Col. and Mrs. Robert L Fleming gave s tea yesterday afternoon from 4 t« 6 o’elock to have their friends meet Mr. Stoddard. The occasion bronght together charming company and was much enjoyed. The artistic beanties of the house were enhanced by the superb specimen roses filling the vases here and there, and scarcely a visitor but lingered to admire them in passing from one room to another.

The Misses Morgan, Miss Emma Prall, Miss Coppeck and Miss Pierce were the agreeable assistants to the hostess in dispensing the hospitalities of her house. The tea table decorations were all in pink. The candles burned under pink shades. A silver bowl of ink hyacinths in the center of the table per- Famed ‘the room. China bowls of strawberries were another effective glow of color, bonbons and sweetmeats were rosy pink also. In the library bowls of champagne and claret punch were ‘refreshing drinks.

A -Mocting Last Night Opposes the Further . Imposition of the License. ‘The produce dealers held another meeting at the Nationalists’ Hall, on F street, last night for the purpose of further discussing the quos- tion of license tax upon their business and to urge the passage of-the bills pending before Congress to annul the tax. Mr. John H. Crane addressed the meeting and was severe in his denunciation of Assessor Trimble. Mr. Crane inquired by what right the taxed ond class of deal exempted another. He read the second sec- tion of the act of August 23, 1873, which vides that every person whose business it is to buy and sell produce, fish. meats or fraite from wagons, carts, stalls or stands shall be re- garded as. produce dealer, and shall pay an annual license tax of $25. said he, “the assessor assumes the authority to repeal part of the ordinance by exempting from li- cense tax dealers in fish and meats that are named in the act and adding thereto butter, cheese and eggs that are not named in the act.” Mr. R. B. Youngs, in addressing the meeting, advised the dealers not to pay the licens¢, but tomuko a fight upon the question. He then offered aseries of resolutions arraigning As- sessor Trimble, denouncing the license tax as unjust; and stating that as “it is reported that there is a surplus of over half a million dollars to the credit of the District of Columbia in the United States Treasury, which it is to use in part payment of the bonded debt caused by the construction of a worthless and abandoned army officer tun- nel,fa part of which surplus, under the present license tax, was wrang from our bard earnings in the markets without consulting us; therefore be it resolved, that to further continue to im- Pore a heavy discriminating tax upon us, such as no other city hus, for trying to obtain an honest living, in addition to our other taxes, is ny violation ‘of every principle of justice, and denounce it as infamous.” ‘The resolution was adopted. ————_ Cases of Assault. Mamie Ford and Bello Williams, negro wo- men who live ina house near 1334 and Catreets, engaged in a fight about 11:00 o'clock last night, and when Policeman Settright answered a cry of murder he found that Mamie Ford had been struck on the head with a bottle. Belle Williams had the blood-stafned bottle in her possession. As Mamie had commenced the trouble Judge Miller thought the striking with the bottle wasa natural consequence of the fight and fined the women $5 eaca. Arthur Frey was the name of a young col- ored man who was arraigned for ‘assaulting Jim ‘Taylor. The timely appearance of Police- man Lynch probably saved the prisoner from having to auswer a more serious charge. The young men bad engaged in a difficulty and Frey t off and secured a revoiver from an Acquaintance in O strect alley. He returned as fur as Glick’s alley and was loading the Weapon when the officer arrested Lim. The prisoner told the judge that the other man as- saulted him first. He admitted that he was guilty of the charge of concealed weapons, and on that charges fine of 250 or ninety days was Impoved. For the assault he was given sisty ays. see es A Verdict for Mra. Casey. Yesterday afternoon the jury in the Circuit Court, Judge Montgomery, in the case of Eva A. Casey against the National Union (a mutual benefit insurance association) returned @ ver- dict for plaintiff! for $5,000 with about six years’ interest. The case was to recover the amount above, insured on the life of Casey, who died in 1886 from a dose of “Ii on Rats,” taken, as was claimed by the de- fendant, with suicidal intent, and it was a trial in which there was considerable interest felt by the life insurance people. Messrs. R. R. Perry and E. B. Hay appeared for the plaintiff and Messrs. ‘T. H. Pherson and) Enoch Totten for the defendant. The plainuff claimed that the dose was taken by accident, as for heart failure and to relieve the pain M Casey had been in the habit of taking digit and other drugs, and suffering excruciating pain at the time he took the wrong drug. genesis Marriage Licenses.

