Yesterday marked the beginning of the twenty-eighth year in the history of the Certral Presbyterian” Church, and on this anniversary occat‘on special services were held and a large congregation came to- gether. In the morning an appropriate ser- mcn was delivered by the pastor, Rev. A. W. Pitzer, D.D., and in the afternoon there were exercises for the pupils of the Sunday school. It has Been the custom of this church to give to each scholar on anniversary Sunday a souvenir in the form of a hand- some book, but this year, on account of the prevailing distress among the poor, it was decided that instead of receiving the members of the school should contribute something for the relief of the needy. Quite a large amount of provisions and elething was brought in, which will be distributed by a committee of the church. A financial statement made to the con- gregation showed that while ten years ago, chen the new edifice was erected, there was a floating indebtedness of $6,060 and a mortgage on the property fur a similar sum, the entire floating debt had been liquidated and the amount of the bonded debt reduced by $3,500, leaving a balance of $2.500 té be provided for. ‘This had been berrowed on very advantageous terms and the trustees expected soon to see the church free of all incumbrance. For the text for his anniversary sermon Dr. Pitzer selected the passage from IL Timothy, 4:2, “I have kept the faith.” He spoke of the marvelous changes which taken place since he assumed his pas- ate in th® city; changes in municipal, governmental and religious {ideas und methods, yet, nevertheless, his church had not wavered, but remained firmly es- tablished and grounded in truth and ortho- doxy. The doctor calied the attention of his congregaticn to the length of his pas- toral relations with them—twenty-seven years—and mentioned the names of sev- eral other city pastors who had served their people for longer terms, some of them even for forty years. When he first came to Washington the southern states were conquered territories, under control of war governors, where cr- der was preserved at ihe bayonet’s point. He had seen the country rehabilitated, slavery prohibited and the Union preserved. He sketched rapidly the significance of three remarkable religious conferences that had occurred here within a quarter of a century—the World's Evangelical Alliance, | the Methodist ecumenical council and the | Presbyterian general assembly. Speaking of the notable change in the methods of carrying on religious work, he rejoiced in the prominence given laymen and said the world would never be evangelized by the ordained ministry alone. “Mr. Moody was never ordained by human hands,” exclaim- ed the speaker,”"yet would to God there were ten thousand Moodys!” He also noted the advancing position women were assuming in religious work, and paid a high tribute to their increasing usefulness, stating, in- cidentally, that to the influence and efforts of two godly women the church of which he was pastor owed its existence. “Is this faith I preach,” asked the speak- er, “able to meet the problems of the day? Can it grapple with the questions of anar- chy, disquieted social conditions, increasing tendency toward lawlessness? There is well nigh unlimited power in the falls of Niagara, yet western New York will not be supplied with light and electricity until connection is made with the turbine wheel in the rapids. Just so the Gospel is power- ful to solve the perplexing problems of life, but the man must lay hold on tt, the prop- er connection must be maintained between Christ and the sinner. Faith will never die out or Icse its power or become obsolvie. It is alive today, and this body of dogmati- eal truth will accomplish all God ever in- tended it should; it shall not return to Him void; God is behind it and in it and His Word shall abide forever.” It is something, said the speaker, for a church to say in these days of unbelief and misbelief and violent attack upon the in- tegrity of the Scriptures that it has kept the faith. He called on his congregation not only to keep, but also to propaga't the faith; and concluded ‘I am not ask’ for large numbers, wealthy parishioner: re fluential attendants; give me rath 1e few who hold fast to the integrity o * 3 Werd, who can withstand the viol : saults of criticism of the body o truth and say, ‘I have kept the fz ——._—- WORK OF THIEVES. Many Successful Raids on Property Reported Lately. Friday night thieves forced open the cash box of car 2% in the Metropolitan street car stables, on 7th street extended, and stole $2.90 in cash and $10 worth of car tickets. ‘The house of Mrs. James A. Williams, No. 744 Sth street northwest, was entered by burglars Friday night. An entrance was effected by cutting slats from the rear window, but the burglars were not well paid for their trouble, for they got less than one dollar. At an early hour yesterday morning burglars visited the New Jersey avenue freight yard and robbed one of the cars of the Baltimore and Potomac Company. Just what the burglars took is not yet known, as the car was filled with merchan- dise. Sadie Hurst, living at 406 13th street | northwest, has reported to the police the theft of a pair of solitaire diamond ear- rings. Mrs. Annie Lockwood, No. 916 14th street, reports the larceny of $30 in English coins. arney Levis’ show window, in George- town, was smashed Saturday night and a pair of shoes stolen. Simon Rosenthal complains of the theft of a pair of shoes. They were takén from in front of his store. Heary S. Ryan's house, 911 Delaware | avenue, was entered Saturday by a sneak thief, who stole an overcoat. © black cloth coats were reported stolen. One of them belonged to Miss sia Turnbull of %i3 G street and the other belonged to Mrs. Pina Dorsey of No. 2100 lith street. — Naval Movements.

