The Result of Stopping the Work on the Avenue Railroad. 44 DISTRICT INSPECTOR CALLS A HALT—CONFERENCE BETWEEN THE RAILROAD OFFICIALS JND THE COMMISSIONERS—AN AGREEMENT BY WHICH IT 18 EXPECTED THE WORK WILL BE HASTENED, A street inspector was placed over the work on the Washington and Georgetown railroad tracks on Pennsylvania avenue this morning to see that the order of April 19, relative to said paving, was not violated, This was in accord- ance with the announcement made in the letter sent by the Commissioners yesterday to Presi- dent Hurt of the railroad company. The re- sult was that in a short time after taking charge the inspector stopped the _ pavers from work, His ground for doing this was, as he claimed, that the order referred to was being violated, stones being used which were not of the proper size and laid in a manner contrary to the conditions named in the specifications, A CALL AT THE COMMISSIONERS’ OFFICE. As soon as President Hurt was informed of the action of the inspector he, in company with Mr. ©. C. Glover, one of the directors, called upon the Commissioners to learn something about the matter. The gentlemen were shown into the board room, and there, with Commissioners Hine and Raymond and Capt. Symons, went over the en- tire subject. Mr. Hurt claimed that the pave- ment between the tracks in question was laid some years ago in accordance with Specifications in force at that time, and that it was good iy = touse now. Maj. Raymond, on the other hand, claimed that the blocks not only did not conform to the specifi- cations but they were rounded and unfit for use. He said further that it was his intention and desire to insist, in al! cases when railroad companies changed the pi tween the tracks, that it should be the very best manner possible. He taken high grounds on that subject, he said, and thought that every cobble stone should be runout of the District, as was the case in Europe. In support of his position in the mat- ter Maj. Raymond asked if the Commissioners must leave a ragged old pavement tu spoil the whole effect of the avenue. He said, also, that he thought the company should be required to Pave in accordance with the specifications, PRESIDENT HURTS POSITION, President Hurt in reply stated that if the order in question was insisted upon none of the stones between the tracks would do and that it would require several months to get the stone here and complete the work. He said that 600,- 000 blocks would be required to pave theavenue aud they would cost over $70,000. He said further, that he thought it would be @ great in- justice to insist upon the specifications in the aying of these stones, as it was the inten- tion of the company to change the mo- tive power within « year, and as they would then pave between the tracks with asphalt the new blocks would be of no account. At any rate he said it would be impossible to get the blocks here in time to complete the paving before the Knights Templar parade in October. Capt. Symons then said that the District would furnish them, WHAT MR. GLOVER SAID, Mr. Glover said that the company had made no provision for blocks, as the company did not think it would be required to throw away the old ones, He said further, that he thought it would be a great mistake to enforce the or- der, as it would delay the avenue improve- ment. He said thatthe company was doing its best to hurry the work along and that it had fifteen pavers at work this morning when the Commissioners stepped in and interfered. He asked if the Commissioners, in view of the fact that the present pavement was only to be there temporarily, would modify their order so a8 to allow them to continue the work, SOME OF THE BLOCKS MAY BE USED, Capt. Symons said that, although not one of the stones was of the requisite size, there were some of them which, if properly laid, would make « fair pavement. Commissioner Hine wanted to know what proportion could be nsed. Capt. Symons replicd that he thought the stones between the tracks could be utilized in the trac! proper and that the proportion would be about one-third. Commissioner Hine said that there was no objection to waiving the size of the stone, pro- vided they were in proper condition to use, but ne thought that in all other respects they should comply with the specifications. 