THE OLD GARFIELD CHURCH


WASHINGTON, June 9.-The protests oil
one ortwo prominent real estate owners are
likely to result III the tearing down Of the
old Garfield Church, which has already be-
come one OF the points OF interest for tour.
lists visiting the city. The Republican gives
the latest phase Of the case. IL seems that
the Plymouth Congregational Church, late
" Organized by colored citizens, sometime
ago purchased from the Christian Church
the ir1me building originally erected by
the latter congregation on Vermont avenue,
and in which they still worship on Four
teeuth street, to which location it was
sometime ago removed. The Plymouth
Church contracted with the Christian
Church to have this editice removed TO Sew
enth street near Pennsylvania avenue
when the new church on Vermont avenue
should be ready for occupancy. As that
time is near ut hand, Rev. DR.. Rankin call
ed on Inspector Entwlatle, for q permit for
the removal. The permit was promised, il
the removal could be made without injury
to the trees along the route. 1t was found
that the removal could be made without
such injury. Butthe permit was not grant
ed. Then Mr.. Deane, OF the First Con-
gregational Church, Mr. Darnelle, Of the
Christian Church, and Mr.. Simmons, OF
the Plymouth, made strong arguments be-
fore the Commissioners in favor oi the
permit being granted. Commissioners Ed.
monds and Ly Lydecker refused to grant it, for
the reason alleged by them, that certain col
ored men, property. holders, had demonstrate
ed against granting it, and because they
wanted TO get rid Of such structures in the
city.
Now, as the church people allege, the
fact Is that, few days ago, = permit was
granted to remove frame building from
near the Arlington Hotel to L street, near
seventeenth. This disposes Of one reason
for refusing to grant the permit, that the
Commissioners wanted to get rid OF such
structures. Again, tits believed that the
remonstrance ofone property owner in the
section where this editce is proposed TO be
removed, has had more weight with the
Commissioners than any objections offered
by all the colored property owners could
have. The frame building Is an historic
one, made famous by the memories Of
President Garfield. In Il he and his
family, and bis aged mother have wor-
shipped. Instead OF being torn down 1t
should be preserved as q national relic.
Any proposition by the Commissioners TO
destroy this church, II made six months
after GaIfeld's death, would have raised
an indignant mob about tseir heads. There
is considerable excitement about this mat
ter. The Congreeationalists and other re-
ligious denominations in this city holding
that 1t is, first, the wishes Of the property
holders, and, secondly, the objections OF
Commissioners Edmond and Lydecker to
q colored congregation, that prevents the
permit being granted. The matter, 1t is
said, will not be allowed to stop here.

CoLuXBus, June 9.-It should be under

Judge johnson sitting on the Scott Liquor
Law, although he did not hear the argu.
ments. Practically the whole case will be
submitted TO the Court on briefs and re.

made outside OF the briefs were by Messrs.

but the Court has allowed until next Satur-
day for the presentation oil additional briefs.

almost q unaninity in the belief here,
among Democrats as well as Republicans,
that the law will be declared constitution.
al. Democratic lawyers who sat, as hear
err, all through the case, with prejudices
and hopes all on one side, admit that the
State had by far the better of the argument.
Even Judge Hoadly as much as intimated
that his blind opponent, Judge West, com.
pletely demolished the Cleveland conten-
tion OF impairment Of contracts. The State
attorneys now express more confidence
than before the argument that the law is
all right. The Cincinnati saloon.keepers
left Columbus completely discouraged.
They had not only become convinced that
they were on the losing side, but they felt
astonished at the temperance lecture OF

tue Other In Buggy.


