Some time late in the Spring, or, pos?
sibly, not before early Summer. the
congregation of St. Paul's Episcopal
church will be worshipping in their new
building, which will probably be
erected on Thirty-fourth street, between :
Lafayette and Washington avenues,
though a definite statement of the '?
proposed site has not yet been given to !
the public.
The vestry at its last meeting dis- !
cussed the features of the new struct- ?
ure. and suggested their ideas to the 1
architects who are now at work on the |
p'.ans. which will be submitted at the
next vestry meeting, to be called by the'
lector. Rev. J. Francis Ribble, some1
time before Christmas. The plans ac-:
cepted. bids will be asked for, and the:
work will begin immediately and push- :
eci to completion with as much speed as
the weather will permit.
The building will cost somewhere be- j
'tween ten and fifteen thousand dollars. !
and will be of brick. with a seating'
capacity of about six hundred, or over i
double that of the present church. It. i
will have a frontage of fifty or sixty-j
two feet, but the depth has not yet'
been decided. It will certainly not'be!
less than a hundred feet.
The present building was erected inj
1SS9, and seats between two hundred,
and twenty-five and two hundred and ,
fifty people. The attendance has been.:
loo large for the accommodation, the !
membership of the church having practi?
cally doubled in the rectorship of Rev.
Mr. Ribble, which began March 1st.;
1S9">. Thus it was that it was decided I
to build a new church, the present be- ;
ii.g sold. There was. however, a for-;
inality to be gone through with before ,
the property could irrevocably pass j
from the church, and this was the con- !
sent of the Bishop. The church, when')
it is consecrated is turned over to the';
diocese, and before it can be disposed.,
of it requires the permission of the-;
Bishop. In this case, the Bishop had i
been corsulted, of course, and it was j
known that his permission would be!
duly forthcoming, which it was. ar- j
living Wednesday. \
There are but two Episcopal churchesi
in the county now. St. Paul's, and the-^
little church at Morrison's. In colon-1
ial times, so populous was the county. ?
that there were no less than eight:!
parishes in the county. Warwick was ;
the original one of the eight original.:
shires in lf.34. It became a county and;:
a parish at the same time. It is sup- {
posed that the vicinity of Newport i
News formed Lower Denbigh Parish,
and that a church stood somewhere:
within that space marked by the lim
its of the present city, but its' exact;
location no one knows. All the build?
ings of the church in the county dis?
appeared except the one at Denbigh,
now owned by the Baptists.
At t'.e Spring meeting of the convo?
cation in Norfolk, the condition of War-j
wick was brought up. and it was decid-1
r-d to establish the church in the county j
taken to that effect. Rev. C. J. S. May.?
preached at Green Grove in August of
1:nS0, this beinrr the first sermon by an
Episcopal redo:- under the new order.
He was >--ei.d-d by !'.-v. Henry
Ohesh y, in whose rectorship the firs",
vestr;. ?:.??? elected, ami Warwick wa;
readmitted to the convocation, sending
delegates to the convention that elect?
ed Bishop Randolph.
Rev. Mr. Mayo returned to the county
again in 1SS!. was succeeded by Rev.
W. N. Mead. wher-was succeeded b>
Rev. Mr. Townsend, after whom Rev
Mr. Mayo again took charge, "turning
the parish over to the present rector.

consists of tile following gentlemen:

