Martin occupied the Dumbarton pulpit in the morning, in the place of Dr. Stitt, who ts lying ill, and Rev. J. T. Knott of Keyser, W. Va., spoke from it at night. Both are representatives to the Southern Methodist conference. Rev. Mr. Knott spoke on “Faith—We Walk by Faith, Not By Light.” He proved a bril- liant talker. Both ministers made allusions to Mr. Stitt’s fliness and offered up prayer for his speedy recovery. Yesterday morning Mr. Stitt’s condition was very low, but as the day wore on he rallied and at night was resting easily. Though by no means out of danger, Mr. Stitt’s daugh- ter, who is Mrs. Keedy, the wife of the mayor of Hagerstown, has been obliged to leave her father owing to urgent home calls. Mr. Fred. Stitt, the minister's son, a student at Dickinson College, has also been obliged to leave his father owing to the coming on of the examinations. The Brush Burned. A great ravine full of dry brush and in- flammable refuse matter caught fire early last night, just off the Arlington reserva- tion, and for hours burned. steadily and brilliantly. The Virginia hills for a long distance were made visible in the night from this place. Crowds came over from Washington expecting to see a conflagra- tion enguling dwellings and valuable prop- erty. The flame’s food was stuff that had been cleared from the government property. For months it had remained undisturbed. Some passerby either through intent or ac- cident, in all probability, dropped a lighted match in the brush. The flames licked the ‘tmmediaie section bare. age resulted, though. Cards Out.

Joseph Wildman, who gives his residence as 510 B street northeast, met with a se- rious accident Saturday night after he had apparently indulged in too much spirits. He fell down two flights of stairs in the building corner of 7th and G streets and broke his nose in addition to sustaining several cuts and bruises about the body. His lower lip was also cut.

Dora Seaton, a fifteen-year-old orphan child, who has been living with a family near Bethes was in the Police Court to- day because the police had picked her up for safe keeping. Seven years ago Dora was taken from the Industrial Home School and given a good home in Mr. Bak- er’s family, but the girl came here as she was tired of living in the country. Now she would like to return, but Mr. Baker does not want her. Judge Miller turned her over to the board of children’s guar- dians and she will be given another home. —_———__ Butter Prices That Win Trade. 5-Ib. boxes finest creamery butter, $1.35. D. Wm.

The Baltimore conference of the M. E. Church South assembled at the usual morn- ing hour today at Mt. Vernon Church and entered on the sixth day of the annual ses- sion. After the morning devotions applica- tions for admission to the traveling connec- tion were taken up and the following ad- mitted: J. J. Ringer, George Harrison Echols, M. Preston Wiehle, J. B. Henry, C. T. Jones, C. D. Bulla, H. H. Sherman, C. L. Potter, C. F. Moore, each candidate be- ing considered separately and voted upon after recommendation of the presiding eld- ers and the board of conference relations. Missionary Report. The missionary report for the conference was read by Rev. J. E. Alexander, secre- tary of the beard of missions. This report showed a grand total of $15,967 raised by all the churches tor foreign and domestic mis- ions during the past year, of which $10,- 62 were for foreign missions, and $5,606 were for domestic missions. ‘Ihe amounts essessed for these items at the beginning of the year. were $14,500 for foreign and $8,045 for domestic missions. The compari- son of the assessments and payments for missionary purposes in this and the pre- vious year shows e@ net decrease of $512, while the payments are $7,473 less than the assessmenis. But two districts in the con- ference show a net increase of payments on this account—Washington and Rockingham. The statement of disbursements mestic missions shows that in no the amounts allowed the c been paid in full. For beneficiaries the aggregate shcrtage due by allowance amounts to $%,G82. Among special contri- butions it was shown that Mt. Vernon Church, through its Young Men's Christian Society and Christian Endeavor Society and other organizations, gave $598 last year for various missions. Washington district gave $2,024 to foreign missions, the assessment being $2,201, and $1,022 to domestic mis- sions, the assessment} for this purpose being 1,414. ; On motion of Dr. Hyde the conference will, tomorrow, take up the choice of a place for holding the next year’s confer- ence. . Memorial Hour. The conference, at 10 a.m., reached the special order, which was to present me- mortals in honor of those of the clerical membership who had died during the past year. The congregation sang with fine old-fashioned Methodist cadence the hymn “Oh, Come, Let Us Join Our Friends Above Who Have Obtained the Prize.” Rev. A. P. Bonde then led fervently in prayer. For the first time since the conference opened the great congregation