SAMSON'S MEMORY Addresses Made at the Meeting This Afternoon. MISSIONARY WORK Total abstinence and the matter of distri- bution of religious literature occupied the attention of the Columbia Association of Baptist Churches at the morning session today. The E Street Baptist Church, in which the sessions are held, was again well filled, a large proportion of those present being ladies. The devotional exercise were opened with a hymn, and a prayer for the temperance cause, after which came the reading of re- Ports from committees. The report of the committee on total abstinence was pre- sented by Rev. Robert R. West of the Queenstown Baptist Church. It was as fol- low: “We believe that every member of a Bap- tist church should be a total abstainer from the use of intoxicating liquors. “We believe that the churches should make an aggressive movement, leading the friends of total abstinence, for the suppres- sion of the liquor traffic. = “We believe, further, not alone that the saloon must go, but that efforts should be put forth with zeal so unmistakable as to Make the saloon interests realize that the churches of the Lord Jesus Christ, repre- sented in this body, have spoken with the voice of their Great Head in condemnation of this nefarious bifsiness; and that now and here we pledge ourselves, and in so far as permitted, our churches, to wage war unceasing in every legitimate way against the continuation of a system of licensed sa- loons, which is a shame to our Christian civilization. We invite all denominations of Christians to join us in such pledge. “We commend the efforts now being put forth by the Anti-Saloon League of the Dis- trict of Columbia and by the American Anti-Saloon League, looking to the suppres- sion of the saloon. To this end we call especial attention to the recommendation that Sunday, November 22, be observed as Temperance Sunday. “We recommend that the moderator be authorized to appoint two delegates and alternates to -represent this body in the American Anti-Saloon convention to be held in this city December 8-10 next.” The Mile Limit. In submitting the report of the commit- tee, Rev. Mr. West made an earnest ad- dress, in which he expressed the hope that the Baptist churches would take a place in the front rank in the battle against the Hquor interest. “In Brookland,” said he, “we are within the mile limit from the Soldiers’ Home, where the sale of liquors is forbidden. If it is right and a good thing to forbid the liquor traffic within a mile of that institu- tion, why not for two miles or three miles, and so on indefinitely, for I tell you, my friends, there are thousands of others be- sides old soldiers in the District who need protection from the liquor evil. “Brethren, how can we ever hcpe or ex- pect to do the Lord’s work when in every ship that carries our missionaries to for- eign lands go barrels of rum to carry the heathen still farther down into the depths of degradation?” Brief remarks upon, the subject were made by Mr. John F. ‘Vinal, after which the report was unanimously adopted. The report of the committee on Bible and tract distribution was presented by Rev. George E. T. Stevenson. It said: “We should use more doctrinal tracts, as they quite often correct erroneous ideas concerning our denomination. “One of our churches has a committee on Bible and tract distribution. Your com- mittee believes that every church should have such a committee, and that that com- mittee should see that every family within the proper radius of the church has a Bible.” Fellowing the report, Rev. Dr. Flippo of the American Baptist Publication Society spoke at some length in the interests of that institution. The subject of Bible and tract distribution was discussed by Rev. C. C. Meador, Rev. Dr. Palmer, Rev. J. M. Frost, D. D., corresponding secretary of the Sunday school board of thé Southern Bap- tist convention, and Dr. J. J. Muir. The re- port was then adopted. Dr. Gregory of the Maryland Union Bap- tist Association was invited by the mod- erator to address the meeting, and after scme minor business the association ad- jJourned. During tre recess the delegates and visitors were entertained at lunch- eon ty the ladies of the E Street Baptist Church. The Afternoon Session. At the afternoon session the matter of religious education was taken up and the reperts of the educational board, G. E. Truett, chairman, and the committee on education, Rev. Dr. C. A. Stakely, chair- ™an, were presented. ts An interesting feature of the meeting Was a memorial service in honor of the late Dr. George W. Samson, who was at the head of Columbian when it was made into a university. It was particularly appropri- #te that the memory of this great educator should be honored at a meeting, which was devoted to the question of education. The report of the committee on education con- tained the foilowing reference to the loss ained in the death of Dr. Samson: ‘It is with