HELD FOR THE GRAND JURY.
4 Servant Who Stole a Diamond Ring
Worth $12S.

Worth $125.
A colored woman who is known as Mile
Peyton, Mary Moten and by a number of
ether names has served two terms in the
penitentiary, so the police say. and now
she is in a fair way to return there. She
was domestic in the employ of Mrs. An
drews, at 231 Massachusetts, avenue north
east and when a diamond ring worth $125
disappeared from the house, the police at
once suspected the servant. Yesterday
she was taken in custody by Detectives
Weldon and Lacy, and after being detain-
ed for a long time she made confession.
Before making the confession Lawyer
Chase called to see her. and when he left
headquarters the officers watched him, and
saw a colored man named Isaac Dale come
from his office Isaac was overhaulad and
questioned about tine missing ring, and he
admitted that he had received it from the
woman under arrest, and had disposed of
1t at the saloon of colored man named
William H. Booker, corner of 18th and d
streets southeast. Then it was that the
woman confessed. 1t turned out that Dale
gave the valuable diamond for 80 cents
worth of drinks, and the saloonkeeper adj
mitted that he had received the ring. He
said he had left 1t at the house of his aunt
in Richmond. where he went to attend the
church conference. Booker promised to
send to Richmond for the ring. This morn
ing the messenger returned with the ring
and the woman was called for prelimin-
airy hearing in Judge Millers court.
Counsel waived an examination. and the
woman was committed for the action of
the grand jury.

the top floor, but failed to awake him, al
though the sleeper's clothing was searched
without finding any particular amount of
money.
Miss Susie Metzger, who had heard the
burglar try the door of her room, went out
in the hallway and met him. She called to
her brother. who responded, but the bur-
glar had left Miss Metzger ran to the win
dow and cried police. and when Col. Metz
ger looked out of the window and saw the
burglar running. he called to a coIered
man who was passing to apprehend him,
The burglar turned and fired twice at the
colored man without effect, so young Mr.

Bishop Paret Points Out the Duties
of the EpiscOpal Lnymen.
The second of the series of Lenten ad-
dresses conducted under the auspices of
the Churchman's League was delivered at
Ascension Church last night by the Right
Reverend William Paret, bishop Of Mary
land. His subject was 1.-THE Christian Man
in the Parish" He said there Nas an I'M
used force In the Episcopal Church today
which should be turned to good account in
the reclamation of the fallen and the
saving of souls. 1t is composed of Chris
tian men of vigorous intellect, splendid
education and strong purpose. whose en-
thusiasm should be aroused in order that
they might take a more active interest in
practical church work.
The church needed such assistance in
order to combat the evils that surround
ed it. The poor should be besought to come
to church and be MADE welcome when they
got there, and the morally sleeping should
be awakened and brought to realization Of
the solace and comforts of Christianity.
Bishop Paret urged country parishioners
to hold cottage services and to work in
the Sunday school and to take the church
in this way into the homes of far-away
communicates who could not attend reg
uiar services. The address was listened to
with great interest by large congregation.

INCREASING MAIL FACILITIES.
Midnight Collection From All City
Boxes is Made Permanent.


Boxes is Made Permanent.
Some weeks ago the local post office au-
thorities, with view of increasing the ia
ciltties and adding to the convenience of
the public. began series of experiments to
ascertain how the mail deposited in the va
rious boxes scattered throughout the city,
might be most rapidly collected and dis
patched to its destinations It was de-
cided to ascertain how a late collection
would do. and consequently the hour of
1870 a. m. was chosen as the time when
all mail receptacles should be visited and
their contents brought to the main office.
The result of the first nights work con-
WINGED Postmaster Willett of the wisdom of
making such a midnight collection a per-
manent feature of the system, for over
$500 letters were brought into the office
AS the usual o'clock collection had been
made. it was abundantly proven that a
large amount Of the correspondence in
Washington was transacted at night and
the letters deposited in the boxes after Q
and before II. The usual early mornng
collection next day at o'clock empha sized
the truth Of this, as not hundred letters
were found in the entire city. Postmaster
Wtllett thereupon determined to abolish the
a. m. collection and continue that at 1890
a. m, because the letters collected at the
latter hour could be sent out on the early
Trains, leaving at and o'clock and there
aoouts In the morning. In this way letters
posted in Washington after o'clock at
nlsht Will reach their destination several
hours earlier than usual, and quicker BUSH
ness and social communication established
petween washington and other points,
Commencing tomorrow, therefore, the
following schedule will be put in operation
The deliveries on the business routes will
be at Z 30 and 1890 am. and 1915 and $3.50
PM. the former 4:3O pm delivery being
omitted.
The collection now being made at B
O'Clock pm. will be made at o'clock D. m
on all routes at main office; the present
40 pm. collection being omitted. The de-
nveries In the resident sections will be at
Z am, 1880 am. and $3.50 pm
The collections will be at 1880 am, Q
am, 1880 am. and 80, 400, 100 and 800
pm.
The only collection heretofore made on
Sunday had been at o'clock in the even
ing, but the midnight collection will be
made on Sundays the same as on week
days.
These changes will not entail any extra
work upon the carriers and collectors, as
they are not allowed to work more than
eight out of the twenty-four hours.
1t was announced by Postmaster Willett
today that on April a subpost office sta
ton for the transaction of money and reg
istry business and the sale of postal sup
plies would be established at the drug
store of Thorn 4 Underwood, corner LIST
