, and the peo- ple who planned and perpetrated it and many bad characters who have lived or visited in the vicinity of the robbery at various times in the past, either remote or immediate, have been credited with partict- pation in it, but despite, the exhaustive in- vVestigaticn of scores of detectives and the alert attention of the police officials of all the cities and towns within 200 miles of Widewater, there has not yet been found @ clue of any tangibility whatever, ‘Two Blind Clues, The Washington policemen have been on the alert since the robbery. On Saturday night the officers at the first precinct were excited by the information that a young man in the municipal lodging house, who gave the name of George Turner, had an- nounced that he was a member of the train- robbing gang. Turner was quickly trans- ferred to the station house, and Lieut. Amiss and Detectives Weedon, Lacy and Proctor took him in hand to ascertain what he knew. Turner was too drunk to tell more than that he was from Liberty, Mo., and had been tramping near Fredericksburg when he fell in with the thieves and joined them. Previous to this he had told Superinten- dent Dunn of the lodging house, in a maud- lin way, that he wanted to tell everything he knew, because the gang had refused to divide the money with him after they had gotten it. He also bragged of having known the James brothers at Liberty, Mo., where those desperadoes lived, and of hav- ing accompanied them on _ train-robbing expeditions, Yesterday morning Turner was sober, and he was sadder and also scared. He denied having had anything to do with the rob- bery and swore he did not know what he Was saying on Saturday night. Express Messenger Crutchfield could not identity him as* a member of the gang, so the charge of suspicion against Turner was re- placed by one of vagrancy. The local officers were also stirred up into r.aking a trip down the river yesterday. Inspector Holliaberger, Lieut. Amiss and Detectives Weedon, Horn, Lacy, Boyd and Helan, armed to the teeth with long-bar- reled Colt's revolvers In addition to their usual pistols, boarded the harbor police boat and went down the river below Alexandria to capture a mysterious schooner which was said to have been recently manned by a suspicious lot of men who were constant- ly going to and from the shore. When the martial party arrived and the schooner was boarded nothing alive was found aboard, nor was anything suspicious discovered. The crew of another schooner, anchored a thort distaice below, said the suspected vessel belonged to a’man nemed Peyton, who had gone off that morning to take his sick son to a doctor. The officers were in- formed that the boat had not left its moorings fer some weeks, but that Peyton, who Was an ex-railroad conductor, had had stopping with him’ rece The policemen returned to the city r Gisappointed at the result of their v The Chosen Spot. It ts now known that the first informa- tion given out regarding the robbery w Incorrect in stating the lecality. The tr: had crossel the drawbridge over Aq creek, and was pulling up the steep grad. in the cut on this side of the stream when two masked men entered the engine and held up the engireer and fireman. It is now believed that the men boarded the train when it stopped before crossing the drawbridge, and that the rest of the rob- bers were waiting at the spot where the train was brought to a standstill. That the thieves crossed the Potomac into Maryland is confidently believed by all parties inter- ested in the search for them. The money recured by the gang is the largest amount ever gatten by a similar crime in this country. The manifests of the Adams Express Company proved. the truth of the statement of Express Mes- senger Crutchfield made Immediately after the occurrence, that there had been $150,0) in the looted safe. Securities amounting to $16,000 were saved by being thrown aside, leaving the amount of the robbers’ booty somewhere in the nelghborhood of $161,000, The Adams Express Company's Philadel- phia branch has taken charge of the mat- ter of running the robbers down, and has employed Pinkerton detectives to assist in the work. The railroad officials are work- ing in concert with the express people, and a large number cf independent detectives are working on the case, inspired by the rewards that have been offered. Express Messenger Crutchfield {s-in the city for the purpose of assisting in the search for the criminals. He describes the man who entered the car as being about five feet nine inches tall, and weighing probably 170 pounds. His hands were small and he spoke distinctly and rapidly in a deep voice. He told Crutchfield that he wanted no packages, and the former