A THIRD TERM FOR THE PRESIDENT, Many of the Other Officers Also Elected by the Association. TEMPERANCE RESOLUTIONS. A third term has no terrors for the National Association of Local Preachers, fm session at Hamline Church, especially when it refers to an officer who has served them faithfully. So today they elected Rev. John R. Wright, D. D., of this city, their president for the third successive term. Dr. Wright protested, but it was of no avail, as the members think that they know a good thing, and believe under such circumstances tm holding on. They therefore hung on to Dr. Wright. In the course of the few re- marks that their new president made in ac- knowledgment of the honor which had been dohe him he spoke of the benefit to the city which the meeting of the associa- tion had been, and said that several mem- bers had told him that the convention was the pleasantest they had attended for years. ‘He was glad that this was so, not only for thelr own sakes, but for the credit of the city, which was noted for its hospitality. The other officers elected were as follows: Vice presidents, R. E. Hudson, East Ohio conference; George W. Finlaw, New Jersey gonference; R. D. Calihan, Kentucky con- ference; C.'B. Stemen, M. D., A.

Today the convention entered upon the last day’s session nd there was manifest & disposition to dispose of the business so that the association would be ready to ad- Journ when the time comes, which is at the close of the session this evening. A suggestion that several brothers were pre- pared to read the essays which they had Deen requested to prepare for this meeting did not meet with a very hearty response, In fact, when time was requested for a brother to present his essay it was decided to go en and finish the business and then give the essayists the floor. A good deal of time was consumed in discussing the report of the committee ap- pointed to prepare a plan for the forma- tion of a mutual aid society. Quite a wide difference of opinion was developed in re- gard to the details of the organization, which finally prompted a brother to in- quire if it was intended to make it com- Pulsory upon the members of the associa- tion to join, and when he was informed that it was not, he at once moved that the entire report be adopted. This action was taken with the understanding that the com- mittee should go over the scheme of or-| ganization and perfect it and then it would be open for members to join. The place for holding the next convention came in for a share of discussion. No formal invitation had been received. al- though there were several delegates who suggested their own cities. It was finally determined to leave the choice of a place, as well as the time, to a committee consist- ing of the president, the secretary and Prof. Hudson. Resolut! on Temperance. ‘The committee on temperance submitted @ report in the form of resolutions, which were adopted and which stated that “The legalized dram-shop has become the great- est financial and mora! problem before the @burch and nation,” and as “the bishops cf our church have declared that to license or tax the traffic in alcoholic beverages is a crime against humanity and a sin against God, we denounce the laws upon our stat- ute books,” and “that we believe the time has come when ail Christiany should re- fuse to vote for any man in any party not pledged to the prohibition of the ilquor traffic." The resolutions indorse the work of the Woman's Christian Temperance Unton. The report of the committee on educ: tion, which was adopted, gave a good deal of space to the interests of the Taylor Uni- versity and in setting forth the purposes and the aims of that institution. The president, Dr. Reade, addressed the convention and spoke of the prospects and the active work that was being done. At noon the convention adjourned for lunch, as it has been accustomed to do dur- ing the sessions, which have‘continued since Saturday. The lunch was served by ladies in the room below. A session was held this afternoon, and the closing session this evening will include shert addresses from the representatives of each conference. —$<—$——$—_— +o Cent Union Mission Election. At the annual meeting of the Central Union Mission last evening, the terms of five members of the board of directors hav- ing expired, the following persons were re-elected: E. D. Bailey, George W. Havel, O. B. Brown and J. C. Severance. Mr. W. F. Paxon refused a re-election, and nomi- nated in his stead Mr. P. S. Foster, who was unanimously elected. The five other members who hold over are Messrs. J. H. Hitchcock, A. L. Swartwout, N. A. Robbins, George W. Wheeler and W. C. Tyler. Reso- lutions were adopted expressing regret at the retirement of Mz. Paxon from the board. — Reckless Shooting by Policemen. In the Police Court yesterday Judge Miller took ocasion to make some remarks about reckless shooting by policemen on the public streets. Policeman Evans ar- rested Henry G. Joyce on 2d street south- east on a charge of disorderly conduct. Joyce ran, and the officer fred three pistol shots in his attempt to capture the man. Judge Miller denounced the officer’s action as being without warrant of law, and said that he would have been held criminaily responsible