The Cycle Company. The organization known as the Second Separate Company has been transferred by an order of Gen. Ordway to the engineer batalion,in whitch it will constitute the sec- ond section of company B, under command of First Sergeant S. H. Gibson. This move was made in order to give a chance to this organization to reorganize, as it was at first thought they would be mustered out of the guard, because of the smallness of the company. os Has Left Heme. Thomas E. Lambden, who lives in the county near Brightwood, has asked the police to find his seventeen-year-old daugh- ter Louisa, who, he says, left home Thurs- day. Louisa, it is said, left home because she did not like her stepmother, and it is thought that she is living with friends or relatives. Visiting Police Chiefs. The committee of citizens appointed to make arrangements for the entertainment of the chiefs of police held a meeting today and decided to entertain the visitors at Marshall Hall, where a planked shad din- ner will be enjoyed. This will take place on Thursday, the Itth. As heretofore printed, the session will begin on the 14th and last four days. In addition to the trip to Mar- shall Hail, the visitors will be taken to Soldiers’ Home, Arlington and other places alout the city. —— A Florida Tragedy. TAMPA, Fla., May 6.—George W.

The new Gospel wagon, which the Cen- tral Union Mission has just had completed, and which appeared on the streets yes- terday for the first time, reminded many of the old wagon that became so familiar to our citizens during the eight years of its constant use until destroyed in the great fire that consumed the Knox’s stables and warehouse last July. Fortu- nately, the directors of the mission had the burned wagon insured for $800, which amount was promptly paid and placed in bank to await the construction of another one. An appeal was made to the various churches for the necessary funds, to which response was cheerfully made. While built upon the general plan of the old one, many improvements have been made in the present vehicle, suggested by the experience of other years, which, it is believed, will add greatly to the utility and convenience of this chapel on wheels. The wagon is 20 feet long and 7 feet wide in the clear, but the roof projects 18 inches front and rear, making it 23 feet long, and the side projections increase the entire width to over 8 feet. The roof is built with a greater curve, and is higher, much hand- somer and more graceful in outline than the old one. The railing, attached to the platform, is self adjusting, raising and lowering with the platform. The entrance is at the side opposite the platform, in- stead of at the rear, and the steps leading up and into the wagon are built on to the door, and so arranged that when opened the steps fall into place to permit entrance or exit, and when the door is closed the steps fold up inside. Iron frames are at- tached to both sides of the wagon, extend- ing along its whole length, to which the curtains when lowered may be fastened, and when outstretched they form an awn- ing 3 1-2 feet wide and 20 feet long, suffi- cient to protect all the workers from the rays of the summer sun. Poles and fix- tures have been made for two wheel horses and two lead horses, or for three wheel horses, as may be desired. Interior Fixture: The benches, with folding seats, are ar- ranged in three rows, capable of accom- modating eleven on each row, or a total of thirty-three persons. The cxterior of the wagon is finished in dark green pan- els, black moldings, with hair lines of a rich crimson, while the interior is finished in oak. The seats and the organ are of oak, to correspond with the interior of the wagon. The missior. board feel very grateful to Mr. Julius Estey, president of the Estey Organ, Company, who has _ presented, through the company agents, Messrs. San- ders & Stayman, another organ for use on the gospel wagon. The organ originally presented by him was destroyed in the fire with the old wagon, but he promptly stnt the new organ when informed of the lcss of the other. The new wagon appeared yesterday, drawn by four horses, wearing a new and beautiful set of harness, specially made for the team by Mr. Ricks, a convert of the mission. The wagon was constructed by Messrs. Pearce & Lawton of 2710 M street, West Washington, who built the old wagon. Every stick of timber and every piece of iron or steel entering into the construction of the wagon is the very best, and has passed under the critical eyes of the board members from day to day, and Messrs. Pearce & Lawton have their thanks and approval for their faith- ful and painstaking labors. The cost of the wagon, with seating and harness for four-horse team, was $S24. Effective Work Anticipated. The mission workers have been waiting very anxiously for the completion of the wagon, und the opening of the summer campaign, and it is believede