The workingmen’s organizations in the Dis trict joined last night in a torch-light procession and subsequently held @ mass meeting at the Xational Rifles’ armory, The demonstration which was made at this time on account of the meeting here of the Feberation of Labor unions was very creditable and interesting. To some eee the wind interfered with the transpar- enc! The Procession. The line was formed in front of the court house, under the marshalship of Mr. John Fal- Jon, of the tatlors’ assembly, and about 74 o'clock proceeded over the following route to the National isifier’ ‘armory, where the Tass meeting was held: Down 4%, street to Pennsyl- nia avenue, to 9th street, to 15th si reet, to Pennsylvanta avenue, to 10th street, to G stree tothe hall. The line was headed by Pistorio’ band and the Federation of Trades, numbering about 150 delegates und bearing @ handsome banner. Then came the tinners’ assembly, 2070, with many transparencies, mostly iné scribed with the names of boycoited firins oF employers: then the carriage-inakers’ assembly 3412, Typographical union No. 101, with about 500 men in line, headed by Donch’s band And several transparencies; the bookbinders* union, with over 300 men: the painters’ assem’ bly No. 1798, with over 350 men, headea by a section of the marine band.

Georgetown, with 40 men in line, ‘THE TRANSPARENCIES, The features of the parade were the inscrip- tions upon the transparencies, and generally the mottoes met with the approvalof the dense crowds who filled the streets and avenues. Among the notable inscriptions were the fol- lowing: “Equal pay and equal work for both sexes, and no convict contract labor.” “Strike asa last resort only. ‘The boycott the work- Mans’ wegpon; we will use it when necessary.” “Labora Omnia Vincet.” “We help those who help us.” “Note the difference and join u: (flanked by figures of a well dressed man and aseedy one), “Education, organization aud the ballot the only effective means to right the wronj of labor.” “Govermental ¢o-operation in railroads, telegraphs and mines.” viet or contract labor on public works.” “Eight hours for labor; less work for some and more work for all.” “Arbitration all the time.” “Fair day's wages, fair day's work.” “More legisla- tion for labor.” “The bondholders’ dollar—105 cents (silver).

The large hali of the Nationa! Rifles’ armory ‘Was not capable of accommodating the throngs that pressed for admission, and a large number were compelled to leave without being able to get inside the hall, ‘The audience was not only a large one, but representative of the intelll- gence of the working classes of the city. ‘The addresses were logical and clear presentations ofthe topics which interest the working classes. The speakers from abroad spoke ot the condi- tion and the hopes and aims of the working- men whom they represented, and those from the District reviewed the progress that had been made and the victories which had been achieved. Organization, complete and thor ough, was tue key-note of all the speakers. ‘The charge some times heard that labor organiza ons were communistic and revolutionary was repelled with indignation, and the assertion that the workingmen were American citizens, loyal to the flag, obedient to the law, and con- Servative of the public peace, was mude by all the speakers, and received tne entuusiustic indorsemeat of the audience. After selections from the band, Mr. Thomas S. Denham, {roi the committee on arrangements culied ti meeting to order and announced Mr. E. W. Oyster, us chairman, und J, F. Billingsby, secre: ‘MR. OYSTER'S ADDRESS. Mr. Oyster, in taking the chair, made a brief speech, in which he said that the Federation of Labor of this District,ot which he was presi- dent, was composed of fifteen organized trades, representing directly 15,000 workingmen, au judirectly twenty of twenty-five thousand’ peo- ple. Owing to the presence here of the dele- gules attending the congress of labor, now in session in this city, there was represented in this meeting some 300,000 workiugmen in ali purts of the country, aud they had the sympa- thy and moral support of several millions more, He said that labor organizations had been de- nounced from the heneb in this elty by a gen- tieman who supposed that he knew ail about them. “The time will come,” he said from the beuch, “when the peopie of this country will employ their labor without the intervention of lubor “organizations, ‘These infernal trades unionsure agreat nuisance, and the sooner that we get rid of them the betier.” Thexe remarks, which Mr, Oyster read frum a newspaper slip, were greeted by the xudience with hisses ans cries vi “Judge Snell!” It 