A meeting of the strikers was hela early this morning, at which the men decided to stop the running of ali trains except those carry- ing the United States mails. Accord- ingly ; as fast as the suburban trains came in this mornin, they were side tracked and it was not long before the tracks were completely blocked up, suburban trains, freight trains and through and way | paseen, trains being mixed in almost inextricable confusion. The last suburban train arrived at the depot at 8:30 «& m.,and the men announced that that would be the last suburban train to come in or go out until the question as to Superintendenf Rus- sell's retention was decided one way or the other. At | me the strike effects the road only from Chicago to Kankakee, but the men say that unless they gain their point they will tie up the entire system—Chicago to New Orleans. A conference between the men and the offi- cials of the road has been called for 3 o'clock this afternoon, At 10 o'clock the strikers agreed to let the express car be attached to the mail car of the St. Louis train At 10:15 the two cars and an engine pulled out, no coaches being atiached. —— NEARLY FOUR OF A_ KIND, One White and Three Colored Mur- derers Swing Into Kingdom Come, Memruis, June 24.—Frank Brenish, Parker Harris, Ed Carr and Hardy Ballard, all negroes except Brenish, were hung from the same gal- lows here this morning at 11:28 o'clock. The crimes of three of them were remarkable for their similarity, The crime for which Frank Brenish, the only white man of the quartet of murderers executed this morning, was the killing of his wife, Mary Brenish. on the night of July 5 last. The couple were married in 1887, lived to- gether until ashort time yore the tragedy, when Mrs. Brenish left her husband. owing to his neglect to provide for his family, She ob- tained employment as a chambermaid ata hotel, visiting her children daily. Brenish waylaid her at frequent intervals, begging her to return to him, and finally threatening to kill her if she did not, About 9 o'clock on the evening of July 5 Mrs. Brenish left her home for the hotel, accompanied by her sister and bya child by a former marriage. Brenish intercepted the party near the corner of Union and Third streets. and upon her refusing to go home with him drew a long keen-bladed knife and buried it to the hilt in her neck. She never spoke and death was al- most instantaneous, ‘Then the murderer, backing himself against the wall of « building, drew the sharp blade of the knife across his own throat, inflictmg a wound tho recovery from which constiiutes one of the most re- markable cases in the aunals of sur- gery, The wind pipe and esophaegua were severed and as it was thought by the physicians he would die in half an hour nothing was done for him beyond pe sinnireas cbeheel His re- markable constitution, however, pulled him through, and with the aid of tracheotomy he thrived aud grew heavier than ever, ANOTHER LIKE IT. On Sunday August 18,a murder and at- tempted suicide occurred which so closely re- sembled the Breuwh tragedy of six weeks be- fore that the first might have been taken asa pattern for the second. The facts in the case, the disputes and the causes thatied to the second tragedy were exactly the same asin the = first.’ The victim was Lethe Harris, an octoroon of more than ordi- nary beauty. and the murderer, Parker Harris, ber husband, a mulatto, ‘he woman was in- stantly killed and although the slayer’s wind- pipe was partially severed he was out of danger ima fewdays, On the very day and at the vory hour when the jury returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree against Harr! for killing his wife another negro was preparing himself for the gallows by the commission of a similar crime. At 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, November 9, Ed Carr, a negro, entered the station ho istol in band, and announced that he had illed his wife, Sallie Carr. He gave as area- son that his wife was unfaithful to him. He made no defense, The trial lasted only two and conviction was the result. st Christmas was signalized by the com- mission of two foul murders. Early in the morning the body of « colored man, who had been yaardared for bis money, was found under the Bayou Bridge on Elliot street. He was never identified nor were his murderers ever captured, The second murder occurred at 8 o'clock in the evening. E. Pinkston, a street car driver, was stabbed to the heart by Hardy Ballard, a negro, Ballard boarded a Main street car for South Memphis terminus and upon being re- ested to deposit hiv fare, advanced to the rout platform and with the words: “Here's ‘our nickel,” stabbed Pinkston in the left east with aknife.

