ALEXANDRIA. Va, Oct. 29.-Capt.
Henry Pritchard, who resides in lower
Wilkes Street, this city, was shot in the
leg last night by an unknown negro and
seriously wounded. Captain Pritchard was
in command of the schooner Rebecca
Smith, owned by Capt. James Elliott, of
this city. He had been engaged in the
oyster trade. He discharged cargo at
Washington Thursday last and that even
ing sailed for the lower river Last nigh!
the vessel was lying at Upper Machodoc,
few miles from Colonial Beach, when
Captain Prchard was aroused by a knock
at his cabin door When he opened the
door he was confronted by a negro who
asked permission to remain aboard the yes
sci all night. The captain advised the man
that he could not accommodate him,
whereupon the negro drew a pistol and
fred at the unsuspecting boatman, the ball
entering the upper part of the leg.
The negro then placed the muzzle of the
gun in the face Of his victim and de-
manded his money or his life Realizing
that he was at the mercy of the would-be
murderer Captain Pritchard gave the
robber jumped into a small boat, by the
use Of which he had reached the side of

The wounded man gave an alarm, but by

Captain Pritchard was given medical
attention and on the advice of the at
tending physician he was placed aboard
the steamer Wakefield this morning and
taken to Washington for treatment.
The wounded man stated today that
while he did not know the name of the
negro who shot him, he had seen him
before, and on one occasion had pur-
chased a chicken from him. At that time
the negro enquired of the captain if he
carried firearms, and was told that there
were weapons aboard.
Frank Ennis, of this city, mate on the
Rebecca Smith, was also in the cabin of
the vessel when the assault was made on
the captain. He related the circumstances
as given above. and stated that the cap

M'GIFFERT REMAINS FIRM.
The Professor Declines to Leave the
Presbyterian Ministry.

NEW YORK, Oct 29.-The committee
appointed by the New York Presbytery at
its June meeting to confer with Prof. Ar
thur c. McGiffert, of the Union Theological
Seminary, has failed in the attempt to in
duce him to withdraw quietly from the
Presbyterian ministry. Three formal meet
ings have been held ard several informal
conferences. At the final meeting just
held it was decided to abandon the at
tempt as impossible and so to report to the
Presbytery. The report to. be made to
the Presbytery at it's meeting two weeks
hence, the limit of time afforded the com
mittee. has already been drawn up ard
embodies the following points:
a reiteration Of the four items set forth
by the Presbyterian General Assembly at
Minneapolis. last May, as fundamental doe
tTines. The conviction that persons hold
ing beliefs contrary to these fundamental
doctrines should withdraw from the Pres
byterian Church, and a recommendation
to the Presbytery that it refer the case to
the General Assembly of next May for
more definite instructions.
When the committee reports to the Pres
bytery its recommendation that the case
be referred to the General Assembly, which
meets in May next, at St Louis it is by
no means certain that that body will accept
the suggestion. 1t is quite within its
power TO order a trial Of the Union Semi
nary professor forthwith The General AS
sembly gave the case to the committee
without instructions of any kind under the
expectation that Prof McGiffert could be
induced to withdraw. Now it is known that
ne will not do so. The Presbytery may
proceed with a trial, but to do so would
be, it is said, unusual and perhaps hasty.
and to invite a criticism which was made
at the time Prof. Briggs was tried, to
the effect that persecution and not prose-
cution was the order of things Presbyte-
rian opinion is general however that the
Presbytery will order the trial. The next
step lies with the New York Presbytery
That body can, at its next meeting. on
November l3, either order trial or a
reference. It might do neither and ap-
point another committee. but that is held

MoRMoNs IN NEW YORK
An Unusual Number of Converts Ar
riNing From Ahrnnd

riVing From Abroad.
NEW YORK, Oct 29-Mormonism has a
firm hold in this city and. according to the
immigration officials. is growing. For ten
years or more there has been a colony
Of Mormons here quietly preaching the doc
trines of the belief and doing missionary
work.
The extent Of the local Mormon colony
was brought forcibly to the attention OF
Commissioner of immigration FitchIe dur
ing the past week as a result Of the dstep
ton at the barge Office OF Mrs Emily
Bevan, convert to Mormonism. and a ma
tive OF Birmingham. England Mrs. Bevan
IS middie-aged widow. who arrived here
last Monday with her ten-year-oId son
harold, on the Anchor Line steamer Fur
nessia. The same ship brought over thirty
four other converts to Mormonism
Mrs. Bevan was detained not because OF
belief in Mormonism. but an examination
showed that her eyesight was defective TO
such a degree that it was believed she
would eventually become charge upon
the country. She had $500 in cash With her.
1t was through the extraordinary efforts
to obtain her release made by the MormOns
here that Commissioner Fitchie discovered
the extent OF the local colony. Many scores
"a NAlSAA4 NAaiLcu MN turing the past week
and each one made an argument showing
why the woman should be released. Some
asserted that she was being Disseminated
against because of her religious belief.
They offered TO give bond for her. The
woman was sent back on yesterdays
steamer
Most OF the Mormons who called at the
Barge Office came from Brooklyn. The Lax
ter-Day Saints have a meeting place at 80
Concord Street in that borough, which is a
sort Of Eastern headquarters. Commits
sioner Fitchie acknowledged yesterday that
he had been sending special reports to
the Treasury Department relative to the
unusual number OF Mormon converts ar
irving here from abroad He said
We can only tell they are Mormons
when they are bound straight through for
Salt Lake City. We cannot refuse ad-
mission to them for religious reasons. If,
however. it could be shown they were prac-
ticing polygamy they might be debarred
from landing as immoral persons"
Other officials in the Barge Office stated
that the Government had sent special de-
tectiyes here to investigate the Mormon
colony, particularly in regard to the re-
port that some Of them were practicins
polygamy. Commissioner Fitchie said he
knew nothing about the presence Of Gov
ernment detectives here on such a mis-
sion.

bourg, the North German Lloyd steamship
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse again lowered
the record for the fastest passage westward

seventeen hours and forty-eight minutes.
The best previous record. also held by the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, was of FIVE

eled at an average speed of 200S knots an

In the voyage ending yesterday 3,047
knots were Travelled. and the average speed
was 22.l4 knots
Officials Of the line point to the fact that
even this average is not equal to the best
average speed of the Kaiser Wilhelm der
