SOME OTHER BUSINESS At the regular monthly meeting of the East Washington Citizens’. Association held last evening at Baum’s Hall, 4th and East Capitol streets, President Babson presided. At his suggestion the committee on lights and sewers was increased from seven to nine, and Mr. W. A. Croffutt made chairman in place of Mr. W. C. Dodge, who had declined the chairmanship, and General William Birney was made the ad- ditional member of the committee. On motion of General Duncan 8. Walker the committee on reclamation of the Ana- costia flats was increased from five to nine, and the chair named as the additional members James A. D. Richards, Duncan S. Walker, W. A. Croffutt and Thos. W. Smith. = Cheaper Gas. On the call of reports from committees, Mr. Dodge, from the committee on water, lights and sewers, submitted the report of the work done by the committee during the past year. He reviewed the legislation in Congress respecting the price of gas and stated that the House bill reducing the price of gas to $1 per thousand feet and raising the candle power from sixteen to twenty-two had reached the Senate, where it was being opposed by a new com- pany, which proposed to furnish gas to the government at 60 cents and to citizens at 75. He urged the passage of the House bill. In connection with the matter he read a letter from the mayor of Phila- delphia, in which it was stated that Phi! delphia owned {ts own gas plant, and th: it had been rur last year at @ profit in Tognd numbers of $2,000,000. Chairman Weller, from the committee on assessments, stated that the committee had no report to make, but that all tax- payers who wish to note an appeal from the recent assessment should do so before the first of the month, and he intimated that if they wished them acted upon they should file their appeals by the 15th inst. School Salaries. From the committee on schools Chairman Hill made quite an extended report, and the suggestions contained in the report were separately discussed and voted upon. The first recommendation of tho commit- tee was that no salary paid to public school teachers should be less than $700 per an- num, and that all the salaries should be increased, including those paid to principals and supervising principals. This recom- mendation gave rise to quite a lengthy dis- cussion, Prof. Conrad of the comuinittee opposing the recommendation of the com- mittee. He was in favor of increasing the accommodations rather than the salaries, although he thought that the salaries of the teachers in the first four grades, those grades which did so much in the interests of children, should be first increased. He doubted whether there was any demand fur an increase of salary, or any necessity for an increase, remarking that if the teachers could serve for the same salaries when flour was $6 per barrel they should surely do so now, when flour was but $3 @ barrel. Mr. Girouard defefided the report of the committee. Mr. Croffutt thought the mat- ter an unwise-movement, and said that he knew of at least ten teachers who had come here because of higher salaries. Prof. Hird said that the salaries paid here were even higher than those paid in Massachu- setts. Mr. Weller was in favor of increas- ing the pay of the lower grade teachers, and on his motion the recommendation was divided, when, on motion of Gen. Walker, it was resolved that no salary should be less than $600 per annum, and the other recommendation of the committee was re- committed. / Some Improvements. The recommendations of the committee that gymnasiums should be established, the streets adjacent to the Maury School paved and better ventilation of school rooms pro- vided for, were adopted. But the next rec- ommendation of the comnaittee, that there should be a commission appointed in whose hands should be placed tha purchasing of text books and school supplies, was laid over for one week, when a special meeting of the association, to which the school trus- tees and other officials will be invited, will be held. The recommendation of the ‘com- mittee that the system of free text-books should be extended to the night schools was adopted. Mr. Hill presented a petition signed ty about 100 citizeus of Twining City and vi- cinity, — for the erection of a public school building in that locality. The asso- ciation unanimously indorsed the petition and directed the committee to lay it before the District Commissioners at once. Mr. Dove's Appointment, Mr. Weller gave notice that he had drafted @ resolution to be submitted to the associa- tion protesting against the action of Post- master Willett In appointing a Mr. Dove of the northwest section of the city as post- master of East Capitol station. He kad de- cided, however, to first submit the resolu- tuon to the executive committee of the as- sociation, and it was also propused that the executive committee should consult with the executive committees in the matter, that a determined stand might be taken against such utter disregard of the home- ruie principle. The meeting then adjourned to meet next Thursday evening, at the same time and place. “Si Lootah.”—There was a large audi- ence at Albaugh’s Opera House yesterday afternoon, composed principally of friends of the authors and singers, to witness the first production here of an opera entitled “si Lootah,” the music of which was writ- ten by Mr. Rufus C. Garland, and the book by Mr. Taylor Grimes. The ladies and gen- tlemen who purticipated yesterday did the best that was possible under a com- plidation of unfortunate circumstances, and the liberal applause of the audience showed that their efforts were appreciated. Both cast and chorus were amateurs, and the former included Messrs. Frank 'Reb- stock, James Watson, Will Mooney, George O'Connor, Felix Mahoney, Anthony A. Sousa, Chas. F. Roberts, Dr. John Daly, Master Arthur Clifton, Misses Mae Rogers, Alice Judson, Katharine Lackey and Lil- lian Sefton. ‘The National Fencibies pre- sented @ fine appearance, and gave a good exhibition drill after Capt. Domer had stopped the orchestra, whose time was too uncertain to allow of movements to music. The chorus was composed of well-known ladies and gentlemen, who did what was allotted to them well. Taken From Jury. In the sult instituted by Richard § Fletcher against the Baltimore and Poto- mac Railroad Company Judge Bradley yes- | terday afternoon took the case from the | jury, directing a Judgment in favor of the company. About four years ago Mr. Fletcher was struck by @ plece of wood thrown from a train on Virginia avenue; he was badly injured and claimed $10,000 damages. Mr. F. H. Mackey, representing | the plaintiff, argued that the company tol- erated the ‘practice of its employes in throwing wood from trains, and was there- fore responsible for injuries received by persons so injured. Judge Bradley would, however, not admit such a contention, and it is understood that the question will be carried to the Court of Appeals. —_—_—>——_ Taunton Silver Plate Co.'s sale.—The twenty-third annual sale will continue daily at 11 a.m., 8 and 7:30 p.m., at the ex- Mbition rcoms of Walter B.

