While Johnny Wright and Ole Jackson
were absorbed in watching the rolling bones
Thursday afternoon in the formers saloon.
lO5 South Twelfth street, Officer Noah
Thomas corralled the stakes and arrested
the players. Both were locked up. The Off
GERS have suspected for some time that a
crap game was being run in Wright's place
when no copper was In sight. Captain
Donahue sent Officer Thomas in citizens
clothing TO the place to see what could be
seen. Thomas was not observed when he
entered, so engrossed were the men I'm the
saloon over the gam which Wright and
Jackson were playing. The stakes were $3.50
a pass, Thomas stood quietly by and
watched Wright take $3.50 from jackson
and then another round began. While

a lawsuit was abruptly terminated in a
somewhat unusual manner in Judge Sla-
baugh's court yesterday. The Globe Ma
tional bank of Chicago was suing r. r.
Woods on a note for which, the defendant
asserted, no consideration had been given.
During the trial it developed that Woods
haa ehecled a settlement with C. N. Deitz
OF some business matters relating TO a coal
in which they were both interested
and by the terms of the settlement Deitz
assumed the responsibility for the note in
controversy. This put a different face on
the matter and the litigation was dropped

Rev. Arthur L. Williams of Christ's
church, Chicago, was born in Canada ana
when a small boy removed to the United
States. He is about A years of age and is
the son of a Presbyterian clergyman. Al
though not a college graduate, he received
a thorough education in a high school and
q seminary in Kansas. When a mere boy,
he sought his fortunes in the west and went
to Colorado, where he soon became the SUI
perintendent of one of the railroads run
ming out from Denver. There and while serv-
ing in this capacity he exhibited rare cour-
age and presence of mind upon a certain
occasion when he became the object of the
vengeance of an angry mob which he sue
ceeded In calming and compelling the menu
bers to listen to his words of reason. Later
he was elected secretary of the Board OF
Trade at Lamont, Colo, where he became
a lay reader in the Episcopal church and
a candidate for orders. In 1887 he removed
to Chicago and spent two years in the Epis-
copal seminary there, winning the respect
of the faculty, both as a student and a man
of force and character. Finishing his course
of study, he returned to Colorado and was
assigned to the Meeker parish, where he
made an unusual record.
Up to this time Meeker. a mining camp.
had been without religious services of any
kind. Within two years Rev. Williams built
a church and gathered about him some
sixty communicates. Subsequently and in
1892 he returned to Chicago, where he is
said to have been eminently successful in
his work. He is said to be particularly
strong with men and has been able to do
q good work among the university students.
He is a thoroughly sound churchman, very
of church principles and cour-
ageous IN asserting them. In Chicago he
has acquired a handsome and commodious
piece of property and has built an ample
chapel and a parish house. He is a married
man.

sent this great church and that is why | put
forward Rev. Williams OF Chicago"
Rev. John Williams said that for thirty
three years he was a layman and but thirty
one years a priest. All men, he said. have
their friends who have high opinions OF
them. Priests are needed to win laymen to
God. Speaking plainly, Rev. Williams said
that he did not want a bishop solely for the
clergy, but instead wanted one who will
help the laymen along in their efforts to
help build UP the church and be their
bishop.
J. Edgar Howard wanted a coadjutor who
would be as much in the sod house on the
western prairie as on the rich throne Of the
cathedral Of this city.
Dean Fair Highly spoken or.
Rev. II. Percy Silver urged the election OF
Dean Fair, a man who is respected and
loved by both clergy and laity alike, who
is ripe In years and who has had experience
in church and missionary work.
Rev. w. II. Howard paid a tribute to Rev.
a. l.. Williams. lie said that he had known
him for several years and during that time
he had accomplished much good.
Rev. Mulllgan testified to an acquaintance
of a number of years with Rev. Williams of
SAAitd6Ds IIt "a lOuUu hllu d lldu vi dUllllN
and a Christian.
Layman Carroll s. Montgomery urged the
appointment of a young or middle-aged man.
1t would be folly, the speaker said, to elect
a man as bishop who has passed the age of
30 years. Mr.. Montgomery insisted that
Dean Fairs age was against him.
Rev. Hines insisted that the argument
as to Dean Fairs age had not been well
taken. The speaker explained that the dean
is but So years of age. Backing up his
argument, Rev. Hines said that OF the
bishops, most of them in the United States
and England have been elected after reach
ing So years of age.
Canon Whitmarsh moved that the COM
mittee Of the whole arise, report progress
and ask to be discharged. BY a unanimous
vote the motion prevailed.
Rev. John Williams moved that the coun-
ell proceed to ballot for coadjutor bishop.
There was no opposition and the motion
prevailed.
Dean Fair, the chairman, invited Rev.
John Williams to preside during the taking
of the vote.
The result Of the vote of the clergy was
as follows: Williams, 16; Fair, ..
Rev. Williams having received the neces-
sary proportion of the clerical vote cast was
elected, after which the vote of
the laity was taken on confirmation.
The result of this vote was as follows.
Williams, IS; Fair, 90.
Having received the constitutional major
ity of both branches of the council, Rev.
of Chicago was declared elected
coadjutor bishop.
Upon returning to the chair Dean Fal7
congratulated the council upon the speedy
of a coadjutor bishop for the do
cese of Nebraska.
The election of Rev. Williams was then,
upon motion, made unanimous. The usual
exercises were held and at mid
night the council adjourned until 8 O'clock
this morning.

