.wHoLHsALE PRODUCE MARKET.
Butter Slightly Lower-Cheese Away
Down.

1SOW Ne
The condition Of the local wholesale pro-
duce market today remains practically as
1t was q week ago. Butter, in the top
grade. is about half a cent lower than it
was last Saturday, the lower grades re-
naming unchanged. Present prices are
likely to hold about the same for a few
weeks. Cheese is much lower. and the mar
ket is weaker consequently. Eggs main
tain last weeks prices. They are quite
firm and Indications point to higher prices.
Poultry shows little, II any, material
change and vegetables and fruit show
only the changes noticed at this season,
the same being true Of beef and other
n eats. --.ss-----.---

nancfal Condition.
To the Editor Of Tn, Evening Star:
An article appeared in The Star Friday.
May %. in regard to St. Andrews Church.
which was misleading. and the effect is
liable to be injurious to the church II not
corrected. st. Andrews is not in the
financial straights'' alleged in the article
and the general upheaval Of existing con-
ditions as intimated are in no wise likely
to occur. The writer of the article, who
was given an outline of it's affairs In q
friendly conversation, evidently and unfor-
tunately enlarged upon the Information re-
ceiSed and made it appear that the church
was on the verge of bankruptcy, that
strained relations exist between the assist
the vestry is confronted with a deplorable
state OF affairs, when. as a matter of fact,
considering the stringency of the times,
Few churches can show a more fiattering
condition. Like all churches that engage
to erect a new building, it has incurred
Indebtedness. and it Is in conformity with
lines laid down by the church toward the
LIQUIDATION OF its debts that the same prac-
heretofore will be followed for the neces-
sary time In the future. Prior to October
last the church. at the earnest solicitation
OF the rector. had dispensed with an assist
ant to promote the end in view. The ves-
try, Observing the vast amount Of labor
thus entailed upon him. insisted upon ar
ranging, and did arrange, for an assistant
for year. It was found. however, at the
close of the '96-'97 year, which ended April
SO. that this arrangement would not afford
q surplus such as was desired to place on
the debts. and 1t was decided, under
mutual and friendly understanding by all
concerned to return in September to the
methcd prevailing a year ago. That this
&C Inclusion was not the result of a deficit
or Strengthened financial condition" but
1or the sole purpose of enlarglng the debt
payments, is readily recognized by a glance
at the official parochial report made May 1:
In 1act, Few Episcopal churches can present
a more successful showing. The report
SHOWS receipts for the year amounting to:
Few rents. 1900; church offerings, S. 100:
communion aims. $271; Sunday school $225:
parish societies. s915; other sources, 81, ,l35;
a total of $l2S76. Total expenditures. in
Guiding salaries. fuel, lights, charities G72O.
repairs, improvements, ETC., amounted TO
$lo, 10. or the balance shown to its credit
S2UO was devoted to debt payment 1t is
desired to increase this payment next year.
nence the proposed change Of present ar
rangments. The rector assistant yestrv
and congregation feel agrieved that an i'm
preston so erroneous as that convened in
the article should have been made. and
while there is universal regret that the
course outlined is the best to pursue, there
IS perfect unanfmity Of opinion, Of har-
nnony and good feeling throughout the en-
TIRE parish upon the question.

REQUIRED TO GIVE BONDS
James Il. strosnider, sprinter, Held BY West
Virginia Authorities.
He IL Wanted Here fer Obtaining
Money Under False Pretenses-De.
tective Weedonss Experience.

Inspector Hollinberger received q tele-
gram yesterday afternoon from Detective
Weldon. at Wheeling, W. Va, stating that
James H. strosniderr under indictment
here, had been required toNgive bonds in
$1,000 security to answer the charge
against him here. In the event Of his being
unable to give the security, he will be
brought to this city later by the marshal.
The defendant Is the man who is charged
here with swindling Mr.. Edward McCann
to the extent of $3.50 and a diamond ring
worth $50, by pretending he was going to
participate in foot race with another
man. and that he expected to realize a
handsome sum on the affair. incidentally,
he wanted to wear Mr.. McCann's diamond
ring while making the bargain with his
pretended victim, for the reason. that, as
he stated, he wanted to look "fashy.''
Mr- McCann and Strosnider had been in
timate during their school days, which
were spent at Washington, Pa, and for
this reason he did not hesitate to accom-
modate him with the loan. 1t was due to
a good piece of detective work that Messrs.
Horne and Weldon located Strosnider at
Moundsville, w. Va. Detective Weldon
and Mccain. the victim, went to the West
Virginia city, where the state penitentiary
Is located, and the officers experience
there, he declares, will never be forgotten.
Believe In the Fee System.
Almost every official with whom he came
in contact, he says. played the Pullman
porter act and demanded fee. When sew
eral of these demands had been met, and
the officer saw that he had no chance of
getting his man from the Moundsville
magistrate he concluded to take the case
bc rore the United States commissioner at
Wheeling, but before going he was told
that. as an act of courtesy, he should call
lodged there. The magistrate had no OBJ
lection to this move, but he wanted an
other fee of $1.50.
The detective had run short of funds,
had Just one dollar left, but this would
not do and SO he went with a deputy
sEerin to Mr.. McCann and borrowed the
amount. To cap the climax, the authOri-
quiring the officer to give security for his
appearance, but he managed 10 talk them
out OF that.
The magistrate postponed the case, neces-
stating the return of the officer to Wash
ington, and a few days ago the chief of
police of Moundsville sent letter to Maj.
Moore, telling him that Strosnider's counsel
had demanded the alleged stolen bicycle,
and asked for instructions. He also asked
how he was to get his fee.
strosnider Weakened.
When Mr.. Mccain saw his old friend
in prison in West Virginia the latter at
first pretended he knew nothing about the
ring, but later he changed his mind and
begged that nothing be SAID to his wife
about his escapade in the Division" where
he got $25 and the bicycle from Blanche
Wheeler, an inmate Of house on 18th
street. Now that the prisoner has been
held for trial, the marshal will bring him
here and he will be arraigned in the Grim
iLal Court.
