SITE OF AN OLDEN CHURCH ee Special Corres pondence of The Evening Star. WILLIAMSBURG, Va., November 21, 1898. What is said to be the quaintest, as ft is one of the oldest, church buildings in America was visited Star Te- spondent recently. It is in Lancaster coun- ty and is said to have the distinction of be- ing the only church in this country which yet remains exactly as it was in colonia! days. Other colonial churches still stand- ing have been so much “restored” that It is well-nigh impossible to gain from them an exact idea of what they formerly were. This old building, know as Christ Church, due probably io its inaccessible location and the consequent withdrawal of its congrega- tion to other churches, has had no altera- tions whatever made in it excepting those caused by ume. Those it has withstood to a remarkable degree, owing to its sturdy and solid construction. The church was built in the year 1732 on of another, which had been erected seventy years before. Much of the same material which had done service in the first church was used in building the sec- ond. The old tombstones, bearing dates of 1669, arefully removed into so the vesiry book of the par- ish. kept from the year 1654 to 1779, a vol- ume of great value and interest. Recently the Society for the Preservation of Vir- ginia Antiquities has been Impressed with the imporiance of caring for so unique a relic and has donated a sum to be used in preserving the building. Pride of Proprietorship. The location of the church is so difficult of access that comparatively few have ever seen it. It is guarded by an old colored man, who lives in a shanty across the road- side. He fairly beamed with delight when The Star correspondent called upon him, for visitors are scarce in this out-of-the-way spot. The church, which he regarded with the pride o? proprietorship, never falls to elicit admiration from all. Uncle Tom con- ducted the correspondent with much cere- mony into the church, which {s built in the shape of a Greek cross, with four beaut!- ful arches supporting the center and form- ing a lofty dome where the arms of the cross deflect. The pulpit is perched high up in the air on the side of the northeast arch- way, and to get into it one has to perfarm the rather difficult feat of climbing a nar- row, winding stairway, now in a very rick- ety condition. Over the pulpit is a quaint sounding board. and at the foot of the stair ts the old-time clerk's desk. These and also the communion table, pews and massive doors re of solid black walnut, carved by hand. The pews are square, with backs so high that while sitting or kneeling their occu- pants are entirely hidden. Small chance there of stealing a glance at pre neigh- bors across the way, for, as old Uncle Tom remarked with a chuckle, “There warn't rothin’ to do but jest look at the preacher or take a nap.” This preacher, it may be mentioned, re- ceived as salary 16,000 pounds of tobacco a year, as was the custom in Virginia. To raise this, it being a state church, the ves- try assessed each man in the county a cer- tain amount of to} pelled by law to the church or not. Dedicated to Law Officers. of the pews was dedicated to the use of the county magistrate, justice of the peace and sheriff, who filed solemnly in of a Sunday with all the dignity befitting the upholders of the law. Opposite, and facing the puipit, is the largest pew in the church, equaling in size a room of considerable pro- portions. It has seats around all four sides. Its backs are nearly five feet high and vere formerly surmounted by brass rods, which held thick damask curtains, so that even when standing those ins could neither see nor be seen. This pew, the guide said, belonged to Robert Carter, who was commonly called king” on great wealth and social import He owned 300,000 acres of land and and was one of the h acco, which he , Whether he a com- ended One nee. 000 negroe: est known characters of early day: He was treasurer of the colony for many years, governor, speaker of the house of cesses and president of the council in 3. He was the builder of the church In the vestry book his name even that of the minister. ‘The whole north side of the bullding was given up “for all time to come” to the use of his servants and dependents, and non> comes before ef the congregation ever thought of enter- ing the church until the Carter coach ar- rived and “King” Carter and his family had taken their place The aisles are formed of massive pleces of freestone and are as solid and smooth today as when they were first laid, nearly 200 years ago. ‘The original communion service is preserved in good condition. It is of silver, and was brought over from England An Old Souvenir. Under the pulpit is placed for safe keep- ing a relic of unusual