Henry Gray and Joseph Carroll, the young men who were arrested for brutally assaulting William S. Watts, a contractor, thé evening of December 29 last, were io- day heid for the action of the grand jury in $300 bonds on a charge of assault with in- tent to kill in the Police Court by Judge Miller. As reported in The Star at the time, Gray and Carroll about 6 o'clock on the evening in question mounted the doorstep sf Mr. residence, 321 Elm street, Le Lroit and. calling the proprietor to the door, asked if it was true that he had been circulating reports to the effect that they were incompetent workmen. The men had formerly been employed by Watts. Some words followed, and one of the men grap- pled with the contractor, the pair rolling down the steps. While down Mr. Watts was struck on the head violently with a stone. His condition was critical for sev- eral days. The defendants denied that they axsault- ed Mr. Watis, maintaining that he used force in ejecting them from the doorstep. At all events, it was contended, the cuse was not more serious than simple azsault. Judge Miller, however, rvied that the oc- currence should be investigated by the grand jury, and heiG Gray ana Carroll, as Stated. The witnesses who appeared for the pros- ecution were Thomas Cleveland, Dr. G. N. Perry, Thomas F. Murphy, G. L. Yue, Ed- ward Seelig, T. H. Milton, Agnes Burrell, Charles Watson and J. S.

ROBERT COLLYER Interesting Story of the Unitarians’ Progress in Washington. FAMOUS ORIGINAL MEMBERS SS Services of an unusually interesting char- acter will be held this evening at All Souls’ Church, the occasion being the installation of Rev. E. Bradford Leavitt as pastor. Some of the most distinguished Unitarian divines in the country will take part, and the edifice will doubtless be crowded with @ congregation as notable for its character as for its numbers. The exercises will commence with an an- them by the choir, and after an invocation by Rev. Alexander T. Bowser of Wilming- ton, Del., prayer by. Rev. Alexander Kent, an original hymn by the Rey. Dr. A. D. Mayo of this city will be sung to the tune “Duke Street.” The sermon, which will foliow, will be delivered by Rev. Robert Collyer of New York. Another anthem by the choir will be fol- lowed by the prayer of installation, offered vp by Rev. John W. Day of Higham, Mass., to which the choir will sing a re- sponse. An address, “Right Hand of Fel- lowship,” will be delivered by Rev. James C. Hodgins of Germantown, Pa., and Rev. Rev. E. Bradford Leavitt. Samuel A. Eliot of Brooklyn will make the charge to the minister. An address to the people will follow from Rev. Rush R. Ship- pen, the former pastor of All Souls’, who now has a charge in Brockton, Mass., and the closing prayer will be offered by Rev. Dr. Mayo. The services will be concluded with a hymn to the tune “Webb,” by Rev. Alexander T. Bowser, and the benediction, which wilt be pronounced by Mr. Leavitt. Sketch of the New Pastor. Rev. E. Bradford Leavitt was born in Boston, June 4, 1868. His early education was received in the public schools of Hing- ham, Mass., where he graduated from the High School in 1885. After spending a year in Europe he entered Harvard Col- lege in 1886, having prepared himself with- out attending a preparatory school, and received his degree cum laude in 18%. The same year he entered the Harvard Divinity School, graduating in 18%. During his university course he was a member of the college choir, of the glee club and of the Pi Eta Society. In 18% Prof. Pickering, the director of the Harvard College ob- servatory, who had noted Mr. Leavitt's aptitude for scientific work, invited him to do special work in stellar photometry and experimental photography, and during the last four years at Harvard his spare time was spent in work and study at the ob- servatory. In February, four months be- fore graduating from the Divinity School, he preached at Brattleboro’, Vt. it being his first sermon and first service, and re- ceived and accepted a unanimous call to the pastorate of the Unitarian Church there, which, oy the way, was one of the finest church edifices in the denomination. For the remaining four months of his uni- versity course the work Sf church and col- lege was carried on together, though in places one hundred and twenty-five miles apart. During his pastorate in Brattle- boro’ Mr. Leavitt received a call to the his- toric old First Parish of Concord, Mass to Berkeley, Cal., to Beverly, Ma: All Souls’, Washington, which las tion he accepted last November. The pas- torate began with the new year. Mr. Lea- vitt_has a wife and a daughter of three years. nd to invita- Former Pastor. Rev. R. R. Shippen of Brockton, Ma: former pastor of All Souls’ Church, is the guest of Mrs. Gale, 1314 L street. He will lunch informally today with Mr. and Mrs. H. A.

