MASONIC VETERANS DINE. A Notable Gathering at the Annual Dinner of the Association. The manhood of Masonry in Washington, minus that part which is suffering from the grip, had a first-class dinner last night and a jolly good time at the National hotel at the an- nual dinner of the Masonic veteran association. It was the eleventh birthday of the organiza- tion, and the occasion will stand out as a memor- able one, even in the long list of similar enter- tainments in the past. The great table was sur- rounded by fully hundred repre- sentative Masons, most of them gray jand bald and rosy-cheeked, with eyes full of remembrances and whetted ap- petites. At the head of the board sat the venerable president of the organization, Gen. Albert Pike, whose flowing whige pair and venerable form lent a peculiar Kesh ad the event. The menu was delightful, embracin: | every delicacy afforded by the markets, an | Stewards Wm. 8. Roose and John R. Thompson beamed with satisfaction as the courses came and went. Brother Mason Crosby, one of the proprietors of the hotel, kept a watchful eye over the proceedings with a solicitous air and a tender care that smoothed things along wonderfully. THE GUESTS, On the right of the president sat the grand master of the District, Jas. A. Sample, one of the guests of the evening, and on his left was Rep- resentative Richardson of Tennessee, an honor- ary member of the association, The other mvited guests were Representatives Allen of Michigan, Boothman of Ohio, Peters of Kan- sas, ex-Assistant Postmaster General Stephen- son of Illinois, ex-Representative McKenzie of Kentucky, Elwood E. Thorne of New York, James H. Pudney of Indiana, H. 8. Lubbock of San Franciseo, Alex. McMaster of Buffalo, Hon. George H. Moore of Alabama, Campbell H. Johnson of Kentucky, C.

Wood, Frank Sehwart, L P. Noyes, H, A. Whallon, W. P. Davis and Chas, C. Stouffer of Washington, THE MEMBERS of the association present were as follows: George B. Abrams, Thomas Adams, Algernon A. Aspinwall, George W. Balloch, H. W. Bar- rett, Joseph Barton, H, W. Birge, Asaph L. Bliss, Wiki m LB. Brown, Wm. W. Case, Kobert F. Crowell, Wm. W. Davis, M. A. Dillon. A. T. C.

It was about 10 o'clock when President Pike rapped on the table with a huge soup spoon and formally opened “the feast of reason and the flow of soul.” Speeches were called for from Grand Master Sampie, Representatives Allen, Boothman, Richardson and Peters, Hon. Mr. McKenzie, Gen, Stephenson, Mr, Thorne, Mr. Isaacs, Dir. Varker and Mr. Johnson (Ken- tucky). Brother M. M. Parker acted as toast master whenever the occasion demanded the services of such an individual, which was not often, for it was with difficulty that Chairman Pike discriminated among the host of toast pro- posers who sprang up whenever 4 speaker sat down. There were no set toasts, but the ora- tors present managed to carry “the feast of reason” along until miduight, TRE WORLD'S FAIR, The world’s fair, of course, formed a favorite topic for discussion and the claims of the vari- ous city candidates were ably presented in order. Mr. Allen said he favored Chicago in his allegiance to his own state, Michigan, but that he should propose an amendment to the pending bills providing for a fair in Chicago in 1892, one in St. Louis in 2292, one in Washing- tom in 2692 and another in New York in 3092. Washington's side of the question was ably pre- sented by Mr. Parker. Music was rendered during the evening by Messrs. Herndon Mor- sell, Geo. H. Lillibridge and C. P, Hancock, ac- companied by Prof. Holer. WHAT THE ASSOCIATION 18, The Masonic veteran association is composed of all Masons in good standingin the jurisdic- tion of the District of Columbia who have been inthe order twenty-one years. It was organ- ized and is conducted sole! bok social purposes, The present officers are: Albert Pike, president; Villiam W. Upton, vice president; Clement W. Benuett, secoud vice president; Abner T. Long- ley, secretary; Ezra L. Stephens, treasurcr; William 8. Roose, John BR. ‘Thompson, stew- ards, Last evening just before the banquet the following additional members were elected: Francis A. Keed of Alexandria; Job W. Angus, Moses M. Bane, Fredk. Wa. Mitchell, Wm. N. Wood, District of Columbia; A. E. Stephenson, Ulinois, aud Campbell H. Johnson, Kentucky. a WHAT A CIGARETTE DID. Five Men Instantly Killed and Many Injured. For some weeks one hundred laborers have been at work trying to dig down a small moun- tain in Wilkes county, N.C., and make a cut through it for the Wilkesboro extension of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley railroad, Several days ago they began to drill a large hole into a rock for the purpose of blowing it up with giant powder. Wednesday they completed that