1s true, continued the speuker, that this judge afterwards amended or rather tried to erawi out by praising the work- ingmen ot the District over the heads ot the Chi- cayo workingmen, who had passed some reso- Tudons which seemed to strike his tancy; but his reflections are remembered. A great man; people have the impression gained in just sucl & way Ubat the workingmen are communists and opposed to all law. On the contrary, it 1s always imposed upon the minds of working- men that they should accomplish their pur- poses by peaceiul means and in accordance with jaw. ‘the genuine labor unionist does not be- Hieve that ail property is robbery or any such nonsense. i, ‘MR. SAMUEL GOMPERS’ ADDRESS. ‘The next speaker was Mr. Samuel Gompers, of New York city, representing the Interna- tional Cigar Makers’ union, who said that all charges that the labor unions were oppose: Taw und composed of violators of law found a effectual unswer in Just such a meeting us this, where an assemblage of intelligent, thoughtful nien came together to consider questions of im- tance to themselves, ‘The speaker then re- rred to the eight-hour movement, and said that the condition of labor throughout the world evinced the fact that the longer the hours of la- bor the less pay was recelved. When a man worked fourteen and sixteen hours ® day he Was incapable of deiending his rights. He was ‘tired and besides he had no time, undeveloped, and he became a mere machino, Fewer hours of labor, if wages were less, would result in great advantage tothe Classes, In referring to the recent Chinese bles in the west, the commending ‘out there trou- er sald that while Bot adopted work- tthe Chinese, yet all fall upon them, He who “Violated the law inging the Chinese intothiscountry should share In the penalties of the recent outbreak. ‘The chairman then appointed the following Sent Donat, W.

The American Association Restrained from Expelling Them. ARGUMENTS IN THE CASK YESTERDAY —A LEGAL FIGHT EXPECTED. Common pleas court No, 4, in Philadelphia, was filled yesterday morning with base ball magnates, who had assembled to hear the argu- ment upon the preliminary injunction secured by Erastus Wimun, restraining the representa- tives of the American association from declar- ing the Metropolitan club’s franchise forielted. Mr. Rothermel, for the defense, said that he thought the court would dismiss the case upon the showitig made by the complainant's bill. He went on to show that the association was not a corporation nor a copartnership, but simply an agreement entered into by a number of gentle- men to play ball. He sald further that the other seven ‘clubs did not want to play base ball with the Metropolitans any longer and that the Metropolitans wanted to compel them todoso, He further stated that the constitu- tion of the American association provided, in plain terms, that it had a right to declare the ranchise of any of its members forfeited at its pleasure upon @ three-fourths vote. The sub- stance of the whole matter was that the Metro- politan clab wanted toforce itself upon the as- sociation, who did not want them in the ranks any longer, and compel the other seven clubs to play with them. ‘This they would refuse to do under uny cireumstances, and the court gould not enforce an order requiring the de- fendunts to play ball with the complainants. Mr. Cooper, for the prosecution, said Mr, Wiman had ‘already spent $100,000 in the matter. He argued that from the repeated use of the words “annually” and “year to year" in various places in the constitution, it was evi- dent that the association was a ‘continuing one. Mr. Rawle, also for the prosecution, argued that the Metropolitan club was a mem: ber of the association, and that its membership was valuable, because it entitled It to the profits of the games played with the other clubs. It | had been disfranchised aud expelied at a speclai meeting without charges, notice or trial. Judize Thayer suggested that, even It the con plainants were successiul in the present case, the defendants might dissoive the present as- | sociation and form a new association, leaving them out. Mr. Rothermel said this’ was ex- actly what he hud adivsed them todo, and that the whole matter was a tempest in & tea- pol JUDGE THAYER'S OPINION. After ashort consultation Judge Thayer an- nouneed as the opinionof thecourt that a prima facie case had been made out. Thevaluable rights of membership of the association cannot be taken away except for cause, The present pro- ceedings might be rendered migatory by a dis- bandment of the association, but with that matter the court had nothing todo, “We do not think,” he suid, “that