ICORNER STONE LAID The Ceremonies Yesterday at New Trinity Church. ‘ Masonic Services and an Eloquent Address by Dr. Naylor—Many Con- tributions—Those in Charge. One more Methodist Episcopal church will shortly be added to the number here, the corner stone of Trinity Church having been laid yesterday afternoon by the dignitaries of the church, assisted by the Masonic Grand Lodge of the District. The church, situated at the corner of Sth and C streets, has been described in The Star, and it will be one of the handsomest in the city. Over the foundations of the edifice a plat- form had been erected, which was hand- somely decorated with bunting and flags, old glory, of course, being most consp:cu- cus. On this platform was erected a raised stage, which was occupied by the clergy- men and members of the Masonic bodie: Among the clergymen were Bishop J. C. Hartzell, recently assigned to a diocese in Africa; Presiding Elder L. B. Wilson of this District; Kev. G. W. Hobbs, pastor of ‘Trinity M. E. Church; Rev. H. R. Naylor, D.D., Hamline M. E. ‘Church; Rev. C. W. Baldwin, Wesley M. E. Church; Rev. 0. A. Brown, Foundry M. E. Church; Rev. W. R. Stricklen, Rev. Albert Osborne, registrar of the Americaa University; Rev. G. V. Leech, Grace M. E. Church; Rev.Alexander Bielas- ki, Union M. E. Church; Rev. W. W. Van Arsdale, Fifteenth Street M. E. Church; Rev. C. O. Cook, Fletcher M. E. Church, Rev. Samuel Shannon, K Street M. E. Church; Rev. G. W. Bacchus, Methodist Protesiant Church; Rev. M. F. B. Rice, D.D., Center Street Church, Cumberland, Md.; Rev. W. G. Cassard, Twelfth Street M. E. Church; Rev. E. O. Eldridge, Waugh M. E. Chureh. The Procession. Just before the exercises commenced the music of the Mount Pleasant Fife and Drum Corps was heard approaching, and behind the youthful -musictans’ marched Washington Commandery, No. 1, Knights emplar; Columbia Commandery, No. Knights Templar; De Molay Commandery, No. 4 (mounted), Knights Templar; Orion Commandery, No. 5, Krights Templar, and the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted sens of the District of Columbia. After the Grand Lodge had been seated upon the main platform the exercises were commenced in the presence of a throng which not only filled the platforms but overflowed into the streets. The Gloria from Mozart's Twelfth Mass was rendered Jent style by the church choir, un- direction of Mr. R. R. Stratton, iss Clara Belt presiding at the organ. The ritual service was next read by Pre- siding Elder Wilson, after which the choir rendered “God’s Guardian Presence.” A prayer was offered by the presiding elder, whe also read the 132d Psalm and verses from the Ist Corinthians. Then the choir sang “The Heavens are Telling,” when stor Hobbs presented the Rev. Dr. H. R. who delivered an interesting ad- Dr. Naylor's Address. Dr. Naylor said, among other things: “The church is one of the places from which issues light to the mind of men, a teaching rostrum, perhaps not teaching the science of electricity and other sciences, but it teaches the laws of Jesus Christ. The church promotes morality. The intelli- gence of man Is of no use if it is not for the benefit of morality. It is better for a vicious man to be ignorant and in the gut- ter than for him to be intelligent. “The church is a promoter of Christ!a ity. It promotes the great scheme of say- ing souls. This is a Methodist church, and tnis thought carries with it the belief that we will have some cf the old-fashioned times of our fathers; that we will nave scme of our good old-time hymns, prayer meetings and class meetings. It is also a Methodist Episcopal church, and this means loyalty—loyalty to church and bish- op, and if that office should have been blot- ted out by conference I should have left the Methodist Church the day it was done, for 1 believe in a bishop. It means loyalty also to the itinerant idea. Contributions Made. Following the address of Dr. Naylor Pas- tor Hobbs introduced the Rey. C. L. Pate to take charge of the collection. Mr. Pate explained: “We all here believe in gold money, silver money, greenback money, and promises-to-pay money. Any kind will be acceptable, and do not hesitate for fear of the quality.” He stated that the building committee of the church had subscribed $2,600, and then In response to his entreaties the following contributions were mai A sister, $500, friend, $500; builder: W.

