DRANK SOME OF Ir.-At North Adams
the other day, rcsolute officer seized a
jar of something and took it before a mag
istrate, when the following interesting ex-
animation took place; ....-.
The attorney for the prisoner asked the

"Yes, it was rum; drank some of
it,
The prisoner, q woman, was called.
"Did you have any liquor in your
house when the States Constable called

Hitherto We have had merely cx-
panded telcgraphic reports of the adven-
lures of Captain BuGdington and his par
ty, but the mail now brings full acco u, IS
Of their experiences, which with the ex-
traordiuary escape Of Tyson aud his COM
rades make one Of the most ronatic tales
that even the record Of polar exploration
has afforded. The main facts of the res
cue to the subject now, only to say that
Buddingtoas story agrees in all csScntial
particuiars With those which we have al
ready heard from other sources. There
can be no doubt now that even before
CAP. Halls death there was conflict OF
authority between the naval and the sci
entiGc parts of the expedition, fact
which is highly discreditable to the au-
thoritivs who had its organization in hand
That such conflict should arise from a
United States vessel is we'll nigh inexpli'
cable when We consider the well.recog
nizca rules Of discipline which prevail ii
cur navy. In the course of the efforts tt
adjust matters a paper was signed by thu
opposed officers which may probably be
produced as evidence before the commits
sion. The dissensioRs became worse atte
Halls death, but had nothing to do will
the separation of the crew. The stories
so industriously set a-gcing by sensational
journals intimatiug that there was fou
play in the case of Capt. Hall are not
supported by any known facts. They vii
probably be set wholly at rest when The
commission reports.

The REMOVAL OF THE CHURcH.-The work.
men are bisily engaged to-day in tearing down
the old Presbyterian church Oh Bridge street
The founder of this church, Rev. Stephen
yesterday from the vault in front Of the church
as stated in THE STAR last evening, was born
In Hartford county. Maryland, In 14o. He was
educated at Princeton College, and was licensed
as minister of the Gospel in June, 1919, and
engaged in missionary work in Maryland and
Virginia, in which he endured many prlyatons.
In1Is0 he removed TO Georgetown, and prea ched
to form union congregation, and in 1871
funds enough had been raised to pur-
chase a lot, which is the lot from
which the old church is now being removed
The congre CATION increased rapidly, and in S2I
the small house first erected was enlarged, and
a few years afterwards IL was determined to
pull down the entire building and erect new
he gave certificates to sixteen of his members
under Daniel Baker, to found the + street
church, i'm WashiDgtOn-now known as Willard
Hall. After the death OF Dr. Balch, DR.. John
e. Smith, who was his assistant, filled his place
as pastor, who left in 1910. The pulpit has been
filed since by Rev. r. 4. Berry, Mr.. Atkins
y. H. BOcock, +. i. Brown, Mr.. Taylor. ID. W.
Moffatt, add S. II. Howe, the present pastor.
RIVER NEws.-The steamer John Gibson
cleared to-day for New York with 900 barrels
OF flour. Arrived Steamer Express from Bal
timOre, with general merchandise; schooner j
Wellington, from Boston, with general mer-
chandise to Hartley & Bro; and schooner Thos
Y. Morgan, with ,200 bushels wheat to Hartley
u Bro, and the British brig Ihana, from Liv-
Go. This vessel was detained in Alexandria to
tighten her up, so she could pass up the George
town channel. This is not only a great incon-
Nenence, but very expensive to the consignees
