THEIEarEN SERMONS.

Raw Hr HarWood Delivers the Flo .lrth
 in the Series Last Evening.
 At St. Thomas church last evening Rev. Dr. Harweod delivered the fourth in the series of Lenten sermons, subject, 'Our church. it's completeness in the presentation of Christian truth"
 In spite of the indictment weather large number were present. Dr. Harwood preach ed from the text, Cor. V, 21-22, and the line of thought in the sermon was substantially as follows: The various sects and divisions of Christians, however much they have inn proved on the earlier Christianity, have not yet become moulded into spotless or per feet church. The church is still militant and therefore imperfect. As necessary elements in completeness, two particulars must be carefully noticed. The first of these essen tials is that nothing should be neglected which pertains to the proper presentment of Christian truth; the other partlculaD is that whatever is presented should be classified and arranged so that the lesser should not appear the greater, nor the more important the less important. In the various forms of religion some have adopted speculative and theoretical belief, having absolutely no foundation on history or fact. These people offer dogmas on their own authority and thus VlOlaC6 Iu0 very IuceaAlhS O1 IAo WOiu, which has the idea of an opinion founded on established authority. No theologian can present dogma with no other basis than his own opinion. Although the statement may be surprising to many, the Protestant Epis- copal church offers very few dogmas and these are to be found in the convention re- ports and the "thirty-nine articles" The principal of these are limited to the ircar- nation and the divinity of Christ. We have many different theories on other subjects, but these dogmas shut out controversy. We stand over against the Church of Rome on account of the two dogmas which it has added, viz: the immaculate concep- tion of the Virgin Mary and the infallibiliIy of the Pope. We, ourselves, in turn, are re- garded by the other Christian churches as being too antiquated. But we uphold our forms of worship and claim for our liturgy that it keeps alive and glowing the Christian spirit. The object of the church is to i'm part and renew the knowledge of the life of Christ we'll as to unite in his worship; and thus our liturgy beginning with the Ad- ginning of the year through his life. The discourse was glowing and eloquent one.

 Brick Thrown Through a Window.
 Early last evening Mrs. Edward G. Mckay, who lives at 129 Chestnut street, was sitting near the parlor window when suddenly a stone came crashing through the glass, mar rowly grazing Mrs. McRay's head and drop ped to the floor. Before Mrs. Mckay could arise from her chair half brick was hurled through the window and struck her on the back of the head, cutting deep gash about one and one-half inches in length. A physi- clan was called and dressed the wound, which was very painful one. It is thought boys threw the stones.

The Disaster to the Connecticut Steam
 CT Capitol City-AH on Board Saved
 will Probably He Raised And Exe-
 paired.
 NEW YORK, March 31.-The steamboat Capitol City of the Hartford and New York Transportation company ran on the rocks at Rye Beach, Westchester county, during a dense fog at o'clock this morning. Captain Russell had the boats at once lowered and the passengers, twelve in number, and the crew were safely landed. The steamboat is now lying in twelve feet of water. Agent Russell despatched the wrecking steamer Haggerty to the scene at 10 o'clock and two divers were sent later by rail to work in re- covering all goods they can reach and also in repairing the vessel.
 The Capitol City left Saybrook, Conn.,, at il o'clock last night bound for New York. She had on board only twelve passengers and pier 24 East river, going at this season of the year only as far as Saybrook, where she connected with the Connecticut Valley railroad for Hartford. Her sister boat the City of Springfield, is now at the other end of the route, 80 that the com pany will send no steamer from New York to day.
 1HO OdplGOI 16 aA O1o OOoU, Ouo ".-a rebuilt four years ago. In her last trip she carried but little freight, which was varie- ty of merchandise. Captain J. N. Russell her commander, has been in the company s service for many years.
 The Capitol City belonged to the Hartford and New York Transportation compa- ny, whose main office is in Hartford: She was built in 1853, rebuilt in 1883 and was equipped with new boilers only two weeks ago at a cost of $25, 600, making her first trip out of New York on Monday, March g, and at the time of her accident she was on her fourth round trip. She had always been considered a safe boat and she stood as rough experience as any boat on the line. She left Saybrook for New York at Il o'clock last night and was offered as follows:
 Captain, James N. Russell; pilot, James Gaines; purser, H. N. Strong; clerk, Henry Gurley; steward, Le Roy Brooks; mate, Thomas Doolan; engineer, L. M. Beebe.
 The exact location of the accident IS at what is known as Parsonage Point, which is close to Rye Beach. The course of the boat after leaving Saybrook was from Stratford Point to Execution Rocks light. Her strik- ing where she did shows that she was about a mile out of her course owing to the fog. AL though the extent of the injury to her hull is not yet known, it is probable that she can be raised and repaired in few weeks. There was marine insurance of $40, ,OO0 on her, and this will cover the company's loss it is expected.

