Special Dikpatch to The Evening Star. ESLTIMORE, Md., October 15.—The final meeting of the seventy-sixth annual ses- sion of the Maryland synod of the English Evangelical Lutheran Church was held at Grace Church this morning. The report of the apportionment committee was brought up for discussion. Much opposition was aroused by demand of $20,386, apportioned as the Maryland synod’s share of the amount desired by the general synod, and the debate on the report showed that the city churches, although representing only a seventh of the total number of churches in the synod, were assessed for over a third of the amount asked the synod. After many expressions of dissatisfaction, the re- rt was adopted with one dissenting vote. t was moved that President Roth appoint @ commitee of three—two clergymen and one Iayman—to confer with the apportion- ment committee and effect a readjustment of the apportionment by the next meeting of the synod. The Rev. T. G. Yost, pastor of St. Paul’s Church, Cumberland, Md., in- vited the synod to hold next year’s session in bis church. The invitation was unani- mously accepted. President Roth announced the appoint- ment of the followirg speakers and com- mittees for next year: Home missions—Rev. Rev. W. E. Parsons. Foreign missions—Rev. S. A. Hedges, Rey. C. R. Trowbridge. Ministerial education—Rev. Geo. Bowers, Rev. L. M. Beard. Church extension—Rev. Charles Eyster, J. H. Bart, Rev. H. H. Weber. Ordination sermon—Rev. alternate, Rev. Luther KuhIman.

Hunncheuse. ‘The Rev. Henry M. Cowles, chairman of the committee for auditing the treasurer’s Feport, reported that his committee had not been able to complete their work, and asked that a report might be made to the treasurer and incorporated in the minutes. This request was granted. The Rev. Dr. Domer of Washington re- turned thanks on behalf of the synod to the pastor of Grace Church and to the mem- bers of the church for their hospitality and the courtesy shown those attending the Chas.

BALTIMORE, October 15.—The Presby- terian synod of Baltimore will begin its an- nual meeting tonight at 8 o'clock in the First Presbyterian Church. The opening sermon will be preached by the Rev. F. O. Little of Washington and a large attend- ance of clergy and laity is expected. The meetings will continue Wednesday, Thurs- day and Friday. Considerable business of importance is on the program. SE CONVENTION ADJOURNS. Democrats Fail to Agree in Alexan- dria Today. Gpeclal Dispatch to The Evening Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va., October 15.-The leg- islative convention, which has been in ses- sion since Saturday morning, has at last come to the conclusion that !t cannot make @ nomination. Mr. Norton said that it was impossible to nominate a candidate before this convention, therefore they had better adjourn sine die. This mction was carried. There are now ten candidates in the field. William Coleman, colored, 1s the independent candidate; Frank Harper, pulist; L. L, Lewis, republican, and the jour candidates who were before the pres- ent convention. It ts hard to decide what will be the outcome of the situation, as there is a good deal of dissatisfaction. On the last ballot taken before adjourn- ment Mr. Andrew Lipscomb again came within an ace of being nominated. Mr. Bendheim and Mr. May endeavored to turn their votes over to him, but two May dele- gates, casting 100 votes each, refused to do so. These delegates were Mr. Vinson, the builder of St. Asaph race track, and Dr. May, the surgeon at the track. As it ‘was, on this ballot Lipscomb got his own 216 votes, 630 from ae and 281 from May, making a total of 1,127, or 35 short f enough. Barley received 092 on this lot. DEMONSTRATION AT MARLBORO’. ‘Arrival of Mr. Hurst, the Democratic Candidate. Gpecial Dispatch to The Evening Star. MARLBORO’, Md., October 15.—State Candidates Hurst, Crothers and Smith were met this morning upon their arrival on the ® o'clock train by a procession of horsemen, accompanied by a band of music, who es- eorted them around the town and to the hotel, where the candidates held a recep- tion and were introduced. The reception committee in carriages, with the mounted precession, marshaled by Capt. P. W.Chew, Btarted out of town to meet Senators Gor- man and Butler, who will drive across the country from Washington. Mr. Bernard Carter arrived on a special train from Bal- timore.

