It has been stated that negotlatious are now going on for the consolitation of the American Rapid, the Bankers’ and Merchants’ and the Postal Telegraph compantes, constituting one strong company, which will be an effective rival to the Westera Union. A broker in this clty told a Stan reporter to-day that he had heard this rumor, but could not say how true it was. He tought very Ukely that Something of the sort was being con- templated.

To-day is the regular pay day in the Brother- hood of Telegraphers, but as no money had been received from outside sources siuce the strike began, the larger part of the strikers will have to go without this needed assistance. When: the strike began there were seventy-fournames on the ay-Toll of the brotherhood. There are now about forty names left, the rest having been provided for in other ways Many have left the city, while some have obtained other employment. There have been about six men taken back by the Western Union, and the operators flo not know when the company will employ additional men. It 1s thought that at the beginning of the month others will be offered situ- ations, The former strikers who have now ob- tained work are expected to contribute to the support of those sti!l out, and such contributions are very cheerfully given. “I saw one of Zeublin’s gilt-edged men hanging around the office yesterday looking for a job,” sald an operator to a Sar reporter to-day. “Yes,” chimed in another operator with a laugh, “he 1 One of those men who get a job about once in thirteen years, that isas often as there is a strike.” < “As soon as the old men come back,” resumed the frst speaker, “such men as this fellow will be Vounced at on ae eee A MARYLAND POLITICIAN IN TiCURLR.—A tele- gram to the New York Worta trom Elkton.

"It appears that Mr. Knight had gone to the place tenated by Broxon, Where they were picking and shipping, peaches, and ordered them to stop, saying that they were too green and not fit for market. This Drought on a controversy between him aud the Broxons,in which hard words were used on both sides Young Broxon finally applied a most insulting epithet to Mr, Knight, who went to his house, pro- cured his pistol, and returning drew it upon young Broxen, demanding a retraction of the epithet.

DEATH OF SURGEON OWEN AND ILLNESS OF BIS BON. Surgeon A. M. Owen, U. 8. N., who was one of the first to be attacked by yellow fever at the Pen- sacola, Fla., navy yard, dled there at one p. m. yesterday. He was made assistant surgeon in the navy May 20th, 1369. His record since that time had been an excellent oné. He had hosts of friends in and out of the service, who will deeply regret his loss. In 1877 he was ‘stationed at the marine headquarters in this city, and was after- wards sent to the Pensacola navy yard. He was there last summer when thé yellow fever devas- tated the city. He married aniece of Capt. Queen, of the U. 8. navy. He leaves a widow and three children. His little son was stricken with the fever on Monday, and fears are entertained that his case, too, may prove fatal. ‘PWO CASES IN SAILORS’ BOARDING HOUSES. Surgeon General Hamilton, of the marine hos- pital service, last evening recetved a dispatch from Surgeon White, at Pensacola, Fla., stating that two well-developed cases of yellow fever had ‘been discovered tn sallors’ boarding houses at that port. A dispatch was at once forwarded to Sur- geon White directing him to remove the cases to the quarantine hospital at Sansa Rose island, de- stroy the infected bedding, fumigate the prem- ises, and surround them by a guard; also, to take an inventory or the destroyed property ’and for- Ward It to the department.

HONORS SHOWERED UPON OUR SOLDIER BOYS—THE AT THE STOCKTON—THE MOCK TRIAL AN—ODD8 AND ENDS. Special Correspondence of THE EVENING STAR. Conaness Hatt, Care May, N. J., August 224. ‘The last twenty-four hours have been prolific in events that must be recorded in the history of the second encampment of the Light Infantry at Cape May. After several of the boys had been fished out of the water yesterday, narrowly escaping drowning, the majority of the corps took the trip to Sewell’s Point and had a very enjoyable time. The climax of the balls given here at different times in honor of the citizen soldiery of Washing- ton was reached in the garden party given last night by Col. Cake at the Stockton to the Infantry. An immense crowd, entirely fll- ing the large dining-room and the platform on the lawn used for the garden partes, gathered, await- ing the arrival of the Infantry. Hangingjben¢ath the electric lights were festoons of brighit-colored Chinese lanterns, mellowing the= more Inicuse light above, Ihe night way a perfect one, the moon shedding its radiance on the already bri!- Mant scene. The corps entered the vast dining- room, marched and countermarched its entire length, and from there through the porches on to the dancing pavilion, and formed fn the open Space amld applaus* that was almost deafening. Col Moore stepped forward aud addressed Mayor ‘Melvin in a few complimentary words and presen- ted him with a handsome goid-headed cane, in token of the high esteem in which he was held by the corps. Mayor Melvin, although a good deal taken abock, came to time and, thanked the Dat- tallon. ‘The'dancing then began, and was kept up with unflagging energy until the'end of the dance card was reached. During the evening a magnif- cent banquet was served. ‘The reception committee was composed of the following gentlemen: Gen. W. J. Sewell, Capt. C. 8. Magrath, Mayor F.J. Melvin, M. Hall Stanton, Capt. I, N. Burritt, Jolin Keyworth, F. B. Noyes, Dr. Z. 't. Sowers, W. C. McIutire, Wm. 8. Roose, Col. J. E. Tait, Dr. T.0. Hills, Wm.Dickson, James B. Crawford, W.H.

Loomis, master of ceremonies. ‘This morning there was the usual mock trial. A warrant was issued for Capt. Harrison Dingman, of the staff, and was served by some city police men and a detachment of company H.. N. J. N. G. The captain was arrested and conducted before the mayor, where the charge was made against him of selifng Mquor without a leense. The de- fense proved that the arrest was inspired by the mayor of the elty, who feared Dingman’s growing popuiarity. and regarded him as a possible candt- ate for the office of mayor, and the restaurant men, Who claimed that the profuse hospitality Capt Dingman had dispensed liad entirely ruined their business. ‘The fun was uproariou:, but loses its point when put on paper. At last the prisoner was declared guilty, and was turned over to Col. Moore for punishment. A large party, together with the band, went this afternoon on the excursion of the steamer Repub- Me to the Breakwater, A base ball gime was played this morning be- tween the Infantry and Cape May clubs. After the fourth inning the score stood 10 to 1 in favor of the Washingtonians, and the Jerseyltes threw ‘up the sponge In disgust. Capt.
