Meeting Last Evening of the Com- mittee of Arrangements—Commit- tees Appointed—Other Details. ‘The encouraging progress of the arrange- ments of the southern development business meeting, which will occur in this city next Thursday and Friday, received a slight check last evening, when it was developed at the committee meeting, at parlor 10, Willard’s, last night, that considerable op- Position to the enterprise has arisen among the merchants of the north. Newspaper clippings and other evidence were produced to show that letters are being’ written from the northern cities to business men in the south urging them not to attend the convention, and representing that it is not in the best of hands. It is not known just how many of these letters have been sent out or what effect they have had, but it is certain that the members of the com- mittee expressed themselves with free in- at the meeting last night when the fact of this opposition was brought to their attention. The matter came out with reference to the publication of the names of those south- ern men who have already signified their intention to attend the meeting. Mr. C. C. Lancaster moved to have the list of these names made out to be published and fur- nished to the committee on reception. In response to this, Mr. Colquitt, the general manager of the convention, said that at least 350 replies of acceptance have so far been These came from men whose names had been carefully selected upon the advice of the most prominent renresenta- tives here of the various southern states and after exam:nation oi the reports of the commercial agencies. Enterprising men of all lines of occupation, including farmers, had been invited and had promised to at- tend. Opposition to the Convention. It was suggested, at this point, that these names be read aloud, but this was opposed en the ground that it would take too much time, and then the matter of northern in- terference came to the surface. Mr. T. F. Barrett of West Virginia said that New York and Baltimore merchants were doing everything in their power to prevent the success of the meeting. He had himself seen a letter from New York discouraging any assistance in the matter, and he was sure that this was simply a sample of many others that had been sent through the south. In view of this fact he opposed the proposition to publish the names, on the ground that this would give the opponents of the convention an opportunity to address letters to those who had accepted to try to induce them to stay away. Mr. William E. Rogers of the District supported these views, and said that he was glad to see that certain men, who, it was rumored, had been induced to leave the movement, had remained loyal. Mr. Lan- caster insisted upon his motion that the rames be furnished to the committee, al- though he did not care to have them pub- lished. The motion was tabled by a vote of 17 to 6, on motion of Mr. E. M. Berry of Arkansas. Mr. Colquitt said that at all events the list would be prepared in time for this evening’s meeting. There were about sixty present at the meeting and many names were registered on the official books. Chairman Blackwell asked that the members should send out to boards of trade through the south tele- grams urging immediate action in the ap- pointments of authorized delegates to the convention. These telegrams had been pre- pared by the manager and the expense of transmission would be paid later by the finance committee. This committee was then named by the chair as follows: Dis- trict ofgGolumbia, Alex. D. Anderson; Ala- pt. William Byrd; Arkansas, T. G. Riley; Florida, Maj. J. H, Ketner; ‘Mary- Lee c. M. land, C. C. Lancaster rolina, W. W. Long; South Carolina, F. D. Yates; Tennessee, J. E. R. ~ Texas, L. M. Li mene oh = ‘R. Rogers; West Virginia, 'T. Board of Trade Conference. In addition to this committee another, to be known as the conference committee, to meet with the representatives of the board of trade to arrenge for the entertainment of the guests, was also named thus: Dis- trict of Columbia, Alex. D. Anderson; Ala- bama, Ben Micou; Arkansas, Ed. M. hag inson; Florida, Cc. H. Moore; K. Stansill; Maryland, C. C. Magruder, Me 3 Kentucky, Ss. M. Gaines; Louisiana, D. W. Blanckard; Mississippi, Wallace McLaurin; Missouri, cc. Morrow; North Carolina, Sanderl: South Carolina, rae Tennessee, H. W. Wall; B. Bocock; Virginia, Gen. Pey- & West Virginia, A. 8. Maddox. Dr. Waiter C. Murphy ‘of North Carolina was elected secretary to succeed Mr. S. W. Railey of Kentucky, whose resignation was received last night on account of his inability to secure the time for the proper performance of his duties. A letter was read from Mr. E. P. Baldwin, stating that he would not be able, owing to the dan- gerous illness of his father, to serve as chairman of the Maryland reception com- mittee. He suggested that Mr. C. C. Lan- caster be chosen in his stead, and Chair- man Blackwell turned the matter over to the Maryland committee. It was voted that the chairman should appoint a com- mittee on hall and rooms, and