A Coming Conference of Labor-Repre- sentatives and the Builders Exchange, A conference between representatives of labor organizations and a committee of the builders exchange will be held next week to discuss the eight-hour day. The object of the conference is to have an interchange of views on the feasibility of adopting the eight- hour day by the building trades of this city. The labor organizations, it i understood, have no demands to make, but they simply wish to learn how the coutractors look upon this question, In some portions of the country the _ eight-hour day will be inaugurated on the Ist of May, but itis stated that no general movementof the kind is contemplated here. The intention of the labor organizations is to have these hours fixed upon by agreement rather by the method of inaugurating a strike. _ A BRIDEGROOM FOR TWO HOURS. Suicide of a Young Man on the After- noon of His Wedding. ‘There are several peculiar cittumatances sur- rounding the suicide of John N. Hodgson, a book keeper, who shot himself at his boarding house in Cleveland, Ohio, Thursday afternoon. He went to his room at 8 o'clock, with the re- mark, “Now I am ready for anythin; A shot was heard at 4:30 o'clock, but the dead body was not found until 8 o'clock in the evening, when the door to Hodgson’s room was forced. It is learned that Hodgson was married at 2:30 o'clock, two hours before his suicide, to Miss Addie May Bishop, None of bis friends knew of the marriage until Friday morning, when the young lady called at Hodgson's boarding place and asked for him. She was informed that he wus dead, Then the caller said she was Hodgson’s wife. | The fact that he had committed suicide was imparted to her as gently as possible, but the shock to her was terrible, and she gave way fora time to her grief. The young woman said that she had kept company with Hodgson for several years before this marriage, and she was at a loss*to account for his self-destraction. The young man’s brother beheves, however, that he was tem- porarily insane, as he had just recovered from @ severe attack of the grip and had acted some- what strangely, Hodgson’s landlady says that although he gave his occupation as a book- keeper, he did nothing but manage his erty, which consisted of real estate in Cleve!

Captain Rossell today forwarded the follow- ng report to Col. Robert in regard to the sub- division known as “Petworth,” which lies to the eastward of Brightwood avenue and north- east from the Soldiers’ Home grounds: “The parties owning this land made this subdivision and brought it tothe Commis- sioners of the District for approval more than ayearago, The Commissioners approved the game on January 15, 1689, as is shown by the order on the inclosed subdivision signed by Commissioners Webb, Wheatley and Raymond. After the subdivision had been approved by the Commismoners the map was taken to the office of the surveyor of the District for record and it will be seen that hé marked in ink that the map was received for record January 16, 1890, at 12:30, Shortly after this time this map was m from the sur- veyor's office for the purpose of having the maps lithographed and was not returned until about a year later, a pencil memorandum show- ing that it was received on the 8th of January, 1890, at 3:20 ee The letter from the trustees shows that they desire only to have a part of this subdivision recorded and to leave the rest as farm land. The quostion comes up asto whether they have the authority to do this, and it depends upon the time ‘at which streets donated for public use by parties mak- ing rural subdivisions become public property. The law aye that after receivi ‘approval of the Commissioners they shall be orded in the office of the surveyor, and it would seem as though they required both these acta to me public property. As as” mat- ter of fact this subdivision has never been recorded; but if the case is analogous to that of a deed it must be regarded as recorded when it was received at the time for record, and if this be the true status of the case these streets became public streets on January 16, 1889, at 12:30 o'clock p.m., and it will be impossible for the parties owning the land to take back the public streets, nor have the Commissioners any authority to allow them to do so. He says that the Commissioners addressed a note to the attorney for the District ask: n opinion as to the time or epoch at which these donated streets become public property, but no reply has, been received After the chart was taken tothe surveyor's office for record some $4,000 worth of work was done on the streets 80 donated under contract with the District, the District to pay 10 cents per yer for tne grading. He says if the streets ve never become public Property these ac- counts cannot be paid, and if they are paid he sees no way in which the parties interested can withdraw part of the subdivision. As the ques- tion is one of law he recommends that the matter be referred to the attorney for the Dis- trict. ——-__ The Death Record.

