Cutcaco, April 19.—About two hundred em- ployes of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad held a meeting in South Chicago last evening to far- ther protest against the imsurance association scheme. Several vigorous hes were made against it. Superintendent Britton also spoke. He said that no man would be forced to join the association and no removals would be made for refusal to do so. Supt. Britton’s speech was in answer toa ech by John D. Anglim, head timekeeper of the road at South Chicago, who presided and declared that he had carefully looked into the situation and had arrived at the conclu- sion that the men in joininj the association were not benefited according to the cost. He was very much afraid that the representatives of the company were not sin- cere in their declaration that no man was com- pelled to join the association. He believed that those who were bold enough to refuse to join would be “spotted” and sooner or later in a quiet manner would be forced to leave the company’s service. ged Wane sore WHIPPED AND TARRED. Mormon Missionaries Maltreated in Dale County, Ala. St. Lovts, April 19—Information comes from Dale county, Alabama, that five Mormon mis- sionaries were severely whipped and driven from the county last Monday night. These men had been holding meetings among the ignorant classes of the county, and had formed a colony to go to Utah This had been carried on against the judgment of the better class of citizens, but no action to stop it was taken until the last issue of the Ozark Star advised the people to tar and feather the Mormons and drive them away. Monday night some forty of the so-called best citizens of the northern of the county, without the slightest pogo at disguise, sur- rounded the house of Gid ms, & recent con- vert, who was entertaining ‘the five mis- sionaries. Without delay they were brought out, stripped to the waist and tied in a row. Then each of the regulators, with along switch, struck each prisoner asounding blow. By the time the last blow was given two of the men had fainted and the others WERE WET WITH BLOOD. After the whipping the men’s legs were given athick coating of tar and feathers, and they were warned to leave instantly or suffer death, Trons was told that if the Mormons were found in his house again he, too, would be Ge The names of the Mormons are Asa F.

Their followers in Dale county talk of avenging the whipping, but if anything of that kind is attempted bloodshed will follow. prisons FOR KILLING HIS SWEETHEART. Sylvester Grubb Hanged at Vincennes, Ind., To-day. Vixcexyes, Ixp., April 19.—Last evening Mrs. Denny, who converted Sylvester Grubb, the murderer of Gertie Downey, took her final leave of the doomed man. The separation was very affecting. Grubb retiredat 10 o'clock, and soon fell asleep and slumbered peace- fully all night long. He rose at 5 o'clock, ap- arently refreshed. He washed and looked right, though slightly downcast. He ate his breakfast with much relish. He was then shaved. He talked and joked with the rest of the prisoners. His hands were ptnioned behind him while he was being shaved. He seemed anxious to see his family, and spoke of them repeatedly. At 9 o'clock Rev. Mr. Keith, the Baptist clergy- man, went to his cell and remained with bith, praying and singing until the hour of execu- tion. Grubb said he was prepared to die. At 11:10 Grubb was led to the scaffold. His legs were then pinioned. They trembled slightly though his face showed no signs of fear. His voice was clear. When asked if he had anything to say he replied coolly, “I have a heap to say; but dare not open my mouth on account of the news- paper men. I am ready; better put on your rope.” He raised his chin and the black sp was drawn at 11:14. At 11:15 the drop fell. His neck was broken and he scarcely moved, save a slight tremor of the hands and swayin: of the legs. At 11:30 he was pronounced dead. The body was delivered to his brother. —— TO ASSASSINATE THE CZAR. A Nihilist Plot to Kill Him at Gen. Paucker’s Funeral. St. Pererssvre, April 19.—The prefect Of police has discovered the existence of a Nihilist plot to assassinate the czar while he was attend- ing the funeral of Gen. Paucker, minister of roads. ‘The czar was immediately warned not to at- tend the funeral. A number of persons charged with being implicated in the plot have been ar- rested. The nihilists intended to use dynamite in their attack on the ezar. To Build a New Town. Sracytox, Va., April 19.—The Iron and Land Improvement company was organized at Clif- ton Forge last night.

Sax Franctsco, April 19.—One of the largest shipments of thoroughbreds ever made from Senator Stanford’s Palo Alto farm will start east to-day. Between eighty and ninety head of young horses, occupying cars. will start for New York city to be sold at auction May 8 and 9. This isthe first lot of stock that has gone east for over two years.

