Charles Pond and Peter Bowman. col
ored employees of the paving company en-
gagged in laying the concrete street around
the new city post office, when they found
that they did not have to work yesterday
morning on account of the condition of the
weather, started out to have a good time
that is, Charles started and Pete followed
in his wake. After couple of rounds Of
drinks, in which Charles added to his stock
in tiade probably left over from SATURDAY.
night, PETE thought Charles was getting n
uttle 100 noisy, or was acting out of the
Way, and started to take him home
Cnaries thought differently, and the re-
suit was that both commenced to clean
up the street in front of the new city post
Office i'll approved style. Just at that time
the patrol wagon happened to come along
and, of course, the wrong man, Pete, who
lad been doing the good Samaritan act for
Charles. was taken up. Then Charles with
keen prick of conscience started after
the wagon and gave himself up as the man
who had melted the small riot
Ar the police station. when Charles was
asked the cause Of the row, he replied
Deed. boss, an there warnt no row. All
there wuz 20 it wuZ that / was going de
pace and Pete was a follering me. but it
wuz too fast, an Pete coulden' keep up.
It's all my fault boss"
Seeing that no serious injury had been
done or the peace disturbed to any great
measure, the two friends, the leader and
the follower of the pace that kills were
locked up until the effects of their joIIifica-
ton wore off.

SAFETY APPLIANCES.
Petition of Railways for Extension OF
Time for Equipment.

EetItlOA Oh fta11w0y0 1OF EXTENSION OF
Time for Equipment.
TIE hearing which has been set for to-
morrow by the interstate commerce COM
mission of the petition Of various railroad
companies for the extension of the time
within which they are required to have
their equipment supplied with safety ap-
planes is regarded as a most important
matter. and the occasion will, it is ex-
pected, bring to Washington representa-
tives from many leading companies. It IL
understood that several of the executive
officers from each of the five brotherhoods
of railway employees will also be in the
city, 1t being their intention to oppose any
concession in this direction by the commits
sion.
The act compelling the railroads to SO
equip their trains was passed during the
closing hours of the administration of
President Harrison, after a protracted and
bitter contest. The act was approved
March 2, 1893, and gave the railroads about
five years, or until January !, 1888. to COM
ply with the law.
The same act provided that the railroad
companies should equip their cars with
hand rails and draw bars before July 1,
1885 The railroads ask from one to ten
years longer than the law provides The
last reports made by the commission upon
their equipment show that the passenger
trains were almost entirely equipped as re-
quired by law, but that in very few cases
had the companies supplied their freight
cars with the appliances. many companies
providing not more than a third Of their
cars.
The last annual report of the commission
shows that ISL railroad employees were
killed during the year and 25,696 injured,
a decrease of IL in the number killed and
2274 in the number injured, as compared
with the previous year.
Should the commission decide not to
grant the petition of the railroad COM
panies those whose cars are not equipped
January / will be subject to fine OF $1Oo
for each and every violation of the law

CHURCH DEDICATION.


Structure Rests ON Site Of Former
Colonial Edfhce.
Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE, Va.
November %, 1897.
Jerusalem Baptist Church, which is also
known as Payne's Church, situated be-
tween this place and Fairfax Station, was
dedicated Sunday with appropriate cere-
monies. a 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. NJ. Athey, gave brief his
tory 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 old
colonial churches. There is no record by
which the time can be fixed when 1t was
built or whence it got it's name, but
tradition has it that a man named Payne
was the builder of it. and that he fell from
the top of 1t while working on it, and died
from his injuries. 1t is said he is buried
in the church yard, but no monument
marks his grave.
During the war the old edifice was COM
pletely demolished. The bricks were used
to make chimneys and walks in the SOL
stones were taken from the church yard
and used as backs to their fireplaces. After
the war the congregation reorganized and
built a frame church on the site Of the old
brick one, which had been used by them
ever since, but never dedicated. Recently
1t has undergone such extensive repairs
that it is practically new church.

have been gazing l6ngingly across the
alter towards EAglani and the continent.
Just year ago ~hile on a vacation tour
Sousa conducted the brass section of the
famous Philharmonic Orchestra of Berlin
at complimentary concert arranged in
his honor, and the enormous success he
achieved In the German capital convinced
the American composer and leader that
there was an undoubted field for his band
In Europe. Sousa's marches are played
the world over and are the musical craze
OF Ia gland and the continent as they are
here. London knows the Liberty Bell as
well as New York knows lei Captain" and
1.-THE Stars and Stripes Forever" and the
popularity of the Sousa music will be re-
doubled abroad when played there by
Sousa's band as orly it can play a Sousa
march.

gland, Scotland Wales and Ireland. Then

lin. The tour will extend as far as Vienna

form representative American organiza-
ton. We will take with us two of the
greatest of American soloists, singer and
an INSTRUMENTATION ladies'. of course
Their names will be announced later. We
will take American printing with us. and
our programs will be the same judfctous
blend Of the best works Of the best COM
posers with the lighter forms of musical
expression that has so thoroughly proven
it's popularity with American audiences.
George Frederic Hinton will accompany me
to Europe as business manager and Frank
