Local Arrangements for Giving the Delegates a Cordial Welcome—An Executive Committee Organized. The meeting of the Southern Baptist con- vention, which is the largest delegated ec- clesiastical body in the world, and which will begin in Washington on May 10, con- tinuing four days, will not only be of especial interest on account of the occa- sion being the fiftieth anniversary of the organization of the association, but in many other respects. Among the import- ant questions that will be considered will be the cementing of the bond of union for practical work in the south between the southern and northern conventions (the latter body assembling in Albany, N. Y., a week later), and which has been pursued on independent lines since the separation of the Baptist Church throughout the United States in 1845, but for which a plan of union was recently adopted. The executive officers of the home mis- sion board, foreign mission board and Sun- day school board at Nashville, Tenn., to whom was left by the convention of last year which met at Dallas, Tex., the choice | of the place of meeting of the convention _ of 18¥5, having accepted the invitation of the Baptist ministers’ conference of Wash- ington, extended unanimously some time since, to hold the approaching convention here, a meeting of delegates from the fif- teen Baptist churches of the District was held Friday night im Calvary Baptist | Church, corner of H and 8th street north- west, Rev. S. H. Greene, pastor, to take | steps te make the necessary arrangements. ‘Among those present were Revs. C. A. Stakely, S. H. Greene, Joseph P. Muir, C. C. Meador, Hugh T. Stevenson, George E. T. Stevenson, N. C. Naylor, W. 8. O. ‘Thomas, C. W. Needham, A. F. Anderson, Hez Swem, George Lowman, Messrs. Miles M. Shann, Robert H. Martin, Samuel M. Yeatman, Dr. D. S. Foster, A. M. Clapp, FB. M.

Kerper, William A. Henderson, L. C. Whitney, Luther R. Smith, D. C. Fountain and many | others. pile meeting was called to order by Rev. re Meador, and, after devotional exer- s, the deleyates organized as an ex tive committee and eieected Rev. Dr. Kkely permanent chairman and Mr. Miles M. Shann permanent secretary. A committee of five, consisting of the chairman of the executive committee; Messrs. Robert H. Martin, Samuel M. Yeatman, Miles M. Shann and Rev. H. T. Stevenson, was appointed to prepare a plan for the arrangements for the meet- ing of the convention, to decide what com- mittees shall be appointed, and to suggest to the executive committee who shall com- pose them, and, in fact, to map out the whole plan of operations. Revs. Dr. Meador and W. S. 0. Thomas, with Dr. D. 3. Foster, were appointed a committee to take into consideration the plan of meting, and both committees will report at the next meeting of the execu- tive committee, which is to be neld in Cal- vary Church on next Monday night. Some Prominent Delegates. There are usually about one thousand delegates to the Southern Baptist conven- tion, but this year the number is likely to exceed those figures. A new departure is to be made in the manner ef entertaining this great throng. Heretofore the delegates have been the guests of the members of the Baptist churches in the city where the convention met, but in the future each del- egate is expected to pay his own expenses of board and lodging. Among the many prominent men who have been selected as delegates and are ex- pected to att the convention are Jon- athan Ha: Selma, Ala.; ex-Gov. Wil- liam J. n, LL. D., Atlanta, Ga.; Charles L.

Something About the Asseciatioa. ‘The Southern Baptist convention was or- ganized during May, 1845, as the result of differences in regard to church government and polity with their northern brethren. It then had a constituency of 450,000, which has been increased to nearly 3,000,000 at the esent time.

