A com- mittee of citizens appeared before the board, arguing that the street in question is a county road, having been recently ma- cadamized at the public expense, and that the railroad company is occupying it with- out right and to the serious inconvenience of the people. The matter was disposed of for the present by the appointment of a committee consisting of Supervisor Corbett and the superintendent to investigate the matter and report their conclusions to the board. The action of the committee is awaited with no small degree of interest by the people here. —=—__ BALSTON.

W. Higham at 476 Pennsylvania avenue, in Washing- ton, last Tuesday. Prof. Lewis Coulter, the bicycle instructor at the cstablishment, accompanied the detective and identified the wheel. The machine was found in the possession of two colored boys named Geo. Douglass and Sam Clarke, who reside in Bladensburg. They stated that they had purchased the wheel in Bladensburg for $5 from a young white man from Washington last Wednesday and that they had spent 85 cents in having it repaired. Prof. Coul- ter stated to The Star reporter that he had hired the wheel last Tuesday afternoon for $1 to a young white man about twenty-one years of age, who gave his name as Geo. Wright and his place of residence as the end of Harrison avenue in Anacostia. When Detective Rhodes, Prof. Coulter, Jack Bowles and Justice Hurley procured the wheel from the colored boys yesterday af- ternoon the lads seemed to be very much frightened to think they had purchased stolen proptrty. The wheel has been in use for about a year and is valued at $50. Detective Rhodes has a good description of the ycung thief and expects to capture him very shortly. The authorities of Lau- rel and Baltimore are also on the lookout for him. ‘The Sunday school of the M. E.

Suger, Rice and Cotton Growers’ In- terests Retter Protected. Chief Willis L. Mcore of the weather bu- reau has issued instructions of an import- ant character to the observers in the cot- ton, sugar and rice sections of the country, which are expected to be of great practical benefit to the growers of those great sta- ples. Chief Moore orders that, beginning with September 1, 1805, the hour for tak- ing observations at cotton region, sugar and rice stations will be 8 a.m., seventy- fifth meridian time, instead of 6 p.m., sev- enty-fifth meridian time. “By making this change,” continue the instructions, “it will be possible to issue the cctton region weather bulletins (form No. 1045) cach morning for the twenty- four hours ending 8 a.m. within two hours after the kcur of observation, and to give the minimum temperature for the current day. At present the bulletins are issued after 8 p.m,, and, as a rule, reach the pub- lic not earlier ttan the morning of the fol- lowing day—tfrom fourteen to sixteen hours after the time of observation, the bulletin containing the minimum temperature which occurred more than twenty-four hours before posting. The great advan- tage that will result frcm this change is, therefore, obvious. “In the cotton, sugar and rice-growing regions of the south hundreds of millions of dollars ace invested, and the condition of the crops is at all times a feature eager- ly weetened by those interested in those staples. a ‘he many disasters to these invest- ments by drought, frost, floods, violent wind storms and sudden and decided changes in temperature have created a demand for such information as can be used in determining, at frequent intervals, the condition of the growing crop. “The Secretary of Agriculture believes that in giving the information to those for whom it is collected practically twenty- four hours earlier than at present this change will prove of great advantage to the cotton, sugar and rice interests of the south, ard the practical benefits that will result will be greatly appreciated by pro- ducer and dealer alike.” DEAD LINE AT GRAY GABLES. How the President is Protected From Unwelcome Visitors. According to the New York Herald cor- respcndent at Buzzard’s Bay, the only ap- Froaches to Gray Gables, the President's cottage, is by the water landing at the ficating dock belonging to Mr. Cleveland, and by a private road. All other approach- es are cut off by swampy ground. In or- der to protect the President and his family from intrusion a ‘dead line” has been es- tablished across the road near the cottage, and all persons except those who are ex- pected at the cottgge, or whose business entitles them to go, are there turned back. “At the lodge,” says the Herald corre- spordent, “all carriages are met by elthor Officers McManus or Hazen, and their oc- cupants are questicned. If they are per- sonal friends of the President or are ex- pected they are allowed to go on. If they are there simply out of curiosity or with the hope of seeing Mr. Cleveland, they are allowed to go on to ‘the dead line,’ as it is called. Beyond that may no man pass without Mr. Cleveland's direct permission. “This ‘dead line’ is established just west of the stables. It was placed there so that vehicles could have an opportunity to turn around in the open space in front of the carriage shed. The driveway is too narrow to turn in any other place. From this out- post messages and cards are taken to the fevse, while visitors wait with a hope that is almost sure to be blasted. “All the people in the neighborhood who have horses that can be hired, and the livery stable keeper at Buzzard’s Bay, have been explicitly instructed that under no circumstances can they drive their teams beyond the ‘dead line,’ no matter how vig- orously their patrons urge them to do so. As Mr. Cleveland is naturally heid in more or less awe by the natives, this rule has never been disregarded. “The cccasion for the establishment of ‘the dead line’ was not so much to keep at a distance importunate office seekers as to put a stop to the great annoyance which over-curious people subject the President's family. Until ‘the dead line’ edict went forth wagon loads of people from all around would drive into the President's grounds, pull up directly in front of the north piazza, the favorite gathering place of the family, and stare at the people who happened to be sitting there in a way that was, to say the least, embarrassing. Not only would they stare, but also point out to each other the various members of Mr. Cleveland’s household, and in stage whis- pers make such remarks as: “There, that’s Mrs. Cleveland over there in the corner, with the light dress on. Don’t look so pretty as her picture, does Kinder nice looking, though.’ never think he was President, to look at him.” “I wonder who that other fellow is? Maybe it’s Lamont.’ “After a year of that sort of thing every day, with no holiday from the ordeal of in- spection, even on Sunday, Mr. Cleveiand established ‘the dead line.’ “He said he was not only willing, but felt much complimented to have his fellow cit- izens make trips to see his house and his grourds, but he seriously objected to hav- ing his family and himself put on exhibition like so many freaks in a museum. He thought he was entitled to a little of the domestic privacy which is accorded with- out question his 60,000,000 fellow citizens. Every right thinking man will agree with him.”" Sere = Mr. Gordon Declines. Mr. Robert H.

