8 - CITY AND DISTRICT. €F The local circulation of Tux Evextxo Branis not only the largest and fullest, but it is Also the szst, since the paper goes not alone {nto the hands of the people of the District of Coiambis as a body, but regularly info Meir Romes,—into the families of all classes, and into those of the money-spending as well as the mcney-esrning portion of the community. An “advertisement in its columns therefore reaches ‘the eye of everybody worth reaching. TO KILL FEDERAL OFFICERS. ive Desperate Characters Who Were in the Conspiracy Arrested. ‘The Attorney General is in receipt of a tele- gram from the United States marshal at Pensa- cols, Fia., announcing the arrest of five des- perate characters, who have confessed to a complicity in = conspiracy to kill five federal oilicers in December last. There were two deputy marshals and three revenue officers in the party, traveling together in pursuit of some moonshiners. Starting in Alabama they crossed the Florida line and stopped for the night at a small railroad station named Bonsfay. While they were cating crowd of twenty-five men fire on the house and attempted to wreck their carriages and kill their horses. ‘The officers ran out and returned the tire on the outlaws. After a severe skirmish the led in driving the others away, bat two of the victors were wounded, though not seriously. —____-=++_—__—_- THE DIRECT TAX. How Individual Claims in States Where the Government Collected May Be Pald. Tressury officials are considering the best method of settling the direct tax claims of in- dividuals in those states where the tax was col- lected directly by United States officers. The act that in such eases the money in settlement of direct tax claims shall be paid to the governors of the states in trust for the elaimants. It so happens, however, that the records of these collections are in the custody of the government and that the governors have no record information on the subject. Sev- eral ways out of the difficulty have been sug- gested and the one most likely to be adopted is the governors to appoint agents to make transcripts of the government records and for the governors to settle the claims in accordance therewith. Under this plan the state would be allowed to retain all that portion of its allot- ment for which claim shall not be presented in six years from the date of the passage of the act. Applications for their share have been already received from three states in which a portion or all of the tax was collected by federal ofti- cers. These are West Virginia, Delaware and North Carolina, In the last named state the entire tax wad collected by the government i the same is trae ——_—__---____ DEMOCRATIC HOLDOVERS. Record of About Three Hundred Postmas- ters Now Being Looked Up. Postmaster General Wanamaker is going over the papers in the cases of some 300 presi- dential postmasters whose commissions for four years have not yet expired. ‘This review of the cases is simply to ascertain whether there is any complaint or charges against the present incumbents, who, as demoerats serving under a republican adminis- tratibn.are naturally expected to preserve great official circumspection. Mr. Wanamaker does not expect to wield the decapitating knife to any great extent, but where a surgical operation of this character is found to be called for by the public interests then it will be performed with the diplomatic skill and attractive grace which so eminently characterize the public career of Mr. Marshall | Cushing, the private secretary of the Postmas- ter General. A number of presidential post offices will have to be filled in the course of a few weeks without the necessity of making va- eancies. The annual readjustment of salaries of postuasters will be made, based on the re- ceipts of the offices, and it is expected that some eighty or ninety offices will be advanced to the presidential class. —_-+-__—___ ‘The Coeur D'Alene Reservation, Secretary Noble has sent @ telegram to Rep- Tesentative Wilson of the state of Washington stating that upon due consideration of the mat- ter it is his judgment that the Coeur d’Alene In- dian reservation in Idaho, as described in the Indian appropriation act approved March 3, 1891, was opened by force of the statute, and needs no proclamation or further action to accomplish that end. This opinion, however, the Secretary says, is given without ‘any argu- ment made to the department, and it is to be received as the expression of views that may be ebanged if there is any dispute arising concern- ing the vality of the case. The northera sec- tion of this reservation, which is open to rettle- ment, contains about 30,000 acres and may be entered under the homestead act upon pay- ment of $1.50 per acre, one-half of which is to be paid paid within two years.

