They are those who work exclusively at night, printing the proceedings of the pre- ceding day and aiding the solons at the Capitol by a rapid execution of the printing so neces- sary to a legislative body. To those selected for this work it means the sacrifice. during its continuance, of all their opportunities for secial enjoyment, as their labors begin at 6 p. m. and continue through those hours usually devoted to pleasant pastime and on into the “small” though fearfully “long-drawn out” hours of the morning, and they look forward to the close of a session an 1 their return to day work as an event worthy tobe marked and made memorable. The closing hours geuerally witnesses a parade through the various depart- ments of the vast establishment, and when they break ranks the usually quiet and darkest hour of the night is made bilarious by their hurrahs and other forms of expression of delight. But last mght they added another feature to their closing exercises. Congress Seems to realize the value of this force and the | seritices they perso: Uy suffer and always when asked to—vote them an extra compensa- tion, ‘hie year the committee representing the employes obtained a very satisfactory recognition from Congress, and in upprecia tion of the manner in which their interests had been presented and defended at the Capitol one of them last night, ina happily worded speech, presented to Capt. O. F. Dunlap of the Proof room foree and who had acted as chair- man of their committee with a handsome gold- headed cane. It is hinted that a banquet at an ap-town hotel will commemorate their emanci- pation this year. — Suit for Injunction in a Land Deal. Ellen C. Wight and W. C. Adams, by W.

The plaintiffs state that in April last they owned certain lots an I street between 7th and 8th streets north- west, but shortly before had. contracted to sell certain of them to defendants. There was a mistake im the description, however. The plaintiffs ask adecree for defendants to sur- tender the land in question; that they be re- strained from conveying it or in using it for building purposes detrimental to the plaintiffs. —_——— Prnsoxs in search of an investment or home should attend the sale at auction by Kateliffe, Darr & Co. of that very desirable three-story brick house, No. 2031 H street northwest, to- morrow, October 3, at So’clock p.m.—See ad- qortusement, See Sexect your lot at once in Wesley Heighta. * ————— Mexrens oF Coxoness, state committees and Others im want of campaign literature should address Geo.

M. B, Seanlon and Mary C. Cronin filed a bill yesterday by Messrs, Cook and Sutherland and Cole & Cole against Chester A. Snow, W. F. Hewett ot al. for thé appointment of a receiver for the Washington National Base Ball Clab for the cancellation of the assignment of the base ball grounds made to A. W. Coleman and to enjoin the proposed sale of the property to the government. The complainants claim to be stockholders of the ball club and state that the “supposed resolution” authorizing the as- signment of the grounds on North Capito! and G streets was passed when there no legal board of directors and was not authorized by the stockholders; that Snow and the persons claiming to act for the corporation acted in the dark; that the assignment was worth not Ileus than $85,000, and the consideration paid by Snow ($12,200) is conclusive evidence of the frauduient combination, It is stated that in 1888 there was offered 75 cents per square foot for the property. which would aggregate about 242,000, and that the late R. C. Hewett, the President of tho club, would nover havo sold at less than @1 per foot, They state that since the death of Mr. Hewitt there has been no legally elected board of directors and that Walter F, Hewitt was not legally elected presi- dent. They churgo that Walter F. Hewett falsely gave out that the club wasina bad financial condition and then bought shares of discouraged stockholders for €300 each. The: assert that when W. F.

The Wholesale Druggists’ Association held but one mecting yesterday. It, was in the evening, and the timé was devoted almost en- tirely to hearing the reports of committees on the drug market, transportation, boxiug and cartage, commercial travelers, paris greon and fraternal relations, There were two sessions today, one at 10 and one at 3, ‘The morning session today was given up to the reading of reports from the com- mittees on credits and ,collections, legislation, trade mark, énfringements and simulations, obituaries and the reports of the officers of the Druggiste’ Mutual Fire {nsurance Company and of the board of control. ‘he report of the committee on proprietary articles was the last important busincsy of the morning session. It dealt mainly with the relations of the manufacturers and proprietors to the cut- rate druggists and retailers, This latter class of tradeamen are by no means popular with the manufacturers and wholesale men and the present convention is doing ite best to fiud some way of putting a stop tothe business of cutting rates, They say that this practice is both damaging to the trade and at thesame time results in great frauds upon the public arising from the substitution of cheap and dele- terious articles in the place of standard and re- liable proprietary goods, ghd said Selling Liquor Without a Licen There was recently a ‘cook shop” on F street between 10th and 11th streets northeast and the police suspected that whisky was being soldthere. Policeman Ehiers of the 9th pre- cinct made an investigation of thocase and today Johu Strother was charged in the Police Court with keeping an unlicensed bar. Witnesses were called and they gave evidence of having purchased drinks in the place from the de- fendant. John denied that he was the pro- prictor, and said that the place was owned by awoman. She was not his wife, although some people, he said, called her ‘Mrs. Strother.” He said that he only « boarder in the house, Lawyers Moss and Ricks argued the case for the defendant and the court imposed a fine of $105. Counsel noted an appeal. ——_ “Drunk All the Time.” “Does he drink?” inquired Judge Miller of Officer Kendall in the Police Court this morn- ing. “Hi drunk all the time,” was the offi- cer's reply, “and he is fired out of the New York Lodging House about once a week.” Albert Blackburn was the man whose chi was under discussion and a sentence o days was imposed. —o___- Conferring the M.M.
