THE BAPTIST ASSOCIATION.

The 1st Washington Baptist
Association convenened last Wed.
nesdsy, 10th inst, with the 4th
Baptist Church, R St., n. W., Rev.
Robt, johnson, pastor. The intro
ductory sermon was preached by
Rev. Joseph Matthews The fol-
lowing officers were elected for the

Rev. VIA. HI. Phillips, of Anacos-
tia; corresponding secretary, Rev.
IS J. Lamkin, of Mt. Carmel;
treasurer, Deacon w. L. Laws, of
the 3rd Church. The association
had quite a harmonious and pros
porous session, with the selection
of four or five new churches and
about $500 members, besides adj
ditions in the old churches; and
from the present outlook, 1t will
not be long before all the churches
in the District will be in one asso-
citation. combination devoutly
hoped for. One of the things OPP
emily done by the association was
TO pass a resolution, requesting the
4th Baptist Church to change its
name from that Of the 4th Baptist
to that of the Metrop Dlitan Baptist
Church, this church being by far
the largest and most commodious
Baptist church in the city, being
but a foot smaller than the Metro
politan A. NJ. E. Church. Upon
a whole This was the most success-
full session the association has held
for many years. 1t adjourned af-
ter three days session to meet
next year with the Virginia Ave.
Church, Rev R. S. Laws, pastor.

FORTUNE IN A HOLE.
HIS PERSONAL ATTACK ON REV. W.
B. DERRICK NAILED.

Messers L. Thomas Fortune and
T. McCant Stewart who have
been making personal attacks on
DR.. w. B. Derrick, of NewYOrk,
for some time, have got themselves
in a hole. DR.. Derrick will now, it
is said, proceed and indict these
men for criminal libel. In the last
weeks issue of the New York
cage" there appeared two affidav~
its, purporting to be genuine,
charging DR.. Derrick with having
robbed several widows out of mon
ey, ect. The affidavits it is reported
were obtained by fraud, as it will
be seen by affidavit ff9m the
same party.

Some gIddY creatures have sent us the

looks like it had made about four trips
through cotton gin. We don't know
why they thought we wanted it, as we
are not running a bone yard this year.
A sight OF this turkey would make a wolf

straight, respectable turkey to send in,

AN EXAMPLE
Which May Lead Physicians to
Regard Health Regulations.

heSdfu Heditu AecRulststouS.
For some time past certain class of
physicians in the city, whose patients
were mostly from the better families,
have had habit of failing to report
cases of contagious diseases, where
they knew the family would take proper
precautions, out of respect for the feel
ings of relatives who would object TO
having the house quarantlned. Some
time ago Health Officer kiivington
made statement that doctors SO
offending in the future would
the health department concluded to
make an awful example of Dr.. III. ID.
Eimball for falling to report case OF
diplItheria at the house Of Samuel ID.
Adan5,p 1919 Fourth avenue south. The
doctor was accordingly arraigned before
Judge Emery yesterday on the charge
of failihg to report a ease of diphtherla.
as above stated. The testimony for the
prosecution showed that case of diph-
iberia had existed at 1919 Fourth avenue
SOUTH: that DR.. Kimball had attended
it, and that no notice of the case had
ever been received from him by the
health department; also. that after the
department had been Informed or
death from that disease at the number
given, and had quarantined the place
and posted a card there, DR.. Kimball
had removed the card without authority.
DR.. Kimball testified that OIL Monday
he had been called to attend the case;
Tuesday had stood near his assistant
when the latter telephOned notice OF
the case to the health Office and received
reply; that he turnedsthe case over to
DR.. S. F. Hance on Wednesday and left
town for few days; on returning the
following Friday DR.. Hance informed
him that the patient had died of para
lySiS of the heart and he had made re-
turn of death giving the latter disease
as the cause. He also admitted tearing
down the card and that the funeral was
public and was not held until Sunday.
His testimony clashed with that of
the prosecution only as to the
telephone message, the health
department denying the receipt
of it; but the court ruled that the point
was immaterial. as the code requires the
report to be made in writing. The
animus of DR.. Ii. .. Beard, who repre-
sented the board of health, was very
touched upon by Judge Emery in his
remarks before pronouncing sentence.
Assistant City Attorney Hall stated that
things had been run in entirely too
loose manner, and that 1t was neces-
sary to ihflict exemplary punishment on
some one and make. physicians under
stand that the law must be obeyed.
Judge Emery said he thought the mere
fact that fine was imposed would be
sufficient, and that the physicians of
the city would comply with all the reg
the rules were to be enforced. He
therefore fined the doctor $50.

