There was very large attendance at tho
Council of the Sons of Jonadab at Pioneer
Council Hall on Saturday night The hall was
crowded with members, aud eighteen candi.
dates took the pledge and were admitted to
membership. During the present week new
council to be known us Invincible No, 0, will
be organized in Georgetown. The good work
done by this order is beginning TO be appreGl
ated by the public, and tho suggestion has
been made by number among them some
who class themselves as modor to drinkers
that a regular missionary should be employed
to go from place to place, giving public lectures
upon the character, principles, and objects Of
the order, and establish new councils through"
out tho country, Tenders of pecuniary aid in
this work have been made In several instances,
and it is not improbable that such plan will
DO adopted.

The roof on the main building OF Willaris
Hotel, about midway between Pennsylvania
avenue and + street, caught fire from u chin
ney fluo about nine o'clock Saturday night,

large hole in the roof, and considerable dam
age was done underneath to furniture, carpets
and plastering by water. The damage is esti-
mated at $1,000.

Last evening, at the close of the communion
season of Calvary Baptist Church, large
number of the communicates being present,
the Rev. A. L. Mason rendered his resignation
as pastor, to take effect at the end of three
months from date. 1t is understood that this
action is source of deep regret with the
church and congregation, rs the services of Mr..
Mason have tended to build up aud strengthen
that body. He has been actuated in this step
by profound sense of duty under the circum-
stances. He is preacher Of fine abilities and
cultare of deep aud ardent piety; of marked
integrity Of purpose, and of wonderful fidelity
to the duties of his pastorate. His loss TO the
Washington pulpit will be severely felt and
deeply deplored by the religious portion Of this