The Down Town Club was “at home” last evening from 8 until 10:80 o'clock, and gave a most cordial welcome to a largo number of invited guests. The handsome club rooms, in the Washington Loan end Trust Compary building, wero effectively decorated with palms and flowers, and were all thrown open for the use of the members and their friends. In one corner of the main reception room an orchestra Was stationed, and added to the enjoy~ ment of the evening with excellent music. The board of governors of the club, com- of F. B.

Kefer, Stein, Phillips and McGill. ‘When the company had assembled, Cor- poral Tarner, on behalf of the board of governors, invited them to repair to the supper room, assuring them that they would be much better fitted to enjoy the talks and cigars after they had supplied the wants of the inner man. In the sup- per room were long tables loaded with sub- stantials and delicacies, which were thor- oughly appreciated. Afterward the mem- bers and their guests reassembled in the reception room, where Corporal Tanner acted as toastmaster. After some very en- tertaining remarks in his happiest manner, he called forth informal speeches from such well-known Washingtonians as L. T. Michener, 8. Parker, J. Nota McGill, Dr. P. Fardon, 8. R. Ireland, J. S. At- T. 8. Hopkins, Mr. Curtis and John Joy Edson, Mr. Edson, in his remarks, gave a brief history of the club, and pre- dicted for it a most successful future.

There was a slight return of the Burst of Energy at the pest office site today, and fifty-two men were employed. The reason was that work was resumed on the iron handling, and several beams were set in the space around the central tower. These men have within them the possibility to finish the building by the 23d of August, 1897, according to the lavish estimates of The Star made at the beginning of the scrutiny that has been made of the work. But this is too absurdly generous to be worth more than passing consideration. William Fielding, the mortar mixer who fell yesterday morning and fractured his skull, as told in The Star of last evening, died at the Emergency. Hospital at 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon. His death has cast a gloom over the building, as he was one of the most intelligent and popular workmen employed there. He was a sober, indus- trious man, and great sympathy is felt for his Wife and family of foyr small children, who ere left without a bread winner by this sad accident. This is the third fatal casualty at the site within two months. One man, who had received severe injuries in the Chilean riot while a sailor on the U. 8. S. Balti- more, fell a short distance and died from the shock. Another man who had just come from Chicago to work on the stone setting was crushed under a massive gran- ite blcck that fell when the steel dog on the engine ratchet broke. Fielding is the third victim, pote Reger crs Dr. R. C_ Flower. Owing to unavoidable detention in Chi- cago, the causes of which our readers have no doubt read about in the daily papers, Dr. R. C. Flower will be unable to be in Washington, at the Riggs House, Satur- day, December 8 as was his intention. He will visit both Washington and Richmond some time in the near future, to accommo- date his many friends and patrons in this section of our country. 5-1b. tox Matchless Cream, Butter, $1.60. D. Wm.