Be- the International fore a strike could be a succegs it would need the approval of one of the zor, There is a big strike fund in the international treas- ury, but unauthorized strikers cannot draw a cent from it. Last night special meeting of Columbia Typographical Union—in which the govern- ment printing office compositors refrained from participation—decided to delay enforce- ment of the new scale until the chairmen of the job offices had consulted with the obj proprietors and reported to snother meeting to be held on Friday evening. WHAT PRESIDENT KENNEDY SAYS. President John L. Kennedy of Columbia Typographical Union is laid up at his home with a severe cold and is almost voiceless. To a Stax reporter who asked him whether it was true that the government printers were re- msible for the pro) increase of = jown-town offices Mr. Kennedy aid: “There is no truth whatever in the statement and Mr. Darby knew it to be untrue when he made it. Of course, belonging to the same union we all meet together, but in considering this pro increase in the union the government printers kept their hands off at every stage. The down- town printers alone are responsible for the in- crease in their scale of prices. And God knows there ought to be an increase in their wages. They are the hardest worked and poor- est paid skilled workingmen in the District. ‘Their employment is uncertain and they do not average $10 per week. They are below the level of the hod carriers in respect to wages and hours of employment. The hod carriers re- ceive $2.50 per day and work but eight hours. The printers work ten hours, and. as I said, do not average $10 per week. Their demand is modest indeed—only 254 cents per 1,000 ems— and it is founded on justice.” ALL PROPRIETORS DO NOT OBJECT. “Do all the proprietors object to the in- ” (0, sir; ® majority of them will cheerfully Pay it, The proprietor of one of the publishing houses in the District says all of them can afford to pay the increase, and will payit. The increase in the pay-roll of the gen- Weman who is making the most noise about it ‘Will not exceed €15 per week. “Objection has been made to the extra charge for overtime provided in the new scale. That extra charge is but just. Any man who is com- pelled to breathe the foul atmosphere of a composing room for more than nine hours a day ought to be paid double price for so doing; the scale only calle for an extra 10 cents per 1,000 ems. But the real — of charging extra for overtime is not that our members shall get overtime work and extra compensa- tion, but to induce the proprietors to emplo: a sufficient number of men to finish their worl in nine hours and thus give employment to more meu.” THE UNION WOULD SUPPORT THE STRIKERS. “Suppose the employers should refuse to pay the new scale and a strike resulted, would the union support the strikers?” “Most assuredly. Not only would Columbia Union do it, but we have a large strike fund in the bands of our international officers, into which every member of our union has paid 10 cents a month for many years past, and our members would have the beneStof that fund. However, permit me to express the hope and belief that there will be no strike. The increase isso smail that the proprietors will not feel justifled in changing their forces of employes ‘on account of it.” a age “Lt is charged,” suggested the zeporter, “that the uniou did not confer with the’ proprietors = did it give them suiticient notice of the new io” “That statement,” said Mr. Kennedy, was “‘cal- culated to deceive the public. ‘The scale was adopted and copies of it sent toevery publisher in Washington six weeks prior to the date on whieh it was proposed to put it in operation. The proprietors never asked for a conference A few of them got together and resolved that they would not pay itand so notified us. Of course, under the circumstances there was no chauce for a conference. But, as I said before, a majority of the publishers of this city recognize the justice of the new scale and they will pay it.” ——___ DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, BIDS OPENED. ‘The Commissioners today opened bids for strect lanterns. The following bids were re- ceived: H. J. Gregory, $8.85; Jacob G. Minor, #4; the Wheeler Reflector Company, $3.73; New York and New Jersey Globe Gas Com; pany, $3.35.

The papers were submitted to Lieut. Hollen- berger for report and yesterday they were re- turned with his endorsement to the effect that some monthe ago a similar complaint was in- vestigated and found reasonable, but as there tno law in Georgetown that will reach it, no relict was afforded. Lieut. Hollenberger says it seems to hima that the proper procedure ia the cuse would be in the efvil courts. MISCELLANEOUS. ‘The Commissioners have ordered the paving of the sidewalk on the east side of 9th street from H street to New York avenue with asphalt permit ‘tem. _ Wim. B.

