PROBABLE MURDER.
Body of John Sullivan Found in
Mangled Condition.

The authorities at Hyattsvlle, Md, will
hold an inquest at 6 o'clock tonight for the
purpose of inquiring into the cause of the
death of John Sullivan, fifty years Of age
a timer, who lived at 81 N street northeast
Sullivans body was found on the tracks of
the electric car line in Brentwood about
o o'clock last night. 1t was discovered
by employees in charge Of car No. 4O4 after
the body had been run over. Life was ex-
tinct and the body was badly mangled and
bruised. The skull had been fractured the
right arm nearly severed at the elbow the
left leg and knee badly crushed and there
were several cuts about the face
The belief was expressed that the man
had been murdered and then placed on
the tracks to give the impression that he
was killed by car. The car was moving
at slow rate of speed when it struck the
body at point about thirty yards from
Henry street At that point trees over
shadow the car tracks and it was very
dark Railroad officials state that it would
have been impossible for a car to have
struck the man without the fact having
been known instantly by the crew of the
car. 1t is pointed out that the BODY would
have been thrown from the track and not
left as 1t was with the head and one arm
lying on the track in which position it was
found
The theory that Sullivan had been rnur
dered is borne out by the statements of a
motorman and conductor of car which
passed the place about ten minutes before
the body was found. They state that they
heard some men fighting along the tracks
and that four men boarded their car he
tween Hyattsville and Riverdale about 9,3O
o'clock and engaged in a conversati ton
among themselves concerning fight which
had taken place a short time previously
The matter happened beyond the turis-
diction of the local police, but Constable
Vincent of Hyattsvilla was notified of the
occurrence. The body was placed in the
IN nd mr. q 70 ME
G streets northwest In the meantime the
morgue had been notified and they wagon
was in waiting whenithe car arrived at the
end of the route and transferred 1t to the
morgue. The body WAS not identified until
some time later, when Morguemaster
Schoenberger got in communication with
Michael Sullivan, a son of the dead man
and ascertained that IT was that of his
father. Undertaken Costello took charge of
the remains to prepare them for interment
at the conclusion of the inquest.

PASTORS Anniversary.
Rev. John Compton Ball Begins Second
Year at Metropolitan Baptist Church.

A large audience gathered yesterday
morning in the Metropolitan Baptist
Church, 9Th and streets northeast to
celebrate the first anniversary of the pres
ent pastorate. The pastor, Rev. John
Compton Ball, preached a sermon appro-
pirate to the occasion, taking as his text,
"Lengthen the cords and strengthen the
stakes" Isa., 54:2.
After citing the historical occasion for
Isaiah's utterance and showing how all
prophesy has dougle significance, two
fold fulfllment, the speaker applied the
words of the text to the day and time OF
the Metropolitan Church as being the call
of God to an enlarged service.
This passage of Scripture is prophetic
of our need said the pastor. ''Lengthen
the cords in the days of Isaiah meant,
enlarge the tent; in 1904 it means, a new
church building, larger and more modern,
for the Lords service. Strengthen the
stakes meant. in Isaiah's day, stronger
supports for the tent, driven deeper into
the soil; for us it means ain enlarged midi
viduality.
There are three kinds of culture in the
world. agriculture, for the farmer; hortl-
culture, for the gardener. and soul culture.

the tree that roots itself more deeply In
the bosom of mother earth. The man who

there's good fighting all along the line
Gods sign of approval is larger oppor-
tunity for service. 1t is the faithful en-
ploye who is promoted. The brave soldier
is rewarded with increased responsibility"
The report of the church for the year re-
vealed marked prosperity all along the line.
The Sunday school and church buildings
are too small, it is found, to accommodate
the audience In finances the current ex-
pense column shows an increase Of contrl-
buttons amounting to over $500. Fifty-six
new names appear on the membership list
and the audiences yesterday indicate con-
tinued growth.

CELEBRATION CLOSED.
Hebrew New Year Exercises Ended at
Sunset Last Evening.

The cadence of the shofar or rams horn
was heard In the orthodox Hebrew syna-
sogues yesterday, and at sunset the Jewish
new year came to a close. Services were
held at the Adath Israel Hebrew Syna-
gogue, at 9th and G streets northwest, and
py the Russian-Jewish congregation at Odd
Fellows Hall, over which Cantor Reuben
Graffman presided.
A memorable feature of the celebration
yesterday was the annual pilgrimage of
many members OF the Washington Hebrew
congregation to the Jewish cemetery on
the picturesque heights beyond Anacostia,
which overlook Washington from tho
southeast. This ceremony was established
by Rabbi Louis Stern four years ago, and
In many respects corresponds with Me-
mortal day at Arlington. The graves In
the cemetery were prettily decorated. and
Rabbi Abram Simon delivered memorial
address on 'the true way of remembering
the dead" Those who made the solemn
pilgrimage then repeated the 'Kaddish
prayer, reconsecratng their lives to reli-
gious service. In his address Rabbi Simon
said:
Il cannot think nor feel that those who
did SO much for us, and for whom we
mourn, would be satisfied with a simple
prayer. They are dead, and do not need
they are better off. What they would
nave us do in memory of them would be
to live manly and noble lives. There are
several forms of honoring the dead. Some
believe in prayer, some in flowers and
monuments, but the original idea of the
addish, as observed by the Jews. is that
of thanking God for what He has done for
us, and living the life that He would have
us live An upright life is the monument
our departed loved ones would have Is
erect as a tribute to their memory"
A beautiful wreath of roses, contributed
by the children of the Sunday school. was
placed on the grave of Miss Rosa Stern, the
daughter of Rabbi Stern. whose death oc-
Cured one week ago. Miss Stern taught
a class in the school, and was much be-
loved by the children.