that better work and more work will be accomplished this year than ever before. The history of gospel wagon work in this city embraces the history of scores of homes made glad and prosperous, and hundreds of men and women changed from careless, vicious and dissipated lives to become sober, industrious and useful citi- zens. The ccst of four-horse team and driver is $ per Sabbath and $3 week nights, and the board would be glad to have persons yclurteer to pay their expenses from week to week until horses are secured without hiring. The mission owns two horses, and if the board could secure the use of two others for their “keep” it would save a part of the expense. The board would be glad to hear from any one having one or two horses that the owner desires to have taken care of during the summer. —>__ EPISCOPAL DIOCESE. Sermon by Baltimore Divine on the Proposed Division. | A sermon on the theme, “Shall We Di- vide the Diocese?” was delivered yesterday morning by Rev. J. Gibson Gantt at Holy Comforter P. E. Church, Baltimore. In the course of his discourse he said: “All eyes are fastened on Washington. Other religious bodies are placing their rep- resentatives there, and would rear them- selves by the pillars of the state. Some would have us inaugurate a greater work under the shadows of the Capitol. Mary- land churchmanskip is too democratic to be so enthused as to consent to a division for this reason only. We live too near the capital to sympathize with those just ap- proaching the glare and confusion of her Congress and conventions. ‘The appear- ance of a state chureh is repugnant. Mary- land churchmanship shrinks from political patronage or favor. She hesitates In plac- ing any portion of her soil or people under the shadow of a suspicion that the church will glory in other than this, the God-given ideal—to be the church of the people and not of the classes of this country.” ea ee ADVANTAGES OF TOTAL ABSTINENCE Rev. Father Powers and Mr. E. J. Redmond Make Strong Arguments. There was a large crowd present last night at the meeting of the Father Ma- thew Total Abstinence Society at Carroll Institute, and close attention was paid to the scholarly address delivered by Rev. Charles J. Powers, C. 8. P., of the Catholic University. Father Powers, in a clear and lucid manner, pointed out the numerous individual and community benefits to be derived from the practice of total absti- ence, and called especial attention to the gorous attitude of the Catholic church against the liquor traffic and its desire that none of its members should engage in the business, Mr. E. J. Redmond also delivered an earnest and characteristic address. The musical portion of the evening was con- tributed by Miss Blanche Wood, Mr. John Keating, Mme. Esputa-Daly and Miss Jennie Wilkinson. —_ Religious Services at the Jail. Religious services were held at the Dis- trict jail yesterday afternoon by a commit- tee of the Y. M. C. A., headed by Secretary James E. Pugh, for the first time, it {s sald, since the prison was quarantined last fall'as a result of the smallpox scare. There were also services earlier in the day condueted by colored religious workers and by members of the Catholic church. Sec- retary Pugh was assisted by Messrs. J. VW Sims, J. Arthur Rose, Otis D. Swett, Dr. B. H. Grant and W. H. Wormersley’ of the Jail committee. Warden Leonard had placed seats in the corridors fer the prisoners, and for an hour an inte! ting service of song and prayer was apparently greatly enjoyed by them. Mr. Pugh and Dr. Grant also made brief addresses. At the same hour, 2:30, the jail committee of the association will hold a similar meeting next Sunday afternoon, all differences between the warden and the workers having been satisfactorily settled, it was explained by Secretary Pugh. THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, MAY 6, 1895—TWELVE PAGES. AMUSEMENTS. Imperial Banjo Club Concert.—The Im- perial Banjo and Mandolin Club received a benefit at the Academy of Music last even- ing, which was fairly attended, .and at which an enjoyable program was rendered, consisting of vacal and instrumental se- lections, together with a number of recita- tions. The Imperial Club, consisting of Clarence M. Jones, Charles W. Becker, C. P. Reardon, J. F. Jones and Paul G. Hough, rendered the waltz from the opera, “Prin- cess Bonnie,” and in response to an encere gave the “Jolly Students.” The Olmo Mandolin Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. A. V. Holmes, rendered ‘The Director- ate” and Guekert’s Zulu Patrol. Miss Maud Bigelow played De Berriot’s Russian Fantasie as a violin solo, accompanied by Miss E. Ulke. She played with exactness, and her work was conscientious and with expression. Mr. J. R. Park sang “Past and Future” in good voice, and Mr. J. J. Fisher sang well, as he always does. Mr. P. E. Baer sang a tenor solo, Miss Pauline Whittaker sang a contralto