He said he was perfectly willing to return to Washington, and made no effort to resist arrest. Clone on Their Trail. The officers have been close on his trail ever since he left Washington and felt all along that his capture was only a question of time. The status ef his companion, Sin- sabaugh, is not very clearly defined. <Al- thovgh it is not contended that he was con- cerned in the stamp theft, it hi been deemed advisable to bring him to Wabhing- ton for examination, tn view of his associa- tion with Beach and the probability that he has information that may be of value. Beach and he have had a hard time of it since they left Washington. They had very little money and were compelled to “beat” or tramp It most of the way to Columbia. is known that they went to Baltimore, hen to Norfolk, and that they then “beat” their way by short stretches to Columbia, where the detectives caught up with and captured them. Beach traveled under the name of Ned Lawrence and was caught by means of a decoy letter addressed to that name in Columbia. The authorities there were notified that Beach would probably apply for the letter, and so were on the lookout for him and his companion. The two men fell into the trap laid for them, and in anticipa- tion of its successful operation, Agent Bar- ker was promptly on hand with warrants for their removal to Washington for a hear- ing. They will reach kere tomorrow. Completen the List of Suspects. It is said at the Treasury Department that this arrest completes the list of persons suspected of complicity in this case, and that there is no reason to even infer that any other person had a hand in it, This statement applies only to principals and not to persons who may have been the innocent recipients of stolen property. lt was also stated that so far as the Treasury Depart- ment is at present advised, the total num- ber of stamps stolen does not exceed Mr. Hazen, chief of the secret serv sion, is in New York as a witness In the case of Brown and Harris, who will be tried there today fo> receiving stamps from Smith and Longstre Knowing them to be stolen. These men will not be brought to Washington unless they are wanted as wil- res: Whatever off. was committed by them in this matter is entirely within the jurisdiction of the New York courts. What Mrs. Smith Says. Mrs. William 8. Smith, the wife of the man who was arrested last Thursday on the charge of conspiracy in the stamp rob- bery at the bureau of engraving and print- ing, is lying Il in bed as a result of the shock which her husband's trouble has brought upon her. Ever since they came to this city, last spring, Mr. and Mrs. Smith have occupied a large and rather preten- us house, 1424 Rhode Island avenue. It was furnished with material that they ew Jersey. Smith’s salary as clerk in the bureau would hardly seem to warrant the mainte- nance of such an establishment, but he and h street, from M to P, G. and &., $9,000, | his wife had noped to eke out their income | by falling the house with boarders. In this they had been rather unsuccessful, and, ac- cording to Mrs. Smith's statement io a Star reporter this afternoon, they have been running behind in every way, and y: terday deputies took possession of the lang er part of her furniture to satisfy the land- lord's claim for unpaid rent. Only her $300 exemption was left, and the house today presents a rather bare and forlorn appearance. All this, Mrs. Smith claimed in her interview with The Star re- porter, must be an element in her husband's favor, and she denied earnestly that they had been living beyond their income. She said that nothing has been bought for the house in any way of late, and a number of unpaid bills still hang over them. It is protable she will be compelled to leave her nt house within the next few days. Thinks Her Husband a Dupe. Mrs. Smith says that her husband is a man who would like to be well dressed, but that he has spent no money on himself in this way, and, in fact, he has not acted at all as one would expect of a man who had received an unexpected addition to his in- come. She also contradicts the statement that her mother, who ts now with her in her tire of trouble, is a woman of means. All they own was represented in their furniture and personal belongings, and this they re- garded as capital when it came to renting rooms. Mrs. Smith firmly believes in her hus- band’s innocence, but insists that if there has been any crooked business at all her husband is only a dupe and not a prin- cipal. She said that frequently of late when she told her husband that they were running behind financially, he assured her that it would soon be all right, as he was in with some “high people” and they would push him along. She says that her hus- band was not a man of expensive tasies and that if he spent any money outside of his own home she knows nothing of it. They have had no postage stamps in their house for some time back, and whenever she or her husband had occasion to mail a letter they always went to the corner drug store for a stamp. e+ ____ OPENING A STREET. n, | He: ; 105; Amsterdam, 108; The Bluffer, 108; | N°*TI"® 0 © Proposed Cut by the Commissioners, It will be remembered that at the last session of Congress the law authorizing the widening and extension of any alley was maritan, 10S; Little Ella, 105; ‘Tempting, | Medified to include the opening of minor streets not less than forty nor more than sixty feet In widtb. 2 Parties owning interior property in square 69 desire to open a sixty-foot street, running east and west, through the center The | Was won by Flattery, 2 to 5; Camden, sec-| of the square.

