Rocxvitie, Mp., Sept. & The thirty-sixth annual exhibition of the Ag- Ficultural society of Montgomery county com- menced here this morning under favorable cir- cumstances, but with not a very large crowd in atteudance. The grounds are in good order, and the speaker’s stand, hal) and other build- | ings are handsomely decorated with evergreens, flowers, &c. The display of stock in all de- partments is very large, embracing some of the best blood in the country. In the line of ma- chinery and agricultural implements the dis- play is creditable, but not as large as usual. In the ball the display of vegetables, fruits, flow- ets, home-made fabrics, works of art and culi- nary products is such as to reflect great credit on the exhibitors, Inthe exhibition hull the display from the experimental station, Mary- land agricultural college, excites very Pog: in- terest, The display is in charge of .

Loxpos, Sept. 4—There is a marked increase this morning in the number of dockmen re- suming work, and business on the wharves pre- sents a rather brisk aspect. John Burus delivered an address to the strikers to-day at Tower Hill. He denounced arbitration through intermediaries and denied the reports that the dockmen were going to work. He said it was expected that strikes would be inaugurated in Glasgow to-day and in Southampton to-morrow. ‘The cap and officers of the Peninsular and Oriental line of steamships, assisted a a large force of lascars, today began the loading of the steamers of that line. A crowd of strikers belonging to the coal trimmers’ league attacked the lascars, and the police were com- pelled to fire upon them. One of the strikers was fatally wounded, LIVERPOOL DOCKMEN WIN. Livenroot, Sept. 4.—The gtrike of the dock- men has ended, the employes having conceded the advance demanded by the men, THE OCCULTATION OF JUPITER. Prof. Brooks Secures Several Photo- graphs of the Phenomena. Gexeva, N.Y., Sept. 4.—Prof. Brooks, director of the Smith observatory, successfully ob- served the occultation of Jupiter by the moon last night. He also secured several photographs of the phenomena in its different phases, one showing Jupiter half covered by the moon. ‘These are the first pho- tographs ever secured of this phenomena and the results are highly interesting and valuable, gene hon henin SENATORS LUSSED. They Find Difficulty in the Dressed Beef Investigation. Curcaco, Sept. 4.—The senatorial investiga- tion into the dressed beef and transportation industries arrived at a position this morning when it became necessary toresort to vigorous measures or acknowledge the whole affair to be a stupendous farce, G. F. Swift, the millionaire dressed beef dealer, had been subpoened for the third time, and it was big. ope that he had agreed to ap- r before the commission this morning. He idn'tcome. The messenger who served the summons was called. “What did Mr. Swift say?” asked Senator Farwell. “He said he would be here without fail.” “You are sure you saw him in person?” asked Senator Vest, who was evidently Iaboring under suppressed indignation. The messenger ac- curately described the delinquent packer. “You saw Mr, Armour?” “J did.” “And what did he say.” “He told me it would be extremely inconve- nient for him to be here at this hour, but he would send word as to when he would come.” “And he has sent no word?” “No.” SENATOR COKE TOOK A HDGE PIECE OF PLUG TO- aad Antietaws | watchword, prohibition,” “In BACCO from his pocket and transferring the large half to his mouth rolled it about reflectively. It began to look serious and the three Senators leaned over the table in whispered cousulation. Just then Secretary George I. Williams of the Union stock Fd and transit company entered the room. He was ordered the other day to again appear before the commission with certain statistics of shipments and a list of stockholders in his company. At the request of Senator Vest, Mr. Williams took a seat in the witness chair. “You have that list?” asked Senator Farwell Mr. Williams murmured, “No.” “Why not?” demanded Senator Vest, with flashing eyes. “I thought best to see counsel about the mat- ter and have been advised not to furnish the ‘ “Then you decline as secretary of the com- pan: by produce a list of the stockholders?” “I do. “That is all, sir.” Mr. Williams was only too glad to get away and again THE SENATORS CONSULTED TOGETHER. President John B. Sherman of the Stock Yards company was the next witness, He strolled into the room and was sworn, “Who are the principal purchasers of cattle?” he was asked. “The