had he killed the man. fle said that some time when such recklessness is indulged in the officers will vl them- selves charged with discharging firearms in the street. ‘The charge against Joyce was dismissed. From One Jail to Another. John Cunningham, a young colored man from Richmond, reached here a few weeks ago. He was getting along nicely and had fair prospects of gaining a good standing in society when he surprised his friends by taking that which did not belong to him. Like many other like offenders he was sent to jail. Today wi his last day in prison and John felt happy last night to think that he was to enjoy his freedom once more, but in this he was mistaken, for Sergt. Tomlinson of the Richmond Police force reached here on a late train last night with @ requisition for him and early this ‘morning Detective Rhodes went to the jail and brought the man up to heed- quarters. Later in the day Sergt. Tomiin- son took him to Richmond. There the pris- oner is charged with robbing Mr. A. G. Robinson, a prominent citizen, of a gold watch. The watch was recovered, but since its recovery on that occasion it has been stolen and now Mr. Robinson is minus his watch. It 1s also charzed that he stole a wateh from a man named Cronin, which watch was recovered in this city. Anna M. Carroll, by her attorney, W. H. Harris, filed a bill against C. C. Cole, trus- tee, to 2njoin him from paying over $768.52, her interest in the estate of Anna M. John- son, and to secure the payment to the at- terney, the defendant having refused to pay over the same except to Miss Carroll in person. INSPECTOR’S REPORT On the Cleanliness of the Abattoir at Benning. Health Officer Hammett today trans- mitted to the Commissioners a communica- tion inclosing the report of Chief Clerk Tracy and Inspectors Howcott and Beau- mont of their inspection of the Washing- ton Abattoir Co.'s establishment at Ben- ning. The report says: “We visited this establishment this even- ing, arriving at 5:30 p.m., and found the force of workmen engaged in slaughtering and preparing animals for market pur- poses. We found the building to be kept in a clean condition, with concrete floors and a perfect system of sewerage, carry- ing all liquids into the Eastern branch. We examined carefully as to odors arising from burning offal and other matter and find a system of perfect combustion, where- by all gases are destroyed before leaving the smoke stack; possibly when the atmos- phere is heavy there might be some odor letected, but, ‘with a clear atmosphere, we are satisfied that it is not more than would arise from @ small slaughter house. This seems remarkable, considering the magni- tude of the establishment, which at pres- ent is slaughtering per week 1,000 sheep, 250 beeves, 400 hogs and 250 calves. “We next examined into the condition of the pens in which the animals are kept Preparatory to being slaughtered,and found @ perfect system of cleanliness. A huge tank has been constructed in the center of the inclosure holding 80,000 gallons of water. From this tank are branch pipes leading into each tnclosure, allowing full facilities for washing and cleansing all the pens. We are of the opinion that there can be no vie cause for complaint by the residents of Benning against this estab- Ushment. It is but justice to say that no preparation hed been made by the authori- ties of the establishment to receive us, a8 the visit was made after office hours and kept a secret, only known to the authori- ties of the health office, and was, as was intended, a perfect surprise to the super- intendent of the abattol ——.__ FREDERICK FAIR. Largely Attended by Citizens From This City. Correspondence of The Evening Star. FREDERICK, M4., October 15, 1898. Three tickets—democratic, republican and Prohibition—are now in the field in Freder- ick county, but so far there has been little political pot-bolling and now there does not appear likely to be any, as the parties seem to have determined on a campaign in which the effective work is to be done by the per- sonal canvassing of the candidates. ‘The last in the field with thelr ticket were the prohibitionists, who nominated the past week, the result being as follows: For sher- iff, Charles E. Abert of Middletown; for house of delegates, Charles W. Brown, Woodville; George H. Easterday, Jefferson; Wm.L.Purdum, Urbana; Marian 8. Michael, Buckeystown, and Frank Suman, Frederick. For suveyor, James F. Beal, Buckeystown. ‘The candidates are all well known and capa- ble men and the ticket is considered a good one. The party, at their nominating conven- tion, passed resolutions in which they deter- mined to abide by the principles of the na- tional prohibitionist party and the state platform framed at Glyndon in July last. They declare for the suppression of the manufacture, sale and importation of intox- icating lquors and insist that the state shall use Its legislative power to protect the public health against alcoholism, as It does against smallpox, cholera, diphtherla and | other malignant diseases. ‘They agree with thelr republican brethren of Frederick coun- ty that the law extending the terms of county commissioners from two to six years is unconstitutional, but they also find many actions on the part