CHURCH DEDICATION.

Jerusdieu DapLlSI Cnurcn, winch Is
also known as Payne's Church, situated
1tsstween Fairfax Ss. ST. and Fairfax
c. H., was dedicated Sunday with ap-
propriate ceremonies, very large
crowd being present. The dedicatory
sermon was preached by Rev. S. w. o.
Thomas, pastor of Gay street Baptist
Church, of Georgetown. The pastor,
Rev. S. M. Athey, gave brief history
of the church.
The site of this church is one of the
ancient landmarks of the county. Here
stood, prior to the war, one of the
colonial churches. There is no record
by which the time can be fixed when it
was built or whence it got its name,
but tradition has it that man named
Payne was the builder of it, and that
he fell from the top of it while work
ing on it, and died from his injuries.
IL is said he is buried in the church
yard, but no monument marks his grave.
During the war the old edifice was
completely demolished. The bricks
were used to make chimneys and walks
in the soldiers camps, while many of
the old tombstones were taken from
the church yard and used as backs to
their 6replaces. After the war the con-
gregation reorganized and built frame
church on the site of the old brick one.
It had been used by them eyer
since, but never dedicated. Recently
it has undergone such extensive repairs
that it is practically new church.

brought against Count Esterhazy,
states that be is satisfied with the guilt
of Dreyfus. There is, however, gen.
eral indignation here that General Pei.

ty of Esterhazy having written the
memorandum upon which Dreyfus was
convicted, the general simply remark
ing that he considers the court martial

THORN CONVICTED.

In New York yesterday evening
Martin Thorn was convicted of murder
in the first degree in killing William
Guldensuppe, his predecessor in the
affections of Mrs. Augusta Mack, at
Woodside, L. l., on June %. At the
request of Thorn's counsel, the passing
of the death sentence was deferred un-
til next Friday morning.
The jury was out about three hours
before the verdict was brought in. The
scene was a painful one, Thorn bore
himself very coolly during the ordeal.
A motion for new trial was denied.
When Thorn had been led back to
his cell after the conviction, he ad-
mitted that the verdict was just, and
that he, and not Mrs. Mack, killed
GuldepsUppe. This acknowledgment
of guilt took place while Thorn's cell
in the Jail was being prepared for him.
During the trial Thorn has been under
charge of Police Captain MethveD, of
Flushing. Captain Methven had him
under his eye when the Jail officials
searched the cell Thorn is to occupy
for day or two. While this was be.
ing done Thorn talked with the police
captain. He said:
il am glad it is over and the verdict
given. I am convicted, and I am con-
tented. 1t was | who killed Gulden-
suppe, and cut up his body. Every
word that Mrs. Mack said upon the
stand was substantially correct. When
I was on the stand ] led when telling
tho story as 1 did, but 1 lied to clear
