DEATH OF MIR. JAMES CoLEe ATE
Brief Sketch OF n Respected Citizen and n
Man OF Brilliant Attachments.

MAN OF brtl1tunt Attachments.
Mr.. James Collegiate, who was we'll known
and highly respected in this city, died at his
residence 61S street, yesterday morning at
the ago of 81 years. The deceased was born
in Westminster, Nd, February 26 1917
but came here when child. He was q
pupil of the late Chief Justice Chase when
the latter was school teacher, and
received the only gold medal ever given
by Mr.. Chase to a pupil, was prepared
graduated at Columbian college. After
studying law and being admitted to the
bar he accepted clerkship in the first audit
ors office, Treasury department, and remained
i'll government employ until Mr.. Hayes's ad-
ministration, q period of over thirty years.
Mr.. Collegiate leaves widow and five children,
all grown. His funeral will take place to-
morrow afternoon at o'clock from his late
residence.
Mr. Collegiate was q gentleman of brilliant
intellect, refined tastes, quick, warm sympa-
thies, and of the most delicate sense of honor.
He was a gentleman to tho core. His mental
culture was profound, varied, and deeply cru
dite. A student all his life he had gathered
the love of men and books to degree seldom
surpassed. Withal he was a modest and un-
assuming man, the fastidiousness and delicacy
Of his tastes forbidding him to engage in the
rough turmoil of life, or to speak of his own
abilities. Had he chosen to plunge into the
noisy world of political or professional life,
his great attainments and brilliant intellect
would have made him famous the country
over. 1t was in the society of his family and
of a few congenial friends that his tastes i'm
PEELED him to spend his life. His private
character was of the most lovable, aud to
those who knew him his death was q grievous
blow.
Mr.. Collegiate and the late James NJ. Car.
Isle, the most brilliant member OF the Wash
ington bar, both read law in the office OF
Matthew st. Clair Clarke, profound lawyer
and great man, well remembered by many
old citizens. The Office stood in rear of what
afterward became Mr.. Colcgate's residence.
Mr.. Carlisle's varied and extensive attain.
ments were recognized and appreciated every
where whore his acute and brilliant intellect
had won its way to place among the most
prominent lawyers. Had Mr.. Colegates
ambition led the same way he would have
added another name to the large list OF
Washington lawyers whose general culture
lends an additional grace to the profession
they honor and udOrn,

Police Changes and Transfers.

number of police changes and transfers
are about to be made by Maj, Dye. Itis said by
those who know that tho larger portion of the
force will be shifted around with view OF
getting right officers in the right places. The
large number of robberios occurring recently
is said to be the cause of these transfers and
changes. While nothing authentic is known,
II is thought that one lieutenant will be
among those to go. When inquiry was made
about the matter last night neither denial
nor admission could be obtained. Tho com.
missionors will probably act upon tho matter

SlCciai Letter.

Mt. JACKSON, VA, Aug 10.-After the close
of the class exercises in tho Sunday school
normal department yesterday afternoon, the
subject Of education, in the interest of which
the day had been set apart, was again taken
up aud addresses were made by Dr. Geo. A.
Funkhouscr and Prof. G. w. Hoenshcl.
Prof. Kinsey's chorus class met at o'clock
and continued in session one hour. There is
a growing interest in this feature of the as
sembly work, and the class is increasing in
size and proficiency.
Bible reading on fellowship prepared and
conducted by Rev !. NJ. Underwood, followed
the exercises in music and lasted thirty
minutes. At eight o'clock n sermon was
preached by Rev. j. X. Nelson and then
came DIR. Thompson's interesting Evenings
in the Holy Land" which was illustrated by
Photographic transparencies by tho calcium
light. Mr.. Thompson recently returned from
the Holy Land and his habitual clOseness of
observation filled his mind with all sorts of
useful information respecting the character
of the country and the people resident there.
At 6 o'clock this morning prayer service
was conducted in the chapel by Rev. j. w.
Howe, and the elementary music class met at
8. The Sunday school normal classes-chil-
drens, intermediates and senior-were met by
their instructors at s. o. and 10, respectively,
each continuing in session an hour. The
third morning lecture was delivered at II
o'clock by DIR. lands. Science and the
Bible" was his theme. The subject matter
of the lecture was decidedly first class, aud it
was presented in an interesting aud pleasing
way
The attendance is rapidly increasing now,
and will, doubtless continue to do so until
after Sunday.
The following workers arrived to-day;

No Commissioner to be Appointed.

Mr.. j, Hale Sypher, acting as attorney for
the Southern Pacific Railway company, on
July 25 last addressed letter to the secre-
tary of the interior requesting the "appoint-
ment of a commissioner to examine without
delay sections of the completed road on
the line of the Southern Pacific rail-
tests filed by bIessrs. Rosecrans, Cobb,
Dunn, and Newell had been with
drawn there remained no obstacle in
the way of making the desired appointment
He cited the statute which provides for the
appointment of n commissioner to examine
and report upon completed sections of land
grant railways, and asked the secretary 3

tory language of the law. To make this ap-
pointment Mr.. Sypher contended the de-
partment of the Interior would waive
no right or principle in the matter /;
that all questions as to the legal
status and rights of the company could be re-
served until after the examination shall have
been made and the report Of the commits
sioner submitted, when the department could
pass on them.
to Acting Secretary Joslyn with the follow
ing Endorsement
No commissioners should be appointed, and
nave so notified Mr. sypheras well as Mr. Newell
II. NJ. TELLER Secretary.
Tho letter will be returned to Mr. Sypher.

A Successful Meeting at tho Baptlst
Church.

A Suec cessful Msetinx n the Baptist
Church.
The parsonage day meeting recently
held at the Brandy wine Baptist church
was grand success. Rev. Fl. G.
Weston, d. D., Of Crozier Seminary,
presided the Rev. j. NJ. Stihe, d. D.,
preached an eloquent An impressive
sermon from the 9th verse of the 18th
chapter of John: "The men which
thou gsvest me-" The Revs. William
w. Dalby, George Tropp, T. B. Cross,
William H. Humphries, j. M. Lyons,
r. w. Perkins, G. II. Thomas and sew
eral laymen we're present, and took
part in the exercises of the day.
An appeal was male to raise one
thousand dollars, to enable the trustees
to finish the parsonage, free from all
debt, and 1t was responded to with the
whole amount and $50 over. The con-
gregation never seemed happier or in
such grand unity and love AZ when the
result was made known by the Secre.
tary, Mr.. John Kits. The company
were then invited to adjourn to the lee
turs rom, where they were served with
an excellent dinner, prepared by the
ladies of the church and congregation.
After the many good things had been
disposed of, visit was made to the
parsonage, which Is now nearly COM
pleted. An afternoon meeting follow
ed, and in the evening, at 7.3O o'clock,
an interesting lecture was delivered
by the Rev. William W. DAILY, of Phila-
delphia.
His subject was popular mistakes,
and q small admission fee was charged,
which realized more than enough 70
pay all the expenses. The day was one
never to be forgotten In the record Of
this old Baptist church, that has labor
ed for God and the salvation OF men fol
10 many years.
Since the Rev. John Wesley Sullivar
has had charge of the church its course
has been onward and upward. Their.
have been several revivals of religion
and consequent increase In the mem
bership, and the congregation are pros
porous financially. When the parson
age is completed 1t will be one of tn,

| The Rev. Mr.. Sullivan is q talenteC
and eloquent minister, aud is earnes

up the ctnrch, and it must ibe a grea
gratificat on to him to See his labor
crowned with such great success. II.