In the court room proper there is a raised platform for the jury and the portable witness box can be moved around until the best place isfound. The rails have been changed about ‘so that there is no danger of the witnesses and lawyers getting in the wrong place and being taken for prisoners. Asheretofore printed in Tue Star, Judge Miller will start off with the jury trials and Judge Kimball will take the police tribunal be- fore which the cases not triable by a jury will be brought. as well as many cases in which jury Judge Kimball's court has also been fitted up and as soon ashe qualifies he can take his sent | Dr. W. and dispense justice. This room is on, the upper floor, but to reach it several doors have to be passed through as well as rooms and pas- sages, 80 that it will bo rather difficult to reach. The room is in that part of the building which ‘was recently rented, and ita interior arrange- ments gives it the ‘appearance of a country magistrate’s office rather than of court of justice of the capital of the nation. ‘The prison dock and witness stand are both constructed of ‘tongue and groove plank and can be moved to any part of the room. ‘Thischeap way of getting the place ready for the judges, as already stated, was necessitated decause of the small amountof funds appro- Priated. Luma Bt ALEXANDRIA, VISITING KNIGHTS. ‘Washington Commandery of the Knights of the Golden Eagle paid a visit to Alexandria Com- mandery of that order last night. The Alexan- dria knights met their Washington brothers at the t with the Alexandria drum corps, and the two commanderies paraded along King street, attracting a large crowd. After a pleas- ant evening spent by the members of the two commanderics the Washingtonians returned in the late train, A SHOOTING AFFAIR. Young Alexandria took holiday yesterday and the usual egg rolling carried many parties to the hills and slopes adjacent to the city. At the suburb near Hunting creek bridge a col- ored man named Josiah Bowles got into a row with some others, and when Constable Borden of Fairfax county attempted to arrest him he ran off and the constable shot three times and inflicted some flesh wounds upon him. He came into town and at the police station sought to get out a warrant for Mr. Borden, buts war- rant was ref GAINING STRENGTH. The Alexandria Manufacturing and Loan As- sociation met at Paff's Hall last night and made arrangements to go to work ander their charter. The capital of the association will not be large at first and will be carefully handled. DEATH OF CHAS. C. BERRY. Mr. Charles C. Berry, a citizen of Alexandria weil known in Washington, where he was clerk in the establishment of Morrison & Bro. on Pennsylvania avenue, died at his home on Cameron st Alexandria, last evening, after several weeks’ illness. CHURCH DEDICATION. The new Methodist Protestant Church on Washington street was dedicated Sunday with appropriate observances. President Wm. M. Strayer of the Maryland annual conference and Rev. F. T. Tagg of the foreign missions board, with Rev. Dr Poisal, the pastor, officiated on the occasion. ‘The original church was built in 1890, the congregation having been organized as early as 1828 as part of the associated Metho- dist organization, but afterward became the Meth t Protestant Church. The first meet- ing was held at dwelling on King and Pitt streets, and there Phares ‘Troop and a number of other members of the Methodist body made an agreement to unite with a Methodist church without bishops. The congregation has always numbered among its members some of the best citizens of Alexandria and is now larger and more flourishing than ever before. I’ edifice is based upon the old church, but is, cept parts of two walls, an entirely new build- ing—an ornament to its neighborhood, just in ‘NOTES, The Alexandria boom is attracting much at- tention, and among the letters received by real estate agents here are several from owners of land in Washington county looking to an ex- change of country real estate for city prop- on both sides of 9th street between North | °*tY- ‘Ihe schools of the city opened today after the Easter holidays, ‘The fair of the ladies of St. Mary’s Church in sid of the ——_ fund to pay for aoe garden, recently purchased, will open t at Sodality Lyceum Hail. - ‘The Producers’ Dairy Company of Washing- ton was organized here on Saturday at R.

The associates of Mr. George William Hill, chief of the division of records and editing, Department of Agriculture, to the number of about twenty, called at his house last evening to pay their respects on the twenty-fourth wed- ing anniversary of Mr.and Mrs. Hill. As sistant Secretary of Agriculture Edwin Willits, in a neat and complimentary speech, presented to Mr.and Mrs. Hill abandsome onyx french clock. Mr. Hill feelingly responded. Jadge Thompson and the McKinley Bill. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: I clip this from Tue Star: “Judge Thomp- son of Portsmouth, Ohio, who so ably repre- sented the eleventh district until the McKinley Dill raised him out, was recently tendered a grand reception regardless of politics in his town and presented with a magnificent silver tea service.” ‘Tux Star is always s0 “fair and square” that I venture to call your attention to the inac- curacy of this statement. Judge Thompson was not “raised out” by the McKinley bill any more than Maj. McKinley was. They were both “raised out” by the gerrymander.

Only two citizens of New York are conspic- dously mentioned in connection with the nom- ination. Mr. Cleveland's friends dwell on his merits and :his worth; Gov. Hill's point to po- litical strength and availability. The former cannot deny Cleveland’s serious lossof strength, notably in the south and west, and can hardly jive satiefactory assurance that he will carry New York. On the other hand, Mr. Hill's su porters declare that he would sweep New York, cite the fact that ne carried the state when Cleveland lost it, and claim with much force that the governor's popularity is growing in those quarters of the nation where the ex- President's is waning. Well, if Gov. Hill's candidacy means New York democratic and Cleveland's New York doubtful, if the former insures no falling off in the southern and western party vote and the latter threatens losses, these are practical mat- ters for weighty consideration. It may be well for persons who have not yet suffered from the prevailing grip to note well its average symptoms in a typical case, as prepared by Dr. Stevens of Michigan and pub- lished in the Medical Record of this city. ‘Thongh the respiration and pulse are usually regular upon the first day or two of the attack it should not be neglected. Languor, dumpy headache and evening headache are often ex- rienced on the third day. On or before the fourth day a temperature of the body exceed- ing 100 Fahrenheit is commonly ob- served, with intense pain in the head and back and alittle later broncho-pneumonia and de- cided pneumonia appearing. But sometimes the disease begins with the second or third stage and develops the others later. Stevens’ studies show that grip is appar- ently a disease of deoxidation from causes ex- ternal to the body and varies with the barome- trie condition of the sir atmospheric conditions.
