IN ANNUAL REUNION Survivors of Mosby’s Battalion Meet and Elect Officers. ABOUT THE BANQUET TABLE Sketch of the Commander of the Celebrated Rangers. HIS WORK DURING THE WAR Special From a Staff Correspondent. MANASSAS, Va., October 25, 1898. The annual reunion of Mosby’s men began here this morning. After the completion of routine business the election of officers for the ensting year took place, followed by the transaction of various matters of de- teil which is expected to occupy the atten- tion of the members until 3 p.m., the time set for the annual banquet. The officers chosen were as follows: Commander, W. B. Palmer, Richmond, first vice president, J. A. Alexander; second vice president, J. H. Nelson; third vice com- mander, D. G. Carlisle, Baltimore; secre- tary, C. E. Biedler; surgeon, Dr. A. Mon- tero, Richmond, Va.; assistant surgeon, W. L. Dunn; chaplain, S. F. Chappman, Clif- ton Forge, Va.; color bearer, Charles Vest sergeant m: . R. M. Harrover, Washing- to officer of the day, C. A. Fox: color secgeant, John A. Ballard; second color bearer, Frank M. Angelo, Virginia. It can already be foreshadowed that the speeches which will be made during the session will be of the most patriotic char- acter, and will show that the survivors of Mosby's command are as ready to fight for the cause of the Union, ‘f called upon to do 0, as they were to espouse the cause of the south thirty-seven years ago. Sketch of Mosby. John Singleton Mosby was born at Edge- mont, Powhatan county, Va., December 5, INS. His father was Alfred D. Mosby of Amherst county, and his mother Virginia I., daughter of Rev. Mr. McLaurin, an piscopal minister. He graduated at the University of Virginia, and began the study of law. After completing his studies he set- tled in Bristol, a small town on the bound- ary line between Virginia and Tennessee, where he successfully practiced his profes- sion. He married Miss Pauline Clarke, daughter of Beverly J. Clarke of Kentucky, formerly United States minister to Central America and at one time a member of Con- gress, At the commencement of the civil war Mosby was engaged in the practice of law. He entered the army as a private in a cav- alry company, the Washington Rifles, com- manded by Capt. William E. Jones (after- wards Gen. Jones). This company was in- corporated in the Ist Regiment, Virginia Cavalry. Captain Jones was promoted to the command and Mosby was appointed adjutant of the regiment. By the reorgan- ization of the regiment Col. Jones w thrown out and consequently his adjutant was relieved from duty. Mosby was then chosen by Ger. J. B. B. Stuart as an inde- pendent scout. Feeling t there was a wide field for the successful career as a partisan, which he had mapped out for himself, Mosby urged Gen. Stuart to give him a small tail of men with which to operate until he ould enlist a command. He met with re- fusal of this request, but was given a letter recommending him to Ge Jackson, then in the vicinity of Gordonsville It happened that Gen. Rufus King, who was in command of the federal forces at Fredericksburg at this time, was ordered by Gen. Pope to send out a raiding party for th> purpose of destroying as much as possible of the Virginia Central railroad and interrupt communication betw Richmond and the valley. Mosby encoun- te this party near Beaver Dam; captured by the 2d New York Cavalry, and Sent as a prisoner of war to Washington. Gets Important Information. After his release from the Old Capitol and while on the prison transport awaiting exchange Mosby saw the transports bring- ing Burnside’s forces from the south and learned from conversations on board the prison boat that the troops were destined for Fredericksburg to unite w Pope, then on the Rapidan, and not to reinfor McClellan. As soon as the exchange was effected Mosby hastened to Richmond and imparted this information to General Lee, who immer dispatched a courter to General Jackson. The result was the bat- tle of Cedar Mountain. Mosby was rewaré ed by being given authority to organize a separate command. At first a few men from the Ist Virginia Cavalry were detailed to act with Mc but he s peded in obtaining a sufficient number of volunt and the detailed men were, with few exceptions, seni back to their commands. His comand was composed chiefly of young men from Fairfax and the adjoining counties, some from the District of Colum- bia and a number of Marylander: whom had been arrested for disloy and imprisoned by the United Sta’ thorities. A large number lived in t tion of Virginia and Maryland whe by was operating, a serving with him, er home and could enjoy the privilege of sceing their families. Under Stuart and