The horses on the Belt Line railroad, in the capital of our country, are a disgraze to civilization. It is rare to see a single horse in condition to make the trip required of it, much less to drag the crowded cars up those long hills, at a speed metimes trying to a horse in good con- ition. They-are beaten at almost every step, and generally are quite lame. Can nothing be done to force the company to put decent horses on the road? Is the So- clety for the Prevention of Cruelty utterly werless to prevent this constant brutal- ity? The outcry about “vivisection” seems to me to be much less important than this suffering to the large number of horses in the dafly use of that-road.

Scull, general passenger agent, Baltimore, Ma. ne to YOUNG MINISTER MISSING Search Being Made in All Directions— Surmises Only Have Been Furnished. Rev. Dana Davenport, a bright and promising young minister, son of the Rev. W. G. Davenport, rector of Emmanuel Protestant Episzopal Church, Anacostia, has disappeared in a most mysterious man- ner. Young Mr. Davenport fs in charge of an Episcopal chapel at Harrisonville, Bal- timore county, Md., about twelve miles from the city of Baltimore, and eight from Glyndon station, on the Western Maryland railroad, and at the time the mysterious affair occurred boarded with Mr. Charles Ware. , On the morning of July 5 he told Mr. Ware that he desired to go to Baltimore for a couple of days, and requested Mr. Ware to take him to the nearest point on the Emory Grove electric railway, over which he intended to proceed to the city. Mr. Ware complied with the request, and, after conveying Mr. Davenport to the point the latter had designated, left him and re- turned to his own home. From this time and place all clew of the young man has been lost, and although during Saturday and yesterday every rela- tive of Mr. Davenport in Baltimore and vicinity has been visited by persons whom tke father has engaged to assist him in the search, not the slightest information. has been gained in relation to the matter. The fact that Mr. Dana Davenport was missing was not known to his relatives’ in Anacostia until Saturday, when his father received a telegram from the Rev. Mr. Smith, rector of the Episcopal Church at Owings Mills, Md.. asking if Dana was home, and stating that the latter had prom- ised to be at Mr. Smith’s house, yesterday ore week ago, but did not come, ard he Bee not since then heard anything from -im. Mr. Davenport was astounded and almost prostrated with grief at the mere suspicion that anything serious could have happened to his son, and immediately proceeded to police headquarters in Washington, where he laid the facts before Inspector Hollin- berger. That official asaured Mr. Davenport that all that lay in his power should be done to find Dana or obtain information relative to him, and kindly communicated witht the chief of police of Baltimore on the subject, and the latter also took a most active in- terest in the matter, sending out detectives to work up every possible avenue of Infor- mation, but without the slightest Zavorable result. * Yesterday Mr. Davenport remembered that Dana had said in one of his letters to him, and which was received recently, that he had a notion to take a trip down the bay, and, acting on the theory that he may have done so, Mr. Davenport today went to Baltimore and will visit the offices of all the steamboat lines which keep a st of the passengers, in order to see if Dara’s name is among them. Mr. Davenport also thinks that Dana may possibly have taken an all-day trip down the bay and on his return did not reach the nearest point on the electric road to Harrisonville until late Saturday night, but, feeling that he ought to be at his church Sunday morning in time for service, started to walk the eight miles in the dark, and he fears his son fell in with some ruffians, who may have done him serious harm. It has been suggested to Mr. Davenport that perhaps Dana may have been taken ill after starting to walk from the electric road to his home and that his condition was noticed by some resident of the neighbor- hood, who took him to his home, where he is now being cared for. Mr. Davenport intends to make a thor- ough search of the entire country between Owings Mills and Harrisonville before his return to Anacostia, unless he shall in the meantime get reliable information of Dana's whereabouts. Mrs. Davenport, Dana’s mother, who has been for some time caring tor the poor children at the Salt Water Home, Colonial Beach, was informed of the sad occurrence and reached Anacostia this morning. She is greatly distressed over the affair, as are the entire family, and the sympathies of the people of the whole town are with them in their affliction. A few months ago Dana was greatly troubled with insomnia, which was caused by an affection in one of his eyes, from which he had suffered since childhood, but which became much better after he had, last month, an operation performed on the organ by a well-known oculist in Washington. ——__ ISRAEL’S NEW PASTOR. Rev. Mr. Doyle Introduced to His Con- gregution. The