took advantage of this to toss two bundles of bonds, containing $10,000 and $6,000, re- spectively, to one side. He said ne wanted no jewelry or watches, but only the money of the express company, and advised Crutchfield to quit the express messenger business and get into his, as there was more money in It. Clothes and Carter. It was rumored at Quantico yesterday that detectives had dragged the river and discovered a bundle of clothes containing two old coats and several pair of old trousers, These garments were supposed to have been used by the gang as disguises. Confirmation of the statement could not be secured, on account of the reticence of the express and railroad authorities. od The theory js advanced in some quarters that George Carter, a criminal, who was formerly a resident of Stafford county, and who escaped last year from Sing Sing prison, where he was serving a seven-year sentence fcr burglary, was concerned in the rubbery either as a leader or a member of the gang. Carter was at one time a locomotive engineer. He is a desperate character, and his familiarity with the country around Aquia creek would have led him to select just such a spot for the commission of @ crime like that of Friday night. Carter, however, not been seen in Stafford since his escape from the peni- tentiary, and there are, so far as can be ascertained, no persons in the victnity who would run the risk of corresponding with or hartoring him. Detectives are looking for Carter, however, as they are for all suspected parties. That there are a number of such persons is known, and several of them are now under surveillance, but the officials are preserving as much secrecy as possible about their movements, in order that thelr plans may not be interfered with, Mr. Herring Here. Mr. J. Q. A. Herring, manager of Adams Express Company, is now in Washington, directing the search that is being made for the thieves. All the morning he has been busy ‘eecelving verbal and written reports from the agents and detectives engaged upon the case, and examining information sent in from various parties who think their kaowledge of certain incidents of an unusual sort may have some bearing upon beg in the way of leading to a clue. afternoon Mr. Herring told a Star reporter that there had robbery and the postibifity of pursuit being commenced was known. beforehand to the robbers without | question, because the entire plan follo ‘in'the perpetration of oe had Saioreeea an detail. Som in it vevery e with the locality was undoubt- edly @ participant, such a person would have hardly allowed his companions to go across the Potomac where there are scarcely any and where.the presence of a stranger is sure to be commented upon by the stcady-going inhabjtants, who lead a dull and uneventful ex:! ce from one end of the year to the other.’ If the robbers had horses awaiting them where they deserted the stolen engine they could have easily le, stations on the old Virginia Midland below Alexandria and started away by that means. The Satur- day morning traffic Is always large on the trains on this line, and sufficient time had not elapsed since th robbery for a sur- veillance of. passengess to have been estab- lished by a conductor, even if such an offi- cial had imagined the men who committed a crime thirty or thirty-five miles away or further could have by any possibility reach- ed the road. Another view that is enter- tained by members of the Washington police force 1s that the members of the gang had confederates in the country some miles back cf the river, and that they were hidden away safe from discovery long before the detectives began to scour the neighbor- hood, and will be kept in hiding until opportunity offers for them to quietly leave. Still another belief, which has many ad- herents, is that the robbers had a sailboat, such as a small oyster sloop or schooner, in waiting,- and boarded the vessel and set sail down the river before the very strong breeze that was blowing. In such a case the fugitives would have innumerable op- portunities to get away. From Alexandria to the mouth of the river there is absolutely no means of communication, save by steam- ers, with the one exception of. the telephone wire which runs to Indian Head, and is con- trolled by the government. Oyster boats are continually passing up and down, and the appearance of such a boat would not oc- casion a moment's interest on the part of any river man or dweller along the shore. Such individuals merely look at such a boat to see if they recognize it, and If it is not dim Smith's “Rose” or Bill Jones’ “Belle of Alexandria” they display no curiosity in its movements. It is also probable that the news of the robbery has not