A committee was appointed to arrange for an excursion to Hagerstown to the High Tent in Juiy. — THE EIGHP HOUR QUESTION. The Builders’? Exchange Will Leave the Matter to Employers and Employes. A special meeting of the Builders’ Exchange was held last evening to consider the preposi- tion made at the recent conference between a committee of the exchange and the representa- tives of labor organizations. The labor repre- sentatives then proposed that ou and after the Ist day of May eight hours should constitute a day's work, the pay to remain as at present. The matter had been very fully considered by the committee of the exchange and discussed very geuerally by the members of the exchange. After an interchange of views at the meeting last evening, it was decided to refer the propo- sition of the labor organizations to the separate trades for action. [t was stated that some of the trades had not asked for a reduction of hours, and as the exchange represented all the trades, and any action would be binding upon all the members, it was thought best to allow this question to be decided by the employers and the employes of each trade. as individual trades. The secretary of the exchange was directed. in notifying the committee of Instrict Assembly No. 66, Knights of Labor, of this ion of the exchange, to call their attention to the existing state of trade and the fact that the mechanics of Baltimore and neighboring cities are work- ing lounger hours with less pay than the same class of workmen in this city. which. in the opinion of the exchange. is detrimental to trade. gece” Sabato The Party Wall Question. To the Editor of Tar Evesrxe Stan The public will, I think. be thankful to Mr. Mackey for the information given in yesterda: Stax as to the origin and nature of the party wall law or regulation in this District, but they will hardly find it easy to agree with his esti- mate of its beneficial effects. Where the owner ef a lot chooses to build his house with a tes or *pace on either side between him and is neighbors —having no use for and never in- tending to use a party wall—but where his neighbors nevertheless possess themselves of quite a strip of his ground upon which to place & portion of their buildings, T tut to ose where the “universal principles of equity” spoken of by Mr. Mackey really come in. To me the pro- cess looks like down right robbery, and I don't believe it would be sanctioned by a court of last resort if the question could be tested there. Let every owner build on his own ground, and Bpon that of nobody else. is the doctrine of Conmoy Sexse Justice, — When the Prince Played Ten Pins. To the Editor of Tux EVESING Stan Reading your report describing the new quarters of the Columbia athletes reminds me of an incident that I never saw in print con- nected with the visit of the Prince of Wales to this country. On the same spot where this bwilding now stands was a house in which at that time was kept a school for “young ladies.” Nearly half the square to the rear was used for training im riding horse back.

Assoctation.—From a statement made by the Equitable in announcing the opening of u new issue of stock (th 19th), which is published in agother column of Tue Star, some very in- structive figures are giveu. The smail monthly payments or savings on shares by the members, amounting to $2,474.170.44, and the amount ad- vanced to them to pay for property. amounting to $3,340,300, running up, as they do, into the millions, furnish positive proof—considered in connection with the length of time the associa- tion has been in operation, nearly eleven years—that the Equitable has been, and is, a Successful co-operative saving and loaning in- stitution, especially adapted to and benefiting People of moderate means and income. In the Equitable, it is stated, Washington enjoys the distinction of having the largest bona fide builaing association in this country. —— A Fixe Beripixa Lor on N street between AN UNLICENSED BAR. The Proprietors of Northridge’s Saloon a Fined $105. William Northridge and George Aiken, pro- prietors of what is known as Northridge’e sa- loon, No. 314 11th street northwest, made their application to the Commissioners for a liquor license for the present license year, but the application was rejected. An application for a rehearing was made and upon reconsideration of the case the Commissioners came to the same conclusion that they did at first. About o'clock yesterday afternoon Sergeant Boyle went tothe saloon and read the order of the Commissioners rejecting the application and warned the proprietors that they had better quit business. Acting under advice of counsel they refused to close their place and their counsel so stated to Lieut. Amiss. Later in the evening Policeman Ceinar went to the saloon and obtained evidence on which the defendants were proceeded inst in the Police Court this morning. Judge Miller gave judgment against the defendants in the sum of 3105 and Mr. Duhamel for the defendants noted an appeal, Several other saloon keepers were given similar notice and so far as known they are not continuing to violate the law. ————_ Recent Robberies. The grocery store and post office at Montello was broken open on she night of March 30 and robbed of some postage stamps, provisions and a pruning knife. The post office is near the railroad track, andit is thought that the burglary was perpetrated by tramps. The police were notified of the robbery two days ago, but as the thieves have had so much time to escape and cover their tracks it is not likely that they will be captured.—The de- tectives have been requested by Ang. Speck- man of No. 712 E street to recover $182 be- longing to him and arrest the person who stole it from his house last evening.——Miss Jennie Hines of No. 1010 15th street would like to recover a seven-stone diamond cross ring and pair or sleeve buttons that were stolen from her room during the past six weeks. — Charles E.

Daisy Miller and Lulu Taylor, colored resi- dents of South Washington, put on their new spring dresses yesterday and went out to see the parade. When the Capital City Guards’ band played a popular air the girls began to dance, but were interrupted by Poiiceman Nicholson, This morning the dancers were each fined 95 by Judge Mill —>——— Let Them Off Easily. Emancipation day passed off without any se- rious fights or difficulties, but it being a gen- eral holiday with the colored people a few of them drank too much, and the result was that thirty-seven of them were in the Police Court this morning on charges of drunk and disor- derly. Judge Miller was not severe on them, it being the colored people's holiday, and let many of them off without a fine where the dis- orderly conduct did not disturb others than a few of those who were following the procession. —— a Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued by the clerk of the court to Wm. H. Cooper and Mamie J. Taylor; Jacob Tabler and Alice Hen- rietta Seiling; Frank Walker and Sarah Carson; Ellis Smith and Jennie Shelton; Randall A.

The preliminary hearing in the Leuville con- spiracy case closed today and the marquis was committed for trial and bail fixed at $1,000, which he was unable to obtain up to 10 o'clock last night. A lady who was among his friends in court was applied to for bail, but refused. The marquis turned pale on hearing the de- cision of the court and wiped away a tear. He had evidently expected his discharge and had arranged to give a large dinner party last night in honor of his acquittal. The party is now postponed and conviction is considered certain, iu which case he must go to jail.

Both must be equally interested to work satisfactorily. The Equitable is based and worked upon this plan, which is true in policy as well as in principle. : It is believed that the more fully the merits of this Association are understood, the more convinced people will become of the real benefits derived from membership, and the high degree of protection, safety and encouragement it affords to persons of moderate means.
