Secretary Longs Statement as to Crew
of Petrel

Secretary Long has issued a general
order announcing the action of the Navy
Department in the case of the fire in the
sail room of the L. s. S. Petrol, on the
Asiatic station, March 81 1901
1t appears from the report of Lieut. j.
S. Mexican that Lieut.. Commander Jesse
NJ Roper, then in command of the Petrol,
went down in the fore passage Of the ship,
filled at the time with dense and acrid
smoke, in the endeavor to save the lives OF
those who, in their efforts to subdue the
fire were in danger of death from suffoca-
tion. Partially overcome by the smoke
and gases he was assisted up the hatchway
and on to the berth deck
Learning, on his recovery that Patrick
Toner, seaman, was still below and likely
10 perish from suffocation, Lieutenant
Commander Roper, deaf to the entreates OF
those about him, descended a second time
and noby sacrificed his own life in his eff
forts to save the life of one of his crew.
Such self-sacrificing herosm says Sec
retary Long, merits the highest commen-
dation and is worthy of the best traditions
of the service
Lieutenant Mexican, although on the sick
list at the time. went down through the
dense smoke, accompanied by Private l.. F.
ThieS of the Marine Corps and Seaman f
Cahey. all fearessly exposing themselves
To death. and brought out what proved to
De the nIeleSS form their comma ndlng z
officer. and rescued Naval Cadet j. E.
Lewis from certain death. Cadet Lewis
was also conspicuous for his courage, in
offering his own life in the effort to save
that of Toner and TO prevent such risk on
the part of his commanding officer. A.
Girandy. seaman, at the imminent risk of
his own life. succeeded in saving the lives
of three of his comrades
These several acts of self-devotion' -
says Secretary Long. reflect the greatest
credit the officers and men designated
performing them, and entitle each of
the latter to a medal of honor and the ac-
companying gratuity of 500, and would en-
title each of the officers to the medal did
the law permit it's being given to a naval
officer.
Medals and a gratuity of 500 were, there
fore, awarded to Lewis +. Thies, private,
L. S. NJ. c., and to r. Cahey and A.
Girandy, seamen
The order also names a number of other
officers and men who showed courage and
professional ability on the occasion in
question, and closed with the statement
that the conduct of all on board was highly
creditable and deserving of the thanks
of the naval service.

LOCATION STILL IN DOUBT.
Foundry Church Members Undecided
as to Site for New Edifice.

The committee Of seven on selection of q
site for Foundry NJ. E. Church has not yet
made its report About 100 different plots
of ground have been offered to the COM
mittee for consideration, but no concerted
action has been taken to designate the COM
mittee's choice. The members of the COM
mittee will hold a meeting next Thursday
night, however, when they will decide on
recommendations of the sites presented
which seem to be most suitable for the pur-
poses of a church building and from which
choice may be made.
AT the adjourned meeting of the quarter
ly conference held Monday night to arrange
unfinished matters for the annual confer
ence In Baltimore Dr. Wilson stated that
meeting of the quarterly conference will
De held Friday night, April Is. when the re-
ports OF the site committee will be conSid-
cred The selection and purchase of a new
location, according to the law of the Meth
odist Church, rest with the members of
the quarterly conference, who are empow-
cred to authorize the transaction of all
church business through the board of trus-
tees.
1t Is understood there Is sentiment
among members of the official board of ST.
Paufs and of Foundry churches favorable
TO a union of the two organizations. In
case a site for Foundry shall be chosen near
St Pauls Church building, located on the
corner of 10Th and R streets, it is regarded
as probable that the two societies will unite
The money derived from this sale and that
of old Foundry will in that case in all
probability, be used in the erection of two
new churches, one for the consolidated or
ganizations and the other at Mt. Pleasant
This view seems to be corroborated by the
remarks of DR.. H. r. Naylor, presiding
elder of Washington district, the floor of
the conference at Baltimore Thursday. as
reported in The Star yesterday, when he
said:
"A promising Sunday school and a prayer
meeting have been established at Mount
Pleasant, under the guardianship Of Foun-
dry. Historic Foundry has been sold. With
the money derived from this sale are
hoping that the trustees will erect in the
northwest not only a suitable building for
themselves, but for their foster-child at
Mount Pleasant
The individual members, of the committee
on location have perhaps decided in their
own minds as to suitable sites, but nothing
is given out at this time in regard to pri
vate choice, for many reasons.
