Many engaged in dancing on the pavilion. The floor committee—Messrs. A. E. Acker, W. J. Byers, J. W. Blandford, D. P. Hickling, R. J. McLean and H. K. Simpson—looked after the arrangements ina most satisfactory manner. At the conclusion of the second dance Mr. Geo. H. Walker presented Mra. Chas.

The Trouble in the Meyers Family Ven- tilated in the Police Court. There has been some little difficulty of late between Mr, and Mrs. Ellis G. Meyers that has resulted in a separation between them and their appearance in the Police Court today. A divorce suit is alsoon between them, arising out of what Mr. Meyers considers undue familiarity of his wife with Milo Burbage. This morning Burbage was in the Police Court charged with making threats against Meyers and with drawing a pistol on him. Meyers testified that he went to his own house, and Burbage, who was there at the time, drew a pistol on him and threatened his life. Burbage denied the whole story, and, while he admitted being at Meyers’ house, said that all the threats in the case bad been made by Meyers. (hog er Meyers also testified in Bur- bage’s behalf, and denied that he ever bad a pistol in his possession at the time, Judge Mills, however, held that Burbage was to blame for being at Mrs. Meyers’ house under the cireumstances and placed him under 7400 bonds to keep the peace. eee RAILROAD TO GETTYSBURG, Residents of Montgomery County, Md., Will Aid the Enterprise. The residents of Montgomery county, Md., are alive to the importance of building the proposed road between Gettysburg. Pa., and this city. A meeting of citizens was held y terday at Burnt Mills, Montgomery county, for the purpose of indorsing this enterprise and assuring the projectors of the hearty co-opera- tion and support of the property owners and residents of the county, About a year ago the surveys were made for an @xtension of the Harrisburg and Gettysburg railroad to this city. This proposed line passes near Burnt Mills, about four miles east of the station of Silver Springs. on the Metropolitan branch of the Baltumore and Ohio ratiroad. The exact line of the road, however, has not yet b decided. Mr. Robert Miller of Spen- cerville presided at the meeting yes- terday and Mr. Benjamin Fancett “was the secretary. Among those W. M. Stabler, James Clark, Warwick Miller, Robert Miller, Benjamin Faucett, James F, Burr, C. O. B. Bryan. O. H. P. Clark, Richard Waters. Amos Holland, Warwick Miller, jr., William Canby, George Bonifant, William E. Mannakce, George Lb. McCeney, Mr. Koss of District of Columbia, Thomas Hardessy. John Bean, James Moran, J. 8. J. Clark, Mr. Nichols, Dr. Francis Thomas, Eugene Hopkins, Charles Conley, J. 8. Haines of Carroll county and J. S. MeCeney. A letter was read by Mr. James F, Burr from Mr. Fuller, the president of the road, expressing his confidence in the enterprise. It was stated that what was needed was moncy, and several large property owners, through whose farms the proposed road passes, announced that they would not only grant right of way free, but would also tribute money toward’ the se of constructing the road. s. George Bonifant, W. E. Mannakee and James F. Burr were appointed acommittee on resolutions, and their report was adopted as follows: “That any company deciding on building such road may rely ‘on the co-operatiun of those residing or holding land along its route; that no charge will be made for right of way; that if desired subscription will be made to the capital stock. and that in every way a due nm of the advantages to result will be manifested.” A committee of five was appointed by the chair to. confer with the railroud company and report the result, solutions thanking President Fuller were adopted and the meeting adjourned to the 28th of October, when another meeting is to be held at the same p present were: The third grand annual picnic of the Brick- layers’ Union.

