The Japanese legation robbery case was heard in the Police Court today, the four prisoners—Harry Stewart, Charles Stew- art, William Mullen and Edward Fields— being charged with burglary. The warrant charged the theft of about $800 worth of property. Detective Weedon was in court with a satchel containing the jewelry, and the sec- retary of the Japanese minister was in court as a witness. ‘The young men were arraigned, and they plead guilty Judge Miller heard the statements of the minister's secretary and Detective Wee- don, and held the prisoners in $1,000 for the action of the grand jury While the prisoners were held at the po- lice station they showed keenly their ¢ tment at gettin; that they did not get what they ted, They thought that Minister Ku- rino had $10,000 in his bureau, and they had intended taking a trip to Atlanta with the money. Instead of going south it is likely that they will take a trip in the opposite direc- tion at government expense. Dr. McKim and the Bishopric. To the Editor of The Ev have seen from time to time during the recent sessions in Minneapolis of the Kpis- copal general convention some most extra- ordinary statements in our papers involving the name of my honored brother clergyman, @ Rev. Dr. R. H. McKim, in connection ith the episcopate of our new diocese. From my close perscnal knowledge of his high character and peculiarly sensitive s of honor, and feeling a great wrong was being done him, and suspecting a disguised hostility to be at the bottom of it, communi- cated with him, laying before him clippings of {tems which were sent to this city from Minneapolis and Richmond, Va. An immediate reply by telegram, followed by a letter, expressed his pain and surprise as well as, at the time, his utter ignorance of what was being done with his name in connection with the new bishopric, he never having spoken a word nor written a line in reference to himself in such a connec- tion, adding that the use of his name by any one in that relation had never been for a moment authorized by him. I recall a conversation with him some months ago, while we were walking 1 gether, when I casually remarked that “his name would doubtless be used among others for our new bishopric,” to which he at once replied. that “concerning that subject he would absolutely have nothing to say or do,” and it was at once dropped. In the interest of that fairness which every honorable person counts sacred, and there- fore to prevent all misrepreseatacion, I am nin SI constrained to place this communication in your columns and thus protect a Christian gentieman, whom to know 1s to honor and every quality that adorns the » and courteous, and withal, un- g, modest man. That the name of Dr. McKim should at this very time the Re : have been brought into great prominence in the whole church is no fault of his. Gu ding church papers, the Southern Church- man, the Church Standard and the Church- man, have mentioned his valuable services and ‘his able arguments in the debates of our nt general convention. In the Church Standard the editor of that paper emp the doctor’s services. But to have put himself into promineace for our new bishopric, such a course for the Rev. Dr. McKim, never! GILBERT F.