of the republicans that are unconstitutional, especially thelr support of the state liquor license system. The res- olutions favor revision. of the present tariff, the maintenance of the public schools, the election of United States Senators by direct popular vote, the right of the labor- ing man to one day’s rest ovt of seven, the abolition of the official fee system and the payment instead of reasonable salaries to all Public officials, an equitably atranged in- come tax, and finally condemn the custom of wholesale bribery of voters by the two old parties. The prohibitionists claim that their strength has gradually increased in this cougty and that they will poll a large vote at the coming election. The thirty-third annual fair of the Fred- erick County Agricultural Society was held Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fri- day, on ‘the grounds of the society, a mile from the center of the city, and proved successful In every way. Three days out of the four the management were blessed with glorious weather, and in consequence the attendance was very large, a goodly quota coming from Washington, especially on Thursday, when at least 200 were present from that city. The exhibition was a fine end interesting one in all its departments, and there were plenty of speciai features, side show attractions and lively races to keep the immense throngs amused, The exhibit of thoroughbred horses and cattle was very large and varied, and in the poultry department several thousand speci- mens of fancy bred fowls were shown. Col. Henry Fairfax of Leesburg, Va., had his handsome hackney coach korses at the fair, and they attracted a great deal of attention. A specially interesting exhibit was that of the public school children of Frederick county. A large section of the iain building was set apart for the display of their work, and therein were seen speci- mens of map making, free-hand drawing, instrumental drawing, writing and printin, Vernon Loy, @ pupil of the Mechanicstow: High School, exhibited a collection of na- tive woods of Frederick county, comprising sixty-two kinds, all of them ‘handsomely polished on the surface in order to bring out the texture of the grain. ‘There were also several very interesting botanical col- lections shown by pupils of the various schools. The big day of the fair was Thurs- day, when Gov. Frank Brown was one of the visitors, accompanied by a party of dis- tinguished ‘men. ‘The attendance that day was upwanl of 20,000 people, one of the biggest days in the history of®the society. ‘The racing throughout the entire exhibition was spirited and interesting, and some Washington horses were among the win- ners, O. G. Sellman's “Fannie Beverly” coming out first in several of the running races. The fair closed on Friday in the midst of a heavy rain storm, which com- pelled the withdrawal of all the races and special features, and Friday night the heavy gale that blew wrought havoc among the tents and buildings not yet removed from the grounds. The tent covering the cyclo- rama of the battle of Gettysburg was blown away and the painting damaged to the ex- tent of $300, The large flag pole in the center of the grounds was laid flat with the earth, shutters were blown from the buildings and trees were toppled over like wisps of straw. ‘The wind also did great damage in the city, partly unroofing the Union knitting mills, blowing in the smokestack of the Hygenic ice factory, demolishing fences, trees and small buildings and cutting off communica- tion by telephone and telegraph. William Esterly, as seventeen-year-old young man, living on Madison avenue, this city, added, the other day, another to the list ‘of deaths resulting from excessive cig- arette smoking. He had been confined to the house several days with sickness, and upon starting to go down stairs fell to the bottom dead. His physician pronounced the cause of death to be heart trouble re- sulting from nicotine poisoning. Esterly was in the habit of smoking several pack- ages of cigarettes a day and his system became so impregnated with the nicotine poison that it broke out on his skin in spots. Frederick became the Gretna Green on Wednesday last of a young couple trom Washington, who came ostensibly to attend the fair, but took advantage of the oppor- tunity to taste the joys of marital bits: ‘They were Mr. Harry Woodward and M Jennie Clampitt, and they were married by the Rev. G. C. H. Hankard, at the parson- age of St. James’ Evangelical Lutheran Church. After visiting the fair they left to visit friends at Point of Rocks, Buck Lodge, ‘Takoma Park and Alexandria, returning to ‘Washington, where they will reside. Much interest is manifested in the prob- able outcome of the county commissioners case of Frederick county in the hands of the court of appeals, to which body it was carried during the past week and submitted on arguments by Wm. P. Maulsby, jr, Wm. H. Hinks, John C. Motter and Hammond Urner, for the republican nominees, and Cc. V. 8. Levy, J. E. R. Wood and J. Roger McSherry, for the board of election super- visors. The case involves the placing of the names of the republican candidates for county commissioners on the official ballot at the coming election, The democrats claimed