usually fine. The music, under
Miss Hattie Mann, as organist, and
R. B. Ayers, as leader of the choir,
together with the efficient and
faithful help of Mr.. and Mrs, Frank
WHITLEY, B. F. Smith and others,
has aided greatly in the regular
services Of the church. More than
two hundred new hymn books have
been placed in the church, and dur
ing the meeting those who attend
will hear soul-stirring Methodist
singing.
The pastor, Rev D.. f. G. Tim
mons, feels greatly encouraged.
The membership of the church has
steadily increased under his pas
t0rate. The finances are IN a
healthy condition and the congre-
cations are large and enthusiastic.

THE RED MEN.
Tishomingo Lodge of Improved Or
der of Red Men Entertain.

Last night the reporter was
present at the first entertainment
given by Tishomingo Lodge OF Red
mem.
The camp fire was kindled at nine
o'clock and the members OF the
lodge ia Indian file marched around
the room and opened the lodge in
ritualistic work involving the great
Spirit to guard them and their
friends the pale face during the
evenings entertainment.
Mr.. Walsh, one of the Tribesnen
was called upon to make speech
He started out to tell what order
of Red Men was doing in the world
as charitable institution, and at
this point got switched off on wo-
men in cemplimenting them for
lending their presence to the oeca-
SIGN and he did not let up on the
woman subject, but quoted poetry,
ran riot with prose on the subject
of love and chorus of the ladies and
wound himself up with the coup
let,
"The hand that rocks the cradle,
Is the hand that rules the world.
We heard one lady say after the
speech, ahat "the doctor is all
right"
After the speech, Mrs. Staley
favored the audience with some in
strumental music, and when we say
that the lady is an acceptiOnable
good performer, we do not doit
complimentary sense, bat thaf of
deserving for the lady gave expfes-
sion to her music something RARELY
heard in Texarkana.
A two act play was put on after
the music entitled; Popping the
Question. The characters we're
assumed by Misses. Carrie Hanpon,
Grace Ward, Clara Stephens and
Angie Rooch, Mr.. Paul Sheppard
and Floyd Timmons.
When the play was over cur
tain was lowered and stereopti-
can exhibition was given, consist
ing of pictures of our navy and
naval heroes, scenes in Cuba and
far away Philippines.
The entertainment was good
one and the Indians had splendid
and appreciative audience who
enjoyed all they saw and heard.
After the entertainment was
over the guests were given a
luncheon of good things to eat.
The evening will long be remem-
bered,

MORE OF THE BODY FOUND
Bundle Containing Human Entrails Taken
From East River.
Police Think They Are Part of the
Remains of MysteriOusly
Murdered Woman.

NEW YORK, October 1.-THE police de-
partment reported today that a bundle,
supposed to contain human entrails, had
been found in the East river at the foot
of Dover street. The bundle was wrapped
in cheese cloth and was sent to the morgue
by order Of the coroner.
The find was wrapped in a white canvas
bag two and half feet long and sixteen
inches wide. The flesh was covered with
blood and with it were four small and one
large piece of indicated gauze soaked with
blood A lot of what is supposed to be
surgical cotton was also found in corner
of the bag.
On the inside of the bag off toward one
corner were found the letters NJ. A. T.
The letters were an inch and a quarter
in height. There was nothing else about
the bag that would lead to identification.
There seems little doubt that this new
fragment is part of the body of the woman
whose left thigh was found in West 18th
street last Saturday, but unless the head
some portion of the body bearing a
scar or birthmark should be found, the
police despair of unraveling the mystery.
One line on which the detectives were
working has come to nothing, as the par
ents of Mrs. Gertrude Billings, whose hus-
band reported her missing, say they know
where she is and that she is in good health.

MEETING OF ARCHBISHOPS.
Annual COnvOcatiOn of Catholic Dig
nitaries of United States.

n1tAF1eS OF United States.
The annual meeting of the archbishops of
the Catholic Church of the United States
was held today at the Catholic University.
All the clergy of that rank were present,
with the exception Of Archbishops Feehan
of Chicago, Hennessey of Dubuque, Iowa,
and Chapelle of New Mexico. Those pres
ent were Cardinal Gibbons, who presided
Archbishop Kahn of St. Louis, who is the
secretary. and Archbishops Williams of
Boston. Corrigau of New York, Ryan of
Philadelphia, Ireland of st. Paul, Riordan
of San Francisco. Elder of Cincinnati and
Christie of Oregon.
The purpose Of these gatherings is to
consider matters relating to the work OF
the church. 1t was stated after an ad-
journment was taken for lunch that no
action had been reached in regard to any
of the subjects under consideration. 1t was
further said that nothing of general or spe-
cial interest was being considered at this
time.
Another session will be held this after
noon and then the conference will end.
A number of the Catholic societies and
other organizations in the church have filed
protests with some Of the archbishops
against what was termed the Dissertation
of the churches in the Philippines, and it
was the intention 1t is understood, to have
this question considered at the present
meeting. with the view of making some
representation on the subject to the United
States government. Now that Archbishop
Chapelle has been appointed apostolic
said all such protests will be sent to him,
and thai any communication to the govern
ment relative to the Catholic Church in
those islands will be made by him.

OPERATIONS ON THE RIVER.
Dredging the Virginia ChanneI-Re-
pairing the Aqueduct Bridge.

Col. Allen. the engineer officer in charge
of the Potomac river improvements has
reported to the War Department that dredg-
ing operations in the Virginia channel above
the Long bridge were continued by Con-
tractor A. NJ Clegg during the past month.
The estimated amount of material dredged
and deposited on the flats during that pc
riod was 1871 cubic yards. The excessive
delays that occurred during the month ag-
gregatfng more than 400 hours. Col Allen
says, were due principally to the failure of
the Edwards pump. which was put in when
the dredge was overhauled in July last.
The channel, 400 feet in width, has been
completed from the upper end of the bar
down to station rs, or about one-half way
through, but the shoalest part has just
been reached. 1t Is estimated that 1t will
be necessary to dredge at least 100000
yards more In order to materially benefit
navigation.
The work of clearing the reclaimed area
by cutting away the brush has been COM
pleted over the lower part of section II, be-
tween the reservoir and the causeway of
the Long bridge, and for several hundred
feet down on section III, adjoining the rail-
road track Brush Is being cut be-
tween the sewer canal and the reservoir
inlet on section II, where the next deposit
of material dredged from the river chan
nels Will be made.
Slow progress is reported in the work Of
repairing the damaged pier Of the Aaueduct
bridge over, the Potomac at GEORGETOWN.
and 1T does not seem probable that the
work will be completed by the date speci-
fled in the contract with the Central Con
tracing Company. to wit, November 30
next. An additional pump of eight inches
discharge and few tools have been taken
to the coffer-dam for the prosecution of the
work. Two derricks, with boilers and en-
gines. have been erected at the quarry. and
a considerable quantity of very good stone
mas been secured. The average number of
twenty.
Arrangements have been made by Col
Allen for the prompt removal of the wreck

According to Adjt. Gen. Corbin the War
Department has been thoroughly satisfied
of the innocence of Col. Jno H. Wholley Of
the LIST Washington Regiment Of the
charges preferred against him by some of
the subordinate officers of his regiment.
These charges were thoroughly investigated
by one of the most trustworthy officers Of
the service, and he soon satisfied himself
that they originated in pique and malice,
the ill-feeling against Col Wholley being
in part attributable to the fact that as a
regular army officer he was given the COM

some Of the state militia officers. He is to
be brevetted brigader general of volun-

The case is compared by War Depart