Dedicated Nineteen Years Ago. _ Ali Souls’ urch was built in the late seventies, and was dedicated in 1878, The cor.=resation had held its services inWillard Hall in the interim between 1877, when it gave up the famous old church, in which it Lad worshiped for so many years, at the corner of 6th and D streets northwest. In June,’ 1877, a bond of union was adopt- ed, which is as foliows: “Acknowledging ourselves to be dis- ciples ef Jesus Christ, we hereby declare that it is our purpose, in coming together as a church, to study, and to endeavor to prectice, the pure religion Christ taught and exemplified.” It was while the services were being held in Willarc Hal! that the erection of the church edifice at the corner of L and 14th streets northwest was undertaken. The expense of the structure was largely borne by Mr. Henry A. Willard, who was, and still ig, cne of the most active members of the church, and tireless in his efforts to advance its intluence for good. The corner s laid, with Masonic ceremonies, 1877. The dedication was cele- brated simultaneously with the installa- tion of Rev. Clay MacCauley as pastor, the dedication services taking place January 29, 1878, and the installation January 30. The first were conducted by Rev. Rush R. Shippen, and the sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Henry W. Bellows of New York. The exercises attendant upon Pastor Mac- Cauley’s installation were participated in by Rev. C. R. Weld, Rev. Joseph May, Rev. C. A. Staples, Rev, E. H. Hall, Rev. Grirdall Reynolds, Rev. A. M. Knapp and Rev Rush R. Shippen, and the sermon was preached by the eloquent Rev. John F. W. Ware of Boston. : The committees on dedication and instal- lation included Justice and Mrs. Samuel F. Miller, Secretary. and Mrs. George W. Mc- Crary, Postmaster General and Mrs. Howe, District Commissioner and Mrs. John H. Ketcham, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. E. Chandler, Mr. and Mrs. Henry A. Willard, Mr. and Mrs. Enoch Totten and a number of other prominent people. The church, already with a large conzrega- tion, grew rapidly, and soon became one of the most influential in the national capital, and its pulpit was frequently filled by some of the most powerful and elocuent ck n in America, who came to Wash- ington from time to time for the purpose. Interesting~Early History. The church is a very old one, having suc- ceeded the first Unitarian congregation in this city, and the early history of it teems with interest. The church records show that the first Unitarian services held in Washington were conducted by Rev. Robt. Little-of England, in 1820, at the Bath House, on C street between 4% and 6th streets, on the site where the mail bag re- pair shop of the Post Office Department "reat tnapired_by this eres! powerful preacher led to the organization, in 1821, of -the First Unitarian Church, Among the original members. were men distinguished in ‘and in local affairs. in- cluded, among others, John Quincy 2 Bi W.

Charles W. Fairbanks is a lawyer of In- dianapolis, who was formerly a journalist. He is one of the most skillful railroad at- torneys in the west. He was born at Union- ville Center, Ohio, in 1852, and was gra uated from the Ohio Wesleyan University at the age of twenty. He found time to practice journalism and read law at the same time, and soon after his admission to the bar he became solicitor for the Chesa- peake and Ohio railroad. He is now in- terested iargely in many western railroads, being president and one of the principal stockholders of the Terre Haute and Peoria. He was temporary chairman of the St. Louis republican convention. Rev. Robt. Wood, St. John's Assistant Pastor.

Accordingly Mr. Wood's plans are very indefinite, and as yet he does not know whether he wil] sever his connection with St. Jobn’s now or in next October, though the probability is in favor cf the latter. The matter will, however, be prob- ably definitely settied by the middle of next week. “ <ee ey. Robert S. W.