The liabilities are unknown, but are thought to be heavy. = Blew His Brains Out in the Street. New York, April 19.—Bernard Kern, aged fifty,a German piano maker, blew his brains | THE PRESIDENT’S QUIET DAY. And Yet There Were Numerous Callers at the White House. ‘THE PLACE-HUNTERS ARE SOMEWHAT DISCOUR- AGED—SOUTHERN MEX AMONG THE .T's It was very quiet at the White House to-day, in spite of the fact that the weather was tempt- ing enough to drag the most decrepit office- secker from hislair. The idea has been indus- triously circulated for more than a week past that the President has not only determined not to succumb to those who are most persist- ent, but has set his face like a flint against ad- vancing the interests of those who imagine that their calling and election will be made more sure by diurnal visits to the execu- tive mansion. Several of those who started out on an energetic campaign, the foundation of which rested on no less than onecall on each working day have given up their quest in dis- gust, while some milder-mannered man whose persistence was less apparent, and whose im- tuosity was under better control, has grace- Fu glided away with the coveted commissi without having created any appreciable fric- tion in the getting thereof. THE TENNESSEEANS AR® STEADY WORKERS and regular attendants in the library, but they move almost noiselessly. Representatives Houk and Taylor had their customary confér- ence with the President, and they brought a few friends so that the great appointing power might see what manner of men their state pro- duced in these degenerate days. They are very much intere#ted in offices out in Ten- nessee. There were other southern men there who cast longing eyes in the direction from whence the spri: icecuas waft pleasing odors which emanate from tite flesh-pote. HON, JNO. M. LANGSTON, accompanied by D. F. Batts and James H. Hayes, had a chat with the President. “In the beginning of my work in the 4th district,” said Mr. Langston to a Srar reporter afterward, “I did just as any other candidate would have done; I went before the people asa republican, without regard to color or any other personal consideration. I was on good terms with the party—rank and file. I went to Chicago as a republican and supported my candidate, John Sherman, all the time. Finally Mahone and his followers saw fit to attack me, not charging anything against my ability or my soundness as a republican, but basing their warfare on the ground of my color. They have been very bitter, and have even gone to the ex- tent of combining with the democrats in their endeavors to compass my defeat. They used every means, honorable and dishonorable. against me. They will fail, however, for I will ‘et my seat in Congress on the facts and the we” SOUTH CAROLINA sent but two anxious ones, E. M. Brayton and Thomas E. Miller, while North Carolina pro- vided E. A. White and Dr. P. John. Texas was represented by W. H. Howard, editor of the Cotulla Times, Senator Plumb was a busy man. He entered the White House in his breezy Kansas style, and when he went out he moved just as rapidly. He said he was not aware of anything new, un- less it was the receipt by him this morning of more than 300 new letters—al! about offices. Representative Osborne had with him the man who gave ex-Speaker Carlisle such an in- teresting struggle for his seat in the last Con- grees—Ceorge |. Thobe, of Kentucky. IF VERMONT WANTS ANYTHING the President knows all about it now, for Sena- tor Morrill had quite a lengthy conversation with him after Senator Dolph got through talking about Oregon's needs, and when rere through he took away something that looked to a man up a tree like a promise to appiont J. B. Hunt- ington, of Baker City, to the position of reg- ister of the land office at Drewsey, Oregon. Representative Morrow called to see how California was [ ym onin the presidential affections, and Representative Mason dropped in to say “good-bye.” He is tired. OHIO WAS AROUND, as usual. Representatives Thompson and Wick- ham escorted C. L. Curtis in, and did their best to impress the President with the necessity which exists for the appointment of Mr. Curtis en responsible and remunerative position of se second controller. x-Senator John B. Henderson had a long session with the President. He went in to stay for a couple of minutes and remained nearly an hour. The ex-Senator is at the head of the United States delegation to THE ALL-AMERICAN CONGRESS, and he was asked by a Star reporter if he had commenced to organize. “No; haven’t done anything about it. I vagy say a word to the President about it to- y.” ig to provide a few Missourians with offices?” queried the scribe. “Didn't say a word about offices,” replied Mr. Henderson. “Must have hada very pleasant time,” in- sisted the reported. “Very,” said the Missourian. ‘The Presi- dent