4 COMPROMISE AGREED ON. Capt. Symons proposed as a compromise that the company use the best stones in the tracks and that the space between the tracks be paved with asphalt blocks, It was agreed that Capt. Symons and President Hurt should jo over the road and see if this could be ne. The captain immediately set out and on returning recommended that this be done. The Commissionere accepted the compromise as wellas the railroad people and now matters are all right. THE WORK TO GO AHEAD, Capt. Symons said to a Star reporter that he thought it was the best solution of the whole trouble. The work will be done quicker and better, he said, in time for the great parade in October. The work will go ahead now—the paving between the tracks will be commenced a8 soon as the blocks can be secured. A TALK WITH PRESIDENT HURT. “We have met with opposition upon every occasion this road has undertaken to do any- thing this year,” said Mr. Hurt, president of the Washington and Georgetown railroad com- pany, today to a Stax reporter, “and it appears to make but little difference when we make every effort to do our utmost.” Speaking of the letter sent to the company by the Commis- sioners yesterday and published in Tue Srar, Mr. Hurt said: “It is certainly inconsistent with the desires of the Commissioners to have the roadway completed by October 5 not to allow the company to use paving blocks that were designated by a specially appointed com- mission, composed of j. Gen. H. G. Wrigh aj. Gen. Q A. Gillmore and Edward Clarke, who in December, 1876, selected the Belgian block,to be 2 by 8 inches by 5 or 6 inches deep.as the block to be used in paving between the outer rails of this com- pany’s road. The Belgian blocks of those di- mensions are now being used,” continued Mr. Hurt, “and among them there aed be ones that have been used for some time, but I con- tend that the company has a right to use them again while they in the req dim sions.” “I can't se ud Mr. Hurt, “what right the Commissioners have to assume to complete the work, for really we have three years and ninety days to complete it. If upon the expiration of ‘that time it bas not been Giuwhed the Commissioners could probably do it.” This is law, as shown by the District p gemiecrey bill of March, 1889, Even if Commissioners had the power to assume the management and the actual doings of the work how could they do it?

COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF WARNER DELIVERS A LENGTHY AND INTERESTING ADDRESS, SPEAKING OF THE GROWTH OF THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS POSITION ON THE PENSION QUESTION. Mitwavxez, Wis., Aug. 28.—The twenty- third national encampment was called to order by Commander-in-Chief Warner at 10:15. Af- ter prayer by Chaplain Wharton of the Wiscon- sin department and a brief intermission to al- low late delegates to seat themselves Com- mander Warner, at 10:45, began to read his ad- dress: Commander Warner’s Address. Comrades and Shipmates: I am here to give an account of my stewardship, The greatest honor ever conferred upon me was my election as commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. In taking the obligation of the office I fully realized the importance of the trust you had confided to me, and then highly resolved reither by word nor act to do anything that should drive a deserving comrade from our ranks, and to do all that in me lay to strengthen the silver chords of comradeship that I trust shall ever bind the surviving soldiers and sailors of the Union nies and navy, one to another as brothers ie If atthe endof my termI am enabled to place in the hands of my successor the banner of our order illuminated with the three great virtues: Fraternity, Charity and ete my highest ambition will have been gratifie ‘the {Segre of commander-in-chief should be in the future, as it has been in the past, a position to aspire to, which is a laudable ambi- tion; @ position that will lend additional luster to any name, however great, if its duties are well performed, After eulogizing the G.A.R. at length the commander continued: “THE GROWTH OF OUR ORGANIZATION has been steady and healthy. Strong as it is it has never been and I trust never will be used for partisan purposes or to gratify the personal ambitions of any man or set of men.” ‘The greatest gain during the year has been in the department of Missouri. Eight depart- ments show a gain in membership in good Standing