Steps Taken at a Parish Meeting to _ Raise a Building Fund. A special meeting of St. Thomas’ parish was held yesterday. afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in the chapel, on Madison street near 18th, for the purpose of considering ways and means to raise a sufficient sum of money to complete the new church build-. ing now under construction. A goodly rep- resentation of the congregation was pres- ert. The Rev. J. A. Aspinwall, rector of the Perish, opened the meeting with prayer, after the singing of the hymn “The Church's One Foundation.” Col. George A. Woodward, senior warden of the parish, was elected chairman of the meeting, and Herbert F. Giesy was made secretary. The chairman called upon Maj. B. F. Rit- tenhouse, treasurer, to make a financial statement of the church, as the most forcible way of bringing the object of the meeting before those present. The troas- urer’s report showed the cost of the Church would be $90,000, and of this sum $27,905 had been collected. The amount paid on the work of the church building was $27,164, leaving a small balance on hand. If $25,000 can be raised. by July 1 next the vestry hope to borrow enough on the build- ing to complete the church by Christmas. Speeches were made by Col. John M. Wil- son, U. S. A.; Melville Church, Rev. J. A. Aspinwell, Rev. W..G. Ware and others, all urging hearty and systematic giving, which would place in the treasury money enough to push the work to completion. Subscripitons were then taken up to the amount of about $3,500, and subscription papers were distributed amtng those pres- ent, to be circulated among the congrega- tion and friends of the parish. The meeting adjourned, to meet on March 20, when reports will be made by those having subscription papers. : —_s—___ LOST HIS ROLL. Rather Mysterious Disappearance of Some Bank Notes, ‘s Mr. John J. Ray, manager of the Hotel Arno, figured in a very peculiar affair short- ly before 8 o'clock last evening at the cor- ner of 15th and G streets northwest, which attracted much notice at the time because of the crowded condition of the thorough- fare, many people being on their way to the grand opera and other places of amuse- ment. Mr. Ray was knocked down, sus- taining a severe scalp v.ound, and claimed that he Irst $1,000, but it developed later that $130 was more likely to be the figure said to have been purloir.ed from him. Eve witnesses to the affair say that Philip J. Mullen of Karsas City and William Mu! len, his brother, who conducts a grocery es- tablishment near Chevy Chase, were stand- ing on the corner when Mr. Ray rushed up to them and, flourishing a big roll of biils in their faces, offered to bet a thousand dol- lars to one on McKinley. Mr. Philip Mul- len directed Ray to cease bothering the pair, but, it is said, he was intoxicated and became abusive, and Mr. William Mullen pushed him aside. Ray f to the side- walk, and bystanders after noticing that he was injured, carried him into Thomp- son's drug store, about the entrance to which a large crowd assembled. Policemen Emmert and Browne were near the scene of the trouble, and William Mullen, who acknowledged that he pushed Ray, was placed under arrest and taken to the first precinct siation, where he left collateral for his appearance in court to answer a charge of simple assault. During the excitement the rail of money which had been possessed by Mr. Ray mys- teriously c'sappeared, and it was charg2d by some that one of the Mullens had taken it. Others say, however, that while lying in the drug store two well-dressed young men, apparently friends of Ray, made an examination of his pockets and relieve him of sone money and papers. id Mr. Ray was removed to the Emergency Hospital, where his injury was dressei. His wife, who was summoned, is responsible for the statement that Mr. Ray had In his pos- session $140, and not $1,000, as was at first ssuy posed. —E—E— FOUGHT IT oT. Both Men Used Knives, According to Witnesses. Walter Davis, who lives on 6th street northeast between B and C streets, and Sam Gould, whose home is at 829 14th street, appeared in Judge Miller’s court this morning, and related the cireum- stances under which they went in an alley in Southeast Washington and engaged in a ducl. It was the intention of the young man who Invited the other to fight to have a fistic combat, but witnesses said that each man had a knife, and the meeting would have had a more serious ending had net friends taken a hand in it. Sam Gould received a cut about his shoulder blade, so he claimed, and he swore out a warrant for Davis. Gould denied the statement of his adversaries that he had a knife, and Davis claimed that he used his knife after Gould had drawn a knife on him. The knife used by Davis was not in court as evidence. but Judge Miller told him that the use of a weapon in such a fight could not be countenanced. A fine of $25 or sixty days was imposed on Davis. ee TO BE INVESTIATED. The Case of 2 Young Man Arrested on Suspicion. YesterGay afternoon Precinct Detective Sutton arrested a young man named Wil- liams Brooks, whom he found on the street near 1th and F streets, and locked him up at the station on a charge of suspicion until he could further investigate the case. Private Detective McDevitt assisted Sut- ton in arresting the young man, about whom very little is known. It is charged, however, that he got various sums of money from merchants for advertising in a hook, which he had published, but the circumstances under which he got them to advertise the police deem suspicious and it is their intention to take him to court, next week. + It is alleged that when he got these ad- vertisements he represented himself to ve & student in the Georgetown College, and Wes to put in the college library these ad- vertisements, togethen: with a copy of a weekly paper. Investigation showéd that he was not a student at the college;at the time he rep- resented, so the policessay, but he did put the yea! in the Uhpery, he ether with u copy of the paper, ai fot repew the paper as he had pi ed. How he man- aged to get it in the soollege library is not knowh, but it was not/put there with con- sent of Father Richards, president of the college, for as scon as:he saw it in the li- brary he had it removed. : Brooks, the detective says, answers the description of the young man wanted ror renting rooms in boatding houses, and dis- appearing about thei'time the houses are robbed, and some of ithe boarding house People will be summoned to the station to see him. The prisoner gives his age as twenty-two years andirefuses to give the police any information concerning his iden- tity. He claimed that’ a college student named Dowd had assisted him, but this Dowd denies and Brooks is held until his conduct can be fully investigated.