Church, which is to be erected at thp, cofper of B, 14th street and North Caroling. ayenue northeast. A number of ministers hve been invited by the pastor, Rev. 4@Im /R. Johnston, to be present and takeTpaft in the exercises. ! Among these are Rev. J. H. Robeson, Rev. P. H. Green, Catonsville, Md., Rev. D. P. Seaton, Rev. J. C. MeCaby and Rev. J. T. Jenifer. Addresses are expected from Lishop J. W. Gaines, Rev. John H. Collett and Rov. D. P. Seaton. The colored Free Masons will officate in laying the stone. The new building will be built of brick, with stone trimmings. It will be 40x00 feet, and will be two stories high. he first stcry will be used for Sunday school pur- peses, and above will be the auditorium. The building was designed by B. Stanley Simmons, architect, and the contract for censtruction has been awarded to Collins & lee. The important work connected with the erection of the edifice is in the bands of a building committee, consisting of B. H. Davis, J. W. Walkins, T. Enis, George Lucas and J. Cooper. The pastor of the church, Rev. Mr. Johnston, has only Leen in his present position a few months, Lut his labors have met with so much suc- cess that it was found possible to enter upen the construction of a new church building. —_—-—__ JOHN SANFORD'S END. The Coroner's Jury Decides Death Was Natural. ‘The coroner’s jury ‘hich assembled at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, as stated in The Star, to determine the cause of death of John M. Sanford, the government print- ing oflice watchman who died a fortnight ago under suspicious circumstances, in an unexpectedly brief pericd returned a verdict to the effect that Sanford came to his death from natural causes, and held no ore responsible therefor. But three witnesses were examined, Dr. Crosson, who attended Sanford; Dr. Dorset, chemist of the Agricultural Department, alyzed the contents of the stomach of the deceased, and Dr. Glazebrook, the deputy coroner. The testimony of Dr. Cros- was that he saw Sanford while ill and B a death certificate. Dr. Dorset de- scribed how he found arsenic in the con- tents of the stomach and also easily detect- ed the presence of the poison in the em- balming fluid used to preserve the body. Dr. Glazebrook, who made the autopsy, stated emphatically that Sanford had been afflicted with varions dikeases, and that the embalming fluid passed to all parts of the body, including the brain. According to Dr. Glazebrook, if the deceased had been given an irritant poison, his stomach would have been burned, whiclt was Not the case, as the autopsy disclosed. + Because of the early conclusion reached by the jury, the, Sanford relatives, who were in attenlancé at the inquiry, were not en an opportunity to testify. Mrs. Crup- per, who married ‘Sanford a few days be- fore his demise, remained outside of the undertaking establishment in a carriage, but was represented by Attorney J. M Dowell Carrington.. Tne attorney, it 1s said, was-armed with copjes pf court records and wther Jegal documents to prove that Mrs, Rose Sanford of New. York, who claimed to be the first wife of the dead man, was not his lawful spouse. i Rose Sanford, who That was also jn-attendange, Had in her posse: sion a marrlage certificate and letters w ten by Sanford to her, with which she in- tended to overcomg «the allegations that inight be made by the attorney for Mrs. Crupper. It is. now. claimed that Mrs. Stcckholm married Sanford under that name, when her name in reality was Close, and that she was the wife of a man known as Jerome B. Close, who later secured a divorce from her. The rext step in the matter will probably be litigation in the civil courts between Mrs. Stockholm and Mrs. Crupper to de- termine who is entitled to the property left by Sanford. ——__ HER WARDROBE. ‘The Man ‘Suspected of Robbing an Actress. Miss Annie St. Tel, from Brooklyn, whose trunk was taken. from the Grand Opera House Saturday night after her employ- ment with the “1 ” company ceased, as printed in yesterday's Star, was a witness in the Police Court today against Wash- ington Gordon, the colored man who was arrested yesterday for the alleged theft. The charge against him was grand larceny. For six years Gordon has been employed as watchman at the theater, and he made realment of the fact that he had the n his possession when the officers upon him, Detective Rhodes, who made the inves gation in the case, had in court a handson pink dress as a sample of the contents of the trunk, and Miss St. Tel identified the garment. Miss St. Tel told ef the inconyenience to which she had been put by thé taking of ' trunk. She is now playing with the Twentieth Century Girl.” The privone>, in his own behalf, told the court that Saturday night he found the broken trunk beneath the stage, and he tock it home for safe keeping. He denied that ine had any intention of keeping the trurk or any of its conterts. Miss St. Tel told the court that there was ncthing missing from the trunk. Lawyer Holland made an earnest plea in behalf of his client, for whom, he said, he was appearing as a matter of charity. He was convinced that his client was innocent. Judge Miller said he was not isfied with the explanation, and held Gordon in se security for the action of the grand ery. — Dr. Talmage’s Installation. Rev. Dr. Sunderland, the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, has issued a card, extending a cordial invitation to the pastors and friends of the Presbyterian and other churches, to be present at the in- stallation of Rev. Dr, Talmage as co-pas- tor of the church, at 7:30 o'clock this even- ing. The exercises will be, participated in by the various Presbyterian pastors who were designated to perform this duty at the last meeting of the Washington city presbytery.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Notes of Interest About Persons and Things Across the Oreek. Wharves Constructed by Street Rail- way—Personal Jottings and Church Happenings. Faith Tent of Rechabites held a meeting last night at Odd Fellows’ Hall and wound up with an oyster roast, to which friends had been invited. Many members of Co- lumbia and Heber tents were present. An interesting time was the result of the prep- arations. Faith Tent is flourishing nu- merically and financially and has recently purchased handsome regalias for the offi- cers, After the main part of gastronomic feast had been indulged in there were ad- made by John Weich, O.

Wharves Constructed. The Georgetown and Tenleytown Rail- road Company have nearly completed their wharf extension. Two or three more days will only be required. The extension has been effected through the kindness of Messrs. J. G. Waters, F. L. Moore and John A. Baker, who have given a right of way over their property bordering the river. The objective points of the com- pany are the wharves of Mr. H. P. Gilbert, west of %2d street. Here are heing landed the many thousand yards of sand, gravel, etc., to be used at Tenleytown in the Fort Reno reservoir construction. Coal and other such commercial stuff will also be carried from these wharves. Six new gravel cars have been purchased by the railroad company. For School Purposes. The large Birch house, at the northeast corner of 29th and P streets, long the home of Gen. Sawtelle, has been rented for public school purposes. It is expected that three of the lower grades will be accom- rodated. Both the lower and upper stories of the house wil! he occupied. The school will probably be opened by next Monday or Tuesday. This building has been rented in lieu of the Gay Street Sunday school chapel, arrangements for which could not be perfected. The Birch house has many advantages for school use over the chapel. Better Conditions. Cool weather, which hzs largely prevent- ed evaporation of the water in the feeding streams, and some little rain have nad an improving effect on the river and canal. Day before yesterday fifteen boats were loaded at Cumberland and sent townward, though but half cargoes were put on. Tne present drought h been one of the most effective ones that have ever afflicted the canal region. From the 2d until the 10h of October not a boat was loaded. On the 10th, 11th and 12th a few short cargoes were sent down, and then a shutdown was again necessary until the 19th. Notes. The Mt.

Columbla Lodge of Perfection, No. 1, of the Scottish Rite, gave a reception and smoker last night in the music hall at Masonic Temple. The object of the recep- tion was a mark of respect to the grand officers of the Sovereign Grand Encamp- ment of the Scottish Rite of the United States. Fully 500 Masons of high and low Cegree were present and participated in the exercises. Granville A. Frambes, a member of the Supreme Council, was the first speaker.