FORMALLY DISSOLVED Resignation With Regret. HIGH PRAISE FROM ALL ‘ Expressions ‘of Regret From Minis- ters'and Laymen. FOSTER'S - MR. PAPER The pastoral relations which have existed for more than a dozen years between Rev. Wm. A. Bartlett, D. D., and the New York Avenve Presbyterian Church were formally dissolved this morning at a meeting of the presbytery of Washington. It was an ad- journed meeting of the body, and the prin- cipal matter of business that came before it was this request of Dr. Bartlett, which was finally granted, though with every evi- dence of regret on the part of the other members of the presbytery that the action nad been made necessary on account of his failing health. At a meeting of the con- gregation of the New York Avenue Church last Friday evening Dr. Bartlett's resigna- tion from active duties was taken up, and @ committee was then appointed to go be- fore the presbytery at its meeting today and join in the request for a severance of these relations. This committee attended the meeting this morning, which was held in the Sunday school room of Dr. Bart- lett’s church, the room in which he has pre- sided so many times at the regular prayer meetings of the congr2gation. Not often does a man hear such words of praise and commendation as wer showered upon the retiring pastor this morning. Usually things of this sort are said ot a man after he is dead, but it must be very grateful to him to find out, while he ts still alive, something of the esteem in which he 1s held by his fellow men. This was Dr. Bartlett's experience this morn- ing, and he seemed fairly overwhelmed by the kindly and tender expressions of re- gard that came from every member of the presbytery, ministers and laymen. They made the best of the opportunity to bear witness of the pleasant relations which all had sustained toward him during the years of his ministry in this city. Sach something to say of some special and par- ticular phase of Dr. Bartlett's character and methods, which, in the speaker's opinion, had tended to making his work such a success. A good deal of stress was laid on the fact that this church had been blessed with hav- ing in its pulpit some of the best pulpit crators and ministers that this country has ever produced. To have succeeded such men as Dr. Gurley, Dr. Mitchell and Dr. John R, Paxton made his position a doubly trying one for Dr. Bartlett when he was calied to this city, but all bore testimony this morning to the fact that the work of the church had never fallen behind in the slightest degree, but had always advanced steadily, and in @ most encouraging man- er. It was the general consensus of opinion that no higher commendation could be paid a mdi than to say that for twelve years he had tilled this position in Wash- ington with such’ credit to himself and to the advantage of his own people and the community generally. Almost the entite session of the presby- was taken up with the matter of Dr. lett’s retirement, and but little other business of ‘importance was taken up. ‘There was one matter, however, of gener- al inter Last week ex-Secretary John - Foster, who has but recently returned to Washington from a trip around the world, read a paper before the congrega- tion of the church embodying some of the experiences of his travels, and going at some length into the matter of the progress and success of foreign missions in the | erient, especially ‘In’ China and Japan. The paper was heard with the greatest interest by a large audience, and is already looked upon as a most important addition to the literature on the subject, coming, as it does, from a layman and a man of such prominence. At the meeting this morning Dr. T. 8. Hamlin of the Church of the Covenant spoke in the highest terms of Mr. Foster's paper and expressed the opinion that some effort should be made to have it brought before the world at large. Already the paper has been brought to the attention of the board of foreign missions in New York and steps have been taken to have Mr. Foster read the paper in that city. Not content with this Dr. Hamlin introduced a minute, which was seconded by Rev. Mr. Kelly and unanimously adopted, giving it as the sense of the meeting that the board should be urged to disseminate this paper in every way possible and to have the writer read it in the other large eastern cities, The meeting this morning was called to order at 10 o'clock with prayer by the mod- erator, Rev. Dr. Alexander, and Rev. Dr. B, F. Bittinger acted as stated clerk. ‘The business of the seesion was formally begun by Dr. Bartlett, who was given an opportunity to formally present his request for a sundering of the pastoral relations which had held him to his church for such a length of time. There were tears in his eyes and in his voice as he assured the gathering that nothing in the world