statement of the AFFAIR.

This brings us to a statement of the
case, and it will be confined to the es-
tablished facts without establishment
The scene of the tragedy was the
First Scandinavian Methodist church,
at No. 1853 Second East. This house of
worship is across the street from the
Presbyterian church and diagonally
through the block from the police sta
ton. Rev Francis Hermann is the pas
tor, although an assistant from Provo
is in charge during his absence in the
east. Rev. Hermann is. of course, very
well known in this city, especially
among the Scandinavians, by whom he
is considered man of God. Last year
the minister's wife died, and shortly
before he went east, in September, 1895,
to attend church conference. Miss
Clawson, an attractive young woman,
perhaps 25'years of age, stopped at the
church building, which is large and in
the wings accommodated several fami-
lies, and looked after the pastors
apartments

CLERGYMEN REPLY.
Baptist Union Discussed Crime and
Iynchinns.

LynchinSs.
The Baptist Ministers Union, which l.,
composed of all the colored Baptist minis
ters in the District of Columbia, held their
usual weekly meeting yesterday, at which
the subject of lynchings was discussed.
The particular reason for calling atten-
ton to the subject at this time was that a
letter signed by colored man was pub
lshed in a morning paper addressed to
Rev. ]. Anderson Taylor, in which the
writer suggested, in effect, that it would be
rather more consistent with the principles
of the Christian religion If the colored
preachers would call a mass meeting of
their race to denounce such crimes as those
Smith. who last week murdered Miss
Drown, instead of derouncing the lynchers
who avenge similar crimes.
After full discussion of the matter, a
paper was adopted denouncing the out
RACES of Ford and Smith; regretting that
these men were colored, and criticising the
conduct of some persons who, when a
crime is committed by a colored man. de-
nounce the whole colored race therefor.
Continuing, the paper says:
"AS clergymen, we believe we know our
duties. and should we seek instruction re-
garding our duties. would apply to those
cannot feel that we are responsible for the
crimes of our people-any more than white
clergymen are responsible for the white
criminal classes.
The clergymen of Washington seek to
instruct their parishioners upon all high
moral questions. That we are doing our
work we'll is proven by the fact that we
have developed one, to say the least, who
stands SO high in purity that he would see
the duties of the clergymen and dare to
exhort them to nobler performance. If
we would more largely benefit our people.
let such of our members as those who criti-
else us in respect to our course on the
question of lynchings, who see the great
needs of improvement, band themselves to-
gether as good working laymen and go
into these cesspools of vice and persuade
men to higher lives The clergy would
heartily assist the laity."

A suicide threw the italian colony in the

removed to the Emergency Hospital, where

which included the TRANSMISSION of blood to
supply that which had poured from the
ghastiy wound In his throat. The trachea
nad been severed. but the razor had just
missed the carotid artery. Paggi was un-
able to speak after committing his rash
deed, and the police could obtain little in
formation as to the motive that actuated
him to take his life. 1t is surmsed, how
ever. that he had become suspicious and
respondent in his old age and feared a plot