said I was the only man who had talked to him for three weeks—four weeks—yes, six weeks, who didn’t want any office.” BUT FIVE NEW YORKERS secured admission to the library—Charles Hopkins and Mart L. Ohr, of Brooklyn; M. D. Stivers, represenative of the fifteenth district; Mr. Bacon. his predecessor; Mr. B. B. Odell, jr.,a member of the state republican com- mittee; and William Henry Woods, Editor J. W. Baker, of the Columbia City Commercial; N. Headington, of Portland, and . W. Bennett, of Richmond, are the only Hoosiers who saw their candidate and talked with him about the desirability of some slight recognition of their enthusiasm last fall. THE BRITISH COLONIES were represented by Governor and Mrs. McLelan, of Nova Scotia—as fine a looking couple as ever left the land of Bluenoses to enjoy the beauties of springtime in Washing- ton—and Mr. John T. Annear, who is a member of the Queensland parliament in the far-away continent of Australia, OTHER CALLERS were Mrs. Gen. Crook, Mrs. Latey, Mra. 8. D. Willard, Prof. James Hall, and A, Alderson, of Baltimore. Representative Henry Cabot Lodge was in Secretary Halford’s room for awhile this after- noon. He fileda lot of papers and petitions and came out relieved, “I am_ not overburdened by office-seehers,” said he to Star reporter. “The people of New England do not seem to be anxious for much. In my district there has not yet been a single endeavor to remove even a postmaster. ‘ly daily mail is never more than thirty or forty letters. As tothe Boston collectorship, it is safe to say that there will be no change there until next December.” THE CABINET MEETING was not a long one, nor was it at all exciting. There was no internal dissension to consider, nor were there any inter- national complications under discussion. for when Secretary Blaine came out of the cabinet room he was whistling ‘White Wings.” He continued to whistle the somewhat familiar vocal antiquity until he had gone half way down the stairs. The Secretary whistles well. It has been said that Secretary Halford is a whistler; that may be true, but he has never whistled while on duty at the White House. Mr. Blaine, however, with no previous reputation as a whistler, and no apparent prac- tice whistles exquisitely, and in the White House, too. THE OHIO DELEGATION is ina somewhat confused condition. Shortly after inauguration, when the Congressmen from that state wanted the delegation to come together and agree about offices, Senator Sher- man — back. > ‘Then it was every man for himself.

COMMISSIONERS’ APPORTIONMENT pailles Mr. Weller Discusses the General Sched- ule and Major Raymond’s refed ora To the Editor of Tae Evexrxe Star: ‘ing your reporter's statement in this evening’s issue of an interview with Major Ray- ion | Mond is an accurate account of the language used on the occasion by that gentleman, in re- ply I herewith append part of the official re- port aé submitted to Congress by Mr. Clements, éhairman of the sul tee on District ap- Propriatiéns, which pfoves beyond a possible doubt that even an Engineer Commissioner is not infallible: “The whole amount recommended for work on streets and avenues is $617,000, appor- tioned equitably among the natural éubdivis- ions of the city. At the request of the com- mittee, the Commissioners have furnished schedules of the streets, embracing all that af@ mentionéd in the appendix referred to in the bill, but arranged in the order in which they ex- press their intention to improve them so far as the appropriations made may be sufficient. Said revise \iecegitiee are iene cide agan appen is re) n appears tl fe opaneral eheceie® of uicoom recukinncaned for improvement, as follows: Street Total dose ©, southeast and southwest... se gee. 813,400 Maryland avenue, northeast... Pennsylvania avenue, southeast, North Capitol Thirty-fifth, Georgetown. B, northwest. Seventeenth, seye North Carolina avenue. Four-and-a-half, New Hampshire ave: B, southeast............... fo Delaware avenue, southwest. New York avenue..........4 The streets above the dotted line were left over from last yéar; Congress appropriated for the general schedule “$185,16e, mstead _of $278,000 as asked by the Commissioners, being a reduction of $92,850, According to their own letter, in which they had arranged the streets in the numerical order of the contemplated im- provements, their course of action should be evidently to adhere to their expressed inten- tions, which naturally means to commence with C street, the first street named, then Maryland avenue, afterward Pennsylvania avenue, and so on to the west as far as the amount would reach, bringing it down pro- bably to the last four streets alluded to, which would then be left over for next Ofrenda inserted as the first to be improved from tt appropriation for 1890. Now, how they fla- grantly violated this agreement, is