The meeting will be call- ed at 12 o'clock at the court house. ———_ AMERICAN BANKERS? ASSOCIATION. Im Session Today at Atlanta—The Cur- rency Problem Considered. ATLANTA, Ga., October 15.—The Ameri- ean Bankers’ Association began its session in the Grand Opera House this morning at 10 o'clock, with an unusually large attend- ance of de.egates and a liberal sprinkling of visitors and onlookers. The association was welcomed to the city by Mayor Porter King and to the state by @ Gunby Jordan, president of the State Bankers’ Association, in brief addresses. To these words of welcome President John J. P. Odell responded in behalf of the Visiting bankers, and delivered his annual Qddres: President J. J. P. Odell, in his annual ad- Gress, suggested that the constitution be Bo amended as to permit state organizations to be represented in the body in the propor- tion of one delegate to every fifty members, d that the executive council be instructed undertake measures to encourage the formation of associations in those states Rot already supplied. He urged this for the eason that State organizations were in tter position than a national body to se- gure needed state legislation. Attorney Duprey’s Continued ness Makes It Necessary. A Longer Postponement Than to Next Monday in Not Expected—Working Up: Rebuttal Testimony. SAN FRANCISCO, October 15.—Another pestponement in the Durrant trial will be asked for by Attorney Dickinson today. The continued illness of Attorney Duprey has made this step necessary, and Juige Murphy will undoubtedly grant the request. Duprey is considerably worse with rheu- matism than he was on the day when he was last seen in the court room, and it is more than likely that it will be a week or so before he will be able to resume his place in the trial. It is hardly likely that Judge Murphy will grant a postponement for as much as a week at the present stage of the proceed- ir.gs. except for anything but an absolute necessity. For just what time Dickinson will ask an adjournment he does not know, but most likely it will be till next Monday, when, if Duprey dces not show signs of speedy recovery, Dickinson and Thompson will have to go on with the case themselves, The defense has cnly a few more wit- nesses. After disposing of young Lenahan the rebuttal will be rapidly approached, and the end of the trial can be calculated by days. In anticipation of the speedy announce- ment of the resting of the defendant's case, District Attorney Barnes and his first as- s.stant, Edward Peixoto, are whipping their rebuttal testimony into shape and order, so that it can be placed before the jury with even more celerity than their case in chief. pee tee eee MANY CARRIERS MUST GO. Cliarges Against the Postmen of Chicago. CHICAGO, October 15.—A special to the Times-Hezald from Washington says that the mail which left Washington last night for Chicago carried notifications from the first assistant postmaster general to 173 letter carriers in Chicago that charges have been filed against them sufficient to cause dismissal from the service, and they were given ten days to show cause why they should not be removed. Dercliction of a most serious nature has been discovered among the letter carriers, Even subordinate officials of the office have been caught in the net. a Se THE SUPREME COURT. Motions Heard From Attorneys for the Advancement of Cases. The Supreme Court today heard many motions from attorneys, a majority of them for the advancement of cases or the docket. The government moved to advance the case of Judge Charles D. Long agt. Pen- sion Commissioner Lochren, involving the right of the commissioner of pensions to reduce his pension. ——_—_+ 2+____ LIQUOR CASES. The Gassenheimer Affair Gets Back Into the Police Court. Prosecuting Attorney Pugh had four cases of alleged violations of- the liquor law to be tried by jury in the Police Court today. In one case James L. O'Connor was defendant, the charge against him being keeping open after hours. The defendant withdrew his demand for a jury trial, and had judge Miller dispose of the case. He showed beyond any question that he was in the bar to get some port wine for a sick nephew and the case was dismissed. Joseph Gatto, charged with a similar of- fense, was acquitted by a jury. It was shown that he was in his place at 12:15 a.m. fixing his cash register. James P. Brahany, similarly charged, was convicted and fined $50 and costs. The Gassenheimer Case. The case of Samuel Gassenhelmer, charged with selling liquor to minors was the last case called. This case was tried last year and was remanded to the Police Court from the Court, of Appeals. Lawyer C. Mauricé Smith represented the defendant. ——— FUNERAL OF COL, J. J. BROOKS. Tribute to His Worth by Dr. S. H. Greene at Calvary Church. The funeral of the late Col. James J. Brooks took place this afternoon at 2 o'clock at Calvary Church, corner of 8th and H stréets. Long before the hour when the fureral procession should arrive from the house, where Dr. S. H. Greene con- ducted brief services, the spacious assembly hall of the church was filled with a gath- ering of old friends and acquaintances of the deceased and his family. The services at the church opened with singing by the full choir of the church, who sang “Abide With Me.” Rev. J. J. Muir of E Street Baptist Church offered prayer, and the choir sang “Lead, Kindly Light.” ‘There was a large number of the rela- tives of Colonel Brooks present accompany- ing the immediate family, among whom were Mrs. Brooks, the widow; Mr. and Mrs. A.