but the alarming condition of his health had induced him to take this action. His con- nestion with the church had always been of the most delightful character. They had had their differences, of course, strong men have a right to differ, but bond that had held him to his charge had but grown the stronger with the passing years, and now it was with feelings of d sorrow and keen regret that he felt eom- pelled to lay down the active work of the ministry and to erter upon the period of rest which his physicians had enjoined upon him if he would preserve his life at all. In conclusion he spoke of the pleasant relaticns that had always existed between himself and the presbytery as a body, and he asked that in accepting his withdrawal they make it so as to terminate his con- nection with the church after the second Sunday in November. His connection with the presbytery, he hoped, would continue as long as he lived. At the close of Dr. Bartlett's remarks Mr. John Randolph, a member of the commit- tee appointed at the congregational meet- ing of the church last Friday, presented the resolutions that were adopted on that oc- casion, and which have already been re- ported in The Star. The minute was read by Dr. Bittinger, and then occasion was given to the members of the body to speak. Ex-Governor Wells, who was also a mem- ber of the committee, spoke feelingly of the deep regret occasioned in the congregation by Dr. Bartlett’s action. It was peculiarly fitting that he should speak in this con- necticn, as he was‘one of the two members of the church who were sent to Indianap- olis nearly thirteén years ago to hear Dr. Bartlett preach to report upon the matter of calling Him to this city. At that time the cor was all but unani- mous in calling him, and now there would not be a dissenting voice in a vote asking him not to wi if such actios part would Ay him. pcr! nted by Dr. Bittin, which paid ac high tribute to Dr. Bartictt as a man, a gitizen and as a minister, con- cluding with ED granting, though with an exp of their profound re- gret, the request for a sundering of pas- toral relations.

HE MAKES FOUR SPEECHES Ohio's Governor Arousing the West Vir- ginia Bepublicans Mx-Secretary Hikins Relates His Ex- pertence—Demecrats Working With Determination. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. October 23.— greesional districts of this state and mak- ing a vigorous campaign in behalf of the republican candidates for Congress. To- day he spoke at four railroad towns in Congressman Capehart’s district, invaded Parkersburg and in the afternoon entered the first district, now represented by Mr. Pendleton, but where Mr. Howard is tne democratic candidate, while in the evening he will speak at Wheeling. Last night Governor McKinley addressed an immense audience at Charleston. Three -steamboats brought crowds from the coal mines and lumber mills up the river, others came by train and the big cpera house was packed from pit to gallery, while half as many people had to stand in the street, where they were by ex-Secretary of War Stephen B. Elkins. Governor McKinley's audience was far from being a “silk stocking’’ crowd and the republican managers are highly grati- fled at the turnout of what was apparently the labor classes. Governor McKinley went at the crowd on the “calamity basis’ and struck a sympathetic chord at «nce. He laid at the democratic door all the hard times and depression in industries and business, claiming that the present situa- tion is the result of nineteen months of democratic administration. He did not make an explanation of why it was, but ex- planation was unnecessary, for the crowd seemed to accept his statement without question, They were evidently in hard luck and glad to have some one to blame. Governor McKinley succeeded in arousing the audience to an intense pitch of cn- thuslasm for republicanism and protection, and mention of the republican candidate for Congress produced loud applause after he had told them that the return of a repub- lican Congress would put a check upon hard times and later insure the return of the Kanawha region to prosperity. Charleston is the center of the republican organization for the third congressional district and the campaign managers are confident of beating Mr. Alderson. He had a majority ot the last election of about 2,000 out of a vote of 44,000, and the repub- leans claim his heaviest vote was given in two counties, which this year will cut that vote in half, while in the majority of the other fourteen counties of the district there will be great republican gains. All along the Kanawha coal region there is sald to be intense dissati«faction among the miners, who feel the pr of the hard times now and probably »...se to come with the re- duced coal tariff. In the lumber district In Greenbrier county the feeling