interest in the shape of an old cedar dial post, which formerly stood outside the door. On it is still legible name of John Carter, and the date, This post was one of the relics of the church, which had been built by John ter, father of the “king.” One of the tembs which were removed from the older hureh is In memory of this John Carter his wives, of whom there seems to been a goodly umber. The epitaph ions no less than five, who, it adds, the and » all his wives successively, and died him.” This tombs bears the date 1669. In th? center of the building is a flat slab let into the stone floor just at the crossing of the aisles. his, tradition say! was placed there in memory of a plaste who fell while working on the lofty dome and was killed on the spot. Outside is the littl graveyard similar to that which all old churches have, with here and there the gleam of a marble slab or headstone showing through the clinging masses of ivy and periwinkle which cov-r it. “King” Carter's tomb, originally very massive and handsome, with the Carter coat-of-arms cut upon ‘It, is now broken and defaced, and les in fragments. M of it Search for Treasure. Several years ago a gang of men, be- lieving the tradition that “King” Carter had been buried with many of his diamonds and other jewels upon him, broke an entire side off the massive tomb and dug up the coffin. This act aroused the peopl» of the neighborhood to such an extent that had the thieves been caught there is small doubt but they would have been forthwith put into “King’” Carter's place. For a long priod services were held in the church only once a year, but of late even this has been discontinued, and the old butiding would have been left to the mercy of the elements, but for the interest recently awakened in It. > CONDENSED LOCALS. A young colored man named Frank Proc- tor was conyicted in the Police Court to- day of a charge of assaulting Thomas Walker. It was shown that during or- inary row Proctor used a knife on Walker. He was given a sentence of six months in Jail. Mr. Everett Dufour of Hyattsville went gunning recently rear Beltsville, and suc- ceeded In bagging cleven rabbits, nine quail and five woodecck. ‘Thomas Horr, and John Flynn were in the Police Court teday, charged with turning in a false alarm of fire.

Reports Received and Addresses by Distinguished Churehmen— Baptist Home Affairs. The fifth session of the twenty-first d nual convention of the Columbia Ass tion of Baptist Churches was called to der at 10 o'clock this morning in the Me tropoli A ing house of Church, corner 6th and east, Moderator R. R. West presiding. Re- ligious exercises were led by N. C. Naylor. The first business of the morning was the report of the committee to audit the treas- urer’s report. It was received and adopted and t smmittee discharged. The treas- urer’s report shows the association to be in an excellent financial condition. The re- ports of the committees to nominate a new executive board and to select the next place of meeting, respectively, were deferred. The report of the committee on the sup- pression of the liquor traffic w: by W. 8. O. Thomas, the chairman, read. The next report was that of the co} mittee on Bible and tract distribution, G. the n Baptist streets north- s submitted nd W McCullough, chairman. Features of Morning Session. Interesting features of the morning ses- of Rev. R. G. Sey- of the American sion were the addi mcur, a representatiy Baptist Publication Society, and Rev. J. M. Frest of the Sunday school board of the southern Baptist convention. Both spoke entertainingly of the work of their respect- ive associations, much interest being mani- fested in what they said. The report of the Baptist Home read by the clerk of the association, Mr. S. M. Yeatman. The report announced the con- tribution of $1,000 by Mrs. Louisa A. Beau- champ Hughes to the fund for the erection of new dormitory accommodations at the home. At the conclusion of the reading of the report a resolution was adopted author- izing the board of trustees of the home to opportion $1,100 to carry forw: ard the work on the new dormitory, and urging the dif- ferent Baptist churches of the District to raise their respective shares in the sum so expended. The report of the Woman's Baptist Mis- sionary Association was also read by Clerk Yeatman. The association meets every ‘Thursday at Calvary Baptist Church, and is filling a long-felt want in its particular iine of Christian work. Gives Notice of Amendment. Rav. J. J. Muir gave notice of an amend- ment to article 4 of the association consti- tution, which will be called up for adoption at the next annual meeting. The amend- ment provides that the annual meetings shall begin the Monday immediately pre- ceding the third Tuesday of November, and