AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN
Change in Pastors at Holy Trinity Church
Announced.
Rev. william j. Seaman, s. j., Order
ed to New York City-Other
News Items.

y
Trinity Church, corner of Seth and o
streets has been ordered away by the pro-
vincial of the New York-Maryland prov
ince of the Society of Jesus. He will be
sent to New York city, where he will be
thus Church. Father Seaman is making
preparations to start to his new field of la
bor some time next Tuesday.
The change was announced by Father
Seaman some time yesterday afternoon. and
came in the nature of surprise to many
people connected with the church, though
it is understood the pastor himself was ex-
pecting something of the sort. He has
been in charge of Trinity Church for fully
five years, succeeding Rev. Father Brady,
who died at the parish house. Father
Brady was the successor of Rev, Father
Murphy, who also died while in charge of
the parish. Prior to his pastorate the par
ish was in charge of Rev. Stephen Kelly,
who is now assistant pastor at st. Aloysius
Church. Washington.
During the time he has been in charge of
Trinity Church, it is declared. Father
Seaman has been most successful. He not
only cleared the church of heavy debt,
which was created before his term. but
he made a number of improvements, all
of which have been paid for, and the
been for several years. Owing to his abil-
ity as a financier. he has been kept in
charge here longer time than is usually
allotted to members of the order. AS no
change was announced in the orders at the
Usual time, however, it was thought that
he would be retained as head Of the parish
for another season.
Probable Successor.
While not as yet positively known, it is
stated that Rev. Francis X. Mulvaney, 81.
the assistant pastor, will be made regular
pastor. Father Mulvaney, who was or
dained only short time ago, was prior to
that time connected with Georgetown Uni
versity. Trinity Church was his first
charge During the time that ne has been
connected with the church he has made
friends with all of the members of the con-
gregation, and should he become perma-
nent pastor it will be gratifying to many.
Recently Rev Father McAtee was order
ed to Trinity Church as assistant pastor,
making three priests connected with the
parish. Father McAtee arrived several
weeks ago, and entered upon the active
duties of his position. though his advanced
years make the duties somewhat arduous
upon him, it his thought. He will remain
at the church and assist Father Mulvaney
until further orders are given out.
Miss Posey Young, who for many years
has had charge of the altar decorations
and veStmentS of the church, is now in
Philadelphia. where she has been appoint
ed head matron of the sailors home.
Through the influence of the wife of Com
modore Sands she consented to enter upon
the new duties, leaving this city about
July II for a t~ial in the new field Of work.
This trial proved satisfactory. and Miss
Young will remain in Philadelphia.
Sudden Death.
Thomas Rideout, a colored man aged
about sixty years who resides at 1893 18th
street northwest, died quite suddenly this
morning at 1915 o'clock while sitting in a