feelings of sincere sorrow that we, in common with the committee on obit- uaries, chronicle the death during the pres- ent year of Dr. George W. Samson. For sixteen years Dr. Samson was the pastor of the E Street Baptist Church, within whose sacred walls we are now assembled. For four years, and this during the trying period of the war, he served as pastor of the First Baptist Church. During the rest of his long life residence in the District he was president of honored and beloved Columbian. Dr. Samson was widely known for his eminent personal qualities, his great scholarship, his eloquence as a proclaimer of the gospel and his remarkable adminis- trative abilities. If Luther Rice was the founder of Columbian College, George W. Samson was the founder of Columbian University. Long will his name be fresh in the memory of the denomination which he loved.” Prof. Huntington of Columbian spoke on Dr. Samson as an educator; Prof. Otis T. Mason, on Dr. Samson as a man; Rev. Drs. Muir and Stakely, on Dr. Samson as pastor of the E Street Church and of the First Baptist Church, and Dr. C. C. Meador, on Dr. Samson in his relations to denomin: tional work in the District of Columbia. Tonight’s Meeting. ‘The committee on Sunday schools, Mr. Charles W. Needham, chairman, has pre- pared the following program for the meet- ing of the association this evening: “Organization and Teachers’ Meetings,”” Mr. Pierson H. Bristow, superintendent of the Sunday school of Calvary Baptist Thurch. “How to Teach the Young,” Prof. Lee Davis Lodge, Ph. D., Columbian University. “True Enthusiasm,” Rev. J. M. Frost, D.

Last evening’s session was devoted en- tirely to the subject of missionary work, and how it could be best conducted, The report of the committee on missions was read by Rev. J. J. Muir, pastor of the E street Baptist Church, chairman of the committee. Referring to oe work in foreign Jands the report said: “May that stricken FREE TO aL sae ‘ATCH. RAZO!

It appears that there are two antag- onistic parties—one denominated the Ger- man party, led by Mer. Schroder, and the other, the American party, of which Bishop Keane was the head. It further ap- pears that the German party, with the as- sistance of Cardinal Satolli, have had Bishop Keane removed, and the removal of other officers, who are Americans, is ex- pected. Now, it would be interesting to know, and it seems pertinent to inquire, Is the Catholic University to be run as a foreign institution? And are Americans expected to furnish the money to run it? The university was prospering and all was harmony up to the time that Mgr. Sa- tolli was sent here to oversee the Catholic Church in America. He could not speak the English language, nor was he acquaint- ed with American institutions, and yet he seems to have been invested with powers larger than those of Cardinal Gibbons. Bishop Keane did more than any other person to make the university acceptable to Americans and a success, but a for- eigner to everything American is sent here, ard on his report Bishop Keane is sum- marily deposed, and the man who caused his deposition, and who came here appar- ently with plenary power over the Catholic Church, leaves the country a cardinal, and another Italian succeeds to carry on the good work inaugurated by Satolli. In the daily papers we have the informa- ticn from Rome that Bishop Keane and Archbishop Ireland are accused of heresy. ‘This charge is made and is presumably true, for one is already silenced. In view of these facts is it improper to inquire what is to be the course of the Catholic Church in this country in the fu- ture? Is it to be American in its teaching end polity, or is it to be Italian and reac- ticnary? Is it to live in the present or in the past? J. B. BLOSS, Jr. Se For Assaulting an Officer. George Robinson, the colored man who assaulted Policeman Emmett so completely Octcber 27 last at the corner of 14th and G streets, was held for the action of the grand jury this afternoon by Judge Miller. It will be remembered that Robinson, the driver of an express wagon, was standing in front of Sloan’s auction house and re- fused to depart when ordered to do so by Mr, Sloan and later by Policeman Emmett. The latter finally placed the man under arrest. Thereupon Robinson viciously as- saulted the policeman, among other things dislocating one of his shoulders and sprain- ing his left arm. The affair caused con- siderable excitement at the time. Messrs. Charles G. Sloan, Washington Danenhower and Brown, who witnessed the assault, testified against Robinson. The defense was to the effect that the arrest was unwarranted, and that Robinson was justi- fied in making the assault. Judge Kimball thougnt differently, however, and ruled as stated. 