The Sand Dealers Organize. WAR AGAINST “SAND BUMMERS” WHO DON’T PaY Ur. The extensive public and private improve- ments now being carried on in this District has ereated an unusual demand for sand, a large quanty being daily used tor the p of Paving; and this large demand has induced @ number of enterprising men to embark in the business of procuring it. The best qualities are obtained in the Eastern Branch, which is termed by the trade Bladensburg sand. For paving pur- poses. the sand obtained from the river flats ls in greater demand. Large quantities are shoveled Up into scows and fiat boats and tanded at 17th street, from which place constant line of horse carts are passing, conveying it to different parts of the city, wherever wanted. Ye YY & meeting of some fifty of these was called at the above-named wharf, in open air, and organized with Mr. Benedict Hutchins as president, and Jobn Berr: ry secretary. The chairman stated the object of the call to be for mutual protection ot the deal- exs, who, he said, were being fleeced by con- tractors. He did not suppose there was a dealer resent but who had billsowing them by con- Hactors, builders aud plasters. The object ‘ras to make some arrangements by which every one could get his just dues. The names of ail “SAND BI ins’? should be entered in @ black book, so that all the dealers may know them; and it must be agreed upon by all not tosell them load of sand unless they pay up, or make sat ar- Fangements with the association. Permanent organization was then effected With Mr. B. Hutchins as president, and Mr. Jobn Berry as secretary. Mr. Davis moved that each dealer report the names of parties who owe long-standing accounts for sand to the seeretary, whose duty it shall be to keep a list where it may be accessible to all; carric ‘Mr. Henry Lyles moved that a committee of three be appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws; carried, and the chair appointed Messrs. Davis, Lyles and Russell for that duty. Nomerous names of delinquent sand pur- chasers were handed in. THE FOLLOWING DEALERS ined the association :_H. Lyles & Co., D. M. is, W. Ryan, R. Tyler, D.

They allege that the sweeping, as practiced, does not mect the case; that the dust, though not so deep, is finer and more offensive than before the pavement Ras laid; and that the effect of the existing state of things ts to badly damage their goods, and at the same time drive trade and travel from the avenue. Unless it can be conclusively shown that sprinkling destroyes the pavement—which may well be doubted—the request ought to be Cp ed. If it cannot be, then the avenueshould swept every night. a THE GARMAGE GaTuERERs held a meeting yesterday at Union Hall, on Mth street, to con- sult reference to the orders of the Board of Health, which affects their interests by a c! of the districts formerly worked by them.

Mr. Shepherd remarked that he did not desire to have anything to say to Hatton; that he had denounced the Board of Public Works as thieves and robbers on every public and private occa- sion, and it was prima facia evidence of bad faith on his part to come to treat or consult with them, for if he believed them to be thieves he could not, if he assumed to be a gentleman, bold communication with them. Haiton there- upon subsided. Mr. Warren Choate, as the spokesman, then resented the wishes of the club, and Mr. She replied that the Boardof Public Works, the gislative Assembly, the Governor, and 4 fkingmen’s associations could not ri lat e price of labor; that in his opinion it would regulate itself. If the supply was greater than the demand the price wou £° dow: d if the demand was greater than the supp! iy the price would go np; that their labor unions could accomplish very little, as by the system advo- cated the drones and shirks would receive as much the most energetic and industrious Emong them which woald be unjust. He assured the committee, however, that the board would look as vigilantly to the mterests of the laborers as to tl of the tax-payers. They would revise the present srstem on the basis of paying the men in the exact proportion of their value, so far as their merits could be ascertained. ‘The committee expressed themselves entirely satisfied with the proposition advanced by Mr. Shepherd; and rethed. a IMPROVEMENT oP Ast CAPITOL STREET.— A meeting of proper “holders on East Capitol Street was held last evening at “s Hall, Hon.

Before action on this petition, another ‘was presented favoring the adoption of the con- crete pavement. After discussion as to the respective merits of the two pavements, a vote wastaken which resulted in favor of the ma- cadamizing. A committee was then appointed to wait upon the Board of Public Works and express the sentiments of the meeting, and also urge @ change in the plan proposed by the Board which isto have 50 feet in the center parked with a 30 foot roadway on either side and the foot pavements extended to 25 feet. ‘The properiy holders propose to have the park. ing 40 fect in width, with roadways of the same ith, and the foot’ pavements to remain as now 20 feet wide. ——_o—___ Mrs. F.S.