became quiet and attentive, and the merry visiting going on in the rear of the church was given up by the brethren and sisters who find pleasant epportunity at the annual conferences to see old friends. Papers biographical and commemorative of the dead were read by various members, and the services were interspersed with grand old hymns. Rev. T. C. Griffiths pre- sented a tribute to the Rev. Dr. Daniel Thomas: Rev. J. E. Armstrong read a pa- per on the Rev. Dr. Samuel Rogers of Baltimore; Rev. C. E. Hawley told of the life and work of Rev. John“W. Wolfe; Rev. J. T. Williams presented a biography of Rev. Dr. W. K. Boyle of Bladensburg, for- merly editor of the Episcopal Methodist, and for several years a_superannuated member of the conference; Rev. W. L. Dol- ly described the long life and service of Rev. M. G. Balthiss; Rey. L. G. Porter spoxe of Rev. Silas R. Snapp, and Rev. J. H. Light read a paper by Rev. Mr. Hawley on the life of Rev. W. M. Long. A number of speeches were made in trib- vte to the clergymen who had passed from the number of the conference. Among them Rev. Nelson Head spoke feelingly of the high character and attainments of Dr. Thomas; Rev. P. H. Whisner and Rev. W. E. Miller told how strong and useful was the lifework of Dr. Rogers; Rev. J. E. Armstrong spoke of his association with Dr. Boyle, and Presiding Elder Hutchin- son told of his association in the army and the ministry with Rev. Mr. Balthiss. Pre- siding Elders Gardner, Zimmerman, Bush and Dr. Cox spoke at some length of each of the brethren who had been taken away. Rev. G. T. Tyler spoke of the estimable qualities of ex-Congressman Patrick Ham- mill, a prominent layman of the church. Meeting Tonight. This evening at 8 o'clock will be held the regular missionary anniversary meeting. Rev. M. B. Chapman, Rev. John J. Figert and Rev. B. W. Waters of Japan will speak. ‘The conference decided not to try to ad- journ tomorrow night, owing to the amount of business yet before it, and will there- fore be in session until Wednesdayafter- noon, ——— HIGHWAY ROBBERY ATTEMPTED. Five Young Men Wish to Get Rich Suddenly. Saturday night about 9 o'clock five young white men who wanted to become wealthy made a desperate attempt to assault and rob Mr. R. A. Golden, the well-known fish and game dealer, and it was only because of the stout resistance of Mr. Golden that he was not relieved of a large sum of money and probably killed. The affair hap- pened in an alley between 10th and lithand E and F streets, in front of Mr. Golden’s stable. It was about 9 o’clock Saturday night when Mr. Golden entered the alley to put his team up for the night, and when he stepped from the vehicle his attention was directed to three men by the remark: “Your money or your life, and keep your mouth shut.” With this demand one of the men thrust a pistol in Mr. Golden’s face and he was dealt a severe blow on the head with the butt of the pistol. Realizing then that the men were in earn- est Mr. Golden drew his own revolver and started in pursuit of the one who had the pistol, but in attempting to draw his pistol the weapon caught in his clothing and Mr. Golden fell. This gave the fugitive a good start, and, although Mr. Golden fired one shot at him, he escaped. A colored man who had been attracted to the scere by Mr. Golden’s out- ery started in pursuit of the men, but be- came frightened when he heard the pistol ehot, and sought a place of safety. When the police were notified of the affair, and made the investigation, they ecncluded that the would-be highway rob- bers belonged in South Washington, and were well acquainted with the man they started to rob. Lieut. Vernon detailed Policemen Hughes end Bannagan to investigate the case, and they succeeded in arresting four young men, Charles Werden, David Adams, Wm. Werden and Robert Simmons, and locked them up on suspicion of having been im- plicated in the “hold-up.” ‘The officers alleged that these young men were near the alley Saturday night, and there was another companion with them, but he has not been caught. It is also al- leged that David Adams, one of the party, called at Mr. Golden’s office and askéd for him. ‘There are several witnesses to give evi- dence in the case, but the exact nature of what they will say will not be known until the case is tried. The four prisoners were taken to the Police Court this morning, where their counsel, A. A. Lipscomb, asked for a continuance, which was granted. ——— Charges Against ag Attorney. J. G. Bigelow filed Saturday with the Dis- trict Supreme Court a petition, which, it 1s said, made charges against John H. Adriaans, a young attorney, and asked that he be disbarred. The petition is stated to have been filed on behalf of former clients of Mr. Adriaans, named Ross, colored resi- dents of Anacostia and Hillsdale. The court will probably call the attention of Mr. Adriaans to the charges and ask for a statement from him. Meantime Mr. Adriaans states that he has been guilty of no unprofessional conduct. —— Dicd Suddenly.

