CUMBERLAND, Md., October 11, 1896. The first item for consideration at the morning session of the Lutheran synod of Maryland, yesterday, according to the regu- lar order, was the report of the treasurer, Mr. W. H. James of Baltimore. His books show receipts for the year amounting to 930.70, an excess over those of 1805 of Of this amount $1,958.53 was con- for beneficiary and education, 19 for home missions, $3,154.14 for 6 for foreign missions. All of this was paid over to the different boards and by them disbursed. The report occasioned great surprise, as a deficit was rather expected, owing to the depressed condition of finances, and the struggle with every individual congregation connected with synod to meet local ex- penses. The report was referred to the auditing committee, of which Mr. George Ryneal, jr., of Washington is a member. The next on the regular order was the election of delegates to the general synod, which meets next year in Mansfield, Ohio. It is safe to say that this election took more time and many more ballots than any for a number of years, This synod is en- titled to sixteen delegates to the general body, eight of which are clergymen and the other eight laymen. Those elected were: Clergymen—Kevs, M. L. Beard, W. H. Dunbar, D. D., M. Valentine, D. D., J. . Butler, D. D.,,8. A. Hedges, T. J. Yost, G. W. Miller, D. D., and George S. Bowers, 2 brother of the pastor of St. Mark’s of Washington, D. C. The laymen elected are: Albert F. Fox, A. D. Albert and Cornelius Eckhardt of ‘Washington, D. C., and J. L. Bikle, Dr. G. T. Motler, Senator-elect George L. Wellington, E. H. Sharretts and F. W. Kakel. There was little else doue during the entire day, synod adjourning an hour earlier to accept an invitation of the electric railroad company to a trip to South Cumberland, principally to see the improve- ments made there by the B. and O. Rail road Company, and the new Lutheran mis sion, organized recently by the church at which synod is holding conventions. The editor of the publication society, Rev. Charles S. Albert, D. D., made a report for the society and reviewed the work for the past, lay.ng particular stress on the Sun- day school literature published moathly, and which has reached an enormous cir lation. He emphasized the importance of patronizing the literature of the church to a greater extent than has been given in the past, calling attention to the fact thai the profits of the society went largely to the benevolent objects of the church. The trustees of the Loysville Orphans’ Home, Revs. A. H. Studebaker, D. D. and W. H. Dunbar, D. D., of Baltimore, Md., reported for that institution. At present the home is caring for more orphan chil- dren than ever before in {ts history. The Deaconess Home, located at Baiti- more, and one of the youngest institutions of the church, came in for its share of in- terest, and many were the experiences re- lated of the noble work of the deaconesses now fn the home. The interest in this in- stitution is constantly on the increase, as evidenced by the many questions concern- ing the work and the anxiety to secure these deaconesses for parish work. As yet the board in control of this institution can- not grant these requests, because of the rules requiring a two years’ course of train- ing. In the evening an address on foreign mis- sions was delivered by Rev. S. A. Hedges. The large church was again filled, many being unable to gain admission. All of the pulpits of the city were filled today, both morning and evening, by the visiting clergymen. This evening the or- dination services took place at St. Paul's Church, at which Rev. John C. Bowers, pastor of St. Mark’s, Washington, D. C. and Rev. Marion J. Kline, now of Harris- burg, and who recently wedded one of St. Paul's girls, were ordained. At this ser- vice Revs. S. Domer, D. D., and George S. Bowers assisted, the ordination sermon be- ing preached by Rev. L. Kuhiman of Fred- erick Md. 1 church extension and $3,552 genes Death of John E, Clokey. Mr. John E. Clokey, a highly respected business man of this city, dropped dead without a moment’s warning while walking along 9th street near R yesterday after- noon. He was one of the trustees of Foun- dry M. E. Church, and left his home, 2139 L street, about 3 o'clock to attend a meet- ing at the church. Afterward, in company with a friend, he was taking a walk up 9th street, and was directly in front of the house of a relative when, without a word, he fell to the sidewalk. His friend started to carry him into the house, but he was dead before he reached the front door. Dr. Winter was hastily summoned, but arrived too Igte to be of any assistance. He gave a ceftificate of death from heart failure, and the body was removed to the Clokey residence, on L street. Mr. Clokey was for many years a well-known builder and con- tractor. He was born in this city more than seventy years ago, and his father was a native of Washington before him. He leaves a wife and eight grown children. a ene Death of Mrs. Emma Sawyer WLite. Mrs. Emma Sawyer White, who was for a number of years very prominent in Wash- iugton society, died rather suddenly Satur- day afternoon at the residence-of her father, ex-Senator Sawyer, 1701 Connecti- cut avenue. Mrs. White had been ill but a few days, and her death came as a sad shock to her family. She was the wife of Mr. Howard G. White, a well-known jour- nalist of Syracuse, N. Y. Mrs. White was an accomplished woman and of striking ap- pearance. She was the prime mover in all the social affairs for which her father’s home was so famous. The body has been taken to Wisconsin for-interment. VISITING VETERANS| Agpevaching National Encampment of Union Veteran Legion. OBJECTS OF THE POPULAR ORDER A Large Attendance Expected at " the Important Gathering. . PREPARING THE PROGRAM The Union Veteran Legion was organized March 31, 1884, in the law office of A. B. | Hay, Pittsburg. There were present at the meeting, besides. Mr. Hay, Gen. A. L. Pear- son, Maj. W. W. Tyson, Capt. Samuel Har- per