Severance and John W Musson, to take charge of the proceed- ings. ‘When the hour arrived a large contingent of home Endeavorers were on hand, but the returning delegates were not present. It transpired that ‘not more than a dozen out of the 4 who started had returned, so it was determined to postpone the recep- tion to_some future date. Those present then adjourned to the Sunday school room, where @ service was held, led by Mr. Robi- gon. Mr. Norman Eliott gave a brief sum mary of the work of the convention, hi: account being supplemented by a_state- ment {rom Mr. Makosky. ‘Mr. Crawford of Louisiana detailed his impressions of the affair and promised ‘a large attendance of Louisiana Endeayorets at the Washington convention. ee New Officers Chosen.

Judge Miller Expresses an Intention to Fine All Offenders—Several Cases Today. Bicyclists who ride their silent steeds af- ter sundown without the light required by law had better keep a sharp lockout for the police, for the officers, or many of them, are holding the riders to a strict accountability, and where no lighted lamp is shown no excuse is taken by the po- Hcemen, but the wheelmen have to appear in court and explain their conduct. And it takes a good explanation to affect the court in such matters, for the judge real- izes the danger to pedestfians resulting from the moving of unlighted bicycles af- ter sundown. A number of persons have been ridden down and injured and some of this class of cases have found their way to court, as well as those for not display- ing a light. Recently the procession of District offenders in court has been partly made up by some of the riders who could not put. up the necessary $5 collateral when arrested. In almost every case heard by Judge Miller fines have been imposed, and the lowest fine provided by law is $5. More than one of these offenders was unable to pay his fine and has had to wear the stripes. Fortunately for those arrested last night for violating this law all were able to de- posit collateral for their appearance. One of them was Guy Underwvod, pri- vate secretary to an Ohio Congressman, and when he appeared for trial he plead guilty and reserved the right to make a statement. “I had been called out to Florida avenue on business,” he said, “and borrowed the wheel, I expected to be gone only anout an hour. But I was detained and it was about 10 o'clock when 1 was arrested." Lawyer Holland said that Mr. Pugh had consented to a proposition to take his per- sonal bonds. Jydge Miller said he thought this law ought to be enforced. Riders of bicycles go along at the rate of ten cr twenty miles an hour. A pedestrian can go so fast and no faster, and if a wheelman has no light the pedestrian is at his mercy. The judge said that he would not ignore the recommendation of the prosecutor and tcok the man's personal bonds. ~ When Joseph Enrmantraut, a boy, was called on a similar charge he plead gullty. “I started out with a light,” he satd. “My lamp was on my wheel, but the light went out and I hadn't noticed it.” This excuse availed the boy nothing, for ho had to pay five dollars. John Simpson, a Christian Endeavorer, who lives at Point Pleasant, W. Va., stop- ped here yesterday on his way home. Lamps and bells are not required on wheels at his home and he was told that they were not necessary here. “I went out near the cemetery to see some friends,” said the young man. “I in- tended to return early, but my friends in- sisted on my staying to supper, and I was delayed.” Judge Miller repeated that he believed im the uniform enforcement of the law and that all offenders should be fined. “I’m glad to hear your hotior say-that,”” said Mr. Pugh. “Judge Kimball has been taking the personal bonds of these people and gave the police no, encouragement to enfcree the law. People are constantly be- ing run down and injured by bicycles, and a am glad your honor is going to impose nes.” Simpson being a stranger, an exception was made in his case and his personal bonds were taken. Jake Catz was the Jast victim of the bicycle law. He got on his wheel on Penn- sylvania avenue last night -to ridetwo squares to a book stcre. “T had no ofl,” he said, “and as E was not going on a dark street I thought I was doing no harm.” “The next time you go out after dark I would advise you to have your lighted lamp on your wheel,” sald the judge. — GRAND JURY INDICTMENTS. BIN Against Irelund, and Moy Chew Escapes. The grand jury today returned an Indict- ment against Worthington H. Ireland, charging him with forging the name_of H. Blondin, cashier of the Washington Times, to a check of L. Callisher for $23.12 on the 22d of lust January. The accuse, who i3 row i custody in Baltimore, M1., was a collector for the newspaper at the time, it is said, and was released on bail in the sum of $300 the first of last month | to await the action of the grand jury. Indictments were also returned today against Walter Carroll, charging him with housebreaking in entering the dwelling of Evgene F. Arnold on the 13th of Septem- ber, 18%, and against Wallace B. Spaeth, charging him with false pretenses. Spaeth is alleged to have induced the Rev. Thos. Cc. Easton on the 2Ist of last month *:o cash a check of $19 on the Manufacturer Nationa! Bank of Newark, N. J., the de- fendant falsely representing, it is charged, that he had an account at the bank. As intimated in The Star last weck would be the case, the grand jury today Ignored the gharge of assault with intent to kill preferred against Moy F. Chew by Ah Sing, another Chinaman, who claimed that the defendant shot him on the 4th of the present inonth. The charge of false pre- terses preferréd by Alice Hawkins against Charles W. Stevens was also ignored by the grand jury today. . With their report today the grand jury closed their labors for the summer, and Judge Cole adjourned the body until the th of September, unless sooner called to- gether. Foreman Edward C. Cutter was excused from further duty as foreman, and Mr. Joseph C, Johnson was sworn in 7s Mr. Cz ae successor. Referring to the oath taken by thelr foreman Juage Cole informed the other members of the grand jury that the oath was equally binding upon them and should be strictly observed by every man, especially cautioning them to keep secret all prcceedings before them. a The Y.

