Schenck was chosen chair man and J. F. Wollard secret: A general lnterchange of opinions was indulged im, and it nerally agreed that the time had come Tor the removal of the railroad tracks and de- pots from their present localities; that a union depot should be established for all the roads entering Washington at some point near the boundary line of the city, and that all property- owners, especially those whose interests are affected, should use all the means in their power to accomplish their removal and urge early legislation by Congress upon the subject. Mr. Rohrer offered _ resolutions “That the Baltimore and Ohio and the Baltt- more and Potothac Railroad companies, as their tracks and depots are now located, interfere With the Increase of population of the city of ‘Washington, impede the progress of the public improvements inau; mirated ‘and largely com- pleted, reduce, and in many cases almost de- Stroy, the value of property in their vicinity, and are therefore substantial nuisances that Alovld be removed beyond the corporate limits.

The cases now occurring are those who may have become tnfected from the persons having the disease before they were re- ported or came under control of the health au- thorities.

A meeting of the steckholders of the National Fair Grounds Association was held at Associa- tion hall last evening, and there was a large attendance. Mr. W. M.

In cash and the balance in gory and repown, they should be satistied. Phat was about what the government peys, and they should be satisfied with that amount. PROPOSED RESTRICTION OF VOTES VOTED DOWN. ‘The report was then rea@ again Ll ecsatr| and when that in relation to-voting was reach Mr. Frank Hume moved that no — should have more than five votes, an sal that some such amendment would prevent ‘the association becoming a close corporation. Mr. Cochran favored the restriction of votes. Mr. Biaekburn, in the course of some remarks, said a few years ago 30,00 negroes, & Is stated, Soted the taxes on us which we have not, yet ridden of. He did not think ft was fair, men had taken some ten shares of stock, to say to them yeu can’t vote on them. Mr. George Holmes seid it was those ay ohad brought this mischief upon us. Mr. J. zB Wilson said that five votes were enough for any ene man, Mr.-Cochran said that he bad never thought that money was a silbstitute for brains, and thought thet five votes were enough forany one. Mr. Wolf #sked what will prevent the bondbolder transferring his stock to his family, so that all of it could be represented; they would find some way to “whip the devil round the stump.” Mr. Blackburn urged that it would not be square eposiine now to say to those ae over a Se your money, but you cant Sons Mr. J. BE. Wilson saxl that five votes showid satisfy any man. Most of the stockholders had but one vote, and five would be a fair average. Gen. Bacon moved to lay Mr. Humes’ motion on the table; carried, 41 to 27. EXAMINATION OF THE BOOKS. When the seciign providing the books spould be open to inspection of shareholders was read, Mr. in moved to strike out the words “and shareholders,” and urge if they had a board of directors in which they had confidence they sheuld be satisfied. Mr. Wolf said the gentleman was, with others, interested in a company in which the arbitrary action of Gi- rectors was one cause of complaint, and the ob- jection seemed queer, coming from that es ter. Whilethere may be some whe woul tempt to make up -hill work, he was in One of making the institution a democratic one, ready tosatisty the masses. Let it go out that they have notking to conceal. Mr. Blackburn said that he had some little concern for {he poor secretary, and pecently he hed had some expe- rience by acting as secretary for Mr. Dean, and as an instance of the trouble which might ensue, he related that one Sman had called tw enty-six times to examine the books as to one little item. ¥r. Duncanson moved to lay Mr, Dean’s mation on the table; lost. Mr. Dent offered a substi- tute for the motion, providing that it should be competent at any meeting 10 appoint a com- mittee to examine the books, which was accepted. PRIVILEGES. The section relating to privileges to stock- hoiders was amended to read: “That each st holder should have a ticket entitling him to ad- mission with his wife or child.” ‘Phe section relating to the issue of complimentary tiekets— 200 being the number stat was read, and Mr. Dean submitted a list of officiais to whom com- plimentary tickets should be issued—four to each local paper and two to each outside paper who have an office here, and allowing the di- = to issue 2 more tickets in their discre- ton. ‘The report was adopted as a whole, the mo- tion reconsidered and laid on the table, and a vote of thanks to the committee adopted. A NEW POINT RAISED. Gen. Bacon raised the point that the making of such by-laws was under section 4 of the char- ter, the province of the directors, and he offered a resolution that the report be referred to them, with a request that they be adopted. After some discussion a motion of Mr. Edwards to Jay on the table was adopted. IMMEDIATE NEED OF MONEY. Mr. Galt (president) made a statement as to the immediate need of money to complete im- provement #4 24.000 to $5,000 to complete the ulldings and $1,000 to widen the track. If the stock istaken there will be ample funds to do this. He remarked as to the dispute with Wheatley Bros., who have filed a mechanic’s lien for lumber $15,550, that the estimates made by Mr. McGill, the architect, footed up $73,000 and adding extras they calculated on $54,060, but the bills rtin up to $116,000, or $32,000 In excess. At the close of the fair the principal creditors had been invited to a meeting, the status of affairs was made known, and all but the Wheat- ‘y's took notes beyond what they could get in cash. They were paid $5,000—$3,000 more than their proportion—their Dill being over $20,000, He stated that the bill of the Wheatley’s had been“ in the hands of Mr. McGill, and he had already found where it should be reduced 3900, ‘The association did not owe the amount claimed, but they would pay what was due; there was no disposition to evade payment.’ Mr. Samuel Wheatley asserted that his bill was correct; that he had the tickets for every foot of lumber de- livered on the grounds and an audited bill cer- tlfied to by Mr. Cottrell, Mr. Browning and Mr. Dean, and the president of the Fair Ground As- sociation was not satisfied with this, but in- sisted on referring it to the architects. AFTER THE MEETING. The meeting then adjourned, and as the offi- cers were passing out there was something of a scene between Messrs, Wheatley and Gait, the latter asserting that the public would never have known of any unpleasantness had it not been for the directors; that his firm had acted as business men, and had been forced to take the action they had taken to protect themselves, Mr, Galt replied that the firm had acted too hastily, and that as the matter was in the courts they should wait until it was settled there, THE Fire To-p. -About 10 minutes after 12 o'clock to-day an alarm of fire was struck from box 62 (government pees office), a fire hav- ing been discovered In house No. 5 (one of arow of ten houses) on Myrtle street, between I, K, North Capitol and ist streets east, and the fire department responded promptly’ and at once went into service. It is a two-story-and-base- ment brick, and there are no fire is what- ever. A little grandchild of Mr. John Soper was. at the time in the upper story playing with matches, and set some clothing on fire, and the flames m spread to the roof and to the ad- joining houses. The firemen and_ police work manfully, and most of the fur: niture in Mr. Soper’s house and in the adjoining houses was gotten out and the flames were checked after eS under the roofs of a nuraber of the houses in the row. As it was, in addition to No. 5, house No. 3, oc- eupled by Mr. Williams; No. 7, Messrs. Burr Ferrier, and No. 9, by Mr. Cole,were damaged. and Officer O'Hare’s place, No. 11, was slightly The loss on the buildings will proba- about $1,000; on the other and some bly reach, on 5 and 7, houses mentioned stmaller amounts of the occupants will lose considerable by dam- age from water. The houses are owned in Philadelphia, and Messrs. Duvall & Marr are the agents here. It is understood that the buildings insured. ‘The fine school building of the Sisters of the Notre Dame, opposite, was in great danger for a time, as well as other adjoin- ing property, but the’ flames were kept away from them by the aetive exertions of the tire- men. 's Goop Lucx.—In the early part pring a western man applied for a patent in this city, retaining as his attorney a solicitor from Baltimore. U. pon allowance of his patent the attorney was advised by his client that in order to pay him for his services, and the final fee of the office, he would have to sell his horse. The attorney advised an abandonment of the patent rather than the sale of the horse, stating that he regarded the latter as of far greater value to a poor man than the patent. At the same the he pro} to renounce all charges for services rendered if the office fee alone could be raised without the sacrifice. In reply, the inventor stated that he was not an object of charity, although a very man; that he had been maimed while serving in the Union army during the late war, which had prevented him from acctmulating inuch property; that if his attorney would only w: few months for his fee, he (the client) would not be found wanting, either in honesty or gratitude. With 1 letter the office fee was enclosed. ‘The patent was duty issued and remitted with 8 suggestion by the attorney, that if his client ‘n wounded as stated, he was entitled to a peek with back , Which would amount int eee es ut $1,500. To this the patentee rep! edge as he was, he had an honest heart loved his country too dearly to take from it one cent for the wounds he had received while hting in its defefice. Five months later ‘another letter came enclosing $30, with the statement that it was for interest ans for waiting, and that the attorney need fear no further the sale of the horse, for the inventor had now, not only one horse but three teams, also a nice house and lot and a fair income from his patent, which had proved to be one of great value. , In THE LOTTERY MAIL Case of Dauphin agt.

Campbell tated how te had nd enlcorered to point out to the Commis- stoners the great wrong done and maintained that the work should go S odeng rather than to put criminals at work to cheat honest labor out of what was manifestly its right. The report of the committee was adopted. FEMALE LABOR. Mr. Bamititen from the special committee on female labor, made a repos stating that they had come tothe conclusion that they can do nothing in — oe evils without the aid of the press and itizens of the District, and unless they wilt ive their a aid aad _agsistance tt must be abandoned altogether. ‘They could only give a general review of the guatter for the very best reasons.

