WASHINGTON GROVE, August 8. 1901.
The ladies held a farewell service this
morning in the Cottage Bethel, where
prayer has been made each day. Their
leader, Mrs. Robert Cohen, left today for

closed the series of services. The attend
ance was so large as to overflow the cot

The sunrise devotions, led by Mr. Alt
schu, attracted an unusual number to the
sanctuary
Rev. J. H. Marsh of Laytonsville spoke
at 11 a.m. from the tabernacle rostrum on
"Jacob, the fruitful vine, that overrun
the wall." Rev. J. Edwin Amos followed
with an exhortation.
There being no early afternoon service,
the numerous visitors passed the interval
in the cool shade of the Grove, ard gath
ered in force at the ringing of tne taber
nacle bell at 4 p.m.
At the twilight song service Rev. H. E.
R. Reck addressed the young people on
fuller consecration. Th*> night service was
begun by Dr. Naylor, who administered the
ordinance of baptism to two adults.
In response to an appeal by Rev. T. E.
Copes of Gorsuch six penitents knelt at the
altar. The number of strangers at this ser
vice was very large.
The camp will close with the evening ser
vice of Friday, as Elder Naylor has an
Imperative call to leave the Grove Satur

the illness of Dr. M. D. Peck, who, it was
stated, was recovering from his serious ill

the optimistic view of Dr. Peck's condition
Is not Justified by the facts. Dr. Peck, he
states, who was stricken suddenly two
years ago and has suffered ever since from
an affection of the heart, is now conilned
to his bed at the Grove, and his condition
is considered as most serious, "continu

