Capture a Train. At Oaklond, Cal., yesterday the strikers formed Into several riotoas mobs of 200 or 800 men each. AN incoming and outgoing passenger trains were so strongly guarded that they were not interfered with, but the y of these mobs fell upon such luckless non-union men as the strikers were able to waylay going to and from their work.

A striker had managed to elimb ard and cut the air-b stalled, and the rioters soon swarming ahout, coupling pins out. A troop of cavalry and a company of infantry came down upon the mob. The alrymen used their sabers and clubbed with their pistols, and foot soldiers prodded freely with their bayonets. In the struggle two shots were fired by the soldiers, though no one was hit. The strikers were finally v had draw: ho w all the put to filght. A number of the rioters sought refuge in the cottage of a striker. The soldiers followed, raided the house, and arrested twenty-one men. Several of the rioters were cut and bruised. The freight train was run to a side track and abandoned.

WE GET MORE CASH The District Appropriation Bill Passed by the Senate. THE HOUSE SUM LARGELY INCREASED Lively Debate Over the Board of Children’s Guardians. A COMPROMISE EFFECTED —_ The debate over the appropriation for the board cf children’s guardians in the Dis- trict appropriation bill In the Senate yester- day afternoon continued with vigor after The Star had gone to press, and finally resulted In a compromise. It was evident that a strong opposition had been organized to the reductions made by the committee. Senators McMillan and Vilas were in earn- est consultation, and they soon had gath- ered around them a group of Senators will- ing to vote to increase the appropriations allotted to the young organization. Mr. Vilas, it 1s sald, had several democratic votes pledged against the committee, and it was understood that practically the en- tire republican side would vote for an in- crease. There were signs of a hot fight, with the chances rather In favor of the op- ponents of Mr. Gorman's committee, but that clever general did not let the matter come to a vote, and settled the question by a compromise, which he offered three times before Mr. McMillan, who was man- aging the fight for the board, would ac- cept. The final agreement was that the ad- ministrative fund of the board should be increased $5,000, enough to make the sal- ary of the agent $1,500 instead of $1,000, and that the fund for the care of feeble and other children should be raised from $9,650 to $13,000. Mr, McMillan was anxious for the restoration of the House items, but agreed to accept the compromise in the hope that these figures would be still fur- ther raised in conference. After Mr. Mc- Millan had spoken to show the work of the board since {ts organization, Mr. Black- burn characterized the board as one of the most useless and costly luxuries ever established in the District. “It fs in its very nature an anomaly,” he said, “It is an incongruity.” Mr. Blackbarn’s Attack. Mr. Blackburn called attention to the fact that scarce had the superintendent of charities entered upon the office that Con- gress created than the board of children's guardians was organized, which, he said, all it did or ever attempted to do in the world was to usurp the function of the superintendent. “For the last ten months that friction, which was inevitable, which could not have been avoided and must of necessity have been foreseen if the atten- tion of reflecting men had been called, has been prevalent. If the board of children’s guardians is to be continued the office of superintendent of charities should be abol- ished. They have had each other by the ears since last fall. “I undertake to say that there never was in this District or anywhere else upon this continent or on this earth a system of charities established that has prove expensive per capita and as worthless in its character and results as this board. It has cost five times as much under their supervision to support or care for the child as It cost under any other system of char- ities ever known in this District. Besides, they do not take care of the children. The board of children’s guardians has never had a child in its possession unless it was a child brought to it by a certain member of the police force. There is no board of ehilcren’s guardians, nor any other sort of board. It is a corporation, it may be so termed, consisting of one man. Its agent I belfeve is a man by the name of Lewis. He does what he pleases with the funds. He expends at his own pleasure, without restriction of law, the appropriations that you make. To denominate him a crank, in the face cf the record which he has made, would be to treat him very mildly and very kindly. What the President of the Board Says. “The president of this board is a most accomplished and most estimable lady. Her heart is wrapped up in charitable endeay- or of every description. I say upon her authority, as given to me by herself, that the board has no practical power on earth over the appropriations, but that this agent Is the only ene who claims or exer- cises an atom of authority. I have au- thority from thegsame high and unques- tionable source for the statement that its record so far Is a failure and that she was dy and more than willing to come be- the appropriations committees and make the same statement.’ Mr. Blackburn went on to say that the committee d made an error in not abol- ishing the be He had given the matter r of the District great conside 1 had en d to the bottom of it. > other he continued, “has seen fit to make tions largely in excess of any t this agent has ever been able to nd—and h the — record y with ft—in der the ~luce these appropria- so as to send the matter to confer- Mr. Blackburn concluded by asserting that the various charitable institutions raise more than per cent of their own expenses and he appealed to Senator Gor- man not to add one penny to the recom- mendations of the committee. The Board Defended by Mr. Gallinger, Senator Gallinger responded to this sbeech of Mr. Blackburn with warmth. “The Senator says that the money has been wasted by the board of children’s guard- fans,” he said, “that the work they have done has Leen absolutely worthless. I do not know what estimate is put upon a child by the Senator from Kertucky, but my judgment is that if this board have found five children ving lives of vagrancy, or of shame, and have put them in good homes where they are cared for, and to a reason- able extent are educated, and are taught pe elements of manhood and womauhood, it is idle to say that the few thousand dol- lars Congress has appropriated for this charity have been thrown away, or have been worthlessly used.” Mr. McMillan interjected the information that the beard had found comfortable homes for over ninety dependent children. “It Is a remarkable thing,” continued My. Gallinger, “for a Senator of the United States, In the face of that fact, to stand here and say that the few thousand dollars appropriated have been uselessly disbursed. This charity appeals very strongly to every sentims of my heart. I believe it is in the right direction. I believe it is in better taste for Congress to appropriate money to a non-sectarian institution presided over by men and women who have the welfare of children at heart, and who are interested not only to save them for a day or a month or a year, but to put them under influences that very likely wiJl mold them into good men and women. I do not compiain that the Senate has increased the appropriations for these other institutions. I believe that Congress 1s very stingy with these appro- priations, because {t has been demonstrated over and over again that true economy in dealing with poor, destitute and outcast children lies in the line of the utmost lib- erality. Another Statement as to the Head of the Board. the Senator from Kentucky has quoted the lady who is at the head of the board as giving testimony to its discredit. I be- lieve she has called upon me and she has made no such statement. On the contrary she made an earnest appeal for a Mberai appropriation for the board. If she has made the siatement attributed to her by the Senator from Kentucky, I submit that she has no right to remain fn the position which she occupies today, for a woman who is at the head of the great moral, educa- tional or benevolent institution who makes a statement that the funds are not properly used, and that the work of the organiza- tion Is not being well conducted, ought to resign from the position instead of making Se complaints such as have been attributed to her, “I do not know Mr. Lewis, the agent. 1 have been told that he is a very reputable man, @ very benevolent man, having 4! heart the interests of the poor children oj the District, and I be bound to believe that such ig the fact. He may be a crank. Most men eo geod in this world de- velop’ cranRin sooner or latér in some direction. Me may be a crank in this par- ticular direstion of Jooking after the poor, destitute childgen of the District—and the Lord knowy there ig a superabundance of them on every hand—trying to find for them well-managed and Christian homes. “I presume this appropriation is to be re- duced, and I regret it exceedingly, because I feel that this one institution, divorced from the church, non-sectarian in its work, ought to recelve the approbation and the Generous support of the Senate.” Mr. Gorman's Compromise, Mr. Gorman answered briefly that the or- Banization of tho board was a reversal of the whole system of charities in the Dis- trict, which naturally and necessarily pro- duced a very sharp conflict, The appro- priations to some of the institutions had been reduced to a point where they could not live, and he was endeavoring to adjust the differences without impairing the effi- ¢lency of the board or of the institution, It had been thought best to take the mat- ter into conference and adjust {t there. Then he proposed the compromise which was accepted, and the controversy ended for the present. Other Amendments. The bill was amended by the Senate to the final effect of increasing the total ap- Propriations to $5,888,088.57, a net increase yesterday in the Senate of $33,550, and a total increase over the House bill of $681,615. In addition to the amendments adopted before The Star's report closed, several others were agreed to, as follows: $5,000 to be appropriated out of the sum for the extension of highways, for the preparation of sketches, plans, &c., by Frederick Law Olmstead for the extension of streets and avenues; a provision that a sufficient sum of the amount given for street improvement be expended in remov- ing the parking in the center of New York avenue between th and 10th streets; set- ting aside $5,000 of the street sprinkling fund for sprinkling driveways outside the city Hmits; $3,500 for paving the north side of Lincoln Square between 11th and 4th streets east; an increase In the sal- ary of time keeper in the water depart- ment from $80Q to $900; $5,000 for extending Clayton street from 13th street northwest, from llth street extended to Sherman ave- nue, one-half to be paid by the District and one-half by the abutting property. Some That Failed. Mr. Peffer made an earnest appeal in be- half of the police van, ambulance and pa- trol drivers, who are seeking an increased salary from the present low rates to $480 a year. He made a brief speech, urging that this was entirely inadequate compen- sation for the duties imposed, for the long hours required, but the amendment was defeated. Mr. Gallinger brought forward his amendment appropriating $2,500 for fire alarms in the public schools, but Mr, Gor- man answered him that the committee hal found that this sum would not be sufficient, and that next year the committee would institute a; thorough and complete scheme for protection against fire, and Mr. Gallin- ger withdrew the amendment. The bill was then passed. ————_ + e+ ____ REST WAS ESSARY. Mr. John Murphy a Follower of High- ‘Toned Sport. “Yer honor,” remarked Mr. John Murphy to Judge Miller this morning, “I'm eight years in this beautiful city, born an’ rais- ed in New Yor, an’ for several years in th’ employ of th’ ginera! government, sor.