HARD ON SHOE LEATHER.
A $4,000 Fire in the Basement of
Fields Shoe Store,


The fire laddies answered five alarms
yesterday, and found their services
were not required in two instances.
Two more fires did less than $50 damage
each, and only one, the fire in j. ".
Fields shoe shoe, at 209 Nicol-
let avenue, at few minutes
past o'clock last evening caused any
considerable loss. The store was shut
up at about 6:30 O'Clock, and half an
hour later smoke was seen issuing from
the basement and all alarm was turned
in. When the department arrived there
was very perceptible heat i'm the store
and moment later the heat and smoke
burst out through the big show window
and the whole basement was found
to be ablaZe. The fremen worked
rapidly and with good effect and soon
had the fire under control although it
was in an almost inaccessible base
ment and had good start when they
arrived. The origin of the fire or even
in what part of the building it started
is mystery. The furnace is situated
in the front part of the basement while
the greatest damage to the build
ing was about midway between the
front and rear. The stock in the store,
valued at nearly $4,000, is insured for
$4,000. The portion of it stored III the
basement was worth about $500 and
will be almost an entire loss. The
damage to the building, which is in
Sured for $4,000. is merely nominal.

Forecast OF Future Political
Events.
A large crowd of loyal Democrats,
who, in spite of that early November
snow storm, are neither dead nor Sleep
ing. gathered last night to enjoy the
third annual reunion of the Algonquin
club, and all enjoyed more than pleas
ant evening. Nearly all the mem
bers of the club were prese mt.
and almost every one of them
expressed himself as highly pleased
with the future prospects CT the club
and the party. Several prominent mem
bers spoke at some length, pointing out
the signs, already making themselves
manifest, which point to a reverse of
the political wheel four years hence.
and another local landslide, in the op-
puSite direction from the last, when an
other gubernatorial contest comes on in
two years from now.
The securing of more commodiouS
and convenient club rooms was dis
cuSSed and committee was appointed
to attend to the matter.
The project of inviting other Dem
ocratic clubs in Minneapolis to consoli-
date with the Algonquins was proposed
and seemed to meet with very general
favor. Several members spoke in sup
port of the scheme and committee to
confer with committees from other clubs
having that object in view was ap-
pointed.

TALKED BUSINESS.
The Project to Give the Exposition
a Glorious Send-Off.

Nearly all the members of the board
of directors of the Minneapolis exposi-
ton were present at the meeting held in
the general managers office Yesterday
morning, and considerable enthusiasm
over the coming big show was mani
fe sted. The chairman of the joint COM
mittee on music and the executive COM
mittee reported that they deemed it adj
visable for the board to employ the
Thirteenth Regiment band. of New
York city. The board Immediately took
vote authorizing Manager Byron to
make contract with the band for the
furnishing of music for the exposition of
1889.
The matter of inviting the entire
Thirteenth regiment with the chaplain.
Rev. De Witt Talmadge and Gov. Hill
and staff to be present at the opening of
the exposition was discussed and favor
ably commented upon. The board
finally decided to call meeting of the
representative bodies of the city, such
as the board of trade and chamber of
commerce. to see what the citizens will
do in the way of financial aid, and on
motion the board voted to guarantee the
carrying out of the project if $4,000 can
be raised by popular subscription.
A letter from the Harmonic society
about the renting OF pOrtlOn or the
exposition building for the holding of
the Saengerfest here next June, was re-
ferred to the executive committee with
power to act.
The question of securing a superin-
tendent for the art department was dis
cussed. and III. Jay Smiths name was

states that Fred w. Hitchings, the
former owner of the land, gave the mort

the Central Trust Company of New
York. After giving this mortgage the
land was sold by Hitchings to Huntin g.

Suit

The tables in Judge Rea's court room
were covered with miniature railway
tracks, bridges and specimens of trestle
work yesterday afternoon when the case
of Andrew Lindvall against Woods IL
LovejOy was called for trial. The suit
is brought to recover $50, 800 for injuries
received while working on some trestle
work which Woods & Lovejoy had the
contract for building near Gladstone,
Mich. April 1, 1887, Lindvall was work
ing on the trestle when it collapsed,
preclpitating him to the ground, twen-
ty-one feet below, and injuring him so
that he will be cripple for life. The
plaintiffs charge is that the trestle was
unsafe, and that the firm was directly
responsible for the accident. The de-
