Judge Cox yesterday signed a decree awarding Mrs. Mary Jane Bischoff a di- veree from Prof. John W. Bischoff, the well-known blind musician, who has for many years been the organist of the First Congregational Church. The attorneys in the case, and also the court, it is said, de- sired that thers might be no publicity in the matter, and hence the clerk of the court did not note the action of the court on the rough minutes, and not until late in the afternoon was the disposition of the case placed on the docket. The petition for divorce and alimony was filed by Mrs. Bischoff on the 2ith of last December, the papers in the case being withheld from publication. But, as here- tefore stated in The Star, Mrs. Bischoff charged her husband with desertion. The parties separated several years ago, be- cause, as was explained by friends, of an unfortunate incompatibility of temper. Prof. Bischoff allowed his wife from the time of their separation $30 a month, and also, it is said, an interest in certain prop- erty. Prof. Bischoff made no opposition to the divorce proceedings, and it is said that he really desired that his wife should be suc- cessful in her suit agairst him. As stated in The Star at the time, the case was sub- |* mitted to Judge Cox last month by Mrs. Bischoff’s counsel, A. A. Hoehling, on the testimony taken by Examiner Clephane, Mr. Hoehling contending that the parties were not precluded from steking a divorce under the agreement entered into by them } to separate. In awarding Mrs. Bischoff the divorce prayed for Judge Cox granted her alimony in the sum of $1,000 a year, to be paid monthly, and also directed that Prof. Bischoff pay the costs of the suit and an attorney’s fee of $100. ‘The parties, it is sald, were married some twenty-five years ago at Mount Carroll, Ill, Mrs. Bischoff being the daughter of Capt. Howard Vandersrift. They first met at Fond du Lac, Wis., where, it is under- stood, Mrs. Bischoff was teaching in an in- stitute for the blind. They have two grown children, a son and daughter, and the chil- Gren, it'is said, live with their father, at 810 10th street. Since separating from her husband Mrs. Bischoff sought to support herself by keeplag a boarding house, but it is understood that she has not been very successful. While residing with their father, the children are said to have always maintained dutiful relations with their mother. ee An Assault Case. Judge Miller today disposed of the case of John McCullough, the colored huckster who struck W. C. Dorsey, a 14th street grip- man, on the head with a stone some days ago. As heretofore printed in The Star, the trouble was caused by the boy kicking Dorsey’s dog, and ended by the throwing of the stone. The court imposed a fine of $10 or thirty days. _—— To Lecture at Linden. Mrs. Ruth G. D. Havens will deliver her lecture on “The Girl of the Future” at Linden, Md., tomorrow evening.

THE REPORT FROM PARIS PARIS, May 2—The Matin says that Japan Is treating with Russia, France and Germany, and that a peaceful settlement of the matters in dispute, arising from Rus- sa’s objections to the terms of the treaty arrived at between China and Japan, is probable. The Gaulois asserts that the three west- ern powers are about to achieve a diplo- matic victory, adding that Japan is in- clined to accept a territorial concession in another direction, which is agreeable to Russia, NEW YORK, May 2—A special to the World from Tokio, Japan, says: Japan must give her final answer to Russia by May 7. The suspense and public anxiety are ter- rible. Nothing is known; everything is dreaded. When mediation by the United States was being discussed last November by the authorities at Washington and Tokio, President Cleveland prophesied a league of European powers to deprive Japan of the fruits of victory. Thereafter the powers were carefully notified of the Japanese intentions. No opposition to them vas ever manifested. The blow was re- served until the treaty of peace had been signed. Viscount Mutzu, the minister of foreign affairs, and Premier Ito's colleague in the peace conference, is desperately Ill. A dispatch to the London Times from Pekin says: No decision has yet been reached in regard to the ratification cf the treaty of peace. Li Hung Chang, the senior Chinese peace envoy, has arrived in Pekin, and been given an audience cf the emperor, but what action was agreed upon, if any, is a court secret. No edict has yet been published concerning the result of the deliberations. The Cologne Gazette publishes a dispatch from St. Petersburg stating that there is every reason to belleve that the questions arising from the Chinese-Japanese treaty will be quickly and amicably settled, owing —_ to Germany's co-operation with Rus- sia. EYLER IS HELD. Police Would Like to Find the Mis: ing #1,000. John Eyler, the ex-marine, who confessed to have been implicated in the robbery of $1,650 from the home of Nicholas Holcer, No. 1212 4% street southwest, after being brought here yesterday from Westminster, Md., by Detectives Carter and Gallaher, as published in yesterday's Star, was locked up at the sixth precinct station last night, and this morning he, was taken to police headquarters, where he was measured. Then he was photographed for the rogues’ gallery and was taken to court, where he was committed in default of bail for a hearing. Detective Carter left here this morning and went to Frederick to follow up the in- vestigation and recover what money he can. Boon