The amount raised yesterday was #2 Laying the Stone. During the coliection Bishop Hartzell was introduced, and he wished the church every success. Then the laying of the cor- ner stone was proceeded with by Grand Master Baird and the members of the Grand Lodge. Grand Secretary Singleton stated that there would be placed in the stone a “History of Methodism in Wash- ington,” copy of the minutes of the last session of the Baltimore conference, copy of the Methodist Discipline, copy of the Holy Scriptures, copy of the Methodist hymnal, copy of the Christian Advocate, cepy of the Baltimore Methodist, copy of the Epworth Herald, Directory of the Dis- trict Epworth League for 1506, copy of the story of the laying of the corner stone, and a list of the officia: members, copy of The Evening Star and other daily newspapers, and a copy of the temperance pledge of the Sunday School Temperance Society. ‘The articles were inciosed in a copper box, and the box was deposit:d in the stone by Assistant Grand Secretary Gatley, when the grand secretary ordered the stone test- ed by the square and level, after which the assistant grand secretary poured corn, ofl and wine on its top. Grand Baster Baird closed the ceremony by remarking: “We are Masons, and engaged under sol- emn obligation to place in positton the cor- ner stones of all public buildings, when re- quested to do so. This obligation has come down to us for ages, and the laying of this corner stone is symbolical to "13." ‘The exercises were concluded by the pro- nounemg of the benediction by Lishop Hartzell.

Other Cases Before the Judge This Morning—Shooting Crap is an Offense. It s not an unusual thing to see a dozon or more rum-soaked men scattered along 1st street at the foot of the Capitol, and the members of the Capitol police force are making every effort to get rid of them. Some of these men pretend they are guides, when, of course, they are not authorized to guide visitors through the public buildin: Others make no effort at offering an ex- cuse for being there other than to “hold up” pedestrians ard endeavor to get money for liquor. Cheap lodging houses and bar rooms get all their money gathered in this way, and when they “go broke”’ they some- times rest beneath the thick shrubbery in the grounds and depart about daybreak, as they think Lefore the arrival of the ofli- cers on their early morning rounds. But the officers are now making the rounds of the grounds before daybreak, and the re- sult is that several of the squatters have been sent down. John McHenry, tke last victim of the officers’ raid, appeared in the toils before Judge Kimball this morning on complaint of Capitol Policeman Jcyce, and to a charge of vagrancy he answered “I'm guil- ty. ‘What about this case?” the court asked. “I found him about the grounds yester- day,” the officer answered, “‘and he stood me up for a nickel. He is one of the men who hang about the grounds, hold up peo- and beg. He’s been here before.” said the court; “he's an old cus- tomer and I know him well. Sixty days.” One Woman. In the procession was a neatly dressed woman, who gave her name as Mary Har- ris, and the charge against her was dis- orderly conduct. She had been arrested in front of a house of ill-fame in the “Di- vision,” and she was under the influence of liquor at the tim a Mary, as she gave her name, Is a stranger to the police. She has not lived in the disreputable locality, and her statement fs that she only came to this city last Mon- day. “I went to Lizzie Peterson’s house last night in response to a complaint,” said Peliceman Warren, “and I found this wo- man under the influence of liquor, cursing and swearing.” “Anything else?” the court asked. “She had had trouble in the house,’ re- ponded the officer, “and had broken some rthenware.” Mary was then questioned, and she told the court that she had harmed nobod: “I do take a drink once in a while, id, “and that’s my only fault.” Do you live in that house?” sir; I just came here Monday from ork,” Did you ever live in such a house?” “No, sir; I'm a respi man, but yesterday I met a lady, and, upon her invitation, I went to this house. When we got there somebody accused me of tak- ing a pocketbook, and we had trouble.” Mary said she had never been in such trouble before, but this did not save her, for Judge Kimball fined her $5 or two weeks on the farm. The woman said she was stopping with friends, but did not want word sent to them, for she did not