CHAPEL OF THE Molly COM
HUNI0N


FATHER HoBBIE EXPLAINS THE AC-
TION OF THE EPISCOPAL CONVEN-
TION.
Yesterday, the feast of the Holy Trinity,
Mr.. Hobbie announced to the usual large con-
gregstion at the chapel of the Holy Commun-
ion, the action Of the recent diocesan conyen-
tion held In this city. He stated that the con-
veution had refused to grant to this congrega-
tion the right to set itself apart as q separate
organization. He said he did not iEtend to
critlcise the action Of the convention but merely
wished to inform the congregation as to the
position in which they now stand; that this re-
fusal did not make the chapel any less church,
but left 1t In precisely the same position that it
was in before the convention, which was
chapel In the parish OF st. John and under the
supervision of It's rector while he (Mr. Hobbie)
was only officiating under him, which was q
position he was proud to hold. He also stated
that the services would be held as usual and
the chapel still continue in st. john parish.
The serviee-was the beautiful one Of the Prot
estant Episcopal Church, none other ever hav-
ing been used at the chapel. The music was
very good, especially the offeratory anthem by
the choir director, Mr., Particle. There was
profusion of flowers, tastefully arranged, and
rendering the altar beautiful with their lowell,
ness. = 100 -
Mr.. Hobbies sermon was on the truth of the
doctrine of the Holy Trinity, showing thai as
these attributes were those of the Infinite that
they consequently could not be understood by
finite minds, khaa 3 Above mans reason, Just as
the doStJne o. the incarnation is, and also that

,Fiercer criticism and invective have been
brought to bear against the District authorizes
with reference to the measurement of improve
ments than upon any other subject.
The unparalleled work accomplished, and
the rapidity with which 1t was performed, rem
der impossible the absence of discrepancies and
of errors In measurements. Reasonable care
and the absence OF fraud on the part Of the
authorities must exonerate them, In all Justice,
rom harsh comment in respect to this matter
In this connection the testimony of Charles
:. Barney, an assistant engineer employed by
the board, and the share taken by him in the
measurements. will be referred to. And It Is
proper In the outset to quote the followinglan-
guage concerning him, used by the leading
counsel for the memorialists, and found on
page 544 Of the testimony. Referring to Mr..
Barney, Mr.. Merrick said: ~ feel 1t Is due to
him we should state there never was any sus-
picion lodged In our mind of his integrity"
This statement particularly referred TO one
transaction, but counsel will hardly deny his
willingness TO give to It general application in
regard to Mr.. Barney.
Mr.. Blickensderfer, the engineer employed BY
the committee, and Mr.. Cluss, the former chief
engineer Of the board, also speak in high terms
of Mr.. Barney's Integrity, fidelity, and sccu-
In charge Of the outside work, since the fall of
1871, about the time when the improvements
under the board began.
The following extract from the testimony, on
pages 1859 and 1850, gives comparison Of the
number Of measurements made by Mr. Barney
and by the other assistant engineers, and shows
also the number Of cases In which cross-sec-
tons were obtained before the work was begun,
and those on which they were not taken: 80

WHO HIRED THE TEAM
A MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT A PHAE-

A MISUNDERSTANDING -aDOOi rhAE-
TON. ..L
A man named Thomas Reaga 4 was arrested
yesterday afternoon by Officer Sutton, on the
charge Of grand larceny, in stealiny q horse
and phaeton from Burgdorf & Bros, livery
stable keepers on Eight above d street. There
appears to be. confused statement in regard
to the affair, which makes it difficult to tell
whether the accused really intended to steal
the vehicle or not. Two stories have been re-
lated in regard to the case, either of which
may be true. It seems that light mulatto
girl residing in house of bad repute in that
delectsble locality styled ''ths Division, mt
to Messrs. Burgdorf's stable and engaged the
team for three hours for SIS.
It was sent to the place where ordered, and
while standing in front of the house, Reagan
got in and drove off. Officer Sutton was in
formed Of the fact, and shortly afterwards
found the accused in possession Of the turnout
enjoying q pleasant ride. He was taken to
the Central guard-house, and there, although
somewhat under the influence of liquor dis
syowed any intention Of stealing the team, but
considered himself at perfect liberty to use it,
as his money was paying for the hiring.
Judge Smell will probably settle the case to-
day. '