The letter sail that appearances would certainly indicate that some government Officials here were helping on the leaders of the attack on the civil service commission and mentioned tne names of certain officials who it was stated have been especially active in aiding the attack. . “Have L anything to say?” said Gov. Thomp- son. “Simply that the whole charge connect- ing me in any way with the authorship or pub- lication of that letter is absolutely and un- qualifiedly false. That is all I have to say.” “I do not think it worth while to go into de- tail in the matter,” said Mr, Roosévelt, “but I do wish to give the whole story my flat and ab- solute denial.” ‘ ANOTHER DEXIAL. Mr. Foulke is out of town, but his secretary, Mr. C. R, Lane, was seen by Tue Starreporter, aud in answer to his question Mr. Lane said: “I do not represent Mr. Foulke, but I am in a position to know all about the reparation and publication of that letter, The statement that either Gov. Thomp- son or Mr, Roosevelt was instrumental in dic- tating or inspiring the whole or any part of that letter is absvlutely false and without the Jeast foundation in truth.” sence coll CEE THE SECRET SESSION LEAKS. The Dolph Committee Trying to Get In- formation from Senators. It is not much more than éwenty-four hours since Senators were laughing over the situation in which a number of newspaper men were being placed by the Dolph committee. Now the laugh is with the scribes, Failing to secure any testimony of value from the men who find out executive secrets and print them the committee has turned its attention to the Sena- tors and was yesterday engaged in making them swear that they never, no never, gave to any newspaper man or any one else informa- tion as to what was occurring or had occurred during senatorial secret sessions, Up to the present time the committee has been just as successful in extracting -informa- tion from Senators as they were from the cor- respondents, The newspaper men refuse to tell who the Senators are that have favored them with news, and the Senators say they never gave out news anyhow. That corks up both ends of the question and leaves the com- mittee just where it was before it had a title to existence. Senators not on the committee and even some of those on it are already weary of the fruitless and strife-breeding inquisition. It is evident that there can be no practical result from all the fuss save, perhaps, a good deal of bitter feeling which has been engendered, The proposition which looks to a conference between the Senate and the press gallery may become something definite within a few days. ‘Those Senators who favor such a move say they will let bygones be bygones if the corre- spondents will only agree not to interfere with the Senate when it is consider- ing treaties, Secrecy on other matters is not to be regarded as absolutely necessary, and whether much or littke is printed about these minor domestic affairs nothing will be said by the Senate. but an effort will be made to have preserved intact all treaties until they are properly and officially promulgated. Whether the ,correspondents who are con- tumacious will or will not be imprisoned can- not yetbetold, but it is believed that the bottom has dropped out of the Dolph resolu- tion to imprison for contempt. It is rumored that some of the newspaper men may be certified to the District attorney for prosecution for alleged “sedition,” but the rumor seems to be without substantial founda- DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, FOR RELIEF OF SENSITIVE CLERKS, Once a month the laborers employed by the District government are paid off at the District building. They come up in swarms and the ceaseless tramp, tramp, tramp up the broad staircase and through the halls is anything but pleasant music to the clerks engaged in the several rooms on the second floor. To obviate this the Commissioners today decided tocut another stairway through the hall vestibule between the inspector's room and the main building. The workmen will here- after be permitted to use this staircase alone. THE PENDING LIQUOR LICENSES. ‘The Commissioners are unable to tell just exactly when they will take up the question of liquor licenses, “Col. Robert has given the ‘matter careful attention and says he is Teady to take up the question. Commissioner Douglass has arranged all the licenses and he also is ready. A number bave been acted on today had 1890—-TWELVE PAGES. A Scene From the Maine Woods Trans- ferred to the National Museum. @The moose that a few months ago lay in dis- membered fragments, bones, antlers and skins around the work shop of Mr Palmer, the tazi- dermist of the national museum, have been resurrected and now can be seen grouped in gatural attitudes on a grassy hummock, with a clamp of trees at hand, a poolof water and a quantity of low-growing shrubbery. The whole acene is set inside a huge case that stands in the hall of mammals in the national museum, opposite to that containing Prof. Hornaday's buffalo group. The moose, as has been stated in Tax Stan, were obtained by Col. Cecil Clay for the museum in the north of Maine and in the Canadian woods. Some of the animals who hav tality of who pice ager ap The taxidermist’s work has been done with great skill and the group, besides preserving for the inspection of ‘the student imens of moose showing form and dimensions, mathe- matically accurate, tells in it considerable of the | of the big animais which are being so: extermi- nated. The trees and shrubs with which the scene is set were brought from the moose country by Col. Clay. The leaves have been treated so as to preserve their color and freshness of appearance. It 1s an autumn scene and the vivid autumn colors are seen in the foliage. One of the creatures is feeding from the leaves of the overhanging branches of a tree; another has straddled and borne down with his weight a birch sapling and is leisurely off the toothsome leaves. A cow is licking the head of 8 calf and the other moose are disposed in nat- urai altitudes, All of the accessories have been arranged with minnte fidelity tona’ grasses, stones, water and earth, all being so perfectly represented that it is not hard to im- agine that a little square patch of the wilds of north Maine has been bodily transferred to the museum, For some days there has been a screen hung ail around the case while Mr. Palmer and his assistants were at work putting om the finish- ing touches, but today a portion of the screen was removed 60 the public could get aglimpse at the group.