want them to know that she had been ar- rested. she Other Canes. Joseph Carter, a young colored man, was in the tolls on complaint of Policeman Ro- bey. “He's one of a crowd of men and boys who hang about 12th and R streets, shoot crap and use profanity,” said the police- man. “On the evening charged I saw him in a game. “He couldn't have seen me in a game,” sald the defendant, “because 1 worked on a huckster wagon until lv o'clock that night.” . Carter said he could get witnesses, but the court fined him $5. “I work hard to support my mother and myself,” said Carter, but he had to go dcwn. Policeman Gouldman had Minnie Jackson in court for no cause whatever, so the court decided. The policeman saw her standing at a clam cart, and when he asked her what she was doing there she told him: “None of your business.” “And,” said the officer, “I arrested her.” “And,’ missed.” Charles Johnson, the colored boy, ar- rested on suspicion cf having attempted to pick Policeman Pearson's pocket, was ac- quitted. adde@ the court, “the case is dis- ——_—_ ASSAULTED THE DETECTIVE. Painter Lawson Fined -for Striking Mr, Proctor. Detective Charles W. Proctor, who was so brutally treated on Christmas day while making an arrest near the corner of 7th and D streets, was violently dealt with last night, and now he has a badly discol- ored eye and swollen face. The detective was on duty at police headquarters last night, and about 11 o'clock there was a call for assistance at No. 471 C street,where it was reported there was trouble. When the officer reached the house he found a man named Lawson on the sidewalk in- dulging in some loud profanity, and when the young man refused to be quieted and go in the house he was placed under ar- rest. Then it was that he dealt the officer two stunning blows in the mouth and knocked him down. The officer's head struck the pavement and did the damage mentioned. Lawson, who is a sign painter, twenty- three years old, was then locked up. Walter Griffith, who ts the occupant of the house, ws a witness in the case, and he said that Lawson had driven him from his (Griffith's) own home. Lawson told the court today that he did not know Mr. Proctor was an officer, but thought he was a friend of Griffith’s and was going to assault him. While in the house, he said, Griffith knocked him down and choked him, and then he got a chair to use in defense of himself, and Griffith Tran away. “Lawson was crazy drunk, Detective Proctor told Judge Kimball, ‘‘and I don’t believe he knew what he was doing.” The defendant said he had only drank two bottles of beer and that he was not very drunk. For being disorderly Judge Kimball fined him $10 or thirty days, while for the as- sault a fine of $20 or sixty days was im- posed. Sign ——— ee HELD FOR THE GRAND JURY. Willinm Bell Filed His Voucher the Day Before It Was Dated. William Bell, allas John Williams, a col- ored pensioner, holding pension certificate No. 729,666, entitling him to a pension of $12 per month, was arraigned this morning before Justice Samuel C. Mills, United States commissioner, on a charge of vio- lating section No. 4746 of the Revised Statutes by presenting to the pension agency his voucher on a day anterior to that on which it was dated. The prisoner was defended by Lawyer Hicks, and prose- cuted by Mr. A. H. Semmes of the United States district attorney’s office. He was held in $300 bonds for the grand jury. The testimony showed that Bell, alias Williams, was sick on September 3, and got B. M. Hewlett, a notary public, to execute his pension voucher under the date of September 3. Mr. Hewlett admitted taking Bell’s ac- knowledgment in September 8 in the evening and dating it as being taken September 4, excusing himself on the ground that it ‘was so near to the 4th that it didn’t seem to make much difference.” The voucher was taken to the pension egency and deposited in the box.there at 11 o'clock p.m., September 3, by Bell’s son, and was immediately removed from the box by the watchman at the agency and handed to the chief clerk in the morning. When a Star reporter asked Attorney Semmes if acticn would be taken against Notary Hewlett similar to that under which Justice of the Peace Johnson was tried and held for the grand jury by Jus- tice Mills yesterday, Mr. Semmes replied that he did not think Mr. Hewlett would be prosecuted. MR. BRYAN'S COMING Meeting of the Joint Hemocratic Committee on Ratifidation. There Will Be a Big Meeting at N: tional