and Capt. David Lowery. These gen- tlemen were imbued with the idea that an organization should be formed composed of none but real soldiers who had seen active service for a long period, and who had served their country from none other than patrioule motives, and where all who en- tered should oe and had been comrades not only in name, but in fact, as well. At the outset the rules required that a comrade to be eligible for membership must have served at least two years in the army, un- less discharged for wounds or disabilities. In a short time, however, this rule was so amended that an applicant to be eligible for membership must have volunteered prior to the order for the first draft, and have served two continuous years, unless discharged for wounds received in line of duty, thus rendering ineligible those dis- charged for disability unless they had served the requisite period. Capt. Lowery, who was one of the organizers of the le- gion, and who was enthusiastic in his de- votion to its cause, had served within two months of the required two years, and had been discharged for disability, from which he still suffered, but he himself advocated the amendment and resigned his member- ship, declaring that under the first rule the legion would be open to many of the veriest cowards who had escaped from the service under the plea of disab:lity when their real disease was cowardice. Karly Criticisms. When the order was first organized many claimed that it was antagonistic to other soldier organizations, and the motives of the organizers and those who joined the le- gion were frequently called into question. It was claimed particularly that the or- Sanization was called into being by opposi- tion to the G. A. R., but the fact was that all the founders were active workers in the Grand Army. One had been the first mem- Ler in Pennsylvania mustered into the G. A. R.. and two of them were past com minders of the Department of Pennsyiv: nia. The criticism to which the legion was Subjected, however, did not last for any length of time, because as soon as the real intentions of the organization became gen- erally known they were highly approved by all patrioti> people. The rules for ad- mission to membership were made more and mcre rigid, and the original idea to have and maintain an organization where patriotism, service and bravery shall be 2 ft ly adhered The first’ encampment which was din Pittsburg was duly chartered by court of common pleas No. 1 of Alle- county, two of the judges of which were among its earliest members, distinctive features was steac to. court and its officers were constituted the na. tional officers of the order until the forma- tion of the national encampment at Pitts- burg, November 17, 185, at which time twelve encampments had been formed in the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massa- chusetts and Iowa. Today’ there ure 148 encampments, with a membership of al- most 20,009, Objects of the Organtzntia The objects of the Union Veteran Legion are: First, the cultivation of true devotion to American government and institutions; second, the mcral, social and intellectual improvement Qfaits members, and the re- lief of the wifows and orphans in sickness and distress; third, the preservation of friendly relations among those who fought for the maintenance of the Union; fourth, to perpetuate by the personal example and influence of its members the three great prin es of fraterniiy, triot fifth, all things give preference to {is men! iness relations and to assist it ible ia all honorable ways.

Now and then questions arise as to the exact meaning and force of the mechates’ lien law new on the District statute books, concerning which the animated put troversy was conducted several ye: A correspondent signing him: tim” writes to The Star as follows: “Will The Star kindly give the present status of the ‘builders’ lien law?’ Suppos a contractor should coilect all, or nearly all, that is due for building a house, and should fail to pay either the workmen or for material used, how are they, the work- men and material men, to get their pay? Is the property responsible in any way for all, or for only such amount as hag not already been paid to said contractor?’ In answer The Star gives the following synopsis of the statute: The act of Congress of July 2, 1884, the latest law on the subject, provides that every building hereafter erected or re- paired here shall be subject to a lien in favor of the contractor, subcontractor, material man, jourreyman, and laborer, respectively, for the payment for work or materiais contracted for or furnished, yro- vided the person claiming <he lien snail file in the office of the clerk of the District Supreme Court during or within three months after the completion of the build- ing or repairs a notice of his intencion to hold a lien on the property, provided fur- ther, the lien shall not exceed or be en- forced for a sum greater than the amouat of the original contract for the said ere tion or repairs. Such lien shall be pr ferred to all judgments, mortgages «ap other incumbrances attaching on said building or ground. Suit to enforce such a lien may be commenced within one year after filing of the said notice or the comple- tion of the building or repairs. In the case of Whelan et al. agt. Young et al., decided by the Court in General Term June 27, 1802, it was held that a sub- contractor who postpones filing his notice of lien until the principal part of the coa- tract price has been paid by the owner to the contractor can assert a lien on the property only to the exteat of what re- mains due under the contract. In such a case the lien has no retroactive effect. but operates only from the date of filiag. The rights of a subcontractor are statutory, and do not grow out of any privity cf ‘con- tract with the owner. It is the duty of subcontractors, in the exercise of the privi- leges granted them by the mechanics’ lien law, to use such diligence as to avert loss to every one interested.
