GRIDIRONS’ ANNUAL DINNER. | Many Distingnished Guests Enjoy the Fun at Their Feast. Orators Who Were Kept Dramatic Rendition of the Hawatian Incident. t— A When the members of the Gridiron Club get together, no matter for what purpose, there is sure to be a good time, but when the occasion is the annual dinner of the club then there is such sport that the gods ean only look on in amazement and wish that for the time being they could be mor- tals and eat terrapin and drink champagne at the Arlington, instead of ambrosia and nectar. Then the forty immortals let down the bars and have as their guests such peo- ple as members of the cabinet, Senators and Representatives, and others who are usually known only as sources of news. It was the ninth annual dinner this time and the scene was laid in the banquet room of the Arlington. All sorts of new features were introduced. The guests whose names were down on the menu as invited to speak were never called upon to exercise their oratorical powers. They sat through it all dumb, like sheep at the slaughter. The in- itiation of Frank Bennett of the Arlington as a new member was treated as an “an- nexation,” and done up with true Hawaiian honors, The menu cards were matrices, that is, the molds from which stereotyped newspaper forms are cast. This souvenir; also contained biographical sketches of the guests, a la Congressional Directory, which contained many facts in the lives of each subject unknown to the responsible party nimseif. The fillet of beef was not the only thing at the table that was “roasted of the peopie got it just the same. But, the funniest thing of all was the restoration of the dusky queen of the Sand- wich Istands to her throne. This farce or travesty om recent history was rich and was thoroughly appreciated even by those of the guests who were implicated in the making of the history. Queen Lil was put , back un her dusty pedestal to the accom- paniment of two hula hula dancers, one Blount, one Wilson, one commander-in- | chier, an army of one, ang a navy of one, jail these famous characters of history be- ing impersonated by fantasticaily clad | members of the club. | Among the guests who were called upon | to enlignten tne heathen darkness of the gathering with speeches were Vice Presi- agent Stevenson, Senator Allison, Senator Gorman, Postmaster General Bissell, Sec- | retary Morton, First Assistant Postmaster | General Jones, E. P. McKissick, Controller Eckels, Assistant Secretary McAdoo, Sen- |ator Proctor, Senator Mitchell, Charles | fimory Smith and Stephen V.

DEATH AMONG INFANTS. ‘The Medical Roard of St. Ann Call At-| tention to Some Conditions. ‘The superintendent of charities today for- warded to the Commissioners the following report from the medical board of St. Ann’s Infant Asylum relative to the mortality of the institution: ‘In regard to the report of Mr. Lewis of the board of children’s guardians concern- ing the mortality rate among the infants at St. Ann's Infant Asylum, we respectfully call your attention to the following state- ment: It ts a fact weil known to all statis- ticians that the mortality among the Infants under one year of age is large; this is true of all classes and races, being greatest, of course, in densely populated cities and among their poor. This death rate is espe- clally heavy among foundlings, and for very obvious reasons: they are generally the off- spring of vicious or diseased parents, bring- ing with them into the world their only in- heritance—a diseased and debilitated consti- tution. Objects of neglect or desertion from birth, it is no wonder so many perish in a few months. Each race has its own rate of mortality, and in this city it is the custom of the health office to tabulate their vital statis- tics, so that the death rate among the white and colored population may be com- red. There is, as you well know, a con- siderable difference between their death rates and in favor of the whites, and this difference is marked among infants under one year ofage. Duzing the last seventeen yeazs in the District of Columbia 26.4 per cent of the tctal deaths were infants un- der one year of age, or, according to race, 21.4 per cent of the whites, and 32.1 per cent of the colored decedents were infants, under one year; this infant mortality, of course, increases during the summer months, and has been as high as 38.7 per |,, cent of the total white mortality and 47.7 per cent of the colored. Not Peculiar to This City. From newspuper prominence given to this subject, the uninformed reader might be misled into concluding that this heavy mortalilty was peculiar to Washington and its foundling institutions. This is not so, for it unfortunately exists in all large cities the world over, and a comparison of the statistics of St. Ann’s with similar institu- tions would show that it is below the high average. St. Ann's has no choice in its patients, it cannot prescribe any