Changed From a Prison to a Charch— Other Items. The great old stone building here, south of the canal and opposite Grace Church, which was used a hundred years ago as @ penitentiary, and in recent years as a sumac mill, !s being devoted now to reli- gious purposes. The establishment will hereafter be known as the Little Zion Church, and will be under the direction of the Rev. Mr. Gans, colored. The service room in the old building !s on the original first floor, and will accommo- date about 200. The quarters are some- what dingy, but not too much so for the general patronage of the vicinity. The Lit- tle Zion Church is in the poorest section of town, in the midst of a large colored set- tlement. It promises to do splendid work of reformation. Already the church has gathered a large followirg. Rev. Mr. Gans is a hard worker, and a man who will ac- complish much. He 1s at present engaged in organizing a big choir. The best voices in the congregation have been secured. Enthusiasm is rife. Killed by a Blow. Geo. W.* Leopold, who is charged with having murdered D. J. Markey at lock 34 on the canal, had a preliminary hearing yesterday at Hagerstown. The autopsy re- vealed the fact that death had resulted to Markey through a blow on the head. Capt. Barton Haines gave the most !m- portant testimony of the day. He was on the boat when the fatal quarrel started. It originated through the telling of an old trouble that occurred between the men in 1882. Leopold invited Markey to go ashore to settle the quarrel with blows. Markey declined. Then Leopold struek him while sitting on deck and knocked him prostrate. The boat was then drawn up to the tow- path and the men got off. Markey was struck a blow when on shore which felled him again. Then he was left. He lay for a long time unconscious. Some one finally picked him up. Death was too near,though, to avert. Albertus Spencer assisted in try- ing to restore life. The tragic death has excited great com- ment on the canal. Visiting boatmen are deeply concerned over the affair. It 1s generally acknowledged by those who knew Markey that he drank a good deal and was quarrelsome. Pleasant Affair. Tuesday a delightful party was given to Miss Eva Prockelton, at her residence, 3335 Prospect avenue, the affair being in cele- bration of her sixteenth birthday. A very enjoyable evening was spent amid music. and feasting. The number of handsome presents received by Miss Prockelton gave ample proof of her popularity. Among those present were: Miss Della Vanneman, Misses Gertrude, Bertha and Su Ree Har- per, Anrie Kerby, Misses Annie and Agnes Goebel, Mamie Moore, Helen Beassy, Mollie Becker, Florence McKinley, Misses Sturges, Kate Schladt, Messrs. Wm. Banville, Fran- els Goebel, Frank and Mercer Duvall, Henry and Franc!s Patterson, Harry Luns- ford, Eugene Welch, Charles Lyddane, Mrs. Chas. McCarthy and son, Mrs. J. Reynolds, Mrs. Notingham and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rabbitt. ee EXCURSIONS. The Samuel J. Pentz will leave tomorrow merning at 0:45 for Chapel Point, one of the most picturesque and beautiful spots on the Potomac river. The fare for the round trip is 25 cents, and preparations are being made by Capt. Randall for one of the larg- est crowds of the season. There will be music and dancing on the boat and grounds, and those who desire to do so may fish to thetr hearts’ content. It is a special trip, and everything possible has been done to insure the comfort and pleas- ure of those who avail themselves of this opportunity to visit Chapel Point. Return- ing, the Pentz will reach the city about 10 p.m. John A. Rawlins Post, No. 1, Department of the Potomac, G. A. R., gave a most en- joyable excursion to Marshall Hall on the steamer Macalester last evening. A num- ber of the veterans and their friends made the trip and thoroughly enjoyed them- selves In the manner usual with G. ‘A. R. enterprises. Dancing was the chief ele- ment in the enjoyment of the evening, and Schroeder's Orchestra furnished the required music in excellent style. The Fer- ris wheel was kept in constant motion dur- ing the entire evening to accommodate the many hundreds who wished to enjoy the sensation of ascending to such a great height, and all the attractions were tested to their full capacity. On the way home stories were told and adventures recounted by the veterans, and in this way the trip up the river seemed very short indeed. Popular-priced excursions these hard times are especially attractive, and the acme of cuch seems to have been reached by Capt. Randall when he offers a thirty- three-hour excursion ‘to Chapel Point for $2, which inclu round-trip transporta- tion on the Harry Randall, supper, lodging and breakfast at Hotel Belleview. The steamer leaves every Sunday, Tuesday amd Thursday at 7 a.m., returning the following days about 3 p.m. These outings are most- delightful, largely patronized and strictly first-class. This evening at 6:30 o'clock the steamer Charies Macalester will leave on her second Thursday evening trip for Indian Head, stepping at Marshall Hall both ways. It was proved last Thursday that this extra trip was greatly appreciated, so it will be continued through the summer. The large Ferris ‘wheel is the chief attraction at Mar- shat Hall, and promises to be for a good while. —_~—+ — Thanking the Clerks.

