Most of the mechanics engaged in building during the season have done well—better than was anticipated at the commencement of the season, and most of them belong now to organ- ized bodies. In the early part of the season the wages paid were low—in fact, the mechanic was scarcely above the ordinary laborer in the amount of pay received, but gradually during the season the wages were advan These advanced rates, though considerably above those received in the spring, are not, it is stated, up to thoge received in New York, Philadelphia. | Chicago and some of the western cities, and in some of the southern states where business has | taken a jump larger rates are paid. These higher rates at other places took away from the city early in the season some of our young | mechanics who were anxious to tter their condition and at the same time see the world, and it is estimated that the plasterers and bricklayers lost about 20 per cent by this cause, and other trades from 5 to 15 | percent. The carpenters commenced the sea- son with wages ranging from $1.25 to $1.75, and HEMPLER says the © izht is easily ruined. Oxtx To-morrow you can buy at R.

An attempt was made last night by some thieves to enterthe stable of Mr. A. M. Clapp. 927 G street northwest, by forcing the door open, but the thieves were frichtened off. Offi- cers Smith and Hill carefully examined the place and found nothing had been removed, and the door was properly secured. The overloading of the Herdic coaches (usually drawn by one horse) west of the President's | house has become a matter of common remark by the residents of that part of the city.

W. N. Sire Rev. E. Wil- liams pre iz, Wi Z| . Curtis secretary. Among the delezates present from the several States were Rey. D. Jon E. H. Tevis and Kentucky; Rev. J. A.

S , W. H. Jordan and s to the Grand Lodge . and Georgiana Taylor, J. Watkins and Kendall Taylor, of the nd Lodge Of Massachusetts. During t! ‘itting much im— 5 Alper business was transacted for the good of he order and for the eclored population in the states represented by the delegates, after which officers were elected for the ensuing two years as follows: John H. Williams, of Jersey, G. Sire; Mary J. Berry, of Philadelphia, associ: W. H.

