empt n representatives Bank Ac-
count FL ON Attachment

The court of appeals decided the case
Of Milford w. Howard an Alabama
Congressman, against the Citizens

judgment. 1t could not be collected,
and his account of $91.12 in the Lincoln

ground that he was 3. nonresident. Mr.
Howard went to court, claiming that he
was exempt because he was a Congress
man and a bona fide resident of this

and he appealed to the higher court.
Justice Shepard held that a Congress
mans special privilege does not exempt
him from suit of this nature, and ouly
gives him immunity from arrest.

dence at the time. Of the attachment, it
is held that his real home is in Ala
bana, as held in the court below.

REV. DR.. MEYER breaches
The London Divine Speaks to a
Washington Audience.
The First Congregational Church Is
. Taxed to Its Utmost Capacity
Christian Devotion.

The large auditorium Of the First
Congregational Church was taxed to its
utmost late yesterday afternoon TO ac-
commOdate the audience that gathered
to hear Rev Dr. Meyer, of London,
preach.
Not only were the seats Of the main
auditorium occupied but also those Of
the galleries, and many persons were
compelled tostand along the side aisles
and in the rear of the church. The
choir, Of forty voices, was also present.
DR.. Meyer preached on the subject of
Christian devotion and urged upon his
hearers the Importance Of true devotion
to the spirit Of the Holy Ghost.
In speaking of the religious life of
today and The tendencies Of the age.
DR.. Meyer said that he had no doubt
that the wealth of the age had a strong
tendency to undermine the religious
life of the people. The children no
longer were brought up in the habit of
godllneSs. In the great cities that he
had visited he said that he had Inet
crowds upoh crowds of people and the
most forcibly was the intense hunger
that they all seemed to have for
deeper spiritual life.
Before they could have that they
must receive the Holy Ghost he said.
" Before they begin to prepare to as
cend they must be ready to be lifted
Let man cry out, woe is me, and feel
ho I, tl1a
spiritual life. We may have good re-
cords, but that is not all. We must
have deeper lessons. We must be bap-
tised more with the spirit of the Holy
Ghost. We must be brought down to
the place where, however much we may
be looked upon as paragons of excel
lence. we shall cry out, I am undone!'
This conviction can only be wrought by
the vision of Jesus. l want to come
into your midst not to attract atten-
tion, but TO cry out until by the grace
of God, the contagion shall have pass
ed from heart TO heart and we shall all
be bapised in the evangelical glory of
the Lamb of God
We must have more and more the
conviction that God is everywhere lie
is in all space and in all tirle. We
must have more and more the conVic-
ton of the penitent sinner. Blood and
fire are two things that we want as
much as anything else today We want
to lay claim to the blood Of the lamb
and the conviction viii come whereby
the cold heart. the selfseeking and the
proud, will be forgiven and we Will re-
ceive baptism of silent power"
DR.. Meyer is tail and slender and is
one of the most impressive pulpit
speakers that has been in this city for
some time His voice is one of rare de-
light to the auditor and his words are
spoken with great earnestness.
DR.. Meyer in the evening delivered an
other sermon along lines similar To his
afternoon discourse and preached TO an
audience even larger, many persons be-
ing turned away from the door

HE DREW TWO PENSIONS.
An Old Soldier Then Pleads That He
Fought in Two Wars

Benjamin Dowart, an old soldier, who,
until Monday, was an inmat te of the Sold
iers Home here. was held for the grand
jury yesterday by United States commits
sioner Mills, for fraud. Dowart drew
two pensions at the same time. One pen
sion of SO month he collected in San
Francisco. The other, of s17, he drew
in Philadelphia.
While the Government charges Dowart
only with fraudulently collecting s51, the
amount is really nearly $1,000. on Au-
gust IS. 1852. he began drawing his San
Francisco allowance, and upon Deem
Der 4. 1889. he began collecting on his
Philadelphia vouchers.
Yesterday the old soldier was taken to
the Pension Bureau and confronted with
the evidence against him. AT first he de-
MED that the San Francisco and Phla-
delphiay Signatures were the same, but he
broke down finally and confessed. Al the
hearing he said in defense that, as he
had enlisted twice, he thought he was
entitled TO two pensions.

The Arguments in Kennedy Coal
Case are Completed


Case are Completed
The hearing In the Kennedy coal case
occupied the greater part of the time
OF the United States branch of the
police court yesterday.
All the testimony for both sides was
taken and Mr. Mullowny for the Gov
ernment and Messrs Jere NJ. Wilson
and Alpheus Johnson, for the defense
addressed the court on the law rela-
tive to the matter. A verdict will, in
all probability, be reached today.
When the hearing was resumed Mr..
j. ,. Scherer. who was on the witness
stand for the Government. concluded
his testimony
Mr.. William B. Mullen, who was
at that time sealer of weights
and measures, testified in corroboration
of Mr.. Sherer. Mr.. j. d. Miller, acting
sealer of weights and measures testi-
ned that in November last he tested the
scales OF Mr.. Harper and found them
slX pounds in excess of every 1000
pounds.
In electing the counts upon which the
defendant will be charged Mr., Mullow-
ny chose the first, which charged that n
certificate of the seller should accom-
pany the coal sold. The certificate was
signed by District Inspector J. c. How
ard and not the seller. Judge Scott
held that the certificate was not in ac
cordance with the law governing the
matter.
Mr.. Mullowny entered a mol. pros.
against the second count, which
charged the defendant with not having
delivered the proper certificate to the
driver Mr.. Kennedy took the stand
and testified that the Inspector is al
ways present when the coal is sent out
but that he is sometimes late.
Mr.. Kennedy admitted on cross-ex-
animation that in 1885 he had to make
good 210 pounds in filing contract at
the Madison school. He explained that
the shortage was caused by the tail
board being jolted out of one of his
carts while crossing the railroad track.
