GENERAL NOTES OF NEWS. St. Mary’s Catholic Church was rededi- cated yesterday morning with appropriate ceremonies before the largest crowd ever in a church edifice in this city. Bishop Van- deviver of Richmond conducted the services and was assisted by Rev. Fathers Cutler and Kenfick of St. Mary’s Church, Carne of Richmond, and others. The church building is now one of the handsomest buildings m this section of the country, and is a credit to the congregation. St. Mary’s Church. The plans for the church were drawn by Baldwin and Pennington, the architects of the Catholic University near Washington. ‘The cost of remodeling will exceed $15,000. The church now has a frontage of seventy- five feet on Royal street, runs back 125 feet, and has an interior height of forty feet. Seats for a hundred more persons have been put in, and the church will now seat 1,200 persons. The choir gallery has been greatly enlarged and will accommo- date about forty singers, and in this gal- lory there are seats for 120 colored mem- bers of the congregation. At the morning services La Hasche's mass was rendered in an impressive man- ner by the following choir: From St. Pat- rick'’s Church, Washington—Mrs. Belle Bingham Cain, Miss Blanche Wood, Miss G. Borbeck and Messrs. John J. Keating, Paul Cain, Walsh, Bastabel, Johnson and Turpin, and from’ St. Mary's choir, Mes- dames ‘Thos. Monroe and Jacob Brill and Misses Annie Maxwell, Lottie Greenwell, Hattie Hill, Mary Monroe, Mai Greenwell and Mamie Lyles, and Messrs. Wm. L. Hoy, John H. Strider, Edward Birrell, Enoch Lyles, Pat Downey, Thos. Bur- roughs, Robert Wentzel and Wm. Whit- comb. Bishop Vandeviver's Sermon. Bishop Vandeviver delivered the dedica- tory sermon. He congratulated the mem- bers of the congregation on their mag- nificent edifice, and among other things said a great many people made the asser- tion that Catholics could not be true to their country because they owed allegiance to the pope as their sovereign. He said such was not the case. The pope re- quired them to be true to_ their government, and the bishop said that any man who was not true to his country was not a good Catholic and could not be trusted. He urged his hearers to be true to their church and to their coun- try. He said America was discovered by a Catholic, and that the Catholic standard was the first to be planted in America; that Gen. Washington had complimented the Catholics upon their share in obtaining the independence of these United States, and looked upon them as the truest sub- jects of the government. The church was just as much crowded again last night, when Le Jeal’s Grand Vespers were sung by the foilowing choir of St. Peter’s urch, Washington: Soprani—Miss Hattie Ritchie,soloist; Miss- es Anna Baptista, Bessie Skelly, Katha- rine Allen, M. Stewart, Mary McMahon and Anna Butts. _ Alti—Miss Regina Baptista, soloist, as- sisted by Mrs. Marguerite Nolan-Martin aud Misses Mary Dooley, A. Rodgers and Minnie Callan. Tenori-Mr. Robert Smart, sisted by Mr. James Collins Charles Duffy, Chas. Wright, ard George O'Connor. Bassi—Mr. Frank White, soloist, assisted by Mr. John Nolan, Messrs. Frank Cole- man, B. J. Atchison, I. L. Johnson, W. Werres and A. P. Gorman. Organist—Miss Nannie R. Keaorn. These were assisted by Mrs. Marguerite Nolan-Martin and Mr. John Nolan of the St. Matthew’s choir. The music was ren- dered in a magnificent manner, the bass eclo, the psalm i the tenor solo, prano solo, “Laudate Dominum,” particularly so. At the benediction the Ave Maria Mai Greenwell Salutaris (Verdi), the Tantum Ergo (lillard) by Mrs. Jacob Brill, both of this city. The present pastor of the church is Rev. Father H. J. Cutter, and to his untiring energy is due the magnificent structure that is now the place of worship of the Reman Catholics of this city. Rey. Father Kenefick is the assistant pastor. Mrs. Gibbs Seriously Injured. Mrs. Norman Gibbs met with a painful and what it is feard may prove serious accident while on her way to church in this city from her home, near Mt. Vernon, yesterday. The tongue of her carriage be- came detached in some way while the thicle was on a steep hill. The horses, which were very spirited, became scared and dashed away at breakneck speed, run- ning into a bridge. The occupants were thrown out, and all escaped injury except Mrs. bs, who was picked up unconscious. She was taken to the residence of Mr. Baker, near by, and Drs. Purvis and Klep- stein of this city called. The doctors, after examining the injuries, were unable to say whether they will prove fatal or not, as they fear that she is injured internally. The carriage was completely demolished. Decorated the Graves. Sarepta Lodge, I. O. O. F., assembled at their lodge room late yesterday afternoon and marched in a body to the cemeteries, where they decorated the graves of their deceased members. They were accompan- ied to the cemeteries by.members of Har- mony Lodge, I. O. O. F., of Washington. Police Court.

The observance of Children’s Sunday at the People’s Church, yesterday, was mark- ed by a unique feature in the appearance of a class of young lady graduates from the Elizabeth Peabody Kindergarten Nor- mal School, who, at the request of mem- bers of the church, had consented to pre- sent some of the kindergarten songs. These served as illustrations of the pleasure, ag well as aids in character building, which children may derive from such exercises, - and were warmly commended.