The pavers started at €1.25 and are now re- ceiving $2.50 per day. The carpenters, plaster- ers, bricklayers and some other of the trades are organized, and there is at present a disposition on the part of some other mechanic branches to | organize, and not unlikely in the course ofa few | weeks the old Workingmen’s Assembly or Union will be revived. The tailors have not been very | prosperous this season, and the bill of prices has not been rigidly adhered to, but ina few weeks there will be an attempt to enforce it. It is | stated that there are some in this city who can scarcely make $12 per week now, working 12 to 14 hours per day. A meeting’ will be held on Saturday night. Itis claimed that an assembly composed of conservative men can do much for the cause of labor, and that through such such organizations | information as to the condition of trades can be | obtained and made known, andthe workingmen through this information can so act that skilled jabor shall not be a drug in the market. The October Celebration. MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE—A NEW CHAIRMAN FOR THE FINANCE COMMITTEE— TALKING OVER PLANS FOR THE ENTERTAIN- ME: The executive committee on the October cele- | bration, composed ofthe chairmen of the varous | sub-committees, met last evening at the city | post office, Commissioner Dent in the chair, and Maj. M. M. Parker secretary. Mr. W. 8. Roose tendered his resignation as chairman of the finance committee on account of intended ab- sence from the city. The resignation was ac- | cepted. Col. Webster reported from the mili- tery committee that they had adopted a resolu- tion asking an appropriation of $1,500. The organizations here determined not to go to Yorktown, as their services would be needed in receiving the visiting military. This would en--| | tail some expense for music and entertainment. Mr. S. Cross was, after being communicated with by telephone, appointed chairman of the finance committee. THE STREET DISPLAY. Mr. Dickson reported from the committee on procession that he would have an interview with Mr. DeLeon to-day as to securing some of the paraphernalia from Baltimore to use, and he had also telegraphed to New Orleans to ascertain the | cost of costumes. If the committee could be assured encouragement there would be a very imposing demonstration gotten up. Adams’ Express company had tendered thirteen teams to haul the floats. (Mr. Stephenson.—“And I will furnish an equal number, if neces es From the outlook not more than $10,000 would be required. REDUCED FARES. Mr. Stephenson reported that the railroads would reduce their fares to one-half the usual rate, and the Baltimore and Ohio and Baltimore and Potomac would bring what freight is needed ree. Mr. Childs announced that the committee on printing would be ready at the next meeting to submit estimates as to cost and style of post- ers, &¢. A NEW THING IN MUSIC. Dr. Kimball, of the committee on music, said he had no definite information, but it had been | suggested to try a plannot heretofore attempted | in regulating the band music, viz: Post bands on side streets leading off the Avenue, three or four squares apart, and they would not interfere with the marching of the troops; also, to put two bands at reviewing stands and not allow march- | ing bands to play within two squares of them. | If it became ne to send away from Wash- ington for bands, a first-class one could not be brought here under 800 and $1,000. Hebelonged | toa musical association, and would appealtotheir local pride to get music as cheap as possible. He had done nothing in regard to a grand chorus at the Capitol, as he had decided to wait till Secretary Blaine returned. It was probable that this same chorus would go to Yorktown. THE ILLUMINATION. Col. Ainger, from the illumination committee, roported that he had written to parties in New York and Philadelphia for estimates of the fire- work display and to the Brush Electric Light | Company. Mr. Saks had instructions to say that | the company would send paraphernalia and ma- terial of the tower proposed to be constructed in Madison square, New York. In addition the electrician at the Capitol had tendered three4 lights often thousand candle power each, and | Mr. L. Moxley had offered tolend the committee | a large star which had been used at the Phila- delphia centennial for illuminating purposes. In | reply to a question as to the line of march pro- posed, the chair said that he inferred from his | interview with Secretary Blaine that the foreign guests would be escorted from the Arlington Hotel, by way of Pennsylvania avenue, to the Capitol, ‘where the reception in their honor would be held. A committee, consisting of Messrs. Dickson, Stevenson and Cross, was ap- pointed to wait upon the Secretary of State and solicit a portion of the appropriation at his dis- posal to be used in entertaining the foreign vis- itors, after which the meeting adjourned. ——_»__—__ The Capacity of a Circular Cistern, To the Editor of Tae Evexrxa Stan: Iread the letter from C. L. Freeman, giving the number of gallons falling on a roof or the capacity of a square cistern, to flush closets, &c. Ex-Minister Christiancy Robbed. HIS ROOM BROKEN OPEN AND $6,000 worTH OF DIAMONDS AND JEWELRY STOLEN. This morning, between 8 and 8:30 o'clock, the room of ex-Minister Isaac P. Christiancy at the National Hotel was entered while the occupant was at breakfast and a box containing valuable diamonds and jewelry worth about $€6,000, which had been received but a few days ago from Peru, was broken open and the contents carried away. Mr. Christiancy was absent not above twenty minutes from the room, and when he returned the valuables were gone and the box thrown under his bed. A jimmy was found in his room with which the thieves entered. The rifled box contained articles which had been en- trusted to Mr. C. for safe keeping while minister at Peru, and for which he is responsi- ble. They embrace a great variety of articles, some of them not of much value, but there is a long list of them. Mr. C. with his lawyer, Mr. Ingersoll, reported the case to Police headquarters and left the jimmy at that office. Detective McElfresh has the case and thinks the package has been followed here from New York by some one, and the first oppor- tunity ‘aken to secure the articles during Mr. Christiancy’s absence at breakfast. The room was securely locked by one of the large old-fash- ioned 'ocks, and there are no marks of it hay- ing been tampered with. It was probably un- locked by a false key. ‘THE DIAMONDS AND JEWELRY consisted of pins, necklace, &c., and were the property of an American Jacy who had married a Peruvian, who, during the war with Chili, claimed the protection of the United States, and having lost the bulk of her fortune entrusted the jewelry to Mr. Christiancy’s keeping to bring to this country. On his arrival in New York Mr. C. insisted on leavi them with the custom house officials until it could be determined whether he should pay duty or not, anda few days ago receiving information that the Treas- ury department had decided that it was unne- cessary to pay duty, he went to New York and recovered them, returning here on Wednesday evening. Some of his friends advised him to lace them in some safe deposit company or king institutions, and it is probable that Mr. C. would have done so in a few days. FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE ROBBERY. This morning, about 8 o'clock, Mr. Christi- ancy, who occupied room 29, af the National Hotel (the room so long occupied by the late Judge Clifford) went to breakfast, carefully lock- ing the door. The jewels were in the leather bag—making a package 12 inches long and 8 inches wide and deep—and were left on the bureau or dressing case, and there were in the room some other articles of value. After an absence of 20 minutes Mr. C. returned and found the door was unlocked, and entering was aston- ished to find that during his absence a burglar had been at work. An alarm was at once given and Mr. Ingersoll (of Mr. C.’s counsel in the divorce case) was among others early in the Toom. The case was found to have been opened with a ‘immy” and the drawers taken out and emptied of the jewels andthen thrown under the |. The “jimmy” itself (a small instrament of fine steel) was near them, as also some pieces of [pet from the sets, but all the stones had been taken. THE POLICE were at once informed and set at work. It is thought to have been the work of some New York burglar who knew of the jewels having been left at the custom house, and followed Mr. C. here when he took them out of bond. ee District Government Affairs, The Commissioners have approved a recom- mendation of the school board for renting the property on O street, between 4th and 5th north- west, for school purposes, at a rental of $600 per annum. Bids were opened yesterday for supplying the police with 200 winter uniforms and 220 hats. The award will not be made for a few days. The Commissioners have given permission to Carroll Institute to have twenty-five of the old core Orr eehool desks to be used fora free night school. The health officer has requested the physicians to the poor in all cases where patients or pre- scriptions are sent to the Central Free Dispen- sary to furnish a certificate as to the worthiness of the recipient. This is asked in order that frand and imposition may be prevented and only worthy objects of charity receive assist- ance. ——— MarRIaGE Licenses have been issued to W. A. Chase and Mary E.

He is still very weak, and as this wenkness is due to the condi- tion of the blood, while it cogginues grave anx- iety must also continue: MacVeacu.” What “Septic” Means, DR. BOYNTON EXPLAINS THE TERM—THE LUNG TROUBLE IMPROVING. Dr. coy in an interview yesterday after- noon said he understood that the word septic indicated an impure condition of the blood, or blood poisoning. In regard to how long it will take the President to eliminate the blood poison- ing, the doctor said that no estimate could be made on that subject. It would depend on how fast the patient made blood. Dr. Boynton said he did not know how large theabscess supposed to have formed on the President'slung was, and that there was no way by which it could be as- certained. Two or more small abscesses may have formed. The lung trouble, he thought, had been improving ever since the patient left Washington. ——————-o-____. Sporting Matters, EQUINE EXPLOITS AT BEACON PARK.