that owing to the act of the legis- lature of 1892 extending the terms of county commisstoners from two to six years, there is to be no election for county commis- sioner in this county this year. Upon the refusal of the supervisors, therefore, to place the republican candidates on’ the ticket, their counsel petitioned the court for a mandamus to compel them to do s0, and upon the court's granting a pro forma decree, the case was at once taken to the court of appeals, in order to have {t finally decided before the approaching election. A decision by the higher court 1s expected in a few days. F. McK. HIGH SCHOOL AFFAIRS. The Companies Getting Down to Work ‘With New Officers. Now that the excitement is over and the officers are all appointed, attention will be devoted to a thorough instruction of the regiment in order that a good showing may be made on the 22d of February. The boys have all been measured for their uniforms, which will be ready for them about the 15th of next month. Mrs. Walton has her cal- isthenic classes well under way now, and under her new mode of instruction rapid Progress is being made. At_a meeting of the foot ball league last Wednesday several changes were made in the schedule of games. Central. Mr. O. P. M. Brown, who resigned his Position as regimental adjutant of the regi- ment, has made his exit from school and will enter college. Mr. Brown has also giv- en up the management of the Review. The appointments of the non-commis- sioned officers of the first battalion and of companies A, B, C, and D were made this afternoon. There will probably be more resignations, as some must be disappointed. ‘The editorial and business staffs of the ‘w are now complete and everything is in readiness for the first issue of the pa- per. Eastern. The Ubrary at this school now contains upward of 800 books, and it is expected that about $200 will be expended during the course of the year in purchasing new books. Miss B. L, Gardner ts in charge and has ap- pointed the following young ladies as as- sistants: Misses Kelly, Smith, Shields, Lamson, Fountain and Fairchild. Several young gentlemen will be added-to this list. yaralles and Grant, who received second leutenantcies,and Bevani rgeant have resigned thelr positions: Teeuntey Miss Minnie Roth, third year, has re- turned to her studies after a prolonged ab- sence at Rockville, Md. ae Miss Shipman, teaching Latin and Greek, left last Wednesday for Chicago, where she will remain for two weeks. During her ab- sence her classes will be in charge of Mr. Swartzell and Mr. Lattimore. Through the efforts of Mr. Williams the surveying classes have been provided with & new set of instruments, and they will not have to use those from the Central as. last year, A number of new desks have arrived and will be crowded into the various rooms. Business. Captain Wilson has decided not to with- draw his team from the league, and will endeavor to carry out the schedule as far as this school ts concerned.

From the Louisville Courter-Journal. “T read an article in the July Century recently on ‘Famous Indians,’ said a gen- tleman yesterday, “and I was much inter- ested in it, because in my days of youth and indiscretion the great, unknown west was surrounded with a halo of glorious romance, heightened by an enthusiastic perusal of certain little yellow-backed books promul- gated by an imaginative individual named Beadle. It was all too much for my boy- ish fancies, and kissing my mother and sts- ters, I took my departure to seek this earthly paradise—albeit with many scald- ing tears coursing down my youthful coun- tenance. “I sought the wildest mountains ang the wiidest plains and forests in the great un- known that's bounded by the setting sun, | and for some years associated with the | very savages the writer in the Century sees fit to paint. But my enthusiasm was constantly on the wane, oozing out, as it were, through ragged moccasins, bieeding feet, a gnawing stomach and empty pock- ets.’ The nuggets, the painted warriors and beautiful maidens had been touched with an evil spirit’s wand since Begdle saw them and wrote his deceptive ‘yellow-backs,’ In their place were dangero streams, black deserts, rofgh mountains, degraded ges and dirty squaws. Often half-decayed venison served for food one week, and salmon, dried in the sun, all guiltless of salt, as a change for the next week's fare. But details are distasteful even at this late date. I found Chiefs Moses, Lot and Joseph very good aborigines in their way, but their ways were what I most despised. “My friend in the Century makes great men of Moses, Lot and Joseph, and as I have been their guest in the days gone by and devoured half-raw flesh around their smoking camp-fires T am glad. But they were wid old savages, and Joseph is a man of some military attainments, as shown by the fight he made in the Perce war some fifteen years ago. The writer of the article in the Century deplores the fact that Joseph was never allowed to return to his ‘old home in Idaho, and for fear he may be taken at his word I now protest. Were Joseph, Yellow Rull and his other bosom friends taken to Tdaho they would be hang- ed at once for the many murders they com- mitted in the Nez Perce war.” Emergency Canes.