that the annual sermon shall be preached at the first session, which will be held in the evening at 7:30 o'clock. Mr. Muir said this action was necessary to prevent an- other conflict with Thanksgiving day serv- ices, such as occurred this year. Rey. Dr. Hitt of Richmond spoke inter- estingly of denominational publications and urged more interest in such work. Dr, Hitt also pronounced the benediction, and shortly before 1 o'clock the morning session } adjourned. Lunch was served by the ladies of the Metropolitan Church in the chapel. There will be meetings of the association this afternoon and evening and also tomor- row evening. Dr. Whitman's Criticisms. At the session of the association yester- day afternoon Rev. Dr. B. L. Whitman, president of Columbian University, deliv- | ered an interesting address on the subject | of education among the Baptists, criticising the governing boards of a number of the institutions of the denomination. Dr. Whit- man said he would speak plainly of the | shortcomings of his people, and while he was not to be considered pessimistic, yet he had seen many things wherein improve- ments would be beneficial. The word unl- versity saculd not be used by an institu- tion when college would suffice and be more appropriate, easily covering all that was taught. Dr. Whitman declared too much time is devoted in colleges to teaching that which should be learned in preparatory schools, the south being particularly a sut- ferer in this respect. His address was timely and interesting throughout. Officers were elected yesterday, the pres- ent moderator, clerk and treasurer being chosen to succeed themselves, as follows: R. R. West, moderator; S. M. Yeatman, clerk, and Waring C. Evans, treasurer. Reports Discussed. The session was taken up to a great ex- tent by the discussion of the report of the executive board. A number of other re- ports of officers, committees and boards were received and discussed at some length. Among the delegates are the following: Anacostia, Rev. E. -W. Bliss; Calvary, Rev. 8S. H. Greene; E Street, Rev. J. J. Muir; East Washington Heights, Rev. James W. Many; Fifth, Rev. C. C. Meador; Firat, Rev. C. A. Stakely; Gay Street, Rey.

Court Asked to Issue Order Against Robert Shafeldt. Florence Audubon has filed a bill in equity asking that an order be issued re- quiring Robert Wilson Shufeldt, to whom she was formerly married, to pay her $50 a month alimony, as directed by the cir- cuit court of Montgomery county, Mary- land, in February last. The defendant was at one time, it is said, surgeon in the United States army, and is now on the re- tired list, and. at present resides in the District of Columbia. Since thé hedting of the case by the cir- cuit court’ of Montgomery county, where the eomplainant obtained a decree of divorce and an, allowance of $600 a year ali- mony, Shufeldt has, it is charged, refused and neglected to observe the order of the court, andj actording to the petition, re- moved from the jurisdiction of the court, in_ order to aveid such payment. The complainant avers that Shufeldt con- templates leaving this jurisdiction and go- ing to the East; Indies. She asks the court to issue a writ of ne excat to prevent him from leaving the District of Columbid and the jurisdiction. of the District Supreme Court. i uF 4 3 -——»——_ Property ‘Bequeathed to Wife.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CUMBERLAND, Md., November 22, 1898, Wild game of all kinds is unusually plen- tiful this season, and few hunters have re- turned without well-filled game bags. The mountains of Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsylvania, all to be reached in a few hours’ travel from Cumberland, are fairly alive with bears, deer, wild turkeys, ; heas- ants, quail, woodcock, rabbits, squirrels, opossums, raccoons and other game. The woods of West Virginia are, perhaps, the mo® populous hecause of the law prohibit- ing the killing of deer and wild turkeys until 1901. These species of game have multiplied wonderfully and have been de- stroying the farmers’ crops. In fact, noth- n be left in the open field. —ae tur- id the corn shocks and consume barrels in a very short time. They are seen s forty and fifty in a flock, and are quite tame as the result of not having been chased and shot at. The farmers com- plain greatly and threaten to slay the for- agers in self-defense. Sport in West Vir- ginia is limited to squirrels and rabbits. John Steganious, the famous one-armed hunter of Hancock, Washington county, Md., has killed already thi son thirteen wild turke One day last week he killed four, the largest dressing fifteen pounds. Mr. ‘Steganious is s the most ex- pert hunter, considering his physical dis- ability, in the count His right arm is to the