ROBBED AN OYSTER BOAT
Charles Lomax and a Companion
Stole the Captains Money.
Former Arrested in This City While
Enjoying His Ill-Gotten
Gains. *

Charles Lomax. colored, who is wanted
the captain Of an oyster sloop, was cap
tured in this city early Yesterday morning
by Policemen Carlson ana Mellen.
I.omax and companion shipped un the
oyster sloop w. j. Kennedy en- the day
before Christmas. The boat was com
manded by Capt Charles Sutton and tue
men learned that he had S4CO in bills
concealed in the cabin. They awaited their
opportunity and on New Years Eve,
while the sIoop was al Annapolis, they
secured the money and escaped.
The theft was disc overed by the captain
the next morning and reported to the po-
lice. 1t was surmised that the n.en would
come to either Baltimore or this city and
the police were notified to look out for
them
on Saturday Detective Sutton Of the
First precinct learned that LomaN had
been seen here and he started out to find
him. \ search of the city was made and
all resorts where it was thought probable
the man would frequent were visited.
He could not be found, however, but late
in the day the detective learned that his
man UdC gone 10 bditilHOEc anu NOuiu Ic
turn early Sunday morning.
Detective Sutton notified Policemen Carls
son and Mellen to be on the watch for
LomaX, and the officers finally found him
at No. 800 Thirteen and-ahalf street
He was placed under arrest and taken to
the Twelfth street station. When queS-
toned lie denied his identity and said that
lie had always lived in this city and that
lie was employed by his brother ON F
street.
Yesterday afternoon the man was put
through a cross-eXamination by Detective
Sutton. Under the officers questions
Lomax finally broke down and admitted
that he ha stolen the money.
He said that his companion and himself
had come at once to Baltimore after COM
mitting the theft, where they had divided
the cash and started in to have a good
time. Both were dressed in sailor cos
tune anG, realizing that they would be
easily detected should the police be look
ing for men dressed in that manner, they
procured an entirely new outfit.
Lomax then went to a friend in Balti-
more and deposited with him SS1. He
came here in company with woman
named Edith Brierson, and the couple
went to live on Thirteenth, and-a-h half street.
The woman was taken into custody last
night by Policeman Kilmartin.
LomaX returned to Baltimore Saturday
because he had run short OF cash and
wished to draw upon the SS1 which he
had left with his friend. He learned that
his former shipmate had been arrested
by the Baltimore police and that his
friend had delivered the money to the
officers. He then returned here only to
run into the arms of the police. The man
and the woman will be taken to Baltimore
this morning.

CHRISTIAN POWER OF FAITH
Prof. and Mrs. Dobbins' Interesting
Lecture at the Y. NJ. C. A.
StereOpticOn Views Enliven the Dis
course-The Hall CrOwded-The
Absolute Necessity of Christ.

1.-THE power of faith was impressively
and forcibly presented TO a large audience
yesterday afternoon at the Y. NJ. c. A.
gospel meeting, by Prof. and Mrs. Dobbins,
of Boston, Mass, in a very interesting
illustrated song and scripture service.
The ultimate object OF the discourse was
to show that it is impossible for the soul
to be good without faith; that the belief
must be wholly and without reservation
as To even he smallest command
''He that belieyeth in me shall have life
everlasting the speaker said, should be
the fou ndation of all Christian hope This,
he said, mea Mt believe all in all and not
attempt to excuse ourselv YES by sa ying, I'VE
believe all Of tie Bible we can't
Prof. Dobbins took as the subject of his
discourse and Illustrations ship at sea
without a pilot to which lie Iikened a
| soul without faith. lie then showed by
scriptural readings that the need of a
Saviour was the one thing upon which
all Christian thought concentrated, and
also that it was the object OF the Bible
TO prove to the unbelieying the neceSs I V
of Il Saviour.
Christ is the pilot Of the soul-Ship and
without Him we can never be safely
guided into the haven of everlasting rest
| and peace.
Prof. Dobbins next drew a comparison
| between. the enforcement of the divine
and human law. The breaking of any
one branded the violator as guilty; the
! stain WAS upon him. All, every one of
| the laws of God and man, should be kept
| to preserve the soul pure and perfect in
| the eyes of the Lord.
The discourse was illustrated throughout
| with stereopticon views, all of which had
special reference to the subject-matter,
and So greatly added to the interest OF
| the lecture.
Several beautiful hymnal selections, de-
| scriptive of the Illustrations, were suing
! by Prof. and Mrs. Dobbins, the audience
| swelling the chorus.

for his text, MY feet were almost gone,

He commenced by speaking Of the errors
of thought AND action we are apt to fall
into on account Of neglect of the teach
ingS OF Christ. This n re has become so
liberal in thought and SO selfish in many
ways that TO achieve an ephemeral sue
cess in temporal affairs it is not neces-
sary to be a thorough Christian, and ON
account OF that many young people are
led from the true way OF thinking and
do not realize their error until too late.
He said that he has never witnessed
such agony anywhere as he has in this
city from young men and women who
have come here to achieve social and
monetary advancement, and who have
Etrayed from the true fold in 50 doing

The fourteenth illustrated sermon of the
series that is attracting so much atten-
t:oa at the Church OF Our Father, on Thir

scenes from His life during that period.

communion with Christ as shown in His
interviews with the disciples.

Christ by Peter at Phillip, Dr.. Rogers
saiG that 1T was the grandcst and nobest
| confession of faith in human history, and
all character that will be of any avail

| permanency whatever must be built on the
confession of Peter" In speaking of the
churches of the present day he said:
IAN churches are evangelical that be-
lieve in Christi
| In concluding, DR.. Rogers dwelt on the
| importance OF change in our spiritual
nature, not only at the beginning of a
