From the New York ‘Times, Engineer Doyle of the New Jersey Central railroad entertained hig friends yesterday with the story of a remarkable trip made by a Long Branch boy recently, ‘he lad was Eddie Greer, and his age is eleven. He was ambitious to see Camp Abbett at Sea Girt while the soldiers were there, He had no money for car fare and so he jmbed under the cow catcher ani seated himself between the braces. Then, clutching the iron spokes of the pilot, he waited for the train to start. At Asbury Park he was discovered. His hands and face were badly cut by the flying pebbles thrown up by the train, and he was almost dead, but dyter- mined to continue the journey the rest of the distance. He was rescued from his perilous position and sent home. gocnonadaar r+ SORES TES Queen’s Weather. From the London Daily News. “Queen’s weather” may well be a recognized term in our language.

The Carriage Makers Talk Matters | A Protest of the People Against Death Over at a Meeting. Trap Grade Crossings. There was a large attendance at the open | szouLD WASHINGTONIANS BE FOR WASHINGTON meeting of the Carriage Makers’ Assembly at Shea’s Hall last night to further consider the matter of the coach makers’ lockout, especially so far as it relates to the Joyce shops. All the members of the committee who waited on Mr. Joyce during the afternoen to effect a compro- mise, if possible, were present. They were E. D. Pywell, chairman, and Messrs, Joseph Fen- ton, R. F. Jonscher, James Kelly and David Fegan. The chairman stated that the meeting was called to hear the report of the committee ap- Pointed to wait on the Messrs, Joyce and take “ppropriate action thereon. Mr. Pywell, who was chairman and spokes- man of the committee, first told of the Sunday meeting and the fruitiess effort made by the committee that afternoon and of the action of the committee yesterday afternoon, ‘MR. PYWELL’S ACCOUNT OF THE CONFERENCE. He said that the Messra. Joyce were seen in their office. He did not regard Mr. Joyce's re- ception of them as friendly or respectful. After they had discussed the matter, Chair- man Pywell stated, pir. Joyce said: “You heard what I'said Sunday,” and after the matter of reinstating the old men was discussed Mr. Joyce said: “You three men haven't anything to do with this shop, anyhow,” and added that he would see no more committees, Mr. Pywell said he suggested that the firm and the com- mittee cach select one business man and let them select a third man to compose a commit- tee of arbitration. He was willing to have the matter settled by such business men, but Mr. Joyce, he said, had made up his mind in the mutter and would offer no terms looking to- ward « settlement, MR. FEGAN’S STATEMENT. Mr. Fegan said that he desired to make afew additional remarks about the meeting. He said that Mr. Joyce also told the committee that there were some men who had worked in his shop whom he would not take back and there were some whom he would take back, He asked Mr. Joyce if he would give the names of those whom he would or would not take back, but Mr. Joyce refused. He asked Mr. Joyee why he declined, but received no response, and he then asked if he (Mr. Joyce) wanted the pleasure of turning some of the men down. to which Mr. Joyce responded that he never turned anybody do Mr. Joyce, he said, wanted to know what was to be done with the people whom he had taken from places in Philadelphia, and he (Fegan) said that those men would be cared for. Then he told Mr. Joyce that that was the very thing the whole trouble was about, taking men out ¢ the shops, whereupon Mr. Joyce denied that h bad.taken anybody from other shops. “H was point blank against the three of us whe are Knights of Labor,” said Mr. Fegan, ““Mro Pywell, Mr. Fenton and myself. Mr. Joyce is, making the fight wholly aguinst the Knights of Labor.” Mr. Joyce, continued Mr. Fogan, did say that he would see the old men should they come to him, but not if they come in a body. Several short speeches were made concern- ing the report of the committee, and by a unanimous vote the report was received. Mr. Fegan then spoke at length, charging that the trouble with the Joyces had arisen because some sneak had told lies to Mr. Joyce, THE CLOSED SESSION, Mr. Cromeline said he thought that some ac- tion might be taken by the meeting which should not be made public, and he thought that the reporters had better be excluded from the room. He said that the workingmen had been treated well by the newspapers because right was on the side of the men, but he thought some action might be taken which the Joyces should not know of in advance, and for that reason alone he thought the meeting should close to the public, “Then,” added Mr. Fegan, “I think we had better do like the United States Senate and go into executive session. Mr. Cromeline's suggestion was thereupon adopted. After tho doors were closed to reporters sev- eral of the men who had been in Mr. Joyce's employ said that they would not return to Joyce's shop until all of the old men were taken back, and they were applauded for tak- ing the stand they did, ‘The meeting was addressed by District Mas- ter Workman Hobbs, Paul Bowen, J. J. O'Brien, E. W. Oyster and Mr. Gray. NO CHANGE TopAY. There is nothing new in regard to the lock- out today. The members of the Carriage Makers’ Assembly, however, are still confident that they will win the fight in the