Another Rainy Sunday.


Most people were hOuse-bOund again
Yesterday by the rain and the raw con,
ditions which prevailed. The pi9',ai
weather of Saturday was followed py
heavy showers throughout most Oh Ihe
NIGHT. The wind was from the rortn-
east and the mild temperature OF 'he
past week gave place to colder weather,
rendering fires again comfortable. Inc
meteorological conditions were similar
to those prevailing at the vernal
equinox. As is always the case on
rainy Sundays, there were many empty
news in the churches at 10th the morn
ing and night services. The rain and
cloudy conditions continued throughout
last night, and there were heavy down
pours again this morning accompanied
by some thunder and lighting. The
wind was variable and at times blew
stiff and cold from the northwest, which
led many TO suppose an early "t;lear-
NM would soon follow. Several heavy
showers followed, however, and one,
which started in shortly before II O'Clock
sayored of a cloud-burst, judging from
the amount of water which fell IN the
course of few minutes. Thestreets were
flooded and in many places the water
oyerAowed the cutters. AT most inter
sections it was impossible to cross with
out wading knee-deep. On Royal street
from Prince to Wilkes the surging waters
extended from curb to curb and were
awash with the pavements and In some
instances encroached upon them. The
sewer on the lower part OF the streets
was soon gorged and both roadway and
pavements were submerged. The rail-
road tunnel was converted into a man.
moth sewer which relieved the conges-
tion considerably. The waters roared
and surged through it, and at the east
end formed lake several feet deep.
The heavy rains have flooded mitch OF
the lowlands near this city. The rail-
roads. however, have escaped injury and
trains have been arriving and departing
as usual today. Some delay was caused
the electric and steam trains III wash
ington today by the mary heavy showers.
Between three and four o'clock TINS
afternoon the clouds parted and the
weather became fair.

Conservation of Sharon Chapel.

The new chapel lately built in Fairfax
o,nntv three miles from this city, known
as sharon Episcopal Chapel, was conse-
Grated Yesterday morning with appro-
nriate ceremonies by Bishop Gibson IN
he nreqence of good congregation con-
s;dering the unpropitious state OF the
msatbe1 Besides Bishop Gibson, the
",her clergy in attendance were the
Reys Professors Green and Wallis, OF
the Theological Seminary, near this city;
Rev, Robb White, jr., of Greene county,
and the Rev. John NJ. Robson, of
Buena Vista, Va. These, with the
students in charge of the mission and
the trustees of the chapel, form
ed in procession in the vestibule Of the
church and proceeded up the aisle to the
chancel repeating the twenty fourth
psalms alternately with the bishop who
read the res. of the conservation service
in the chancel. The original deed given
by the late Mr.. John J. Frobel, and
bearing date August Is, 1S49, was read
by Mr.. Churchill J. Chamberlayne,
student in charge, and the sentence OF
conservation by the Rev. S. A. Wallis.
The usual Episcopal service OF morning
PRAYER with special psalms and lessons
we're read by the Rev. Professors Green
and Robb White, jr., followed by holy
communion administered by the bishop.
An excellent sermon was preached by
the Rev. John NJ. Robson, in which he
gave short history of the present chapel.
and told of the first edifice ouiit OF
logs over fifty years ago. In the chapel
Bishops Phillips Brooks and A. M.
Randolph ministered as students Ihis
chapel was destroyed during the civil
war. Shortly after its conclusion a
frame chapel was built, in which Bishops
Dudley and Peterkin labored during
their student days. Professor Green
was also connected with this mission
when a student at the Seminary. The
second chapel was lately declared unsafe
and mainly through the instrumentality
of the Rev. Messrs. Robson and White,
then students in charge, the present at
tractive ediAce consecrated yesterday
was built. The congregation at Sharon
are 10 be congratulated on their zeal IN
working for this building, as the greater
part of the money required was raised
in the community. The first trustees
of the Sharon Chapel property were
Messrs. Tobias A. Stoutenburgh, Richard
NJ. Scott, Bushrod W. Frobel, and the
Rev. DIR. Dana, formerly rector OF Christ
Church in this city.