Harnispvne, Pa., June 24.—The question as to who will get the second place, that of lieut- enant governor, in the republican convention tomorrow is a topic of interest among the delegates here today. Passmore stock is on the rise this morning and it is said that the grangers are backing him for the place. Watres aud Martin are both confident and yet they fear a change at the last moment that may result ina new man being taken. It is certain that the lieutenant [peg will not be finally settled upon until all doubt has been removed from the nomination ernor, Passmore, Watres and Martin are all tacking on to the Delamater kite and two of them are going to bo disap- pointed, perhaps all three of them. — Watres is vorite with the Delamater lieutenants. if Hastings the nominee it possible that the convention may be stamped for Montooth for lieutenant governor. e gallant major has said that he does not want to interfere with the men who nave been making the fight for second place, but if the nomination came for gov- to him in that way he would probably accept it, It has been agreed that George c. Graham of Philadelphia shall be temporary chairman and == Wal- ter Lyon of Allegheuy permanent chair- man. Graham and Lyon are both Quay men, Graham, it is said, will vote for Hastings onthe first ballot and Lyou will vote for Montooth, Chairman Andrews, who yesterday thought it might be necessary to have Senator Quay here to straighten out poy has ohanged his mind this morning and the Senator will not be on the ground. He is directing the fight by wire, however, DELAMATER FESLS# SURE. Delamater expressed himself with great con- fidence this morning on the outcome: “I just as sure of my nomination,” seid he, “as I am aure that the sonvention will meet.” DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

Proposed Amendments to the Sundry Civil’ Appropriations Bill, ‘The Senate committee on public buildings and grounds has authorized number of amendments of great interest the people of Washington to be proposed to the sundry civil Sppropriation bill and Senator Morrill today offered them in the Senate. An appro- pristion of $500,000 is asked for an additional fire proof building, 300 feet square, with two stories and a basement for the use of the National Museum, the building to be Placed west of the Smithsonian Institution. A SUPREME COURT BUILDIXG. An offort will aleo be made to secure by means of an appropriation bill, a site for a Su- preme Court Building. the removal of the court being urgently desired in order to ve more committee rooms for the Senate. ‘he amendment authorizes the purchase by the Secretary of the Interior of squares 726, 727 and 228, boundedon the north by B street north, on the east by 20th street east, on the south by East itol dtreet and on the west by Ist street cast. The amount of appropriation is left indefinite. A POST OFFICE PROJECT. The project for a combined building for the Post Office Department and a city post office is revived. The Postmaster General, Secretary of the Interior and Attorney General are con- stituted a commission to secure by condemna- tion ground suitable for the purposes named. the selection of site being left to thoir discretion. They are authorized to draw upon the Treasury for any money needed. ‘The probable effect of the adoption of this amend- ment would be to throw the post office and Post Oftice Department building upon the Le Droit sqnare and kill the bill for a post oftice at 11th street and the avenue. THE SMITHSONIAN BUILDING, Another amendment approprintes $45,000 for the improvement of the Smithsonian Institu- tion building. THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE BILL. Proposed Substitute of the House Ju- diciary Committee for the Senate Bill. The House committee on the judiciary, after having under consideration for four meetings the Senate “original package” bill, has de- cided to report to the House in its stead the following substitute agreed upon by the committee this morning, with one dissenting voice, It ia broader in scope than the Senate bill, inasmuch as its provisions apply to all articles of interstate commerce, whereas the Senate bill only applies to intoxicating liquora, ‘The substitute is as follows: “That whenever any article of commerce is imported into any state from any other state, territory or foreign nation, and there held or offered for sale, the same shall then be subject to the laws of such state; pro- vided that no discrimination shall bo made by any state in favor of its cltizens against those of other states in respect to the sale of any article of commerce nor in favor of its own products ‘against those of like char- acter produced in other states, nor shall the transportation ef commerce through any state be obstructed, except in the necessary enforce- ment of the health {ee ot such state.” Representative Reed of Iowa will prepare the report on the bill and Representative 140 bid.