this body will co-operate with Manager Colquitt to provide. for his assistance, a doorkeeper and a sergeant-at-arms. After the regular meeting, the finance committee met and organized by electing Capt. William Byrd of Alabama, chairman, and Mr. T. F. Barrett, secretary and treas- urer. It was announced after some dis- cussion of ways end means for raising funds that there would be no question of the ability of ccmmittees to secure ample subscriptions to pay all the expenses of the convention. There will be a meeting at 4:30 this after- noon of the chairmen of the state commit- oad and a general meeting at 8 o'clock to- night. ——— The Grange Ca: Fair. ‘The tenth annual fair and exposition of the Grange Camp Association of Northern Virginia will be inaugurated at the Alex- ander Island greunds, Virginia, on the 10th of next month, concluding on the 22d of that month. The association already pos- sesses one of the most conveniently ar- ranged race tracks in the country and an exposition hall 150 by 50 feet, two stories in height, to be devoted to agricultural and mechanical exhibits to be erected. Accom- modations for cattle, small stock, poultry and other like exhibits will be made and everything done to make the exposition at- tractive to visitors. There will be five run- ning races each day, and on five or more days trotting, pacing and hurdle races, and two tournaments, one for amateurs and the other for professionals, will be conducted. A military drill will also be a feature of the exposition, also band competition. In ad- dition there will be base ball and foot ball games, bicycle tournament and firing con- tests, shooting matches and addresses by prominent public men, Over $15,000 will be distributed in prizes and premiums. ——-— The Choral Society’s Excursion. Last evening the Choral Society and their many friends participated in an excursion to Marshall Hall. Dancing and music were the features of the evening. Mr. T. Will- iams-Pearman of Fulton Church, London, sang several selections, and his fine tenor voice was greatly enjoyed. “The Star of Bethlehem” he executed in an excellent manner, singing as an encore Piccolominis’ “Love Song.” The society sang “The Bac- chantes” chorus in a splendid manner, the last number on the program being Bene- dict’s “Hunting Seng” chorus. Mr. W. H. Conley sang a humorous song in Italian dialect. Mrs. M. O'Donoghue, chairman; Miss Amy C. Leavitt, Mr. Norman H.Camp, Mr. Statius Meade and Mr. P. C. J.

Representatives of Various Organiza- tions Meet Perfect Arrangements. A very largely attended meeting of rep- Tesentatives from the different labor or- ganizations of the District was held at Bricklayers’ Hall, 7th and L streets, last evening, for the purpose of completing ar- rangements for the celebration of Labor day, September 3. President M. Canty pre- sided, Mr. R. C. Bollinger acting as secre- tary. President Canty briefly alluded to the importance of a fitting celebration of the day and said it was an occasion on which all should participate who had the rights of the laboring mun at heart. Re- plying to invitations to review the parade, Speaker Criep stated that he would prob- ably be absen: from the city at the time, much to his regret, and Representative Amos J. Cummings said that it would give him much pleasure to accept the invitation should he be in the city at the time. Upon calling for reports from the differ- ent unions the respective delegates, with hardly an exception, stated that their unions had about completed all arrangements for participating in the parade. The delegates from the Bookbinders’ Union stated that they would also have a float in line illus- trating their trade, in which sixteen young ladies” would take part. The electrical workers also stated that they would have a float in line and at least 100 men. A report was made by Chief Marshal M. F. Hobbs assigning places in the line of march to the different organizations. Mar- shal Hobbs explained, however, that the re- port was not quite perfected yet. Mr. E. J. Roche called attention to the fact that no provision had been made for accommoda- tion of those invited to review the parade. After a short discussion of the matter Messrs. E. J. Roche, E. J. Rea and M. F. Spohn were appointed a committee to per- fect such arrangements, with instructions to rere At the next meeting. In response to the inquiry of President L. W. Quisenberry of the Plumbers’ Labor Union, No. 1, an invitation was extended to the union to participate in the parade. It was explained that the union numbers 150 men and that it would turn cut in full force. ‘The invitation extended to the Fat Men’s Beneficial Association was withdrawn. That all men in line might obtain a view of the procession it was decided to countermarch up the north gide of the avenue to 15th street, then cross to the south side, back to the starting point; with that exception the line of march remains as previously an- nounced. The next meeting will be held at the same place on Wednesday evening next. phonic aeatend * AMUSEMENTS.