Lee. Mosby was acting under direct orders of eneral Stuart up to the time of the death of the latter and then under General Lee, and was independent only in the sense that both Lee and Stuart had such confidence in him that they permitted him to act on his own discretion. It has been charged tha y's men went in the disguise of federal soldiers. Such, it is declared by members of the command, was not the case. They never masqueraded in the uniforms of federals except that through force of cireumsiances men at times wore blue over- saptured by them from federal caval- This was done because they could get Every man,” sald one of the survivors “knew that the slightest suspicion dishonesty or cowardice would consign at once to the disgrace of expulsion, and although there must have been the usual modicum of human meanness always to be found in a given number of human beings, I am constrained to say after three years of active field service in the regular army that I have never witnessed among vO men and officers more true courage and chivalry or a higher sense of honor blended with less vice, selfishness and meanness than I found during my official connection with Mosby's Partisan Battalfon.”” Grant's Estimate of Mosby. General Grant in the second volume of memoirs said: “Since the close of the war I have come to’know Mosby personally and somewhat intimately. He is a different man entirely from what I supposed. He is able and thor- cughly honest and truthful. There were probably but few men in the south who could have commanded successfully a sep- arate detachment in the rear of an invading my and so near the borders of hostilities long as he did without losing his entire command. J.T. H. —— CASE TRANSFERRED. Action in Police Court Abandoned to Be Renewed Elsewhere. The case of George Rupple, a resident of Southeast Washington, charged with per- mitting his minor child, a boy four years old, to appear on the streets when he was affected with scarlet fever, was nolle pross- ed in the Police Court today by Prosecuting Attorney Pugh. This action was taken for the reason that the prosecution should have been brought in the name of the United States instead of by the District. Health Officer Woodward consulted Mr. Mullowny, the prosecuting officer on the United States side of the court, and decided to proceed against both the father and the child. This, it is said, is necessary under the law, which the attorney thinks is pos- sibly in need of an amendment. The prosecution will be brought against Mr. Rupple and his child under section 3 Austin, today continued his inspection of the various precincts, and during the aft=r- noen will visit Nos. 6, 2 and 8 He has been me d with the result of his inspection far.

He proceeded to show that the proposed conferences at Lambeth, for which the invitation was extended, would consist of sixteen members, of which the American church would be entitled to two. “They evidently realized that we are op- posed to 16 to 1 over here,” said Mr. Lewis at this point, “and consequently made our ratio in this respect 16 to 2.” Mr. Lewis offered a resolution declaring that in the government of its affairs the church should preserve its own autonomy. He saw, he said, possibilities for much trouble {f such consultations should be au- thorized. The Daily Offices. The next business on calendar was the resoluticn of Rev. Mr. De Rosset of Spring- field, providing certain regulations to he followed by ministers in the holding of the daily offices. He supported his idea and was followed by Rev. Dr. of this city. “As a priest who has in his church daily offices every day in the year, and who is always present at them when_possible,’ said the rector of St. John’s, “I desire to say, with the greatest respect and with every feeling of courtesy, that it isnot proper for this house to instruct its priests in regard to the daily offices.” He then moved to lay the resolutions on the table, end by a viva voce vote the mo- tion prevailed. The resolution of Rev. Mr. Stuck, pro- posing a memorial chapel at Jamestown, Va., to mark the spot where the Episcopal service was first held in this country, was passed. A resolution presented by Rev. Dr. Lines, proposing 2 bvok of offices, was then taken up and Rev. Dr, Huntington made one of his characteristic speeches in opposition to it, and offered a substitute that he be- lieved would meet the demands for more prayers. It provided that the house of bishops to prepare a serles of prayers sult- able for household and similar purposes to be bound together with the book of com- mon prayer and report thereon to the next general convention, said report to be con- sidered by