Answer of the Commissioners toa Reso- lution of the Senate. LABORERS WORK MORE THAN RIOT HOURS PER DAY—UNAWARE OF ANT LAW LIMITIXG THE HOURS—WHY LABORERS IN THE COUNTY ARE PAID LESS THAN THOSE IN THE CITiEA, ‘The Commissioners today replied to the res- olution of the Senate of the 15th instant re- questing the Commissioners to inform the Senate if laborers employed by the District government on public works in the District of Columbia are required to work more than eight hours for a day's work, and if so to what extent and under what law. Also if laborers employed on such work in the county receive less pay than those employed in the city, and if 80 why such discriminations are made and by what legal authority it is done; and how many employes, as nearly as can be conveniently stated, are paid by the District of Columbia, their classification and the rates of payment and the number of hours of their daily. work, The Commissioners transmit a statement showing the classification and number, the rates of payment and the number of hours of daily work of the various classes of employes paid by the District, HOURS OF LABOR. They say that it will be seen from the state- ment that many of these employes work more than eight hours a day, and say that they (the Commissioners) are unaware of any law regu- lating the number of hours of vaggeg ona! They say further that under a law of cor- poration of Washington before that corpora- tion was abolished it prescribed the hours of laborers employed on its public works and their rate ot payment, but that the law applied spe- cifically to the laborers of that corporation and, consequently, expired when the charter of that corporation was revoked, WAGES IN COUNTY AND crrv. It is difficult to ascertain now, they say, why laborers in the suburban sections are paid less than those employed in the city on District work, ‘The Commissioners say further that they are informed by an official connected with the employment of these laborers that the rate of pay of labor in the county was fixed to meet the wishes of the farmers and truck gar- deners living contiguous to and in tho District, who represented that they could not profitably pay more than $1.25 per day for labor, and that if the District paid more for work on the roads ot the District it would be impossible for them to employ laborers at rates which would permit them to carry on their business, Other reasons, as the greater cheapness of liv- ing in the country, &c., they continue, seem to have entered into the problem, but the protest of the agricultural element seems to have had the principal influence in fixing the rate. —— BARGAIN DAY AT THE NAVY YARD. Uncle Sam Sells Off a Lot of Naval Rempants at Auction. Ina great institution like the navy yard a large amount of uscless property is accumulat- ing all the time and every once in a while must be disposed of somehow. This is usually done by means of a public sale of the con- demned property and such a sale as this took placo at’ the navy yard today. There was quite alarge crowd at the auctipn, some few drawn by curiosity, but most of them on the sharp lookout for bargains, No matter what a purchaser was affer he could get it if he only waited long enough’ for the collection was mot- one. For instance lot No. 38 was 1 schooner, sunken, while lot 39 was 26 pairs cloth trousers. ‘There were all sorts of discarded naval properties, a majority of which were sold for what they were supposed to be worth as old brass or iron, Lot No, 2 was one boiler, Rescue's, worn out, while No, 3 was one wrought-iron erank shaft, built up for the Bonne Homme Richard, There were engines, gun brackets and carriag: powder tanks, sword bayonets and scabbards, howitzer wheels, lig- numvite logs, hickory brooms, tin candle sticks, water filters, & plated sugar bowl and cream pitcher, an iron bedstead, and, in fact, pretty much every- thing that would be necessary to fit up a second-hend navy with second-hand equipments, Aga rule the prices were fairly good, though some first-rate bargains were made by those who wanted to pur- chase the sort of things that were on sale. The condemned property was stored in the various tv ildings around the yard, the foundries, ship hou ell house, fowitaer shed, the sail loft and all the others and the crowd,» good-natured one, though warm, went | from lace to place at the bidding of the auctioneer, who in turn went from price to price at the bidding of the crowd. The sale was under the supervision of the aymaster of the vard and was conducted by Ractelitte, Darr & Co., the auctioneers. hast tala HOW SILVER BOBBED UP, Today’s Proceedings the Result of a Conference Held Last Night. The sudden change in the plan of procedure with regard to the silver bill in the House was due to a determined stand taken by the ex- treme silver men against any delay in getting the bill back into the House and thence into conference. Mr. Conger, chairman of the coinage committee, announced yesterday that no meeting of his committee would he held until the latter part of the week and that the bill would not be reported to the House until next week. Speaker Reed and the committee on rules had laid out an order of business by which the federal election bill would be taken up today and considered from Gay to day until finally disposed of. The Torrey bankruptcy bill was to follow, THE PROTEST OF THE SILVER MEN. When the silver mon were told this they pro- tested. Mr. Payson and other silver republi- cans who supported the Speaker in the late contest joining with Messrs, Carter, Bar- tine, Morrow and the remaining