MATTER DISCUSSED LAST NIGHT—AN ELEC- TRIC DISPLAY SUGGESTED—THE POLICE AR- RANGEMENTS. The committee on {Illumination connected with the October entertainment met last night at the city Post Office, Col. D. B. Ainger in the chair, and sixteen members of the committee present. Before calling the meeting to order an infor- mal eefisegie ‘was held on the r 4 eal cess for the enterprise in hand, and Col. stated that a proposition had been made by air, Saks, of this city, who, with a number of other gentlemen, was organizing an electric lightcom- | Pany, that the illumination committee secure | the lighting apparatus made by the Brush light company for the lighting up of Madison Square, New York City, but against whom an injunctign was laid at the Instance of the gas company*of | that ety. It was represented that it could be brought here and set up at a cost not above #150. It could be placed on the Capitol, and a | similar one on the Treasury department build- ing, and would light up the whole city at a very cheap rate with great brilliancy. The expres- sion was generally made by the committee that the electric light would be a good thing, and probably the cheapest means of illumination. PROCEEDINGS OF THE MEETING. The meeting was then called to order, when Mr. Ainger made a statement that when he was pat upon the committee as chairman he was absent from the city. He was willing to do all he could to make the enterprise a success, but finding that he would have to be absent from town during the time when the most important work would have to be done, he did not think it for the good of the cause that he remain as chairman, and would call for nominations. Mr. Lawrence Gardner moved that Col. Ainger be continued as chairman; carried. Mr. F.W. Pratt | Was elected vice chairman and Mr. Lawrence Gardner secretary. Letters of resignation |were read from J. E. Fitch, Villiam J. Rhees and C. ©. Willard, stating that they could not serve on the committee. The chair stated that he had taken the liberty to write to Prof. Jackson, of Leeann who was engaged to ih the pyrotechnic display at the inauguration of President Garfield, asking to be furnished with a program which would cost $2,000, and another costing $3,000. He had also written to Messrs. Worden & McMahone, of New York, asking a similar faver. The latter have the contract for lighting up the grounds at Coney Island. Other firms had also been con- sulted by him upon the same subject. but there had not been time enough to get a reply. THE ELECTRIC LIGHT. He repeated the proposition made by Mr. Saks, of this city, and recited what this Brush light would do. One of them would light up the space of fourteen squares distinctly, if prop- erly elevated. Pennsylvania avenue could be perfectly lighted upbetween the Capitol and the President's house with these lights. The Brush light company had offered the use of their ma- chinery during the carnival free of cost, if the committee would pay the transportation here and back, and the services of an electrician. The chair then said he had asked for the estimates of these different pyrotecnists, in order to as- certain at once the cheapest and best one to em- ploy, so as to save time. : THE WHOLE Cost | of the demonstration for this city would be about $10,000. The program, as made up, is now un- derstood to _be a military display on the after- noon of the 14th and the tableau display at night on Pennsylvania avenue. The impression seems to be to make no outlay at decorating the city, as such displays need a great deal of light to make an effect. Mr. Gardner spoke of past demonstrations of different kinds in this city, and of the want of police system to Keep the avenue clear. No matter what the occasion, or the de- sirability of success, the avenue would always be overrun with pedestrians, which would al- ways mar, if not destroy, the effect of public demonstrations. He would be glad to see ar- | Tanzements made for once to have the carriage- ways of Pennsylvania avenue kept clear of the crowd, and all confined to the sidewaik, where there is abundance of room for allto behold what is going on. A COMMITTEE ON POLICE ARRANGEMENTS. This subject was discussed pro and con, and on motion of Mr. Gardner, a committee was ap- pointed to confer with Major Brock and see if some measure cannot be devised to secure a clear averme. It was suggested that ropes or wires be stretched along the line of the curb- | stone, from one end of the avenue to the other. The chair appointed Messrs. Gardner, Pratt and Gregory as_the committee. Mr. Parker stated that Mr. Wm. S. Roose, of the finance commit- tee, was engaged in preparing a set of subscrip- tion books for each member of the general com- mittee, and each would be requested to make collections to secure a sum sufficient to boom this enterprise up and assure for it a success | worthy of the occasion.

The grand jury was yesterday in court fresh and healthy from the healing and invigorating in- fluences of seven weeks of rest and recreation, 2nd no reason appeared why the members of that body should not at once address themselves atch of the pressing and important duties before them. At least twenty members of that body were ready and anxious to proceed with the business that the public, with increas- ing uneasiness, insists upon. nopolized the columns of the press and engaged popular attention for months, are unindicted and wilt remain untried and unpunished until the prosecuting machinery of the District ope- rates in harmony with the interests and inclina- tion of the one or two jurors to whom the allure nts of the turf present a stronger at- than the exacting duties of official a WASHINGTON AND THE B. & 0.—New York has had a decidedly good thing for the past month or more, on low rates, and although other Eastern cities have manifested the strong- | est kind of a desire for an equal chance in the way of low rates, they were denied them. Yes- terday, however, the Baltimore & Ohio railroad determined that Washington should have no reason to complain, ordered a lively reduction of rates, nothing less in fact than the rates now prevailing from New York. Instructions were also sent by telegraph to western agents, and low rates are now not only given from Washing- ton to the west, but from the west to Washing- ton. To Chicago and Columbus the rate is $7, to Cincinnati $7 and St. Louis £12. From Chicago the rate is $5, Cincinnati $10 and St. Louis $12. (CABRPETS—CaRPeTs! DRY GOODS—DRY GOODS!