7 ROBBERIES REPORTED. Burglars Enter the House of Rev. Thomas C. Easton. Last night burglars visited the residence of the Rev. Thomas C. Easton, pastor of the Eastern Presbyterian Church, No. 308 7th street northeast, and now Dr. Easton is considerably poorer than he was before the visitor called. An entrance was ef- fected by opening the back window, and when the pastor discovered that the house had been visited in this way an investiga- tion was started, and.it was discovered that several articles of jewetry as well as $1.50 in cash had been taken. Among the ar- ticles taken were a gold' open-face watch, gold pin, cameo ring, stwing ef gold beads and a pair of gold eyeglasses. The robbery was committed between:S and 10 o'clock, and the police were oalied.in to make an in- vestigation. Detective Rhodes is working on the ca: and he hopes to apprehend the burglar ard recoyer.the property. The bicycle thief ts at large again and is making work for the police. Four. such robberies were reported, to the detectives today. Richard Hawkinag/of 621 3 1-2 street made a call at 337 C street southwest last evening and left his: wheel, a Monroe, No. 3381, in front of the heuse. Much to bis surprise, he had no;wheel when he started home, and had to natronize a street car. Miss Sarah A. Green, -who lives at 410 2d street northeast,.$s the owner of a lady’s Wilhelm wheel, but #h¢.is not now the possessor, as it was stolen from in front of the Congregational Church last night. Frank Halford rode from his home, at 1622 22d street, to the Capitol yesterday on his Eclipse wheel, No. 28601, and while in the Supreme Court his wheel was stolen. A. F. Perry hired a Bellis wheel to an unknown man yesterday, and because of the man’s failure to return it the wheel has been put on the stoien list. A lady's gold-filled watch and chain, be- longing to C. H. Hoff, was stolen from a h and K streets yesterday. W. D. Windsor complains of the theft of a black overccat. ee Hotel Arrt . Raleigh.—J. 8.

Grace Bond, a young white woman, was held for the action of the grand jury in $00 bonds this afternoon by Judge Miller for the larceny of a gold watch, chain and charm from John M. Hale, the proprietor of @ lunch room at 424 10th street. The defendant elaimed that she has been living with Hale for several months, and that he gave her the watch as a present. Becoming jealous because she went driving with another man, said the prisoner, and also because she: objected to his relations with a colored woman, Hale brought the charge against her.

Ryan of New York to secure the stock of the Seaboard and Roa- noke Railroad Company, popularly known as the Seaboard Air Line, which was de- posited with the Hoffman-McLane pool, and which result was foreshadowed in The Star, is almost the sole topic of conversa- tion in banking and railroad circles here today, and the concensus of opinion as ex- pressed seems to be that Mr. Louis Mc- Lane, who it has generally been under- stood was the manager of the pool, has completely outgeneraled Mr. Ryan. What is to become of the certified check for $60,000 which Mr. Ryan 1s known to have deposited with the pool as an evi- dence of his intention to take the pool’s holdings, provided that would give him the control of the Seaboard, is being asked, and hardly any one can be found who is willing to say for publication whether in their opinion the check will be handed back by the members of the pool to Mr. Ryan or whether he will have to go into court and make a contest to secure its possession. There are, indeed, many well-informed persons who believe that as soon as the necessary papers can be prepared Mr. Ryan will, through his counsel, Mr. Elihu Root of New York, file proceedings in the Uni- ted States court of Maryland praying for a mandamus to compel Messrs. R. Curzon Hoffman, Louls McLane, Moncure Robinson and Leigh R. Watts to deliver the 8,300 shares of stock held in trust by them and for themselves and others whom they rep- resent, on the ground that he was ready to perform his part of the contract at the time agreed upon. It is intimated on high authority that should Mr. Ryan fail to secure a man- damus, if that 1s the course he dicides to adopt, he will take whatever legal steps in his judgment may be necessary to win victory, and it is‘said that in this evenc interesting developments will attend a very bitter fight which seems to be ahead for the control of the Seaboard Air Line. It is claimed by friends of Mr. Ryan that the present situation is the result of a deter- mination to keep the property in the hands of the present management or to embrace an opportunity which, it is alleged, has been presented to the members of the pool to sell their holdings to certain parties, who, it is said, have bid more for the shares than it was agreed Mr. Ryan could have them for. At present the road is in the hands of the Hoffman interests, but it is not improbable that developments may take place tomorrow that will place an entirely new phese on the situation. Possible Developments. On that day the annual meeting of the stockholders of several of the subordinate lines of the