Mr.. DAVID D, LLOYD, of the New York Trio
u1ae has written new play for John T. Ray
mond, entitled, ''For Congress-" It's first pre-
sentation took place at the National theatre
Washington, D. G. The president, leading
senator's and members of congress were among
the audience of the crowded theatre. Raymond
IN the character of General Josiah Timber, was
called before the curtain at every intermission
and at the end OF the third act, in response to
loud calls, the author appeared upon the stage
and was accorded most enthusiastic reception.
The friends of tie journalist are much pleased
that ''For Congress" promises to be a decided
success. The author has SO adapted the charac-
ter and the actor that fthere is millions in it,
for Colonel Sellers.
SECULAR methods must be gaining rapid
Roadway in religious affairs since ministers have
taken to ''booEing' themselves for political
preferment by rendering samples of their work
to the appointing powers, in proof of their
fitness for the place. At least that is the plan
a candidate for the position of chaplain of the
New York state senate has adopted. In order
TO demonstrate to the members the quality of his
praying he has distributed among them quan-
ity OF circulars containing samples Of his pray
ers. The idea is good one, only it is a qpes-
ton whether the sapient law makers thus as4ail-
ed are competent judges of good praying. That
they stand in need of it experience has amply
demonstrated

PURLoINING LETTERS.
A City Postofiico Clerk Arrested for Rob
bing the Mail.

n WY hEECsttu AoE Ahop-
bing the Mail.
Postmaster Conger has had suspicion for
some time that some one was robbing regis
tered letters in the city postoffice, and wish
ing to ascertain who the thief was, called on
Inspector Henderson to ferret out the guilty
party. Mr.. Henderson put one of his men on
guard, aud it was only short time before he
had good reason to suspect clerk named
Joseph Mccoy. His vigilance was rewarded
yesterday afternoon by detecting Nc
Coy in the act of secreting q
registered letter about his person.
The officer telephoned to police headquarters
for detective, and Detectives Block, Edelin,,
and Cox responded. Mccoy showed fight,
and made futile attempt to chew and swal-
low the letter, He was arrested and taken
before Commissioner Mills, who bound him
over for hearing to-day at noon, the bond
being fixed at $1,000. Being unable to fur
nish this he was locked up at the Twelfth
street police station.
The letter taken was addressed to an In
dian agent, aud contained $40 note and 50
gold piece. Mccoy has been employed in the
postotice here for several years, and it is be-
lieved by the postoffice authorities that he
has been pilfering from registered letters for
some time past

THE STEVENS SCHOOL.
Report OF the Building Inspector and Hi
Recommendations Thereto.

Report OF the building Inspector and His
Recommendations Thereto.
The report Of Building Inspector Entwisle
to the commissioners on the condition of the
Stevens school says that, as to-, strength,
there are no signs of change from an exam
ination made by him in 1879. The DETECTION
of the floors and roof near the center Of the
building is due to the shrinkage of the wood
of which the interior partitions are made.
The exterior walls show no signs of sagging
or settling. but on the contrary, are stronger
now than when first built. The front porch
is sound, though the stops are decayed sufi-
ciently to require reconstructing. The ven
tilation of the building is insufficient, and
should be remeded. The inspector thinks it
unwise to build a new structure. He recon-
mends that the interior walls shall be con-
structed of brick, and four brick ventilating
shafts be introduced He also recommends
the addition of stair hall on each side of
the building, with firoproof stairways of
ample dimensions, and the removal of the
present wooden stairways from the halls and
the location of four cloak rooms.

JUDGE WELDON,
The Friend OF Lincoln, who Succeeds TO
the Court Of claims Bench.

The Friend OF Lincoln, who Succeeds 10
the Court Of Claims Bench.
Judge Lawrence Weldon, who has just hsen
appointed judge of the court of claims to sue
coed Judge Bancroft Davis, is u native Of
Ohio, and is about 81 years of age. Judge
Weldon's lato residence was in Bloomington
ILL.,, where he owns fine property. When
he first went TO Illinois he commenced tho
practice of law at Clinton, the county seat OF
Dc Witt county, and by his unusual ability as
a legal adviser and advocate soon took stand
in the front rank of tho profession in south
ern Illinois, although he was quito u young
man. In 1853, during the campaign oftLin-
coin and Douglas, he took sides with Mr..
Lincoln, being n staunch republican himself,
and worked steadily for his friend Lincoln.
In 1861 he was member of the state leBisla-
ture, aud, when Mr.. Lincoln became presi-
dent, the latter appointed him United States
attorney for the southern district of Illinois,
which office he held until President johnson
displaced him. He was appointed register In
bankruptcy shortly afterward, and held
that position until quite recently. Judge
Weldon and Hon. David Davis ARE
warm friends. This close friendship first
began when Judge Davis was on the bench
and Judge Weldon, then rising young law
yer, pleaded many causes before his court.
Judge Weldon is not what is generally
termed politician, but whenever his ser
vices have been required for the party he has
given them with u will He is an effective
stump speaker and hard worker. Judge
Weldon's position at the bar in his state might
be appropriately termed the connecting link
between the old lawyers of the Lincoln and
Douglas period and the modern orpresent time.
He is married and has two children, married
daughter and son who has just begun the
practice of law. His wealth is sufficient to
allow him to abstain from enforced work. He
is man of fine appearance, and his eloquence,
wit. legal attainments, and conversational
powers will not only make him a favorite in
legal but also in social circles.

The supreme court yesterday rendered
decisions in several cases in which inhabitants
Of Bernard township, Somerset county, New
Jersey, resist the collection of bonds amount
ing To 1927 900, subscribed in aid of the Pas
sale Valley and Peafork Railroad company.
The municipality set up the defense that the
bonds we're not sealed. The court holds that
under the circumstances of this case, the
bonds must be held to be as valid as if they
had actually been sealed before being issued,
butt that this decision :applies only to the
bonds actually owned by the plaintiff, and
not to those transferred to him by the real
owners for the purpose Of having them sued,
where such owners were citizens of the same
state with the defendant, or where, if citi-
zcns of other states, the bonds held by them
severally amounted to less than $500.
