AN INCIDENT OF DE. PTTZERS CAREER AS A
PREACHER IN A PIONEER TOWN.
At the dedication of the new First PreSbyte-
rian church at Leavenworth, Kansas, sunday,
October "a, Hon. John Wilson made an address
telling the early history of this church, which
was organized in 1856, when Leavenworth was
a pioneer town. Rev. Or. \. W. Pitzer, of the
Central Presbyterian church of this city, then u
student in the Danvile seminary, was invited
to the church in 1857, and upon his ordination
received a unanimous call 10 the pulpit Under
his pastoral administration, which continued
until sol. a church edifice was erected and the
churct;,prospered. "The laborS of Mr.. PitZer,"
Mr.. W ilson said. .were more than acceptable To
his people; he was universally beloved and WAS
exceedingly popular with the chlldien. Mr..
Wilson related the following incident OF Mr..
PitZer'S service there: Mr.. Pitxer boarded at
the Renick house. Many Of the young gentle
men of the city boarded at this hotel. They de-
cided on having what they called y good ti'ne
and sent out for an abundant supply OF wine.
After paTtaking freely they concluded TO send
for Pitzer. they called him. Mr.. PItzer came
down from his room; they wanted him 10 drink
with them: he refused. They then undertook
to force him. Mr.. Pitzer threw OF his coat, told
them he did not drink wine, and the nrSt man
who laid hands on him. lin the name OF the
Lord he would thrash 1t is needless To say
they let him alone.

Callers on Mr.. Blaine.

A GOODLY SHOW OF EMINENT REPUBLICAN
NAMES ON THE LIST.
From the NY. Sun To-day.
Mr.. James G. Blaine has been spending a
few days seeing his friends at the Fifth Avenue
hotel. He gained four pounds in weight on
his Pennsylvania trip, and he now weighs 1914
pounds. His stay in New York has been un-
expectedly prolonged, and it is understood that
semi-public dinner is to be given him by Mr..
stephen B. Elkins this evening, and that he
will not leave town until tomorrow evening,
and perhaps not even then.
Since his arrival many politicians from town
and from out of town have sought him in par
lor 1 OF the Filth Avenue hotel. Mr.. Blaine
came on Tuesday evening. On Wednesday
Senator Eugene Hale, of Maine, arrived On
Wednesday Charles Emory Smith, of Philadel.
phia. and Wayne McVeagh appeared. William
stephen b. Elkins was one of the first callers
Elihu Root came, too. So did Mr. John ].

proprietor of the eighth assembly district
tor from New York and Senator expectant:
ex-tiov. Cornell and ex-senator I. c. Platt,
Leyi r Morton and Chauncey NJ. Depew.
Mr.. Blaine has gone driving with senator
Hale several times, and enjoyed himself in his
room with his callers. Senator Hale said yes
terday that his object in coming to New York
chlidren, whom he is taking to Paris He will
return by the time Congress cOnvenes He said:
'.Mr. Blaine's visit to New York is of no sig
nificance Cannot man enjoy himself be-
cause he has been candidate for President:
Mr.. Blaine is not a candidate for the nomi-
nation In 1888. 1t the republican party feels
that he is the best and strongest man they can
nominate, and that he will be elected and
should offer him the nomination, l have no
doubt that he would accept. But he is not in
New York to work for 1t. His reception in

"hhi lhE H. & T. RDAD PROPOSES To Do In
SOUTHEAST WASHINGTON.
The difficulties in the way of the Baltimore
anu Potomac railroad company acquiring title
10 portions OF three squares of ground south OF
Virginia avenue. between South Capitol and 1st
streets east, caused by a refusal of certain of the
property holders to sell, have at last been re-
moved through condemnation by a marshaPs
Jury ana the subsequent confirmation OF the
awards. These squares are what are known as
squares CPS, west of 695 and northwest OF 6S5,
D unded by south i, South Capitol and 1st
streets east and q and III streets south. The
work of grading, which was also delayed by the
objections of property holders, has been resumed
and Is progressing rapidly that in few days
the additional tracks contemplated Will be laid.
1t Il the purpose to use these squares To great
extent as u general freight yard, but square
west OF 695 will be used as the site OF round
house and possibly of repair shops. The size ana
extent OF the round house and shops have not
yet been fully determined, bat II Is thought that
its capacity will be for thirty or more engines,
and that the shops will be much larger than the
present ones. There are employed in and around
the present round house. with engine men, nre-
men and freight-train men, at present over 12O
men, and it is estimated, therefore, that from
five to six hundred persons are interested In
the removal, and il the number OF hands Is IN
creased, what has been known as the orick-yard
neighborhood may look tor an increase OF popu-
latiOn.