ONLY 9 OF 22 PASSENGERS SAVED The First Clerk of the Boat Has Become Insane. INCIDENTS OF THE WRECK ST. LOUIS, January 21.—A special to the Republic from Hawesville, Ky., gives a story of the sinking of the steamer State ef Missouri and places the loss of life at not less than forty. The writer of the dis- patch visited the scene of the wreck, thirty-five miles from Hawesville, and re- ports that there were twenty-two pussen- gers and a crew of seventy-eight on board. Of these thirteen passengers and nearly half the crew, principally negro roust- abouts, were reported drowned. Cc. C. Whitehead, an »Id river pilot, was on board, and to the correspondent said: “Out of twenty-two passengers only nine were saved. Among these were a young married couple from Louisville. The hus- band swam ashore with his wife and they were saved. A man and wife frem Phila- delphia escaped, but the man lost his cloth- ing and $4,000. “Mr. Bush from Barros Point, Ark., was tay room mate. He had thirty-five mules cn board, which he was taking to his plan- tation. He was drowned and so were all his mules. “Second Clerk Charles Howard of Pa- ducah, Ky., was saved, and also Capt. Copeler; but the rescued passengers scored him bitterly for not attempting to save the boat. There was a passenger en route to Cairo injured. Pell and son were the pilo' and both were saved. The young man was at the wheel. “One of the engineers was saved. The mate of the steamer, by fighting drowning men with an oar, managed to save every woman in the boat. “Two minutes before the accident Capt. Copeler was in the pilot house und re- murked to the pilot that the boat was cesy to steer and that the work was easy. I went to the next deck, and then a cloud of steam enveloped everything by the burst- ing of steam pipes, and the yelling of peo- ple caused terror everywhere. If there was a command given by anybody 1 did not hear it. One lady, named Ong, from Phila- delphia, got ashore by clinging to a negro’s back. 1 found when I got to shore a negro hanging to a willow bush by his teeth, dead. He had struggled long in the water and died just when he was about to be saved.”" The first clerk of the boat is now at Al- ten, Ind., insane. He was one of the few in the boat who seemed to try to do nothing and was fo.nd half buried in the mud on the Indiana shore below the wreck. He sam clear across the river. It is thought that his reason will never return. A woman named Tomkins of Marietta, Ohio, was found at a Kentucky farm house unconscious, but she will revover. As the rear end of the boat went down the forscastle caught fire, and for two minutes lighted up the whole country, but the boat soon settled to the bottom, and the struggling people were left in utter darkness. ‘The Louisville and Evansville packet City of Owensboro came along soon @fierward and picked up passengers, and did every- thing possible for them. It is the only great Ohio river disaster since the Rein- deer’s boilers exploded, killing 200 people. ————— EPITHETS FOR FAURE. Nicknames Applied to the New French President. LONDON, January 21—The Paris cor- respondent of the Times telegraphs that an evening newspaper of the French capital has collected and reprinted a number of the epithets already heaped upon the new pres- ident of the French republic, M. Felix Faure, by the radical and socialist organs as a rule, although a few of them were culled from the pages of royalist papers. In view of the fact that the fall of the Depuy cabinet and the subsequent resigna- tion of President Casimir-Perier were caused indirectly by an insulting article written in the Chomard by M. Gerault Richard, for which he was sentenced to a year’s imprisonment, fined and later elect- ed a member of the chamber of deputies, the list of epithets is significant. ‘The Times’ correspondent says that the list of names bestowed upon the new chief ma, istrate “defies translation” and adds, append it in the original French, simply mentioning that the last four nicknames are due to the fact that his son-in-law is the administrator of the Congo Free State. Here follow a few of the names bestowed upon President Faure: “Reactionnaire elu des monarchistes, des rallies et des clericaux” (reactionist, elected of the monarchists, the railieds and the clericals). “Prisonnier de la reaction” (prisoner of the perty of reaction). “Coadjuteus de Leon XIII” (coadjutor of Pope Leo XIII). creature du Vatican” Vatican). “Marechal des logis du Prince Victor ou du Jeune D’Orleans.” (A “marechal des logis” is a sergeant in a calvary corps, the title translated literally meaning ‘“mar- shal of the houses.” This epithet would thus be equivalent to “marshal of the houses of Prince Victor Napoleon or of young Orleans.”) “Suspect elu de la gamelle subalterne” (suspect-elect of the subaltern