work and soon had two full kegs of pow- der packed into the rock. George Hendly was adjusting the fuse and at the same time care- lessly puffing away on a cigarette. He was al- most ready to touch fire to the end of the fuse end the Other laborers were preparing to run when a spark dropped from Hendly's cigarette and ignited the powder, which in an instant sent up an explosion which jarred the earth for miles around. The rock was sent dashing up in a thousand pieces and an entire side of the mountain was blown np. Several menu Were sent whirling skyward by pieces of the broken rock, and falling they were soon buried by dropping earth. Some were knocked to the ground and killed by rocks or dirt falling upon them and others escaped without any injury. It was some twenty minutes after the explosion before the smoke passed awny and the ing cries of the dying were painful in the ex- treme, Some men were found with a larg rock upon a leg which was crushed into the ground and others partially buried vy dropping dirt, When those who escaped unhurt got to work digging out the dead it was found that five had been killed, as follows: Samuel Culls, aged twenty-three; Thomas Emroy, aged thirty-eight; J. R. Falls, Hendly, aged forty-on gene Moore, aged niveteen. It is impossible to obtain a list of the wounded, but reports say thirteen are hutt, among whom are Superintendent E. K. Elber. see. The Scrap-Iron Suit Ended. After being out nearly twenty-four hours tho jury in the celebrated serap-iron case at Ailen- town, Pa., rendered a verdict this afternoon in favor of Storm & Hopkins, who were charged by the Catasauqua manufacturing company with defrauding it by false weights in scrap iron to the amount of over $16,000. Twenty- four ballots were taken before the jury arrived at a conclusion. ———_+e0-—_____ Tug Wilson Dead, Tug Wilson, a printer known all over the country, was found dead at the top of the At- lanta Constitution building yesterday.

Lecture in Baltimore. The first of a series of lectures arranged by the Protestant Episcopal Brotherhood of Balti- more was delivered in that city last night by Mr. A. RB, Spofford, librarian of Congress, who spoke on the interesting theme, ‘The Founding of Washington.” After reciting the historical facts concerning the naming of the capital city and the federal district, by which the great names of Columbus and Washington were linked together, Mr. Spofford sketched the great leading causes which have ever prevailed to bring about the location of great cities near to jtidewater or upon navigable rivers. The obvious advantages derived by a capital city, from such a location are a double accessibility, cheaper means of transport and communica- tion, thas lending greater facilities for com- merce. To these considerations centrality of territorial position and even salubrity of cli- a were pose iene f ockees to yield. some of the great capitals of Europe possesses muc! Slevatien of aie, while all oe uearl allof them are remote from the geographical center of their respective countries, St. Petersburg is in the extreme northwest of Russia; Rome is on one side of Italy; ——— hangs on the southeast verge of Turkey; Lisbon 1s in the west of Portugal; London is in the southeast of England; Brussels is in the north of Belgium, and Paris by no means near to the center of France. None of the great American cities is | built far above the sea level any more'than are ‘the capitals of Europe. ‘THE SITE CONTROVERSY. The early struggles and debates in the con- stitutional convention and in the first Congress over the vexed question of the proper site for the seat of government were sketched at length. It was shown that the controversy ex- tended over several years; that a location on the Susquehanna or the Delaware, rather than upon the banks of the Potomac, was urged with great pertinacity by the members from New England and Pennsylvania; that much acri- mony, sectional spirit and even implied threat of dissolving the newly tormed union of the states attended the discussion; that a very decided majority at first existed against a site #0 southerly as the present District of Colum- bia; that Germantown, a suburb of Philadel- phia, was at first agreed to by both houses; that the House had twice voted to establish the capital on the Susquehanna, and that finally the site on the Potomac was accepted by the narrow majority of two votes in the Senate and three votes in the House, These votes, moreover, could not have been had, and the question might have remained open for years but for two circumstances: First, the accession of North Carolina to the union, giving the south votes enough, witha few from Pennsylvania, to carry the measure; and second, a grand compromise of interests