of 15,324, distributed as follows: Illinois, 1,283; Iowa, 1,418; Nebraska, 1,709; Pennsylvania, 1,746; New York, 1,995; Ohio, 2,008; Wisconsin, 2,023; Missouri, 3,652, The net gain in membership during the year (in good standing) was 21,431.” Commander Warner referred briefly to the reports of his staff officers, the decisions of the judge advocate general, the completion of a history of the G.A.R., the census of soldiers and sailors, and then took up the subject of the flag and the public schools, He said: “I commend to each department the patri- otic practice of the posts in the department of New York of presenting on the 22d of February, the birthday of the Father of His Country, the American flag to such public schools as are not yet in possession of one, Let the children receive the stars and stripes from the men who placed their bodies as a living wall between it and those who would tear it down, The future citizens of the republic are being educated in the public schools; the flag of their country should ever be before them as an object-lesson. From its stars and stripes LET THEM LEARN THE STORY OF LIBERTY. as exemplified in the lives of Washington, Lin- coln, Grant and the patriotic sons of the repub- lic, who, by their valor, suffering and death, rendered the imperishable fame of this illustrious _trio possible. Let them learn to look upon the American , ‘by Z ith as much reverence as did the Israelites look upon the ark of the covenant, Let the 8,000,000 of boys and girls in our elementary schools be thus imbued with a reverence for the flag and all it represents. Then the future of the republic is assured and that flag shall forever wave ‘o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.’” The matter of pensions was reserved by the commander for the conclusion of his address. Preceding this he alluded gracefully in turn to topics connected with the Grant college at Mt. McGregor, memorial day observanc: the organization, charity, woman’s sons of veterans and military telegraphers, The conclusion of the address was as follows: PENSIONS AND THE GRAND ARMY, “The committee on pensions have been un- able to make any progress in securing favor- able consideration by Congress of the pension act recommended by the Columbus encamp- ment. The reason for this failure will be given by the committee, and I know that its members are in no way to blame. The question of pen- sion legislation will come before you again for discussion and recommendation, “The number of comrades entitled to seats in this encampment reaches one thousand, the largest representation ever accredited to an encampment. A deliberative body so , its members coming from all parts of the Union, representing all shades of opinion, it is but natural that all will not agree in the discussion, but when the discussion has closed and the encampment has acted its,action should receive the earnest aths in voice of the encampment represents the best thought and ment of the majorit d should become a law unto the ene The | Grand Army of the Republic has \ clesd’ “ite “fall intense in peami tian: e ice in pension lation because of division in its The measures recommended by the national encampment should not be Magy mim by con- flicting measures urged by departments or posts.

Both Leaders Making Preparations— Langston’s Significant Silence. Special Dispatch to Taz EveNtno Star. Pererssvna, Va., August 28, 1889. The political contest in Virginia this fall promises to be one of the most aggressive fights for political supremacy that has ever been known in the history of the state, and its re- sults will be watched with the keenest interest, The main issue at stake is the election of a governor to succeed the present chief magis- trate, Fitzhugh Lee. The candidates before the people are Capt. Phil McKinney, a promi- nent lawyer of Farmville and a leading demo- erat of the old dominion, and Gen. William Mahone, who for several years past has been the chairman of the republican state committee, Both are good stump speakers and some lively chin music may be expected between now and next November, Capt. McKinney has not yet entered upon his campaign oratory, neither has Gen. Mahone, and it is not known where either of these candidates for gubernatorial honors contest in the Lucas county delegation, in which Neal, to all ap) the wrangle and a majo: Hon. M. D.