end, although the Messrs, Joyce are still holding out. They expect a longer struggle than they did at first. but they say they have money and will see that the locked-out men do not suffer, Mr. Fegan said today that the only thing they could do at present was to see the men who are brought here and get them to remain out of the shop. There is one thing about the Joyces, said Mr. Fegan, and that is that they want good workmen. If they get good workmen we are sure that wo can keep them from working in the shop more than a few hours, because good workmen can always get a job. The men are still looking over the trains for imported workmen, aud will use all their per- suasive powers to induce them to remain out of Joyces’ shop, eee <ee FINED WITH REGRET. Judge Mills Imposes the Lowest Pos- sible Fine on Mrs. Candler. The horsewhipping case that occurred on Saturday evening at the corner of 434 street and Pennsylvania avenue made its appearance in the Police Court this afternoon, Mra. Kate Candler, who is suid to have applieg a horsewhip to William T. Sweet, was charged with an assault and Sweet with using profane and indecent language, while William Candler was introduced into the case charged with mak- ing threats of personal violence against Sweet, Mrs. Candler testified that Sweet used profane language and insulted her, as has already been told in Tue Stan. Sweet said that he did not remember ever having used any improper language before Mrs. Candler. In the case against Candler for threats Mr. L, W. Snooks fied that he had heard Can- dler threaten to “do Sweet up.” In the case against Mrs. Candler for assault Sweet testified that he was at an opening at Fritz Reuter's restaurant, Saturday night, when he was told that a lady" wanted to see him at the door. He went out just in time to receive a stinging blow from a whip in the hands of Mrs. Candler, who remarked: *‘You insulted me, and I will get even with you!” Mrs. Candler did not deny it, but claimed that the act was justified by the insults he had used toward her. When Judge Mills came to untangle the maze of testimony he dismissed the case against Mr. Candler. Sweet was also acquitted on the charge of profanity, Judge Miils said that when a woman resents an in- sult, although it is an infraction of the law, a court sbouid deal with her as leniently as pos- sible, Still she had committed an assault and he would have to fine her, though he regretted having to do it. Mrs. Candler was fined $1, — A Small Boy and His Cigarette. “Say, mister, give me @ match, I want to light my cigarette,” was the modest request of three-year-old Perey Harding, who was walk- ing through the Baltimore and Potomac depot this morning unattended. “Where in the world did you get that ciga- rette?” inquired a policoman. “I bought it,” was the lost boy’s response, The little fellow was along the platform looking at the cars the same as though he was a paid inspector and to all questions asked him his response was ‘yes, sir;” or “no, sir.” season ocekie es police Siesdquarters, It policeman took him to was learned that he resided near Ist and B streets and his father soon appeared and took him home. —— Have you signed it yet?

Te the Senate and House of Representa. tives in Congress assembied: The undersigned, citizens of the District of Columbia, earnestly protest against the passage of H. R. bill 8243, known as the Atkinson bill, without substantial amend- ment, In its stead we ask for legislation which shail: FIRST, save life and limb and reduce @n obstruction to trade and travel by re moving death-trap grade-crossings within the city limits, wherever such removal is practicable. SECOND, enlarge freight facilities by + giving the railroad power of condemnation within the city east of 3d street west and south of the present tracks, THIRD, tnerease the beauty of the capi- tal by removing surface tracks from 6th streetand the mall, either relieving the park entirely of railroad occupation, or sinking and covering from view the dix Siguring tracks across it, If the station is to be permitted to remain on the park we ask that 6th street be cleared of tracks and thatthe tracks on the mail be hidden from wight and rendered easy and safe to be crossed. And in this event we also ask that the road be required to make ade- quate compensation for its valuable priv= ileges upon the mall by removing grade crossings and decreasing the killing and mangling of the people on its surface tracks. In local raitroad legislation we ask that consideration shall be given, first, to human life, next to trade, next to the city's beauty, and only last!y to the proposed legalizing Of the railroud’s illegal acts, and the pro- posed gratuitous confirmation of its une authorized use af public property. (AME) (ADDRESS) a A COAT OF TAN, What is Sunburn?