an action of law would be an adequate remedy in this ease. ‘The difficulty in fixing damages, the impossi- bility of making an estimate of’ the profits of the games to be played, would destroy the efti- cacy of that action, and at any rate the club would lose the prestige which it enjoys through its membership In the association, It has never been considered an auswer to a bill to restore a complainant to membership in an unincor- porated association to say that he might have an action of law to recover damages for his ex- pulsion. Equity will always interfere to pro- tect plain rights. “As the case is at present pre- sented, we think a preliminary’ injunction should issue, and we therefore order It.” The injunction will continue in force until Saturday, December 19, when the court will hear a motion to dissolve it upon bill and affi- avits, In the afternoon all the representatives of the association met in the office of Mr. Rothermel, and arrangements were perfected to get the case in shape. Messrs. McKnight, the president; Byrne, of Brooklyn; Simmons, of Philadelphia, and Barnie, of Baltimore, were appointed a committee to represent the association in court as wellas draw up the affidavits in the case. ‘Those on the side of the prosecution were well Pleased with the result of yesterday's proceed- ngs, aud express themselves as satisfied that their rights will be preserved by the court. MANAGER SCANLON OF THE NATIONALS returned last night from Philadelphia, He ex- presses himself as perfectly satisfied that the outcome of the whole matter would be all right, and that the Nationals would play In the Atnerican association next year. ‘The Nation- als will carry thirteen players on their pay- rolls next season. Those thus far engaged are Barr and Miller, Lynch and Reipschlager, Cushman, the leit-handed pitcher, and Holbert, batieries;’ Baker, Knowles and 'Gladmon on the bases; Houck, short-stop, and Burch left field. One ot the catchers ‘will play center fielder, and a good right fielder is all that is wanted. Se ee ‘Transfers of Real Estate. Deeds in fec have been filed us follows: Joseph Morrison to Abbie L.

The Health Association Discuss the A REPORT FAVORING CREMATION IN CASE OF EPIDEMICS—THE LOMB PRIZES AWARDED— INTERESTING PAPERS READ LAST NIGHT— MORTALITY FROM CONSUMPTION IN THE DIS- TRIcT. When the American Public Health associa- tion assembled last evening Dr. J. M. Toner, of this city, referred to the statements reported in the papers as having been made in the conven- tion respecting the mortality from consumption in thiscity. One main factor, he said, in the large mortality from consumptiog was the large colored population here, composing one-third of the whole population. The colored people suffered very much from consumption, An- other fact that had influence upon the mortality trom consumption was that thiscity was on the bighway of travel between the north and south, and many invalids journeying in search of health stopped here to die. The president appointed the following spectal committee to consider resolutions relating to the imporiation and disinfection of J. Howard Taylor, Philadeiphia; A. N. Bell, New York; Henry B. Baker, Michigan; C. W. Chan- celler, Maryland, and H. B, Horlbeck, of South Carolina, THE LOMB PRIZES AWARDED. The first regular business of the evening was the reading ot the reports of committees of award of the Lomb prize essays. These prizes, offered by Henry Lomb, of Rochester, were in cash, aggregating $2,800, awarded as first and second prizes on the fou ibjects named. The first subject was “Healthy Homes and Food for the Working Classes.” Dr. Chancellor pre- sented the report of the committee, stating that the committee did not find that any of the 36 essays fulfilled the terms of the announce- ment, and therefore did not award the first Prize. The second prize was awarded to an essay which, upon investigating the envelope containing the name, proved to have been written by Victor C. Vaughan, of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Hon. Erastus Brooks read the re- port of the committee on the subject “The Sanitary Conditions and Necessities of School “Houses and School Life.” Of the twenty papers submitted the commitiee found none worthy of the first prize. The second es was awarded to D. F. Lincoln, M. D., of Boston. Dr. Durgin presented the re- port of the committee on “disintection and in- Glviaual, prophylaxis against tntectious dis eases.” The first prize was awarded to Dr. Geo. M. Sternberg, of Johns Hopkins university, of Baltimore. ‘The ‘second prize was wituheld. | The fourth subject for which prizes were offered | Was “the preventable causes