mess). “Pauvre sire” (equivalent to “poor, un- fortunate individual’). “Figurant” (figurant). “La doublure de Dupuy” (the substitute of Dupuy). “Ce pauvre Felix” (that poor Felix). “Manniquin” (mannikin). “Manniquin saugrenu” (absurd mannikin). “Hurluberlu surprenant” (astonishingly giddy fellow). “Pantin” (dancing jack). “Soliveau surprenant” (astonishingly stu- pid fellow “Grotesque” (grotesque). ‘ietre’’ (shabby fellow). “Instrument ridicule” (ridiculous instru- ment). “Bonhomme dindon orguilleaux” (good man, proud turkey cock). etit Mercanti” (little shopkeeper). ercanti du Congo” (little shopkeeper of (creature of the the Congo). “President du Congo” (president of the Congo). “Faure the Congolais’” (Faure the Con- golez). The Times, commenting on the foregoing list of nicknames this morning, says: “The purpose”of the scurrilous epithets is to discredit authcrity of every kind. The unbridled licerse of abuse and the universal spirit of suspicion conspicuous in French public life constitute a serious dan- ger not only to France, but to Europe at large.” ae SNOW THIRTY FEET DEEP. A Storm Raging in the Mogntains of California, SACRAM 0, Cal, January 21.—An- other storm is raging in the mountains, and, although there is more snow on the ground than there has been for five years, it is rapidly growing deeper. ‘The storm began yesterdzy morning and has continued, without abatement, all day. The wind is howling through the moun- tains nnd the snow is falling thick and faster than at any time during the past twenty-four hours. Owing to the violence of the storm and the possibility of a tieup, no more freight will be moved until the storm abates. Passenger trains will be kept moving as up long es possible. The saow is banke de the track in places nearly th and the rotary plows are begi rk with difficulty in these places. flundreds of men are employed in shovel- ing the snow so as to widen the 5: he- tween the banks. As it is now the snow scrapes the sides of the cars, and as the plows cannot work to advantage, the shov- elers work in tiers, grading the banks. ‘The storm on the Sheets division is equal to, if not greater, than that on the Truckee division. A number of enormous slides have occurred between Dunsmir and Sisson, and, although it is hoped ‘the track will be cleared in time to allow the southbound Oregon express, now held at the latter place, to proceed on its way today, it is by no means certain that it will be able to do so. North of Dunsmir there is an enormous slide. A number of engines coupled to- gether take a flying start of about half a mile at this bank of snow and are slowly forcing it off the track. If there are no more big slides or: drifts all obstructions will be removed by:morning and the train; will be able to go through, but as it is still snowing heavily between Sisson and Duns- mir, more slides are likely to occur. ania JUDGE HENDERSON. A Successor for Judge John Vinson Has Been Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, M@., January 21.— Gov. Brown has aunounced the appeintrent of Mr. James B. Henderson of this place as associate judge in the sixth judicial cir- cuit, which comprises Montgomery and Frederick counties. He succeeds Judge Vinson, whose term expired a week ago. For some time the fight for the appoint- ment kas raged bitterly, the candidates be- ing Siate Serator Talbott, Mr. Thomas Anderson and Mr. Henderson. This ap- pointment will last until next fall, when an election will take place for the full ternt. Mr.. Herderson, it is thought, will be a candidate for the democratic norvination, although it is thought to be hardly prob- able that he will be given the nomination without a struggle. The new judge fs a native of Montgomery county, and is Zorty- rine years of age. For a number of years he was a teacher in the public_schoois, and afterward studied law with the late George Peter. He has practiced his pro- fession at Berkeley Springs, W. Va., and at Rockville. He was appointed state’s at- torney in 1879 to fill out an unexpired term, ond in the same year was elected for a full term. He is a director of the Montgomery County Bank, a trustes of the Rockville Academy, ard has for many years been idengified with many of Montgomery ccunty’s business enterprises. At the opening of the January term of the circuit court today at Rockville a pa- per was read expressing the sentiments of the bar_on the retirement of Associate Judge Vinson. It was presented to the court by Mr. Thomas Anderson, and stated that at the meeting of the members of the bar of Montgomery county held on the 15th of January a minute was adopted ex- pressing the regret of the members of the bur at the retirement cf Judg> Vinson through the constitutional limitation of eve, and expressing thair strong apprecia- tion of his services as a judge. —_——_—_ CASE OF THE DRAYTONS. The Wife Desires to Put in Newly Discovered Evidence. TRENTON, N. J., January 21.