This and much more along the
same line, delivered fervidly and
with the rapidity Of a Phillips
Brooks, held the wrapt attention
of the congregation until the close,
when four or five more persons
stood up in acknowledgement Of
their faith in the Savior. DR..
Butler, the pastor, announced that
there were in all thirty.seven con-

ces. There were also two add
tons TO the church at the close Of
the IL o'clock service.
Evangelist Andrews lectured at

Life; It's Present Day Dangers and
Evils" The texts for this dis
course we're from Ephesians 8, %.
%; Genesis 7, 1; Romans s, /;
Malachi 4, 8, read in the order
given. This powerful discourse
deals with the home life; teaching
obedience to children; showing
that the Bible places the response
bility Of the government Of the
home upon the father; arraings
the double standard Of morals for
the sexes, and puts forcibly forth
the plain Biblical injunction to
have children in the home, and to
rear them to the glory Of God and
for his service.
Sunday night Evangelist Martin
preached from John 3, 16: "For
God go loved the world that he
gave his only begotten son, that
whatsoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have everlasting
life" The sermon was especially
addressed to unbelievers, and was
profound and logical.
Evangelist Martin is not strong
believer in propositions to his con-
gregations. He makes but one at
the close Of each service, and this
is that those who believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ make profession
Of their faith by rising to their
feet.
Two services will be held daily
as heretofore and the meeting will
continue through this and next
week.

Cant. Marsh Indicted.

SEATED in the Gazette of that day,
Capt. William Marsh, ofthe Chesapeake
Ray oyster boat Ethel Ruth. No 80,
was indicted in this city yesterday 10
the United States Court on the charge vi
imprisoning William j. Gallagher, a
member of his crew, while engaged IN
oyster Dire dying in the WicOmico river
last fall. 1t was also charged that the
man had been deprived of food. THIS
case, which came up from Richmond, Is
one of the series based upon alleged
cruelties and atrocities among the Bay
oystermen. Capt. Marsh and his friends
deoy the charges and say they will have
little difficulty in disproving them.
Capt. Marsh WAS in court accompanied
by his counsel, States Attorney Q. >.
Towles. Of Reedville, Va, and Mr..
John NJ. johnson, Of this city. As
soon as the indictments we're returned he
gave bond in the sum of 81 900 for his
appearance in court today.
Today the case was removed to Nor
folk and continued until the May term
of the court IN that city and Capt Marsh
entered into bond in the sum Of 81 600
for his appearance at that time. 1t no"
turns out that Gallagher is not an Irish.
man. but claims TO be an Austrian, and
the Austrian Minister at Washington
has interested himself in the case. The
case will probably turn on the question
of peOnage.

Qua mur;er OF G., oree CurtID, VINO as
appeared on the nigh, Of The 2Sd nltimo
and whose uutilated body vas hsbed
from the dock at the foot OF fsye''e

Msyor Paf, who has been working AS
siduously on the case since the BODY was

ing on north Lee street summoned DE-
fore him at the station house. Ihey
were closely questioned, but nothing
tangible concerning the murder could DE
obtained The examination occupied
the greater part Of last night. The
women we're finally dismissed.
There are all sorts of speculation as
to how the unfortunate young man met
his death. Some believe he was decay
ed to the river front where he was muir
dered and robbed aud his remains thrown
overheard. The fact that bis abdomen
had been cut open is, to some, sugges.
tive, as a body in that condition Will
not float Others believe Curtin was
murdered 10 house while asleep, but
this theory is controverted from the fact
that the dead mans shoes had not been
removed.
1t had been reported that On ark Hear
one OF The wha.ves in the northeastern
portion Of the city bore evidences oil
having recently had its interior cleansed,
presumably from blood stains. Lieuten'

and found nothing suspicious within or

The following lie tle issue:
You shall we'll and truly try whether or

fament of he said Frances p. Smoot, deceased,
and IL any part. how much of said paper

The case was then opened by Judge
Merton suggesting that the court W laying
out its guidance for the trial of the case
should state bow far the proponents OF
the viii would be required to go into tes'I'
mony in support of the will. Judge
Norton was Of opinion that it would be
only neces AIRY for the proponents TO pre-
sent prima facie proof of the due exc
cution of the will by the testatrlx, after
which any attack against 1t might be
mace. This motion precipitsted
lengthy colloquy between counsel, our,
ing which many authorities, pro and
con. we're cited, after hearing which
Judge Barley held "that the proponents
of the will should always be ready to
prove whether the person, at the time
of the execution of the will, Was sane or
not. and think that should be proven
in the first instance, together with the
due execution of the will. AID if the Will
is attacked on any other ground, then
the proponents are put on the defensive. "
Court then took recess and at
O'Clock resumed, when the examination
of witnesses was begun.
Mr.. H. K. Field was the first witness.
