Dr. Howard Wilbur Ennis, paster. Rev. J. Russell Verbrycke, the moderator, presided, with Rey. Dr. Bitten- ger as stated clerk, and Rev. Charles Al- vin Smith as permanent clerk. ? The morning session began at 9:30 o'clock, and after devotional exercises it was voted to have the next regular mect- ing of the body in the Presbyterian Church at Nealsville, Md., on the first Merday after the first Sunday in October next. ‘The committee on foreign missions, Rev. Dr. Teunis S. Hamlin, chairman, submit- ted a report showing that twenty-seven churches in the presbytery responded to an appeal sent out by the committee as to ars gifts to this cause. ‘There it was stated, “a net increase of In addition, ‘eight churches re- ported increase, but did not name the amount. The board is, however, appre- hensive of a debt at the close of its fiscal year, and has issued a stirring appeal for a special Easter offering.” ‘The report goes on to state: “Three of our churches premise to give such an of- fering, but In: view of the gifts already made, and of the current urgent demands, as well as of continual business depression, the committee does not feel justified in asking the presbytery to further urge this special offering cn the churches. It would seem that we have done our fair share, and that with similar fidelity and seneros- ity throughout the denomination the board should close its year’s work unembar- rassed. ‘We submit only one resolution: That the pastors and sessions be urged to lay early and careful plans gor large gifts to ferelgn nrissions during the next ecclesi- astical year.” The report was adopted. Sustaining Churches. The committee on synodical sustentation, Rev. Dr. Bittenger, chairman, submitted a report, which was adopted, and in part was as follows: “That by order of presbytery the following churches were recommended to the synodical plan of sustentation, viz.: Manassas, $40; Clifton, $90; Vienna and Lewinsville, § Garden Memorial, $200; Ballston, $300; Takoma Park, $200; Warner femorial, $200; Eckington, $300; Hermon, making a total of $1,915. Two of the above named churches, however, have failed to raceive any benefit from the fund— Hermon Church, because it has not made any arrangements for a stated supply, and Takoma Park, because by a special Provi- dence, in which its members heartily con- curred—very much after the manner of the members of our churches generally when a kind Samaritan or a warm-hearted Chris- tion Phoebe, if not furnishing oil and wine al the smart of thelr wounded finan- ces, does, nevertheless, assume their bonded obligations and emancipates them from iebt. Three churches are without pastors— Hermon, Riverdale and Boyds.” Mrs. O. B. Brown, recording secretary of the Women’s Presbyterial Scciety of Foriegn Missions, made a report in which it was stated that the total receipts during the past year amounted to $3,200.06, an in- » of $30.71 as compared with those the previous year; that of this sum to the Philadelphia branch $4,200.74, and that the work of the society was in a prosperous condition. The report was adopted. About Missions. H410. of there was remitted The report of the committee on home missions, which was adopted, stated “that there had been recelved during the year from congregations to the board, $4,750.63; from Sabbath schools, $1,231.13; from young people's societies, $920.93, and from wom- en's societies, $5,590.04—a total of $12,291.13. “This indicates only the gifts directly to the work of our own board, and takes no note of the gifts and services of some of our churches in home mission work, which cannot be recognized in this report, but which is large and efficient in our general church advance. “Of the churches reporting sixteen re- port an excess over last year's gifts; some of them very largely so, and only four re- port less than for the same period. The excess amounts to $1,747.04. Special men- tion should be made of the strenuous and devoted service of the women’s societies and their very creditable gift of $544.39. “It ts evident that our pastors and ses- sions are awake to the demand, and the showing of the year carries encourage- ment aud hope. “We suggest that a constant oversight be exercised concerning especially the gifts of our Sabbath schools and young people's societies. They are peculiarly the point of attack for the independent and irre- sponsiole. Youthful sympathies are quick- ly excited and fervent appeal will ve quickly divert the money from the prop: channel. The future advance of the church depends upon the watchful and intelligent training of our youth. The imperative de- mand just now is for an intense and waten- ful loyalty te our own church and a denial to outside causes, which at other times might rightfully claim a share of our gifts and sympathies. Cause o ‘Temperance. The report of the committee on temper- ance was very lengthy. It was likewise adcpted, and in part was: “Few of our churckes have given attention to the im- pertant matter of the instruction of the yeung in the physiology of temperance, but nearly all report the keeping of tem- perance day, and presumably they contrib- ute ald financially to our general assem- bly’s committee. “Quite a number of the churches report that they are woking through the instru- mentality of the Anti-Saloon League, and seme that effective opposition is made in this way to the traffic in rum. “About one-half of the churches report- ing are in communities where high license is in operation, and several of them say that it has helped reduce the number of saloons. And almost half of the churches heard from are in communities where local option or prohibition in some form prevails, and reports of its effectiveness are enccur- aging. “The committee therefore recommends as follows: “1. This presbytery would express Its hearty approval of- the interest shown, and the efforts made by our churches, toward the repression of social drinking and to- ward the destruction of the traffic in drink, believing. as we do, that here is the great CASTORIA Infants eecuades SEE THAT THE FAC-SIMILB SIGNATURE OF Chas.

