Twenty-sixth and Marshall streets. was
the scene of very large gathering last
evening, when the members of that con-
gregation together with many from the

Street church, and many from other re-
ligious bodies on Church Hill. assembled

Rev. Preston Nash, Of the Episcopal
Church; Revs. NJ. Ashby Jones and II.
l.. Quarles. Of the Baptist Church, and
II. C. Garrison and q. T. Sweeney, OF the
Disciples Church. After the excellent
choir had sung "All Hail the Power of
Jesus Name" Rev. Mr. Garrison, who
presided, read a selection from the
Psalms This was followed With an
earnest and fervent prayer by Rev. Mr.
Quarles. The choir then sang the in
spring hymn. "Oh. Hasten the Day
When All of Gods People Are One"
Mr.. Garrison, in opening the services,
presented in few well chosen words
comparison OF the occasion to the mar
riage ceremony. likening the marriage of

much moment, and. if possible, of more
serious import. in that ii is 10 cultivate
the union Of the soul to God.

MINISTER'S WILL BE ADMITTED.
The Quarantine mt the PenitentiarS
Dnes Not Apply TO Them.

At the meeting OF the Board of Direc-
tors Of the penitentiary, held yesterday
afternoon, n committee of ministers OF.
the city appeared and asked that the
quarantine at the institution be relaxed,
so far as it refers to the ministers of the
Gospel and Sunday-school workers.
This quarantine was put into force some
weeks ago. in view Of the prevalence of
smallpox at certain points on the sea
coast of Virginia. 1t was made general
because visitors are constantly coming TO
the prison from all parts Of the State,
and 1t was not thought wise to undertake
to make any discrimination as to visit
ors The board. however. informed the
ministers yesterday that they were mad
vertently included in the order. and that
the rule as to them was therefore amend
ed last week. and that they would be adj
mtted hereafter
very full discussion as 10 the admit
lance of Sunday chool workers then took
places. Several of the minister's DIR. Har-
rison. the Surgeon Of the Penitentiary,
and Captain w r. White, the Assistant
superintendent discussed the question at
length. Superintendent Helms was alb
sent from the city. Action was deferred
until Friday.

More Rniseh Notes.

A counterfeit so bill was discovered al
the National Bank of Virginia, where il
was offered for deposit by one of the
regular customers. II Is believed that &
number of these notes are in circulation
as this is the second that has been de
tected within the last day or so.
The counterfeit is a very clumsy at
tempt to raise a 81 bill eight points. The
larger figure 2 on the new notes is COW
cred by a thin figure 10 and X, with the
word Ten" while the smaller figures
near the centre of the note are erased OF
marked over.
on the opposite side the work is done
with equal cleverness, so that in changing
or depositing money none but a close OBJ
server would detect the counterfeiting.
Detectives have been detailed to work
on the case. and Mr.. Lockwood, the
cashier OF the bank, is of the opinion
that the source will not be very hard to
trace