and prejudices so often seen in legislation, by which the assumption of state debts (about $20,000,000) by the United States was made to carry by an agreement that Pennsylvania should have the seat of govern- ment (then at New York) for ten years, after which it should be established on the Potomac river. LEFT TO WASHINGTON’S JUDGMENT. It is a notable fact that this primary act of Congress ostensibly fixing the site of the fed- eral capital actually detined no locality what- ever as the ultimate seat of government. It gave to the President (Washington) the sole power to select any site on the river Potomac between the mouth of the Eastern branch (or Anacostia) and Williamsport, Md., near Hagerstown, a distance of 100 miles, following the windings of the river. Washington had it in his power, under the provisions of this act, to have founded the capital at Harper's Ferr: 50 miles west of Baltimore instead of 40 miles south of that city. He might even have lo- cated it, at his discretion, at the mouth of the Conoccoheague, 100 miles farther up the river than the present capital; and there is a con- temporaneous letter of Oliver Wolcott extant which says: “In 1800 we are to go to the Indian place with the long name on the Potomac.” Washington, however, with that consum- mate judgment which marked every act of his career, selected just the one spot in the entire range of the territory prescribed by Congress which combined the advantages of the unfail- ing tidewater navigation, convenient access from Baltimore and the other great cities northward, and superb natural sites alike for the public buildings and for the varied wants of a populous city. The ‘magnificent dis- tances,” once the theme of so much cheap ridicule, are found not a whit too liberal now that Washington has grown from a straggling viliage in the woods into a well-built and well- paved emporium for a population which has i no means begun to reach its destined high limit. MARYLAND'S INTEREST. ‘The liberal interest taken by Maryland in the successful location and growth of Washington was evinced by noble contributions in money and by an additional loan of $100,000 at a critical period when Congress had failed to make appropriations to carry forward the pub- lie buildings, and President Washington ap- pealed with success the state of Maryland for the loan. The various agitations for the removal of the capital westward were referred to and their failure described, The speaker closed with a glowing tribute to the national capital as the seat of the political union of a great nation. With its unsurpassed natural advantages, ite sightly and beautiful location, its moderate aud genial climate, its suburban scenery and attractions, its, magnifi- cent public buildings, its fine broad avyenu and umbrageous streets, its fine galleries of art, its noble libraries and extensive museums of science, its national observatory, whose tele- scope has added new stars and satwilites to the sky, its men of learning devoted to every field of research, its illustrious dead, its forum of debate, where the great questions of con- stitutional law and national welfare have been | preme, and it is « decided, its records and natioual archives, so rich in political history, the @ perennial attrac: Hsee THE GLASS STRIKE ENDED. General Rejoicing in New Jersey Over its Termination. There is genéral rejoicing throughout south New Jersey, where there are extensive glass manufactories, that the great strike is over. The last factory signed yesterday the articles of agreement, whereby the manufacturers will accede to the principal terms of the workmen, and hundreds of men will immediately go to work at their trade again for the first time since last June, Not only are the workmen jubilant, but the townspeople generally, and not the least the manufacturers themselves, who are heartily glad to resume work. The apprentice question, a vital one to both parties, was the cause of this stubborn fight, the longest and most bitterly fought of any on record. Neither warty would give an iota. For sixlong months save hundreds of glass workers been eagerly watching and waiting and merely existing on the 64 to $6 a week which they got from the union aud hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of manufacturing plauts were rusting out. Master Workman Louis D. Arrington arrived | in Bridgeton, N.J., yesterday and with his as- | sistuuts held a conference with the Cohansey glass company, one of the largest in the east. ere @ settlement was soon effected and the | officials then went to the East Lake glass works and met with like success, Allof the other factories have now agreed to start up at once with union men and have agreed to most of the terms. j ————+ee.