the two general conventions. This was adopted, Non-Concurrence of Bishops. Non-concurrence was reported from the bishops on Article IX of the constitution as adopted by the deputies. This article governed the trials of bishops, presbyters and deacons. The bishops recommended a new article, and the deputies declined to concur therein by a unanimous vote. The house then went into executive ses- sion to consider the nomination of Rev. George Calvin Hall of Wilmington, Del., to be bishop of the missionary district of Kyoto, Japan. There was a very general impression prevalent among those familiar with the sentiment prevailing among the deputies that the house would decline to confirm the nomination. Rev. Dr. H. Richard Harris of Pennsy)- vania followed Mr. Lewis in opposition to the acceptance of the invitation of the arch- bishop, and offered as a substitute for Mr. Lewis’ resolution another, expressing ap- preciation of the courtesy, but still de- clining it. Dr. Elliott’s Remarks, Rev. Dr. Elliott of this city deplored the remarks of the preceding speakers and the spirit they showed. The relations between the Church of England and the church in America were the relations of comity, of love, of common purpose, of common in- terest and of the same worship. It seemed extraordinary, after hearing all that had been said during the convention in behalt of Christian unity, that such a course as that proposed should be followed. He did Mackay-Smith ! ee why the opportunity to welcome and oneness in the church of Jesus Christ should not be hailed with delight. Dr. Elliott proceeded to show that the rch of England on her part had al- shown readiness to receive hints and tions from the American church, once her daughter and now her sister, upon some of the most fundamental features in her own system. The invitation should be entertained and considered with brotherly love and courtesy. Rev. Dr. Taylor of Springfield and Mr. McConnell of Loulsiane followed in behalf of the adoption of Dr. Harris’ substitute, when a delegate arose and stated that in discharging the special committee on the subject from further consideration of it that the entire question had been settled. Upon this showing a moticn was made to lay the matter on the table, and this was adopted. Depaties Win Their Point. A message was received from the bish- ops announcing the striking out of section 6 of article 1 of the constitution. This was the section which has been the subject of so much animated debate in the house, and led to frank declarations that by in- sisting upon its provisions the bishops were attempting to intrude upon the con- stitutional privileges of the deputies. The section read as follows originally “One clerical and cne lay delegate chosen by each missionary district of this church, or by a convocation of the America® churches in foreign lands convened by proper ecclesiastical authority, shall have seats in the house of deputies, subject to all the qualifications and with all the rights of deputies, except the right to vote when the vote shall be taken by orders.” It was amended in several particulars but in any shape cid not please the depu- ties. Consequently when the question was put on the concurrence with the striking out the entire section it was quickly agreed to by a vote, necessarily taken by orders, as follow: Clerical: 45 ayes, 7 noes, 4 divided. Lay: 35 ayes; 8 noes. Thus was settled the important contro- versy which Dr. McKim brought about last Saturday by taking such a decided step on the affirmative side, Calendared Business Next. Upon motion, the consideration of busi- ness on the calendar was taken up, and there was much amusement when Dr. Dix announced the first/resolution in order was that of Mr. Wilson, proposing a visit to the tomb of Washington. Dr. Dix smiled him- self at this late resurrection of an early convention resolution, ‘and then quietly re- marker that perhaps It could lie over. The resolution offered by Rev. Dr. Prall, providing tor a committee of five bishops and five deputies to report to the next gen- eral convention upon the validity of the orders in the Reformed Episcopal Church, and whether reconfirmation of members of that church entering the Episcopal Church is necessary or dgsirable, was next taken up. Dr. Prall supported his resolution with his characteristle foros) and it was passed by a viva voce vote. ‘president Dix then called up item No. 19 on the calendar, Dr. Prall’s resolution hav- irg been No. 18. Between them were two items. Nos. 17 and 18, one of which was Mr. Spettle’s resolution recommending con- gressional legislation on marriage and di- Vorce. and the other Mr. Trask's résolution on the same subject. = Dr. Dix explained that by agreement this subject would not come under consideration until all other business on the calendar was concluded. The Nomination Beaten. ‘The opposition to Mr. Hall was not based on any personal grounds, nor was it in- spired by any doubt of his eminent attain- ments as a priest. The deputies regarded “APENTA,” THE BEST NATURAL APFRIENT Water. ‘Shows an excellent proportion of sul- phates and chlorides. It is, therefore, a moat Useful aperient.””