packers and the shippers—men like Eastman & Munroe—who buy for eastern arties, and dressed beef dealers like Armour, orris Swift and the Libbeys.” “Do you know who the stockholders are?” ‘0; that is the secretary's business.” hat do you charge shippers for hay?” “We charge $1 for prairie hay and $1.50 for tame hay. We also get 25 cents for yardage.” “Can a shipper buy hay outside?” “No; that is the ouly way we have to gaina revenue.” Mr. Sherman said that there had been 20.000 | head of cattle in the yards at one time, The | charge for yardage included considerable serv- ice, as the stock yards company furnished the tracks connecting with the railroads, THE AMOUNT OF STOCK. Senator Vest—‘Your secretary said there was $4,500,000 in stock of the company. Is this true?” “I think that is the amount.” what is the market price of that h, it varies, Sometimes it is at par. I have known it to be as low as 90 or as high as 1.15." “It is not quoted on the stock exchange?” “I think not.” “And there is little sold?” “Very little, I believe.” Senator Coke asked the witness if there were any relations between the stock yard at Omaha aud Kansas City and those at Chicago. Mr. Sherman said there were none whatever. Then he was excused, and after vainly waiting for some time for word from Mr. Armour the commission took a recess until 2 o'clock. Senator Farwell was asked what the commis- sion proposed to do im case Messrs. Armour, Swift and Morris failed to make their appear- re = have not considered such an emergency as yet.” “Will you take measures to force them to come in?” 1e cannot say, I do not think it will be at all mecessary.” _ ——_>—___ New York Prohibitionists’ Conventio: Syuacuse, N.Y., Sept. 4—The prohibition state convention opened at Shakespeare ball this morning with a prayer meeting, presided were present at the probibition convention held in this city one year ago. Many Indien are nt as delegates. Around hall are fi the mottoes “Save the boys,” “For God end home and native land,” “Our and our we trust,” Promptly at 11 o'clock the convention was calied to order and Hopkins of Rochester THE PRESIDENT’S ARRIVAL. He Leaves for Philadelphia This After- noon, | President and Mrs. Harrison, Rev. Dr. Scott, Secretary and Mrs, Halford, and Miss. Sanger arrived at the Baltimore and Ohio depot from Deer Park this afternoon at 2:35. «They should have been in at 2 o'clock, but the train was delayed. They drove at once to the White house where hasty preparations were made for the President's trip to Philadelphia, Postmaster General Wanamaker and Secre- tary Proctor called st the White House about 2 o'clock. Mr. Proctor, after waiting a while went back to the War department. Mr. Wanamaker waited, ns he had an apppoint- ment with the President. It was « quarter to 3 o'clock when the Presi- dent and Mrs. Harrison reached the White House. They were accompanied by Dr. Scott and Private Secretary Huiford. ‘The whole party looked weil. a ey leave again for Philadelphia at 40’clock. They have less than an hour A remain at the White House, on account of delay of the train, but the President had appointments with Judge Little of Ohio, Postmaster General Wan- mie and one or two other gentlemen, ong them Representative-elect Evans, As- tant Secretary Bacheller, who saw the Presi- ut for amoment. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. The Annual Report of Chief Parris—Im- portant Recommendations. The Commissioners have received from Chief Parris of the fire department his annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1839, In his re- port he calls attention to the necessity for more adequate means for extinguishing fires and saving life, and recommends that sufii- cient money be appropriated for the purchase of ground and _ the building of @ track house to accommodate the chemi- calengine. He suggests that this house be located in the neighborhood of the principal hotels, theaters, lumber yards, planing mills, &c, He repeats his _recom- mendation that the salaries of the foremen and engineers be increased from $1,000 to $1,100 and $1,050 respectively, also for the promotion of ten privates to the rank of assistant foremen at $900 per annum each and ten privates to the rank of assistant hostlers at asalary of $840 each. He further recommends the purchase of two aerial turn-table trucks at a cost of $7,000. For the efficiency of the service he says it is desired that NONE BUT STRONG MEN should be employed. There are at present two privates in the department partly disabled who he recommends be