ST. ANDREW'S PARISH Oongregation to Worship in the New Oburch Building Next Sunday. Description of the Handsome New Edifice at the Corner of Corcoran and 14th Streets. The congregation of St. Andrew's Protest- ant Episcopal Church Sunday next for the first time will worship in its new and beauti- ful edifice,just being completed,at the south- east corner of 14th and Corcoran streets northwest. The corner stone of the new church was laid with appropriate ceremonies Sunday, July 1, 1894, and since that time work on the structure had keen rapidly pushed, until tow the congregation is the proud possessor of a church that combines in a remarkable degree both beauty’ and convenience. The régular services of the Episcopal Church will be followed next Sunday, no effort being made in the way of a special program. It was expected that the bishop of Maryland would conduct the services, preach the ser- mons and also welcome the parishioners to the new building and congratulate them on their home. Rev. J. B. Perry, the pastor of the church, however, received a communica- tion today from the bishop announcing that the duties of the general convention have become very pressing, and it may be that he cannot keep his promise to be at St. An- drew's Sunday. The services will take place at 7:50, 9 and 11 o'clock in the morning and at 7:20 In the evening. The New Church Building. The lines of the building just completed are, externally, simple and pleasing, being Gothic in style. The gable ends on Cor- coran and 14th streets mark the aisle and transepts, and their intersection is accented by the introduction of a lantern thirty-four feet square, the finial of which is 105 feet above the grade line. Trefoil windows give Nght and ventilation. The building is con- structed of selected red brick, laid in red mortar above the water table, and below that point the walls are faced with Seneca quarry-faced red sandstone. All the trim- mings above the water table are of terra cotta of the same color as the brick, while the crestings and finials are of copper. The large windows on the north and west gables afford a magnificent opportunity for the display of stained glass. The tints of the glass and interior decorations are sapphire tcres, the colors of St. Andrew's, and are among the beautiful things about the new structure. Both gas and electric lighting are provided for, and the building is warmed by hot water. Interlor Arrangements. At the floor line the plan of the building forms a parallelogram seventy-two by one hundred and twerty feet. The principal en- trarce is from Corcoran street through dou- ble doors into a spacious vestibule. At the west end of this vestibule is located an en- trance from lith street and from the east end are the stairs leading to a gallery, which extends over the central portion of the vestibule. In the south end of the building the chancel and altar are placed. On the west of and communicating with the chancel is the robing room, and over the robing room is the rector’s study. To the €est of the chancel and opening on to it ard on to the main body of the church, through large arch openings, is the organ, with a large space in front of it for the ac- cemmodation of the choir of sixteen or more. The west wall of the old structure forms the east wall of the new building, and has been cut away, so as to form a communication between the old and new edifices, but which may be shut off by means of glats panel doors when extra space Is not required. The floor is sloped frem the vestibule to the chancel, and the or ly thing to intercep* the view are the pil- lars leading to the lantern. The new church will seat about 1,000 persons, though pews to accommodate 500 more may be utilized by opening the doors separating the new structure from the old. The pews are divided by a center and two side aisles. The altar, a beautiful conception of Paris- ian onyx and marble, is the gift of Mrs. Dr. Parry, as a memorial to her parents. The pulpit was donated by the Young Ladies’ Society of the church. Thus far but one memorial window has been eected, it being directly above the altar, and supplied by Mrs. Fred. T. Burger. —— SUING HER DIVORCED HUSBAND. Henrietta Bench Seeks to Set Aside a Real Estate Sale. Henriette Beach, who secured a divorce from Frank L. Beach on the 25th of last June, today filed a bill in equity,-by Attor- neys Padgett and Forrest, against the said Frank L. Beach and others to set aside a sale of sub lot 153, square lot 13 and part of lot 14, square 468. Mrs. Beach states that the first named lot was de2ded to her by her husband (Beacn) January 6, 1892, and that November 17, 1892, they gave a deed of trust on the three pieces of prop- erty for $6,000, it being agreed and under- stood between them that the piece deeded to her would not be sold unless a sale of the remaining two pieces failed to realize a sum sufficient to meet the amount of the trust. She claims that because of default in meeting the payments under the deed, of trust lots 13 and 14 were sold at public sale to Ellen Walsh for $1,000 on the 10th in- stant, and that on the same day lot 153 was sold to Mary J. Kennedy for $1,650. She insists that the sales were irregularly, informally and illegally advertised, and that the property was sold at figures too low. She therefore prays that the sales may be set aside; that the Oriental Build- ing Associaticn, No. 6, the beneficiary un- der the deed of trust, may discover the amount due by Beach; that John Walter, jr., the trustee, may be restrained from conveying the lots to the respective pur- chasers, and that the title to lot 153 may be decreed to be in her. The petition was presented to Judge Bradley, who granted a temporary restrain- ing order, returnable October 1. pee EES ‘Turned Over to the Children’s Guar- dians.

A well-marked area of low pressure Is central north of Montana, and the barometer has fallen generally to the west of the Mississippi. It is decidedly cooler from the lake regions eastward to the Atlantic coast, the tem- Ferature having fallen ten to twenty de- grees. It is about ten degrees warmer west of the Mississippi. The excessive heat conditions continued Monday throughout New England, the mid- dle and south Atlantic and east gulf states, with maximum temperatures from two to ten degrees above the record of any pre- vious vears for the third ten days of Sep- tember. Following are some of the highest temperatures reported, viz.: Norfolk, 100; Washington and Raleigh, 98; Boston, Al- bany, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Lynchburg and Charlotte, 96; New York city, Harris- burg, Wilmington and Augusta, 4 degrees.