THE expenditures for improvement at
the washington yard during the hScai year
were $40. .093.44. The principal outlays un-
der this head were for a new storenouse
for guns authorized by act Of May 4, 1898,
and for the improvement and increase of
the electric light plant appropriated for by
acts of May 4, 1928. and July Z, 1898. The
works mentioned were very nearly COM
pleted during the fiscal year and some
progress was made upon the new roofs for
south gun shop and the quadrangle build
ing.
1.-THE chief expenditures for repairs were
upon the yard buildings, roads and walks,
tracks. and heating apparatus. The larg-
est item was for bringing to grade the
western portion of the yard, where several
improvements have been carried on during
the last two years. and it became necessary
to raise the grade OF the streets in this
portion to conform as nearly as possible
to the grades of the city Of Washington in
the vicinity of the yard The expendi-
lures for this item were about S17, ,000 and
so much more work Of this character is
necessary that the bureau has elsewhere
recommended an appropriation for grading
and paving.
THE expenses for general maintenance
were of miscellaneous character, nearly
one-third of the whole being for coal and
other fuel. The other principal outlays
were for machinery. maintenance Of teams.
furniture for houses and offices, and clean
ing and clearing up the yard.

market the professional board room traders
sold stocks down and then bid them up
again. and vice versa, without much help
or hindrance from outside conditions. Lon
don houses continued to buy in this mar
ket, and this circumstance, together with
the higher range of prices for American
stocks shown in the early cabled advices,
caused general fractional advances at the
opening. To some extent also good effect
was exercised by the mornings news in
regard to the actual state of affairs at Ma
Mia and by the evidence also contained
therein in respect to the friendly relations
existing between the United States and
Germany. Apart from the latter repre-
sentations and the definite correction of the
absurd stock jobbing rumor circulated yes
terday. there was little to serve as a guide
in new speculative venture. There was
unquestionably reactionary effect upon the
local dealings exercised by the unsettled
speculation in mining stocks in Boston,
and this was reflected particularly in the
early dealings in the pressure apparent on
Burlington and Quincy and Atchison, both
favorites with Boston speculators. The
shifting of loans incidental to the first OF
the month caused a more active call loan
money market, but the bulk of the new
borrowing was effected under per cent.
No change was reported in the rate for time
loan commercial paper. Sterling exchange
was somewhat weaker on increased offer
ings of commercial bills. The Reading
Company made the most interesting ex-
hibit, the coal and iron company in jan
uary reported surplus of S194, coo, against
a deficit for the same month last year of
over $4,000. The days situation was
otherwise featureless and discussion was
chiefly taken up with the various dividend
declarations expected next week rather
than with the current circumstances. On
this account Sugar Refining and ST. Paul
were naturally installed as speculative IA
vorites. though as regards these two stocks
uncertainty in well Uniformed circles is felt
only in respect to the first named. Apart
from the days traffic returns and the noted
dividend expectations, there was nothing
bearing upon particular stocks. In the rail-
way list the dealings were most active in
the granger stocks Union and Northern
Pacific. and the Atchison shares. Manhat-
tan Railway was lightly dealt in. with
significant price changes. The State Rail-
road Commission today approved the in
creased capital stock for electric equip
ment purposes. Texas and Pacific was
strong, and Kansas and Texas also showed
gain. The general market closed dull