—Opinions of an Eminent Specialist. From the Philadelphia Press, A reporter of the Press called upon a very eminent physician, whose residence is on Wal- nut street, and elicited some information which will be of especial interest to the merry popu- lation of invigorating but sunny seaside re- sorts. “What is sunburn, doctor?” was the first question, “Sunburn,” said the polite doctor, ‘s only & universal freckle, and if you kuow what freckles are you know what sunburn is—as well as I do myself. Lentigo (our name for freckles) is an excessive deposit or pigment in the skin, Sppearing as smail, round or irregularly shaped pin’s head or pea sized yellowish, brownish or blackish spots. They are seldom seen before the third year, and with advancing years they may disappear permanently. Persons with fair skins, and particularly those with red hair, are especially liable to their development; nevertheless they appear in brunettes and mulattos. A freckle 1s shown by microscopical examination to consist essentiuily of a circum- seribed collection of normal pigment cells in the rete mucosum, Chloasma (liver spot) dif- fers from it simply in the size and shape of the patches, “But I cannot describe sunburn as a uni- versal freckle without calling attention to one important distinction. Freckles are sometimes due to# morbid condition of the system. I have had patients not ordinarily subject to freckles who developed them when ther a gestive organs were seriously out of order. On the other hand, those who are in perfect health bronze much more readily than those whose constitutions are unsound or who are sickly. I may add that one bronzes more quickly from exposure to the sun during the morning hours than in the afternoon, while exercising than when at rest and when the at- mosphere is surcharged with moisture than when it is dry. ‘But sunburn is much more than this,” con- tinued the pieasant physician. “To say that it is only skin-deep would be altogether too super- ficial. You must not forget its deep social sig- nificance. A coat of tan marks and distin- guishes the man who has had his holidays, Are you a man of means? Are youa man of good taste? To prove that you are both you must show a brown face in autumn.” And how about the ladies, doctor?” “My dear sir, veils and gloves at the seaside for ladies who have plump arms and necks. It is simply @ question of full dress next winter. And yet I must say that I knew avery original young lady who scored a positive triumph at a fancy dress ball by appearing with her bare arms delicately bronzed on the upper side. It seemed to make her skin look all the fairer, and doubtless a suggestion of healthy outdoor life is the crowning charm of beauty.” cs —seo- vis THE BABIES OF THE WORLD. The Cradles of u Single Year Would Encircle the Earth. From the St. Louis Republic. It has been computed that between 36,000,000 and 37,000,000 babies are born in the world each year. The rate of production is, there- fore, about seventy per minute, more than one for every beat of the clock. With the one-a- minute calculation every newspaper reader is familiar, but it is not every one who stops to calculate what this means when it comes to a year’s supply. It will, therefore, probably startle a good many persons to find on the au- thority of a well-known hospital writer that could the infants of a year be ranged in a line in cradles the cradles would be overflowing and at the same time extend around the globe. The same writer looks at the matter in astiil more picturesge light. He imagines the babies being carried past @ given point in their mother’s arms, one by one, and the procession being kept up night and day until the last corner in the twelfth month had by. A sufficiently liberal rate is allowed, but even in going past at the rate of twenty a minute the reviewer at his post would only have seen the sixth part of this infantile host after they had been passing him at the rate of 1,200 an hour during the entire year! In other words, the babe that had to be carried when the tramp began would be able to walk when but a mere fraction of ory ey pen it, a when s Dabies was drawing to close there would be a rearguard, not of infants, but of romping six- year-old boys and girls. lS Ten ST Hard Summers of the Past. From the New York World, A German writer, dealing with certain prog- nostications (usually heard at this time of the year) of great summer heat, goes back for precedents, In 627, he says, the springs were dried up, and men fainted with the heat. In 879 it was impossible to work in the open fields. Im the year 993 the nuts on the trees were “roasted” as if ins baker's oven. In 1000 the rivers in France dried up, and the stench from 5 let val , Fl ee : sf if Fit . HH & : i! From St Nicholas. The training of the catcher has in it less va> riety, and is in consequence far more tedious than that of the pitcher, The work of strengthening the muscles of the shoulder and arm is the same as that for the pitcher; but ig the throwing practice the catcher should dee ‘vote his attention to the short-arm throw. He should begin at the short distance of perbape fifty feet and increase that distance very grad« ually. In fact, he ought,even when he cam readily throw the full distance from home #0 second with comparative ease, to do most of his throwing at two-thirds that distance. After the nine has began to work in the field it i not advisable for the catcher to throw to secs ond anything like the number of times the mas jority of amateurs attompt daily. Only after the nine has been ont of doors for two or three weeks is 80 much of the full distance throwing safe for any catcher who wishes to have his arm in good condition, ‘The position of the feet in throwing is all important. If he be a strong man of moderate weight he cau and should throw without ol ing the position of his feet. To this object Kymuasium practice should be devoted, Stands ing steadily upon his feet im the exact position assumed at the