LAIRRL NEWS.
Movement to Place \?me of Mr. Bra
xheara on Republican Ticket.
Special Correspondence of Th? Evening Star.
LAUREL., Md., August 9. 1901.
Information Is received here to the effect
that each delegation to the late republi
can county convention held at Upper Marl
boro' has been asked for affidavits showing
how the delegates voted upon the candi- i
dates for county commissioner. It is ex
pected that when these affidavits have been
received they will show that Mr. Luther i
Brashears, the candidate from the tenth or
Laurel district, received the majority of
the votes In the convention and will most
likely be placed upon the ticket. A promi
nent republican officer holder of the county
Is slated to have made the assertion the
day following the convention that there had
been a mistake made In announcing the
vote, and that Mr. Brashears had received
a majority of the votes and would be
placed upon the ticket, notwithstanding
the fact that the ticket had been mads cut
In full.
This question received a good deal of at
tention at the republican state convention
held in Baltimore Tuesday last, when a
suggestion was made for intervention on
the part of the party leaders to have Mr.
Brashears put upon the county ticket.
John C. Roming, a tenant on the MoDade
farm, located near Savage, a village s jv.;ral
miles from this place, was killed on a
crossing of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road, at Annapolis Junction, Wednesday
night. The unfortunate man had been in
this town on business, and was returning
home when he was struck by train 523,
which passes the Junction about 10 o'clock
p.m., bound for Washington. The crossing
where the accident happened Is a very dan
gerous one. being at the end of a sharp
curve and between a bridge and cut on one
end and the station and other buildings at
the other. The place Is guarded during the
day time, but at night It Is left unprotected.
The buggy in which Mr. Roming was
riding at the time was completely demol
ished. but the horse escaped injury and
was found at Its home with a part of one
shaft and but little of the harness. The
body of the man was found tinder the ten
der horribly mangled. The trunk was al
most cut In two, and one of the arms was
severed from the body. The head was al
most cut In two lengthwise, and the face
was completely turned to the back of the
head. The dead man was about forty-two
years of age, and Is survived by a widow
and two children.
As the result of playing with some blast
ing powder. It is said, Rufus King, a small
boy, Is in a very precarious condition. He,
with several other lads, was piaylng In an
empty house recently, the tenant of which
had but recently moved out, when they dis
covered the powder in a bag. It Is stated
that they saturated the paper with coal
oil and then set a match to the bag. Young
King was badly burned about the face,
shoulders and arms, and had most of the
hair burned off his head.
PROBABLY FOOTPADS.
Young Man and Ladr Friend Accosted
by Strange Men.
Mr. De Witt Hartwell. a clerk In the cen
sus office, and Miss Annie Collett of 1411
Howard avenue, Mount Pleasant, had an
exciting experience with two unknown
men about 11 o'clock last night, a short
distance from the young woman's home.
One of the men struck at Mr. Ha. t well,
who returned the blow and felled the
strange man. A message received at po
lice headquarters by telephone caused Ser
geant Carter to send out Detective Baur
and order out the 8th precinct reserves.
The information telephoned to him was
that a woman had been kidnaped. It was
stated that the woman had bee* taken from
her escort and carried off.
The affair caused considerable excitement
about Mount Pleasant, and some lively
hustling on the part of the detectives and
policemen was the result. It developed
that Mr. Hartwell and Miss Collett were out
strolling, when suddenly a man appeared
from a clump of bushes and made the an
nouncement that he was a watchman at
the Ingleslde apartment house. H? then
struck at Mr. Hartwell and the latter, as
stated, knocked him down. Miss Collett
ran to the Ingleslde for protection.
The second alleged highwayman appeared
when his companion had been Knocked
down, but no further attempt at violence
was made. Two men were arrested on sus
picion. but Mr. Hartwell was unable to
identify them and they were released.
PAY OF SECRETARY
Haj. Twombly's Claim Rejected by
Controller TraoewelL
THE SALARY GOES WITH THE OFFICE
Ruling on Recent Action of Board
of Education.
TEXT OF THE OPINION
The District Commissioners today re
ceived a ruling from Mr. R. J. Tracew'jU,
controller of the treasury. In regard to the
disputed salary question between the pres
ent secretary of the board of education
and the former secretary, both having put
in claim for the July pay. The facts In
this issue between Major H. H. Twombly.
who resigned as secretary July 1 last. and
Walter F. Rodrick. his successor, are quite
well known to the Washington public.
Controller Tracewell declares that tne
present secretary, Mr. Rodrick, Is enti
tled to the July pay and that Major Twom
bly has no grounds whatsoever upon whicn
to base a valid claim.
Controller Tracewell reviews the case at
length. He does not refer in derail, how
ever, to the points raised by Major Twom
bly in a letter to the auditor of the Dis
trict, to the effect that Secretary Rodrick
drew a month's pay on leave of absence
from the government printing office fcr
the month of July, and that if he weie
paid by the board of education he would
be drawing a double salary from the gov
ernment. Major Twombly also raised the
point that the board of education had no
right to revoke his leave of absence by
sending a paper around to be signed by
the members. He held such action could
have been taken only In board session.
Text of the Opinion.
Mr. Tracewell, In his opinion, say3 that
the several communications he has received
bearing on the subject do not affect it in
any particular, evidently referring to the
points named. Mr. Tracewell says:
"I have received by reference from you
of the lid instant a letter addressed to you
by the auditor of the Distriot in which he
recommends that a decision be obtained
from this office under the provisions of sec
tion 8 of the act of July 31, 1804 (28 stat.,
208), on a question growing out of the pay
ment of the salary of the secretary of the
board of education for the month of July,
1901. You request a decision on the ques
tions involved.
"The difficulty in which the auditor finds
himself grows out of the fact that two men
are claiming the salary. He states that the
pay roll of the board of education for the
month of July contains the name of Mr. W.
F Rodrick as secretary of the board, but
that Mr. H. H. Twombly claims to be en
titled thereto. As Congress has made pro
vision for but one secretary of the board
of education, it is clear that both men
could not be secretary of the board at the
same time and be both entitled to the com
pensation of the office.
Quotation From the ?<nw.
"The act of June 6, 1900 (31 stat., 564),
provides:
" 'The Commissioners of the District of
Columbia are hereby authorized to appoint
seven persons ? * ? who shall constitute
a board of education and whose terms of
office shall be seven years, except that the
terms of the persons first appointed shall
terminate as follows: * ? ? The board
shall have complete jurisdiction over all
administrative matters connected with the
public schools of the District of Columbia,
except that all expenditures of public funds
for such school purposes, shall be made and
accounted for as now provided by law un
der the direction and control of the Com
missioners of the District of Colum
bia. ? ? ?
? ??????
" 'The board shall have power to appoint
one superintendent, * * * a secretary
? ? ? and to remove such officers at its
pleasure. * .
"?The foregoing provisions * * * shall
take effect on the first , day of July. 1J00,
and all acts and parts of acts in conflict
herewith are hereby repealed.'
"The same act provides:
*? 'For officers: For seven members of
the board of education at $500 each. ? ? ?
One superintendent * ?? $4,000. ? ? ?
Ana secretary, $1.^0. *
-The act of March 1, 1901 (Id.. 832), ap
proprlates $2,000 for the salary of the sec
retary for the fiscal year ending June 30.
1002. Mr. H. H. Twombly was secretary
of the board of education on June 20, 1901.
At a meeting of the board held on that date
the following action was taken, as shown
by the following extract from the minutes
of the meeting: , . ..
** 'The secretary stated to the board that
he had received a very tempting offer from
a local company, and, as much as he re
gretted to sever his connection with the
schools, he felt it his duty to do so. He
therefore tender-nl his resignation as sec
retary but would arrange to remain with
the board until it was felt that he could
be spared without creating any embarrass
ment to the office and the superintendent.
Gordon mov<?d that the resignation
be accepted, but that the time when It
shall take effect be left open. Adopted.'
The Board Minutes.
"I quote as follows from the minutes of
the board?meeting held June 26, 1901:
?< ?Di\ Kingsman offered the following
resolution, which was adopted by the board:
" 'Resolved, That the board of education
accept the resignation of Major H. H.
j Twombly, the secretary, and thanks him
most heartily for the services rendered by
him to the public schools of the District of
Columbia.
?' 'Dr Kingsman moved that the board
proceed to the election of a secretary, to
succeed Major Twombly. Not agreed to.'
'? 'Meeting held June 29, 1901.
I " *By action of the board at Its last
meeting, the first business in order was
I the presentation of a name for the posi
tion of secretary of the board, by the
committee on ways, means and supplies,
made vacant by the resignation of Mr.
Twombly. General Boynton, chairman of
the committee, presented a report recom
mending Mr. Walter F. Rodrick. and he
was unanimously elected to that position.
" 'General Boynton called the attention
of the board to the fact that the retiring
secretary had been with the board nearly
a year, working a great deal overtime, and
had not had any vacation. He, therefore,
suggested that a leave of absence be grant
ed to him by the board.
" 'Dr. Kingsman moved that a leave or
absence for one month, with pay, from
July 1. be granted the retiring secretary.
Adopted.
" 'Dr. Kingsman moved that the appoint
ment of the new secretary, Mr. W. F. Rod
rick dato from July 1. Adopted.'
"Mr. Rodrick, the newly elected secre
tary, was then presented to the membtn
of the board. On July 1. 1901, Mr. Rod
rick took the oath of office, and has dis
charged the duties of secretary since that
date. In response to my request for a
copy of the commission or appointment of
Mr. Rodrick as secretary of the board, you
Inform me that no written commission or
appointment was given to him. Since, how
ever, I know of no law which requires the
appointment by the board of an officer to
be evidenced by a, separate writing where
his election is shown, as in this oase, by
the minutes of the board, the omission Is
not material.
Roderick Duly Appointed.
"I am of the opinion that Mr. W. F.
Rodrick* was duly appointed secretary of
the board of education, his appointment to
date from July 1, 1901, and that having ac
cepted the appointment and entered upon
his duties he is entitled to the compensa
tion provided by law for that position. The
claim of Mr. Twombly for salary for any
period after the appointment and qualifi
cation of his successor, based upon the
action of the board In granting him *l?ave
of absence with pay' from July 1, is with
out foundation In law, for the reason that
the board had no right to grant such leave
with pay. That he was not secretary of
the board of education when the resolution
to grant leave with pay was adopted seems
beyond question, for aside from the ap
parently unconditional acceptance of his
resignation on June M, which might verjr
well be taken as the date of the termination