—Mrs. J. Coleman Drayton’s counsel, R. V. Lind- bury of Elizabeth, has filed an affidavit in the court of chancery setting forth that he has been notified by counsel of J. Coleman Drayton that the taking of testi-4 mony in the latter's suit against his wife fer divorce would be begun before a mas- ter in chancery on the 28th, and further seys in the affidavit that because of Mrs. Drayton’s absence in Europe he has not heen able to have a personal interview with his client, but asserts that since filing Mrs. Drayton’s answer to her husband’s petition he has discovered new grounds of defense in addition to those made in the answer, and asks leave to file a special plea or an amended answer. On this affidavit Vice Chancellor Green has granted a rule compelling counsel for Mr. Drayton to show ‘cause at the chan- cery chambers, Newark, on the 20th day of this month why such’ permission should not be granted. ‘The affidavit does not state the nature of the alleged newly discovered evidence. ‘The taking of testimony on next Monday has been stayed in the meantime. — SURRENDERED TUE PALACE. Ex-President Casimir-Perier Yields Up the Executive Mansio! PARIS, January 21.—Ex-President Casl- mir-Perier formally vacated his apartments in the Elysse palace at 11 o'clock today. By order of President Faure military hon- ors Were rendered to the ex-president. As he appeared in the court yard the drum corps rolled out a salute and the guard of honor presented arms. All the members of the ex-president’s civil and imilitary households assembled to bid him good-bye. He was dressed in a black frock coat, and it, was noticed that he did’ not wear the ribbon of the Legion of Honor. With his wife, who was attired in a dark costume, the ex-president entered a landau drawn by two horses and drove to his private res- idence. Only a small crowd of people wit- nessed his departure, but nearly all cf those present uncovered their heads as M. Casimir-Perier drove away, a cour- tes which he acknowledged quietly by bowing. President Faure lunched at the Elysse palace for the first time today. He will take up his official residence there perma- rently tomorrow. aged HARVESTING THE ICE. Quantities Still Left in New York Ponds and Rivers, PORT JERVIS, N. Y., January 21.—Most of the ice crop was harvested in this sec- tion before the thaw of last week raised the rivers and carried out a large part of the ice. There is a large amount left in the lakes. ‘The Erie Railroad Company laid in several thousand tons of fourteen-inch ice, enough to supply the eastern and Delaware di- visions. ‘The Monticello Railroad Company is laying in seventeen-inch ice at its house in Monticello, and the Ontario and West- ern is filling its immense ice houses from Brown's pond, between Fallsburg and Hurleyville, ‘with sixteen-inch ice. The Swift Beef Company has two big ice houses here, and is getting ice at the rate of 500 tons a day from the Hartwood Park pond. The ice is twenty inches thick, and con- sidered the finest in Sullivan county. All the ice houses of summer hotels and of the villages and towns hereabouts are supplied, with enough left in the lakes and ponds gf Orange and Sullivan counties and Pike county, Pa., to supply the entire state. ——_—_ TWO AMERICANS MURDERED. Killed for the Sake of Their Horses in Guatemala. CITY OF MEXICO, January 21.—Report comes from Tehuantepec that Col. Dunn and Thomas Murphy have been murdered in Guatemala, while en route for the line of the Guatemala Northern railway, whith- er they were taking 100 mules purchased in this republic to work on the construction of that railroad, There is little doubt that the outrage was committed by renegades along the border for the purpose of getting better mounts for use in the threatened conflict between Mexico and Guatemala. ‘The murdered men were Americans, for- merly connected with the Tehuantepec Railway Construction Company. An inves tigation will be demanded by the Am cans in Mexico and Guatemala. —_—— Smallpox Reports, Late Saturday night there was a patient to the smallpox hospita!. He is a sn-year-old eelored boy named John Ramsey, who lives at 1227 16th street northwest The boy attended school in the Magruder building on M street between 16th ard 1ith streets. He was at school all day Friday and it is feared that he infect- ed some of the other scholars. His mother went to the hospital with him to nurse him. As soon asx it was ascertained that the boy had smallpox Health Officer Woodward gave orders for closing of the school, and the building has now been thorougaly fumigated. There was one suspected case reported today, but the physician who made ; port said afterward that the patient ably had the chic nted.

