Columbus Wilson Charged With a
MurderOus Assault.
Columbus Wilson, who. as stated in The
Star of yesterday, was arrested by Sergeant
Slattery on the charge of assaulting John
Bernard by cutting him in the side with a
knife. was today taken to the Police Court
by Sergeants Slattery and Hartigan and
formally committed to Jail by direction OF
Prosecutor Mullowny to await the result OF
Bennard's injuries.
Before being taken to prison Wilson was
photographed for the rogues' gallery at po-
lice headquarters. 1t is asserted by some OF
the police authorities that Wilson confessed
he cut Bernard, as charged, but he said
today to some newspaper men that he did
not know whether he was guilty or not.
Wilson appears to be somewhat simple
minded.
The physicians at the Homeopa thic Hos
pital, where Bernard is being cared for,
today said that the wounded man was doing
very well and that there is every reason to
believe he will recover.

BROTHERHOOD OF ST. ANDREW.
Bi-MOnthly Meeting of Council q
nil nh isla 4a

Bi-MOnthly Meeting of Council at
Epiphany Parish Hall.
The b!-monthly meeting of the Council of
the Brotherhood of st. Andrew was held at
the Church Of the Epiphany Parish Hall
last night. Mr.. Dent vice president, in the
absence Of Director Frank w. Evans had
charge Of the session. The address of the
occasion was made by the Rev. Mr.. Sparks,
assistant rector Of the Church of the Ascen-
sion. His words of encouragement and adj
vice were much appreciated.
A very important matter to the member
ship was the adoption of constitution
presented by Chairman LOCKER Of the COM
mittee on change of rules. Under the new
form the council gives way to an assembly,
and every member has the right to take
part in the proceedings Of a meeting. This
does away with the old system Of sending
delegates from each chapter. Hereafter an
executive committee of fifteen, representing
the different sections of the District will
have charge Of the general matters of the
assembly.
The coming convention at Richmond, Oc-
tOber 10 to H. inclusive, was discussed.
Nothing definite could be decided upon, as
the transportation fare was still under con-
Sideratlon. 1t was learned that SO far one
and a third rate was promised, but that ef-
forts to secure a One-fare ticket were being
made. 1t was stated that delegation of
at least one hundred and fifty members was
being formed to go.
Another statement made was that in two
years time the great international council
meeting would be held here. This will bring
to Washington bishops, clergy and laymen
from all parts of the world where the
brotherhood exists.
After short talks by the Rev. DIR. Devries
and Messrs. Clay, Pierce and others the
meeting adjourned.
