RELIGION IN A BREWERY.
The Way Holianders Combine Divine
Services with Barley Fermenting.

Christian at Work
When our genial and eloquent friend Rev.
Dr. Ormiston, was in Holland attending a
great religious assembly, he was assigned for
u resting place to the home of an excellent
and pious Dutch elder. But the good elder
was also a gigantic beer brewer, employing
some 80 hands in the manufacture of
what is considered by our total abstinence
advocates an acCursed thing, but by
the Hollandcrs an innocent and wholesome
beverage This Dutch elder was not satisfied
with being II God-fearing man himself, he
rightly thought his men should be God-iear-
ing also. In the midst of his manifold watts
and stcaming malt houses stands we'll
appointed chapel, into which, at the ringing
of the bell at . o'clock every morning the 250
workmcn gather for prayers. The good elder
generally conducted the services himself, which
consisted of reading the Scriptures, singing u
hymn, and offering prayer. This morning
however, he invited his guest, DIR. Ormiston,
to lead the religious exercises The doctor,
who had not long before delivered an unusu-
ally fine address on temperancc-not total alb
stincnce-in New York, did So and we pre-
sumo with his customary fervor and power.
We offer no criticism on the doctors conduct,
except to express our unqualified approval of
his course as being timely, appropriate, and
calculated to do good. But how some Of our
dainty moralists would protest against such
n proceeding in our locality, ard how they
would lift up their eyes and their hands in
astOnishmcnt if our pulpit Boanerges should
be found some fine morning in chapel oI
some vast brewery asking the Divine blessing
! on the barley fcrmentcrs in their business OF
providing oceans oflager for the thirsty souls
of this metropolis and vicinity Surely lati-
tudo does change the complexion of some
| things,

Dlsnuted Claims,

The second section of the "act to afford as
sistancc and relief to congress and the execu-
tive departments in the investigation of
claims and demands against the government
(which became law on the last day of the
SESSION. is of great Importance TO Il large class
of claimants and to executive officers. 1t
reads as follows:
"That when claim or matter is pending in
any of the executive departments which may in.
volve contloyerted questions of fact or law the
head of such department may transmit the same
with the vouchers, papers, proofs, and documents
pertaining thereto to said court, the court Of
claims), and the same shall be there proceeded in
under such rules as the court may adopt When
the facts and conclusions of law shall have been
found, the court shall not enter Judgment thereon,
but shall report its findings and opinions to the
department by which 1t was transmitted for It's
guidance and action"
1t will be seen that departmental officers
may, under this act, rid themselves of all con-
troversies of law or fact in any matter which
comes before them by having the secretary
refer the same to the court of claims where
il will be iudicialy investigated and deter
mined. After receiving report from the
court, the department will have no response
bility but to be guided by the decision thus
obtained, and to act thereon.

He Did Capture NIosby.

A contributor to the Critic of Saturday, who
signed himself Ex-Rebcl," took issue with
that portion of The REPUBLICANS interview
with Gen. Whitaker, in which that gentle-
man stated he had captured Mosby at Beaver
Dam station in 1862.
THE REPUBLICAN called Gen. Whitaker's
attention to tho matter last night. He said I:
"'Ex-rebel is wrong. If he will look in
Partisan Life with Mosby," published by
the Appletons in 1867, he will see wherein he
errs. The reason that l did not wish Gilmor
to be exchanged was on account of the havoc
Mosby played after he was exchanged"
"If you had caught him in 1866 he would
not have been exchanged, would hep in
quired the reporter.
"He would never have been taken to Fred

ported in dying condition at late hour last
night, his physicians, Drs. Baxter and Bond,
having pronounced his case hopeless For
two months Mr.. West has been victim of
liver disease, and though carefully nursed
and faithfully attended, sank gradually from

death was near. Conscious of this fact he has
borne his sutferings ifianfully and devoted
his time to religious communion, in which he
seemed most happy, and patiently awaited his
end. Mr.. West was born in Concord, n. H.,