physical standard ac- cording to which infants may be accepted or refused, nor does it use any discrimina- tion in regard to race, but receives all that are brought. Many of these infants are picked up by the police or brought in by the agents of the Humane Society, which would imply desertion, neglect and poor physical condition, and, indeed, they show such marked signs of debility, either hered- itary or acquired, that it is evident that their lives are but for a few days. A table was given showing the number of | deaths, both white and colored, at St. Ann's during the year ending December 31, 1898; also the age at admission und the time elapsing between admission and death. “You will observe,” continues the report, “from this table that of the whole number of deaths 40.5 per cent occurred within fif- teen days from entrance, per cent oc- curred within one month from entrance, 81 per cent occurred within two months from entrance; or, separating the deaths according to race—of the whites 38.4 per cent, and of the colored 45.4 per cent oc- curred within fifteen days; of the whites 63.4 per cent and of the colored 77.2 per| cent occurred within one month; of the| whites 75 per cent and of the colored %5.4/ per cent occurred within two months. The average of the decedents was sixty days at entrance, while that of the colored was} but thirty-seven days.. We feel that we have shown that, owing to the physical) condition and environment of most of/| these infants previous to admission, our | mortality rate is not excessivi The report is signed by H. M. Newman, M. D., president, and J. Yarnall, secretary. > DISTRICT AFFAIRS. They Can’t Hear Themselves Talk nt the District Building Because of the Street Noise. There is a bad piece of pavement on Ist street immediately in front of the District building, and the constant rattle of heavy wagons is not conducive to the success of public hearings which take place at the Dis- trict building almost daily. Long ago the question of changing this pavement was talked of, but the Commissioners had no fund out of which it could be paid. An at- tempt was made to compel the raflroad com- pany to pave between its tracks, and. there- by reduce the noise to a minimum, the re- mainder of the space in the meantime hav- ing been paved with vitrified brick. The first controller was asked whether the rail- road company could not be made to pay for this work, and today he says in reply that in view of the fact that the t!mprovement sought is not a necessary repair for which the railroad company is responsible the charge wculd not be a proper one. The Otwervatory Water Connection. In connection with the laying of a twelve- inch water main along Tenleytown road, the Secretary of the Navy has written to the Commissioners requesting connection with the water main for supplying the naval observatory. “The stand-pipe of the- naval observatory grounds,” he says, “holds 70,000 gallons of water, supplied from a well yleld- ing about 5,000 gallons of water daily, which is used for purposes other tl boilers. In general terms, only 4 gallons of this water are available in case of fire. From lack of pressure, water for gener- ating steam is obtained independently by means of an auxiliary pump connected with a small pond in the Industrial Home School grounds, with a cistern interemediary, from which the boilers are fed. So far as cir-! cumstances admit, accidents from fire are | guarded against, and arrangements have been made with the District fire department to insure prompt assistance to any call for aid. Nevertheless, the want of available water may render such ald of no very great utility in the preservation of property in case of a fire of considerable magnitude un- til water is supplied from the District works as requested. oe EULOGIES OF BISHOP PAYNE. The Various Phases of His Work— Fred. Douglass’ Tribute. Bishop W. J. Gaines of the eleventh Epis- copal district presided over a memorial meeting held last night at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, in honor of the late Bishop D. A. Payne, the sixth senior bishop of the A. M. E. Church. After the musical service Dr. J. T. Jenifer spoke in words of appreciation of Bishop Payne from the standpoint of a pupil. W. A. Jones, the representative of the Bethel Library Association, gave an ac- count of the work of the bishop in founding that institution. Resolutions were read by M-:. E. H. Hunter deploring the loss that the church had suffered tn the cutting oft of one of her most venerable workers and 4 man who had stood by his race from the dark days of slavery, and had been largely instrumental in lifting them into the light of modern prosperity and progress. Mr. Wm. E. Matthews paid a tribute to the work of Bishop Payne just subsequent to the war in founding the A. M. E. Home and Foreign Missionary Society that had lifted so many thousands of colored men and women from helpless ignorance