reached many of the lower river landings yet, and a schooner or sloop with a crew aboard might have run in at any one of them and been tied up, and the men separated without any- thing unusval being thought of it. Source of Danger. These are the three views entertained most largely by persons well qualified to Ju€ge in such matters, who disagree with the theory intertained by the express and railroad officials. ‘There is a small army of Pinkertons cut, however, and every hint that may possibly lead to a clue is being fellowed to its source with earnest persist- erce. River poats and railroad trains are closely watched, and suspicious characters cvethatled along both shores of the Poto- trac, while the police authorities of the en- tire country are on the lookout for possible Aquia creek robters, An old detective said this morning that he believed the gang would be caught, and that very soon, by reason of the foolhardiness of scme one of its members. “If the amount gotten had been small,” he remarked, “I would be incline to believe that the crowd would. get off entirely, be- cause of the great start they secured’ and the mysterious way they dropped out of sight. But $180,000 fs an awful big sum to clvide tp between seven or eight men, es- pecially when the chances are that none of them ‘ever as much as saw before the amount they received.as their part of the hooty. Some one of those feilows is liable to get drunk and begin spending money hand over fist. If he has never been known to have much befo flush condition will make him a subj: emark. Then some- bedy will get a and the whole thing will come sir; I believe the large sum taken wi) be the means of the eventual arrest of the crowd. A crook ad loses his head quicker than you tmazine pin in what I've said, and see what you'll see. . Amount Secarea. The booty secured by the train robbers seems to be not so! ¥reat by many thou- sands of dollars as at’ fryt estimated. Pre: ident L. Weir of ‘the, Adams £xpress Company said today ‘that he believed the Joss from the .Aquia ereek train robbery would not exceed $25,650, and. that the sum would probably be lets, as part of that sum doubtless was in draft, and bonds not negotiable. i ‘ opinion that 500K), Is at Richmond express the e robbers did not secure over Mr. Murray, who handled the pouches and cut thera open for the robbers, says he is satisfied from the feeling of them that the amount did not exceed this, He says the bonds were all saved, as he threw thein ina pile of stuff the robbers discarded. HISTORY GONE INTO Brotherhood of St. Andrew's Convention a Thing of the Past. The ninth annual corvention of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew ts now a thing of the past, and it came to a close as a con- vention of this sort appropriately should, With celigtous services held yesterday in the varlous churches of the city, all of which were largely attended and aroused a deai of fervor and enthusiasm. Although the con- vention has formally ended, the delegates have not all left town by any means, and @ great many of them went down the river this afternoon by steamer on a pilgrimage to Mount Vernon. On the return trip the m at Alexandria long delegates to attend a rist’s Church. Among pact in the service are Hall, rector of Grace . Wallis, rector of Pohic P. Paillips, rector of Paul's Church; and there will be ad- ses by Rev. Dr. Suter, rector of Christ's Church, and Mr. Silas MeBce, second vice president of the brotherhood. ressive Services, The services under the auspices of the brotherhood yesterday were of, an exceed- ingly impressive character. At ‘7 o'clock in the morning holy communion was celebrat- ed in the various Episcopal churches, though the majority of the visiting dele- gates attended the Church of the Epiphany, where Rt. Rev. Dr. Jackson, bishop of Ala~ bama, officiated as celebrant. ‘There was a sh to allow th special service at | large congregation at this church at 9:30 o'clock, when the anniversary sermon was delivered by the Rt. Rev. Davis Sessums, bishop of Louisiana. The regular morning service was held at 11 o'clock, and was con- ducted by Rev. Dr. Floyd W. Tompkins, jr., who delivered the sermon, He was as- sisted by Rev. Dr. McKim, Rev. Dr. Stone and Rev. J. Thompson Cole. Dr. Tompkins took for his text the vérs¢s from Acts, chap- ter 11: “When Peter wag come up to Jeru- salem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him, aE. thou wentest into them uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.” Dr. ‘fempkins said that a certain amount of intolerance might rea- sonably be expected, from men who were not in sympathy wijh the truth, but that there was no room for narrow-mindedness among those who had