Seventh Street and 706 K Street,
of his appointment, the appointment of his
successor clearly vacated his office, and
made a formal acceptance of his resigna
tion unnecessary. After Mr. Rodrlck re
ceived the appointment of secretary of the
board the salary attached to the office was
his, and It was not in the power of the
board to dispose of it by resolution or
otherwise.
"Where an office Is held during pleasure,
the appointment of a successor is the re
moval of the Incumbent. (Throop, Law of
Public Offices, par. 350.)
"Where no particular mode of resignation
is prescribed by law, and where the ap
pointment is not by deed, it may be by
parol. ? * ? * Nor need the acceptance
be in writing. It is enough that the office
be treated as vacant, for instance, by ap
pointing a successor. (Id., 408.)
Salary Goes With Office.
"I am unable to attach the weight
claimed for it to the fact that at the meet
ing held June 29 the board, in adopting a
resolution that the appointment of Mr.
Rodrick date from July 1, failed to say
anything about his pay. When Mr. Rod
rlck was appointed secretary the salary
of the office belonged to him, as an Inci
dent to his office, and It was beyond the
power of the board to control its disposi
tion.
"While this question has been before
me I have received several communications
bearing thereon, all of which have been
carefully considered, but as none of them
affect In any degree the material facts of
the case or the law controlling the sum-*,
It is not necessary to refer to them in de
tail. The disbursing officer of the District
Is authorized to pay Mr. W. P. Rodrlck his
salary for the month of July, 1901, as sec
retary of the board of education."
Major Twoinbly'* Vtevrm.
Major Twombly feels strongly inclined to
take an appeal or bring a legal action on
the decision of Controller Tracewell. In
speaking of the opinion to* a Star reporter
this afternoon he said:
"The decision states that I was not the
secretary of the board when the leave was
granted, whereas I was its secretary, and
was performing my duty in that capacity
when that action was taken. This was on
the 29th of June. Mr. Rodrick did not take
the oath of office until July 1.
"The oontrottfer seems also to have ignor
ed the fact th&t Mp. Rodrlck had received
his pay for the month of July from the
government Rfinting office, although that
point was presented by my letter to the
District officios." q .
Dr.' Gregory'* Case.
The Treasury Department has so far
heard nothing ?of the reported action of the
Windsor. Ontario, authorities in ordering
Dr. Gregory, a special agent of the de
partment, to . leave? town because of his
activity In preventlag women from smug
gling goods across the border to Detroit.
It has long been kpown at the department
that large quantities of goods are annually
smuggled across the border ai this point
by women, who secrete the goods under
their skirts, and reasonable precautions
have been taken to prevent It, but only
with partial success, as to stop it entirely
would Involve searching every person cross
ing the river. It Is doubted, however,
whether Dr. Gregory's case will ever reach
the department, as Dr. Gregory was pre
sumably outside of his Jurisdiction In car
rying his investigations Into the Dominion.
Ex-Mayor Baalts of Baltlaaara Dead.
Ex-Mayor Robert T. Banks of Baltimore