TRE MOVEMENT TO ESTABLISH A NATIONAL HOLI- DAY—ORGANIZATIONS WHICH WILL CELEBRATE MONDAY—A PARADE, SEVERAL EXCURSIONS AND A NUMBER OF SPEECHES. Monday next is Labor Day. It has not as yet taken its place on the calendar as a legal holiday, but the members of labor organizations and others interested in the welfare of the working classes hope that it will be so dis- tinguished before long. A bill is now pending in Congress to make the Ist of September, or Labor Day as it is known, a legal holiday in the District of Columbia. The legislature of New York state some two years ago passed a law constituting Labor Day a legal holiday. ‘This was tho result of a movement begun some four years before by the labor organizations in that state, and their success has stimulated the efforts made to the same end in other states, But thus far the empire stato is the only one that can claim the distinction of recognizing a day which is dedicated by the !aboring people as their holiday and day of recreation and rest. MORE HOLIDAYS NEEDED. A prominent labor leader told a Star re- porter the other day the movement in favor of a holiday for the working classes was part and parccl of the efforts which are being put forth to ameliorate the condition of working men and to enable them to enjoy the privileges hich are denied to those who work inces- santly every day in “The American people,” he said, “need more holidays. Wo work too hard and under tuo much of a strain, and we fail to get the good ont of life which is enjoyed by those who mingle their work and play'in moderation.” So far as the labor organizations are con- cerned they intend to add one more holiday to the limited number which the American peo- ple now enjoy. Some of them say Vory frankly that while this holiday is called Labor Day, yet the members of labor organizations don’t wang to rd f the day selfishly to them- sel fhey would welcome a general partici- pation in its pleasures and its rest. They would like to see it made a legal holiday for the en- tire country, so that tired workers, whether connected with labor organizations or not, could have another day in the year which they could spend with their families or in any man- ner that they should choose to select. HOW IT WILL BE OBSERVED HERE, Here in this city the observance of the day will be quite general among the members of the labor organizations. There will be public celebrations, so that all who wish to spend the day in that way. can join in with the members of the organizations under whose auspices the celebration will be held, THE BRICKLAYERS’ PARADE AND PICNIC. The Bricklayers’ Union, which is a large and important organization, intend to celebrate the day with a grand street parade and then wind up with the festivities of a picnic at the Scheutzen Park. The street demonstration is expected to be quite a feature and it is estimated that about 1,000 men will be in line, SPEAKING AT RIVER VIEW. There will be two excursions down the river, one to River View and the other to Marshall Hall. The River View excursion will be under the auspices of the Painters’ Assembly, and in addition to the other attractions a number of well-known speakers have been invited and it is expected that the pleasure seekers will tirn aside from their sports long enough to listen to the orators. The members of the Farmers’ Alliance of Prince George's county, Md., have been invited to participate in the celebration of the day at River View. The big gun of the alliance, Mr. Polk, the president of the na- tional body, is expected to be present, Other speakers who have been invited are Mr. A. M. Dewey, formerly editor of the Journal of United Labor; Mr, Paul T. Bowen and Mr. August Donath. AT MARSHALL HALL. The excursion to Marshe!l Hail will be under the auspices of the Plasterers’ Assembly. No regular program has been arranged, but every- body is expected to have a good time and to enjoy the holiday at this resort. Itis expected that permission will be granted to the mem- bers of labor organizations employed by the government to take part in the celebration of the day. a Stolen Shoes. Jesse Scott, young mulatto, was in the Police Court this morning, chargedwith the lar- ceny of a pair of shoes from Fritz Glock at the Scheutzen Park Wednesday night. The shoes, which wore elevens, were brought into the court today, and Mr. Burbeck, who sold the shoes to Glock, identified them and said that J ott brought them back to him to ex- change them for a pair of No. 93, ‘Thirty days in jail was Scott's tat Eee Ixptax Heap Tuips Friday and Saturd: evenings, With music and dancing.

As Otp Conxen Stone Orexep.—In renew- ing the Methodist Protestant Church the cor- ner stone of the church, laid sixty years ago, was dug up and opened. It contained, among other things, a “manuscript found in a bottle?’ being an account of the ceremonies ut the cor- ner-stone laying, which Maj. Montford had bottled up and put in the stone. Maj. Mont- ford was Maj. Harry Bell's decessor as curator of the Alexandi Museum. This is one of the memorials he has left, and as he was most assiduous in town matters other memo- rials of him will turn up from time to time during the next century, although the museum which he founded and cared for was burned long ago, and no one knows where he now lies buried, for he has no tombstone. He was himself a gatherer of old corner stones and had several in the museum, among others that of the first Catholic church, built on Washington and Church street in 1796. All the contents of the M.P. corner stone had decayed except a few coins and the manuscript of Maj.