Gathering of the Clans at Albaugh's Grand Opera House, A VICTORY FOR NORRIS Claimed in the Selection of Mr. Shillington for Temporary Chairman—Speeches by Sev- ¢ral Distinguished Men—Report of the Com- mittee on Credentials Adopted. —_—___ ‘There was ® great gathering of the demo- cratic clans this morning at Albaugh’s Opera House. The delegates chosen at the primaries held Tuesday evemng met in convention for the purpose of declaring the will of the demo- cratic party of the District in the choice of two delegates and two alternates to represent the District in the national democratic conven- tion. In addition to the delegates and the al- ternates, numbering 152, there was a good rep- resentation of the District democraey. who had . OUTSIDE THE HALL. gathered for the purpose of witnessing fie proceedings. The interior of the house was brightened” by American flags, which decorated the boxes and were suspended from the center of the st»ge. The latter was set as a garden centor and two rowsof chairs supplied the seats for those who had been invited to seats on the platform. Admission to the house was strictly by ticket. The orchestra chairs were occupied by tho delegates, while in or- chestra circle and in the first gallery were the spectators. A number of ladies were present. THE CALL To ORDER, * ‘The delegates were rather slow in taking their sents, as they evidently found it more in- teresting to stand on the outside and discuss the situation. Owing to the uncertainty that existed as to the strength of the two leading candidates there was a good deal more interest displayed in the proceedings than has been usually the case | with the democratic conventions of the Distriet. Shortly before M1 o'clock «Mr. John — Be the chairman of the Distr ct central committee requested the delegates to be seated. ‘Thin was an operation that required some time. ‘The chairs on the platform were occupied by mem- of the central committec democrats. Among those seated on the stage were A. A. Wilson, James L. Norris, Dorsey Clagett, Frank Hume, Commissioner Ross, Mr. Biscoe. John Drew, John Miller. M. I. Weller, Chas. W. Darr. Dr. Charles Alien, Robert Ball, Wm. Dickson, H. 0. Claughton and Mills Dean. CALLING THE ROLL. In calling the convention to order Mr. Boyle spoke a word in bebaif of order and harmoni- ‘ous action, and said that if the convention pro- ceeded in such a spirit the business before it could be done expeditiously. The roll as pre- pared by the central committee was read by the secretary, Mr. James F. Brown. The only vacancy was in the twelfth district, where there isa coutest, and the committee was unable to de- cide which delegation had the prima facie right to seats, In the case of the tenth, eighteenth and nineteenth districts, notice of contest hav- Wm.

A DISTURBER SAT UPON. When nominations for temporary chairman were called for the names of Mr. Joseph Shil- lington and Mr. John Boyle were put in nomi- nation. Mr. Charles Thompson attempted to make a speech, but objection was made and Mr. Thompson contented himself with an earnest nomination of Mr. Boyle. ‘The roll was then called and each delegate responded to his name, voting for either Mr. Boyle or Mr. Shillington. While the roll call was in progress Mr. Killeen, who belonged to the contesting delegation from the nineteenth district and who occupied u seat on the plat- furm, attempted to make a speech, evidently a protest, against recording the vote of the dele gates from his district whose names were on the roii. His attempt, bowever, aroused a storm of protests und W. A. Hutchins gave notice that if any interruption to the proceed- ings of the convention came from any one on the platform he would request the sergeant-at- arms to remove the offender. ‘The convention applauded this declaration of the right of the convention to transact their business without interference from those not delegates, and then the roll call proceeded.

As men known to be favorable to N formed ‘& majority of the committee on credentials it was thought that the Dickson adherents would not receive many additions through this com- mittee. Mr. James F. Brown, who was named by Chairman Shillington as the chairman of the committee. is an outspoken Norris man.