after his departure State’s At- torney Hichelberger arrived here with $300 of the money, and turned it over to Chief Clerk Sylvester. There were six $20 gold, pieces and nine $10 gold pieces, and the balance was in greenbacks. Of this money $26 had been deposited as collateral, and $100 had been recovered from his parents. He had given his moth- er and father each $100, and had said he won the money on the races, so that they suspected nothing wrong, and had spent $100 of the money. So far as the officers have been able to ascertain, Byler spent and gave away about $500 in Frederick, and perhaps $100 in other places. This amount includes the $200 left as collateral. Where the other money, about $1,000, is the police would like to know. If the pris- orer is to be believed the tramp “Eddy” has the money, but the police do not be- lieve this, nor do they believe that any tramp figured in the case. This money, they think, is secreted here in the city, and unless the parties who have it disappear they hope to recover it. The prisoner is now in jail, and will be given a hearing as soon as the officers finish the investigation. THE COURTS.

Johnson, a colored man, has reason to be thankful that he is alive and able to preach the Gospel to the residents of Freeman's alley, but Robert Williams does not deserve any of the thanks. Robert is a young colored man who is in love with Laura Pingree, but, unfortunately for him, the female lives in the house of the Rev. Johnson. The latter objected to his coming to the house, and it is sald that only a short time ago he took occasion to make the young man leave the house. This he repeated last night, and Robert concluded that a death in the minister's family was necessary to insure him true happiness; and he determined to cause the death with a pistol, and the only reason the minister is alive is the fact that Robert proved him- self a bad marksman. Rev. Johnson anticipated trouble after Williams had left the house, and he went out in the alley to remain on guard for a ‘short time. He had not been there very long before Williams appeared and fired two shots at him. Then the ighabitants of the alley turned out in full force, and Policeman Auldridge socn had the would- be murderer in custody. At the second precinct station the young man admitted the shooting, and said if he had gone in the alley from the other end he would have “burned” the preacher. This mofning the prisoner appeared in the Police Court, and Judge Miller held him in $1,000 security for the action of the grand jury. — She is Dend.

He Was Fined $10—Charged With Dis- orderly Conduct. The case of Dr. Edward Leon, charged with disorderly conduct and destroying pri- vate property in the lodging house of Mrs. Mary McCarthy, No. 461 Missouri avenue, as printed in yesterday's Star, was called for trial in Judge Kimball's court this morning. The doctor rents rooms from Mrs. McCarthy, and the latter wants to get rid of him. She told the court of the frequent disorders in the doctor's rooms, said the language used was ynfit to be re- peated, and told the court that a table and chairs had been demolished:! Several wit- nesses were examined, dnd thy told of the doétor’s guests remaining Idte at night, ing cards and drinking whisky. said Mrs. McCarthy, “1s to Pl “All I want, get rid of him.” “For non-payment of rent?” she was asked. ‘ “No, sir; he is willing’ to pay the rent, but I won't receive it.” The doctor admitted that he had visitors, and they drink and play cards late at night, but he denied oe there was any conduct calculated to distur}, anybody. “What is your occupation?” Mr. Pugh asked the defendant. “I am a doctor,” he answereth “What is your specialty?” “Secret diseases.” ‘Are you not an abortionist?” “No, sir.” “Is not that your reputation?” “Well, if you give any dog. a bad name it will stick to him, but that does not make him bed.” Counsel then questioned the defendant concerning his trial on charges of criminal malpractice, and it was stated that after his conviction on a charge of murder in the last case he was granted a new trial and released_on bail. “And I was tried and acquitted in 1875,” said the defendant. The defendant's witnesses, one a deaf man, who could not hear any disorder; an- other with defective eyesight and the third a cripple, are all friends of the defendant. A fourth witness called lives in the house, and usually gets in about 1 a.m. - Mrs. McCarthy wanted to withdraw the charges, but Mr. Pugh said for reasons best known to himself he insisted on hear- ing the case. He knew she wanted to get rid of him, and he had no objection to her doing so later on. In conclusicn, the pros- ecuting officer said he thought he had made out a case which should result in the im- Position of a heavy fine. Judge Kimball said that Mrs. McCarthy must have known the doctor's business, for he said he had known of it by reputa- tion for many years. The judge referred to the doctor's trial in 1875, and concluded that the case of disorderly conduct had been fully made out. So far as the de- struction of private property was concern- ed, he thought there was no malicious de- struction shown. A fine of $10 was imposed in the disorderly conduct case. ——.__ Woman's Auxiliary. At St. John’s P. E. Church yesterday the annual service of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Episcopal Church of the District was held. Holy communion was celebrated by Rev. Dr. Mackay Smith, assisted by Rev. Mr. Wood.