looked through the open door of revelation "and had seen the glories of @ new thought and a new life. It ts hard to realize shat the early Chris- tians should have been so narrow as to become provoked wheh ope of their number preached the salvation of Christ to a Roman centurion and his family.” The day for*such intolerance as this ‘was long since past, said Dr. Tompkins, apd his sermon through- out was an earnest and eloquent appeal for broader views and nobler principles within the church of God. At the afternoon mass meeting at Con- vention Hall the accommodations of that great structure were taxed to the utmost, and not sitce the Moody meetings has there been such a gathering at a religious service. The exercises which brought the conven- tion to a close were conducted by Bishop Paret of Maryland at the Church of the Epiphany last evening. The subject was “The Kingdom in the World,” there being three Dr. Tompkins spoke on “The Salt Earth,” Bishop Gilbert o! “Not Peace, but a and Bishop Dudley of Kentucky on ‘The Net Cast Into the Sea.” & the close of = Dudley’s ad- dress an impressive farewell service was held, conducted by Dr. Tompkins. se us Saturday's Foot Ball Games, ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS Death and Funeral of the Rev. Dr. Charles Minnigerode, Many Other Notes of General and Local Interest—To Announce Re- sults of Courts-Martial. Rev. Dr. Charles Frederick Ernest Min- nigerode, one of the most prominent minis- ters in the south, whose serious illness has been mentioned In The Star, died at his home in this city at 2:45 o'clock on Satur- day afternoon. Several weeks ago, while walking across his study, the doctor was stricken with paralysis and fell so the floor, badly bruising his back and head, and owing to his advanced years was not able to recover from the shock. He was in a semi-conscious condition from that time until his death. His wife and seven chil- dren, who survive him, Rev. J. G. Minni- gerode, William Minnigerode, L. D. Minni- gerode, Meade Minnigerode, Mrs. James A. Duckworth,. Mrs. James F. Gregory and Miss Belle Minnigerode, were with aim when he breathed his last. Before coming to this city, five years ago, Dr. Minnigeroge was pastor of St. Paul s Episccpal Church, Riehmond, and had been for thirty-five years. During the late war he administered to the president of the con: federacy while he was in confinement Fortress Monroe, visiting him twice a month by special permission of the Secre- tary of War, and administering the holy communion in a peculiarly sacred manner. It was while listening to a sermon by Dr. Minnigerode in St. Paul’s Church, Rich- mond, that President Davis heard the news of the fall of Richmond, and but for the wonderful influence that the doctor had over his flock there would have been a eed in the church. At the time of Mr. avis’ death a memorial service was held in the church, and Dr. Minnigerode preach- ed one of the ablest and most impressive sermons ever listened to from any pulpit, and one which was copied by the press throughout the country. Dr. Minnigerode was ordained a minister in the Episcopal Church in 1846, and had been steadily engaged in its work up to the time he came to this city, since which time he had preached an occasional sermon in St. Paul's Church, this city. His first charge was at Mcunt Hope, Prince George's county, from where he Went to Christ Church, Norfolk, and thence to Richmond. The doctor had heid many prominent posi- tions in the executive work of the church and generally attended all the councils as a delegate. He was for a number of years an examiner at the Episcopal Theological Seminary near this city, and was at the time of his death one of the trustees. For a long time he was president of the Virginia Bibie Society. When he resigned the rector- ship of St. Paul's Chureh, Richmond, he was made rector emeritus. Last May the doctor and Mrs. Minnigerode celebrated their golden weddirg, and many friends at home and from abroad participated in the celebration, since which time, and since his eighticth birthday, which was in September, the dcctor seemed willing that his time skould come and he should be carried to that throne on high to which his long life ot Christian work had entitled him. fhe funeral took place from his jate resi- dence, on King street, this morning at 10 o'ciock, the vestrymen of Si. Paul’s Church, in this city, acting as pallbearers. The re- mains were taken to Richmond on the 11:18 train, where they will be met by the vestry- men and members of St. Paul's Church of that city and interred in the family burying ground. Dr, Lee Harban of Montgomery county, | Md., was in the city yesterday, the guest of | Mr. Ashby Miller.