moment of catching the ball, he should, with a slight swing at the hips, be ble to send the bali down. ‘Throwing inacage with a low ceiling is the best thing possible for him, a it forces him to throw bard and on @ line. A point of catcher’s practice, which doea not enter into the work of the pitcher, is that of toughening the bands, Rowing on the ma« chines, climbing the rope, swinging on the flying rings aud hand ball, = ters be any court for that excellent game, will all toward this end.) He shouid consider, how- ever, that it is not merely toughening the skin of the hands that is desirable, but alsa hardening the flesh, so that it is not bruised, For this reason he sbouid pass Without gloves regularly every day. At the outset he should receive no swift balls, and should stop at the first feeling of anything be- yond a moderate tingling of the palma Hie hauds should receive their full hardening before he govs out into the field, for ordinary carefulness demands that he should do no catching behind the bat after the season. commen except with hands thoroughly pros tected by well-padded gloves. What is come monly called a stone bruise isone of the tens derest and most lasting mementos of careless« ness in this respect. In his gymnasium praos tice he should wear the mask, This seems to most catchers 4 useless bore; but the captain or coach should insist upon it, and the mask hould become almost @ part of the atcher himself. All his throwing and passing should be performed with his eyes behind its wires, in order from becoming thoroughly accustomed to na may add no inconvenience to bis work, The breast plate need not be #0 rigorously insisted upon. but even this should be worn frequently. Tbe right hand glove must aiways be worn when practicing throwing in order that thie also shall offer no unusual difficulty in the later work. Many acatcher may think that it looks silly to stand up with a mask and glove on to throw at a mark, but there isevery reason for doing this, and be will himself ap- preciate the value of such practice when he stands accoutered on the field behind the bate- man and with a runner on first, As often as it is convenient the catcher, par- ticularly if a novice, should by some one swing the bat before him while he is passing ballin the gymnasium. by the time he gota out of doors he should be thoroughly accuse tomed to the close proximity of the batsman toe Banker Von Kendler’s Trial. Vienna Dispatch to the London Standard, Herr Alfred von Kendler, whose trial for fraud commenced today before a Vienna jury, was the head of an old banking bouse founded in 1790, which failed in November last with lia- bilities amounting to upward of 2,500,000 florins. The prisoner, who was arrested a week. after this event, is charged with appropriating to his own use wosite Of private or firms amounting to nearly 2,000,000 florins, It appears that the accused, who was of extravae gant habits, began to tamper with the deposite im 1881, Among the persons defrauded is the head waiter at the hotel where Kendler used to dine and who bad given up the whole of bis savings, amounting to over 22,000 florins, The accused, who is a man of sixty years of when asked by-the president of the whether he plead guilty he answered that the facts stated in the indictment were, generally speaking, correct, but that, as he firmly be- lieved and hoped he would be able to replace the borrowed money, he did not feel guilty, The trial, which is expected to terminate to- morrow, is the topic of general conversation im Vienna society, ome A Fire Caused by Water. From the Albany Express A fire caused by water was the apparent pare adox that presented itself in the Union Cloth- ing Company's store on State street about 9 o'clock last evening. ! atchman employed by the concern discovered water dripping down from the ceiling in the forward part the store and telephoned for the protectives, that they might come and protect the with tarpaulins. A minute later the wood work about one of the electric light wires began to smoke and emit blue flame, and when the tectives arrived the services of an extinguisher aswell asof the tarpaulins were required, Chief Higgins and one of the members of the protectives received an electric shock while tearing away the wood work to which the wires were attached. The damage was compara- tively slight. The explanation of the appear- ance of the fire was that the wood work, satu- rated by the dripping water, became a conductor and drew the electricity from the wire, the insulation of which may have been defective in addition. The electric light is supplied by the Electric Illuminating Com- pany, and word was sent there to sends man to disconnect the wires. The water that caused all the trouble came froma closet om the third floor, which had overflow: eee A Female Bull Fighter.

Fraulein Maestrick was born near Berlin, but went with her parents as achild to Portugal, When she was seventeen an impressario, struck with her size and beauty, offered to train her asafemale bull fighter. The agent sent his pupil, who is not vet twenty, to compete at the show of female beauty which took place this spring at Lisbon, where she carried off the first prize. The advertisement proved an excellent one, forever since the impressario has been bombarded with letters from persons of all classes, wishing to know when “torera” is tomake her debut.