The people here think that the old pump house should not be allowed to lie useless. Ever since the foree that sends water through Gecrgetown began to be derived through the U street station, over a year ago, the machinery has been silent and a watchman has been in charge. The house occupies a large site adjoining the police station, and could be conveniently used to satisfy many needs. The citizens sug- gest to the Commissioners that it be used after a few alterations have been made as an emergency hospital, which is much needed, or as a drill hall for the police, who now maneuver in the streets. As the present plan of supplying Georgetown with water is working apparently with success there is absolutely no need, the people say, of keeping this place up at an expense. The old police station on the canal, which was vacant for so long a time, has been rented by the Commissioners for a fair consideration. Suffering Among the Boatmen. Among the canal families who have been tied up for the winter. through the shut- ting down ot trade, there is reported to be considerable want, Not only is food badly needed, but also fuel. As the old boats they occupy were net built for comfort, and are now hemmed in with ice, the need is more apparent. ‘The condition of the weather prevents the gathering of desir- able scrap wood. As boatmen with their wives and families are not particular about having a quantity of clothes in the sumn- me?, it is readily seen that they paid no attention to the laying in of winter gar- ments. Yesterday on some of the boats above the Aqueduct. bridge children were seen in the cabins in their bare feet, and women with only apologies for shoes. A Pastor Remembered. Rev. Dr. Alexander at the West Street Presbyterian Church yesterday morning thanked his people for a handsome gift which they had presented to him during the holiday season. He did not mention what it was, but his language was inter- preted by strangers present as not alto- gether metaphorical when he sald it was a “golden link” which would bind pastor and people more closely together. ‘The congregation, understanding that their pastor would like to obtain a grapho- phone to enable him to save time in com- posing his discourse, determined to aid him in this direction. Cycle Club Officers. The captaincy and lieutenancy of the West Washington Club, made vacant through the resignations of Messrs. Walter E. Birch and Harry O. Houghton, have been filled by the election of Messrs. J. E. Hanger, jr., and James T. Clements, jr. The cyclists are making preparations for a fair to be held in Semirary Hall here next month. ‘The committee in charge of the arrange- megts is composed of G. P. Lowe, E. 5. Darby, J. T.

The funeral service of Alfred Ray took place this forenoon at his home, Forest Glen, Md. the Rev. Mr. Flournoy of Bethesda and Rev. R. M. Moore of Ken- sington officiating. The pall-bearers were Messrs. Enos, William, Charles and John Ray and Frank R. and Enos M. Keyes, his six nephews. His remains were placed in @ vault at Rock Creek Church cemetery, later to be interred at that place; a stone’s throw from the spot where he was born and brought up. Mr. Ray was a prominent resident of Montgomery county, Maryland, where he has been residing since the year 183, pre- vious to which time he was a well-known resident of the District of Columbia. He graduated at Columbian Preparatory Uni- versity when Dr. Samson was president of that institution. After he became of age his father, the late Enos Ray, purchased and gave him what is now known as the Ruppert farm on Brightwood avenue, ad- joining the Saul greenhouses and nurseries. In Pierce’s administration he was assessor and tax collector of the District of Colum- bia. Just previous to the war he raised, drilled and was made captain of a cavalry company of home guards. Though a farm- er he branched into road building, and was considered a natural born engineer of roads. The Columbia rcad, from the Little place to 14th street, was his maiden effort in this direction. His large estate in Montgomery county, Maryland, known as the Highlands, has often been considered one of the model farms of the state. He became, in 1871, a railroad builder, when the Baltimore and Ohio ran its Metropolitan branch through his farm. Without previous experience he graded several miles of roadbed and con- structed all the bridges and culverts from Washington to Pcint of Rocks, including the four-span bridge resting on five stone piers seventy feet high over Rock creek. Several years later he constructed the double track addition to the railroad stone bridge crossing the Patapsco at Relay House. His last railroad work was exe- cuted during the past fall, when he person- ally superintended the staking off the route of the Kensington extension of the Chevy Chase Electric Railway, of which he was president. This road runs through the west portion of his estate. He was the pioneer in the shipping of wholesale supplies of milk to Washington on the Metropolitan branch, keeping at one time seventy-five cows. In politics he was a conservative democrat. He was a devout Methodist in religion. He leaves a widow, four daughters (Mrs, Lewis B. Thomson, Mrs. J. Franklin Wilson, Miss Elma and Eleanor) and five grown sons (Anthony, Alfred, jr., Bentun, Gorden and F. Preston B. Ray), all of whom were present at the funeral except Mr. Benton Ray, who is in Mitchell county, Texas. 2 ——— Truesdell, Spector & Co., 307-309 West 24th street, New York, have assigned, with Mabilities about CEOS assets mors.
