BOOMING THE STATES The adjourned meeting of the conference of southern men residing in the District for the purpose of making arrangements for the holding in this city next week of a convention, having for its object the de- velopment of the south, was held in parlor 10 of Willard’s Hotel last evening. The meeting was quite largely attended, and while no business of more than ordinary importance was transacted, much was done which evidenced that the coming conven; tion will be an undoubted success. Third Auditor Samtel Blackwell of Alabama pre- sided, Dr. W. C. Murphy of North Carolina acting as secretary. After the minutes of the preceding meeting had been read and approved, the chair announced the appoint- ment of the following committee on halls and rooms: E. C. Campbell, Alabama; E. 8. Ferry, Arkansas; Lamar Cobb, jr., Georgia; W. P. Couper, Florida; John M. Carter, Maryland; George W. Casttle, Kentucky; F. B. Jones, Louisiana; S. W. E._ Peguer, Mississippi; J. W. Witten, Missouri; Dr. Sterling Ruffin, North Carolina; T. F. Brantley, South Carolina; Park Marshall, Tennessee; J. R. Hamilton, Texas; J. C. Johnson, Virginia; A. B. Wells, West Vir- ginia, and W. E. Rogers, District of Co- lumbia. Marager Hugh H. Colquitt of Georgia of the reception committee then stated that he desired to squelch the impression which had sought to be created in certain quarters to the effect that the convention would be slimly attended. He had reason to believe that it would be one of the largest attended conventions ever held in this city. The call for the convention had created a great amount of enthusiasm throughout the south, and hundreds of replies to the invitation to attend had been received from the lead- ing men of the south. Most of those in- vited would attend, and those who found themselves unable to do so had promised that they would do everything in their power to promote the object of the proposed convention. Mr. Colquitt then read a num- ber of letters in reply to the invitations sent out which, he explained, had. sub- stantiated all that he had said. The first letter read by Mr. Colquitt was from Prof. N. R. Pratt from Mississipp!, who is known as the father of the phosphate industry of the country. Prof. Pratt wrote that he would probably attend the convention, and if he did would tell of the phosphates of Florida and South Carolina. Ex-Governor Fitzhugh Lee of Virginia wrote that he would probably attend, as did Senator Walsh of Georgia, Robert M. Dougiass of North Carolina, son of Stephen A. Douglass, Mayor Robert L. Moyer of Cuthbert, Ga. Manager William H. Green of the South- ern Railway system, Charles S. Estes, one of the cotton kings of Augusta, Georgia, and many others. Booming the States. Readirg the letters created great enthust- asm among those present, and the meeting then resolved itself in a sort of a love feast, delegates from the different states depict- ing in flowery and glowing language the re- sources of their respective states. Mr. D. H. Yancey of Florida explained that in fruit phosphates, tobacco, timber and fish the resources of Florida were simply un- limited. The climate was one of the most perfect known, and despite the general im- pression the state was the healthiest in the couatry. ‘There was more area in Florida adapted to the raising of sugar cane than in the whole island of Cuba. As good a grade of cigar tobacco was now being raised in Florida as was raised in Cuba, and here- after there would be no need of importing Havana cigars. Mr. L. Q C. Lamar of Mississippi stated that the resources of his state are princi- pally agricultural. But at the same time there were great timber resources. The state stood next to Texas in the amount of cotton raised and in the production of thor- oughbred horses was rapidly attaining a prominence hardly second to that of Ken- tucky. The dairying interests of the state are also very important. As for the woolen products, the state suffered, as did most of the other southe-n states, from a lament- able lack of railroad transportation, and Mr. Lamar pointed out that that was one of the great drawbacks to the progress of the south. ‘The resources of Virginia and of West Virginia were stated by Messrs. N. E. Vowles and T. F. Barrett respectively. The former said that in Virginia the birds sang Sweetest, the trees grew the tallest, the skies were the bluest, the air the purest and the women the fairest in the