provided for as watch- men. He repeats his recommendation that two additional privates be cago to each company and one to each truck house, In reference to the relief fund he says that at resent all members have one dollar a month aehactea from ier pay, and the pension roll amounts to $110, leaving one dollar to be in- vested in bonds each month. The surplus in the United States Treasury amounts to $1,950 invested in bonds, and $4 cash on hand. After deducting from the above figures $75 for funeral expenses when occasion demands the surplus will soon be exhausted and no prospect for the men who at present pay one dollar per month ever receiving any benefit. In connection with the above he favors the recommendaiion of Auditor Petty in reference to the application of a cer- tain amount of the fines collected for violating ordinances for the benefit of the firemen’s re- lief fund. During the year 49 eae for positions were received, 17 of which received appoint- ment. The report of Mr. C. B. Robinson, the yeterenarian of the District accompanies the raport, and shows that of the 51 horses on hand 23 are unfit for use. He recommends that his pay be increased to $1,000 per annum, SUBURBAN WANTS. The sections known as Mount Pleasant, Lin- coln avenue and Anacostia, he said, are sadly in need of water facilities, for in case of fire from the inflammable nature of the buildings it would be next to an impossibility for the department to render any assistance. In connection with the above he recommends that water muairs be extended out Lincoln ave- nue, lith street and over the Eastern branch, and that these three sections be included in the fire alarm cireutt. He also recommends that water mains be extended out 32d street for a distance of four blocks, During the year there were 255 alarms, the estimated loss entailed being $140,953, covered by an insurance of 879,734 The number of fire plugs in the Dis- trict at present is 1,062, which he says is insufficient for protention from fire and should be increased at least 500. The ex- penses for the department for the year were $124,989.95. The report of Fire Marshal Drew also accompanies the report. For the coming fiscal year an appropriation of $133,340 is asked for. In conclusion Chief Parris recommends that the salary of the fire marshal be increased to $1,200. Report vf Superintendent Miles. Superintendent Miles of the telegraph and telephone service has also submitted to the Commissioners his twenty-fifth annual report. He says that the fire-alarm telegraph covers Washington and Georgetown scmewhat gener- ally, but has not as many signal boxes within the city limits as are needed—only 142, whereas 200 should be employed. He refers to the unprotected places of Mt. Pleasant, Le Droit park, Uniontown and the entire heights north and northwest of the cit; against fire, and says he thinks 100 ad- ditional fire alarm signal boxes are necessary. He says that it is his impression that signal boxes should be placed so conveniently and be so numerous as to be quickly reached from every cluster of houses where fires are likely to occur. THE POLICE PATROL SY8TEM, Next inimportance comes the police patrol system, The total number of street stations at present now number 85, He refers to the work done by _ these call boxes as being very great, He says that pipe has demonstrated the usefulness of the patrol system as an adjunct to the efficiency of the of the police service. He says that the law pro- hibiting the erection of additional OVERHEAD WIRES for telegraph and telephone purposesin the absence of the necessary funds for putting them underground has become and will continue to be very embarrassing. He says he is unable see very clearly how the efliciency of our telegraph and tele- phone service can be fully maintained without, ou the one hand, a relaxation of the prohibi- tion, or, on the other hand, by far the better plan of liberal appropropriations for putting all the District wires underground. He says that be thinks the time has come for commencing the good work of putting the wires under ground and requests that an ap- propriation of $2,000 be asked for in this con- nection. During the year there were 283,087 messages sent over the patrol system, The expenditures for the year were $16,737.16. For the coming year he asks for $21,160, UNDERGROUND WIRES, * He recommends that a general plan for an underground system be adopted and that an appropriation for that purpose of $250,000, which shall include the enlargement of the tire-alarm system, be asked for.