NO COLOR LINE THERE. Walter H. Brobks Comments on the ©. E.€onvention. Dr. Walter H. Brosiss, pastor of the Nine- teenth Street Baptisti Church, and one of the best known colened ministers of Wash- ington, arcived home last night from the Christian Endeavor, gathering in Boston. Dr. Brooks respohdedfto the address of wel- come. which was. méde to the delegates "in Tent Williston, andthe Boston papers sald that {t was the beso effort of the’ occasion. Dr. Brooks is enthusiastic over his visit to Boston, and in conxersation with a repre- sentative of "The Stay today spoke highly of the Boston peoplesiand especially of the treatment which theyiaccorded the colored delegates who attended the convention. During his convereation today he taid: “The convention was. the biggest thing I ever saw from a religious standpoint, and over 56,000 delegates were. present. «Three meetings were held simultaneously at the two tents and Mechanics’ building, and were filled to overflowing all the while, and the“ greatest enthusiasm prevailed... The choirs were immense, and among the sing- ers might be seen the faces’of many of our own race, as well as other races. There was no colo line anywhere. The ushers wore white pants, black coats and black caps, and among them were those whose faces and features showed positively that there was no color line. Among the spe- clally invited speakers were Bishop Arnett of the A. M. E. Church, Rev. R. H. Stitt of Philadephia, Bishop Alexander Walters and myself, while Dr. J. W. Beckett of Bal- timore delighted the audiences’ in. Mechan- ies’ Hall with the rendition of musical se- lection." The officials of the convention announced in the beginning that the meet- ing wéuld"be international, interdenomina- tional and interracial. One of the most in- teresting features: of the session was the morning prayer meeting, which was held ir twenty churches of the city, and here, too, might be seen the faces and be heard the voices of the black and white man, and the representatives of China, Japan and other foreign countries. After my sermon in the Ebenezer Church Mr. Harris, a. rep- resentative citizen of Boston, invited me to go out sight-seeing with him and to en- Joy his hospitality. I did so, and was treated magnificently. In the hotels, res- taurants and cafes there was not the least evidence of race distinction. “It has been my privilege to travel all over this country, ‘and I spent one vacation abroad, but I have never seen any people 30 courteous and kind in their disposition as the Boston people. Protecting Life. “It was miraculous, too, that in this great gathering, with street cars. and streets crowded, no one was injured. ‘The motormen on the cars there handle their cars with the uttermost care, and are considerate of human life, and then, too, the law provides that if any person is killed either by accident or otherwise, the motorman of the car is imprisoned for twelve years. It remains to be seen whether or not Washington shall make a ike favorable impression upon the dele- gates who will visit here next year. It will be seen whether the people here can hold in abeyanée every phase of prejudice, and equal Boston in its expression of brotherly love. If we ,¢an do so we will make an impression tHat shall not be soon forgotten. I hope that all of the Christian people, both white and colored, will make every effort to make the convention of 96 the best that has been held yet.’ Dr. Brooks sald that he expected to at- tend the convention of Young Baptist Peo- ple, to be held in Baltimore tomorrow, as he wanted to witness what the attitude of that ibady would be toward. the .colored delegates. He saidi twat he had been in- formed-thatvall.of the colored delegates would occupy sesits separated from the white delegates. nat pune —_—~+. A Salvation Apmy Camp Meeting.

Sprigg and McLaughlin, on the body of Mrs. Mary E. Pinder, wit died in a den- tist’s chair Monday afternoon just after taking gas. The autopsy developed the fact that Mrs. Pinder had been a sufferer from fatty degeneration of the heart and that heart disease was her real ailment instead of lung trouble, as her family had supposed. This was the cause of death, and the physicians who made the examina- tion expressed surprise that she had lived as long as she did, for any sudden excite- ment would probably have been enough to hasten her end. The physicians who per- formed the autopsy exonerated the den- tist from any suspicion of responsibility in the matter. Dr. Frank Baker, professor of anatomy in Georgetown University, attended the au- topsy at the request of the family, who re- gard him as an old friend and one on whose judgment they could rely. Dr. Baker said to a Star reporter this morn- ing that while the dentist felt greatly dis- tressed over the sad occurrence, the fam- ily are satisfied that he was absolutely free from blame. ‘The condition of her heart,” he sald, ‘‘was such that, in my opinion, she could not have lived more than a few weeks longer anyhow. Probably the mere excitement of going into a dentist’s chair was sufficient to stop her heart's action. Nitrous oxide {s considered an absolutely safe anaesthetic. The mortality that en- sues from its use is not more than one in 10,000 cases and then It is to be ascribed, as in the present instance, to some unsus- pected organic trouble.