Maxtxo rt Livery ron rae Poxtce.--The residents on Fenwick’s Hill have little if any respect for the officers of the law. Not a great while ago Officer Bradley was pretty badly treated there by three or four women while ho was making an arrest. Yesterday afternoon Charlotte Harris, Adeline Harris, Orlando Har- ris and Cora Kidwell were so drunk and dis- orderly that the attention of Officer Schneider was attracted to them, In atteripting to arrest the party he was subjected to rough treatment by them. Orlando Harris threw bricks and stones at the officer andone of the missiles went wide of its mark and struck a woman on the head. The assistance of Officer Jett was Fequired ‘and then the disorderly quartet were locked up. Cora Kidwell plead not guilty to the charge of vagrancy and drunkenness in the Police Court today. Officer Schneider gave testimony and Cora told ber story. It did not satisfy Judge Mills and she is $5 poorer now. Op Exoven to Kxow Berrer.—While on his rounds last night after 12 o'clock Officer Luther came across an old and decrepit white man in 8 house in company with several negro women, He was arrested for intoxication and at the station gave his name as Dennis Sweeney and his age as ninety-three years, Fixep vor Prorayity.—Wm. Schwartz was in the Police Court this morning charged with using very profane language on $2d street and with making threats against Charles Vincent, Vincent and another boy told of the occurrence. Sehwartz denied the chargo and told his side of the story and Judge Mills fined him 83 for the profanity. The threat case was nolle prossed. Froutixo Anovt 4 Max.—When Officer Ed- wards ht Laura Skinner and Belle Davis THE EIGHT-HOUR BILL. Representatives. After the morning hour in the House yester- to the special order, Mr. Con- noll’s bill constituting eight hours a day’s work for all inborers, workmen and mechanics em- ployed by or on behalf the government or by contractors doing work or furnishing mate- rials for the govornment and providing pen- alties for violation of its provisions was taken up. Debate on the bill was participated n by Mosars, Connell, O'Donnell, Atkinson of iWest Virginia, Caldwell, Wade, Reilly, Cum- mings, McComas, Lawler, Farquhar and Mutch- ler. Mr. Cutcheon moved to strike ont the clause which provided that no contractor shall per- mit any laborer to work more than eight hours, Mr. Butterworth strongly favored the amend- ment. He thought the time had not yet come when the American laborer should be for- bidden to work an extra hour for extra com- pensation. It was the American's right to utilize the gifts God had given him. end, instead of depriving him of that right, he would close for @ time the doors of a certain class of emigration, Mr. McKinley (Ohio) said that the bill did not limit tho opportunity of workingmen to gain alhivelihood, So far as the government was concerned, instead of being a limitation on the opportunity of American freemen to carn a living it increased their opportunity to earn «living. When eight hours was fixed as a day's lnbor every four days gave an additional day's work to some workman who had hitherto been working ten hours a day, Mr. Flower asked leave to offer an amend- ment extending the law to clerks in the first } and second-class post offices, Objection was made, Mr. Cutcheon’s amendment was then passed— es, 87; noes. 52. Mr. McComas offered an amendment. which was also agreed to, striking out the clause which required contracts for material to be furnished the government to be on tho basis of the cight-hour law. ‘The bill was then passed, A Saloon Keeper Fined for an Assault. W. V. Noland, who claimed to be a United States detective from Topeka, Kan., presented a dismantled appearance when he appeared in tho Police Court this morning to testify against James White, who keeps a saloon at 1222 Penn- sylvanin avenue. His head was all bandaged up as a resuit, he charged, of injuries indicted upon him by White. It was claimed, in the course of the trial on tho part of the defense, that Noland, who hails really from Maryland, went into White's place last night and ordered 15 cents’ worth of liquor which ho then de- clined to pay for; that White grabbed Noland’s silk hat and kept it as security for the pay- ment; that Noland then