Mr. Spofford Delivers an Interesting|A Pretty Girl Runs Off With and Marries a Man She Dislikes. David Garrett, a farm hand, was refused dis- dainfully by Laura Johnson, the pretty daughter of a Howellsville, Pa., farmer, and the fatber forbade him the premises, One day last week Laura went to visit her sunt in Chester. Garrett in some mysterious way learned of this visit, and shortly after her ar- rival appeared at the aunt's house and told Laura that her grandmother, residing in West Chester, was dangerously ill and bad sent him to take her there, The young woman appeared reluctant to go, but her aunt urged her to go, and she finally yielded to her aunt's persuasions and accompanied the young man, After a couple of days, Miss Johnson not returning home and the father not hearing anything from her, he decided to make an investigation. He discovered that his danghter had not visited her grandmother and after leaving her aunt's all trace of her was lost. The old entleman was nearly heart broken. He feared that his child had been murdered, These fears, how- ever, were set at rest, when he received @ marked copy of a Trenton. N. J., newspaper containing the advertisement of the marriage of the missing couple. The general impression in the neighborhood of the Ppeed woman's home is that Garrett compelled her to wed him. eee pal AN ENGLISH OUTRAGE. The War Ship Enterprise Asked to Pay for Anchorage Privileges. Another international episode between England and the United States has just been discovered by the New York Herald's London correspondent. The American man-of-war Enterprise visited the beautiful Dartmouth harbor a few days ago and was taken by the pilot to the usual mooring buoy. A day or two later, when the war ship was about to de- part, the town harbor authorities presented a small bill for anchorage privileges. The cap- tain indignantly refused to pay the bill and sailed. Yesterday the ship returned to the same harbor with the embalmed body of ex- Minister Pendleton on board. The bill was again presented and the captain again became indignant, but the authorities insistedand the captain sent the bill to Minister Lincoln, who sustained the captain in his action. The affair is creating much talk in American circles, A rich Philadelphian became angry and offered to pay the bill himself, but the captain re- f He said the bill was Improper and il- legal and should not be paid. The foreign of- fice will probably have to settle th> matter, eee A Convict’s Suicide. Henry Jackson, a colored man who was re- cently sentenced to three years and three months in the Eastern penitentiary for an outrageous crime, committed suicide yesterday morning in his cell at the county prison at Harrisburg, Pa, He first attempted to hang himself with a rope made of strips of his blanket, He then cut his throat.