It is not thought, however, that these were the men wanted. + The churches yesterday were well attend- ed and the local pastors officiated. Interest- ing sermons were preached both morning and evening. Large numbers of stgangers visited the city during the day. Owing to the cold snap there was not so much travel over the electric railway as on previous Sundays. The police report everything par- ticularly quiet and no arrests made. Charles H. McKnight of Chicago is in the city on a visit to relatives. Drs, Thomas Gibson of this city, Snowden and Snyder of Washington, who have been in Montana for the last two months on a hunting trip, have returned. A charter was granted in the ‘corporation Court on Saturday to the Cosmopolitan Savings, Loan and Annuity Association of Washington. C. L. Eastman of Washington is named as president. Gardner L. Boothe of this city will act as local agent. The ob- jects of the association are to do a general building and loan business. The capital stock is fixed at $100,000. The steamer Charles Macalester, which left Washington at 2:30 today, took to Mount Wernon a large number of the dele- gates to the convention of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. On their return services will be held at Christ Church, after which a lunch will be served in the lecture room. The entire center of the church will be re- served for the delegates. All the arrangements have been made for the boxing match which is to take place in this city on Thursday night between Hite Peckham and Jack Costello of Toronto, under the auspices of the Henry Athletic Club. Peckham 1s training for the “go,” and fs in the best conditioy’ There will be several other interesting bouts. Prof. Gruber and family of Marion, N. C., are the guesis of Mrs. J. M. Hill. Miss Mary Moore has to visit relatives. There were several cases of Saturday night drunks before his honor the mayor in the police court this morning. Harrison 13.

Many Notes of General Interest From Across Rock Creek—Womna: Demented — Notes, The new Volta Institute, established by Prof. Alexander Graham Bell, assisted by his father, Prof. Alexander Melville Bell, is being fitted for occupation. The old headquarters of the workers in the interest of the deaf and dumb, in the rear of Prof. Melville Bell’s home, is be- ing divested of its most useful contents, which are finding a new home in the big perminent structure opposite the convent, erected at a cost of nearly $9,000, The most important removal that of the library, which consists of a multitude of sctentifie works, the result of the efforts of the learned patrons of the institute, and of those in other countries, who have be- come versed in knowledge relating to the deaf. The library in the new building will not be a miscellaneous one. Only books relating to the subject under consideration will be permitted to stand upon the shelves. The great majority of the books on hand have been given to the Velta Society. Now that a substantial and permanent home has been taken possession of, with facili- tles to make itself known throughout the the men went in the direction of Shuler’s | | scientific and civilized world, heavy liter- ted. The pub- s of the bureau will be distributed gratuitously and care will be taken to see that they reach all comners of the learned | globe. The works already published may be found not only in the university coun- tries of the werld, but even in Denmark, Poland, some of the islands of the Pa- cific, portions of Asia, and even in south- ern Africa. Many of the works distributed have cost from $% to $15 to publish, irrespective of the literary labor expended. Prof. Hitz of Switzerland is the super- intendent of the Volta bureau. Mrs. Drew's Funeral. ‘The remains of Mrs. Mary Drew, wife of Col. W. O. Drew, the fire marshal, were in- terred this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The large representation of Georgetowners testi- fled strongly to the esteem in which the de- ceased was held. She was a lady whose kind heart and willing hands endeared her to all with whom she came in contact. No Sunday Funerals, The officials of Oak Hill no longer permit the entry of funeral processions in the ceme- tery on Sunday. For a long time no inter- ments have been permitted on that day, but the vaults have been thrown open for the re- ception of bodies. The new regulation, though, does away absolutely with Sunday funerals. Found Dewented. A woman was found wandering on the streets at 1:30 this morning. When ques- tioned by the police as to who she was and where she was going she could give no satis- factory replies, making statements that were rambling. It was soon seen that she was demented, and she was brought to the station. There the woman was recognized as Mary Taylor, wife of Lum Taylor, a well-known colored man of the first ward. Mary is sixty-two years of age. She was given proper care. A al Visitation. The annual grand visitation of the officers of the Grand Lodge of the District of Co- lumbia to Potomac Lodge, No. 5, F. A.

While we drive the brain we must build up the body. Ex- ‘ ercise, pure air —foods that make healthy flesh—refreshing sleep—such are methods. When loss of flesh, strength and nerve become apparent your physician will doubtless tell you that the quickest builder of all three is Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, which not only creates flesh of and in itself, but stimulates the appetite for other foods. : Prenaved by Scott @Rewne.