Three Policemen ‘Told by the Judge That They Made legal Arrests. Policemen P. J. Fingles, Owen Cooney and T. S. Wheeler appeared in the Police Court, before Judge Kimball, yesterday, and each of them had what he thought Was a case. But it took only a few min- utes for the court to determine that they had arrested their victims for no cause whatever, and in one case the court took occasion to make some remarks. In this case the defendants were two young men, named Grant L. Johnson and Charles T. Johnson, said to be cousins, and Policeman Fingles had given them the order, ‘Move on, or I'll run you in.” They were orderly and well-behaved, and saw no reason why they should obey the order, and they didn’t obey it. Then the policeman arrested them, and they had Attorney Andrew Lipscomb represent them in the court. It was only necessary to hear the state- ment of the policeman in order to deter- mine that he had blundered. The young men had attended the theater, and returned to the Cochran Hotel in a public vehicle. There was a dispute about’ the cab fare, which was settled, and the policeman ap- peared on the scene in time to hear the young men discussing the affair. He, how- ever, was not going to lose an opportunity to make an arrest if he could help it, and whan the young men did not become fright- ened and run at his command to “move on” he proceeded to arrest them. This brief story was told in court, and counsel cross-examined the officer. Judge Kimball informed the policeman that he should use proper discretion in making arrests, and this he had failed to do in this particular case. Policemen have not the rignt to tell a man or party of gen- tlemen to “move cn,” unless there is some good reason for it. The mere fact that two gentlemen stop on the sidewalk and engage in conversation is not sufficient justification for an order of this kind. Where there are disorderly crowds, and the sidewalk is ob- structed, it is the officer's duty to do it. There was nothing in this case to justify any such order from the officer, and the charge against them was dismissed. Mr. Lipscomb took occasion to compli- ment the older officers of the force, saying they were not continually doing such fooi- ish things. Some of the younger officers, he said, seem to have an idea that making a record in this way helps them, but, so far as he could ascertain, it does them no good. Judge Kimball said he thought it was Tore to an officer's credit when he can get along without making so many arrests than when they are constantly arresting eerone for mere trifling violations of the aw. Policeman Owen Cooney presented his al- leged case. His innocent victims, Mrs. Mar- garet Lewis and Emma Ford, were colored women, and the circumstances under which the arrest was made were peculiarly sad. Mrs. Lewis had buried one of her chil- dren yesterday, and when she met Mrs. Ford on the street the latter endeavored to speak a few words of consolation to her. The heart-broken mother could not help shed- ding some tears, and if she wept louder than the policeman thought she had a right to weep it was not her fault. Policeman Cooney now understands that grief-stricken mothers have a right to shed tears even on the public streets. Judge Kimball failed to see any reason for the ar- rest, and discharged the woman. A colored physictan named Richard Byrd had an unpleasant experience Tuesday night, and his arrest by Policeman Wheeler was adding insult to injury, as he supposed. He had been out driving in the evening, and on his way home an involuntary mo- tion of his body precipitated him to the sidewalk, but he did not remain there a sec- ond. This second the policeman thought was too long a time, and he actually charged the colored doctor with obstructing the sidewalk. Judge Kimbatl failed to understand where the obstruction came in, and discharged the doctor. — GETS THE COMMISSIO) Miss Florence McCall Wins Her Suit Against an Insurance Company. The jury in Criminal Court No. 2, now trying civil cases, this afternoon returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $375.02, in the suit brought by Miss Flor- ence McCall against the New York Life Insurance Company. Miss McCall sought to reéover $193.50, which, she claimed, was due her as commission for securing an in- surance policy on the life of Mr. Henry E. Davis, the well-known attorney. According to the plaintiff, an agreement was entered into between the New York Life Insurance Company and herself,where- by she was to receive 60 per cent on the amount of first premiums. Mr. Davis, it was said, wished to complete an insurance of $100,000 on his life by_placing* $50,000 with the New York Life Insurance Com- pany. The latter declined to issue # policy for so large an amount, but finally, through Miss McCall, as agent, allowed $25,000. As first premium on that'sum, Mr. Davis pald $1,160, and the plaintiff asked $418.50 as balance of commission due her on that payment. The local manager