RICHMOND, Va, June 9.-From the
mountains OF Patrick county comes an
account Of highway duel between Sheriff
Duncklins and Colonel Waller. Politics
was the origin and the recent election the
immediate cause OF the resort to deadly
weapons. The eusual formula Of the code
WA dispensed with. Neither seconds or
surgeons were present. The sheriff was
mounted on horse. Colonel Waller rode
in buggy. They approached from oppo.
site directions at point within 4 few hun.
dred yards Of Colonel Waller's house.
Upon sighting each other each drew his
pistol.
Colonel Waller fired first from bis buggy
seat and Sheriff Dunckling's horse fell with
hole in his head. The valiant sheriff
quickly disengaged himself from the
wounded animal and blsZed away at Colo.
mel Waller. One OF the bullets from his
weapon took effect in the stomach OF Colo
mel Waller. The latter continued to fire
until his cartridges failed to explode. He
then called out 10 the sheriff that he was
wounded and unable to return his fire.
Upon this notification the chivalrous Sher.
itf Duucklinglowered his pistol and hostil;
tiles ceased. Colonel Waller, though SC:
yereIy wounded, drove rapidly home with
out aid. He reported to be convalescing.
Dunckling's horse is dead and the principals
are now said TO be good friends.

Hanging OF Timothy Kelly, One ofrhe
PhEnIx Park Murderers.

DUBLIN, June 9.-Tmothy Kelly, con.
victed of participation in the Phoenix Park
murders, was hanged in Kilmainham jail
at o'clock this morning. He was the
fifth executed for those murders and the
last convicted. There was large crowd
outside the prison, but no disturbance. 1t
Is believed that Kelly died without making
any statement.
SIR. Varisn, member Of the Prisoners
Aid Society, called upon Earl Spencer, the
Lord Lieutenant, last evening, and gave
him his personal assurance that at s
o'clock, on the night Of the Phoenix Park
murders, Kelly was present at a meeting OF
the society. This morning VArian stood in
front Of the Jail, and stated that he expect
ed every moment to hear that Kelly had
been reprieved.
The authorities, expecting great crowd
at the jail during the execution, adopted
Of order. Police surrounded the prison,
marines dressed as civilians mixed with
the crowd, and two companies OF troops
were in readiness for an emergency within
a gate adjscent to the hospital. The crowd
was very quiet. A number Of women fer
vently read prayer Tor the dying. When
the black flag was hoisted over the prison
some persons uttered shrieks aud young
woman fell on her knees and called the
curse OF God upon James Carey, the
informer. The crowd soon dispersed.
Kelly received the sacrament this morning,
aud knelt with priests in prayer to the last
moment. He maintained calm demeanor,
but was very pale. His parting interview
with his mother and friends yesterday was
very painful. Jhismorning he gave a lock
Of his hair to Canon Kennedy, and re-
Quested him to hand them to his mother.
Before his death he repeated promise
made TO his mother that he would leave no
statement regarding the murders.

Attempts 10 Butcher her Babe Caught
with u Knife In her Hand.


. with u Knife In her Hand.
ASHLAND, Pa, June 9.-The unusually
quiet village Of Fountain Springs, about one
and halfmiles distant from his place, was
thrown into high fever OF excitement early
this morning, through the attempt OF an
unnatural mother to murder her child.
The name OF tho woman isAbbie Smith.
Providing herselt with huge butcher
knife, she took the little one in her arms
and proceeded to strip of woods near by,
where she placed it upon the ground. Kueel'
ing by its side she raised her arm, and was
just 10 the act Of plugging the knife into itR
breast, when, hearing an outcry near by,
she hesitated.
Several nnigbbors noticing her peculiar
movements had followed her. They seized
the woman just in time 10 rescue the child
and prevent the mother from executing her
murderous design. Being foiled in the at
tempt to destroy thelfe OF her offspring she
became desperate aud threatened ven.
geance and destruction to the heads Of
those who had interfered with her wicked
purpose. The child, which is about year
old, was then taken to neighbotink house
as place OF safety and the mother allow.
ed 10 depart.
Soon after thisthe crazy woman returned
to demand her child. This being refused,
she grew frantic with rage and set about
breaking in the doors and windows Of the
house with huge stones and clubs. The
inmates, becoming alarmed and terrified at
the demonical attitude oil the woman, beat
a hasty retreat through the rear door, car
rying the child with them. By this time an
excited crowd Of peopleh had gathered about
the scene, when several men rushed upon
the enraged woman, and after desperate
struggle, in which she fought like asstigress,
succeeded in getting her under control and
finally quieted down. That the woman is
suffering from temporary insanity there Is
no doubt. Heretofore she has been known
as q rational and peaceable person. She
was placed aDder the custody Of officers Of
the law.