Seaboard and Roanoke Com- Fany will be held at Raleigh, N. C., to which place President Hoffman and other officials of the road have gone. The com- panies referred to are the Raleigh and Gaston, Raleign and Augusta Air Line, Durham and Northern and Palmetto rail- Toad. The stockholders of each of these roads met at Raleigh on Thursday of last week in pursuance of their several charters, but in each case the arrouncement was made that President Hoffman, Vice Presi- dent St. John and the Baltimore stock- holders were detained at home. Under these circumstances no course remained open for those present but to adjourn until a future date, which, after naming tomor- row es the time, they did. The Raleigh and Gaston, Raleigh and Augusta Air Line, the Durham and North- ern and Palmetto railroad, with the Georgia, Carolina and Northern and the Seaboard Air Line Belt Railroad Company, comprise the majority of the mileage of the Seaboard system, and, although Messrs. Hoffman, McLane, Robinson and Watts have stock enough to do what they please with the road, it is believed they will take po steps that do not afford abundant pro- tection to the minority stockholders. The annual meeting of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern and the Seaboard Air Line Belt Railroad Company will be held at At- lanfa. President Hoffman’s Statement. President Hoffman and the other officials of the Seaboard last evening left Baltimore for the south, and before doing so Mr. Hoffman dictated a statement of the pres- ent condition of affairs, a copy of which was today furnished to a Star reporter by the secretary of the Seaboard company at the office of the latter here. The statement is as follows: “Under the terms of the pooling agree- ment no sale of the pooled stock can be made without the assent of three-fourths of the stock pooled. There are §,321 shares in the pool, and as less than one-half of that amount gave their assent, there will be no sale. “The vote also shows that the stock- holders have every confidence in the future of the property and in the present man- agement. The importance of keeping an independent line to the south can scarcely be overestimated, and no doubt influenced the vote of Baltimore, Norfolk and Ports- mouth stockholders. Had this line gone into the hands of New York parties, repre- senting the Southern railway, there would be but one line to the south, and that in the hands of New York, and these cities would have suffered accordingly in their trade. “The future of the system now looks very promising, as the first three months of the current fiscal year show large net gains over the corresponding month of 1895, and the fact that the Ryan syndicate has been willing to pay par for even a minority in- terest shows the results of their study of the resources of the Seaboard Air Line. “Under the present management the road has been, honestly operated in the interest of its stockholders and of those holding its securities, amounting to many millions of dollars. “Should a change throw its control into hands that seek only a personal profit, or to serve the ends of a competitive carrier, it might be difficult to overestimate the danger that would threaten all interested in the system. “The public is to be congratulated that this line is still independent, and will be run in the future as in the past, looking to the interest of Baltimore and the southern cities, with which its trade relations are most intimate and important.” Legal Review. Ex-Judge L. R. Watts, general counsel of the Seabcard, gave the following review of the situation: “The deal with Mr. Ryan is off, and for the present, at least, the Seaboard will be operated under the same management it has been for some time past. Mr. Ryan offered $125 a share for all the stock in the pool, and the holders were asked to express themselves by vote if or not they favored telling at that figure. To sell required a three-fourths vote, and as less than half of the pooled stock was voted for a sale, the sale cannot be made. “We counted the votes, and as soon as we knew the result we mailed a letter to Mr. Ryan telling him of it.” Created Surprise, Until after the adjournment of the meet- ing of the pool committee, which was held at the company’s general offices In Balti- more yesterday afternoon,there was scarce- ly a banker or railroad official to be found that did not believe that Mr. Ryan would secure the stock held by the Hoffman-Mc- Lane pool, and that it was only a question of a few days when Mr. Ryan would be at the head of the Seaboard and Roanoke. ‘The sudden collapse of the deal caused in- tense surprise among the few who became aware of what had occurred lest night. It was generally believed that the offer of $125 a share, which was offered by Mr. Ryan for the pooled stock, was too tempt- ing to be rejected by any of the stockhold- ers, while it was also thought that many BaaSais COUNTRY REAL ESTATE.