Every effort, however, was made to get as much as pos- sible in the hands of the charitable dis- tributing agencies, and if the total bulk of the ccntributions had not been sent on their beneficent errands it was due, not to any lack of energy, but to the almost Gver- whelming liberality of the citizens who at- tended The Star’s pound party. However, the work was promptly resum- ed this morning, and the numerous pound packages, which, by the accumulative pow- er of united public action, had grown into tors, were sent to the various agencies designated by the citizens’ central relief committee. It is expected that by this evening all that will remain of The Star pound party at headquarters will be the odor that pervades the room like unto the combined double concentrated essence of several grocery stores. Throughout the city, however, the memory of that striking expression of human sympathy and kindli- ness will continue for some time to lighten the burdens of poverty and to bring to homes made gloomy by misfortune sub- stantial aid and cheer. In Various Quarters: At the Central Union Mission today there Were many calls made for assistance, and @ great deal was done to relieve immedi- ate needs. The misunderstanding which existed on Saturday in regard to the ap- portionment of supplies by the relief com- mittee was cleared up and the mission is receiving materials from The Star’s pound party for distribution. At a meeting of the gentlemen appointed to dispose of the portion of Mr. John R. McLean's generous donation which was given to Georgetown, held last Saturday afternoon, the following division was made: To the Associated Charities, $600; to the police department, seventh precinct, $600 Mr. B. T. Janney, for purchase of shoes and stockings for children, $300. The Italian Benevolent Society of «his city, at its meeting yesterday, donated $50 to the poor of the district and $60 to the sufferers from the recent earthquakes in Italy, through Baron Fava, the Italian am- bassador in this city. The people of Anacostia propose to tive a pound party on Wednesday for the bene- fit of the poor of the District. This char- itable enterpris2 will be participated in not only by the residents of Anacostia, but by those living in the surrounding country. The pounds can be left at the post office, from which point they will be collected and started on their journey of distribution. Contributions continued to come in to ‘The Star's pound party after the day which had been fixed for that event. A number of contributions have beer received. The employes of Moses & Sons sent thirty-one bushels of potatoes, and the employes of the interstate commerce commission sent eighty sacks of flour. The Star's Pound Party. Wash. Cor. Baltimore Sun: Nearly half the people of Washington must have atterded a pound party the Evening Star of this city gave Friday for the benefit of the pcor, if results are a measure of attendance. Considerable over 100,000 pounds of provisions were con- tributed, including ten tons of potatoes and an equal quantity of flour. A | number of pounds were in the shape of pennies. The outpouring of residents anxious ‘to re- Neve the sufferings of the unfortunate were astonishing. Many contributors sent donations far in excess of a single pound and extra accommodations had to be pro- vided, as the amount received was un- precedented. ———————— TOO ZEALOUS STRIKERS, Threw Bricks at a Workmen to Per- sunde Him to Quit. HAVERHILL, Mass., January 21.—Four cnthusiastic strikers, named Max Milier, Samuel Rosen, Jacob Ratter and Simon Lorden, were arrested on the charge of intimidating Lewis Steigler, a non-union workman employed at Chick Bros.’ factory, last night. Steigler claims that the four men under arrest threw bricks and other missiles at his house, one going through the window, striking a baby which was sitting on its mother’s lap. He also claimed that the men called him names and tried to intini- date him from going back to work on Mon- day. It is stated that warrants are out for two other strikers for threatening bodily harm to one of Winchell’s employes if he goes to work today. The shoe council held a protracted secret meting yesterday and made errangements for a mouster mass- meeting ard purade for Tuesday.

CUMBERLAND, Md., January 21.—The circuit court convened this morning, with Judge Hoffman upon the bench. As soon as court was called to order Daisy Mason, against whom an indictment has been found charging her with manslaughter, was brought in. The crime for which she is betng tried is described as follows: Mrs. Dunlap was the proprietress of a disrepu- table house on North Mechanic _ street. Daisy Mason was an inmate.

In act- ing out the doom that overtook Richard HII, the preacher fell on the stage just as Keene and Warde did. — Losses by Fire.