He had been sick but a few days, and his
death was a great shock to his family and
friends. Mr. Banks was seventy-nine years
old.

HAGERSTOWN SEWS GRIST.
Big Apple Crop in the County?Wash
ington Yisitor?.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star,
j HAGERSTOWN, Md., August 8. 1901.
The apple crop of Washington county
gives promise of being: unusually large this
season and of fine quality. The failure pf
this fruit in certain sections of the coun
try has caused commission merchants to
be early in the field to get the surplus here.
One Philadelphia firm has purchased apple
orchards in this section that are expected
to yield 20,000 barrels.
The August term of the circuit court of
this county was the shortest in Its history.
The dockets were called, all appeals con
tinued. Judgments entered In plain and un
contested cases and other cases continued
until the November term. All the business
of the August term was completed In about
one hour. This has started a movement
to do away with the August term entirely,
and to this end a bill may be introduced
into the next legislature.
Rev. Zedd Copp, formerly pastor of the
First Brethren Cnurch of this city, has
left the ministry to engage In the insurance
business in Washington. His former par
ishioners and many friends here are greatly
exercised over the reverend gentleman's
action, for which he has not assigned any
cause.
Another new church edifice, to cost
$25,000, exclusive of the money that may
be expended for memorial windows, or a
pipe organ, is to be built by the Zlon
Lutheran congregation of Waynesboro' on
the site of the present edifice, which Is to
be torn down.