Believed to Be Perpetrating Many Bold Robberies. ‘The bold and successful safe robbery this morning is only one of a series of daring robberies that have been committed here since the opening of the race track across the river, and the police think that the per- petrators of them are expert crooks who were attracted here and who make Alex- andria their headquarters. According to statements made by the police, there are a number of professional crooks in Alex- andria now. While making Alexandria their headquarters they attend the races in the day time, and the police are satis- fied that some of them operate here at night. Several successful housebreaking jobs have been done in the county, where the burglars succeeded in carrying off articles aggregating a considerable amount, and no trace of the property has ever been obtained. These robberies have been com- mitted under different circumstances, some of them being bold and daring, while oth- ers were committed during the absence from home of the occupants of the houses. Several houses in Mount Pleasant have suf- fered at the hands of these burglars, and only last week the house of Mr. S. W. Woodward, on Kalorama Heights, was vis- ited and robbed. : Saturday night one of the burglars visited Takoma Park and caused a lively scene in the house of Dr. Harrison M. Bennett. It was not later than 8 o'clock when the burglar was found in Dr. Bennett’s home, on Magnolia avenue. The members of the family were on the lower floor, and when the doctor went upstairs to ascertain the cause of a mysterious noise he found a burglar in one of the rooms; but the burg- lar had no explanation to offer. Instead of waiting, he jumped out the second-story window, through which he had entered, and escaped. The man was barefooted, but he picked up his shoes on his way out and left behind him his hat, which bears the name of a New York hatter. He-had to leave in such a hurry that he did not have time to take anything. Last night the residence of the Rev. J. G. Butler, No. 1107 11th street, was visited by one or more of these unwelcome visitors, and now the divine would like to find about $300 worth of missing property, including a number of gold rings with various set- tings and two pairs of opera glasses. Dr. Butler is pastor of the Luther Memorial Church, and it was not until he returned from church, about 9 o'clock, that he made the discovery. The thieves had effected an entrance by opening the door, probably using nippers on the lock. Once inside, the thieves had plenty of time to operate. Every bureau drawer was taken out and ransacked, the beds were overturned, but they only took away the jewelry’ and money—$40 belonging to a member of the family, and $10 missionary money,belonging to the church. They overlooked considerable solid silver wate. Nothing in the house was cut or damaged except that the bureau drawer in which the money had been se- creted was broken. It is generally supposed tha: this robbery was comimitted by an ex- pert, although the officers say it may have been committed by local crooks. All these robberies have been investigated by the detectives, but in none of them did the burglars leave a clue. This leads the officers to the belief that the crooks belong in some other jurisdic- tion and are shipping their plunder to some other city, as none of it has turned up in the second-hand stores or pawn shops, which would probably have been the case had local thieves committed the robberies. ——__ DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Sewer Ordered. The Commissioners have ordered that a sewer in Harvard street between 13th and 14th streets be added to the schedule of sewers to be built when Congress appro- priates funds sufficient, or under the per- mit System, at an estimated cost of $1,208. High Service System. An order has been issued that $40,000 be taken from the water fund for the purpose of continuing the extension of the high service system of water distribution, us provided for in the District appropriation act approved August 7, 1804. Assessment Begun. The triennial assessment of District property has been begun by the perma- nent board of tax assessors. The assess- ment starts with square 1 in old Wash- ington, bordering on Rock creek, and the work will proceed on the squares in regu- lar order. After the completion of Wash- ington proper West Washington will be assessed next, and then the county. Displaying Goods. In response to inquiry made by a busi- ness man as to whether there is any law against displaying goods and merchandise by hanging the same within four feet of the building line, the attorney for the Dis- trict has, at the request of the Commis- sicners, rendered the following opinion: “An ordinance of the late corporation of Washington of 1858 authorizes merchants to use the sidewalks for a distance of four feet from the building line In front of their stores for the display of their goods. The ordinance does not specify to what height that display may go, but I think the height is to be limited to the first story of the building in. front of which the display is made, since to display goods higher than the first story would obstruct the view of the second story of windows of adjoining premises and would therefore be an unrea- sonable use of the privilege.” Bad Condition. Health Officer Woodward reports to the Commissioners the foul and offensive con- dition of the catch basin at the mouth of alley in square 297. Inferfor Slate. It having appeared that the contractor for the slate work on the new Mount Pleas- ant school, George J. Fritsch, was using an inferior quality of slate on the roof, the Commissioners ordered an investigation last week. The result was that the con- tractor has been directed to remove the present slate roof and put on a new one which shall come up to the specifications of the contract. ——— Transfers of Real Estate.