world; in fact, Virginia, he said, was God’s own land, and he could not but feel for those who were so unfortunate as to be compelled to live elsewhere. Mr. Barrett said thet West Virginia ships 8,000,000 tons of coal annu- ally and was the third coal-producing state in the country. In iron, of! and timber its resources were inexhaustible, and he ex- plained that Gov. McKorkle would read a paper before the convention illustrating-the resources of the state. Mr.W.O. Bradley of South Carolina stated that his state enjoyed an unequaled climate and its winter resorts were known the world over. The state was strictly an agri- cultural one, and, while leading the south in the manufacture of cotton, was second in the country. From the phosphate industries the state receives an annual revenue of $250,000. The state was also famous for its carly vegetables, which were shipped by fast freight over the whole country. The day of the bowie knife and the six- shooter in Texas, explained Mr. W. A Fields of that state, was long past and the society of the stats now compared favora- bly with that of any other. The resources of Texas were such as to make a Coxeyite 4n impossible thing, in the state. Land, the richest in the couritry, could be had there for $1.50 an acre, and ‘the purchaser would be given thirty or forty years in which to Tay for it. Horses and other stock were no lorger bred in a careless, haphazard way. but that Industry was given the greatest “re and consideration, and the ha sults had followed. ne ell Other gentlemen briefly told of the re- scurces of thcir respective states, and it was decided that at each meeting of the committee the states would be called that delegates from them might tell of the re- scurces and capabilities of their respective states. Upon the suggestion of Mr. Lee Lipscomb, it was decided that each state organization should have prepared and printed for distribution throughout the country pamphlets setting forth the re- scurces of their states. The meeting then ee to meet this evening at the same The Program. The committee has prepared the following draft of a program of the convention: Three sessions each day from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., 3 to 6 p.m. and 8 to 10 p.m. After the addresses of welcome on the morning of August 30 the afternocn will be evoted to addresses cn a government build- ing for permanent exhibit for two hours, from 3 to 5 p.m., by Alexander Anderson, Senator Patrick Walsh, John Joy Edson and Maj.

Hall has no com- petitor, and this is proved by the well-fied boats that go down during the day. ‘The last boat leaves Marshall Hall at 9:30 p.m., bringing every one home in good season. —___. A Liquor Case. An interesting liquor case will be tried in the Police Court in a few days, and even some of the persons connected with the Prosecution think it will prove tu be one of persecution rather than a prosecution in the interests of justice. Charles C. Bradley, who conducts a suloon at 943 B street, will appear as the defendant, and it will be charged that he permitted a female to serve drinks in the place in violation of the itquor law. Mrs. Rudd, who is said to have a share in the business, is the female charged, but her name does not appear in the license as one of the owners. Mr. Pugh at first refused to issue the warrant in the case. The law, he thought, was intended to prevent what is known in England as the barmaid system, girls serving drinks, and he doubted whether this was even a tech- nical violation of the law such as the court should rebuke. But there was influence brought to bear on the case, and yesterday the warrant was issued. Complaint had been made by counsel for an adjoining saloon keeper. Tne case was given a hearing before the Com- missioners, so it was stated, yesterday afternoon, and the decision favored Mrs. Rudd. Now, however, the case will be heard'in court, and Lawyer Shillington will =e the interests of Bradley and Mrs. udd. ——._ He Gave Change. Anthony Harris, a farmer from Bull Run, Va., came here Wednesday with a load of produce, and a colored man whom he met volunteered to assist him. He helped him, and when he pretended he had made a sale and wanted change for $ the countryman gave him $25. That was the last he saw of the city negro, and now he wants the police to capiure the man and recover his money if possible. ———+.__—. Davis Was Fined. Ex-Deputy Marshal James T. F.