Mr. M. E. Howell called the meeting to order. Com- missioner Marble was chosen to preside, and Mr. P. A. Auer was elected secretary. Mr. Frank B. Conger suggested that committees be ap- pointed to solicit subscriptions from every de- ment and also from the citizens at large. He said he understood that there was a balance of something over 4100 in the treasury of the Michigan club, and he was confident that the members would willingly appropriate that amount to the relief fund. A motion made by Mr. Howell that a committee be appointed, to consist of one from each government depart- ment and three at large, to solicit subscriptions, and that this committee should have the power to increase its membership as the exigencies might demand, was carried. Some discussion was participated in by Capt. Tyler, Messrs. Bar- nard, Baxter and Kev. Jabez Fox as to the proper steps to be taken in the matter of sub- scriptions, and also as to the calling a meeting of the Michigan club. Mr. F. B. Conger, who had Just returned from Michigan, gave a ag ie picture of the terrible waste of property and the loss of life which had been occasioned and the imperative necessity for immediate action for relief. The chair = a pointed the following committee to solicit sul scriptions: Treasury department—Judge E. W. Kightley, Third Auditor; War department—W. D. Mack; Navy department—D. C. Morrison; In- terior department—M. E. N. Howell; Post Office department—A. W. Bingham; State depart- ment—F. B. Conger; Department of Justice—U. J. Barker; at the Capitol—Harry Sherwood; Bureau of Engraving and Printing—Col. 0. H. Trish; Government Printing Office—G. W. How- land; Agricultural Bureau—Col. Murphys at large—R. W. Tyler and J. B. Bliss. Capt. R. W. Tyler was, upon motion of Mr. Howell, aj pointed treasurer of the committee. The chair- man read a letter from Gen. Ellis Spear, inclos- ing $10. A letter was also read from Chas. Bradley, cashier of the National Bank of the Republic, offering to trafismit any draft or money free of charge. The meeting then ad- journed. After the meeting the committee adopted the following appeal to the citizens of Washington: “The counties of Huron, Sanilac and Tuscola, in Michigan, have been devastated by terrible forest fires, causing the loss of nearly five hun- dred human lives, while more than twelve thousand of the survivors are houseless and homeless, without food or clothing. The acteal destitution is greater than that which resulted from the great Chicago fire in 1871. Their homes, barns, mills, stacks, harvests, horses and cattle are swept away. They have no re- sources, no teams, no food and no clothing. The fire-swept lands will yield nothing to sus- tain life until next year’s harvest. These suffer- ing settlers must be subsisted and clothed until neurly one year from this time, and it is es- timated that it will require $1,000,000 to do this. We feel justified in appealing to the prosperous citizens of Washington for aid in this great calamity. We hope that the Commissioners of the District will call a public meeting of citizens to devise means of relief. Cash contributions may be handed to Capt. It. W. Tyler, No. 628 F street northwest, treasurer of the Michigan re- lief committee.” ee THE New O-StReEeT MARKET Hovse has nearly been completed. and the stalls will be sold at auction on the 26th instant in order that the market may be opened onthe Saturday follow- ing. The need of amarket house in this section is greatly felt, and the dealers are anxious to secure a permanent place in which to transact their business. The contract for erecting a plain brick fish market and for cook shops in the rear of the main building was let to Mr. Sinsel. The size is to be 42 by 42 feet inside, which, it is thought, will answer all purposesnecessary. ge AN ALLEGED ADVERTISING SWINDLE.—An al- leged bogus advertising agent, named Royal La Louche, claiming to represent the New York Herald, who was recently shown up in Balti- more, has made his appearance here, soliciting advertisements for the Herald.

Walsh states that injustice was done him in yesterday's STaR in saying that he was intoxicated and caused a stampede in the public schools. He resides next to the school, and went there during the noon recess, he says, to complain of the annoyances to which he was subjected. In the Police Court he was not charged with intoxication, but sim- ply with disturbing the school. Mr. John H. King, agent for the S.P.C.T.A., has a complaint against the police officers at this station. He desired one of the officers yester- day, it is stated by the officers, to assist in im- pounding some dogs which he thought were not ina healthy state and they refused—first, be- cause they considered it out of their line of duty, and second, they thought the dogs were in excellent condition; they were also in the owner's yard. Mr. King says that he did not ask the officers to help him take the dogs, but to arrest the owner. He went to-day to the Police headquarters to prefer charges against the officer. Tue Coat Trape.—Total shipment for the week bythe Cumberland and Pennsylvania rail- road 34,882.10 tons, a decrease of 9,199.07 tons compared with the same period last year, and 7,324.16 tons by the George’s Creek and Cum- berland railroad. Of the first amount 27,374.07 tons were shipped by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad; 3,270.14 tons tothe State Line, and 4,237.69 tons to the Chesapeake and Ohio canal.