to posi- = of honor and trust throughout the land. The final address of the evening was by Fred Douglass, who spoke of Bishop Payne from “the view of 2 contemporary.” After all had been said of the religionist, the philanthropist and the churchman, there yet remained the man, the grandest of God's creation. He had led the race from slavery nobler life. It was said of Wilberforce thax he had ascended to heaven with a million broken fetters in his arms as an evidence ef his work for his fellow-men, but Bishop Payne had been heralded in his march to glory by the song of 8,000,000 saved anu liberated souls. What more glorious testi- monial to the beauty and usefulness of his life’s work could there have been? pombe inves The New England Storm. From all over New England reports are coming in concerning the severity of the storm. At South Framingham fully a foot of snow fell, The telegraphic and telephonic service was broken off. At Brockton the snow is a foot decp. At New Bedford the storm is called “record breaker,” the snow being a foot deep and accompanied by a howling northeast gale. North River reports fifteen inches of snow and all traffic is at At Attleboro it is cailed the worst bliz- zard since 1888. A message from Newport, R. L, says that place is experiencing tie heaviest gale for rs. | At Taunton the blizzard has paralyzed OVER HALF A MILLION LOSS A Large Portion of Bath, Me., Destroyed by Fire. : Water Pipes Brok: men Handicapped—Assistance Given by Departments of Other Cities. or Frosen—Fire- One of the most disastrous fires in the history of the city, entailing a loss of over $500,000, broke out about # o'clock yesterday morning in the Sagadahook House stables, Bath, Me., and burned until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. .The fire started in the heart of the busi- ness section and at one time threatened the total destruction of the entire business por- tion of the city. A rather high wind was blowing at the time, which fanned the blaze so that the conflagration was soon beyond the control of the firemen. Fortunately, however, the wind was in a quarter where the least damage would be done, Had it been in another direction it would have been almost an impossibility to check the spread of the flames before they had reached the residence portion. In all, about twenty buildings were de- stroyed, several more were considerably damaged, while a number of merchants will lose heavily from the loss by water. The fire department is equipped with but three engines, and, although they respond- ed promptly, the tire spread so rapidly that they were unable to cope with it. Neighboring towns were telegraphed to for assistance. Portland and Lewiston re- sponded promptly by sending steamers, and two hand engines were sent from Bruns- wick, It was intensely cold, but the firé- | men worked heroically, although several of them were severely frost bitten. Owing to many of the water pipes being | either frozen or eise broken, it was some | time before effective work could be done, and the hand engines were rendered prac- Ucally worthless, The fire communicated to Sagadahook's Hotel from the stables, and the house, which is the leading hotel in the city, was quickly gutted. As soon as the first alarm was given the hotel employes went from room to room to make sure that all the guests had left thelr apartments. Several of them, however, went back to their apartments for their clothing and val- uables, while others preferred to have theirs burned up to running the risk of endanger- ing their lives, The firemen, seeing their inability to save the hotel, devoted their efforts to saving the adjoining properties, in which, how- ever, they were only partially successful. A large crowd quickly gathered and gazed at the flames, while others turned in to help the firemen and to save whatever they could from the buildings before the flames reached them. Three of the banks, the Lincoln Mutual, the Marine National, and the twenty-five cents institution, were burned out, but all their books were safely locked up in the vaults. Several society halls and dwelling houses were also destroyed, while the Times Print- ing Company and a number of stores were considerably damaged. THE agile clad NEW BOND ISSUE. Mr. Carlisle Makes a Statement Re- gwurding His Authority to I ie Them. Mr. Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury, made public last night the following state- ment: “It has been erroneously published in some newspapers that the committee on the judiciary of the House of Representatives had agreed to and reported a resolution de- nying the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury to issue and sell bonds, as pro- posed in the recent circula>, and these pub- lications have evidently made an unfavor- able impression upon the minds of some who contemplated making bids for these securities. “The only resolution in relation to this subject that has been before the committee is as follow “Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the Secreta- ty of the Treasury has no authority under existing law to issue and sell bonds of the United States, except such as is conferrea upon him by the act approved January 19, 1875, entitled, “An act to provide for the resumption of specie payments,” and that the money derived from the sale of bonds issued under that act cannot be lawfully applied to any purposes except those speci- fied therein. “It will be seen that this resolution as- | sumed that the authority to issue bonds was conferred upon the Secretary of the Treasury by the act of January 19, 1875, and that such authority still exists, but it asserts that the proceeds of the bonds can- not be lawfully used except for the purpose of redemption. “The official stenographic report of the proceedings in the committee when the Sec- retary of the Treasury appeared before it last Thursday shows that his authority to issue bonds was not questioned by any member, the only question being whether | he could use the proceeds for any other pur- pose than the redemption of the United | States notes. Mr. Bailey, the author of the resolution, distinctly admitted the existence of the authorty. Addressing the Secretary, Mr. Bailey said: ““The resolution does not impeach your } right to issue bonds; it expressly recognizes it and questions your right to apply the proceeds to any purpose except those specified in the act.” “The judiciary committee of the House examined and reported upon this same question during the Fifty-second Congress, and it then conceded that the authority ex- isted under the act of 1875. The question as to the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury to use the money in any particu- lar manner, or for any particular purpose, is wholly distinct from the question as the authority to issue and sell the bonds. “No matter what he may do with the money, the validity of the bonds will not be | aifected, and there is, therefore, no reason why any one should hesitate to invest in these securities on the ground that the pro- ceeds might possibly be used for any other than redemption purposes.” —-oo—______. ING HIPPLOYTE., ADV Exciterent in Hayti Ci ed by a Let- ter From Minfster Smythe. There was much excitement recently in Port au Prince, Hayti, caused, it is alleged, by a letter written by the American minis- ter to President Hippolyte, in which he gave his ideas as to how the country could and should be governed, and setting forth how it had been ruled in the past, urging re- forms, &c. Minister Smythe, before sending his letter to the president, wanted the other resident foreign ministers to sign the letter, but they | declined, and he sent it with his own sig- nature. Hippolyte, on receipt of the docu- ment, invited Mr. Smythe to dine with him and talk over the contents of the letter, but he declined. — EDMUNDS ACT ENFORCED.

Sensational Session of the Chamber of Deputies, There was a turbulent scene in the French chamber of deputies Saturday, and the sitting was finally suspended peremp- torily by the president. - M. Clovis Hughes, one of the deputies in the Seine, interpellated the government on the recent arrests of anarchists. During the course of his interpellation he caused considerable excitement upon the part of the supporters of the government by reproaching the latter with persecuting the anarchists as a pretext for suppressing the socialists, The speaker also insinuated that the government was acting with a pur- pose in illegally seizing correspondence. M. Raynal, minister of the interior, re- plied that the government only applied the laws which had been passed by the cham- ber of deputies, and justified the seizures of correspondence by quoting extracts from the writings of Reclus, the fugitive friend of Vaillant. Continuing, M. Raynal said that the government had issued orders to the effect that the police were to search the domiciles of well-known anarchists or peo- ple known beyond a doubt to be in sym- pathy with anarchiste. But, M. al also said, it was difficult to distinguish be- tween anarchists and socialists. In conclusion the minister of the interior remarked: “Liberty is in no way menaced by the action of the government, but liberty must not be confounded with license.” (Loud ap- Plause from the supporters of the govern- ment.) Other speakers continued the debate, and all the speeches were interrupted to a de- gree that the session finally became so turbulent that the president of the cham- ber was compelled to order it to, be sus- pended peremptorily. Then followed a scene which has rarely, if ever, been equaled in the chamber of deputies. Men cursed and swore at each other, shook their fists beneath each other’s noses, several breaches of the peace occur- red, and one pugnacious deputy went so far as to challenge a fellow-member to de- cide their differences