republicans who last week voted with the democrats in declaring they would not allow this postpone- ment of the silver bill, A meeting, which was attended by those gontlemen, as well as by the Speaker and Mr. Canyon and Mr. Burrows of the committee on rules and Mr, Conger of the coinage committee, was held —_ last night’ at the Capitol. The _ silver d that the silver bill be dealt with without delay by the coinage committee and be brought up in the House. Tho silver men who had acted with their party in lust week's contest intimated that they had done so at some sacrifices, and would have otherwise if an attempt was made to make the special orders that were proposed to the exelu- sion of the silver bill. Mr. Conger said he could not get his committee together before the end of this week, but the silver men insisted that he should secure @ mecting. When the meet- ing adjourned it was agreed this should be done and the silver bill made the speoial order for today. IN THE COINAGE COMMITTEE, At the meeting of the coinage committee this morning it is understood that on the first vote it was agreed to conour in the Senate amend- ments by 6 to 5, Mr, Bartine yoting with th democrats in the affirmative. But as some of the anti-silver republicans were absent Mr. Bar- tine said he would not take advantage of that fact and later changed his vote, and the Senate amendments non-concurrod in, MONEY FOR THE MILITIA, How the $400,000 Appropriation wu be Distributed.

They say they can do this without interfer- ence, for the law plainly states that no sheriff or police officer has any jurisdiction over the property of the club, The only remedy w the repeal of the law, Sand for this pu: a special session of the legislature would have to called, The Virginia legisiature—a biennial body—does not mect in regular session for nearly two years, The management has intimated that the seg performance at their new grounds will bes bull fight, This proposition would bring out all the objection thatcouid possibly be made and the matter would then have to be settled by the courts, which, the iucorporators say and appear to believe, would uphold the law as Passed by the last legislature. ya sa TABLETS FOR THE MONUMENT. Senator Edmunds’ Resolution — The Monument Socicty’s Plaque. Senator Edmunds has introduced in the Sen- ate # resolution authorizing an appropriation of $2,500 to enable the Secretary of War to place in the interior of the Washington monument a tablet stating bricfly the history of tho structure. It is further pro- vided that no other inscription, tablet or other thing in the nature of a memorial shall be placed therein without the authority of Con- gress, THE MONUMENT SOCIETY'S PLAQUE. The Washington Monument Society has had a plaque or tablet prepared at considerable ex- pense, which if was the intention to place in the monument. A_ member of the society in speaking of the mat- tar to a Bran reporter today said that six years ago a committee was authorized to pre- are an inscription which would state the nstory of the socicty in connection with ‘the monument. This committee, of which Mr, George Bancroft, the historian was chairman and President J.C. Welling, Dr. J. M. Toner and Admiral C. R. P. Rodge: members who performed this duty, and the inscription reported by them was ap- “hes by the society, He said that the istorical accuracy of the inscription was beyond doubt, It gave an account of the so- ciety and those most prominently identified with it from the beginning. He thought that the history of the society showed that it given steadiness to a patriotic pur; and without its aid, the country would still lxck this noble memorial to Washington. He added that thn inscription contained nothing that detracted from the credit that properly belonged to the governmeut or any individual. It was sought merely ta atate the relations of the society to the monument. It was not supposed, he said, that the monument would contain no other memorial. He understood that the commission intended to erect a tablet, and this could be done with great propricty. @eeme | WHAT SENATOR EDMUNDS SAYA. Senator Edmunds, in speaking to a Srar reporter of hia resolution relative to tablets in the Washington monument,said the gentlemen personally interested in the monument jociety were all friends of his. If they had any differences or disagreements he knew nothing of them. All his interest in the mat- ter was that which concerned the public— the keeping pure of the monument. ‘That great memorial must not be defaced. CIVIL SERVICE INVESTIGATION. The Inquiry Into the General Workings @ of the Law—Commissioner Lyman. The House committee on reform in the civil service held a meeting today to outline a plan for its proposed investigation into the general workings of the civil se: law. It will begin this investigation on Friday next when it will visit the office of the commis- sion and examine into its business admin- istration. A LETTER FROM COMMISSIONER LYMAN. The committee has received a letter from Commissioner Lyman (who was censured in the report made by the committee to the House recently) saying that the report does him great injustice and is fot warranted by the facts, He asks an opportunity to lay before the committee certain vital important facts which, he says, he is sure did not have consideration in the preparation of the report. TBE COMMITTEE WILL REPLY to Mr. Lyman that it is impossible for it to come to any conclusion with regard to the request he makes until they know specifically the evidence he has and will ask him to mit this evidence in writing as s00n as possible.