What about that, John? “Surprised I'm, sor, that a dacent mon, a follower of a dacent high-toned sport, should be a’rested for nothin’, sor, locked up in a dirty cell, an’ then be charged as I'm charged, sor." “When did you last speculate rai inquired the court. “Last Saturday, sor, ‘cross th’ river.

The assembling took piace in the city opera house, The song that made Key’s name one of which the na- tion is proud was sung by one hundred voices. Several selections of a patriotic tenor, composed by Mr. Folger McKinsley, were sung with an inspiring effect. It was decided to establish branch memorial so- cleties in all the districts of the county, with Independent officers, and to secure the assistance of the school children in consum- mating the plans laid out. It is believed that much will come of the meeting.

Charles Porter, who is in charge of the récruiting office for the army in this city, the hard times and the arrival of the various industrial armies has had practically no effect on the number of applicants for positions in the ianks of Uncle Sam’s defenders. Capt. Porter was asked by a Star reporter this morning whether or not the influx of men admitted- ly out of work had increased his work. “Not to any appreciable extent,” he said. “In fact, oniy two men who were connected with these so-called industrial armies have been passed into the ranks in this city. I supposed myself that a large number of these men would be only too glad of a chance to get regular work, even if it in- volved the wearing of the biue uniform, but so far we have had very few applic One requisite to enlistment, you know, is that the man shall furnish @ recommenda- tion front some one under whom he has been employed within six months prior to enlistment.

Mount Pleasant has its summer snowball factory, and the boys pay for taking away the snowballs, while in the winter time they get the money and the manufacturer is glad to get rid of the frozen vapor. Sun- day night this factory was in full operation, and L. E. Fitzgerald, the proprietor, let his clerk off early and got ready to close about 9 o'clock, as that is the hour when “young America” is about ready to leave the strects and retire for the night. Be- fore the last light was extinguished a party of small colored boys came running over to the place. They were almost out of breath and che snowballs could not roll out fast enough for them. With the boys it was a game of “freeze cut,” and later on Mr. Fitzgerald had rea- son to believe that he was the victim of a similar game, in which ice was not neces- sary. About 400 pennies, money he had collect- ed for the cold refreshments during the day, had disappeared, and Policeman John Geghan was calied to the rescue. John is “one of the finest” of Lieut. Gess- ford’s squad, and yesterday morning he bad all the boys in custody. Judge Miller heard the case as presented by the officer and Clarence Keys and Charles Morse, two of their number, were fined $10 or thirty days each. Last night Policeman Lawrenson of the sceond precinct attempted to make an ar- rest in Freeman's a when a general row ensued, in which the officer was handied rather roughly by a crowd ef color- ed men and women. As a result of the row Joseph and Harry Anderson, Mary Brown, Carrie Bailey, Sidney Davis, Annie Ander- son, John Mercer, Thomas Butler, Lizzie Brown, Wm. Vincent, Joseph Carter and Isaiah and Jos. Price were charged in the Pelice Court this morning with disorderly conduct. Judge Miller discharged Butler, fined the Balley woman $5 and fined the others $20 each. In default of the fine the parties were sent down to the werk house for four months each. _—— Judgment Crediters’ BIN. Harrison §. Barbour, as the surviving Partner of the firm of James L.