NEW DISPLACES OLD Fifteenth Street Methodist Charch to Go. LAST SERVICES HELD YESTERDAY A Fine New Building to Be Erected. : A LOOK BACKWARD The last services before the work of tearing down the building begins were held in the old Fifteenth Street M. E. Church yesterday morning, Rev. W. W. Van Ars- dale, the pastcr, presiding. The regular Sunday school exercises took place at 9:30, and a large number of the old scholars and teachers were present. Addresses were made, in addition to the regular Sabbath school exercises, by James L. Ewin, su- perintendent of the Foundry M. EB. Sunday school; G. Rowzee, W. H. Houghton and Dr. William Pittis, all-formerly officially prominent in the church, and Dr. C. R. Clark, the present superintendent of the school. Dr. Van Arsdale made a brief ad- dress relating to the church's history. He incorporated in his' remarks a list of the subscriptions, amounting to $10,000, already receivéd for the erettion of the new edifice. A collection was them taken up, which is to go toward the cost.of the new church, the amount contributed being $132. In the evening at'8 o'clock an old-fash- icned love feast was‘eld. The church was well filled, and the reminiscences told by some of the oldest members of the church, which were of an interesting nature, were enjoyed by all present. Addresses were made by W. H. Houghton,-Dr. Charles L. Pate, James L. Ewin and the pastor. The clos- ing address was delivered by Dr. Van Ars- dale. Brief History. ‘The origin of the ‘present church dates back to 1805, when a number of the parish- foners of the McKendree Methodist Episco- pal Church, situated 6n Massachusetts ave- rue between 9th and 10th ‘streets north- west, withdrew, and a year later organized and built a small frame church at the corner of 9th and P streets northwest. In 1874 the present edifice was constructed by the congregation, and at the same time negotiations were made with Dr. John M. Greene and Edward Owen for the purchasc of the small frame church, which, after its removal, became the home of the Mount Zion M. E. Church, at the corner of 15th ard R streets northwest. It was through the efforts of Mr. Owen and Dr. Greene, who were aided by a board of trustees, that the frame building formerly occupied by the Hamline M. E. Church and the lot on the northeast corner of 15th and R streets northwest were secured and the improve- ments made. The board of trustees con- sisted of Rev. John M. Greene, B. H. Stine- metz, A. F. Moulden, J. R. Harrover, Ed- ward Owen, E. W. Wakefield, J. M. Dunn, Thomas P. Morgan and H. R. Rowles. The first class leaders consisted of S. H. Mc- Closkey and Rev. Dr. John M. Greene. The original board of stewards were Rev. John M. Greene, Edward Owen, James L. Ewin, now superintendent of the Foundry M. E. Sunday school, corner 14th and G streets; W. M. Clayton, G. Rowzee, W. H. Gaines, S. H. McCloskey and J. H. Thomp- son. After the officers had been selected and the church organized the subject of needed improvements was decided upon and ap- proved by a committee. During the earlier part of 1874 a small brick class room was added to the rear building, and a tower was erected on the southwest corner of the church. The interior of the church was painted, frescoed and carpeted and new pews arranged. The First Service. On the morning of March 22, 1874, the church was thrown open for public wor- ship; the dedicatory sermon being preach- ed by the Rev. Dr. W. F. Speak, then presiding elder. Rev. Dr. H. A. Cleveland, then pastor of the Foundry M. E. Church, preached at the afternoon service and at night the new pastor, Rev. Dr. L. C. Mul- ler, presided. The first service of the Sab- bath school was held under the auspices of James L. Ewin, the superintendent, with a roll call of sixty-two members. At the end of the year the roll call contained the names of one hundred and two who were active members. The offertory of the first day amounted to over $1,000, which went toward paying for the new church. A few years ago the name of the church was changed from that of the Mount Zion Methodist Episcopal Church to the Fif- teenth Street Methodist Church. Rev. Dr. J. H. Dashiell was then pastor of the church. During the pastorate of Rev. Dr. L. A. Thirlkeld the subject of aenew church was frecly discussed, insomuch that the plans had been submitted, but were laid aside and finally dropped. At the beginning of the present year the mat- ter of rebuilding was again discussed, and the plans submitted to a committe and ap- proved. The building committee consisted of Rey. Dr. W. W. Van Arsdale, Dr. P. H. Eaton, G. Rowzee,, W. H. Houghton, L. W. Funk, Miss Jenrié’ Reeder, G. G. Wohl- forth, and Dr. N. B--Shade, all officers of the church. The spacious parsonage, which was erected during’ the pastorate of Rev. J. N. Davis, will remain and be occupied when the new church, is completed. Officers and Pastors.

