Velasco on March 29, 1897, and who was condemned to death and his sentence modified, haz arrived here and was conducted on foot and in chains to Mont Juich Fortress between lines of soldiers and thounted gendarmes. Gen. Rivera was. calm, but he protested against being chained, «Ne one was allow- ed to speak to him.

If the possible that ere s CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR WORK Meeting of the Executive Committee of the Reports of Officers Received—Mr. Ralph Wells Discusses Christian Endeavor in Bible School. The executive committee of the District of Columbia Christian Endeavor Union held its regular monthly meeting last even- ing in the vestry of Culvary Baptist Church. President Grant Leet presided and Secretary Paul E. Sleman recorded the minutes. The meeting opened with devo- tional exercises, consisting of singing, Scripture recitation and prayer. The report of Treasurer George R. Linkins showed a balance in the treasury of $20, and in the special fund of $10. The report for the month of December of the missionary committee was read by the chairman of the committee, Miss Ella C. Lyman. The report outlined the system of Visitation soon to be undertaken by the union committee among the chairmen of the missionary committees of .the various Christian Endeavor societies. The chair- man of the missionary committee of each society in the District will be personally called upon by a member of the union com- mittee, and a conference heid between the two upon the work of the society in mis- sionary directions. Proposed Conference. The report ef the good citizenship com- mittee was presented by Mr. F. M. Bradley, chairman. The report stated that a con- ference of the good citizenship committees of the District had been arranged for Fri- day evening, January 7, in the Fourth Presbyterian Church. The report further stated that the committee had addressed a letter of protest to John Russell Young, librarian of the Library of Congress,against the proposed sale of intoxicating liquors in the library building. The action of the committee was unanimously ratified, and the secretary instructed to inform the li- brarian of Congress of the action of the meeting. The report of the lookout committee showed the work of intervisitation among the societies by members of the committee to be well under way. The committe rec- omended the admission into the union of the Christian Endeavor Society of the Eb- enezer A. M. E. Church, and on motion this society was admitted. The report of the correspondence commit- tee, Miss Anna J. Bell, chairman, stated that the work of the committee was rapidly enlarging. Among other items, it was stated that eleven young people who have recently removed from Washington to other cities) have been followed to their new homes by messages from this committee to the correspondence committee in the city to which they have removed. After the usual social intermission, the roll of societies was called, representatives of forty-eight responding. Mr. Wells’ Addre: Mr. Ralph Wells of New York was then introduced, and spoke upon the topic, “The Christian Endeavor ih the Bible Schoo! Mr. Wells, who is more than seventy years of age, has been engaged in Sunday school work for fifty-one years, and is said to be the best posted man upon mission Bible school work in the country. He empha- sized strongly the necessity of more per- sonal hand to hand work outside of the Sunday school, the need of deeper study of the Bible, and regularity and punctuality in the attendance of the Sunday school. His address was illustrated throughout by in- cidents from his own experiences in all kinds of Sunday school work during the last half century. - The meeting was closed with prayer, and the benediction pronounced by Rev. C. H. Butler. a INHUMAN TREATMENT. Colored Girl Brutally Beaten by Her Father. “This is the very worst case of child- beating that I have ever seen,” said Judge Kimball to William T. Mackall, a colored berber, aged about fifty years, in the Police Court today. The prisoner was given a sentence of eleven months and twenty-nine days in jail, the limit of the jaw. Mackall’s victim was his own child, aged five years, whose face and eyes were swollen and distorted as the result of bicws inflicted by her father with a police- man’s billy and a stick, while her neck showed cuts which she said were made by her father with a knife. It was alleged that the motive for Mack- all's crime was to secure the proceeds of a pelicy of insurance, amounting to $400, which he had placed on the child's life, which could be secured only upon her death. The attention of Officer O'Dea of the second precinct, on whose beat the Mack- all's live, was called to the fact that Mackall was treating the child in a horri- ble manner several days ago. He at once began an investigation, but was not able to secure any direct evidence until he got Frances Ames, a colored woman, inter- ested in the case. Yesterday Mr. O'Dea, acting upon in- formatton received from the Ames woman, went to Mackall’s house. Upon going into one of the two rooms occupied by the family the policeman found the child lyirg in bed, covered up. Her head was a mass of bicod. As Policeman O’Dea ap- proached the bed the little girl screamed: “Please don’t touch me. Papa will beat me. The officer asked the child if her father had made her head bleed, and after re- plying yes she caught a glance from her father and said: “No, no; papa did not do it.” Mr. O'Dea then placed the man under ar- rest, and a furious fight ensued between the two. Finally Mackall was subdued and he and the child were taken to the second precinct station. An investigation of the little one’s condition showed that besides being injured in the face, neck and eyes, as above stated, several of her firger nails were black and blue, and over her shoulders were great marks, as though nade with a heavy stick. Later the girl was placed in charge of some friends of the mother. Before Judge Kimball the mother stated that owing to the condition of her husband's health she was compelled to be at service most of the time, but that if she was permitted to retain possession of her.child she would pay for its support. Jadge Kimball consented to this, but requested Officer Wilson of Sanitary Of- cer Frank’s office, who was present, to see that the child was not again inhumanly treated. that he had whipped Little Mackall admitted the girl, but denied that he had struck her about the head or face. These wounds were, he said, caused by the child falling while playing foot ball. —__>+—__ The Commissioners Explained.