Park,ibut No Pro- cession on:Parade. The joint committee. of the democratic organizations in the District having in charge the arrangements for the ratifica- tion of the nominations of Bryan snd Sewall, at which meeting Candidate Bryan will make an address, held a meeting last night at Meyers’ Hotel, and carried out the Program announced in The Evening Star of Tuesday. The event will take place Saturday, September 19, and as Mr. Bryan will be in Richmond that day, and it cannot be learned whether he will leave there early in the day or in the afternoon, the exact time of the meeting could not be fixed. It is probable, however, that Mr. Bryan will not reach Washington until evening, as he is booked for a spee-h in Socky Mount, N. C., on September 18, and would probably devote the morning of the 19th to his speech at Richmond, und would not reach here until too late in the afternos to address the crowd in daylight. + At the Base Ball Park. ‘The National Base Ball Park will be used for the meeting if it is held at night, as expected, and it w'Il be brilliantly illumi- nated by electricity. “fhe one hundred private boxes will be reserved for promi- nent democrats, and the seats of the grand stand will be also reserved for holders of tickets. The general public will gather in the field, and all will have an opportunity to hear Mr. Bryan, as the platform from which he will speak will be erected in the center of the diamond over the pitcher's box. At the meeting last night speeches were made vy a number of the committeemen, including Mr. William Dickson, in all of which assurances were given that there would be a full turnout of the local democ- racy, together with throngs of democrats from nearby Virginia and Maryland. The suggestion that Mr. Bryan should bave an escort of all the local organizations and clubs from Maryland a cginia did not meet with particularly favoradie co: eration, Chairman ‘Thomas B. Kalbfus ur- gently opposing a street ¢ ‘ade. The subcommittee on ilnance reported that $600 had been secured to defray the expenses of the ratification meeting ard reception to Mr. Bryan, and that many ad- ditional pledges of contributions had been received. A Conch and Four. A local livery man offered the services cf a handsome equipage, consisting of a car- riage and four white horses, to be used by Mr. Bryan during his stay in Washingtcn, and the offer was accepted. Wever's Band has been engaged for the occasion at the National Bail Park. It is probable that the railroads will be prevailed upon to adopt excursien rates for the day of the ratification meeting. ‘The committee will hold another meeting Fri- day night at Meyers’ Hotel, when the names of the prominent democrats who are to speak frem the same platform with Mr. Bryan will be announced, and the arrang ments completed for the great event. It has not yet been determined who will be asked to preside over the meeting in the place of Mr. Jonn R. McLean, who has de- clined that honor because of his inability to be in Washington at the time, poe MR. F. C. ROBERTS APPRECIATED. A Well-Known Printer ix Honored by His Fellow Crattxmen. The Association of Unemplo Printers held its regular weekly night at Typographical Temple, and the fea- ture of the gathering was the presentation of a handsomely engraved silver pitcher and salver to Mr. F. C. Roberts. The pitcher bore this inscription: “Presented to F. C. Roberts by the unemployed union printers as a mark of esteem. September 4, 1896. Washington, D. C.” | Mr. William M. Gar- rett made the presentation in some grace- ful words. He said that the gift represent- ed in a slight degree the app jation cherished by the unemployed union printers of Columbia Typographical Union of Mr. Roberts’ efforts in making the recent ex- cursion for their benefit such a flattering success. He hoped on behalf of the printers that Mr. Roberts might never know what it was to feel the necessity of accepting benefits save those natural ones that wouid {cllow © career of prosperity. Mr. Roberts wcs evidently very much embarrassed, but expressed his thanks and his surprise at the token of his fellow cranemen in a few appropriate and feeling words. _———— INTERSTATE DEMOCRATS. Enthusiastic Mecting and a Pleasant Excursion. The postponed meeting of the Interstate Democratic Association at River View last night was a great success. Fully 500 en- thusiastic democrats, accompanied by near- ly ag many ladies, made the trip to River View and