An Insane Young Man Commences q Haf-
rangue From the Altar of st. Matthews.

An Insane Young Man Commences q Haf-
rangue From the Altar of st. Matthews.
Yesterday afternoon at 2:30, as is usual on
Good Friday, the service Of the stations of the
cross was being said at ST. Matthews Church.
The church was fairly well filed and Rev. E. A.
Williams, who reading the service, had
reached the sixth station. which is
.oeated the second from the entrance on the
18th street side. The congregation was facing
that way. and when young, well-dressed man
walked down the middle aisle special atten-
ZION was paid him. The sanctuary gates were
open wide and the man quickly stepped inside,
mounted the altar steps, threw his umbrella
and overcoat on the altar table, and before his
actions were scarcely noticed began to make
wild harangue. He began: Il am a man and a
disciple OF Jesus Christ The way to love
God"
HIS HARASGUE INTERRUPTED.
Rev. T. J. Kervick, the assistant pastor, was
in the sanctuary at the time, but his head be-
ing bowed he did not notice the man until he
heard the voice. he recognized the fact at
once that he had a lunatic to deal with, and,
Oeckoning to several gentlemen in the congre-
CATION, who. with Father Williams, at once
,ame TO his assistance, they surrounded the
man and, in spite Of his furious resistance,
pulled him into the sacristy. One of the
gentlemen Immediately recognized him as
Louis Devices, son of Assistant Attorney +. =.
Devices He gave no further trouble and talked
quietly after a time, saying that he would not
some back to the evening service, evidently
presenting that he would be let go. Sexton
Lepley went for policeman and when Officer
Donovan arrived Devices taken to the first
precinct station
Immediately after helping to carry Devices
from the altar, the two priests returned to the
church, Father kerviek speaking few words
to reassure the frightened worshipers and
Father Williams proceeding with the circuit Of
the stations
THE CONSOLIDATION SHOCKED.
The incident seemed to strike cold chill to
the heart Of every one present, not SO much for
fear Of bodily harm as for what was considered
aprofanGtion Of the hottest spot in a Catholic
ehurch-the altar. Many of the ladies present
rushed to the doors, did the thoroughly
frightened altar boys, who blew out the lighted
candles they carried and prepared for name
diate flight
Mr.. Devices was shortly after he was taken to
the station house visited by his father, who at
once took him home. His friends say that .
recent severe attack of malarial fever has I'M
balanced his mind, but until yesterday he gave
no evidence Of any serious turn that the mnlady
might take His strength yesterday that
Of mailman, and the few words that he said
were shouted so loudly that he was heard
plainly ON the sidewalk

THIS BEASrLY WEATHER.
Not Much Chance for Fine Weather on Easter
Sunday.

Not Much Chance for Fine Weather on Easter
Sunday.
The chances for a ''rosy Easter morn" do
not seem to be altogether good today, and
Easter only few hours off! The storm
that is doing the damage has cut up rough
all round, and instead of passing quietly
off to the northward and leaving a
wake of balmy moistness behind it. it has hung
on the Virginia coast and is taking its time to
get out of the way in q most provoking manner.
1t is a sort of a freak of a storm, anyway, as it
has made peace with its other section from
which it parted company at Nashville, the re-
union taking place some miles to the southeast
of this city.
A CHANCE FOR CHANGE.
Still there is apparently chance for q
change, for the weather map this morning joy
fully announces a prediction for Washington Of
clearing. no decided change in temperature,
fair Sunday
The clearing forecasts extend as far north as
Maine. so that it is evident that the weather
shop thinks the storm is going to lose itself in
the bosom of the great Atlantic.
Washingtonians who are disposed to protest
and grumble against this state of things should
recolect that it might be infinitely worse
For example. it might turn much colder and
then the snow would be on the ground and
the slush already there would freeze. and there
would be untold discomfort and misery, SO that
there could be something worse; but it Is very
bad, withal.
RAIN AND SNOWFALL YESTERDAY.
There was a rainfall and snowfall Of an inch
and three-quarters Of water in Washington in
the twenty-four hours ending at o'clock this
morning, and the rivers are rising slightly in
the east. But there is no prevailing danger Of
freshet anywhere.

will Meet Its OBLIGATIONS.