It is said that Mr. Ryan was just as cesfin when he starte1 from Bal- timore for New York Saturday that the Seaboard would now be his as that he had the money to pay for it. Notwithstanding the fact that as the situation stands today it looks as though the present management woul. continue to control the Seaboard, there are many per- sons who predict that a change will take place before long, and that there will be no trovble about the Louisville and Nashville Company getting it, if they want it bad enough to offer such inducements as the pool thinks they ought to have. As President Hoffman and the other members of the board of directors were re- elected for another year at the annual meeting of the stockholders, held in Ports- mouth, Va., about a month ago, there is a belief in some quarters that the collapse of the deal means a renewal of the recent dis- astrous rate war in the near future, unless the ownership of the Seaboard shall mean- while pass from the Hoffman-McLane pool, which cannot teke place except by the ac- ca, of the members of the latter them- selves. —_— CONDENSED LOCALS Thomas Burns was before Judge Kimball in the Police Court today as a vagrant, the charge being brought because the man is drunk almost continuously. : “Your honor, please let me off this time,” said Thomas. “If you will, I'll promise you I'll sign the pledge.” “Such promises as that are made to me every day,” replied the court, “but they seldom result in good. I think fifteen days in the workhouse will do you more good than signing the pledge.” In the Court,of Appeals late yesterday afternocn opinions were handed down as follows: Patent application of George Bry- ant, appeal dismissed; Bradford et al. agt. Matthews et al. decree affirmed, with costs, as to the acquired real estate; Whit- temore agt. Darden, judgment affirmed, with costs. Arthur Murphy, John Weimer, James O'Nelil and Peter Thies, who Constitute the crew of the oyster sloop William Williams, were in the Police Court yesterday after- noon, charged with grand larceny in the theft of forty bushels of oysters. The de+ fendants demonstrated to the satisfaction of the court that they sold the oysters at the direction of the court, and were dis- missed.

Keegan Pleads Guilty of Stealing. Edward J. Keegan, a handsome young fellow of twenty years, presenting every appearance of respectability, and of un- Geubtedly good family, was a prisoner in the Police Court this afternoon, charged by several persons, including his father and sister, with larceny. The information set forth that Keegan stole a large quantity of jewelry from his sister, Miss Alice Keegan of 441 Khode Island avenue; a mink boa from Miss Noonan, a friend of his sister, and an over- ccat from E. C. Crippen of 921 D street. Without the slightest hestitation, Keegan admitted his guilt. He took the stand, and eaplained to’ Judge Miller that whisky has been the cause of his trouble. For two years past, sald the young man, he had been in the habit of drinking, ‘and fre- quently during that period was intoxicated. He pawned the articles mentioned. “I don’t know what made me take them,” said Keegan to the court. “I am a ste- negrapher and typewriter, and always earn- ed good wages.” He denied, however, that he was in the employ of Senator Stewart. After giving Keegan a lecture that ought to result beneficially, Judge Miller imposed a fine of $20 in cach of the three cases, with sixty days imprisonment in jail in default. eee Health of the City.

John Early, a small colored boy, has found to his sorrow that it is poor policy to shoot cats, even though the felines might have evil designs on a flock of pigeons owned by Early. The latter was in the Police Court today, charged with violating the police regulations by dis- charging a firearm. It was only by a nar- row margin that the charge escaped being murder or manslaughter. Mr. Bernard M. Bridget and Davis testified that Saturday a Sunday last bullets crashed through the windows of their resicences, coming from the rear of Pierce street. After striking the wall one of the bullets glanced off landed against Mr. Bridget’s daughter. the force had by that time be and the young lady was not ser jured. f Investigation by the police showed that Early was the person who fired the shots. His excuse was that he was shooting cats, Mr. J. L. and did not mean to do any harm. The court explained that it ts a violation of law to disch a firearm within the Dis- | trict of Columbia without a permit, and im- ed a fine of $10.