solo and Mrs. Kitty Thompson-Berry contributed a so- prano solo. The other instrumental num- bers were Miss Grace T. Jones, piano solo; Mr. Elphonzo Youngs, cornet solo, played with his accustomed skill, and Miss Anita Cluss, harp solo. Miss Cluss’ number was one of the most enjoyable on the program. The other numbers consisted of recitations, in which Messrs. Talbot Pulizzi, C. Garvin Gilmaine, Ed J. Walsh and Miss J.olo Ray took part. The entertainment closed with a selection by the Imperial Club. Miss Schmidt's Lecture—Miss Anna Sea- ton Schmidt delivered a lecture on a journey through Italy at the Concordia Lutheran Church last evening before a large and ap- preciative audience. This was the last of a series of three, and the journey last evening was chiefly through and aboutVenice. It was illustrated by a large number of piczures, which the leeturer herself had gathered while on the other side. She devoted her- self mainly to the subject of tht cathedrals in one part, and made many interesting comments on their history and their past and present uses. The three lectures have netted quite a nice sum for the benefit of the church, Merchants’ Carnival.—_The Young Wo- man's Christian Temperance Union, or Y branch of the W. C. T. U. of the District, has been making great preparations for its entertainment at National Rifles’ Armory this evening. The program will be divided into three parts, representing morning, af- ternoon and evening, and great care has been taken to make it as enjoyable and in- teresting as possible. The affair will con- sist principally of a merchants’ carnival and business men’s jubilee, and about sev- enty-five of the members of the various Y branches and auxiliaries in this city will participate in the event, the principal feat- ures of which are as follows: Queen's speech, Miss Jessie McBride; merchants’ representatives, who will appear three times during the evening; court jester, Mr. Frank Brown; solo, Miss Nannie Moffatt; newsboys—Turkish bath; parody on “Old Oaken Bucket,” Miss “Drown; luncheon scene, violin solo, Miss Wescott; address of ambassador from the east, Martha S. Haines; tableau—“The Jewel;” solo, ‘‘Com- in’ Through the Rye,” Miss McKee; tab- leaus—“Before and After Taking,” Fash- fon’s Devotee,” “Monument to the Living” and “A Good Fit;” dialogue, “Grandma's Birthday,” grandma, Miss ‘Ambrose; be- tween acts—Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar Club, Messrs. Arthur Shelton, Harry Hin- man, Will Mockviile and E. C. Gerwig; flower girl, Miss Drown; Five Minutes with the Fairies, Lillan Hughes, Tillie Schnei- der, Aida Seal and Miss Wahley; Old Arm Chair; tableaus—“The Dairy Maid,” The ’ “The Three Fates,” “Waiting,” Young Mother,” “The Invalid,” “Japanese Tea Girl,” “Cinderella.” The entertainment will be repeated tomorrow night. Mr. Anton Kaspar’s Recital—Mr. Anton Kaspar was heard for the last time in pub- lic, prior to his departure for Berlin, at the Universalist Church Saturday evening. The church was filled with an appreciative and fashionable audience, and the program was one that could hardly have been excelled. The Withelmj Club played a “Faust” fan- tasle, arranged for strings by Mr. Ernest Lent, the variations on the theme of the Imperial Quartet and the serenade de man- dolins, and in each number proved the ex- cellence of their training, appearing to be in perfect touch with their leader and play- ing in excellent precision. Mr. Anton.Kas- par played Vieuxtemp’s Fantasie Appas- stonata, the andante from Bruch’s G minor concerto, the prieslied from “Die Meister- singer,” a rondo by De Beriot and a Wien- fawski mazurka, in all of which he demon- strated his great technical skill and his true musicianly spirit. His work now gives promise of a brilliant future when he shall return from completing his studies abroad. The vocal soloists were Miss Mary Lock- hart, Miss Leta Stakely and Mrs. Kaspar. The ‘first gave a couple of French songs, which she interpreted with delicate effect, and Miss Stakely sang Benedict’s varia- tions to the Carnival of Venice in a man- ner that showed the great flexibility of her voice and the good training it has received. Mrs. Kaspar sang Elsa’s dream from “Lo- hengrin” and completely captured her au- dience by her artistic and feeling interpre- tation. It is to be regretted that she is not heard more frequently in public. Her en- core was emphatic, as wére those that were given Mr. Kaspar. Mr. Henry Xander played all the accompaniments, and demon- strated his marked ability in that line. At no time dil he make his instrument a solo part, and his playing was with fine ex- pression and excellently modulated to the singers’ voices. His work with Mr. Kaspar was of the highest order. Mr. Anton Kas- par sails for Berlin soon to begin a course of study on the violin at one of the cele- brated institutes there. ——.