left to get an officer to arrest White for stealing his hat, and finally ended up by starting to assault White, who then struck lim in self-defense, Judge Miller, however, did not seem to understand it that way and fined White €20 or thirty days in jail, An appeal was noted. _ ISAAC MURPHY SUSPENDED, He Cannot Ride During the Sheepshead and Gravesend Meetings. Isaac Murphy, the jockey who rode Firenze very badly in the Monmouth handicap, and whose fall from her back after the finishing post had been passed was attributed by him to a mixture of punches, apollinaris and ginger ale, was yesterday suspended from riding dur- ing the Sheepshead Bay and Gravesend meetings, a period of one month from next Monday. The notice which contained the result of the deliberations of the executive committce was posted in a prominent place in the secretary's office and read: “Owing to the condition in which Isaac Murphy was when he rode Firenze in the Monmouth handicap, he is hereby sus- pended from riding during the Sheepshea ! Bay and Gravesend meetings.” Mr, Withers. who on Wednesday gave it as his opinion that Murphy was neither drunk nor drugged, was yesterday asked what Murphy's “condition” age of Brookdai the public can draw its own inference.” The New York Sun “Murphy was at the track for some sterday, He was very penitent, and ex- pressed his willingness to make au altidavit that he will never drink another drop of liquor so long as he remains in Mr. Haggin’s empioy. ‘There is any amount of sympathy for the b. and much regret was expressed in certain quarters that he was not let off with a stiff fine $1,000, but Mr. Withers was inexorable and it is difficult to see what other course he could have taken under the circumstances,” soe ~ SIX? YEARS IN CHAINS, Cruel Treatment of an Insane Son by a Pennsylvanian, Dr. Henry M. Wetherill, secretary of the Pennsylvania state board of lunacy, has just investigated the case of George Young, a lina- tie, who has for sixteen ycars been chained to | a window, sill in the farm house of his father, John Young, about 12 miles from Franklin, Venango county. At the Young homestead, in the midst of a 10-acre field, remote from the highway, Dr, Wetherill found the unfortunate young man manacled, He was filthy, squalid and ragged, with a pale, expressionless face, thin beard and matted hair, The wretched fellow was clad only in a woman's old, dirty calico wrapper. ‘The chain that bound him to the window sili was riveted to a strong leather belt fastened firmly about his waist without buckles, Around an old settee under the w dow sill a groove was worn in the floor by years of walking.

Lightning Not Alwavs From Clouds. From the Rochester Democrat. During the progress of the electrical storms of July 8 in this state it was noted in several places that electrical discharges passed from the earth to the clouds as well as from the clonds to tho earth. Tho Post-Express de- scribed this phenomenon as observed at Iron- dequot bay. A gentleman who recently re- turned from the Adirondacks observed tho same eloetrical action. Discharges passed from the hilis-across Star lake to the clouds and from the clouds to the hilis. Similar observa- tions were made in this city in 1885 or 1836, Preceding and during the volcanic eruptions in New Zeeland, June 11, 1886. electric fire balla or meteors were observed to pass from the carth, These clectrical discharges were from regions considerably removed from the volcanic craters. It has been urged that the eye cannot detect the direction of a lightning flash, and that the passage of a discharge from the earth to the sky is only apparent, an optical illusion. ‘This objection is employed mainly to.support a the- ory that the is always from the sky to the earth. the reasoning of the objection be correct, what is there to support the theory that the Passage is always from the sky to the earth? ‘The statement that discharges are in- variably from the sky to the earth is based on observation, and-has no other basis.

ASTOR’S NARROW ESCAPE. While Driving. John Jacob Astor, son of William Astor, had @ narrow escape yesterday at Newport. A green horse was tried by him in his light wagon and the animal ran away with him. The groom was thrown out and not much hart. Mr. Astor was not so fortunate.