QUARANTINE OFFICER.
The Fight Is on for the Position. The
Applicants.
The position for quarantine officer
?'or the port of Newport News is grow?
ing rapidly more important and lucra?
tive, and this fact is beinp generally
recognized. It is, therefore, not surpris?
ing that, though the appointment will
not be made by the Governor until next
March, a number of applicants for the
office have already appeared and a
strong light is on for the job.
' So far as is known, there are now
seven candidates in the field, including
the present incumbent. Dr. A. C. Jones,
who has held the position for the last
thirteen years. Dr. S. W. Hobson, who
was. until recently the assistant quar?
antine officer, and Drs. Warriner, Coop?
er, Creasy, Ayler and Jeffrey.
The position is good for two years,
the term of office beginning May 1st.
The fee for each ship is $7.
Dr. Jones has appointed as his assist?
ant in place of Dr. Hobson. Dr. Thomas
M. Taylor, of Richmond, of whom the
Leader of that city, has this to say.
"Dr. Thomas M. Taylor, of this cit;-,
has accepted the position of assistant to
Dr. A. C. Jones, the efficient and faith?
ful quarantine officer of the port or
Ni wport News. Dr. Taylor left this af?
ternoon to commence his new duties
there. He carries with him the best
w"..<hes of a large number of friends in
this city who will watch his success
with Interest.
"Or. 'lay l?r is the son of Dr. Keith
Taylor, and is a young man of fine op?
portunities. He graduated from the
University College of Medicine about
years ago and has been practicing here
since. He tnk.es charge of his new posi?
tion under the most favorable circum?
stances."
The question has been raised here of
the legality of Dr. Taylor's appoint?
ment, it being claimed that the law con?
templates the appointment of a resi?
dent practicing physician. Dr. Jones
declares that he has complied with the
intention of the law, and that Dr. Tay?
lor becomes a residenl physician as soon
as he hangs out his sign in this city.
MISSKD CONNECTION.
Captain Charles D. Sigsbee Had Bad
Luck, and Did Not Catch His Ship.
Considerable surprise was occasioned
at Old Point yesterday when Captain
Charles D. Sigsbee, commanding officer
of the battleship Texas, walked into
the Chamberlin Hotel, having arrived
from New York at 8:30 o'clock over the
N. Y. P. & N. railroad. It was thought
that the gallant captain was aboard
the Texas, now en route to Havana,
but. for some reason, he did not go
with his vessel, and, it is understood,
he was hurrying thither to catch the
cruiser Brooklyn, but the cruiser got
away for Cuba an hour before the cap?
tain arrived, and he found himself
again left.
Cant*In Sicsbee intended leaving New
York in time to Join the Texas before
she sai'cd hut imperative- orders came
for the battleship to leave on high tide
Wednesday morning, and thus the cap?
tain's intentions were checkmated. He
then concluded that he could make it
m time to catch the Brooklyn, which
will reach Havana almost as soon as
the battleship. Here again he found
the fates against him. Just what the
; rogram now is cannot be stated. It
If possible that the gunboat Castine or
the cruiser Resolute may put in here
to take him p.board, or he may return
to Washington and await further or?
ders.

Proceed lng.1 Tomorrow.
The Corporation Court yesterday was
j en Bilged for awhile in the consideration
of several line and interesting points of
law, the discussion resulting from the
argument before Judge T. J. Harham
'im two motions in the case of William
j Hall, the negro who. at the last term of
[the court, was lined $30 and sentenced
!"u three months in jail for abducting a
I negro girl. Willie Bertha Whitehend.
; The motions were, first, that the ver
irtlct be set aside, and. second, that a
new trial be granted. Judge Harham
reserved his decision in 'the case, but
will announce it before the close of the
present term.
The indictment under which Hall was
convicted was drawn in accordance
with section 3713 of the code, the cap
I'Jon of substance of which is as fol?
lows:
"Section .1713?11 legal seizure. etc.,
"f a child, how punished.?If any
person other than the father or
inrtther of a child. illegally seize,
lake, or secrete, a child from the per?
son having lawful charge of such child,
lie shall be confined in the penitentiary
not less than two nor more than live
years, or. in the discretion of tin- jury,
in jail not exceeding one year, ami he
lined not exceeding one thousand dol
Now there is another section of the
code. No. 367S. which provides a pen
pity of not less than three years not
more than ten for the abduction of a fe?
male under the age of sixteen for im?
moral purposes.
There is still another section which
reads thus:
"Section 3637?Kidnapping a child
with intent to extort money, how
punished.?ir any person seize, take
ill' secret :1 child from the per?
son having lawful charge of such
child, with tile intent to extort money,
in- pecuniary benelit, lie shall be con
lined in the penitentiary not less than
three nor more than ten years."
It was these three sections that were
argued, the question arising as to which
Hall should have been indicted upon,
the second one quoted, in particular,
seeming to fit the case closer than the
first.
Mr. J. K. M. Newton, common?
wealth's attorney, appeared, of course,
lor the State, and Messrs. E. E. Monta?
gue, of Hampton, and E. S. Robinson,
of this city, for the prisoner.
FAILED TO SHOW UP.
Yesterday was the date set for the
retrial of Oeorge Elder for grand lar?
ceny. This man was tried at the Sep?
tember term and convicted, his punish?
ment being fixed at one year in the pen?
itentiary. He was awarded a new triai
but when the case was called yesterday.
Mr. Buford. of La wrenceville. Va.
Counsel for the accused, failed to put in
appearance, or to send in an excuse. The
case will go over to the January term
and Mr. Buford will probably be re?
quired to come before the court and
five a satisfactory explanation of his
absence.
The next interesting case that tie
court will take up w ill he tin* injunction
proceedings against the Newport News
and Oid oPint Railway and Electric
Company, to be called in the morning.

