SPEECHES MADE AT THE MEETING LAST EVEN- ING—KNIGHTS OF LABOR IN THE MOVEMENT PROPOSE TO “LET ALONE” MERCHANTS WHO KEEP OPEN. Mr. E. M. Hambleton called to order last evening a meeting held at Hilton hall, under the auspices of the Clerks’ assembly, in the In- terest of a general closing of stores on Thanks giving day. Mr. Hambleton said that some of them had to work half a day on Thanksgiving, ‘and some of them the whole day. What they wanted was to have an entire cessation of labor on that day, like the employes of the govern- ment enjoyed. Mr. August Donath was elected chairman of the meeting and upon taking the chair made an address. He said the lot of the mercantile clerks had been greatly benefited already by the efforts made iu their behalf. It was no longer considered uafastionable,he said,to have the ‘red early closing curd in a’ store window. The man who keeps a store he said would not Keep It open for fan. If man keeps open after hours and finds that no customers come 1a, he will very soon become a convert to the doctrine of a fair day's work for a tair duy’s pay. If they made up their minds not to buy aiter seven o'clock, not to buy on holidays, and furthermore, not to buy atanytime from those who keep open after hours, the number of those who so keep open will gradually decrease. He pledged the best efforts of the workingmen of the city in behalf of the clerks’ movement. By a unity of purpose on the part of all he said he believed they would not only sustain the early closing movement, but also have the stores closed on holidays. “The only way that we can do it,” he said, “ds to make it uuprofitable tor any man to keep open aiter hours or on holidays. We must leave the men who keep open their stores alone. They may send aman to the Albany peniten- Uary for boycotting, but we have a right to Keep our money in our pocket.” He believed they were strong enough to secure to the clerks aholiday on the Thanksziving day coming. When he went down the street and_ perceived the religious dimness that prevailed in stores that used to be open until late at night he was thanktul fer what had been done. Messrs. H. G. Trader and John Blakelock were elected secretaries ot the ineeting. LETTERS FROM MERCHANTS AND OTHERS. Mr. Trader read letters from John C. Black, commissioner of pensions; Norman J. Colman, commissioner of agriculture, and Col. J. M. Wilson, commissioner of public buildings and grounds, expressing interest and sympathy in the Thanksgiving day movement. Letters were Tead fr-m the following-named merchants ex- pressing their intention toclose next Thursday: G. G. Cornwell & Son, the Washington News company, Petersen & Uhilds, N. W. Burchell, C. Wiuner & Co, K. B. Buckley, manager ‘tor Nicoll the tailor; B.H. Stinemetz & Son, A. Lisner, Moore & Leding, Alex. Milne, Hall & Barnes, W. S. Waddy, F. G. Alexander, H. Walker Tucker, W. W. Burdette & Co., Luey L. Hanter, W. H. Lowdermilk « Co., Gi well, manager for Peter Grogal P. B. Owterback, Daniel Mune Moran, ,” Woodward & Lothrop, House & Hermann and B. 1. Wheeler. Several inerchants wrote that they would close Part of the day, and one or two that they could not close without inconveniencing customers. Letters were received from Revs. A. W. Pitzer, 8.N. Newman, John H. Eillott, Geo. G. Lituk John B, Williams, J. A. Pine, 'S. P. Phill James H. Lee, Edmund H.’Swem and C. Richardson in favor of the movement. Mr. Richardson’s letter extended to the clerks an invitation to attend Thanksgiving day services at his chureh, Messrs. G. W. Spier, E. W. Hambleton and E. M. Blake were appointed a committee on reso- lutions. DEPARTMENT CLERKS AND LABOR MOVEMENT. Whilethe committee was preparing resolu- tions, Milford S. Spohn, of the bricklayers’ union, made an address, in the course of which he remarked that there was a large number who did not belong to the labor organizations. They dia not care for this movement. Unfor- tunately, he said, this class existed to a greater extent in Washington than in any eity in the country. “I speak,” he said, “of the thousands employed by the government. Men who do not care whether stores work Seven hours or seventeen hours. They work short hours by the Virtue of the political influence of working- men through which they have got into soft places, and they will stay there, 1 suppose, until they are taken out by the aid of the under: taker. They don’t care where they deal. It is this element that, in any aggressive movement made by the labor element of Washington, we have to combat.” THE RESOLUTIONS. The committee then reported resolutions, which were adopted, setting forth “that we heartily indorse the clerk’s assembly to have a general closing of stores on Thanksgiving day, and that we ask the co-operation of the mer: chants and the general public in this move- ment.” Mr. Trader read an address adopted by Dis- trict Assembly No, G6, KE. of Lis saying: “On behalf ot the store clerks of this city, both male and female, we issue this earnest appeal to the citizens of the Disiriet of Columbia to refrain from shopping on Thanksgiving day, thus affording the clerks a chance for rest on that day THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR. Mr. E.M. Blake, expiaining this brief address, said that if the merchants only realized the full meaning of it they would see at once that it would be good business policy for them to close. “That,” he said, “is an official order sent out to 12,000 men in ‘the District of Columbia, and 12,000 adults controlling gi families. TLean be’ safely estimated tha@this resolution will control 20,000 people. Those wio know the discipline of the Knights of Labor will not ques- tion what I'say. They know that anyone who would purchase so much as two cents worth on that day would violate his manhood. They will do further, they will wateb the stores that keep open and will pass them by in the future. It would be good policy to close. There are others than the Knights of Labor interested; these are the trades-unionists.”* He requested bis hearers to use their influ- ene: with their friends “to punish the man who keeps his store open on Thanksgiving day.” Mr. T. Fulton Gantt made the closing address, denouneing the man “whose soul was so sinali that he would open his store on Thanksziving day.” Mr. H. M. Arnold thought the merehants were bound by their agreement to close at 7 o'clock, to close also on legal holidays, but Mr. Spier said they were not, as no vote lad been taken on this question. Civil ice Commissioner John H. Oberly Was announced to address the meeting, but he did not come. He sent a note, stating that a prior engagement, recalled at a late hour, pre- Vented his attendane ‘To the Faltor of the THe EVENING STAR: Referring to a late case of poisoning of an | entire family by “cream puff,” permit an old efit, that he most. b, Dut the most in- 1s generally made confectioner to say for the public be1 ofall pastry the erea indigestible, eve jurious when stale. by rubbing butter, flour, exss into a tongh mass in a copper kettle over 4 fire—and as it contains no “rising” and is very quickly browned in a hot oven- it remains a tough indigestible ball and flour that nothing short of an "sstomach can digest.

TUESDAY. | tH PROSPECT OF A FREE BRIDGE. Meeting ia Alexandria Yesterday. Tne action of the called meeting of the Alex- andria Canal company was reported in a spe- cial dispatch to yesterday's Star. The follow- ing is a detailed report of the proceedings: Mr. J. M. Johnson introduced a resolution ratifying and confirming the contract made the 18th of October, 1886, between the directors of the Alexandria Canal company and the direct- ors of the Alexandria Canal and Bridge com- pany, which was adopted by a unanimous vote. ‘The contract referred to, and which is made a part of the resolution, provides that both of the companies are to unite in a deed to the United States government, conveying tot the Aque- duct bridge and the approaches thereto, to be used by the government as a tree bridge, as rovided iorin the act passed by Congress on 1886, The purchase price, $125, is to be paid to the Alexandria Canal, Rail and Bridge company, out of which that com- Pauy is required to pay all outstanding jud ments against the Alexundria Canal company. The lease w Wells, Quigiey and Dungan, now held in trust for the AleXandria Canal, Rail- road and Bridge company, ts to be cancelled, and the privileges granted thereby shall revert to the Canal company, as wiil also all propert; lawtully leased by the Canal company to vari- ous parties, including property at Rosalyn ‘and in this city. A resolution offered by Mayor Smoot was also ‘unanimously adopted, requesting the directors of the Canal company’ to unite with the direct- ors of the Canal and Bridge company in the ex- ecution of the deed to the government, It having been suggested that it would be proper that the Alexandria canal company should meet at an early day to determine what should be done with the remainder of the canal, Gen, Wells suggested that as the conveyance to the United States would not_be completed by the 22d of December, the next meeting of the stockuolders should ‘take place subsequent to that time. It was then agreed that the eom- pany adjourn until the 28d of December next. ‘This action cuts in twain the Alexandria canal, gives the aqueduct to the lessees, who will at Ouce sell it to the United States tora free bridge, and leaves the nine miles in Mal bles to th canal company without water to fill it.

One of the stories concerning him was that on the day of Emma Pearson's disappear- ance a man in a light express wagon and wear- ing a light overcoat overtook a Miss Loomis on the road where the murder is supposed. to have taken place, aud asked her to take aride,which invitation she declined.