shoulder, and with his left all his work. With a pole he can, one arm, take a skiff across the when it is greatly swollen in a dash. He can load a gun in an instant, and wary Indeed must be the turkey or phi ant that escapes him. Mr. Steganious p sesses great strength in his one arm. as many with h Potomac It is true that it serves him better than does many a man’s two. He is a born hunter, knowing the habits of game perhaps as well as any man in the countr; He knows. exactly when to go into the woods for the kind of game that he desires to kill, and it is rare indeed that he returns empty- handed. A few bears have already been killed in this section. Jacob Slabaugh recently trap- ped a two-yea jd black bear at Potomac Spring, near the famous Fairfax stone, in Garrett coun The bear weighed nearly 300 pounds, and, it is thought, was the mate of the one still roaming in the same locality. Bears are plentiful in the moun- tains in Bedford and Somerset counties, Pennsylvania, north of Cumberland. Sev- eral have been slain and placed on the market at Bedford. Several deer, shot by hunters hereabouts, have been brought to Cumberland. James and George Carson were husking corn near Piney Grove, this county, when to their surprise a deer bounded across the field in which they were working. They seized their guns and gave chase. James fired twice with No. 6 shot at a distance of thir- ty yards, and after running about twenty yards his prize fell dead. It was a fine young buck, weighing 105 pounds. Messrs. De Warren H. Reynolds and Fer- dinand Williams of the Cumberland bar, in a hunt on Mr. Reynolds’ farm, four miles north of Flintstone, succeeded in bagging five pheasants, three partridges, four squir- rels, twenty-seven rabbits and one wood- cock. Wild turkeys and deer are abundant on Mr. Reynolds’ premises, but he neither shoots them himself nor permits others to do so. Rev. Quinton C. Davis, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Cumberland, who is a crack shot, reports rather a novel experi- ence. Last Saturday he succeeded in bring- ing down a pheasant at which he had been shooting for four years. The bird was un- usually game, and its body bore marks of previous “‘pepperings.” Two huntsmen brought to Cumberland one day last week 150 pheasants and 300 rabbits. The local market is glutted with this sort of game. One hunter living near by in West Virginia killed in one season 1,500 gray squirrels. ‘To give an idea of the abundance of game the results of a few hunting trips are de- tailed: Paul Ritter, C. Lond and Lynn Reid of Cumberland in a day’s hunt in West Vir- ginia killed twenty-one rabbits. A. F. Par- ker and George Beall shot in a hunt along the South Branch twenty-two rabbits. Charles McMullin, William May and Orange Gordon killed a wagon load of game while hunting in the Cumberland valley ten miles north of Cumberland. They bagged six raccoons, eighteen rabbits, one squir- rel, twenty-one quails, one woodcock and four pheasants. Harry McKinley and Harry Miller cap- tured in Bedford county a raccoon that weighed twenty-three and one-half pounds. This was an unusually large specimen. Wild ducks are reported abundant on the rivers and creeks, —_—-——_ It pays to read the want columns of The Star.

U Street Line to Be Equipped With Underground Current. “The managers of the Capital Traction Railroad Company are purchasing all the necessary material and getting ready to equip what is knowh as the U street branch with the underground electric sys- tem, similar to that which is now in use on the main lines of the road. It is ex- pected that it will be possible to begin the actual street work early in the coming spring. At present the U street branch from 7th street west to Florida avenue and 18th street is operated by an underground system, but it is fot the shme as that on the main lines and was put down when that portion of the line was operated by the ‘Chevy Chase Rallroad Company and before it had passed into the control of the Capi- tal Traction Company. As It is, this sys- tem now stops at Florida avenue and 18th strect, and at this latter point the overhead section of the road begins. It is*now proposed by the company to Ficrida avenue, and as far west as the east end of the bridge across Rock creek. When this change is made it is intended to continue the 7th street cars, which now stop at 7th street and Florida avenue, ov>r the U street line to the east end of the bridge. At this latter point there will be a place where the cars can run round and then come to the main track for the return to the city. In this way the northern ter- minus of the 7th street line will be changed to a point considerably further to ihe west ‘and north, and the cars will no longer be shifted at that point. — A Cake Walk.