of the treasury, who was also an apprentice
in the same office. From the age of 19 to the
close of the late war of the rebellion he was
actively engaged in journalism, as publisher,
editor and otherwise in New England and
Virginia, He was for many years connected
editOrially with the Richmond (Va) Wig,
Enquirer, and Dispatch, and for a long time
prior to and up to the beginning of the late
war was agent for the New York associated
press in Richmond, Va. He came to Wash
ington at the close of the war and resumed
his typographical profession, and for several
years past has been engaged at the govern
ment printing office, and is member in good
standing of Columbia Typographical union.
He has wife and two sons, one of the latter
being Will A. West, who wQs until recently

that are strewn on the body of the fair Albina

What's the Matters

It is said that the work upon the shaft
which is being sunk preliminary to the tun'
neling for the water extension was stopped
on Friday last because water had been struck
in such quantity as to render further opera
tions useless. The men have been iurloughed
for ten days. A REPUBLICAN reporter visited
The ground and sought information, but failed
to learn any facts save that instead of rock,
which the engineers were after, they had
struck water, and that the work had been
stopped. \ call was subsequently, made at
Capt. Hoxie's house, but that officer was not

SLAIN In COLD BLOOD.
An Aged Mother and Her Unmarried Daughter
FOully Murdered.
Found by Little Boy Covered with Loose
straw Graveyard Insurance.

INDIANAPOLIS, Mar. ia fearful crime
was brought to lightat an early hour ycstcr-
day morning, having occurred in n farm house
about fourteen miles west of the city. The
victims were Mrs. Lucinda Forman widow,
aged 80 years, and her maiden daughter, II
namesake 81 years old. They lived alone on
their farm Of eighty acres, and the first sus-
pcon was aroused yesterday in the minds of
the neighbors by no appearance Of life about
the premises. Tho nearest noighbor, Mrs.
Tansel, sent her little son on an orrand to the
,housc about o'clock, but no response was
made to his repeated knockings
KILLED WITH AN AK.
He therefore started home to inform his
mother of this fact and upon going through
the orchard his attention was attracted by a
peculiar pile of loose straw, which he pro-
ccedcd to investigate. Under the straw he
found the body of the younger woman, and 1t
was evident that she had been dead some
time. A deep cut, evidently inflicted with
an AK, across the left cheek had penetrated
into the brain half way through the head,
and there were several other cuts and bruises
about the body. For time the boy was too
terrified to speak or act, and when he par
TALLY regained his faculties he ran to the
nearest house and gave the alarm.
In few minutes quite a crowd had. congro-
gated about the building where the dead
woman lived. The doors were broken open,
and in the kitchen lying on the floor, welter-
ing in her blood, was found the old lady, her
body being partially covered by kitchen car
pet and table. She had received number of
wounds, evidently from the same weapon that
killed her daughter. There werc no marks
Of struggle.
THE ONLY cLEw.
The only clew to the perpetrators of the
deed is an imperfect description of two men
who made two attempts last week TO breal;
| into the house. The first night they attempted
to enter, and, upon being discovered by the
| inmates, went some distance from the hOusC
and built fire where they remained fol
some time. On the next night they at
| tempted to enter by u window, and
upon failing TO raise the sash, threw
chloroforin through the keyhole of the room
in which the two women We're sleeping. They
were awakened by the noise made in attempt
ing to pry open the window, and the mel
took to their heels. In relating the circum
stances to their neighbors, the younger of tht
two women said that she knew one of thu
men, but would not tell his name. The only
plausible theory concerning the crime is tina
its purpose was robbery. The two womer
lived alone on the farm, which they owned
but il is not known that they had any con
siderable amount of money or valuable
about the premises.
A judicial examination is in progress. /
| is thought possible that the murder was com
mittcd to realize graveyard insurance policies
as, after tho former attempt at robbery, tn
women deposited all their money, and thi
fact was well known.