How a New Cruiser is to be the Fastest | The Law as to Selling Beer on Sunday— Naval Vessel Affoat. A New Drink. Secretary Tracy has decided to adopt the| This morning in the Police Court Haury recommendation of Engineer-in-Chief Melville to build the new cruiser provided for in the pending naval appropriation bill with three screws, instead ef the customary two. She is to be about 400 feet long and 58 feet beam, 7,500 tons displacement, will develop about 20,500 horse power and make an average speed of 21 knots an hour, maintained for four hours, or 22 knots over « measured mile. If this is accomplished the cruiser will be the fastest ever produced and added to other qualities will prove a most formidable warcraft, She is to have no armor, Dut istto be provided with a protective deck. The three screws will be s most decided Rorelty in this country, nothing of the kind ever having been built NOT AN EXPERIMENT. But it is not to be an experiment, for the Italian government tried the system on the torpedo boat Tripoli, which developed a little over 19 knots, The Duprey de Lorne, now building, is to be fitted with triple screws, asa result of a series of experiments with the sys- tem on the Carpe, a French crniser. Nothing has been decided as to the exact rangement of the three screws, although it is expected that they will be placed in a triangle, with the age below, the nother screw being considerably abaft the other two. It is designed ‘to run the ship with the center screw alone for ordinary cruising purposes, this being expected to develop a speed of from 13 to 15 knots an hour. In case it is desired to attain a moderate speed the two forward screws will be used and in the event of a need for the highest possible speed all three will be run, It is not anticipated that these high stipu- lations will make it dificult to obtain bids on the vessel. HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Increased Appropriations for That In- stitution ed For. The Secretary of the Treasury today for- warded to the Senate a letter from the Secre- tary of the Interion recommending an increase in the appropriation for the support of Howard University. There is also a letter of explanation jfrom F. 1, Smith. W. A. Bartlett and Rush R. Shippen, a com- mittee appointed by the university trustees, in which the varions increases asked for are explained, In a paragraph on the industrial Department thi committee says: “For several years the university, almost without funds, has sought to give incidental instruction in several branches of mechanical industry. Colored apprentices and colored journeymen are excluded by al! trades unions, rendering it impossible for a colored young man to blame the education and training necessary to enable him to compete successfully with his white brother. The increases are—sajaries, $18,500 to $20,- 000; books for library, $2,000; chemical appar- atus, #1,000; improvement of grounds, $2,000; current expenses, $1,500. New buildings are also needed, and for the erection of these the sum of €103,958.40 is asked. THE POLICE INVESTIGATION. The Accused Lieutenants— Detective Block Restored to His Old Duty. The investigation of certain lieutenants of the police force still continued in Col, Robert's pri- vate office and several important witucsses were examined today. The investigation of the Block case still goes on, however, and Will soon be presented to the buard, The testimony adduced discloses some queer things, but it is probable that Block will be vindicated, Col. Robert, after consulting with Maj. Moore decided that it would be bet- ter to reinstate Block to his position at head- quarters as inspector of pawn shops aud today it was done, This isa partial vindication, as Block had been ordered to report after his leave to his old precinct for police duty.