of the New York Life Insurance Company, Mr. Thomas D. Haddaway, opposed the suit, declaring that Miss McCall was not entitled to the com- mission on the ground that it was through his efforts that the pollcy was secured, the efforts of Miss McCall being only of a sec- ondary nature. Mr. Haddaway explained that the company at first refused to take the risk on the ground that a brother of Mr. Davis died of consumption, but the witness went to New York, and, after rep- resenting that it was of the utmost im- portance for the cempany to issue the pol- icy in order to outdo other companies, in- duced the executive board to overrule the medical board. It was claimed by Mr. Haddaway that a Mr. Fickling wrote the insurance and received the commission. After a number of witnesses had been examined the jury rendered the verdict mentiened. Mr. Davis stated to a Star reporter today that in his opinion Miss McCall was clearly entitled fo the com- mission, ST. MARK’S PARISH Vestry Recognized by the Rector Organized for Work. OTHER SIDE PREPARING ITS APPEAL Statement of the Case Made by the Committee. THE LETTER TO MR. GRAHAM — Pursuant to the notice which he gave ‘Tuesday evening at the close of his gpeech to the warring factions in the parish of St. Mark’s Church, Mr. Graham, the rec- tor, met the de facto*vestry of the parish last evening at the church and presided over a meeting to organize the vestry and proceed with the business of the church, The situation was discussed, and the opinion of each vestryman present was sought so that there might be a general agreenient upon the policy to be pursued. As a result of this review of the difficulty it seemed best to the rector and his cabinet to take no further action in regard to the contention in the church and await fur- ther development from the Torbert party. The rector holds the resignations of two of the de facto vestry, supposed to be Mr. Nicholson, who is a member of Waugh Chapel, and not a member of St. Mark’s, and Mr. Adam Gaddis, both of whom, real- izing the unfortunate situation in which they are placed, express the desire to with- draw. The rector, however, taking the ground that the resignations had been offered in order to make opportunity for compromise, holds them in abeyance and they will not be accepted, there being no need of such action in Mr. Graham's opinion. De Facto Vextry Committees. At the meeting last night J. B. Bennett was chosen delegate to the diocesan con- vention, which meets at Epiphany Church the last of this month, with J. Walter Cooksey as alternate. A committee on pews was appointed, consisting of R. J. Earnshaw and W. R. Hillyer; on auditing, E. K. Lundy, L. A. Wood and Adam Gad- dis; on business, J. B. Bennett, S. B. Roane and W. H. Mariow; music, S. B. Roane and W. 8. Nicholson, and ushers, R. J. Warn- shaw, C. B. Fonda and J. A. Heady. Gross receipts for the support of the parish dur- ing the year ending with Easter were re- ported to be $6,372.47, with an expenditure of about $6,000. The mission contributed for its own support $253.53, not receiving any support from the parish funds. The Torbert party will present its case to the diocesan convention, and no pains or labor, it is said, will be spared that will contribute to the completeness and ‘force of thelr statement. Affidavits covering all the points in controversy have been taken or are in process of preparatio: Counsel well versed in questions cf church polity and the special local peculiarities of the law will be brought into the case, and the convention will not be in the dark on the questions involved. In case the decision is against the contestants it is understood there will be no further appeal. The Other Side. Messrs. W. T. Kent, John Chew and Wm. R. Hillyer are members of the committee that has-represented the so-called Torbert party. This committee had a conference last night and arranged to carry its appeal to the diocesan convention. The commit- tee decided also to give out the letter it had drawn up and presented to Mr. Gra- ham, setting out their case, since, as they state, Mr. Graham, in his public statement, had referred to the letter and quoted a por- tion of it. The text of the letter is as fol- lows: “As notified to you by our letter of April 24, 1895, we were appointed a committee to wait upon you and inform you of the action taken at a meeting of a large num- ber of the stated worshipers in the parish church, and the reasons that impelled them to thataction. “The origin of the trouble that has cul- minated in the present discord in our parish occurred before your advent among us, and we therefore feel that in coming to you we come to an unprejudiced mind,. untrammeled by any personal wishes or desires beyond those looking to the wel- fare of the parish, the upholding of the laws of the state and of the church, in spirit as well as letter, and the maintaining of the integrity of our mother church. “Our parish, for nearly a quarter of a