by a recourse to la Savato. M. Thivrier, a so-called “workingman’s deputy,” who has already made himself notorious by wearing a blouse in the cham- ber of deputies, became so excited that he threw his cap in the air and shouted, “Vive la commune,” and a number of com- | mon exclamations which entitled him to | censure and expulsion from the chamber. |. President Dupuy invited the excited | deputy to withdraw the expressions which | he had used. M. Thivrier’ refused to do so, in most | violent language, and loudly repeated the | objectionable words several times, and in | addition making an offensive gesture to- ward the president. This caused President Dupuy to firmly request that Thivrier leave the chamber of deputies. Then followed another scene of extreme disorder, all the socialists rising in their seats, gesticulating violently and uttering all kinds of loud protesting cries and in- sulting remarks. The socialists then formed a_ circle around M. Thivrier, who hurled deflance | at President Dupuy, positively refusing to | obey the latter’s order to leave the cham- ber of deputies. M. Dupuy had nothing left but to suspend the sitting, and he so ordered it, and also issued orders that the chamber of deputies be cleared by the ushers. But M. Thivrier, with about thirty of his friends, continued their defiant attitude toward the president of the chamber of ushers, who asked them to vacate their |seats and leave the chamber. | |President Dupuy then instructed one of | the officers on duty in the chamber to call | the colonel in command of the guard sta- tioned at the Palais Bourbon, in which the chamber of deputies is situated. Accordingly the colonel -of the guard shortly afterward entered the chamber of | deputies at the head of a detachment of | the orders of the president and to leave | the chamber. But M. Thivrier still declined to vacate | his seat, which caused the colonel to remark that if he persisted in his refusal he would |order him to be removed by force. The colonel then called upon a file of soldiers to surround M. Thivrier, and was upon the | point of having him removed by force, when the excited deputy addressed the soidiers, saying: “You are the friends of the people, and I am as nothing against you. But you are | doing dirty work.” The colonel insisted that his orders must | be obeyed, and told the soldiers to remove the deputy by force. The soldiers were upon the point of carry- ing out this order, when M. Thivrier arose and slowly moved toward the doors, crying as he did so, “Vive la commune.” | This cry was taken up by the friends of the expelled deputy, one of them, Dep- uty Vaillant, representing the twentieth | arrondissement of Paris. When the sitting | Was resumed, he and his friends als> cried “Vive la commune,” and that they were in hearty sympathy with M. Thivrier. This statement of Deputy Vaillant caused @ renewed and deafening uproar, during which the socialists were called “assas- sins,” “cowards” and other similar names. Threats and oaths, bad language and ter- rible abuse were to be heard on all sides. Finally President Dupuy was obliged to ring his bell violently, in order to obtain silence, after which the order of the da: voting confidence in the government, was carried by a vote of 408 to 64, amid addi- tional uproar and excitement. Deputy Thivrier is excluded from the chamber of deputies for a fortnight end, in addition, he will be deprived of nalf his salary for two months. Deputy Christopher Thivrier, the man who caused the terrible disturbance in the chamber of deputies, was born at Durdat in 1841. From the age of twelve until he was twenty-eight years old M. Thivrier was a working miner; subsequently he be- came a wine merchant. After taking a prominent part in the municipal govern- ment of Commentry Thivrier became an active member of the workingmen’s party and became editor-in-chief of the Socialist. In 1889 M. Thivrier was elected to represent one of the divisions cf Mont Lucon in the chamber of deputies, and since that period he has taken part in all the manifestations of the socialist party, and made himself much talked of by being the first person to sit in the chamber of deputies in a blouse. The interstate commerce commission has received a preliminary repo-t of the income and expenditures of railways in the Unitea States for the year ended June 30 last. It includes returns from 479 operating compa- nies and covers the operations of 145,869.58 miles of line. The gross earnings were $1,085,685,281, of which $322,805,538 were from passenger se-vice, $739,249,265 from freight service and $23,630,378 were othei |earnings. The operating expenses were $735,427, leaving net earnings of $350,- 257,749, which is about 3.50 per cent on the capitalization of the roads reporting. Re- duced to a_mileage basis, the gross earn- ings were $7,443 per mile of line; operating expenses were $5,042, and net earnings were $2,401.