of disease, injury | and d in American manufactories and workshops, and the best means and appliances for preventing and avoiding them.” In this case, the committee which presented its report through Dr. E. M. Hunt, thought no e sub- mitted worthy of the first prize. They awarded the second prize to the essay of Geo. a. ireland, of Springtield, Mass. MN. LOMB MADE A LIFE MEMBER, Mr. Lomb, the donor of the prizes, who was on the platform, was introduced to the audience and greeted with applause. Upon motion of Dr. Billings he was elected to Ife-membership | in the association, the first to receive such dis- inction. The president announced that t money unexpended would be offered again in Prizes to be awarded at the next annual session. SCHOOL HYGIEN! Prof. D. A. Sargent, of Harvard university, Cambridge, Mass., presented the report of the committee on school hygiene. The report gave an account of the reports collected by the com- mittee of matters relating to school architecture and school ventilation, The comiitiee gested that as it would have to obtain its largely by Paponel observation, its mem- bership shoul increased. A resolution that the association should resume the practical teaching of hygiene in schools, and that the committee be given power to increase its own membership at will was referred to the execu- tive committee. THE DISPOSAL OF THE DEAD, Dr. John Morris, of Baltimore, presented the report of the committee on disposal of the dead in a paper, which the writer explained, was chiefly a digest of the literature on the subject for the current year, The general acceptance of the germ theory, he sald, had materialiy infiu- enced public thought respecting cremation. Even those who did not favor eremation admit the necessity of reform in the present mode of ais ot mole Cremation, he wo was aining ground in many countrics in Europe. There were 4,380" bodice dissected In the coi lezes of Paris yearly. The debris of these bodies were now incinerated by special order. Three hundred and ninety-six bodies were cremated in Europe during the past year. He gave an account of experiments made by French scien- tists us to the effects of the decomposition of bodies. A bill, he said, had been introduced in the Spanish cortes allowing cremation The dreadful scenes in Granads during the cholera plague when hundreds of bodies re- mained unburied tor years, had undouptediy influenced the Spanish authorities, Cremation was also advancing in Germany, where scien- Usts claimed that cremation was @ safeguard against the spread of infectious diseases. The subject was exciting marked interest also in Denmark, where sanitarians thought the bad effect of cemeteries upon the health of the peo- ple had been demonstrated. The report referred also to a meeting held in Loadonin April last in which very effective arguments were advanced in favor of cremation, “Mr. Seymour Hayden, of England, he said, proposed to dispose of the dead by burying them with light shrouds in wicker coffins, so that nature's process of disso- lution may be hastened. Four persons, he said, have been cremated this year in England. He agitation of this question in England, he sald, had led to the formation of a cemetery know: as the London Necropolis association, whi had purchased 2,000 acres of ground for ceme- tery purposes near London. The coffins are mado _of pulp or papler mache, which to.all pearances is as solid and enduring as the ordi- nary coffin, but in reality speedily dissolves after interment. Referring to cremation in our own country Dr. Morris suid that the example of such a distinguished and enlightened man as Dr. Gross had no doubt had a marked effect | upon public opinion. TYPHOID FEVER NEAR A CEMETERY. Dr. Kedzey, of Lansing, Michigan, in aiscus- sing the report referred to a terribiy outbreak of typhoid fever in the city of Grand Rapids, Mich., which was traced to an alley located on low ground near a cemetery. whore the wells, he believed, were contamiiated by seepage from the cating bro Dr. Rohe said he bad not yet had evidence presented to him that convinced him that any ‘case of infectious disease had ever been trans- mitted by decomposing remains in a cemetery. WHAT DE. MORRIS RECOMMENDS, Dr. Hersch asked Dr. Morris whether he was in favor of cremation. Dr. Morris, who had not been able to read all his report, owing to the expiration of his time, sald he recommended incineration in case of epidemics and battles. He confined his recom- mendation to that, as he thought asa repre- sentative of a public body he should be con- servative. asked whether in the case of a great numbei in an epidemic provision could be made for the yr.