His Starring Tour Begun Under Very Favorable Auspices. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. WILMINGTON, Del., September 24.—Of perticular interest to Washirgton and Washington theater goers was the opening at the Grand Opera House here last night of Charles B. Hanford’s second starring tour—this seascn with Mr. Elihu R. Spencer and Miss Nora O’Brien, his joint stars and a competent supporting company, compos- ed largely of Washington talent. The play chcesen for the opening night was Shakes- peare’s “The Merchant of Venice,” and al- theugh, as Mr. Hanford expressed It, “it is hardly Shakespeare weather,” there was & full house to greet the play, which was beautifully staged and ably presented. Applause was frequent, and a curtain call was demanded after each climax. Mr. Han- ford expresses himself as being particularly pleased with such a successful beginning. WHAT IS GOING ON IN MEXICO. Permission Granted for a Prize Fight in Hidalgo. MEXICO CITY, September 24.—Governor Cravioto of the great mining state of HI- dalgo has, at the solicitation of the resi- dent English miners, granted permission for a prize fight in that state, taking the ground that the English are entitled to their national sports and play, as they do not care for bull fights. The Mexican Herald comes out against the proposed missionary crusade against the Virgin of Guadaloupe, saying that as the Americans and English Protestants are enjoying the hospitality of the country, it is manifestly improper to criticise the cher- ished beliefs of the masses of the Mexican people. It is reported that the American minister has succeeded in dissuading the missionaries from their contemplated ac- tion. El Nartola continues {ts advocacy of the annexation of Cuba to Mexico, in which several other very important daily papers Join. E, El Nariola says the attitude of the Ameri- can minister, Mr. Ransom, and Consul Gen- eral Crittenden regarding the missionary crusade against the Virgin of Guadaloupe entitles them to the gratitude of the Mex!- can Catholics. Theodore W. Noyes of Washington, D. C., is here. ‘A telegram from San Luis states that the Englishmen in control of the . Guadal Caesar mines, on being summoned to sur- render possession of the property to rep- resentatives of the shares amounting to $200,000, resisted the authorities with arms and holsted the British flag, defying the local officers to enter the property. ‘This is a quicksilver mine, owned in London, regarding which there has been trouble, and was recently organized in London. ‘News from Belize is alarming. The Chan Santa Cruz Indians are reported providing themselves with modern weapons, and an abundant supply of ammunition, and all traders are making money out of this trade, an American merchant being especial- ly active in this business. The Indians now propose to fight Mex- ico to recover their lands and to hold their present strong places. The continued aid given the Indians-in Belize by the British colonists is viewed with indignation by the Yucutan people, who consider it almost equivalent to an act of war. NEBRASKA SNOWS MBLTING. A Warm Sun Succeeds the Recent Cold Wave. OMAHA, Neb., September 24.—The warm sun has wiped out trace of Sunday’s snow and the heavy frosts of the same nighi. ‘The snow was quite general throughout the state. The damage was confined to flow- ers. A very few pieces of late corn were slightly nipped, but the Ices in this direc- ticn is so limited as to be unimportant. Ccrn was so rapidly matured by the torrid winds of the past ten days that husking was commenced in meny parts of the state teday. ——_—.—__- CHINA PAYS. Thirty Million Taels of Silver to Go to Japan.

PHILADELPHIA, September 24.—Albert Duley, alias Ford, alias Sutton, of Birming- ham, England, was arrested here today on a warrant sworn out by the British consul at New York, charging him with forgery, and, after a hearing, he was committed to prison to await the action of the New York authorities. Duley is sald to be wanted in Birmingham for altering the karat marks on gold arti- cles, thereby increasing their selling price. He is described as an expert manufacturing jeweler and diamond setter. The English police say he is an adept at changing karat marks on jewelry and has operated exten- sively in England. In June last the superintendent of the Birmingham police came to this country in search of Duley, and visited many of the principal cities, but did not succeed in lo- cating him. Later Duley’s wife sailed for this country to join her fugitive husband. An English detective came over on the same steamer with her and followed her to Prov- idence, R. I., where she succeeded in eluding him. A few days ago’ the Birmingham authorities were informed that Duley was hiding in this city, and steps Were at once taken to secure his arrest,’ whith was ac- complished today. 3 MAINE. ao They Ave Spreading Rapidly and Much Excitement Prevails. PHILLIPSBURG, Me., September 24.— Three dangerous forest fires tare raging within sight of this town, and ‘much valu- able timber has been destroyed.” The fire Is spreading rapidly, and much, excitement prevails. In Pleasant valley, in Avon, a strip of woodland about three:miles long and a mile wide has been burned over, and several farm buildings are reported de- stroyed. Other farm property 4s in great darger. MEE At Bragg’s Corner, just north of Phillips, another dangerous fire is burning, and still another fire has started within a mile of this village. Large numbers of men are fighting the fires, but with little effect. —_—.__ OSCAR WILDE'S DEBTS. FOREST FIRES I) They Amount to Over $15,000, With No Assets.

The superintendent of charities today made the following additional report in the case of the complaint of Mrs. Turner against the German Asylum: “Yesterday afternoon I visited Mrs. ‘Turner and her little son, George, at her residence in Georgetown. The boy ac- knowledged that he had been beaten by his sister, as described in my report of Satur- day, and that he had told his older brother that his sister had hurt him. He also said that he had not told his mother about his sister striking him becavse he was afraid his sister would be punished for it. He was very reluctant to admit that he had told a falsehood about Superintendent Ermold, but he was unable to consistently describe the time, place or cause of the alleged whipping. I left the house understanding that the mother and sen would appear at the inguiry in the evening. This they failed to do.” Building Permits. Building permits issued today were as follows: R. R. West, to make general repairs to frame dwelling cn Bunker Hill road near Queen’s Chapel, North Brook- land, to cost $800; Martha Widdicombe, to build a rear addition to 834 13th street northwest, to cost $1,100.