We earnestly recommend all our peo- ple to seek to organize resistance to the Tum power by earnestly laboring so far as they can with such organizations as may exist in their vicinity having this aim in view, and where none exists to co-operate in their organization, so as to combine all the forces of community so far as pussible against this evil, and that they seck earn- estly to make these organizations as ef- fective as may be, and that they be im- mediately represented in these forms of work. “4. That churches be urged to see that contributions be made to the assembly's committee on temperance.” At 12:30 the presbytery took a recess for lunch, and upon reassembling resumed the consideration of reports of various com- mittees. It is expected that delegates to the next general assembly will be elected during this afterncon’s session. see DIDN'T MEAN TO KILL HIS BROTHER Affecting Plea of Little John Jones to an Indictment for Murder. John G. Jones, the little colored boy who shot and killed his brother, Robert A. Jcnes, at their home on i4th street, the Sth of last February, and who was yester- day indicted for murder, was called upon to plead’ to the indictment in Criminal Court No. 1 today. When, after reading the in- dictment to the little fellow, Clerk Gatley asked him what he pleaded, the youngster broke down, and tearfully replied that he was not guilty. “T didn’t mean to kill my brother,” he sobbed. “It was all an acci- dent, sir. Chief Justice Bingham directed a plea of not guilty to be entered, and the boy was returned to jail to await his trial. He will be tried early this month. ee Soldiers’ Monument Association. The committee of fifteen appointed at the meeting of ex-Union soldiers and sail- ors, who propose to form a National Sol- diers and Sailors’ Monument Association for the purpose of erecting in this city a monument to the memory of those who fell during the war of the rebellion, met last night, Capt. Williams in the chair and Dr. H. J. Penrod secretary. The matter of organization and that of a constitution and by-laws were discussed, and several drafts were submitted, all of which were referred to a subcommittee, consisting of Messrs. Williams, Robinson, Montague, ‘Tracy and Stone, with Dr. Frank T. Howe as consulting member, to whom was in- trusted the duty of formulating a plan of organization and presenting a form of con- stitution and By-laws. A committee on charter and site reset pointed, consisting of Messrs. Ashley, = ler, Sparhawk, ‘Whitney and Herron. It was deemed advisable to proceed with caution and deliberation, so that when the work of the committee is finally reported to the full assoctation it shall be as nearly perfect as the best judgment of the mem- bers can make it. Se The Saengerbund’s “At Home.” The regular Saengerbund ‘‘at home” was given at the club house Sunday night, the full membership of the club being present, as well as a number of invited guests. The musical program offered was one of the best that has Leen given at the club house this season, and was very much enjoyed by all who were in attendance. The Saen- gerbund chorus, of course, was very much in evidence, and sang with spirit and power three numbers, one of which was a chant by Dregert, under the direction of Mr. Henry Xander. The other features of the program were a violin solo, Svendsen’s “Romance,"’ which Mr. Sol Minster played with his accustomed skill; a Chopin scher- zo, excellently interpreted by Mr. William Walkiecker; two numbers on the ‘cello, Mr. Ernest Lent; Mrs. Kitgy Thompson-Berry’s singing of “Salve Regfifa,” and two ballads sung by Mr. W. F. Lutz. One of the most enjoyable features of the evening was the work of a string quartet, consisting of Messrs. Minster, Lovy, Crandall and Lent, which played one of Haydn's works. The manner in which it played the number gave rise to considerable thought of keeping the quartet together and continuing its work. eee City Elections in Connecticut. The republicans elected sixteen of the twenty aidermen chosen at Hartford, Conn., yesterday. The republicans made a clean sweep in Bridgeport. Taylor, republican, for mayor, has 1,000 plurality. : Stamford elected J. H. Bohannon; silver democrat, mayor by 179 majority over Oll- ver G. Fessenden, republican. The coun- cil ts five republicans to four democrats, WERE DISAPPOINTED. Office Seekers Who Fell by the Way- aide. In the toils in Judge Kimball's court this Morning stood a disappoinjed office secker. His name was given as George Porter, and he told Policeman Brennan that his home was in Richmond. The young man had slept in a police cell all night, and his clothes were covered with whitewash. His hair looked as if it Had not been combed for a month, but despite his unforiunate and uncomfortable condition he was in goo:l spirits and succeeded in talking himself cut of court. Last night the young man was out with some friends, and when they had lefi him he stopped in u store on 7th street and had so much to say that the policeman put him cut. A little later the young man was found in a saloon, where he displayed a desire to smash the glasses. In addition to