clearly ap- parent by the following table: Recommendation, $278,000; appropriation, $185,765; northwest, $54,450, apportioned, $77,950; southwest, $40,550, apportioned, $24," 550; eastern section, $115,500, apportioned, $63,900; Georgetown, $37,500, apportioned, 18,750; so that all the northwest fost by the jaggling manipulation was $6,500, compared with a deduction of $51,600 from the amount recommended originally ‘to Congress by the Commissioners themselves for East Washing- ton. This was accomplished by omitting from the less-favored section portion of Maryland avenue northeast, secondon the list, leftover from. last year, probably the most important thor- oughfare in the city, leading as it does, to two main outlets to our neighboring state; also North Carolina avenue and B street southeast. With regard to the sectional schedules, the major was merely wasting breath; when claim- ing that the Commissioners have no power to reduce the amounts; every child knows that. In conclusion, I beg.to say that I think the new Commissioners will change the ps tionment as made by the present board, Major Raymond to the contrary notwithstanding.

The next morning he handed the warrant to an officer, and told him to notify Bourke to be at the Po- lice Court. The officer came in to the station that night, saying that he had not seen Capt. Bourke, but would see him the next day, That evening Capt. Armes came into the station and asked why the warrant had not been served, and that he wished the case could be brought into court the next morning at 10 o'clock. The next day the officer went down to the court and learned that the case was nolle prossed. THE CLERK OF THE POLICE COURT A WITNESS. Howard C. Clagett, clerk at the Police Court, was next called to the stand and testified that a warrant had been issued for Capt. Bourke for aseault on complaint of Capt. Armes on the 5th of March, Identifying a copy of this warrant, he said that there was no summons for witnesses is- suéd on it, nor was thefe the usual indorse- ment to show that the officer had caused the arrest of the party named. Armes had at first asked him for warrants for two gentlemen, that they accosted him on the avenue and had put him out of the parade, taking hold of the bridle-rein of his horse and also by his cloak. Witness thought that this indicated a prima facie case of assault, and issued the war- rant accordingly. The defense recalled James Hewes, th8 carriage clerk of the Riggs house, asking him if Capt. Armes on the occasion of the assault on Gov. Beaver, was in the uniform of an army officer. Hewes replied that he believed that Armes was in citi- Zens’ dress, Capt. Austin, of the police force, was called and testified to seeing Capt. Armes in the in- augural procession on the avenue at about 12th street, TESTIMONY AS TO CHARACTER. Col, John 8. Mason, U. 8. A., retired, stated that he had known Capt. Armes since about 1878, So far ashe knew, personally, his char- acter as an officer and a gentleman was good. The next witness, C. H. Burgess, had known Captain Armes for about twenty-six years and knew nothing against him. Major Carson, correspondent of the Phila- delpnia Ledger, testified that he had known Capt. Armes for fully ten years. Previous to the inauguration he met “General Hastings one day, and the latter asked him if he knew a man named Armes. Witness said that he did know him, and on being asked what kind of a man he was replied that Armes was o “crank” AN ERRATIC KIND OF MAN, Hastings said that Armes had been invited to be one of the aides on General Beaver’s staff, and that some of the other army officers had objected to him asa disreputable character, Witness told Hastings that now that one blunder had been made by putting Armes on the staff he would not make another by putting him off. TWO KINDS OF CRANKS, “What do you mean by a crank?” asked Judge Hubbell. “I use the word as it is generally used. I used it as I would in saying that Edison was a crank, or Bismarck was a crank. There are two kinds of cranks, general cranks and special cranks.” The major did not attempt to classify Capt. Armes. He said that he told Hastings that the officers of the army had an intense prejudice against Armes, and he ex- lained his history to him as far as he knew. nu his opinion Armes’ name was on the list of aides up to that time. A. R. Parris recognized Capt. Armes as a client of the banking firm of which he is a member, Crane, Parris & Co, His relations had always been satisfactory. Judge Hubbell introduced in evidence a cer- tified copy of the Senate proceedings, entitled “Arrangement of Inaugural Procession of March 4, 1889,” as the only official authority for the inaugural procession. At 2:30, there being no more witnesses on hand, the court adjourned until 11 o'clock to- morrow morning. ° a THE COURTS. Propate Court—Register Clagett.