The opera hovse has been entirely redecorated during the time it has been closed and in its pres- ent colors of white “and gold presents a cheerful and homelike appearance. The lobby ornamentation is being completed and will prove, it is said, when all is done, the most beautiful entrance to a theater in this country. ‘The sale of seats for next Week's performance opened at the box office today Butler's Bijou Theater.—Next week: But- ler’s Bijou Theater will formally open for the season, and the first attraction will be “Darkest Russia.” This popular melodrama was written by H.

It is one of the best acting plays that has been seen in many years, containing many striking sit- uations and opportunities for realistic scenic effects. It will be presented by a strong company, each member of which has been selected with reference to individual adapt- ability for the character represented. A complete set of new scenery will be brought here und the production will be carefully attended to in every detail. There will be matinees on Monday, Tuesday and Sat- urday. The box office opened for advance sale of seats today. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—In the “Big Four Specialty Company” Manager Kernan has provided a fitting attraction to enter- tain his patrons as well as the many vis- ftors who will flock into the city next week. The organization contains a num- ber of the highest salaried artists on the vaudeville stage, and this fact alone is an excellent guarantee of what one might ex- pect in the way of high-class vaudevilles. ‘The company is headed by those inimitable entertainers, The Big Four—Smith, Martin, Haley and Sparks—followed by the Nationai Trio—Frank Bryan, Nelly Forrester and Gilbert Moulton, authors and originators; Falke and Semons, in their musical comedy act; Johnson, Riano and Bentley, the in- novators; Masand and Marba, the acro- batic wonders; Frank Moran, the Senato!

Pentz will leave at ¥:45 am., 1:45 and 6:45 p.m. This evening at 6:30 the Charles Mac- alester will leave her wharf for Marshall Hall and Indian Head. These trips to In- dian Head that are given by Capt. Blake are the most enjoyable that can be had on the Potomac. Prof. Schroeder's fine band is aboard the Macalester and renders fine concert music, which adds to the enjoyment of the trip. Those who love dancing will find plenty of it at Marshall Hall, and those that enjoy the ride on water can continue on to Indian Head. The last boat leaves Marshall Hall at 9:30 p.m., thus giving all the benefit of a summer evening on the Potomac. —_—-_—> — Interesting Temperance Meeting. The semi-monthly meeting of Chapin aux- iliary of the Woman's Christian Temper- ance Union, Mrs. M. E. Cohen, president, was held at the headquarters in Central Union Mission yesterday, over a score of ladies being present. Mrs. 8. D. LaFetra conducted the service and gave a brief Bible talk from the fifth chapter of St. James. Mrs. Marks offered prayer. There were short talks by Madames Griffith, Shelton, Powers, Marks, Brown, Barritt and others. The minutes of the previous session were read by the corresponding secretary, Miss Gussie Nichols, and adopted. Announce- ment was made that a gospel mass meeting would be held at the First Congregational Church, under the auspices of the Dis- trict W. C. T. U., on next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, when visiting Knights of Pythias and others would speak. The regular hour of the meetings was changed to 2 p.m., beginning with next Wednesday. It was stated that Miss Leav- ins, a physical culture teacher from Chica- go, would spend the winter in this city, and give some lectures under the auspices of the union.