The Constable Fired in Self-Defense— At the Hosgital It in Said Gard- ner May Live. The district’ about Rosslyn was greatly stirred yesterday afternoon through the shooting of W.) F, Gardner, colored, by Constable Richard Ress. The former was a prisoner at the time, on his way to the Alexandria county jail. When at a lonely point on the road he resisted the officer, broke away, and, it is alleged, ran into a near-by shanty, secured a butcher knife, and rushing at his captor made murderous lunges at him. At a critical moment Ross pulled his revolver and shot. The bullet struck the prisoner in the left breast be- low the heart. He fell in his tracks groan- ing. The shot attracted the attention of some neighboring people, and assistance came to Gardner. He was carried to one of the Arlington shanties. Some minutes later Jerry Smith drove by in a buggy and suggested that Gardner be t&ken to the Washington Emergency Hospital. On the way the man suffered greatly. At the hos- pital the wound was dressed, but the bul- let was not definitely located. Gardner was in such a condition that no particulars of the affair could be learned from him. Under Arrest. From various reports of the affair it seems that Gardner was drunk and disa- greeable. Meeting Justice of the Peace J. H. Lane on the road, Gardner claimed of him 50 cents. Lane denied that he owed any money, whereupon Gardner became. ugly, threatening, loud and boisterous. Thereupon Ross was called on to arrest the fellow. He was taken before ’Squire Reese, who fined him $1 and costs, or $2.70 in all. Gardner not having that amount, he was committed to jail. He showed, it !s alleged, resistance from the first. He swore he would not go to Alexandria, and gave Ross trouble right from the start. ‘The latter remained cool and put up with @ great deal of rough handling. Not until Gardner leaped at him savagely, with the threat that he would “rip his breast open,” did he resort to the extreme. It was to save his own life that the shot was fired. Ross did everything he could, it 1s sald, to relieve the man, and expressed much re- gret that he had been compelled to shoot. Ress has been placed under arrest, to await the outcome of the investigation. He has been a constable for about a year, and has been regarded as efficient and conservative. None of his actions have ever been rash. He is a married man, with a family. At the Hospital. At the Emergency Hospital a Star repor- ter was informed that the bullet, so far as could be learned, passed through the wall of the heart at the apex. Gardner was alive at a late hour this afternoon, and a member of the house staff stated that he has a fair chance tor recovery, although it would not be a surprise if the injured man died at any moment. —_—————_— A NEW CHURCH. Temporary Quarters for a Methodist Congyegation Occupied. A number of thcse interested in the new church enterprise to be known as the Dupont Circle Methodist Church attended the first services, which were held yester- day in the buitiing at the corner of 18th and Massachusetts avenue, formerly known as the Holy Cross Church. This building will be the church home of the new con- gregation until more permanent quarters can be secured. At the services yesterday morning there were present Bishop Hurst, Rev. Dr. Hugh Johnston, pastor of the Met- ropolitan M. E. Church, and Rev. Dr. D. E. Mallery of Boston. The music was ren- dered by a choir composed of the young ladies of the Mount Vernon Seminary, and the pulpit was tastefully adorned witha flowers. An address was delivered by Bishop Hurst, who spoke of the importance of locating a church of the Methodist de- nomination in that section of the city, and predicted that the movement would result in success. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. Johnston. After the services an informal meeting of those specially inter- ested in the movement was held, and plans were discussed. It was decided to issue a call inviting the co-operation of persons in that vicinity in this work. At the even- irg service the sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. Rudisill, a missionary from India. Services will be held each Sabbath, and next Sunday a Sunday school will be or- ganized. Mary F. Hartmann has sold to Milton Ruby for $14,000 lot 14 in square 111—twen- ty-five feet on Connecticut avenue between Q and R streets northwest. ee a ee Pure Blood Is the condition upon which good health is bestowed.