Wextinoton, Kas., April 19.—Two Oklahoma colonist oytfits attempted this morning to cross State creek, which is greatly swollen, at Foraker’s ford, two miles south of this city. The first horses to enter were drowned, the jon swept away and the occupants res- oma sagas difficulty. PAVithout attempting to save the submerged wagon or contents the boomers hastily drove the other outfit to a farmhouse near by, leaving it in charge of the farmer, and moun' ing horses, galloped away to the nearest railroad station to take the cars for Oklahoma, They had traveled over 200 miles overland, and said they were determined to reach Oklahoma in spite of “hell and high water.” The Canal-boat Counterfeiters. New Yonx, April 19.—Chief-operative Burns, of the secret service, had before him this morning Frederick Broadback, tain of the canal-boat Jacob Sims, and Oh ptain of the 19, 1889, THE BRITTON ROBBERY. Trial of Parker and Wayman in the} Fined Under Yesterday afternoon in the Criminal Court, Jmige Bradley, Geo. Parker, who was last week convicted of housebreaking, and Lewis Way- man, alias Pat Wayman, both colored, were placed on trial. The defendants were charged with entering the house of Mr. AT. Britton, Feb- ruary 28, and robbing it of a gold watch, silver six pairs of tacles or eye-glasses, P+ Is ts alleged tat Pacbor entered tus boast DF a secon i the d-story window, after porch, and left bythe same way, Wayman meanwhile watching for him on the out- side. Col. and Mrs. Britton testified to the ar- ticles recovered having been stolen. Henry E. Burgess testified to getting the watch from Wayman, paying him $10 in poker checks for it. TESTIMONY TO-DAY. The trial was resumed this morning and Detective Raff testified that Parker when under arrest atthe third precinct station admitted that he worked the job, and that Wayman watched in the yard; and that Wayman having been arrested said when he learned that Parker had implicated him, that it was true that he watched in the yard while Parker went into the hguse, and when he heard the bell ring he sup- posedit wasa burglar alarm and ran, and when keF came out he sup that he was some one else and had his pistol drawn. Officer Weedon testified to the arrest of Way- man and to the statements of the prisoners, and that Parker took them to Waters’ place, closed the governmedt’s case. PARKER DENIES. Parker took the stand in his own behalf and denied that he had anything to do with this robbery or knew anything of the articles and asserted that in his talk to the officers he re- ferred to the Tyler robbery. He admitted on cross-examination his recent conviction and that he had served a term in the penitentiary. On being questioned as to the pistol, he said he had 4 pistol like it which he bought in New York when he and his wife were livin there taking care of the homestead of Frank Vinsent, a millionaire on the Hudson. He de- nied that he was in the Tyler case as a princi- 1, or that he ever engaged in a second story job or other burglary. Second story work was regarded as that of sneak thief, On redirect examination Parker stated that he asked for a drink of whisky and they gave it to him bringing in a half pint at a time. The officer's object was to get him to talk. Witness was made drunk in the station and when he had the talk with the officers he had a pint and a half of whisky under his skin. The defendant, Wayman, took the stand and admitted that he told the officers that he bought the watch of a white man on March 2. After he had been arrested Mr. Mahon ques- tioned about the watch and he told him how he got it, and did not know it was stolen. He de- nied that he told the officers that he watched while Parker robbed, but he told them that he met them that night and walked down 15th street, and Parker left him, goinginto an alley, telling him to wait; that he went to the corner of H street and waited and then returned,when Parker came out with the pistol and told him to put it in his pocket, which he did, and then went down with him, at his request, to Waters’. Witness did not think that Parker meant to rob a house. Withess did not, in fact, tell the truth when he said that he got the watch from awhite man. He was sent to Waters to get the watch tosell, ON CROSS-EXAMINATION witness acknowledged that he had been con- victed of assaulting a woman, of kicking Offi- cer Phil. Thompson blind, and of burglary. He repeated that he did not know that Parker robbed any house. While at Waters, Parker aud Waters went into an another room. OTHER WITNESSES. Fannie Shaw testified that Wayman came to her house on E street, above 17th street, with a pair of shoes, between 7and 7:30 o'clock. On cr xamination witness denied that she kept an immoral house, althouth she lived with a friend. She was not a member of the church, but her sister had been. Dennis Wayman, brother of Lewis, testified to the latter mending a pair of shoes and tak- in — away one evening not later than 6:30 o’cloc! VERDICT OF GUILTY, The case was submitted without argument, Judge Bradley charging the jury briefly, and in five minutes they returned with a verdict of guilty as indicted. Notices of motions in ar- rest of judgment and for a new trial were given, —>—_ THE ACADEMY OF SCIENCE. The Annual Session Closed To-day—A Number of Papers Read.