The work of tearing down one of the old landmarks of Washington has already be- gun, and the work of rebuilding will be pushed as rapidly as possible in ogder to open the new church by the 15th of Janu- ary, 1896. The contract for tearing down the old structure and building the new edi- fice has been awarded to W. A. Kimmel, the architect and builder. It will be a two- story building, with subbasement and cel- lar, built of pressed brick, with brownstone trimmings. Joseph C. Johnson is the archi- tect, and the plans for the new structure have been submitted and approved by the building committee. It will have a front- age of 60 feet on R street, and a depth of 90 feet. The R street entrance will be a heavy triple arch, supported on either side by clusters of stone columns. On either side of the triple-arched entrance will rise two towers, 112 and 58 feet, respectively. The corner tower will have a slate roof, with galvanized iron cornices and oval windows. In the basement will be located the Sunday school, infant class, the pas- tor’s study, the library, and two commo- dious class rooms. On the second floor will be the main au- ditorium, directly over the Sunday school room, with a seating capacity for nearly 900 persons, The gallery will be located at the south end, and the latest and best de- signed pipe organ will be provided. The building will be lighted by gas and Edison incandescent electric lights. The interior finish is to be of white pine, and the pews are to be of walnut. The five-foot embank- ment upon which the building now stands will be graded and terraced to 2% feet high, surrounded by a cement curbing. The walks around the parking will also be laid in cement. The building, when completed, will cost $30,000, and enough of the build ing will be completed to enable the serv- ices to be held in the Sunday school room within three months. During the course of construction the services will be held in the chapel of the Gunton Temple Me/ morial Church, corner 14th and R streets vorthwest, which has been placed at their disposal. —.—__. AMPHITRITE’S VENTILATION. The Report Being Carefully Examined at the Navy Department. A report regarding the ventilation of the Amphitrite, made by her captain and @ board of officers of that vessel, has been recelved by the Navy Department and is being carefully examined and investigated by the different bureaus and the board on construction. The report shows high tem- peratures in different parts of the vessel, especially in the fire and engine rooms, and in the superstructure. The question of ventilation involves not only this ship, but all of her class, and requires very care- ful examination at the department. Act- ing Secretary McAdoo says that the de- termination that will ve reached in the case of the Amphitrite will go a long way toward solving the question of ventilation of other ships. It is probable that the Amphitrite wil) be sent to the Norfolk navy yard for such improvements as may be found necessary to improye her ventila- tion. The quarters for officers on board the Amphitrite are almost untenable. —___—-e. Naval Orders. Lieut. R. H. Miner, to the Mare Island yard; Ensign W. M. Crose, from the hydro- graphic office at Savannah to the Pinta, October 10; Passed Assistant Surgeon Percy, from the Washington navy yard to become a member of the medical examining board at the navy yard; Surgeon S. H. Dickson, detached from the medical exam- ining board of the Washington navy yard and ordered to temporary duty in the bureau of medicine and surgery; Assistant Surgeon C. P. Bogg, from the Monterey home with two months’ leave; Assistant Surgeon H. D. Wilson, from the Mononga- hela to the Washington navy yard. ee The Philadelphia Inquirer Sued. State Senator Charles A. Porter of Penn- sylvania, who, with C. L. Magee, David Martin, Governor Hastings and State Chair- man Gilkeson, is leading the fight now waging in that state against United States Senator Quay, has instituted a civil suit against the Philadelphia Inquirer for libel, claiming damages in the sum of $100,000. Senator Porter also instituted proceedings for criminal libel against James Elverson, president of the Inquirer Company; James Elverson, jr., general manager, and Charles H. Heustis, editor-in-chief. ———— The Star Out of Town.