The full preliminaries were ar- ranged as speedily as possible. After the usual hand-sbake time was called at 9:35. CAUTIOUS SPARRING. In the first round the men sparred cautiously fora moment, when La Blanche led with his right, but Dempsey avoided the blow by jump- ing back. La Blanche again led and caught Dempsey lightly on the wind. A clinch fol- lowel. This was repeated as the round closed. Dempsey seemed to have slightly the best of the fight from the second to the fourteenth round, though the Marine got in some telling blows. Fouls were twice charged against La Blanche, but not allowed. Dempsey continued to have the best of the fight, and in the nineteenth round he opened with three well-aimed blows on the Marine's neck, and before the close he had put four more in the same place, the last of which sent La Blanche heavily to the floor, being the first knock-down. La Blanche, though suffering, rallied in the twentieth and landed some good blown, In the following round Dempsey renewed hi tack and landed five times on the Ma neck, The latter struck out viciously, but Dempsey avoided punisnment. In the twenty-second round Dempsey con- tinued to pursue his aggressive tactics and used his left with pt effecton the Marine's neck below the chin, the same spot he bad bam- mered for several rounds in the twenty-third round La Bi showing the effect of his previous punishment. He was evidently weakening and ALLOWED DEMPSEY TO DO THE FORCING. Round 24.—La Blanche pounded Dempsey heavily on the ribs during a clinch. Very little waa done during the round. Little or nothing was done in the twenty-fifth, but in the twenty- sixth Dempsey forced the Marine into the cor- ner noe pa him on the neck until he staggered like a drunken man. Before the close, however, La Blanche canght Dempsey a hard one in the neck. Several vicious blows by Dempsey were the only feature of the twenty-seventh round, and the four following rounds the Marine did little except stand up well under the FIERCE SLUGGING HE RECEIVED IN TRE NECK. In the thirtieth round, however, he gave Dempsey a terrific right hander on the chest which seemed to stagger the latter fora mo- ment, but he recovered and showered half a dozen blows on the Marine's head and in the latter's effort to escape he slipped to the floor. Thirty-first round was exceedingly tame, but when the men came up for the thirty-second round Dempsey attempted to force matters. He was by far the fresher man of the two and with but few exceptions had had the fight all his own way up to the presenttime. He forced La Blanche into his corner and pounded him unmercifully. The latter received the stagger- ing blows on his head and neck but stood e; under them well, The men gradually worke to the centre of the ring, and while Dempsey still continued to find Blanche’s neck, the latter whirled arourd suddenly and caught Dempsey a terrible blow on the j THE NONPAREIL WENT DOWN LIKE ‘HOT. He fell heavily upon his face and blood spurted out upon the floor of the ring. The ten seconds went by amid intense excitement. Dempsey struggled bravely to rise, but before he had reached his feet, weak and staggering, the tims had expired and the referee awarded the fight to La Blanche. The sudden termina- tion of the fight was prise to every man in the club room. A chance blow lost Dempsey the battle at atime when it seemed that the Marine was in his powe: ———2___ TRIKERS WIN. The Dock Companies Said to Have Conceded Their Demands. Loxpon, Aug. 26.—At a meeting of the strik- ing dockmen this morning Mr. Burns, the leader of the strikers, said he had heard that 4,000 Belgians woull be imported unless the strike was ended. Heat once telegraphed to the Belgian workingmen’s union and blocked that move of the employers. The strikers have reached the number of 150,000. The leaders express a determination to press their claims and march through the democratic congressman elected @ republican district in the state of Ohio.

There is less intimidation and affairs have generally quieted down. In the vicinity of the St. Pancras depot, however, there is still some excitement. Many coal heavers are resuming work at an advance in wages, which course is violently opposed by the strikers, who urge that no work should be resumed until the ad- vance demanded is conceded to all. A mob of howling strikers numbering several thousands attacked coal vans leaving the yards under a lice escort. They divided the chains and compelling the drivers to return. Ine short while 6,000 strikers had arrived on the scene and started for the coal yards. THE COMPANIES URGED TO YIELD. The wharfingers, shippers and merchants are pressing the dock companies to yield to the strikers. They declare that the dock com nies, by their action, are driving trade to other ports. The companies complain of the pressure that is being brought upon them to recede from their position, and their representatives promise to answer those that are importuning them to settle with the men later. There are more men at work today than at any time since the strike was inaugurated. The mail steamers are being loaded slowly. The tea car men have resumed work. The prospects for e set- tlement are more hopeful. Several ships with of sugar are lying in the Thames and at mock. The sugar was all bought up to- day in fifteen minutes at 6 pence advance and sent by train to London.
