The Pioneer mill weavers have also demanded an in- crease. Bamford Brothers and the Paterson Rib- bon Company have granted their employes | the increase demanded. It is said that the 130 operators of the Hitchcock and Medings mill, who struck yesterday for an increase of 40 per cent,will effect a settlement with their employers to- | morrow.

A Negro Burglar Taken to the Peters- burg Ja Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. LYNCHBURG, Va., February 22. The dwelling of Mr. Thomas Cann, near Crewe, in Nottaway county, was entered by burglars last night and $85 and a gold Watch, valued at $150, carried off. Mr. Cann, hearing a noise, got up to investigate, when he was fired at | three times with a pistol in the hands of | one of the burglars. One shot passed nearly through his neck, lodging in the shoulder, inflicting a very serious wound. Andrew Davenport and John Orange, two negroes, charged with the robber: vere arrested the next day, and Davenport, while being taken to the county jail, at- tempted to escape from the officers, when he was fired at five times, one of the balls lodging in his back. Davenport having confessed that he shot Mr. Cann a mob was organized to lynch him last | night and he was therefore | brought here and lodged in jail for safe keeping. The physicians say that his wound will prove fatal. Se eee 4 IRON AND STEEL TRADE. The Su; y Being Gauged Entirely by Present Demand. CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb.

THE INCOME TAX WILL BE THE THEME The Bright Young Men Who Will Enter the Contest. ee THEIR CAREERS SKETCHED —— The debating societies of the law depart- ments of Columbian and Georgetown Uni- versities have, during the present winter, taken a forward step in their work by ar- ranging a series of joint debates ‘between members of their respective organizations. It is hoped by those interested that the movement which bh been this year in- augurated will become a settled custom and that from year to year the chosen ty shall strive in public debate for the mastery. The preserg series of joint debates is the | outcome of an invitation on the the Georgetown Law School De! ciety to their sister organization in Co- lumbian. This invitation being promptly accepted the first debate took place about a month lat in the hall of Columbian University. The subject under discussion was the Chinese question and the decision of the judges s rendered in the Georgetown representatives, who ar- gued that the Chinese had a right in this country and that Chinese immigration should not be prohibited. The debate was an interesting one and aroused the interest of the students in both schools to a high degree. The second of the series will be held at Metzerott’s Music Hall Friday evening, February 23, and the subject under discus- sion will be “Resolved, That the United States gov- ernment should levy an income tax.” ‘The affirmative of the proposition will be presented by the Georgetown debaters, who are Mr. Charles D. Rooney of Massachu- setts, Mr. Joseph S. Rogers of Maryland and Mr. John W. Langley of Kentucky. The proposition will be attacked by the representatives of Columbian, who are Mr. Selden M. Ely of Virginia, Mr. Brainard Avery of Vermont and Mr. P. E. Cox of Tennessee. art of 1g So- John J. Dolan, Mr. John J. Dolan, president of the Georgetown Law Schoo!

Dolag, who as president of the Georgetowr Law School Debating Society will act as chairman of the debate, first saw the light in the Emerald Isle—a fact which may explain his display of brilliant rhetoric and witty, retorts in the first joint debate, in which he represented the post graduate class of Georgetown Law School. Mr. Dolan was Roscommon, Ire- , and came to this city in ISsu. He eived his primary education In the national schools of his native land and attended Carroll Institute night school in this city. Subsequently he attended Gonzaga College and in 1S8t entered St. Charles College, Maryland, where he was distinguished as an able ker and as a student: his uniform ap- pheation achieved for him igh success Completing his course in 1889 he became soon after professor of Latin and Greek in St. John’s College, which position he has held during the it four years and is now teacher of English Nterature in that in- stitution. He holds baccalaureate degrees in aris and laws and is at present in the post graduate class in the Georgetown Law School.

After enjoying the pleasures of conversa- tion in the parlor, Mrs. F. S. Nash, Miss | Heath and Miss Davis formed a safe envoy to escort the guests back to the banquet | hall, where a spread was laid. The room was decorated with the continental colors, blue and buff, and above the refreshment table was an arch of ribbon, stamped with the names of the heroes of the revolution | and the dates of the famous battles. There | were souvenir favors for the guests to carry away—little: continental hats, surmount- ing a blue bon bon box, on which were stamped in gilt, the name of the society | and the dates 1776 and 184.

