ACCIDENTAL DEATH
GEORGE II. HARRIS sUFFoCATED
BY ILLUMINATING GAS.

George HI. Harris who was employed as
specialist in the bureau of entomology of
the Department of Agriculture. was found
dead In room in the Hotel johnson yes
terday morning about $50 o'clock His
death was caused by inhaling Illuminating
gas. and Acting Coroner Glazebrook gave
certificate of accidental death
The deceased was forty-five years old
and had been connected with the bureau of
entomology for a number of years with
headquarters at Calvert, Tex 1t had been
his custom to return to this city once a
year to assist in the preparation of reports
on the boil weevil and other matters of in
terest to the bureau. He reached here
twelve days ago and remained to prepare
his reports before going to Beverly Mass,
to see his wife. He went to his room about
IL O'Clock Saturday night, and nothing
more was seen of him until his dead body
was found on the floor yesterday morning.
The condition of the room caused the act
ing coroner and police to believe that Mr..
Harris had thrown himself across the bed
after removing his coat and vest and had
fallen asleep. 1t is believed that when he
awakened he attempted to light the gas
and accidentally fell upon the floor. The
match had struck against the paper with
sufficient force to leave a mark, and had
then dropped to the floor. The fall had
evidently stunned him and he was unable
to assist himself. Before falling he had
opened the gas fixture and the escaping
gas had asphyxiated him. One of the
porters passed through the hall in front of
his room about o'clock in the morning
but noticed nothing wrong.
John Thorp. the Waterman, detected the
odor of gas later in the morning and noti-
fled the proprietor. The police and acting
coroner were summoned and the body was
removed to the morgue when the investi-
cation had been concluded. Capt. Board
man was notified of the mans death and
he sent n Mrs Harris fer
request was received that the body be
sent to Beverly for interment A local
undertaken took charge of the remains and
prepared them for shipment to the Masa-
chuSettS town.
In the room at the hotel the police found
a number of packages addressed to Mrs.
Harris. They had probably been brought
from Texas by the husband, who intended
to take or shin them to his wife

NOT A CHALLENGE.
Courts View of Maj. Fosters Notice to
Capt. Williams.

Gen. Grant, commanding the department
of Of the east, at New York, has approved
with certain reservations. the acquittal of
Major Charles w. Foster, Artillery Corps.
That officer was tried by court-martial at
Fort Banks, Mass, on the charge of violat-
ing the twenty-sixth article of war. 1t
was specified that he sent a challenge to
Capt James M. Williams, Artillery Corps.
It was alleged that Major Foster, in the
hearing of other officers, said to Capt. VIII
liams:
Capt Williams. youSappear to be looking
for a personal difficulty; if you are, you
can have it at any time, in any manner
you desire. i will fight you with pistols,
swords, fists, or anything else you pre-
fer
The accused entered plea of not guilty
to the specification and the charge. and
the court found him not guilty in both
instances.
In his review of the proceedings of the
court General Grant says:
1.-The evidence adduced by the prosecu-
ton establishes the gist of the averments
of the specification, except as to whether
Major Fosters acts and .utteranceS in fact
constituted a challenge and sending there
of. Clearly, then, the courts finding to the
specification may not be taken as COM
plete negation. That this statement is not
debatable is shown by the accused himse--.
wide his testimony
'It is further shown that Maj Fosters
outburst taken as a challenge by its
object and by others present at the time
HE himself makes point that his utter
ance indicated passive, or, rather, recep-
tive, attitude toward Capt. Williams; and
this opinion the court seems to share, I'M
less, indeed, it's verdict resulted wholly
from sustaining the purther point made by
the defense, that the utterance, if a chal-
lenge, was not the sending thereof. In the
opinion of the reviewing authority, the de-
livery of the utterance by Maj. Foster in
the hearing of Capt. Williams, for whom
it was intended, constituted sending in
the meaning of the twenty-sixth article of
war.
THAT 1t may not have been a challenge
the reviewing authority comedies; he takes
this occasion, however, to express the hope
that Major Foster will in future give n
like benefit of doubt to those who may
Unexpectedly provoke him. as did Captain
Williams in this instance; being receptive
to personal encounter. only when such, as
self-defense is, in reason, in order. Subject
to the foregoing remarks the acquittal IS
approved"

EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY.
Services in Celebration Yesterday at
Grace Lutheran Church.

Grace English Lutheran congregation
yesterday morning, with appropriate serv-
ices celebrated the eighth annivery of the
dedication of it's church at 18th and Cor
Coran streets northwest. The sermon was
preached by Rev. C. B. Gohdes, pastor OF
st. Peters Church of Baltimore, on the
subject "The Manifestation OF the Glory
of Christ in the Disciples Life Rev.
Gohdes said in part:
Divine sonship-such is our exalted sta
ton! Yes! But not without Jesus Christ.
The tendency Of the day is toward Christ
less Christianity. The slogan of divine
fatherhood and a human brotherhood has
found currency in not a few religious cir
cieS. Fine motto, but its realization is
possible only through Christ as the lamb
Of God, which has borne all our sins. From
the apostolic age there comes to us the
melancholy plant of the apostle: He came
not. But as many as received Him, to
them gave He power to become the sons
of God who are born not of blood nor of
the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man,
but of God
while Christ mediates divine sonship, we
stand indebted to the church for presenting
to us Jesus Christ in His power to save.
Your church may not have impressed 1t
self upon the fashion of the city, bus she
has been faithful to her trust. While. the
side of a skeptical new theology has swell
ed ana swept 10 the very affairs OF The
churches, this church and pulpit has known
nothing but Christ and Him crucified, has
presented the old gospel of Jesus, Son of
God and Son, of Mary, of grace, of re-
demption, of regeneration, of holiness, of
sacrifice, of divine sonship now in probi-
ton, hereafter in infinite glory. Whoever
has realized this will express what he has
found in his church by self-sacrificing 10y
atty to her as his spiritual mother"
Special music, appropriate to the occa-
sion, was furnished by the choir. The treas
urer read his annual report of the finances
of the church. which showed that 81, S34 80
was paid into the treasury during the year
ended December 81, 1904, this sum having
been raised entirely by voluntary contri5u-
lions of the members Of the church. In
addition to this amount, $4,000 was receiv-
ed at the anniversary services yesterday,
to be paid on the debt Of the church. This
latter sum was contributed by the MEM
bers of the congregation, the Sunday school
and the ladies' and young ladies' societies.
The announcement by the pastor, Rev. J..
E a. Doermann, that, after consultation
with the vestry and other members Of the
congregation he had concluded not to ac-
cept the call which he had received to the
dictatorship of the teachers seminary at
Woodville, Ohio, was received gratefully, as
the members of Grace Church are glad to
retain the services of their pastor, who
has Iabored among them for twelve years.
Grace Lutheran congregation was for
mally organized in 1876, and worshiped In
a small chapel up to the time when the
present church edifice was built. The pres
ent structure was dedicated in 1897.

Protest Against Pa1simoniousness.

Chairman Babcock of sthe District COM
mittee of the House HAS received. letter
from Frank J. Metcalf, secretary of the
Brightwood Park Citizens Association. in
closing copy of an adopted resolution,
couched in the following vigorous language:
Resolved, That the iBrghtwood Park
Citizens Association sleplores the attitude
of Congress on the matter of appropriations
for this District, believing that the parsi-
moniousness employed in appropriating
money for necessary current expenses Is
due to an unwarrantable policy of saddling
on the present generation the burdens which
should. in part at least, be borne by those
of the future, who will reap the greater
benefit therefrom.n