The ~ per cent loan, of which little more
than S50.0O0,0o0 is now outstanding, will
mature September next. Treasury officials
say there will be no trouble whatever in meet
ing it and that it was regarded as matter of SO
little concern that it was not thought necessary
to bring it to the attention of Congress. The
department stands ready now to redeem these
bonds with interest to maturity, and the small
amount presented each day is taken "a an indi-
cation that the holders are in no particular
hurry to dispose Of them. A prominent Of
ficial said this afternoon that the department
will be able to redeem them all on the date of
maturity If they shall be presented, but that the
history Of all government loans indicates that
there is no probability Of such thing, as that
it will be found that a large amount Of these
bonds will not be presented for redemption
for many months after the interest has ceased
to run. While the available cash balance in the
treasury is now Sl3, 000, 600 the government has
about $50, 0C0, 900 additional ON deposit in ma
tional banks, which can be utilized in case Of
necessity.

THE RETURN OF THE FUNERAL
Let down the curtains Of their grief,
Shut out from staring eyes,
Their sorrows, quite beyond relief,
Their large and frequent signs.
Respect the tears that they have shed,
As Borrowing souls must do,
And lightly touch the growing head,
Whatever else you do.
With kindly words essay to clear
The gloom that has not fed,
And strive in gentle ways to cheer
This picnic for the dead.
Too full Of sadness and SO forth,
To note what may have passed
From gossips tongue, let them rejoice
That they are home at last.

A POST OFFICE DISPLAY.
1t viii Be Made in the Patent Centennial
Parade.

The city post Office has been requested to
take part in the parade on April 10 in connec-
ton with the celebration Of the patent centen-
NAL in this city. The invitation will probably
be accepted. and the Office intends to make a
creditable display that will show the various
classes that help in the active delivery Of the
city's mail. First will come platoon OF car
riers in uniform, then the men who do the col
Letting, mounted on bicycles; then the special
delivery boys. also in uniform and on wheels;
then the collectors in their cabs and lastly a
number Of the big general mail wagons.
This part of the parade will be something
quite unusual and interesting.
The parade comes at a convenient hour SO
far as the post Office is concerned, but still
only as many men will be detailed as can be
spared without detriment to the service.

Joseph X. ToUle, governor Of Montana, il

Fifth Avenue Hotel. He talked politics for
while yesterday afternoon in the hotel corridor

Cleveland's letter on the silver question.

WASHINGTON AND ALEXANDRIA TRANSIT.
Whatever there may be in the boom now
being organized here by Aexandrias most en-
terprising citizens the ''best hold Alexandria
has at present is its hold on Washington, and
the drawing from thence Of people to buy its
vacant lots and put up or occupy dwellings on
its decent cobble-paved and electric-ht streets,
with its schools churches and all the comforts
of an old community that, not desiring
to put on style, is accustomed to be
comfortable and has the best Of health
and the purest Of water. Quick, ready and
cheap transit to the capital is most important.
The demand for this Communication is increas-
ing its supply. Three local trains will be added
on Monday next to the Alexandria and WASH
ington transit on the Washington South
ern railroad, and within q few months
a riue fast steamer will be added to the Alexan-
dria and Washington ferry line, and the ferry
accommodations will be improved ut all
points. 1t is not too much to say
that il these accommodations of transit
had existed at the close of the war thousands
Of the people then domiciled here would never
have moved away, and that this city would now
have population of 80 900 with q prospect Of
81, 900 in the next decade.
NOTES.
President Clarke Of the Washington and Nor
folk steamboat line has bought for "a 500 the
Mcveigh warehouse and wharf at the foot of
Prince street and it is understood that he will
extend the pier and make the property the