Out in. the channel off the coal pier
lies the'big steamer Arabia, of the Ham?

swinging idly at anchor, while coal is
being loaded into her enormous bunk?
ers from lighters at her sides.
The vessel is bound from New Orleans
to Hamburg with a general cargo ami
stopped lure to take on coal. She is
four hundred and twenty-five feet long
and. when she finishes coaling, will
draw twenty-eight feet of water. Her
bunkers are peculiarly constructed, be
Tng on the old fashioned plan, although
the vessel is new. They are loaded at
the side, tr.stead of top, and will accom?
modate six hundred tons of coal an un?
usually large amount for a vessel of her
type.

Col. C. F. Day. one of the largest

i-- formed it will benefit the trade and
will bo no detriment to the producer.

PENSION A P P ROP RI ATI I >N.
Bill Whose Passage Was Once Bitterly
Contested Disposed of Quickly.
(By Telegraph.)
WASHINGTON. Dec. 15.?The House
today surpassed all previous records in
the expedition with which it passed the
pension appropriation bill.
The pension bill, in days gone by, has
been one of the most fruitful themes
of acrimonious partisan debate, hut
lodfV, although carrying $-1.000.000 more
than the act of the current year, it
was passed in twenty minutes without
0 word of criticism. The bill carries
S145.2S3.S30.
Mr. Allen (Dem.), of Mississippi, of
the Appropriations Committee, called
attention to the fact that when he first
c.i me to Congress, fourteen years ago.
the pension appropriation bill invaria?
bly provoked a bloody shirt discussion.
He congratulated the country that
Congress had progressed since then and
there would be no acrimonious discus?
sion on this bill.
ALLEN'S CONGRATULATION.
The country at last had the gratify?
ing information that the pension roll
had reached its maximum. "And I con?
gratulate the country for this," said
Mr. Allen In conclusion, "that, while
one of the most gallant and desperate
soldiers of the Confederacy (himself)
helped to report this bill, the President
? f the United States is down in Dixie
rioing honor to (he Confederate dead.
We all have cause to rejoice." (Laugh
ler and applause.)
The House then entered upon the con?
sideration of the bill to incorporate the
International National Bank. This
project was recommended by the Pan
American Congress in 1889. An ar?
rangement was effected for a vote upon
the passage of the bill at 3 o'clock to?
morrow.
THE BILL'S ADVOCATES.
It was supported today by Messrs.
Brosius (Rep.), Pennsylvania: Lacey
1 Rep.). Iowa, and Walker ( Rep.). Mas?
sachusetts, and opposed by Cox (Dem.),
Tennessee; Jenkins (Rep.). Wisconsin:
Driggs (Dem.). New York, and Bart
lett (Dem.). eGorgia.
The conference report on the bill ex?
tending the marine inspection laws to
failing vessels of 700 tons and over,
and providing for the licensing of sec?
ond and third mates, was adopted.
Thet House at P 5. M. adjourned till
tomorrow.