Mount Sinai Church, on 14th street east, near the Metropolitan car stables, was the scene of a watch meeting Friday night, but before the singing of the last hymn there was trouble. It became necessary to appoint a doorkeeper at the church, for the reason that the bright lights and the music attracted some of the belated pedes- trians who were wending their way home- ward under the influence of sundry liquid refreshments. It was about midnight when prayer was interrupted by the loud noises and profanity for which some of the disagreeable ones were responsible. Pastor Moone appeared in the Police Court this morning and related to Judge Scott the conduct of Armstead Washing- ton. “Was he concerned in the disorder?” the court inquired. “Yes, sir,” the pastor responded. “I never forget features. He gvas very brave until somebody out front’ blew a police whistle, and then he jumped out the win- dow. A few minutes afterward he follow- ed the, policeman in as if he hadn't done a thing.” “In what way was he disorderly?” the court wanted to know. “He exhibited a large degree of temper, answered witness, “and he had a heavy breath of whisky.” Washington denied that he had figurea in any disorder or that he had jumped out the window. He claimed that he assisted the doorkeeper when the trouble occurred, but there were several witnesses against him and a fine of $10 was imposed. SS Runaway Victims Improving. Miss Tarrant, who was so severely in- jured in the runaway accident Suaday which resulted in the death of her aunt, Miss Belote, rested quietly last night at the residence of her friend, Mrs. Cohen, No. 915 6th street northwest, and was considerably better this morning. Mr. Puller, who is still confined to his room at the Raleigh, is also improving. The remains of Miss Belote will be taken tonight to Norfolk for interment. —~ An Two Charges. Harry Tracy was before Judge Kimball today on the charge of carrying-a pistol and also with being a vagrant. “I am guilty of having the pistol, but I ain’t no vagrant,” was Tracy's reply to a question from Clerk Potts. Judge Kimball sentenced him to sixty days for carrying a concealed weapon and sixty days additional for vagrancy. Harry E. Ashley, a young man who was found in Tracy’s company, was sent to Sanitary Officer Frank by Judge Kimball and arrangements made to send him to Philadelphia, in which city Ashley said his parents live. ——— Water Pitcher as a Weapon.

A. Ham- mond, Solomon Lansburgh, O. M. McPher- son, James J. Lampton and Mrs. M. E. Howard, owners of pr: perty on or adjacent to 13th street extended, was received by the District Commissioners today, ing against the proposed occupancy of 13 street extended by an extension of the Met- repolitan railroad system. The petitioners state that such occupancy would practically ruin the street for resi- dence- purposes and decrease values of property thereon and on streets adjacent thereto. Mary of the owners of land in the locality, they further state, left homes in the older part of the city for the spe- cific purpose of greetirg away from the roises and confusion incident to street-car traffic, and to seek quiet and rest in a place they supposed would never be invaded by the clanging of bells end the deafening noises consequent upon the operation of sireet cars. Therefore, the proposed exten- sion of the Metropolitan railroad out 13th street comes, the petitioners say, almost like an invasion of their homes. It is pointed out by the petitioners that Sth street was intended as a residence street, and rot for business purposes or for street car traffic. The street, they con- tend, is entirely too narrow, even for a single track railroad, and its occupancy for such a purpose would, they claim, seriously interfere with its use for ordinary traffic purposes. The street has lately been mac- adamized ever a part of its length, the petitioners state, and made into a pleasant driveway for carriages, hundreds of car- rages seeking it daily to avoid the street cars. To allow a street railway to occupy it would, the petitioners insist, ruin it as a @riveway. Therefore they ask the Com- missioners to prevent its occupancy for such purposes. ——— AMOUNT OF BOND REQUIRED. Orders of Judge ° Cox im Belt Raftway Case.
