The property on 9th street will be sold. Rev. Mr. Kelly, the pastor of the church, explained the plins. After further remarks the request of the church was granted without a dissenting vote. In the course of a speech on this subject Rev. Dr. Sunderland, as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, whose pastorate with that congregation extends over forty-seven years, said he expected in the near future to ask the presbytery to take action on an application for the severance of his pas- toral. relations, as he felt that he was reaching a time of life when he should be relieved from the duties of such a pos.tion.

The Virginia conference closed its annual session at Falls Church today, and the members at 1.30 p.m. boarded the électric cars for Washington to make a call at the White House, upon the invitation of Presi- dent McKinley. Prior to adjournment the conference edopted resoluticns expressing thanks to the people of Falls Church for the hospi- talities extended, to the bishop for his im- partial rulings, and to the speakers who entertained the conference during its sit- tings.

Recently, however, application was made for the appointment of John.

In doing so, Major Moore called | the attention of Commissi Wight, who | has charge of the poi rtment, to the provisions of the taw governing the ap- rointment of acditional privates on the police force, which provides among other things that such appointments may be made if the necessity therefor is shown. The whole matter has been referred by Cemmissioner Wight to the board of Com- missioners, with the recommendation that the request of the company be refused, Mr. Wight believing it would be unwise to grant it. then taken in > FRAME NEW INDICTMENT. Grand Jury to Make ther Present- ment Against Frank Miles. Yhe’grand jury, it is understood, is hear- ing testimony preparatory to reporting an- cther indictment against Frank Miles for embezzlement. Miles, it will be remem- bered, was formerly an employe of the Dis- trict government. He was arrested last October, charged with embezzlement in connection with the issuance of tax certificates, that being the branch of work of which he was in charge. He was irdicted as Frank O. Miles, and, after being arraigned the l4th of January, Pleaded not guilty. it has developed that the defendant’s cor- rect name is Frank Herbert Miles-and not Frank O. Miles, as appears in the indi>t- ment. To overcome this mistake and an- otrer technical omission in the presentment already reported is the sole reason, so far ar _can be learned, why the grand jury is today engaged in framing a new indict- ment, which will be substituted for the one now on record. A Star reporter: was informed today at the office of the district attorney that it is the intention to place Mills on trial next week, or, if present plans cannot ‘or any reason bo carried out, the week following. seer ars be .

The mystery surruurding the poisoning of Miss Ann Bean, the aged colored wo- man, last week, has not been solved. De- tective Lacy is still working on the case, but se far be has not yet found any evi- dence which would assist the coroner in fixing the blame on any person. The analy- sis made of the coffee furnished Prof. Hird showed that it had been poisoned, whiie a large quantity of arsenic was found in the ccntents of the poisened woran’s stomach. An examination of the milk failed to show that any of the poison had been put in it. Today the unused coffee in the can was examined, and this, too, was free of poison. The result of the work of Prof. Hird shows that the arsenic must have been put in either before or after the coffee was As published in The Star at the time of the women’s death, the coffee was made Marearyg inate Aprectig pieoenat en Robert Ferguson might take some of it for his dinner, as he went to work early in morning.
