A WASHINGTON PREsBYrERY CHURCH.-The
First Presbyterian church has in view the re-
opening of services next spring. At the last
meeting OF the congregation resolution offered
by Hon. Lewis Mckenzie was unanimously
agreed to, That it il not deemed expedient
at this time to take any action as respects the
church property or the calling of a minister, and
that the surviving trustees Messrs. ]. P. and
Park Agnew and Lewis McKensie, continue the

occasion was brilliant and pleasant one.
Mayor Downham delivered congratulatory ad-
dress to MIR. and Mrs. Lucas. Tables were
loaded with handsome souvenirs Of the ami
versary.
The Gas LAMPs-The fact that the gas lamps
on the public streets are now superseded by the
electric light has had tendency to induce the
belief that they are worthless and less care is
taken Of them. The mayor had occasion lately
to impose fines for the breaking Of lamps. As
yet there has been no movement here toward
following the example of the Washington gas
light company and removing the lamps from
all posts where the gaslight Is no longer USE d.

have returned home to spend Christmas and
many missed faces reappear on the streets-

THE YORKTOWN AT LISBON.
She was Delayed by an Accident to
Her Rude der in q Heavy Storm.

The New York Heralfs Lisbon correspondent,
writing Of the Yorkstown's arrival there, says:
At noon today I received telegram from
Ortaves saying that the Yorktown was in sight.
In short time the pretty white hull of the
missing vessel was visible as she was placidly
steaming up the Tagus. In the afternoon she
dropped anchor on the port side Of the Chicago.
The Yorktown looked in perfect trim, except
that one Of her port boats was missing.
Capt Chadwick looked we'll and said he
hoped the delay had caused no anxiety. twas
entirely the fault Of the storm. The tiller ropes
stretched, allowing the rudder to swing to and
fro. He put into Fayal on Monday. The York
town behaved beautifully and shipped hardly
any water. When the gale grew heavy she was
rather unsteady, and he deemed it unwise to
run longer and hove to about third of the way
from Boston. After the rudder was broken a
drag was put overheard to steer by, and ii
served very well until the hawser parted, after
which the Yorktown lay in the trough Of the
sea. Capt. Chad ick regarded the Yorktown
as most seaworthy ship. But for the rudder
trouble she could easily have kept up with the
other ships

An Entertainment Given to Chinese Sun

An entertainment was givent last evening at
the residence Of Mr.. John P. Lawrence, 1l0S
G. street northwest, by Mr.. Brown Lawrence and
Miss L. Holderby, two Of the teachers to the
Chinese Sunday school of the Church of the
Ascension. A large number of the friends Of
the teachers and officers of the Sunday school
and invited guests we're present and were
highly entertained by the program. There
were number Of Rotations, songs, instru-
mental selections, by both teachers and pupils
These quick-witted celestials have learned to
read and speak English very well and among
the renditions WAS Sunday school song by
Moy Ching in English, which was wonderfully
well executed for a native Of q race whose
tongues get twisted into all sorts of contortion
when they attempt to speak in any but their
own language. Some of the books used in the
school have Chinese on one page and the Eng
iish equivalent on the other. Last night,
however, they had only books in English to 90
BY and readily found the numbers and pages
called out and followed the text and Joined in
the choruses with considerable accuracy.
A handsome repast of ices, cakes and fruits
were served, in the demolition Of which they
talnly behaved with more becomingness than
1t Is alleged some Americans did at ball given
some time since by the Chinese legation
After refreshments the play of ''tail-
ing the donkey" was a feature which created q
great deal Of amusement as the Chinese at
tempted to pin q donkey instead Of veritable
pigtail upon their friends.
The music furnished by the Chinese string
band was Of peculiar sort and upon very
peculiar instruments. Mr.. Moy Chew per-
formed upon the gee saw violin with two
strings); Mr.. Moy Guy upon the sam yui
(banjo or kind of tom-tom); Mr.. Moy Mon upon
the gut keon Ga mandolin or big-headed banjo
looking affair, with short handle and keys
like immense corkscrews). and Mr.. Moy Chew
upon the gep jy q flute made like q horn and
sounding like a bagpipe). and in their way kept
tolerable good time, and now and then in spite
of themselves ran into harmonizing strains on
the American order. Their performance was
very creditable indeed.
This Sunday school meets at the Church of
the Ascension every Sunday at o'clock o. m
and at the Church Of the Epiphany at 1880.
The union school, to which this school il also
attached, meets every Monday evening at $40

ALL BECAUSE OF A CIPHER.
A Mans Life Ruined by q Moment Of
FOrgetfulness.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
"There goes man whose life was ruined by
forgetting the simple character o." said q
prominent railroad man yesterday, pointing to
a ragged, besotted man stumbling along the
street, unmindful Of the rain.
HE was train dispatcher on the Ohio and
Mississippi railroad once, having worked up to
that position from messenger boy in the tele-
graph office. One Sunday he had only two
trains on his division, an express train west
ward bound and fast stock train running
east. The day was warm and sultry and Bill,
for that was his name, had hard work to keep
awake. He knew that as soon as he made the
meeting point for the two trains he could doze
and he impatiently awaited the time. When
the trains were close enough together for him
to figure meeting point he sent an order
to the passenger train to meet and pass the
stock train at little station called Willow
Valley, fixing the time at 1850. To the
stock train he sent an order that it could have
until las to make Willow Valley for the pas
senger. See the mistaken He forgot the 0 and
hence gave the stock train thirty-five minutes
more time than he should. Bill saw his mistake
ten minutes after he had made it, but there be-
ing no telegraph station between the points
where the trains we're given the orders or at the
meeting point he could do nothing to rectify it.
He sent for the superintendent and ordered out
the wrecking crew, then sat at the key pale as
death. the cold perspiration running down his
face in streams, awaiting news of the collision.
1T came. The passenger train reached Will
low Valley on time, waited the required thirty
minutes under the required time-card rules for
the freight train and then pulled out Three
minutes later the two trains met on curve,
both running at high rate of speed. Fourteen
lives we're lost in the collision besides $l0O, 900
worth of property destroyed. Bill resigned at
once and the next day disappeared. For long
time it was thought he had committed suicide,
but met him on the street here one day Just
as you see him-a total wreck"