__—_ ANNUAL INSPECTION. Third Battalion of the National Guard Faces an Ordeal. The third battalion, District of Colum- bia National Guard, had their annual in- spection at Convention Hall last Saturday evening. The affair was a success all around, for many of the friends of the sol- dier boys were present, and after the in- spection was over all enjoyed a good so- cial time. Maj. Wilson was in command of the battalion, and Maj. Alexander, inspec- tor general; Adjt. Gen. Theodore Mosher, Quartermaster General M. V. Tierney, Sur- geon Gencral Henderson, Capt. William Horton, and Capt. Guy E. Jenkins were the inspecting officers. Companies A and B turned out in full dress uniform, but C and D wore the ordinary National Guard fatigue uniform. The center of interest was the Morton Cadets. They made an ex- cellent showing and were repeatedly com- plimented on their steadiness, neatness and the snappy way in which they handled their pieces. Capt. Edgar A. Shilling and First Lieut. ‘Tralles commanded the com- pany. The company showed the evidences of the hard training which it has gone through during the past few weeks in prep- aration for the drill at Memphis. Company B had four men absent, but the company has improved so much dur- ing the time that Capt. Mattingly has com- manded it that it showed up surprisingly well. Lieut. Burchard commanded company C, as Capt. Sayers was absent on account of a death in the family, and the company received very fair marks on thelr inspec- tion, although they had eight men absent. Company D had twenty-one men absent on the roll call, out of forty, and those that were present seemed to have lost all heart and interest in the welfare of the company. Maj. Wilson said, however, that many difficulties were besetting the com- pany just at present, and that it was not his Intention to let the organization be mustered out yet awhile. a RETURN OF THE MARINE BAND.. ‘The Southern Concert Tour Was a Gratifying Artistic Success. The Marine Band returned yesterday from its trip through the south. Prof. Fanciulli and the members of the organi- zation are very much pleased over the re- ception extended to them in the various cities where concerts were given, and speak in terms of gratification over the high praise everywhere given by press and pub- lic to the superior artistic ability of the band. The last concert was given at Charleston, W. Va., Saturday’ night, and was successful in every particular. —.—__ Trustee's sale of the valuable business property Nos. 913-915 9th street northwest will take place tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock.

The Detroit scheme of relieving the poor by assisting them to earn their own liv- ing in the cultivation of vacant city and suburban land and raising thereon potatoes or other crops of vegetables, which are always in demand and command remuner- ative prices, will be considered in its local aspect at a joint meeting, to be held at the board of trade rooms this afternoon at 4 oclock, of the charity committee of the board of trade and corresponding sub- committees from the central relief commit- tee and the asscciated charities. It is expected that some definite plan will be adopted at the conference by which the work of relief will be commeaced at an early day. Mr. John B. Wight received today a let- ter from Mayor H. 8S. Pingree of Detroit in reply to a communication inquiring how the potato plan of helping the poor was carried on in the northwest. “Replying to your letter of April 29," writes the mayor, “I would say that I am glad to know that the information I sent you was of assistance. “Relative to blank forms, I would state that the season was so late last year when the cultivation matter was under- taken that we had to do away with many preliminaries which no doubt would have been useful, and no blank forms were pre- pared. The committee will meet today (May 4) to organize and systematize the work for this year, and if they prepare any blanks I shall take pleasure in forward- irg you samples.” Continuing, Mayor Pingree adds this in- teresting suggestion: “Believing that it will interest you, I wish to add that Iam a shoe marufacturer in Detroit. For the past ten years, more or less, shoe manufacturers of Boston, New Haven, Lynn and other New England cities bave been removing their factories from the cities into the country villages largely for the following reasons: _ “1. ‘That they were unable to give ‘steady employment to alk of their mechanics and workmen. “2. Competition being so great it brought Wages so low that a shoemaker could bare- ly make a living the year round. “3. By the removal of these factories into country villages it gave the manu- facturers an opportunity to employ farm- ers’ boys in their factories, they were not entirely dependent on what they could earn as shoemakers, for, when the fac- tories closed, they returned to tilling the soil. “If large cities,” concluded Mayor