Superintendent Porter Appoints Him Principal Assistant in the Census Office. Superintendent of Census Porter today rec- ommended to the Secretary of the Interior the appointment of Mr. Albert F. Childs of Ohio as chief clerk of the census office, Mr. Childs was for number of years chief clerk of the government print- ing office, and there achieved an envi- able reputation as an executive officer. On the incoming of the present administration Mr. Childs was one of the most prominent candiates for the position of public printer, and if he did not succeed in getting that place he had at least the melancholy satisfaction that he was closer to success than any of the losers, He was strongly recommended for the chief clerkship of the census office by Secretary Windom, Senators Ingalls, Farwell and Chandler, Representative Butter- worth, Major Powell and a host of other promi- nent public men, all of whom know him inti- mately and appreciate his good qualities, Mr. Childs is well known in this city, where he has been connected with various business enterprises, He will enter upon duty October 1, relieving Mr. Jas.

The Charges Against John Norris Dis- missed by Judge Mills, John Norris, the young man who was recently exonerated by the coroner's jury of a charge of killing Mollie Boswell, is still charged with as- saulting the woman and with man slaughter, The latter case was set for trial in the Police Court this afternoon. Mr. T. C. Taylor appeared for the accused and stated that Norris was exonerated by the coroner's jury, but now was brought here to answer the charge of manslaughter—a pro- ceeding unheard of before, .. The court asked if this was the fact. Mr. Annes stated that it was so, but there were witnesses here who were not before the coroner's jury. Mr. Taylor suggested that the court was without jurisdiction, and that if any party was aggrieved he could go to the grand jury. The court said that the court in heating this case had two questions to decide, viz: If a crime had been committed, and whether there was probable cause for holding the defendant. The facts being conceded that the coroner's jury had passed on the case he held that he was without jurisdiction, and dismissed the case and Gece the prisoner. Mr. Clagett called attention to the assault case, and it being stated that it was the same case, that was also dismissed, govilesema earn FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. The New York Stock Market.

After soventy-eight days of continuous suf- fering and helplessness Maurice Adler has come toe realization of his condition. From the time he was shot by Frank Ward np to this morning he never even intimated that death was present possibility so far as he was concerned, although relatives and doo- tors had agreed a long time ago that there could beno recovery. At about 5 o'clock this morning Adler awoke after about two hours of troubled slumber. He was much calmer than usual and there were none of the appear- ancesof the delirium which has heretofore marked the majority of his waking moments, For nearly an hour he was silent and then he asked the nurse to SEND FOR DE, WAGNER. The doctor was sleeping ins room on the floor above, and in» couple of minutes he was at the bedside of the patient, “Oh, doctor,” said Adler, in plaintive tones, “I feel very bad; so sick, so sick. Doctor, I'm sips to die.” ‘The doctor did all in his power to persuade Adler that he was getting along nicely, and finally gave him stimulants, but the sick man ‘was unconvinced and he several times repeated the words of his surrender: ‘I’m going to die, soy geen to die.” The brave heart had given up the unequal strife. GROWING WEAKER, Although there has been nochange in Adler's ®ppearance since this morning the attendants know that their patient is much weaker now than he was twenty-fours ago, At noon his pulse was throbbing away at 134, a rise of 16 since yesterday evening, but the tempera- ture—102 degrees—was about the same. Last ine was an extremely unsatisfactory one. Adler would sleep for a couple of hours and then would fret and talk nonesense for an hour or more before he could again fall asleep. But one small dose of morphine was given him; the necessity for larger and more frequent injections vanished with the pain. Between 8 and 9 o'clock he suffered from a slight chill, but there has been no recurrence of that trouble, ADLER'S MENTAL CONDITION is unimproved. Ordinarily when awake he chattersaway in a most ridiculous fashion; wants to be put to bed or insists upon being taken away on thecars. He asks for every- thing he can think of, and when his unreason- able requests are not honored he—since aerate Ripert “You might just as we how.” His delirious spells can a. in upon by persistent questioning and he will jive rational answers for awhile. The lucid terval of early this morning is the only voluntary one noticed for a couple of weeks ast, . A greater willingness to take the nourish- ment offered him has marked the last two or three days and now heis assimilating as much milk as is good for him, DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