filled the pavilion, whkcre the speaking took place. Engene L. Thomson was at the head of the committee of arrangements, and the following were among the prominent demo- crats on the stand and in the audience: Eugene L. Thomson, Harold Benedict, Dr. D. C. Gantsch, J. B. Campbell, D: &. A. Bryant, ex-Congressman Poindexter Duin of Arkansas, C. E. Phelps, B. F. Clayton, Captain Julian Rhodes, D. ¥ Gall, J. W. Ramsey, J. H. Turner, Major W. C. McIntyre, J. A. Edgerton, secretary people’s party committee; Franklin H. Mackey, W. T. Richardson, R. R. Beall, Major Debro, J. B. Finn, Captain W. P. Steadman, John O’Brien, J. P. Dickson and many others. The utmost enthusiasm prevailed on the trip down, at the pavilion and returning. The names of ex-Governor Flower and Bourke Cockran were hissed. Vice President D. W. Gaul called the meeting to order and introduced Colonel W. A. Bartlett of New York, formerly commander of the G. A. department of that state, to preside. Colonel Bartlett said that he had supported Harrison un- der the supposition that the republican party was going to do something for silver, but finding that it was not he had de- cided to support the Chicago nominees. He denounced the republican party as led by Mark Hanna, and said he was a Lin- coln republican. Ex-Representative E. V. Brookshire of Indiana was the leading speaker of the evening. He went into a thorough discus- sion of the issues, and predicted better times when Bryan is elected, and he felt confident that this would be the outcome of the election. Mr.iBrookshire was ap- plauded heartily. R. R. Beall was the last speaker, al- though Captain Rhodes made a_ short Speech on the return trip. ee Republican Club! Reorganized. The Republican Invincibles, which was a large and influential organization of resi- dents of Capitol Hill during the last presi- dential campaign, was reorganized last night at a meeting held at Peak’s Hall, on Pennsylvania avenue near Tth street south- east. The cfficers elected were: President, Mr. Donald McCathran; vice president, John H. Adrian; secretary, George C. Meigs; treasurer, John: E. Herrell; record- ing secretary, John H. King; financial sec- retary, William M. Bobb. President McCathran made a vigorous address, In which he urged the Invincibles to get into line and do everything in their power to get voters to cast their ballots for McKinley and Hobart.

Once again the trial of the alleged Alex- andria county policy writers and gamblers, said to be conducting business at Jackson City and vicinity, has been postponed. After several delays the cases were set for hearing before ’Squire Lane at 10 o'clock this morning. Promptly at the appointed hour. the 'squire,who is a colored man, took his seat at a table in the front room of the little shanty that does double duty as a shaving and bair-cutting “parlor” and as a court room, and equally prompt in putting in an appearance was his asscciate, Justice Pelham, a white man. Mr. Lemuel Mar- bury of Alexandria, the special attorney appointed by the governor of Virginia to prosecute the cascs against the gamblers, was on hand, as was Mr. Richard Johnson, the commonwealth attorney for Alexandria county. John C. Nelson, the former gam- bler, who swore out the warrants against the men awaiting trial, was also in the court room, anxious to proceed, and wiii him were his witnesses, Edward Whalen, Michael Hayden and Charles Auffort. Se ¢ral members of the Citizens’ League, cluding Messrs. A. S. Doniphan and Frank Lyon, who have been active in working with a view toward wiping out the gam- blers of the county, were in attendance.

Two policemen witnessed the affair, but the pedest took his misfortune goodr turediy and would not complain against the fair rider. This is why she was not ar- rested. Amasa W. Scott, a colored wheelman who did not ride over anybody, manazed to get arrested because he had no bell. He had Just bought a second-hand wheel and was on his way to a bieycle store to purchase a bell when Policeman Duvall of the t squad arrested him. In court today the officer gave the defendant a good name, and a fine of only $1 was imposed. James Hawkins had no light on his wheel last night, and when Policeman Jacobson arrested him he deposited $5 collateral for his appearance. This money was forfeited because of his non-appearanc: There was a charge of fast riding against Charles Barnard, which was nolie prossed. —_-— The finest, the best boards, only $1 per 100 ft.