Pin- gree, “would give employes of factories, &c., a chance to earn part of their living by cultivating vacant city land it would materially assist manufacturers to keep their factories in the city.” Mayor Pingree closed by wishing the undertaking in this city much success. _ ABOUT THE PASTOR. Hillsdale A. M. E. Church Objeets to a Change. When Rev. W. C. Gowens, the pastor- elect of Hillsdale A. M. E. Church, arrived at that edifice yesterday morning for the purpose of holding his initial service there, he found the doors of the church locked against him, so, being unable to enter the building, he conducted a service outside. Most of the usual congregation were con- spicuous by their absence, but quite a crowd, a large portion of which were chil- dren, gathered around’ the steps, and to them Mr. Gowens made an address, and also prayed and sang.’ No collection was taken, but some of those present offered the preacher a donation of money, which he accepted. At the conclusion of the exercises sev- eral of the prominent members of the church informed Mr. Gowens that it was the unanimous intention of the member- ship to reject him as their pastor for the ensuing conference year. This was not on account of any objection to him personally, but because they had asked for, and had, they said, been promised by Bishop Gaines, during the recent sessien’of the conference at Baltimore, that Rev. F. M.,Ovelton, their pastor..up to the time*the conference as- sembled, should be returned to ‘them. This was the well understeod arrange- ment, they said, up to an hour before the time when the appointments were read out. Prior to this, but during the same day, Bishop Gaines had, they claimed, assured a delegate sent by the church to ask for Mr. Ovelton’s returg for another year, that their request would be granted by him. At the last moment, however, it is alleged, representations were made to the bishop which caused him to change his mind and appoint Rev. W. C. Gowens to Hillsdale and Mr, Ovelton to Fruitland, a small church in the lower part of Maryland. The trustees of the church, who, until a mortgage on the building ts paid, have, it is claimed, sole control of the ‘property, have determined if Bishop Gaines does not reconsider his action in the matter and restore Mr. Ovelton to the Hillsdale Church that the building shall be closed indefi- nitely. Mr. Gowens appeared in front of the church again at night and had a brief ser- vice, during which he announced that he would have a meeting in the church to- morrow night. In conversation after the meeting Mr. Gowens said he would today or tomorrow have a thorough investigation made, in order to ascertain whether or not the church has been deeded to the conference, and until this has been ascertained he could not determine what his course would es Wimodanghsis Business Meeting. The Wimodaughsis directors at their reg- ular meeting Saturday adopted resolutions thanking those who had contributed in various ways to the success of their kitchen and dining room exhibit. Mrs. Ruth G. D. Havens’ resignation from the office of pres- ident was formally presented. Names of new stockholders were announced as fol- lows: Mrs. Frances Bagley of Detroit,Mich.

Yesterday morning Mr. Homer Wills found lying on the shore at the Dixie land- ing a gray cloth coat, evidently belonging to @ boy thirteen or fourteen years old. In it was a 5-cent piece, a car ticket, a white silk handkerchief, bearing the let- ter “J.,” a card of Domingo Gana, the Chilean minister, and a letter written in Spanish. It is believed here that either an accidental or intentional drowning has taken place. The various precinct offi- cers will be notified to look about and in- quire for such a disappearance. The coat is being held at the station to await iden- tification, Real Estate. Messrs. Chas. H. Trunnell and R. A. Casilear Saturday sold for Judge Wm. A.

Mr. Carter Marbury, the well-known law- yer, who met with a@ serious fall last sum- mer, died this morning at 6 o'clock at the residence of his brother, Mr. John Mar- bury, jr., on Georgetown Heights. Deceas- ed was a man of wide acquaintance, and a lawyer of ability. Mr. Marbury’s death was probably largely due to the fall and resulting disabilities, though he has also been a sufferer from Bright’s disease. He was the son of the late John Marbury, sr., a fine lawyer and sterling citizen of George- town. Notes. Another dead baby was found in town this morning. This makes the fifth within a week. Today’s find was on N street near 82d. Mr. Wm. Wetzel’s condition is becoming encouraging. Two officers were yesterday detailed for duty on the Aqueduct bridge to prevent sightseers from crowding against the rail in their efforts to look at the coffer dam construction, to the endangering of their lives. The Aqueduct rail has always been a frail affair. Other details in the county left the Georgetown police force short.