Faith Healers Pelted With Bcga,
The followers of Dowle, the faith healer,
fled through the streets of South Chicago
Wednesday night, pursued by a mob pelt
ing them with decayed eggs and vege
tables. Only by the aid. of a friendly mo
torman of the Calumet electric line were
they able to escape.
The supposed recognition by the crowd
of one of the men as Henry Chrlstensen,
whose wife died without medical attend
ance a few weeks ago of injuries received
In a fire, was the cause of the hostile dem
onstration. The throng remembered the
published accounts of her death-bed suffer
ings, as depicted at the official investiga
tion, and they were in no humor to give
the faith healers a cordial reception when
they attempted to preach their doctrine on
the street corner.
A lire trolley wire broke in Marcy ave
nue. Brooklyn, and the ends fell on a
crowded street car. One boy was killed
outright and tour other passengers were

Capt. Brown Engagrd for Five Honrs
With Insnrgenta.
A dispatch from Manila yesterday says:
Capt. Brown of the 1st United States
Cavalry, with Troops L and M of that reg
iment and a company of the 21st Infantry,
had a Ave hours' fight In Batangas prov
ince yesterday with an insurgent force
oommanded by Malvar. Two cavalrymen
were killed. The insurgents escaped.
The insurgents were in considerable
force and allowed the advance guard to
pass before attacking. Capt. Brown or
dered the cavalry to dismount. The troops

burned a number of quarters. The report

Cattle plague in the provinces of Cama
rlnes, Capiz, Hollo and Pampanga has dec
imated the carabaos, and the planters are
unable to cultivate their crops. Civil Gov
ernor T&ft has authorised the governors of
the affected provinces to open public works
In order to prevent suffering. Carabaos
have also been shipped at the government's
expense and furnished to reliable farmers
on long-term periods.

been In* the United States as an unofficial
representative of the Filipinos, passed
through Chicago yesterday, going to San
Francisco. He will sail from San Fran
cisco August 17 on the Pekin for his native
islands. There he will make an attempt,
he says, to show by petitions and memo
rials that the Filipinos do not wish for
American rule, but favor independence.
Before sailing from San Francisco he will
address a letter on the subject to President
McKlnley, asking co-operation of the army
and civil officers In the Philippines. "It is
not immediate Independence that we ask."
he said, "but we want it as Cuba gets it.
When a stable government has been estab
lished we have no thought of interfering
In any way with the other interests which
j the United States has In the islands, but
I we want to govern ourselves."

Connterfelt Coins In Baltimore.
The Baltimore .American of today says:
Counterfeit ten-cent pieces are circulating
quite freely In certain sections of North
west Baltimore. The coins appear to be
made of a mixture of lead and aluminum,
and those which have appeared so far bear
a 1901 date. The counterfeit is considered
very good, the pieces having a bright ap
pearance and enough of a Jingle when
dropped to fool even experts at first. A
barbershop on North Mount street has re
ceived half a dosen or so of the spurious
pieces within the last few days, and many
of the customers assert that they have been
victimised of late. One man in the neigh
borhood is said to have had a number of
the pieces palmed off on him.

TRAGIC FATE OF MISS SEELYE.
Pound Dead In a Gorge at Ithaea,
New York.
Miss Allegra Eggleston Seelye was found
dead In the edge of Fall Creek gorge at
Ithaca, N. Y., yesterday, and the theory la
that she was killed by lightning. Her body
was hanging by her feet, which were en
tangled in a bunch of roots.

and was noted for proficiency in philosoph
ical studies.
She had been entertaining a house party
and afterward went for a walk. The sup
position is that she met her death In the
manner indicated while seeking shelter
from a storm.
Forests and the Hot Wave.
From the Philadelphia Preas.
While the attention of the entire coun
try has been turned to the overheated re
gions of the west all sorts of sugges
tions have been made as to the reason for
the extent and duration of the great July
hot wavp. Most of these are frivolous
and smack of the quack prophet. One
suggestion, however, that is being pretty
generally taken up, though no less frivol
ous than the others, has acquired a cer
tain dignity by reason of an alleged offi
cial Indorsement on the part of the De
partment of Agriculture. This suggestion
Is the one attributing the severity of our
hot waves to the increase of deforestation
due to advancing civilisation. Aside from
the fact that over a large portion of the
overheated region there are more trees
than ever before, owing to the forestatlon
of areas originally open prairie, the real
truth Is that our great hot waves are duo
not to local causes, but to changes in the
general circulation of the globe, cosmical In
origin and terrestrial in effect. When these
general causes set up hot waves over a
given region the forested areas mitigate
and moderate to a certain extent the ex
tremes of heat possible under the given
general conditions, but neither the charac
ter nor extent of the deforested or unfor
ested areas causes the hot waves.
