At the weekly session of the Washing: ton c.ty Methodist preachers’ meeting, held yesterday morning, the death of Mr. Sibi was announced. Eulogies were ¢ 1 i by Drs. S. H. Ames and J. B. Stitt and others, and the following resolutions, offered by Rev. George V. Leech, were unanimously adopted: “Resolved, That this preachers’ meeting has heard with deep emotion of the re- moval by death, on this March 22, 1807, of Mr. Wm. J. Sibley, for upward of half a century a leading layman of Foundry Methodist Episcopal Church of this city. “Honored by his brethren from early life with constant official position, his coun- sel was largely influential in the develop- ment of both his own church and of Meth- odism in the District of Columbia. “Inherent modesty made him quiet in his carriage and gentle in expression. A thor- ough refinement added the charm that betokens the true gentleman. But there was that in his character better than even these. An inner Christ-likeness placed him before all who knew him, the model Chris- tian man. His long life was free from in. *Uiplessed by the Divine Father with liberal means, as the result of high-toned business methods and energy, he gladly recognized the fact that he was God’s steward. He gave liberally to his own expanding church; to the benevolences of the general church. He extended a helping hand also to all important church enterprises in the District. ‘Sympathizing with the suffering and dis- tressed, through his Hberality the beau- tiful little hospital connected with the work of our deaconesses arose and began its mission of good. So soon it stands, in- deed, not only a memorial to his loved and translated wife, for whom he originally named it, but a monument to his own pure life. We mourn the loss which his de- parture brings to us and to the church below, but we rejoice that he has been but taken to a larger field of activity, amid eternal bliss on high. s “We are sure that with hts beautiful qualities of spirit, he will there reflect the glories of his. Lord, forever. “We offer sincere condolence to his fam- ily. Tae is ordered: Ist. That this minute be entered on the records of this meeting. 2d. That a copy be sent to the family of our brother. 3d. That a committee of five be appointed to attend the funeral.” The following committee was selected, viz: Drs. L. B. Wilson, J. B. Stitt, A. H. Ames, Wm. M. Chapman and George V.

Fox of Hyattsville, Md., while at- tempting to jump on car No. 310 of the Metropolitan Railroad Company about 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon on F street be- tween 6th and 7th stre+ts, fell and bruised himself painfully about the body.

The case will probably be concluded late this afternoon or early tomorrow, and it is probable that Gray will be convicted of manslaughter only. —_—>_—_ Protest Against Pugilistic Pictures.
