When (he Brotherhood of St. Andrew ad
journed their ninth -annual convention here
lost jearjt. was Redded that Louisville,
Ky , should be the nest'plnceofmectlns, and
the people of Kentucky's metropolis are now
busy making preparations for the coming
of the religious host -which will Invade their
ilty next Wednesday.'
From present indications the coming con
vention will be the largest In point of num
bers in the history of the brotherhood From
the west especially large delegations are
cxpectcd,r'wtiile-the East can be relied on
to (.end Its usual large quota. The delegates
In this ity have' not been Idle, and preparations-
ere commenced some time ago.
About fifty delegates, representing twen
tjTflve local" UTaptTnS, will lca,c here to
night on the Chesapeake. & Ohio Railroad,
and expect to arrhe In LouisWHe the next
day. At Alexandria the delegation will be
re-enforced by the addition of thedelcgates
from tbat city, who will for the first time
separate as a council from the Washington
organization.
IN A SPECIAL. CAK.
Mr. John F. Parct, as chairman of the
committee on transportation, has secured
a special car for the Washington and Alex-
.andria dc(egates, and every possible com
fort win oe arrorueu mem.
In accordance with what Is now an es
tabllchcd custom, delegates to the conven
tion will provide for their own entertain
ment. Most of the Washington delegates
will stop at the Gait UotibC, which has
lieeu cclecteil as hea'dquartcrs for the vis
ltors.
It Is thought that quite a fight will be
made at Loulsillle by seeral cities to
ecu re the next conention of the Brother
hood. Pittsburg wants It, and strongly
urged her claims at the last convention in
this city. Buffalo, X. Y, is also desirous
of entertaining the next national conven
tion of the order, and It will not lie the
fault of her churchmen if, In 1896, the
Brotherhood does not meet on the shores of
Lake Erie Ihcir invitation Is. ready,
jnd Is hackedbythelnltationof the Church
men's Club and the resolution of the State
vouvention of the Brotherhood in New
Tork. New York, tit) is Jlso said to be
quietly getting iuto line, so, altogether,
the contest forentertalnlng the Brotherhood
of St. Andrew In 189G bids fair to be a
ilvcb one'

Answer to j the Cnartres.
DEATH HATE NOT HIGH.
Hot TYeiitlicr Has Fortunately Not
CniiKc-d n IncrenKO.
There has been a diminution rather than
an Increase In the death rate for the period
embraced within the hot spell
The total number of deaths reported for
last week was seventy, while for Hie last
preceding week the aggregate was one
hundred and fifteen.
The Health. Officer does not anticipate
a very great difference In the rate until
possible results of the hot wa-.e are mani
fested. The coming of the promlsccfcpol
weather nia prevent an increased death
rate.

Bluze In a Cur rinse Shop.
An overheated chimney In the carriage
factory of John McDermott A Brother, at
No. 310 rennslvanla avenue, was the
cause of a small fire this morning. An
alarm was sent in, engines 2, 3, 4, and

were extinguished with little loss, the
only damage being u large hole in the

A. dozen 'alleged offenders who have
been indicted wera-arraigned before Judge,

James Clark was one ot the first called
upon to plead. Clark is a small man, well
known In police circles. About four years
ago lie made a daring escape frum the
bailiffs at the City Hall and u. month later
..was captured, in the Virginia mountains.
Clark's specialty is stealing from the
person, and he is wild to be one of the
smoothest pickpockets Huthc East. That
was the charge upon which he was ar
raigned to-day. '
After reading the Indictment, Clerk
Smith pnt the usual question. "Are you
guilty or not guilty?''
"I'm guilty, sir," said Clark.
"Six years at Albany," said Judge Cole
after a minute's reflection;
"I made a mistake," quickly interposed
Clark, when he tav, he was getting the
maximum. sentence "I meant. J was not
guilty."
Amid the merriment of the bystanders,
the court revoked tbe rciitencu and re
manded the prisoner for trial
George Thurston and Edward Walker,
two boys, pleaded guilty to larccnv from
the person The former w as held for c cc.
tence, and tbe latter Eenf to the reform

DUTIES OF DETECTIVES.
I'roetor Otoe Susrj;e.tions Are Tuz
zllng the Police Official.
The exoneration of Detective Froctor
by the Commissioners, as announced In the
Sundjy Times, was based upon the grounds
that In the case pnrsued in the Proctor
case tho officer was acting under the or
ders of Lieut. HoUlnberger and in ac
cordance with tho manual and tbat he was
strictly within tbe line ot bis duty as an of
ficer detailed to perform detective doty.
Thli decision Is accompanied by a sugges
tion that the manual be "so amended as to
forbid the use of the detecthe force .ex
cept for tho detection and prevention of
crime." It has been suggested that as
lolatIon of the Edmunds law, with which
Maxwell was charged, must necessarily
be ekissed as "crime," it will be Eome
what difficult to amend the law without
discriminating as to the character of
crime that It Is Intended detctthes shall
Investigate.
Major Moore was asked this morning ns
to the changes likely to be made, to reach
the deiired end, and he said the matter
bad not been yet referred to him. The
amendment, however, was something that
would have to be thought out. He could
not designate the lines In which it was
desired to change the manual.
The Commissioners say they have not yet
taken np the subject, but from what was
said It is inferred that their Intention
Is to prohibit the detectives from having
anthin,r to do with misdemeanors.
In other words, that their duties shall be
confined to the "detection and prevention"
of crimes of greater gravity than that in
which Proctor was employed.