Beck, who had been in charge of the train cn the journey to Cleveland, was also intrusted with the duty of secing the del- gates eafely home. The train pulled out of Cleveland at 2:50 p.m. yesterday, amid the waving of hand- kerchlefs and good-byes of a large number of the Cleveland entertainers, who had come to the station to see the Washing- tontans off. At Youngstown a hot box caused some de- lay, and while waiting the entire party turned out upon the platform and joined in the singing of hy Youngstown End returning from the .. “Washing- ton, "86," was warmly applauded, and the combined delegations sang “Biest Be the Tie That Binds,” “Scatter Sunshine” and other convention favorites. At another stop further on the delegates whiled away the time by tossing candy and pennies into a crowd of ragged urchins, who congregated with open eyes and mouths beside the car. When Pittsburg was reached the party were einen that — car could not, by reason of an injunction covering a certain stretch of track, be transferred from the Erle to the Baltimore and Ohio road. This was a a disappointment, since the del- egates ~¢ been assured at Cleveland that this could and would be done, and, acting upon this information, they had made themselves at home in the car, and were Somewhat loth to leave. However, they saw that there was no other way out of it, and as they tramped up the platform the spirit of Christian En- deavor good nature found expression in the Song, “There's Sunshinc in My Sou The trensfer to the Baltimore and Ohio depot was quickly made by means of two large "buses, and soon the party found themselves comfortably fixed for the night. Just before the time for the train to start Mr. Foster was seen coming down the platform, his face almost hidden by a large Watermelon which he carried. Assistance was promptly offered him, and in a second Foster, Watermelon & Company were perch- ed upon the shoulders of several stalwart ones, and the trip down the platform made in the shortest time on record. Incidents of the Trip. Shortly after leaving Pittsburg Mr. Fos- ter, on behalf of the delegation, presented Pullman Conductor Beck a purse which had been made up by the delegation in recogni- tion of his very courteous and valuable assistance to the party. Mr. Beck re- sponded In a neat speech. The usual even- ing devotional exercises were conducted by Mr. W. W. Tuckey of the Sixth Pres- byterian Church. In addition to the Wash- ington delegates there were on the train Endeavorers from Texas, Maryland, Iowa and nnsylvania, and some of these were present at and took part in the meeting, A number of hymns were sung and after the sweet strains of “Home, Sweet Home,” had died away all sought their berths and were soon dreaming of the subject of the last song. Before Harper's Ferry was reached this morning the majority of the party were stirring. At Washington Grove Mr. W. 1 H. Smith, chairman of the committee of “26, ied the train and was given an ovation. When the station at Washington was reached fully three hundred Endeavorers were gathered to welcome the victors. ‘Washington, "94," was enthusiastically sung and cries of “What's the matter with Foster?” “What's the matter with Smith?" received the regulation answer that botk of these gentlemen were “all right.” Tonight there ts to be great rejoicing ix the camp of the District Christian En. deavor Union, A meeting has been ar. ranged for the New York Avenue Churck at § o'clock, at which a number of the New York city delegates will be present.

The great cause of missions received much attention and the action of the trustees in gliying themselves with the secretaries of the various denominational ti:sionary boards means a great stride forward in the movement for missionary extension. This coalition, which will doul less prove the beginning of a new era in evan ic work, was consummated dur- ing a sail in a steam yacht upon Lake Erie Saturday afternoon. ‘The movement for Christian citizenship bleo received a large amount of attention, and the discussion upon this subject showe@ a deep-seated interest in the cause of clean polities and enlightcned legislation, Spiritually the eenveation was of great power and inspiration. The decision of the board of trustees favoring Washington as the meeting place for the "96 convention was unanimously reached after a full and complete discus. sion of the advantages of each of the com. peting cities.