A most remarkable escape from death oc- curred yesterday in New York. A woman fired 8 bullet point blank at her sister's head, The girl's thick skull saved her. The bullet flat- tened against her frontal bone and saved her life, The woman who was shot was Mary Pot- ter and the woman who tired the revolver was her crazy sister Ellen. She doubtless intended to murder her older sister,Elizabeth, who slept with Mary, The three sisters live together on the third floor of the house in which the shoot- ing was done and are dress makers. Six months ago Ellen broke down from overwork, being a v im of nervous prostration. By a phy- ian’s advice she was sent by her sisters to a Sanitarium in Geneva, N.Y. Five weeks ago she came home. Her malady turned her old affection for her sister Elizabeth into suspicion aud hatred. She believed she had been be- witched by Elizabeth. The sistevs slept in one room, the two sane ones together and Eilen on @ lounge. In the grey of the dawn the latter arose stealthily, locked the doors and took out the keys. Then she went to the bedside of her sisters and did the shooting. The surgeon at first sight deemed the case hopeless, but after acareful examination, to the astonishment of the police officials, dug out the bullet, flattened against the skuli to the diameter of a nickel 5-cent piece, It had broken no bones and ip- flicted little harm, Farmers Association Calls a Convention. The executive committee of the farmers ace sociation of South Carolina, a political organi« zation which bas developed great strength within the past two years, has issued an ad- dress to the democracy of the state charging that element of the party now governing the state with gross mismanagement. extrava- gance and inefiiciency, and declaring that the state never has had a republican form of gov- ernment, but has been dominated and ruled by an “aristocratic oligarchy.” A call has been issued for a convention of democratic farmers to meet in convention in this city on May 27 to nominate a complete state ticket, ———-+e4+ ____ Suppressing the French Language. Daiton McCarthy has introduced his bill in the Canadian parliament to repeal the act authorizing the use of the French lan- guage in the northwest. territories, The de- bate on the bill is certain to stir up a very bit- ter feeling in parliament between the two ele- ments, In introducing his bill McCarthy said there would be but one language in Canada to- day if the French language had not been per- pease in the province of Quebec when the ‘rench population numbered 70,000, at the time of the conquest. To the term conquest the French-Canadian members objected, as Que- bec had not been conquered. but had been ceded by France to England by the treaty of 1763. | This is a very tender point with French- Canadians generally. Continuing, McCarthy said that the movement in Canada in the direc- tion of annexation with the United States was one of the results of perpetuating the French- Canadian language, and the only solution of this difficulty was to absorb the French-Cana- dians in the great American federation, ———— cee — —_ -— Angry With Queen Victoria. The true cause of the departure of the comte de Paris for America is his indignation at Queen Victoria's permitting the domincering treatment by England of his son-in-law, the king of Portugal. The count sent a bitter let- ter of remonstrance to the queen and her majesty, in consequence, refuses the further hospitality of English soul to the count, who will choose America as his future home.

THE EVENING STAR ts a PAPER OF TO-DAY, not of YESTERDAY nor of LAST WEEK. It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreign, LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS. This is conspicuoustys true of all clasece of news, but especially so in regard te Local News and District Affairs, THE STAR has a very much LARGER and BETTER force of LOCAL RE- PORTERS and SPECIAL WRITERS | than any other paper in Washington ever thought of employing, and ITS MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND PRINTING FACILITIES ARE MORB THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER- FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. It is therefore able to print each day o full Feport of every transaction of public ine @erest occurring in the District up te | the very hour of going to press. ——393-—— By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES: for REGULAR AND SPECIAL Dis- PATCHES, and with the difference of | time in its favor, it is also able to give {its readers every afternoon the news of the WHOLE EASTERN HEMISPHERE | for the entire day, and up to 12 o’clock midnight, thus leaving literally nothing im the way of news from Europe, Asia, and Africa for the morning papers. —o—— Equally does THE STAR lead all its contemporaries in the publication of the NEWS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY, Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic core respondents at all important points; and | with wires leading directly from its own | office to the general network of telegraph system tauching every city, town and bamilet in the United States and Terri- tories, it is enabled to receive and print eatonce a full report of every event of consequence occurring during the day anywhere between the Atlantic and Pee | cific Oceans. —0:— @ NOTE THE RESULT: 29 —:0:—— THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR ' SUBSCRIGERS and MORE THAN |WIVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR | READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY | PAPER IN WASHINGTON. It is de- | vered regularly by careful carriers at | the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER | THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THB | SAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. They know that it prints all the news, and has only the interests of the people | of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They know it, in short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, and nothingelse. Asan ADVERTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSO- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. It ts im fact worth more as a means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL THE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGETHER. Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives its patrons, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST IN THE CITY. In conclusion, the public should bear | im mind this one significant fact: THE SPAR does not rely upon empty boasts to impress the public. I1T8 CIRCULA- TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in thelr examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which few papers invite, and which those that boast most are least able to stand. —_—o— © The esteem in which THE STAB is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively showm by the fig- ares given below. Is the first six months of each of the five years named the average daily cir- ulation of the paper was: In 1885.