When the balf hour for the recess had passed and the committee had not returned some one in the audience suggested that Representative Meredith be called in to address the convention, Mr. Meredith was seated in a box, but when he was upon he responded very cheerfully. Chairman Shillington prefaced hi remarks with a graceful little speech, which the audience applaaded and continued the ap- piause when Mr. Meredith bowed his acknowl- edgments.

Then branching into national politics he evoked the wildest applause by an allusion to the possibility of the democratic party seeking @ candidate in the state of Maryland. The en- thusiasm was #0 grest that the speaker was obliged to pause and the name of Gor- man rang through the house, Con- tinuing Mr. Meredith referred to Gorman as the leader of the party in the fight against the force bill and again the applause burst forth. The speaker said that it was evident Senator Gorman had friends in this District The speaker also id a tribute ‘o “that grand man” ill of New York, and then touching upon local affairs he spoke of the citizens of the trict as being taxed without representation and closed with p panegyric on the democratic party as the defender of constitutional liberty. ‘MR. JEFF CHANDLER'S ADDRESS. The next speaker was Mr. Jeff Chandler, who spoke of the advantages enjoyed by the people of ington, superior to that of any com- munity in being at the center of the govern: ment of the nation. In speaking of the com- ing presidential election he spoke of the important issues at stake and expressed the hope that the delegates to that convention would come together with the intention of electing aman who ean win, He was of the opinion that if the dem cratic party could re- DISCUASING THE CHANCES, gain the sympathy of the toiling masses it would be invincible. He believed it could be done and he would like to see men sent to the convention of broad sympathies and in touch with the working people. ‘A voice —“We are going to do it.” He pointed out what he considered as sig- nificant fact, that there was a growing diver- gence of interest between the east and west. | He attributed this to the growing insolence of the capitalists of the east, who absorb in the form of interest a large percentage of the profite earned in the west. While in the east large business buildings were being erected, in the west am em- pire had been founded. He counseled that the eastern delegates to the national con- vention should meet the western delegates in a spirit of conciliation and concession, and any nomination based on such action be was conti- dent would result in victory for the demo- cratic party. MR. H. C. CLAUGHTON TALK. In response to repeated calls from the audi- ence Mr H. C. Claughton, who had aseat on the plati.-m, came forward and made a speech which was an eloquent tribute to the cause of the democratic party. He then went on to speak of the signs of the times which pointed to the importance of a union between the south and west for the — purpose of putting do th» jinsolence and arrogance of capital. He considered that it Was essential to party success that such an. in. dication ought not to be diregarded. He em phasized the fact that the party in selecting a candidate should choose a man who is not the mere product of a machine, but who is be- lieved to be honest and true. A LULL IN THE PROCEEDINGS. The supply of speakers seemed to be ex- hausted, and shortly before 1 o'clock a com- mittee was appointed to ascertain from the committee on credentials what progress they were making and when they would be ready to report. After a while the committee returned and made the gratifying announce- ment that the committee would be ready to re- port in twenty minutes. ‘The convention felt #0 good, or at least thore who retained their seats did, that some one called for Ed. Hay, but’ as that gen- tleman was not ‘in sight the call was not taken up with any great unanimity. Mr. Shillington, however, was kind enough to notify the ’ audience ' that Mr. Hay was about and that a man of his known good nature could not resist their demands if they only called loud enough. This bint was taken up by the audience and Mr. Hay came forward and proceeded to speak. From his opening sentence, which was “Fel- low citizens and empty’ seats,” to the close he held tho attention of the audi- ence and conveyed quite a good deal of information about politics and the District. He lamented that the District was not yet of age, but hoped that the time would not be far distant when that happy period in the history of the District would be reached. About 1:30 the committee returned, the dele- gates flocked into the hail and the convention settled down to the serious business of the day. ‘Before, however, the report was made at the suggestion of the chairman the sergeant-at- arms, Mr. John B.