Very Little Doubt of a Manslaughter In- dictment. ‘The Tragedy Which Brought Grict to Two Familics—In Case of a Conviction, It’ was virtually admitted today by an official of the District Supreme Court hav- ing cognizance of such matters that The Star was correct in intimating yesterday that the grand jury had determined to charge Miss Elizabeth M. Flagler with manslaughter for killing Ernest Green, a small colored boy, on the 2d of last August. Jvst when the indictment of the young wo- man had been decided upon the official was unable to state, but that it had been he said he could no longer deny, nor could he State when the indictment would be pre- sented in court, but some day during the present week he was reasonably certain. The officials in the district attorney's office when questioned today by a Star reporter were non-committal in the matter, al- though they would not deny that they had been informed by the grand jury that an indictment of Miss Flagler for manslaugh- ter had been decided upon. The drawing up of the formal indictment will be, jt is said, a matter requiring neither any great length of time nor any voluminous docu- ments, and hence it is not at all improb- able that the indictment will be presented in a day or so. The Tragedy. The boy was killed by Miss Flagler on the morning of Friday, the 2d of last August, at the home of her father, Gen. Flagler, of the army, California avenue and Columbia road. That morning the little fellow ac- companied a number of his friends to the suburbs to play ball. They stopped, it is clsimed, in front of Gen. Flagler’s resi- dence, and it is contended by Miss Flagler’s friends that the boys proceeded to help themselves to the fruit hanging on her father’s trees and lying on the ground. The young woman at the time was in an upper room of the house, and, seeing the crowd, she imagined, it is claimed, that they were the same boys who had previously robbed the garden. Taking -up a small revolver the young woman fired twice, but not, it is asserted by her friends, with the intention of firing in the direction of the boys. But, unfortunately, one of the bullets struck the Green boy in'the body, and he fell to the ground. Miss Flagler had the little fellow carried into the house, and did all in her power to save his lite, but he died in a few minutes’ time. ‘The young woman at once drove to police headquarters and surrendered herself to Maj. Moore. She was detained until the inquest was held that evening. The ver- dict of the coroner's jury was that the boy died at the hands of Miss Flagler, and the formal verdict concludea as follows: “We do not believe that sie did it with murderous intent. We believe that the shots were fired carelessly and indifferently, but from the evidence we cannot hold her.” An Indictment. Miss Flagler was thereupon released from custody, but several days later was required to give a bond of $10,000 to await the action of the grand jury. last week District At- torney Birney presented the case to the grand jury, and that body examined some tweAty-three witnesses, including the boy’s companions and the servants of Gen. Flug- jer. = Upon the return in court of an indiérment against Miss Flagler, she will be required to come into court and plead, and then a day for the trial will be set. Mr. R. Koss Perry is her counsel, and it will be contend- ed, it is said, that the killing of the boy was accidental. ‘The penalty for manslaughter is Imprisonment not exceeding ten years and a fine not exceeding $1,000. So that should the unfortunate young woman be convicted, the court could impose a sen- tence as light as an hour's imprisonment and a fine as small as one cent. oe NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY.