members and friends of the congre- gation of the Israel C. M. E. Church turn- ed out in large numbers yesterday to wit- ness the introduction of the Rev. H. Seb. Doyle into the pastorate of that church. Rev. Mr. Doyle succeeds to the pastorate of the church, made vacant by the death of Rev. 8. B. Wallace, D. D., who had acceptably filled the pulpit of the Israel Church for three years. The officials of the church occupied seats around the altar, and at the morning services assisted Rev. Doyle in the administration of the feast of the Lord’s supper. The choir of the church had arranged a special musical program for the occasion, which was well rendered. The Rey. H. Seb. Doyle is one of the young- est pastors in the C. M. E. Church con- nection, but has served some of the largest churches of that connection. He is re- garded as an able scholar and forceful preacher. He !s a graduate from Union Wesleyan University of Ohio and was the only colored man in the class of '85. He stood fourth in his class and carried off the second prize in the oratorical contest. He lectured throughout the northern states | during vacations, and thereby secured the means by which he was educated. In ’91 he identified himself with the Georgia con- ference at the annual session held at Ath- ens, Ga. He was then transferred to the Alabama conference, and has _ served churches at Birmingham, Ala., and Tala- dego, from which church he was transfer- ed by the Rt. Rev. Bishop R. S. Williams to the pastorate of the Israel C. M. E. Church of this city. In assuming the pas- torate yesterday he was cordially received by the members of the congregation. —.—_—_ A CALL FOR HARMONY. The Local Irish-American Union Wants the Factional Fights to Cease. The Irish-American Union of this city issued a plea for more harmonious action oa the part of the Irish candidates for re- election to parliament. The meeting, which was well attended, was presided over by President John O’Brien, with Mr. Joseph McEnerney as secretary. A committee,con- sisting of Messrs. Peter J. Cosey and Domi- nick A. Walsh, reported a series of resolu- tions, which were unanimously adopted. The resolutions deplore the divisions now existing among the candidates and declare that the members of the local union will hereafter withhold any financial or moral support from the representatives of these factions until such time as they shall adopt the parliamentary procedure enunciated by the late Charles 8. Parnell. Faneral of J. A. Hutchinson. The remains of J. A.

Local Notes of Interest to All Classes From Across Rock Creek. Saturday night at 11 o’clock an unknown colored man while intoxicated climbed over the canal fence at the foot of Sith street, fell into the waterway and was drowned. His helplessness precipitated death. There were two witnesses to the accident, John Carroll of 1211 37th street and L. Thomp- son of 1240 36th. Their story is to the ef- fect that :n coming up the steps leading from the Canal road to Prospect avenue Saturday night they encountered the man sitting in a drunken condition on a land- Ing, and completely blockng the passage- way. They spoke to him to move, and he got ugly, words followed, and the fellow got up and staggered down the steps. Not knowing what he was doing apparently, he approached the guard rail and climbed over, the men watching him from above. They did not realize what the man was doing until they heard the splash when he fell. Assistance was brought too late. The body was caught at 2 o'clock. It was brought to the seventh precinct, but later removed to the sixth precinct station morgue. The dead man has not as yet been identified. He was dressed in working clothes with blue overalls, and had two bottles of whisky in his pockets. Deceased is rather dark in color and is about thirty-five years of age. The Canal Property. Under a d2cree of the District court a few days ago, as stated in The Star, the trustees of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company have been authorized to sell cer- tain property in Washington, east of the creek and along the line of the original eastern end of the waterway. which ter- minated at Tiber creek. The property in- volved is that occupied at present by the Washington Gas Light Company, embrac- ing land between F and G, G and H and H and I, and the “Mole wharf,” east of the creek, The Gas Light Company have offered $100,000 for the property. Any other purchaser would be obliged to buy off a long lease of the company. The preceeds will be devoted to the cancellation of old debts. The decree does not affect in any manner the canal property west of Rock creek or the present condition of af- fairs pertuining thereto, as many suppose. The property is disconnected from the canal proper. Death of Henry H. Dade. Mr. Henry H. Dade, a highly respected colored citizen of this place, and a man who has held the highest rositions in the colored Masonic order of the District, died lest night. His funeral will take place to- morrow, services being held at Mt. Zion Methodist Church. Mr. Dade died at his home, 2529 P street.