A Summary of the Results Achieved— Engineering Work Amidst Sandy Surroundings Not Easy. Camp Gilbert Thempson is no more, and the members of company C, engineer corps, are home again affer a season of valuable experience. The extire Mount Pleasant Bugle and Drum Corps turned out to escort the com- pany and their own returned mombers to the engineer corps’ armory on D street Tuesday. The musical escort rather outnumbered the company, but all the men in camp were not in line, some being in Baltimore and some raving returned to Washington before the camp broke up. The members of the drum corps who were in camp marched in a line behind the rest of the musicians, and were otherwise easily to be distinguished by the dusty appearance of their uniforms. How- ever, their step was springy and their music lively, and they even wished they might have remained at Ocean City longer. Arrived at the armory, Capt. Averill made a little talk to the company, and then. gave Capt. Horton of the-general staff an oppor- tunity to say to the company what he had been telling, unoffictally, the officers and men in camp. It was an expression of his appreciation of the courtesy of the com- pany to him, and his realization of the fact that company C, engineer corps, had done mere work in this camp than any other company whose camp he had ever attended. He complimented Capt. Averill, and mod- estly claimed credit only for getting the men to show respect for the flag. But the company remembers his Instruction in guard duty and many occasional suggest- ions which tended to improve the com- pany’s military tone. “At the conclusion of nis remarks the boys gave him three rous- ing cheers. Mr. Fava did rot return with the com- pary, but left on an earlier train for Brook- lyn, where he will stay for a week or ten days. A Cane of Larceny. A colored fellow went with the boys as general factotum, and made himself very useful, but he did not seem to be satisfied with the pay he got, and he selected Private Love as a suitable one to levy on, but for- got to mention the matter to him, and when Private Love missed his pocket book and a crisp $20 bill he was highly incensed at such @ free-and-easy way of doing things, So he and Capt. Averill laid their plans, and about 8 o'clock on Monday evening the colored gentleman was cailed on to explain where he got a twenty-dollar note which he had had changed that day. He said he had borrowed it from another colored fellow, but when this other fellow was brought in he swore he hain’t seen a twenty-doliar bill since he didn’t know when. The camp fel- low then said he had picked the note up in the sand near one of the tents, and was waiting for it to be called for. He is now living on the county .there until the court meets in October. i He is certainly well stocked with assura@mee, for he was at the train this morning,ain charge of a police- apes and took up va collection from the ys. The life-saving st#tten at Ocean City was an object of a greatrtleal of interest, and several of the boys took advantage of Capt. Dunton’s kind invitmtion to inspect it, and went through it with fim on Monday after supper. They were Wery much pleased with all the appointments and arrangements for the saving of life. Summing Up. The second encampment of company C hag not been as much of an all-round suc- cesS as the first. "The seashore is a fine place to play, but it"is‘not suitable for much military work, and $s not-at all adapted for engineering work. Pte loose, yielding sand prevents any satisfaetory drill practice, as it is teo heavy work to’ get around at all to do it with much regard, to the way it ts done. And the same thing made all engin- eering work doubly difficult and wearisome. Signaling practice could~ be had only at short distances; good gablon material was not to bé.had, and such as could be gotten was some ‘distance away. otography is the only specialty of the company which did not suffer. Mr. Fava was especially ob- lging in going out with details for all kinds of work to get instantaneous pictures of the men as they were actually at work. Other cameras also assisted in getting this per- manent and truthful record of the doings of the company. Quartermaster Sergt. Freeman deserves special mention. But in spite of all obstacles, the company has done very well, and has profited much from its ten days in camp. Monsen’ Aug Clearing Sale.

In the hallway, just back of the front staircase, was a little call box of the local messenger company and beside it a card upon which was printed the statement that by ringing a certain number of times you could call a messenger, a cab, a policeman, doctor or the fire department, according to the number of rings. Occasionally it had been used to summon a messenger, and in most instances, after waiting the due length of time, a boy had appeared. The cynical member of the household nad fre- quently laughed to scorn the alleged use- fulness of the box and had boldly avowed his belief that in an emergency the call box would prove just about as useful as little Jimmy’s musie box. Last uight the emergency came. All the men of the family happened to be cut, even the eliest scn, the foot ball player, whose athletic prowess was looked upon as the bulwark of the family’s safety. At this critical time a noise was heard in the kitchen, as of some one moving stealthily about. Investigation was cautiously made, and there, just outside the kitchen door, was a man. The man was apparently as much alarmed as any one else when dis- covered, and he made haste to disappear. A council of war was held in the house, and it was determined to fall back on the call box and summon a policeman. The stipulated number of rings were given. The clicking cf the little instrument kad a cheering, business-like sound, that was very reassuring. Then came the suspense of the long wait. Minutes passed slowly, and every ear listened for hurrying steps of the expected policeman or sounds of the burglar.