Policeman C. H. King had five respect- able-looking’ young colored boys und girls before the court on a charge of disorderly conduct. He saw the judge before the case was heard and the result was that the charge against them was virtually withdrawn. “The officer does net desire that you be fined,” the judge said to the defendants. “You are nothing but boys and girls, and you may a8 well understand now as later that you can't gather on the sidewatks and at street corners and engage in loud con- versations.” With this warning the defendants were released on their cwn bonds. Next in order came two colored boys, Ar- thur West and Walter Ferguson, and the on against them was disorderly con- uct. . Just where the disorder came in Judge Taylor could hardly understand. The bo: were arrested near the base bail park yes- terday, and the only witness against them was a watchman named Davis. One of the boys wanted to see the game, and he looked through a hole in the fence, for he did not have money to pay his way in, For this he was arrested, and then, when the other boy came along and stopped to inquire the cause of the arrest, he got in trouble. He had two base ball bats in his possession at the time, and an officer want- ed to know what he was doing with them. He gave a civil answer, and then got ar- rested. Judge Taylor thought they had commit- ted no serious offense, and released them on_their own bonds. Ernest Copps, a young man, comfortably, but not neatly, dressed, next appeared, and he was called upon to give an account of himself. “He is known as one of the ‘graveyard rangers,’ said a policeman. “I arrested him on Lincoln avenue because I found that he had been begging. I took him to the house of Mr. Weyrich, and there he was identified as the man who had begged for something to eat.” The ofticer edded that some complaints had been made to the ofticers about these beggars, who are called “graveyard ran- gers.” “He's wrong,” said the prisoner. ‘When I went to the house the lady said I was there begging last Thursday. I returned frem Mineral City only last Friday, and. therefore, I could not; have been the house on Thursday.” “Ninety days.” A colored man, dressed in a blue suit with brass buttons and weairing a badge as iarge as the side of a toy house, was next in the procession, “Guilt he answered, when arraigned on a charge of discrderlyconduct on New Jer- sey avenue near the Wépot.

He was charged with having thrown stones at a colored lamplighter, named — Snell. “Just after I had finished lighting m: lamps,” said Jerry, “I started Comey, and this boy threw stones at me. One 2f them went over my head like a cannon ball and the other passed between my legs.” “Why don’t he pay me my $2?" asked the boy. “I drove a cart for him, and he won't pay. me.” “You can’t collect bills in tha Ase judge told him. he aor! “I don’t owe him a bill,” said Snell. “He Swelling in. the Neck “Large knots of scrofula nature came on my Wife's neck for four years, When she had taken two bottles of Hood's Sarsaparitla, we could see the swelling was going down.

Burning of the Capitol. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Just eighty. years today the invasion of Washington by the British took place. The American forces, consisting of raw militia, who had made a stand at Penn's farm, near Bladensburg, were driven from their breastworks on the 23d of August, leaving Commodore Barney, with his small band of sailors, as the only prisoners for the British in their triumphal march. Entering Washington without further re- sistance, they found the city deserted, with the exception of some old men, women and children, and at once commenced to sack the city and enter upon reckless course of destruction. The British soldiers were under the command of Gen. Ross, while Admiral Cockburn had charge of the naval portion of the army, which he had brought from Benedict, on the Pauiauxent river, where they had landed. On the morning of the 24th of August, 1814, the depredations of the invaders com- menced. Their first move was to burn the Capitol. A squad of soldiers went to the store of Mr. Young, the father of the late Dr. Noble Young, knocked in the heads of several barrels of tar, setting it on fire with their flint and steel, and applied the torch to the structure. The store of Noble Young was then on the site where the Con- gressional Hotel now stands. Ww. J. D. August 23, 1894, eo He Threw Bricks. Mason Morris, a colored man, who made an affidavit against Sergt. Daley a few days ago, figured in a fight in Willow Tree alley Wednesday evening and Policeman Troeter arrested him. He threw several bricks, one of which, it is charged, struck the police- actors: §_Rarraom programme.