 Sunday Night.
 OXFORD, March 31.-Dr. Lewis Barnes has had a frightful experience this week, having been called in virtue of his office to deter mine the death of two suicides, Johnson and Andrew, and to pass on the death of the vic tim of the latter. Last Sunday evening Jay Andrew called on Miss Williams. His first words to her were, ''Then your beau has not come this evening?" "Yes, he has, now that you have come," replied Miss Williams. He remained while, seeming pleased. The next morning he took breakfast with Miss w. and mother. He was also pleasant then. But it turns out that he had in his pock- ct 8 seven-shooter all the while. Just before he called on Miss w. Sunday ev- enipg he discharged two of his pistol cart ridges Evidently his purpose was to do 8 worse work on Sunday evening than he did on Monday. Mrs. Osborn, where the tragedy occurred, was his half-sister. Nothing was thought of his entering her house with an axe, which he set down near the stove. The funeral of Andrew is attended to-day, the Rev. MT. CleaVeland omclatlng. The Durlal is to occur in Woodbridge.

SsMe TOO.,'

This famous dog of the Mexican hairless species, which took the first prize in his class yesterday at the dog show in this city has a record of nine first prizes in two years, be- sides several special prizes. His first appear ance in public was in New Haven, where he took his first in miscellaneous class of seven dogs. Next in New York, he won first in the same class, beating among other com petitors a valuable white English terrier. Next in Philadelphia, he again won first in the miscellaneous class of ten dogs, seven being of the hairless species. At the non- sporting dog show in New York, same year f'Me Too" again took first place. In New Haven last year, he won first place in the miscellaneous class, beating two of his own kind. Again in Boston, same year. in 6 special class for his breed, he carried off first In New York last spring he won first from five other hairless dogs. Philadelphia also made a special class for fMe Too's kind, in which he was for the eighth time successful. This year the New Haven Kennel club opened a regulgr class for Mexican hairless dogs, getting four entries.
 Some of the visitors yesterday expressed surprise that "Me Too" did not also get the special prize awarded in his class The req son is that this special prize was offered by his owner, Mrs. Hubert T. Foote, New York city, and 'tMe Too" did not compete for it.
 The oil painting of "Me Tool hanging over the case of special prizes nr ar the en. trance is worthy of attention, for [ is a re- markedly fine portrait of difficult subject very excellently executed: The artist is Helen Burt of 329 Fifth avenue, New York, whose speciality is animal painting.

Report of the Committee Appointed To Examine into the Charges.
 The secretary of the committee appointed to hear charges against MT. Samuel R Thrasher, agent of the Ladies' Seamen's Friend society, last evening made the fol- lowing report to the president of that soci- ety:
 To the Ladies' Seamen's Friend society of New Ha- 
 The undersigned having been appointed by said society committee to inquire into certain charges made against Samuel F. Thrasher, the agent of said society, hereby report that upon ceiving notice of their appointment they caused a notice of the time and place of their meeting to hear ~' that might be made against said Samuel P.ThraSher to Es pub ished in two daily papers Of New maven before the day of such hearing, and, pursuant to such notice, they met at the Bethel of said society on the 17th and 22nd days of March, 1886, and heard all parties that appeared before them and desired to be heard relative to such. charges and having duly considered the same they find said charges not only unsustained by evidence but trival, unworthy of serious consideration, and having for their apparent basis vague rumors, imperfectly membered conversations, and slight incidents and remarks capable of other interpretations than those put upon them. The committee would ex- press as the result of their observation in this case an increased respect for Mr. Thrasher and unabated confidence in him aS an energetic and capable agent of the society. All which is respectfully. submitted.
