SENT TO THE Work HoUsE.-Short-
" after it began to snow Saturday night
Celia Reyes, colored, filled herself with
Petersburg" whisky and fell beside a
fence in the neighborhood of "hard
corner" She was disposed to lay
where she was and to lapse into pleas
ant dreams, but as the snow continued
to fall she had enough sense left to re-
alize she would not awake were she to
give way to her inclinations. The
woman managed to get on her feet and
staggered away, and had she remained
orderly would not have been molested;
but she used her tongue for all it was
worth, abusing this and that one, until
Lieutenant Smith and Officer Howson
were compelled to arrest her. AT the
station house she made her presence
known by yelling and talking the re.
mainder Of the night. She drew vivid
pictures of scenes which would be en-
acied on Judgment day, at which time,
she said, mundane affairs would be
rghted; that she was to ascend in a
cloud while the Mayor and his police
men would be turned over to the evil
one for the injustice done her. Celia
was this morning turned over to the
0verseer of the Work House where she
will spend the next ninety days.

BAPTISM OF REV. MIR. MGALLIsTER.
Raw William II. McAllister. late nasior

BAPTISM OF REV. MR.. NGALLIsrER.
Rev. William III. McAllister, late pastor
of Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church
in this city, was baptized and formally
received iuto the Baptist Church YES.
terday morning at Brantly Church, B H.
timore, by Rev. DR.. II. NJ. Wharton.
In spite Of the heavy snow storm the
church was crowded. Rev. DIR. Whar.
ton introduced him to the congrega-
ton, saying that Mr.. McAllister was
dear friend OF his. % beicg introduced
Mr.. McAllister said ST would not be
here this morning if I was not assured
in nv heart that l am making trans
fer to that church which will foster this
very growth in grace, and in the
knowledge Of Our Lord Jesus Christ
which DR.. Wharton has preached
about. should not be here did not
know that in the Baptist Church shall
reach place where rything alien
TO Christ will be at minimum. You
have undoubtedly read the past week
in the proceedings of the Baltimore
Methodist Episcopal Conference how
the most noted, thoughtful and pro-
found men of that body have expressed
their dissatisfaction with certain things
in that church. These were some of
the most loyal and prominent of Metho-
dists. This dissatisfaction is no new
thing. II existed in 1889, more than
finv wears ago, still exists, and prob
ably will exist fifty years hence" After
expressing his satisfaction at being in
the Baptist communion and showing
the many advantages which he claims
are to be found in its fold, he concluded
his discourse as follows: Gas to my
belief in the form Of baptism by INNER.
sion, will say that it is admitted by
all to be the primitive form. INNER
sion is so acknowledged by all who are
acquainted with the exegesis aud the
history of the church. Immersion is
permitted as privilege, and partially
acknowledged as the true form, in the
Methodist Episcopal Church. I have
lust heard from a Methodist preacher
in a mountain district who is immersing
more members than he is sprinkling.
Whatever the Lord bias in store for me
He knows. absolutely surrender my
self to his guidance, knowing that full
well whatever He does will be best for
me.

LETTER FROM Col EDGAR ALLAN
Mr.. Thomas II. Morgan, of this city,
has received the following in response
to letter by him complaining of the
treatment his wing of the republican
party of this city is receiving at the
hands of Col. Lamb, the State chair
I man:
RICHMOND, Mar. "A, 1896
Ihos II. Morgan. Esq, Alexandria, Ia.
My Dear Sir.-Accept thanks for
your favor just received, and appreci-
alton of the kindly expressions it con-
tains. In regard 10 my efforts to main
tain home rule for the republican
voters of the city of Richmond in view
of the outrageous conduct of c. i.
Lamb, it is hardly surprising that one
of his most ardent supporters at the
time that he was elected chairman
should have recently said in letter,
Gen. Malone with all his dictatorial
disposition would blush in his grave if
he could see what Col. Lamb is doing
to break up the party which he (Gen.
Mahone) built up" Your people have
notonly the warmest sympathy of Judge
Waddill and myself, but we have hun
dreds Of letters from every section of
the State breathing dissatisfaction at
the way in which Col. Lamb is ignor-
ing the will of the people and the local
organizations selected by the people in
order that he may carry out his corrupt
bargain to send twenty-four white del
egates to St. Louis unpledged to any
candidate and only to be traded
off when he (Col Lamb can get the as
surance which he wants of recognition
inside and outside of State lines. This
is substantially what he said he would
do in a letter marked strictly conf
dential," a copy of which 1 have in my
possession. In this fight he has not
shown the manliness to openly face me
before my people in Richmond, but all
his dirty work has been done through
secret intrigue. My communications
have all been as this one is, not "cou.
fidential," but pro bono publico. We
are going to win here, we are going to
win at Staunton, and if you work as we
are doing, strictly under the party plan
Of organization with the people by
your side, you need not fear the result
of the contest. Much good has come out
of the furious fight of Col. Lambs to
the noble chieftain, William Mckinley,
who is known to be my choice for the
presidency.
Col. Lamb can no longer hide with the thin
ganze of hypocrisy that he is pledged to no
candidate. The fact is that he is bitterly op-
posed to the nations choice and the logical can
didato of our party, the great protectionists
leader, whom l have named. 1 have kept
him so busy trying to keep the fleece on his
own back that the State at large has b.en
neglected by him, and has received Il good
dea of attention from me.
Keep up your fight, and when Mckinley is
president he will remember, for he knows
now Low bitterly he has been assailcd by
those in this State who once pretended to be
his friends. Very truly yours,
EDGAR ALLAN.