The mass meeting jheld last night in the auditorium of the: Central Union Mission attracted a large attendance. The meeting was opened with a brief song and prayer service, conducted by Rev. E. D. Bailey, who afterward made a brief statement of the financial condition of the institution. The whole debt on the building at present, said he, is $42,000. The mission edifice was purchased two years ago for $56,000. To tkis cost $14,000 was added for repairs. Out of the $70,000 a part was paid by sub- ecriptions of generous citizens. Last Janu- ary, Mr. Bailey explained, the mission adopted the plan of taking 50-cent monthly subscriptions in the nature of pledges from the members and friends of the mission. Six hundred and fifty names have been secured, and 1,000 are desired.- Judge I. G. Kimball, chairman of the building committee, asked the congregation to pray for its success. He proposed a daily night and morning prayer, and half of the audience of 800 promised to indulge in it. Judge Kimball said he had found that there was approximately $500 unpaid. He urged greater diligence in the canvass for new monthly subscribers. He himself had se- cured 150, and he thought each one of them could secure another pledger. Charles E. Foster spoke of the necessity of raising the money, and offered to be the first of the ten men each of whom should give $200 to remove the debt. Rev. Dr. Muir, pastor of the E Street Baptist Church, ‘talked briefly on the ex- tended work of the mission, and of its helpful influence to the community. Attracting Much Attention. It is quite a notable fact that the Central Union Mission of this city is attracting at- tention of aggressive Christian workers and philanthropists in other cities, who come here to study its practical operations. Within a short time a representative from the charities of Worcester, Mass., came here to study the mission. At the same time a magazine writer asked the privilege of attending some of the Gospel wagon ser- vices, with a view to writing a magazine article about them. A superintendent of a mission in Pittsburg, another from New Brunswick, N. J., and another from Los Angeles, Cal., have been here within a few weeks. Sunday, the 7th, Rev. Arthur C. Peck and wife of the Haymarket Mission, Den- ver, Col., spent the day here, attending the Gospel wagon services during the day and the mission auditcrium meeting in_ the evening. At the latter service Mr. Peck gave an interesting addre: largely founded upon his personal experiences. He was the successful pastor of an M. E. church, but, burning with zeal to reach a different class of people, he resigned his pastorate and hired the Haymarket Thea- ter in Denver, where he started a mission, patterned after the Central Union Mission of this city, inctu@ding the Gospel wagon, industrial department and other feature: From the first he amet with most remark- able success, and during the past year over 1,800 conversions «were reported. Crowds attend his services) in the theater. His work costs about 310,000 a year, or nearly twice as much as the much greater work in this city, the difference being due to the fact that almost no salaries are paid in the mission here, while in his mission all work- ers are compensated. The mission was. also visited by Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Cramer, who are in charge of the: Sunbeam Rescue Mis- sion of Des Moines, Iowa. When Mr. Cramer was in this city five years ago he was an actor in a variety theater troupe, but since then he thas been converted, and gone into active: religious service. Just after his conversion, when he had resigned from his profession, a lady who was a stranger to him offered him a situation as superintendent of a mission, with a small selary, and he closed an engagement at once, commenced work immediately, and has been at it ever since. Nationalizing the Work. The movement to nationalize the work of the Central Union Mission is meeting with much success and promises great results in the near future. Major George A. Hil- ton, the well-known evargelist, who was chosen national superintendent of the Na- tional Gospel Mission Union, has com- menced an active campaign and is having good success. He recently visited Balti- more and Philadelphia, and interested a number of prominent men In those cities who at once took hold of the matter, and have now summoned him to a second con- ference with a view to organizing for work. The men who are moving in the matter are practical business men, and have evinced much interest in the movement. One business man remarked at the first con- ference that {t was almost too great a movement for him to comprehend, but he promised to take hold of it with others~ Mr. W. L. Bruen of this city is the rep- resentative of Virginia on the national board of directors, and has arranged to go to Norfolk next week with a view to or- ganizing a mission in that city. An urgent call has come from Chicago for the na- tional superintendent to go there and or- ganize a mission on West Madison street. A gentleman of means is ready to furnish the mission with the necessaty capital. Major Hilton is to go there next week with a view to organizing a local board of di- rectors. ‘The Baltimore Gospel wagon, which was used here last summer, after the Knox fire burned the mission’s wagon, has been sent to Philadelphia, where great success is at- tending the services. Some business men in Philadelphia, who are organized under the name of the Cross and Crown Assocla- tion, are running the wagon. The con- gregations sometimes number a thousand people and the crowds show great interest in the meetings. The business men are de- lighted with the success of the enterprise. eee Interesting Meeting. An interesting and largely-attended meet- ing for men was held yesterday afternoon at the Y. M. C. A. at which an address was made by Rev. Alexander Bielaski, pas- tor of the Union M. E. Church, who first took up Christian work about twenty years ago through the influences of the associa- tion. Mr. L. Loomis of Asbury Park sang a solo. Mr. Bielaskl’s text was taken from Matthew, and he told the young men com- posing his audience many of the reasons why they should accept the teachings of the Gospel.
