Richmond Baptist College.

The Fifth Baptist Church was crowded
to its utmost capacity last night, the occa
sion being the baptism of the recent con-
verts. During the services a number of
Others signiied their intention of joining,
and will be baptized, probably next Sun
day. The services were conducted by tho
pastor, Rev. C. G. Meador, ably assisted by
the Rev. DIR. Dickinson, of Richmond, Va,
editor of the Religious Herald of that city.
DIR. Dickinson is in Washington for the pur-
pose of raising funds for the Baptist Col.
lege of Richmond. The institution has
been in existence many years, but
the intention is to enlarge it and establish
nrst-class library. Fifty thousand dol
lars has been promised in New York on
condition that $4,000 shall be raised in
Virginia and vicinity. The amount has
been collected to within $4,000, and,
judging from the interest taken, the peo-
pie of Washington will doubtless do much
toward completing the required amount
and enable the college to become one of the
first institutions of the kind in the Union.

DYING IN SAVING OTHERS.
How brave Herbert Collins Lost
fAia Life.

A very sad accident occurred last even
ing, aud resulted in the death of Mr.
Herbert Collins, IL years old, son Of Joseph
Collins, the well-known contractor, resid-
ing at No. 3016 street, West Washing.
ton.
About o'clock Mr.. Collins was rowing
on the river, near the Potomac Boat Club
landing, when he saw boat capsize, in
which George Edie and Frank Crawford,
two boys, were rowing.
The boys were thrown into the water
and were in danger of drowning, when Col
Inns and another man named Demar started
to row to their assistance. Collins reached
the spot first, and in trying to pull the
drowning boys into his boat, 1t was cap
sized and he himself thrown into the river.
Demar had come up by this time, but while
he was rescuing Edie and Crawford, brave
young Collins was drowned.
The manner in which young Collins lost
his life was particularly heroic. After be-
ing threwn into the water instead of call
ing upon his companion in the boat to save
him, he swan out of the way to give a
chance for the others to be saved first, thus
losing his own life. The relatives Of the
drowned man have host of friends in
West Washington and this city, and have
the profound sympathy of all who know
them.

The Work OF the Citizens Com
mittee.

Wash. Cor. BaIllmOle sun.
There Is danger that the Citizens Commit
tee, which has really done good work toward
breaking up the organized robbery which
prevailed here, may drift into the control OF
persons more interested in furtherlng per-
sonal aims than in promoting peace and Sc
CURLY In the community. II 10 alleged that q
hand which tho community has always looked
upon with dlslrust is secretly moving tho
scenes, and that II this Is permitted to con-
tinue, much OF the good results which are an-
tiCipated will not be realized, The President
has been induced to pardon two notorious
villains, Leary and Murphy, leaders OF the
three-card monte gang which piled their ne.
fafious game in perfect security under the
shadow OF the Capitol, on tho plea that they
can be used TO give valuable testimony
against the ex.detectiyes. The Citizens Com
mlttee was deceived into asking this OF the
President and II Is understood that the request
was granted against the emphatic protest OF
United States District Attorney Corkhill who
convicted them. No leading member Of the
bar has the slightest Idea that any jury VIII
attach the least weight to testimony from such
a source, or that conviction will follow from
anything they may say. The Grand Jury
may indict upon their statements, but IN
diCtment and conviction arc different things,
and, TO say the least, the wisdom OF turning
such characters loose 10 prey once more on
the public because OF slender hope that
through them others no worse may DO sent
10 take their places In the penitentiary
Is questionable. The Citizens Committee Mt
It's last meeting also passed resolution re-
questing the Attorney General 10 employ
special counsel to prosecute the cases which
may grow out OF their Investigations. There
is no necessity whatever for the employment
OF special counsel In these cases, as the
present District Attorney has both the time
and the ability TO manage them as they
come up.

Was II murder or Accident?

The Sixth Precinct Station was notified
about 10 o'clock yesterday morning that q
man was lying in pond on the Metropol-
itan Branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road apparently dead. Officers Slack and
Sullivan went to the place indicated and
found that the man was Charles Draeger,
of 2l2 G street northeast. He was not
dead, but DIR. Purvis, who attended him
when taken to the station-house, said he
had received a conclusion of the brain,
which would probably prove fatal. The
man has not recovered consciousness,
and it is not known whether he met with
an accident or was foully dealt with. Two
men were arrested near the place where he
was found, but as there was really no
cause of suspicion, they were only charged
with being drunk. 1t is probable that the
mans injuries were the result of an acct
dental fall Though the railroad trestle un-
der which he was found.
