ARRESTS AT A NAVY YARD.
Sensation Created at the Norfolk Yard-Al-

sensation treated at the Norfolk Yard-Al-
legged "CrOokedness" Exposed.
A tremendous sensation was created at the
Norfolk navy yard yesterday by the arrest of
Paymaster's Clerk Van Vranken of the general
store house and Mr.. II. W. Coston. a clerical
employe of the same establishment, on the
charge of stealing composition me tai and other
goods from the government to the value it is
estimated, of $4,000. The arrests were caused
by the discovery in the store Of box of goods
marked to the commandant of the naval sta
ton at Port Royal, SC, for which there was no
orders. News of Crooked shipments had
reached the ears Of the yard officials and Capt
Norton, the executive officer of the yard, went
to the general store, and, finding the box in
question, asked Mr.. Coston what it contained
He told him. so Coston states. that it contained
composition to be sent to Port Royal Capt
Norton had the box opened and it was found
to contain composition metal. He had Mr.
Coston put III the guard house to await
action by the United States court. Clerk Van
Vranken was also arrested. and, being in the
naval service, was carried aboard the United
States receiving ship Franklin to await court
martial for implication in the affair.
1t was discovered that on Wednesday a SINH
lar shipment was carried out OF the yard and a
colored truckman named Americas Smith of
Portsmouth was sent for. and he told all he
knew of like shipments he had handled.
Later in the day United States Deputy
Marshal }. j. Sullivan of Norfolk carried Mr..
CostQn over to Norfolk and he was arralgned
before United States Commissioner Ii. s.
Ackiss. His counsel was Major John Croker,
United States District Attorney Farland APP
pearing for the United States. Mr.. Coston
stated that he had only acted as shipping
clerk, and the box in question to be sent
like any regular shipment. He denies in toto
knowing anything about its irreguiarity or the
irregularity of any other shipment from the
navy yard. The commissioner decided to con-
tinue the case, and admitted the accused 10 bail
under a bond of 81 900. Americas Smith, the
colored driver, stated that for about two month
he has been carrying boxes out of the yard and
delivering them at MIR. Woodmans junk store
in Portsmouth: that he couldn't read and
didn't know how they were marked; that Mr..
Van Vranken ami Mr.. Cogton have both gone
to Portsmouth with him and shown him where
to deliver the box. The pass for the box carried
out on Wednesday has the appearance of regu-
larity. 1t had the signature Of Paymaster ID.
A. Smith, who was then i'll charge Of the store
temporarily.
Mr.. Van Vranken has for a long time been
one of the social leaders in the section and
MIR. Coston is a resident OF Portsmouth and
the son OF Captain Coston of the United
States marine corps. MIR. Costons pre!imi-
! nary examination will take place before
United States Commissioner Ackiss next

A Fine Structure to Replace the Old Build
ing at Twentieth and G Streets.
The historic building at the southeast corner
of goth and streets, occupied by the Con-
cordia Lutheran Church, is to be taken down.
handsome church edifice is to be erected
upon this site, which will be better adapted for
the accommodation of this large and flourish
ing congregation. The design has been pre-
pared by the architects, Schulze and Goenner,
and as shown by the accompanying cut the
building is to be handsome one. 1t will be
constructed almost entirely Of brick and the
seating capacity will be about 700. The cost of
the improvement will be about $780, Mr..
Nicholas Eckhardt is the builder
The Concordia Church is the oldest as well as
one of the most interesting of the Lutheran
churches of the city. 1t has two dates, either
one of which may be claimed as witnessing its
birth The congregation in its present organi-
cation was constituted February IS, 1882, by
Rev. MIR. Ungerrer. From an old deed it was
found that early as the year 1868 Jacob
Funk, who subdivided into building lots a tract
of land extending from II street to the river
and from 18th to 23d streets and gave it the
name OF Hamburg, sold lot to ''the German