How can tte public expect these fis to live virtuous lives and support some widowed mother and or- phan sister or brother upon such asalary? They know of girlsemployed in the various mechani- cal departments of the government who make such smaii salaries that they cannet support themselves, and, in many instances, are com- pelled from necessity to resort to immoral habits. #tatistical reporis from Boston show ihat 2,000 for. live in that city,and their parents know not OW, eu never question them. and thet more 500 in the past few years have disapeared oa fete sand have never been heard of by their parefts. Another evil that we look upor as of the most demoralizing nature is the requiring of girls. employed in our hotels to force their way through the lobbies, where all kinds of yulgar gaze and indecent remarks are made adout them, and the effect is they become so hardened and ea that they soon fall into the ways.of the wieked and are lost to'respecta- bility, when, if not exposed to such treatment, would lead virtuous lives. These are a few evils the committee have pointed out, and there is but one way to remedy it, and that for the press te denounce it, and the’ good citizens will aid them in it. A move in thisairection will interest every subscriber of THE STax, and the commit- tee Rope it will give as full a report as they ean + upon this subject.” WRONGS OF FEMALE EMPLOYES. Mr. Hamilton supported his report with re- marks in which he stated that there are dozens of shops and stores in this city where female clerks are required to be constantly on theil feet, never being allowed to sit from 8 o'clock In the morning to 11 o'clock at night. There are other abuses quite as flagrant and common. ‘The evil effects are to be seen on our women in the outeropPing of immoral lives and broken aown healt Some eight or nine years ago the press of New York city and the humane men and women of that city took up this subject; the press denounced the system of overtaxing and underpaying the working girls, and to a very great extent the evils were remedied. The good women of that city had canvassed the Shops and manufacturing establishments, and candidly told the proprietors that they would discontinue patronage and ersuade all their ba aintances to do likewise if they did not relax their selfish grasp upon the very life blood of the working girls. ‘The result was that it became a popular reform, and im- mense and lasting good was done. He related many instances in this city, giving names and particulars, where outrageous wrongs and op- pressions are practiced y; one of ota delicate and refined girl, but poor, who to gain an honest livelihood is now at work for $4 per week, and last week the price of a lamp was deducted from her wages, which she was so unfortunate ag to break. ‘This girl was supporting a mother 160. He thought that of the 17,000 or more sub- scribers to THE Star about 10,600 were Interest- ed directly in the cause’ of workingmen and women, and but few of the read- ers of that valuable paper would refuse to help on a reform so much needed. Mr. McDonald then proceeded to name persons he knew of in his line of business who pay working girls from $1.25 to $3 per week, and the number Of howrs and amount of labor’r quired of them Was outrageous to humanity and reason. He was not backward in mentioning names and circumstances. Mr. Craney instanced cases were sewing girls to fashionable dressmakers get but $3 per week to work on dresses, when the dressmaker receives from $50 to $100 for each dress. Another great evil is the miserabl vate accommodations in some of th and stores which are common to oth sexes. He said it was not expected that the press of this city would publish names of these leeches, and he advocated the Lace of all the facts in pamphlet form for free distribution among our ae ae} and consuming community. Mr. Beron instanced cases of similar wrongs coming within his knowledge. Mr. Hamilton said they did not ex- pect the hewspapers to use names, but a fair apt aten, Ue he thought, would help the condition the workinpg-women in this city amazingly. Kn amendment was adopted to the report re- commending the assembly to “authorize the same committee t6 publish a pamphiet of facts, giving names,” &e.; and the report of the com- mittee was adopted unanimously. THE AN NTA CLAUS, RESOLUTION TADLED. The resolution offered by Beron at a for- mer meeting, respecting the inconsistency of the contract em and the popular supersti- tion connected with the Christmas holidays about Santa Claus and Mr. Beron con- t the same tenor as before, denouncing the ‘rhole Christmas. 1a based upon falsehood and fraud. He ha a his point attacking lying parents of children. The resolution was rurther discussed, Mr. Julian and others saying the Workingmen’s Assembly had made themselves a laughing stock to tne community by entertaining such matters. Mr. Beron said he had never done anything in his life that had given him more satisfaction than the bursting of this Santa Claus bubble which had so long demoralized our youth. They are spoiled with lies and deceit. “What they need is facts alone, and to revere truth for ts own sake. Further discussion followed, and the reso- lutions were laid on the table; all but Mr. Beron yoting in the affirmative. PROPOSED LABOR UNION. Mr. Craney offered a resolution that the Workingmen’s Assembly call a mass meeting of workingmen of this District for the pur; not forming a union for their protection. vocated such a union for the benefit of ail, fen to enlarge the sphere of the agitation on iabor interests; referred.