A Fresh Quarrel Breaks Out in Bir- mingham. Special to the New York Tribune. Loxpoy, April 18.—It was not a peace at Bir- mingham; it was only a truce; and hostilities be- tween the tories and the liberal-unionists have broken out afresh. The tory association held a meeting yesterday, and passed a resolution that “pending a satisfactory explanation of the breach of faith by those who were parties to the compact for the candidature of Lord Randolph Churchill, it is impossible for association not hissed, but his opposition to Lord Churchill was vehemently censured.

This afternoon in the Police Court Henry Young, colored, was placed on trial, charged with violating the gambling law, it being al- leged that he permitted gaming in premises under his control—a pool-room and eating house at No. 311 13% street northwest, The gambling charged is alleged to have been im connection with games of pool played on tables. Mr. James E. Padgett appeared the and plead not guilt?. : SEVEN COLORED testified that they played pool in the defend- ant's place. The loser would pay for the game, ‘The winner would receive checks from the pro= Prietor which would entitle him to 5 cents’ worth of anything in the house, such as ginger beer, tonic beer, Cider, and especially ple and e " he defendant admitted the facts as sworn to by the witnesses, and Mr. Padgett claimed that be was masttodt oon fcquittal because he had n conducting this business sm; it lawfal. If the court holds that te ie gull ot having violated the law he is willing to What he did is the universal practice in all pool rooms in the city. AN IMPORTANT QUESTION, “Here arises a very important question,” said Judge Miller. “Going outside of the law, there is no more nefarious thing than this busi« ness, Here are a number of boys who are kept from work and are permitted to go there and play for theee checks, They represent something, so that the boys played for the re- sult of the game. The very act of giving some- thing at the end of the game is an inducement held out to them to play. Pool and billiard tables are not gaming tables within the mean- ing of the law; but when betting or playing for a wager is permitted the game assumes & different aspect.” Mr. Padgett argued that the tables in nes tion were gaming tables under the law. They were licensed tables, and were, thei rece ognized by the law as legal tables, and under the license the defendant had a right to do exs actly what he was doing. He cited an authority in support of his position, THE JUDGE, COMMENTING ON THE CASE, said that where such inducements are held out it has the effect of gathering idlers, who be= come fascinated with the @ame and will rob their parents at night to get money enough to play with their companions, The judge spoke of the demoralizing effects of such games, He said that a boy will go in such a place just after dinner to play pool. He is not hi and wants nothing to but he will drink and smoke and probably become sick. “Can't eat pie,” remarked Mr. Padgett. “No,” continued the judge. “That has not been my experience,” said Mr. Padgett. Mr. Padgett said that if the court held the defendant guilty he did not think that the case wae one that called for a heavy fine, as it was the first case of the kind evef brought to the court’s attention. SENTENCE STSPENDED, Judge Miller said he was under the impres- sion that if any inducement outside the price of the game was held out toget these people there it wasa violation of the law. A fine of $25 was imposed and the court suspended exe- cution of sentence. inate Oxty $6.50 To New York axp Rervey.— The Centennial Celebration of the Inaugura- tion of General Washington will undoubtedly be the most imposing demonstration ever held in this country.