against Mr. Alderson on account of free lumber is said to be very marked and the democratic ma- jority may be cut. Ex-Secretary Elkins returned last night from the southern portion of the district, the great Flat Top and Pochahontas coal region. To The Star correspondent he said: “The republicans will surely carry that end of the district by a heavy majority; the miners are already feeling the result of the reduced tariff on coal. The bulk of that coal goes to eastern tidewater and the upper Atlantic coast. The trade is even now being affected. The daily output of coal is lessening, while men are being thrown out of work and wages will probably be reduced.” Mr. Elkins is delighted with the enthusi- asm which has greeted Governor McKin- ley in the state, and he predicts great re- publican gains all oyr the industrial sec- tions of West Virginia. The democratic managers, however, do not concede all the claims of the republicans. They say that the district is naturally democratic and that there is a stronger desire this year than ever for tariff reform. They claim that the reduced tariff on coal cannot hurt this section because the operators have a market down the Ohio river and in the Mississippl valley which no outside competition can touch, and that if there is a reduction in wages it will be for political effect solely. They admit that hard times are hurting the democratic cause, but they are trying to reason with the people about the situation and absolve the democrats from th2 responsibility. The democrats are undoubtedly making a more vigorous popular canvass of the district than thelr opponents and are put- ting abler speakers in the field. The re- publicans are adopting the tactics which Mr. Elkins is using in Mr. Wilson's dis tict, and are going quietly about from mine to lumber camp and talking business with the men. Charleston is the only point where an endeavor was made to srouse popular cnthusiasm. The democrats be- lieve they will elect Mr. Alderson by a reduced majority. N. O. M. —>_— HE MAY SPEAK. Secretary Carlisle Asked to Take the Stump. Secretary Carlisle ts receiving urgent de- mands from all parts of the country to speak on the political issues of the day and he is strongly Inclined to accept one or two of them. The principal appeals come from Indfanapolis and New York city, although a strong petition for his presence came to- day from party friends in New Orleans. It is said that the Secretary desires to confer with the President before committing himself to active participation in the cam- paign, and that he will be governed by his wishes -in the matter. The Secretary is pledged to one speech at Louisville, Ky., and has partly committed himself to speak in Indianapolis and New York in case he goes out of his own state. —_+-+—__—- ASKS FOR TROOPS.

Safety Appliances Ordered on the Pennsylvania Line. The Commissioners were kept busy yes- terday afternoon considering the sugges- tions made a short time ago by Inspector Beggs as to the proper means to secure the public against the lability to accidents at railroad crossings in the southwestern sec- tion of the city. As a result of this con- ference the following were issued: “That the Baltimore and Potomac Rail- road Company be notified that the gates at Maryland avenue and 6th street southwest are not suitable for all the crossings at that location. The gates do not cover the north sidewalk of Maryland avenue at the west side of 6th street, nor the north roadway of Maryland avenue. That this company also be notified that it is required to operate the gates at 12th and 13th streets southwest during the night as well as the day. This company is further notified that under the police regulations it is required to fence along its tracks on Maryland avenue be- tween 6th and 7th streets southwest, and elsewhere in the District where the grade of the railroad track is approximately even with the adjacent surface. “That the Southern Railway Company be police regulation notified that under the ANOTHER SMALLPOX CASE A Woman Who Washed the Clothes of the Dead Child. Prompt Measures Tak«u to Check the Further Spread of the Disea:e. Another case of smallpox has been dis- covered in the northeastern section of the The new case is that of Mary Thom- who lives at 243 14th street northeast, she contracted the disease the same way that Mary Mundell, the other patient, aid. EFE Alice Sommerville is the washerwoman of the Coston family, and Mary Thomas, her cousin, has been in the habit of helping her. During the iliness of Mr. Coston’s child Mary Thomas did all the washing for the family and in that way took the disease. There scems to be little doubt now that the baby died true smallpox, although a death certificate was given for confluent varicola. When Dr.Woodward arrived at the health office this morning he found Dr. Wilder