Subject of a Discourse by a AVasli ington Presbyterian Minister. ASYLUMS FOR THEIR BENEFIT Urged'by a Man 110 Had an Experience "With Ilojg, of Homestead. HEX WHO SHOULD XOT HAVE LIBERTY rEFECItl. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPITCK.1 "Washington. P. C., Dec. lo. Dr. "SV. A. BarUctt, pastor of the First Presbyterian Chuich in this city, is a very popular cler gyman, -n ho preaches every Sunday to a larce and distinguished congregation, in cluding Senators Gorman and McMillan, Judge Harlan and other prominent public men. In his sermon Sunday morning the doctor told a crank story, and produced something of a sensation. He wav preaching about the cities of ref uge mentioned in the Bible, where persons who had unintentionally been guilty of a homicide could flee and be safe trom moles tation. Thi- suggested a train of thought in regard to the large number of deaths that resulted from carelessness, more in number by far than was the lesnlt of deliberate in tention. He quoted from the President's message figures which showed that during the year ending June 30.1890,2,450 rail road "employes had been killed and 22,390 had been injured, largelv as the result of carelessness. Deaths Due to the Order or Crnnl.s. The speaker referred to the prevalence of carelessness resulting in a heavy loss of life, and then spoke of the deeds of the class of people known as cranks. Some provision, he thoucht, ought to be made for caring lor such people, and for keeping them where thev could do no harm. He was of the opinion that institutions occuiiving a posi tion midway in the scale ot punishment for crime between a penitentiary and an insane asylum ought to be established for the re ception of people of this kind. He then spote of an experience he had on the previous Sabbath with a man of the crank specie1". Unon the conclusion of the services last Sunday morning, he said, a man came up to him as he stepped from the pulpit and told him that he wished to speak to him. He merely glanced at the man, and seeing other people waiting to speak to him, said to him that he would see him presently. The man. however, lcplied: "I must speak to you at once." Hogg, the Homestead Cr.inb. This remark arrested the dootor's atten tion instantly, and he realized that he stood in the presence of a crank. He looked hastily to see if he carried a dynamite bonib, and then glanced the man over. He saw a man of medium size, with a tuft of hair standing up piominently fronr his head, and features that were rather insigni ficant. The man handed him a card, rather well printed. It contained a name some thing like Maurice John Henry Hogg, and under the name was the word "bricklayer." While the doctor was looking at the card the mau said in a hurried way, "I came here to see the President. I want to see him specially, on a matter of importance. Hut 1 want it to be understood that all these people, whether they be Christians or not, who are following me, have got to stop it. I have stood this thing long enough. There is a band of conspirators, and it must be broken up." The man went on in this strain, and the doctor said he was not long in reaching the conclusion that he stood in the presence not only of a crank but of a homicidal crank. Boss of the Police ot at Cnurcli. He glanced around, thinking that Colonel Moore, the Major of Police, whose seat was near the pulpit, might be at hand and he would turn the man over to him, but Colonel Moore, as it happened, was not at church that day. Then he looked in an other direction, and the man, evidently divining his intention, without saying an other word, darted to a side aisle and pushed his way out of the church as rapidly as possible. Dr. Bartlett, at the close of the narrative, stated to the relief of his hearers that he had seen in the papers a few days later a notice of the arrest of this man who came from Homestead, Pa. for making threats in regard to the President President Har rison does not attend Dr. Bartlett's church, as he is a member of its oflshoot, the Church ot the Covenant.