his desire to become belligerent he was aiso noisy and profane, and the officers put him where he could not do any damage. This morning when he opened his eyes and discovered that he was behind the bars— a place where he had never been before- he called the policeman and apologized to him. But as a charge of disorderly conduct had been preferred against him the officer could do nothing but send him to court. But he did say a good word for him when the case was tried. : “I believe he’s from the country, your honor,” said the policeman, “and if you take his bonds I think—" “I think he’s old enough to know better,” interrupted Judge Kimball. The young man said that this was his first offense, and he intende@ to make it his ast. “I was out with some friend ter. “And how did you happen to get drunk?” qveried the court. “I don’t know,” he answered. “I can't say I was induced by my friends to get drunk, for that would be foolishness.” “I'm glad you realize it,” the judge said. ‘The defendant said he realized it to the fullest extent and he also said he was thor- oughly ashamed of himself “It's the old, old sto: marked. Not with me,” said Porter, “for this is my first offense, and I'm sorry for it.” “They all get sorry when they find them- selves in court,” the judge told him. “You began this business at a pretty early age.”” Porter again assured the judge that he would refrain from the use of liquor in the future, and the court released him on his own bonds. Another disappointed office seeker found his way to the sanitary office in police headquarters. He came in the rush, and, not getting an office, he had to be assisted out of the city. “I belong in Amos Cummings’ district,” he said, ‘‘and I had good letters for a job in the printing office. But the civil service business did me up. I think that’s just an excuse to protect these people who don't want to get their constituents jobs.” Although he said he had come here from New York, he went to Pittsburg, where he sald he thought he could get employment. ——_—___ The Chicago Tournament.

Street Railroad Movements — Local Notes of General and Expecial Interest to All Concerned. ‘The repairs to the canal due to the re- cent floods have about been concluded, ac- cording to the statement of the general manager, Mr. G. L. Nicolson. The crib work which was put in at dam No. 6 was completed Saturday evening, and as a result the water has backed up to the river four or five feet, and is now flowing over the breast of the dam. The construciion of the solid stone wing wall has been commenced and will be interrupted only by high water. With this completed the repair work will be practically completed. Preparations are now being made by the boatmen for the reopening of the waterway, and the boats at this end of the line will shortly begin working toward Cumberland. It is calculated that the traffic will be opened about the 12th in stant, when the loading of the boats will be commenced. This will make the ap- pearance of the first boat in Georgetown with a cargo somewhere around April 20, possibly sooner, or perhaps a few days later. Street Railroads. The Commissioners have ordered the Georgetown and Tenleytown railroad to ballast the tracks on 32d street between 38d and 35th streets to a level of the plane of the rail surface. The road is also or- dered to make other repairs to the tracks so as to permit the most successful work- ings of the wheel guards, and reduce to a minimum the liability of maiming or in- juring any one. The Glen Echo railroad has now com- pleted its double track for the entire distance of the road, extending from Chevy Chase to Cabin John bridge. The service on the road is better than ever before, and the rolling stock much superior to the cars used on the old line. The road expects to do a rattling business this summer, mak- ing a specialty of pleasure parties, and will be a formidable competitor of the Great Falls road, the latter line charging two fares, while the former only charges one fare for the trip. The Temperature. The meteorological summary for the month of March, from observations taken by Prof. M. F. Burrows, at Brace’s drug store, corner of 30th and M streets, shows that the mean monthly temperature was 40.4 degrees, while the monthly range of the thermometer was 5% degrees. The maximum temperature was 82 degrees, and the minimum 24 degrees. The total rainfall for the month was 2.8% inches, and there were fourteen days upon which 1-100th or more of an inch of rain fell. The snow fall tor the month was too small to be mea ured. Frost occurred four times during the month, and hail fell on four days. There were nine clear days, twelve fair ones and ten cloudy days during the period. The prevailing direction of the wind was from the northwest. The School Closed. The death of Miss Anita Ulke, the talent- ed teacher of German in the Western High School, is mourned by all of tne pupils of Curtis building, who admired her great! The news of her death proved a thund bolt to them. An entertainment, the fifth musicale of the season, s to have been given yesterday at the school, but the event was postponed.