century, had established a reputation among its sister parishes as one in which harmony and peace dwelt; in which there was no bitterness nor strife.eBut this con- dition was abruptly terminated at the Easter election of 1894 by the injection of methods into that election entirely foreign to the practices that had hitherto pre- vailed by springing upon us unqualified voters, voting out some of our oldest and most efficient officers and electing in their stead persons not legally qualified for the position of honor and trust bestowed upon them. Our people were rudely shaken by this assault, but they submitted to the indignity, looking forward with hope to be able-at ‘the next election to right the wrong done them in thus placing illegally in power persons who did not represent the majority of our people—the stated wor- shipers—at our parish church. “Emboldened by the success of their scheme last year, and by the meekness with which the church people submitted, they again essayed to repeat in a bolder and more aggrieved form the tactics of the year before. Under these repeated assaults forbearance has ceased to be a virtue, and we have risen to claim our rights—and this is the issue, the only issue involved. We claim that the vestry organized April 24, of which Mr. Torbert is registrar, Mr. Mar- low treasurer and Mr. Chew lay delegate, was elected by a majority of the legally qualified voters of the parish present at the parish meeting of Easter Monday, 1805; that the vestry is the judge of the quali- fications of the voters we admit, but they are so under the law, and in so judging they must be governed by the law. They cannot detract from nor qualify the re- quirements established by the law so as to make any man a voter by their judgment, regardless of the provisions of the law. The insidious attempt made through the pub- lication of a circular immediately before the election to involve you and our loyalty to you in your work among us was un- worthy of persons professing ‘broad Chris- tian churchly principles.’ We know from our personal knowledge and intercourse with our people that you have no more Joyal and devoted parishioners, who are with you, not for the furtherance of any personal scheme or project, but for your work's sake, than those whom we repre- sent. “We deeply deplore the necessity that compelled us to take the step we have to preserve our rights—no other course was open to us as men and churchmen. For, once break down the barriers by which we are protected from the incursions of per- sons who have no abiding interest in our institutions, whose votes we believe were paid for, whose allegiance is due, not to our mother church, but if to any, to foreign bodies, and you threaten the temporal foundations of our church, upon which as a body politic it 1s built. And we are pre- pared to sustain these allegations by evi- dence. “We regret, also, that your absence from the city deprived us of your counsel and advice at this critieal period, but the limited time allowed by law for the posting of the required notice as to the amount of charges to be paid during the coming year forbade further postponemen*, nor was our action taken without legal advice and a re- view of the laws relating to our contention and the practices of other parishes in this District under these laws. “We have endeavored, heretofore, not to annoy you with or to unseemly thrust upon you an issue which we had hoped to have solved among ourselves, but we were defeated in this purpose, and we now pre- sent our case to you, asking that you give it the careful consideration that is due it ecming from so large and responsible a part of your parishioners. We claim to repre- sent, in number at least, seventy-five per cent of the stated worshipers, and in con- tributions fully eighty-five per cent. Our purish is incumbered by a large debt that will require hearty hands and hopeful hearts to carry. Is it best for the welfare of the parish that its work should be jeopardized by enervating those hands and shadowing those hearts? “Upon your action will largely depend whether the life blood of the parish, once so freely fiowing through its veius, carrying with it the warm pulsations of an active, busy life, but now almost stagnant from the shock it has received, will again ! charter seasons, and, FINANCIAL.

In the appointment of the committees by the Parkman vestry last night Messrs. Marlow, Hillyer and Wood were assigned to places. These are the three vestrymen who believe that the Torbert vestry is the legal one, and have been acting according to that bellef. They did not attend the vestry meeting last night, and they stated teday that they did not authorize the use of their names in making up the commit- tees. Mr. Kent remarked today that Mr. Graham mistook the temper of the men who were contending for the legality of the Torbert vestry if he believed they could be seduced from their principles by appoint- ment to office. —_>——_.