No Further Outbreaks Among the Riot- ers, Anarchism the Cause of the Trouble— Call for More Deputies Last Night. ‘There was little Sunday observance at Mansfield, Pa., yesterday. W. J. Steen of Rosevale swore out warrants against six- teen men he saw ‘n the riot described in the dispatches to Saturday's Star. Things on the surface were quiet. Mine owners and deputies were keenly alert, however, and plenty of rumors were afloat of miners massing for another descent on the mines. C. P. Moyer of Bridgeville sent out thirty foreigners as spies, and they re- Ported that the strikers were preparing for a raid this morning. William Beadling pursued similar tactics, and the Beadlings—Thomas, William, Robert and James—with William’s five sturdy sons, make a formidable little army themselves, All are armed with Winchesters. Some of the sons are under twenty years of age, but all are brave and can shoot. One of the sons, Thomas H., was one of the three who did the firing Saturday on the rioters, the other being his father and his Uncle Tom. These three fired over one hundred shots. They are sure many of the rioters were wounded, but were either able to get away or else we: anfety. re carried away to Tom's Run and stri; clothes. ipped the women of their Motives for Rioting. When the motives that impelled the riot- ing have been traced to their origin it will be found that the head and front may be summed up in one word, “anarchy.” The evidence obtained yesterday points to this conclusion. In the first place the bulk of the insurgents came from Bower Hill, and Bower Hill is not alone the local- ay whlah furnished the very much lamented and now Alleghen: -in- chief, Herr Fricke, with the greatest mons ber of his adherents, but it is at the present time the home of at least onc hundred fam.

I had hoped to bring back these people to the church by dint of instruction, but it now seems to be a hopeless task.” A Victim of the Riot. The man who was shot through the body on Saturday during the fight at Beadling’s survived the night, but died yesterday at 10:40 o'clock. His name was Frank Stepitz. The man was an Austrian and a Catholic, and was attended by Father Wertz until @ late hour on Saturday night. His widow arrived at the house of Miner Frank Wal- ler, where the body lay, during the after- noon. She did not betray any emotion. Interviewed through an interpreter, Mrs. Stepitz said that she and her husband were at breakfast when the mob came along to Hazeltine, Tom's Run. Several men enter- ed the house and said to her husband to come along. No, they had no guns,” she continu “nor did they make any threats.” ai The dead man worked for the Essex Coal Company when @he mine w: e, Taxpayers Wi A phase of the riot that attracted atten. tion was the fact that Aliegheny county is responsible for all the damage. Over forty years ago a law was passed which provided that in the counties of Allegheny and Phil- adelphia the authorities must be accounta- ble for all damage caused by riots. Among county officials it was said yes- terday that no doubt the owners of the| coal tipples and other property that was destroyed by the miners will begin an ac- tion for against the county very soon. This being the case, the taxes for 1804 will be increased to a small extent. It is not thougnt the damages will reach a very large figure if, as Sheriff Richard Says, the backbone of the strike is broken. It was said, however, that the damage has | reached several thousand dollars. Assistance Asked for. After midnight Saturday night a number of Italians and Frenchmen, with a sprink- Ung of Huns and Slavs, appeared on the hills above the burnt tipple of the Pan!

There are now 150 deputies | scattered through the Mansfield district. Pearline. money on it—but do you want to ruin your clothes for his rofit?

In a letter, under | date of January 27 and addressed to the democrats of Alabama, Mr. Oates says that his name for some time had been frequently | mentioned as a probable candidate fer | governor and that he had received mans letters urging him to run, but that he had delayed a decision because of congressi sal duties and a repugnance to enteriax into an active campaign for the governorship.
