Grace Church Burned.-A disastrous

Grace Church Burned.-A disastrous
conHagraton Saturday night resulted in thu
destruction of the Grace Episcopal Church
of the Silver Spring parish, which was bull
some thirty five years ago on the east side
of the Seventh street pike, or Brightwood
avenue extended, opposite Woodside, ant
adjoining the residence of Mr.. w. Riley
Decide.
The narrow escape of Mrs. Oscar Wood.
ward from death by fire lends thrilling
interest to the event. In accordance with
the usual custom, the church choir assem-
bed at an early hour in the choristers' gal
lery for rehearsal, at which the following
named members were present: Messrs.
Marendn, Edward w. Birgfeld and W.
Riley Decide, Miss Henrietta Harding, the
Misses Smedes, daughters of the rector, and
Mrs. Oscar Woodward. A few minutes
after 8 o'clock, at moment when the Choir
listers were gathered about the organ in
some manner the coal oil lamp was toppled
over and fell at the feet of Mrs. Woodward
and in moment her clothing was afire, and
it is entirely due to the presence of mind OF
the three gentlemen present that her life
was saved Messrs. Marendin, Decide and
Birgfeld enveloped the lady with such wraps
as came handiest, including some OF the
portieres of the church, and conveyed her
across the road TO the rectory, whence they
returned to the church for the purpose of
saving that, if possible, but without avail,
as while they were saving life the fire had
gained control beyond their efforts to ex-
tinguish it, and in less time than it takes To
relate the fact the church and Its contents
were in full blaze. The other lady men,
bers of the choir present miraculously es.
capped without injury, as did the gentlemen,
with the exception of Mr.. Marendin, whose
hands were badly burned during the rescue
of Mrs. Woodward. DIR. Albert Shelley, OF
Sligo, responded promptly TO call for med
ical assistance, and expresses the belief that
Mrs. Woodward did not inhale any OF the
| flames, and il is believed she will recover
from the shock and burns. II is stated that
the church was insured, and that with the
assistance of its friends steps will at once
be taken to rebuild it.
Grace Church OF the Silver Spring parish
was founded in 1860, and the corner stone
was laid by Bishop Nottingham. Its pas
tors, since it was built, have been success.

present wardens Of the church are Messrs
Frank q. Fider and Arthur Dowell.
The rectors valuable library, which was
in the vestry room, and the handsome new
organ, just placed in the choristers' gallery
were entirely consumed, as was everything
in the church. Nothing but the bare founda
ton walls and ashes marks the spot where
the pretty church stood. Even the shrub

the graveyard present sad appearance o
scorching and burning, caused by the in
tense heat from the flames. The parish vii

lied TO receive donations.

House OF Correction Conte st.-The

House OF Correction COnte st.-Tht
Republican majority in the board of direct
ors of the Maryland House of Correction on
Thursday Of last week, elected the follow
ing officers:
Superintendent of the institution, William
David Slack, of Carroll county, vice J. JESSE
Moore, of Washington county.
Assistant superintendent, Daniel Houck
of Allegany county, vice John j. Mayfield
of Howard county.
Physician, DR.. H. B. Cans, of Anne Arun.
del county, vice DR.. w. G. Poe, of Anne
Arundel.
Engineer, Frank Bush, of the twenty.
| first ward, of Baltimore, vice John Kolen
of Baltimore.
Guard, j. B. Price, of Wicomico county.
All of these officers will enter upon their
duties July except Mr.. Price. None OF
the guards has resigned or been removed to
create vacancy for Price. He will fill the
first place vacated
The six Democratic members of the board
Messrs. Downey, Stonebraker, Brown, Hyn-
son, Stearns and Wells, voted for the reten-
ton of j. j. Moore and John j. Mayfield,
respectively, as superintendent and assistant
superintendent. They also voted for other
Democratic incumbents whom it was pro.
posed to dismiss.
Prior TO the meeting OF the board the seven
Republicans held caucus, and after great
deal of discussion decided upon the nomina
tons which were later ratified. The vote
in the caucus was:
For Mr.. Slack: Attorney General Cla-
baugh, Comptroller Graham and Messrs.
Swlndell and Longnecker
For Mr.. Houck, as superintendent: Gov
ernor Lowndes, State Treasurer Shryock
and Mr.. II. II. Henderson.
The result in the caucus was regarded as
a setback for Gov. Lowndes and Senator
elect Wellington. Mr.. Wellington had con-
fidently announced that Mr.. Houck would
be elected. 1t was stated that if Mr.. Slack
had not secured majority vote of the Re-
publican caucus his friends would have ap-
pealed TO the full board, and that the six
Democratic members, being convinced of
their inability to re-elect Mr. Moore, would
have voted for Mr.. Slack. Mr.. Houck said
after the meeting that he would not accept
the position of assistant superintendent.
A proposition was made to change the
salaries Of the superintendent and assistant,
one to receive 81 200 and the other $1,000
year, with board. The Democrats opposed
this. Comptroller Graham said similar
resolution may be introduced at the next
meeting of the board. Should Mr.. Houck
persist in his declinatlon it will not be neces-
sary to change the payroll, as it is under
stood the proposed increase in the assistants
salary was with a view to inducing him to
accept the place. The board will meet again
Thursday, July 2nd.