Great satisfaction is felt by the board at the continued success of the society, as shown by the lease of Metzerott Hall for the evening and afternoon lectures. The rext lecture is by Mr. Ernest Flagg, on the “Development of the Mediaeval Ca- thedral,” and it will be beautifully illus- trated by lantern slides. In fact, almost all the lectures will be illustrated, as was the case last year, when they were so suc- cessful. en INQUEST TODAY. Looking Into the Death of Ollie Taylor. Owing to Inability to secure the attend- ance of certain witnesses, the inquest over the remains of Ollie Taylor (colored), who died at the Emergency Hospital Sunday from the effects of a blow, it is claimed, struck by John Lucas, was not held yes- terday afternoon, as announced would be the case. Coroner Hammett postponed the investigation until 3 o'clock this afternoon at the seventh precinct police station. Dr. L. W. Glazebrook, the deputy cor- oner, performed an autopsy on the remains yesterday, and, in his opirion, death was due to a blow on the head. sag eS Verdict Set Aside. William Ghio, a small boy, was run over by a Washington and Georgetown railroad car at ist street and Pennsylvania avenue on the 8d of June, 1891, and was almost instantly killed. As the administrator of his estate Francis I. McLane sned the road, claiming $10,000 damages. ‘Today the jury returned a verdict against the road for $2,000, and Judge Bradley imme- diately set it aside, on the ground that it was excessive and unreasonable. The damages were claimed because of the alleged loss to the boy's father of his earn- ings, but it transpired that the little fel- low’s parents lived apart, and that the boy gave his earnings not to his father, but to his mother. ————————— Her Will Filed. The will of the late Amelia Greenfield, dated September 19, 1895, filed today, names her husband, Thomas Greenfield, as execu- tor, and makes him sole beneficiary, provid- ed he pays to Ella Waters, the daughter of the testatrix’s former husband, one-fourth of the proceeds from sale of the real estate. ——.—_ Grain and Cotton M.rkets.

THE NEW culpa GAS CERTIFICATES Effect of the Application to List Them. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS ——— Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, October 15.—As the result of an improved professional demand this morning stock values were forced beyond the fractional Mmits which have of late served to reflect the day's varlations in prices. The railway shares were accorded the bulk of the attention, the granger group in particular profiting by the charac- ter of the trading. The st2ady accumula- tion of Northwest by a prominent operator, besed on an estimated increase of some- thing over $600,000 in September earnings, had a beneficial effect on the neighboring members of the group, all of which record- ed substantial advances. St. Paul responded more slowly than the others, however, probably as the result of its suscepubility to foreign influences’ and the fact that a large outside speculative enterprise is about to adopt a new favorite. ‘Bhe temporary cessation of all business at intervals throughout the day empha- sized the fact that the general character of the market had not improved in pro- portion to values. The volume cf com- mission buying was extremely small, and upon this fact almost exclusively is based what little pessimistic feeling there is in the street. Realizing sates in a dull market, no mat- ter what the cause prompting them may be, are almost sure to force concessions in stock values. The application to Hst the new certin: cates of the Chicago Gas companies h a beneficial effeet on the price of the sto this morning, a fair volume of businéss on which both accounts were represented adding 1 per cent to first prices. A reduction in certain grades of refined sugars was announced during the day, but had no material influence on the price of the stock, which holds well around the present level, without attracting much business. The market for foreign exchange is de- seribed as being steady to firm, as the re- sult of rather small off2rings of bills. The demand is not urgent, however, and rates are not expected to advance significantly in_consequence. The trading of the last hour was dull and inclined somewhat toward irregularity. In the railway list Northwest continued to be the feature at the highest level of the day, the buying improving in character as the advance progressed. ) SE —_—~— FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