waiting for him. Dr. Wilder stated that he desired to report a case of smallpox at 243 “14th street northeast. Dr. Woodward at once hurried to the house in question there found Mary Thomas i!l with small- x. There was no doubt of the disease, and when he Jearned that she had washed some of the clothes of the baby who died recently from a suspicicus eruption his diagnosis was confirmed, and he at once notified Dr. Nevitt that he would shortly send him an- other patient. After leaving strict Instruc- tions with the family of the stricken wo- man not to allow any — pA ee he reported at once to the Commission He told them the situation, and sald vig- orous measures were necessary to stamp out the disease at once before it got a foot- hold. The Commissioners told Dr. Wood- ward to use his mcrae Ew — reed y the emergency e wanted an; money to prosecute his work. They also notified Dr. Nevitt that the hospital and everybody connected with it were directly responsible to him, and that he could reg- ulate things as he thought proper. Heaith Officer Woodwari, acting upon in- structions from the Commissioners, imme- lately dispatched Dr. O'Malley, who is an attache of the health office, to see = Lo house of Mary Thomas was \y fumi- gated and that all of the clothing used by her was destroyed. He also gave notice to his subordinates that the particular vicinity in which these two cases of smallpox were discovered should be kept under strict sur- veillance and the slightest suspicious case reported at once. The Commissioners appointed, this after- noon, Miss Maggie Pemberton nurse at the hospital, and authorized the health officer to employ such other assistants as he deemed necessary. Everythirg was in readiness at the hos- pital for the new patient when the ambu- lance arrived this afternoon. She was put in the same ward with the first patient, and Dr. Nevitt immediately administered med- ical trec.tment. It was learned this afternoon that a sister of Mary Mundell, the first patient, was taken sick and had gone to her home at Pisgah, Md., which is about ten miles below Glymont. Health Officer Woodward imme- diately notified Surgeon General Wyman of the army, and w search ts now being con- ducted for the missing woman. Speaking of the danger of an epidemic, Health Officer Woodward said: “While, at this time, it is impossible to tell to what extent we will have to deal with smallpox, I hardly think it will extend beyond those already exposed. These are being isolated as rapidly as possible, and the houses fumigated. A vigorous cam~- paign against the dread disease is being carried on, and I leok for its complete ob- literation in a short time. There is really no great cause for alarm, but I would ad- vise those who have not been vaccinated recently to have it done at erce.” At a late hour this afternoon both pa- tients at the hospital were doing well, al- though Mary Mundell had suffered con- siderably during the day with hemorrhage. —>—— SUIT FOR DAMAGES.

NEW YORK, October 23.—The control of the professional element was agaia only fecbly disputed this morning and st values were irregular and almost stationary in consequence. There were no new de- velopments of importance and the course of prices reflected the lack of purpose so pronounced in the transactions of the last few days. The foreign exchange market attracted some attention by reason of renewed firm- ness, and gold exports are now reganied as decidedly probable before the close of the week. Rates are a shade above those posted yesterday and would move up easily should the demand increase. Banking houses are the most urgent in demanding bills, which clearly indicates previous short selling in anticipation of the usual reduction in fall rates. The covering of these short contracts, which has been in Progress for the last ten days, has not re- duced the outstanding interest sufficiently to allay fears of a forced covering move- ment, which would undoubtedly result in exporting coin to the full amount of these obligat! tons. The needs of the sugar, coffee and dry goods houses are not large, and could easily be provided for if the speculative fea- ture of the situation was removed. No en- gagements of gold have been reported, and mo accurate estimate of the probable amount Is obtainable at this early date. The shoris in Merhattan contributed to @ 2 per cent rise in the price of that stock, but the sentiment of the street regarding the property is unaltered. The success of the recent bear attack is almost sure to encourage its repetition by the same in- terests, and good judges of the situation predict a further reduction in price before purchases will be warranted. The com- pany’s statement is shortly to be published and will probably explain the present move- ment. es FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