Invitations had been sent out for a chapeau soiree and the result was that something novel was locked for by the guests. They had it. When all had assembled, thirty or more in number, the guests were each presented | with a big brown paper bag. In theirs the men found some’ curious style of ladies’ | hat or bonnet of by-gone generation, with a handfnl of ribbon lace, feathers and ar-| tifictal flowers. The ladies had a handful of silk cambric. Little tables were grouped around the room and at these the guests sat while they did the tasks allotted to them. the men to trim bonnets as best suited thelr respective tastes and the wo- men to make of their materials something unique in the way of smoking caps. The men would progress from table to table carrving thelr work with them. and tt] micht well be said that they furnished the amnsement of the evening. for those hats will never be worn in nublic. Men are sharp critics of women's headwear, but it is ene thing to criticise and another thing to improve. Late in the evening when. the work was all through the men gave their handiwork to the women. who gave in ex. change pretty and dainty smoking caps. ani with these on their heads the part ediourned to the dining room, where a! han some coliation was served. enlivened by the amusement fornished by the start- ling array of ats. caps and bonnets.

A special dispatch to the New World from Rio de Janeiro Bay The insurgents refused today to allow @ water boat alongside the English mer- chant ship Nasmyth. The captain of the ship immediately ap- pealed to the commander of the British Squadron for safe conduct for the boat, from which he desired to get 2 needed i of fresh water. The British com- ler refused to grant the request. The ship captain threatened to appeal to Admiral Benham, in command of the United States squadron, but the British commander was obdurate. True to his word, the Nasmyth’s cap- tain went to Admiral Benham, stated his case and asked for proteétion for the water boat. , Admiral Benham prompfiy granted the English captain's request and gave the requisite orders to Lieut. Kilburn, who conducted the water boat under the Amer- fean flag. . The rebels did not fire upon the boat. This incident has created a profound sensation in British shipping circles. The British squadron is roundly denounced. It has come to be a common saying that all nationalities must seek protection in the bay from the commander of the Amer- ican squadron. York i IT WAS INCORRECT. The Report That a Cornell Student Died Yesterday. ‘The report was incorrect that was tele graphed from Ithaca, N. Y., yesterday that Thomas McNeil of Pittsburg, a Cornell University student, had died from the ef- | fects of the chlorine gas blown into the freshman banquet hall by the sophomores on Tuesday night. A coroner's jury was impaneled yesterday morning, but after viewing the body of the dead colored cook adjourned until today. The faculty has taken no action. The city uthorities, however, are making a strict and thorough investigation of the affair. It is reported that they have already as- certained where the stone jug was bought in which the gas was generated, and are on the track of the persons who rented the room beneath the dining hall. The uni- versity authorities will act severely in case any of the participants are caught. since it has been President Schurmaa’s policy | to break up these class affairs. In the room containing the jugs In which Were placed the chemicals was found the remains of a lunch, thus tending to prove that the perpetrators were at work during the day time. Mrs. Jacks n's daughter is in a critical condition, as yell as F. Colluch of Oneonta, N_Y., a member of the class of Mr. Gillette, an assistant in Rumsey @ Co.'s hardware store, states that a chisel was purchased there on Tuesday morning by a young man (presumably a student), which was afterward returnel and an auger taken in its place. With these clues it is thought that the guilty parties can be identified by subpoening every sophomore for identification. The arrested students were arraigned last evening before Recorder Smith and pleaded not guilty. They were then Lailed until Saturday. The report that students are leaving town rapidly is not true. The fact that the glee club started on its trip yesterday gave rise to the story. All the students who were taken unconscious from the hail are now recovered and free from the effects of the gas. President Schurman, who has returned from Albany, said last night that until a meeting of the trustees of the university had been held he would say nothing. He greatly deplored the fact that such an af- fair should have taken place, but thought that the city authorities were the ones to take action. re tewn is still much excited over the affair. Dix) Every three months a public disputation in theology and philosophy ts held by the students of Woodstock College. Last Mon- day was the regularly appointed day for the one in theology, and the apostolic delegate attended. Among the visitors were Rev. Dr. Papi, secretary of the apostolic delega- tion; Rev. J. Havens Richards, rector of Georgetown University; Rev. Gitles- pie, S.J. rector of Gonzaga College; Rev. Wm. J. Scanlan, 8.J., Rev. John Colgan, 8. J. Rev Rene Holland, S.J., Rev. Wm. Brett, Rev. R. mnell, Rev. P. Casey, Rev. James Smith, S.J., Rev. A. J. Brundia, Rev. Thos. F. Freeman, 8.J., and others. | Fr. A. Sabetti, S.J., prefect of studies and professor of moral theology, opened the exercises on the part of the faculty with an-adiress of welcome in Latin, the lan- guage in which the entire disputation was carried on. Thos. F. Brown of Milwaukee, John 8. Hollahan of this city, C. Hill, D. O'Sullivan of New Orleans and D. Heaven took part in the discussion. Archbishop Satolli also spoke, and at the close delivered an address. os Monster grocery — list, page 5.—Advt.