—Julius MD. 2 his nomination as unwise simply because he was entirely unfamiliar with the field to which it was proposed to send him, and ab- solutely unacquainted with the language or the customs of the Japanese people. It was felt that some one possessing these attri- butes should be selected for work of so im- portant a character, and there was a very decided opinion that some one of the men who have been devoting their best efforts to missionary work in Japan should be chosen. After being in executive on an hour and a half, the doors were opened, and it Was soon known that the nomination of Mr, Hall had been defeated. It was impossible to secure the exact vote. It was given out, however, that the refusal to afirm him was due to Mr. Hall's being too old to learn the Japanese language. Much Business Transacted. Anticipatory of the final adjournment w- day, the deputies completed as much of the unfinished business as possible at the after- noon session yesterday. Considerable time was taken up in secret session in disposing of the case of Rev. Junius M. Horner, nom- inated by the bishops as bishop for the missionary district of Asheville, N. C. A telegram from Rey. Mr. Swepe of Ashe- ville was read representing that Horner had never presided over a mission or par ish, which led the sender to question wheth- er he was qualified for the proposed office. lt was explained, however, that Dr. Hor- ner had had charge of a large school or seminary, and Rev. Mr. Hoffman of New York made a statement of the nominee's eminent qualities for the position, which satisfied the deputies, and the nomination was confirmed unanimously. The committee of marginal readings of the Bible was, on motion of Rev. Reese F. Alsop of Long Island, instructed to give ihe authority for proposed readings intro- duced by it in the report to the next gen- eral convention. Al! pending resolutions on marriage and divorce were sent to the special committee ot thirteen appointed to consider that sub- ject. The proposed amendment to the consti- tution affecting suffragan bishops was re- ferred to a special committee of five, to re- Port to the next convention. Another conference repcrt was submitted on Article I of the constitution, and it was adopted. The committee reported that the differences between the deputies and the bishops had been adjusted in accordance with the sentiments of the deputies indi- cated in the debate during the morning. A motion that the joint commiitee on the revision of the hymnal be authorized to pursue their work during the period inter- vening before the next convention was lost, it being argued that the people had not yet become thoroughly familiar with the pres- ent revision. An amendment was adopted to the canons giving a presbyter an equal right with the bishop of a diocese tc ap- peal to the presiding bishop for a council of conciliation to settle difficulties, instead of the present canon, which gives the bish- op preference in the matter of time. ——— ee Property@t Auction.

Wintridge of coun: first preferred stockholders, who made affidavit to the same, thai ‘the syndicaie which has unde-taken to re anize the road was to realize absolutely $3,000,000. paid by contract, and other millions of profit, and that five directors of the road who are members of the commiitee are both direci interested in the contract vancing in cash only $1.500,000, the sync cate secures several million profit, ov and above the three raillion »omissions.”” The petition filed y Mr. Whitridge fur- ther charged that “the so. ralled advisory committee—Louis Fitzgerald, Edward R.

Hains of the naval battalion of the District National Guard was today informed that, agreeably to his request, the United States steamer Fern, the practice ship of the battalion, will be allowed to anchor in the Washington chan- nel north of K street southwest. The per- mission is given on condition that the ves- sel be so anchored as not io permit it to swing within 400 feet of any wharf, and that it be moored forward and aft with. sufficient anchors to prevent its dragging during storms. 98.25 for $12.50 Suits.! $8.25 for Men’s $12.50 Black Clay Worsted Suits tomorrow.