UNION Little Surprise Caused by the Late Change in Control. In addition to 8S. H. H. Clark, president of the road, and Mr. Oliver W. Mink, control- ler of the road, Mr. E. Ellery Anderson of New York city, who is one of the gov- ernment directors of the road has been ap- pointed one of the Union Pacific recelv- ers. Mr. Anderson has had a seat on the board to look after the large government interest in the company in the shape of capital to the extent of over $37,000,000 ad- vanced at the time of the building of the main line, nearly thirty years ago. Mr. Anderson was named by President Cleveland as chairman of the Pacific rail- roads investigating committee of 1887, which made a thorough examinetion and’ report upon the company’s affairs. He was se- lected as government director by Mr. Cleve- land within the last few months. ‘The suit on which the change in control was ordered was brought by Oliver Ames, second, and Samuel Carr, executors of the estate of Frederick L. Ames; Peter Wyckoff and Edward F. Atkin. The complainants hold over 10,000 shares of stock in the main |line, 6,000 in the Oregon short line. and other similar amounts in the subsidiary companies, together with bonds of the many | issues made from time to time. ‘The bill of complaint covers nearly pages, and ex-Judge Dillon of New Yo recites its main points as follows: “The company had a surplus of $2,000,000 for the year ending December 31, 1892. From Janu- ary to July, 1893, there ‘was a loss of net revenues of $90,000: in July and August a loss of $2,000,090 and in September a of | $1,509,000 as ‘compared with the preceding year. From January 1 to August 31 there Was a falling off in net revenue of over $2,500,000. “The company is indebted for labor and materials on October 1 to amount of $1,500,000, and ite sinking end inter- lest charges for September woul be more | than $1,009,000, for October, $750,000; for No- vember, $850,000; for December, $1,000,000, and for January $1,000,000. There ‘will be a de- ficit for the year 1893 of at least $3,000,000, and the company is without money or means to meet these obligations. The news created little surprise. The road ‘has for some time been in need of ready , cash, and there seemed no way to raise it except by the issue of collateral trust notes, authorized in 1891. As there are $11,430,000 of these notes still out, and their price is only 72 1-8, the outlook was far from favor- able. An informal meeting of some of the chief directors of the road was held in New York Wednesday, but the appointment of the re- ceivers would indicate that they deemed |it injudicious to try to float more securi- | ties in the present condition of the market. Interest amounting to $569,238 have to be paid November 1, and ‘on December 1 another payment of $850,000 is due. Its capital stock 1s $60,868,500, and its total funded debt $88,873,250. ‘The claims of the United States government swell the total debt to $12,052,762. The company also guaranteed $29,801,000 of the bonds of the Oregon short line and Utah Northern road. ~—_- +e MARRIED TO A LORD. Miss Flora Davis of New York Wed- ded in Paris.

It has always been Wilton Lackaye's am- bition to wear an eyeglass on the stage. ‘Until this week, when he began his engage- ment In “Saints and Sinners” across the bridge, he never had an opportunity to gratify his right eye's long-felt want. At Daly's, where Mr. Lackaye had a short but tempestuous season, John Drew and Jim- mie Lewis were the only actors who were allowed to wear one. In the “Power of the Press” there was no opportunity for him to decorate his features in this manner, and as Stickton, the bluff Californian in “Aris- tocracy,” the use of an optical double win- dow would have amounte@ to an anachro- nism. But in “Saints and Sinners” Mr. Lackaye was cast for the part of the vil- Jain, an English army man. , He purchased ® brand-new eyeglass especially for the part. He paid, so his friends say, $7.50 for it, and it was his intention to export it to his eyeglass. It happened in this way: In the third act there are two or three Julia Arthur are obliged to tear them- selves to dramatic tatters. In all these scenes Mr. Lackaye was depending on his eyeglass to help him out in the proper de- piction of his emotions. But the eyeglass Prefers light comedy roles, and so in a man- ner known to itself alone it wiggled itself round into a pendant position in the small of Mr. Lackaye’s back. The actor's dis- tress was pitiful—eo pitiful, in fact, that the audience burst out laughing. ‘There were a number of professionals in the audience, among them Leonard Boyne, who had come to Brookiyn to see Miss Arthur in another style of prodigal daughter. The actors enjoyed the situation hugely. time Lackaye turned his back toward the audience the eyeglass was in full view of the house. First of all, Lackaye slipped his hand inside his waistcoat to see if it could have slipped down there. Then he tried his waistcoat pockets. Thinking that the string might have broken between his see if he had left it in his dressing room. It_was a good ten minutes before Miss Arthur, realizing the situation, rushed up to Lackaye, and in the course of one of her embraces managed to work the eyeglass into its proper place. After that Mr. e's acting improved 100 per cent. ‘The following letter speaks for itself—and Mr. Wilton Lackaye: “To the Editor of the Evening Sun—Dear Sir: I read with much enjoyment on Thurs- day evening your humorous account of my English confreres’ comic recital of my struggle with the elusive monocle at the matinee performance of ‘Saints and Sin- ners.’ Perhaps they were right.
