Attorney Hazelton some days ago decided that the provisions of the eight-hour law ap- plied to the engineers employed at the pump- ing station in Georgetown. This opinion caused | considerable anxiety in the water department, for the appropriation bill provided for four en- gineers at @1,100 per annum and there was no | other fund out of which additional engineers could be paid, and if the department was held strictly to the law additional men would have to be employed. The pumps are operated all the time. One set of men work twelve hours | and then the relief comes on and finishes the | dag. | The first controller, however, decided that while the appropriation bill did ‘not permit of | any additional firemen or engineers, the clause in the eight-hour law providing for the em- ployment of men over eight hours in extra- ordinary emergencies covered the case in ques- tion, and the Commissioners could very prop- | erly considor this an extraordinary emergency and continue the men as heretofore at work twelve hours, A TE!

H Guilty of Emi A young white man entered police headquar- ters about 9 o'clock last night and very coolly informed Sergt. Perry, who was in charge, that he was wanted in England for an embezzle- ment in February last. After s short private talk with the sergeant the latter called a patrol wagon and sent him to the first precinct, where he was locked up. He gave the name of William Rennison, aged twenty-six years, and said he had been employed by James Hill & Co., manu- facturers of locks and hardware, in London, from boyhood, rising to the position of cashier, and inan unguarded moment he embezzled some of the funds, calculating to replace them, and when it became evident that an ex was impending he left.

An Old Man Named Henry Shipley Cuts His ‘Throat. Henry Shipley has lived nearly long engugh to celebrate his three score years and ten, but for some unknown reason he made an attempt this morning to bring his life to an’abrupt end- ing. He is sixty-seven yeats old and his home, at No. 419 7th street southwest, was the scene of the bloody deed. The unfortunate man took unto himself » young wife not many years ago and, it is said, disposed of his farm near Fred- ericksburg, Va. A few days ago he returned from Fredericks- burg with his son, He was quite ill and Inst night his son sat up with him until nearly 3 o'clock this morning and then he retired. An hour or more later the son’s attention was at- tracted to his father’s room by hearing raps on the floor, and. upon reaching the room he was surprised to find that his father had cut his throat so badly that blood was gushing from the wound and had badly stained the bed clothes. Dr. Cole, whose office is in the neighborhood, was summoned to the bedside of the wounded man and he suceeded in stopping the flow of blood. Later in the morning the patient was sent to Providence Hospital in the police ambu- _ Maryland Democrats Organize. ‘The Maryland democrats in the District got together last night at Endowment Hall, on 10th street, whore they will meet hereafter every Thureday eveni Mr. Chas.

Sees iraaties The Inquest in the Case of Dyer. Yesterday afternoon Coroner Patterson-held an inquest at the third precinct station in the case of George A. Dyer, the twelve-year-old colored boy who was run over bya train and Killed while on the ‘Long bridge Wednesday afternoon. The jury heard statements as to how the fatal accident occurred. All the state- | ments were to the effect that the boy ran acrose | the track to escape one train and ran against a| train coming in the opposite direction. Evi- dence was also given to show something about the speed of the train. The jury was satisfied that the accident was due to the boy's actions and not to any careless- ness or neglect on part ef the railroad employes, and returned a verdict accordingly exonerating the train hands, Sees “This Thing Must Stop.” To the Editor of The Evening Star: . Referring to labor troubles, strikes and lock- outs it is certainly proper to say that “this thing must stop.” Butt only can stop as the consequence of some adjustment. It is intol- erable that any men should be permitted to say that when they forsake their employment the | vacancy they create shall not be filled by any | one else, or that union men thal have aright to control men who do not belong to the union. ‘The employed should not have the authority to destroy or to control the business of their em- ployers. Onthe other hand, public opinion, which in the long run expresses essential jus- tice. has reached a point at which it will no longer tolerate the present condition of things in which employers have power to reduce the wages of their bs arbitrarily or to dis- charge the men at wil ‘The employed has a vested right to continue in his employment di good behavior, and the employer has a vested right to be protected from strikes, as a landlord cannot evict a ten- ‘ant without notice, and a tenant cannot escape liability for rent by moving out of a house without notice on his part. Neither party is competent to judge the rights of both. There is but one competent judge, and that is the people themselves ing through their con- stituted authorities, the ture and the court. Disputes between employer and em- ployed should be settled in court in the matter of wagesas much as it now ‘could be in the matter of contracts or of personal assaults. Strikes and lockouts should be made crimes by statute, and who participate in them should be prosecuted in the forms and by the authority of law. At present strikers’ may cripple business by their abstention from labor aa long as they please, provided they do not “break the peace,” employers may starve their employes into submission if th choose. The absence of law to meet the states, but can only act by consent of both par- ties toa dispute. No consent should be requisite for their action any more than con- sent is required when a party is summoned into court for maintaining « nuisance, carrying con cealed weapons or runnii asaloon s license.

A dispatch from Louisville says there is good grounds for the belief that Arthur Irwin will likely be ousted from the management of the Washington club and Danny Richardson made captain mannger. President Wagner is very sore over the poor work of bis team and is understood to have given Manager Irwin an overhauling, with the intimation that unless a | marked improvement takes place thortly change will be made in the management. ‘The players are known to be unfriendly to Irwin cause of the latter's continual scolding, and say he reminds them more of an old woman than a base ball general.

Attorney Haselton Directs Mr. Dumont to ‘Diemiss Liquor Prosecutions. For some months past, it is stated, there has been anything but smooth sailing in the office of Attorney Hazelton. It hae been apparent that the attorney and his assistant, Mr. Neil Dumont, either had different ideas of conduct- ing the business of the office or there was a dif- ference of.some other kind between them. Some time ago Mr. Hazelton changed the location of his office, and he did so, it is stated, without mentioning the fact to Mr. Dumont or inviting him to desk room in the same office, as had been the case theretofore. After this each officer paddied his own canoe, as it were, and each did so without consulting the other. All this was followed by a rumor of Mr. Dumont's offi- between crop; Police Court and became a matter of public record.

As you have not consulted with me about the prosecu- tions I do not know that the newspaper account is true, but if it is you ‘will dismiss any of such cases already com- menced and withhold any future prosecu- tions in that line until further directions. You can use this before the court if you like as your authority for dismissing the proceedings. Very truly yours, Geo. C. Hazieto, Attorney D.
