DRAFTED at the First Church.
Inere was large audience assembled in
the First Presbyterian Church last evening
to participate with the congregation in the
observance of the centennial of Presbyte ter
ianism in the city of Washington. which be-
gan yesterday and will be continued several
evenings. Rev. Charles L. Thompson, DID,,
Of the Madison Avenue Presbyterian
Church, New York city, delivered the ad-
dress of the evening, his subject being
"Presbyterianism and the Nation"
Rev. DR.. A. w. Pitzer, pastor of the Cen
trail Presbyterian Church, presided, and on
the platform with him were DR.. Sunderland,
Dr. Thompson and Rev. Mr.. Allen. DR..
PitZer made few init oductory remarks,
and after prayer, in which he petitioned
for reunion of all the divided interests of
son.
The speaker dealt particularly with the
beginnings of the history of the American
colonies. referring to the principles of the
Puritans and their coloniZing influences,
the establishment of free worship and the
development Of republicanism coincident
with that of Presbyterianism. In an able
manner he traced the influence of Calvin
upon the institutions of this country, elo-
quently declaring that free schools, liberty
of conscience and democratic principles
were ideas for which the American people
were indebted to the great reformer.
Looking into the future, DR.. Thompson
said that the peculiar mission of the next
century will be to apply the doctrines of
the present century by educat ton, by social
and civil reforms. and by the overthrow of
intemperance and political tyranny.
At the meeting tonight the subject will
be "Presby teranS and Education" and ad-
dresses are expected from Chancellor Nc
Cracker of New York and DIR. E. D. War

DUNRAvEN WILLING TO COME.
The New York Yacht Club Consider
ing His Charges.

ine new YORK Yacht Club Consider
ing His Charges.
At the New York Yacht Club meeting
held last night to take action concerning
the charges made by Lord Dunraven a
vigorous refutation Of the Englishman's
statements. written by Mr.. C. Oliver Iselin,
head Of the Defender syndicate, was read;
also. letter from H. Maitland Kersey,
conveying an offer from Lord Dunraven
to come to this country for an investiga-
ton which was complete surprise
Charge Of the whole matter was delegated
to a committee Of three gentlemen-J. Pier
pont Morgan; William C. Whitney, ex-
secretary of the Navy, and George L.
Rives
Mr.. Iselin's letter says In part:
Lord Dunraven makes the charge that,
after having been measured for the cup
races In September last, the Defender was
surrepttious!y loaded so as to sink her four
inches deeper In the water; that she sailed
in that condition on the first days race,
and that Immediately after that race the
ballast SO loaded was secretly removed, so
tfat, when measured the next day Sunday,
no discrepancy was found to exist between
the two measurements.
Lord Dunraven knew perfectly well tina
1t was a practical impossbility for such a
thing to have been done without it being
made known to me. 1t is impossible that
the fourteen tons of ballast necessary to
accomplish the result charged could have
been put into her on Friday night and
taken out again before Sunday without the
fact being known to large number of wit
mes es. 1 e:sonally examined the Defend
er's hold Immediately before the race, and
I know the absolute falsity Of the imputa-
ton"
Secretary Oddie then read a letter from
Mr.. H. Maitland Kersey to Commodore
Brown. which says:
Il have cable from Lord Dupraven to-
day saying that, while he thinks it Is now
too late to investigate, If a desire exists
among the members of the club to do So
he will come over and place himself at the
disposal of the club or it's committee. He
says he would not be able to get away be-
fore the 4th proXimo."

With the Same Weapon
That Killed Mrs. Parker.

last summer, whereby his wife lost her
life and his son his reason, Nahum
Parker, full of years and trouble, put
an end to his miserable sexistence last
Sunday morning by shooting. The
deed was committed about o'clock,
shortly after Parker had breakfasted.
Sunday morning, according to the evil
dence adduced before the coroner's
jury, Parker was not feeling we'll. His
sister-in-law, Mrs. Manlove, asked Mr..
Parker's friend, Dan Williams, to'get
some stimulants for him. Mr.. Will
Jams went down town and purchased
pint flask of whiskey. On his return
Parker was out. Williams went out
to the barn and found the door fasten-
ed from the inside. He managed in
some way to get the door open.
FINDING THE BODY.
On horse blanket. neatly spread
out upon the floor, with his head rest
ing on another blanket which had been
rolled up to serve as pillow, lay the
dead body OF Nahu.t~l 'arker. His
right arm was stretched out at full
length and his right hand grasped the
handle of the same revolver which is
said to have killed his wife. One
chamber was empty. On the right
side of his head, little back Of the
right ear was the fearful wound made
by the revolver At his left side lay
his crutch and leaning against the
wall was his cane. Mr.. Williams did
not lose his presence Of mind on max
ing this awful discovery. He closed
and fastened the door, and called
Assessor Foreman, and they made an
examination of the body.
THE INQUEST.
Closing the barn door, Williams re-
mained outside, while Foreman went
to notify Sheriff Haines and Coroner
McNulty. On the arrival of the lat
ter, he empannelled a jury, consisting
of Thomas Baker, Chas. w. Mead.
Harry Warrington, o. w. Jay, Pat
rick Breen and John B. Carruthers.
After examining the remains, the in
quest was adjourned to the sheriff's
Office, where the above testimony was
taken.
The evidence of Assessor Foreman
was merely corroborative of that OF
Williams, which was in substance as
. related above. Nothing was found or
the person Of the deceased, save few
receipted bills and other papers O
little importance. The pith of the
verdict was "that the deceased came
to his death by pistol wound, on hi
right temple, inflicted by his owl
hand"
