It Will Be the Basis of the Work of the Conference at St. Louis. CHICAGO, December 27.—In the opinion of the chiefs of the people’s party of Chi- cago, Judge Lyman Trumbull has given to his countrymen a paper that will have as much to do with perpetuating his name as will the historic thirteenth amendment to the federal Constitution, which he drafted more than @ quarter of a ceytury ago. It is a declaration of principles for the gu‘d- ance of the people's party of the United States, and consists of a series of resolu- tions which are to be made the busis of the work of the national people’s party conference at Bt. Louis. The paper, as it will go before the St. Louts convention, is as follows: 1. Resolved, That human brotherhood and equality of rights are cardinal princi- ples of true lemocracy. 2. Resolved, That, forgetting all past po- Htical differences, we unite in the common purpese to rescue the government from the centrol of monopolists and concentrated wealth; to limit their powers of perpetua- tion by curtailing their privileges, and to secure the rights of free speech, a free press, free labor and trial by jury—all rules, regulations and judicial dicta in derogation of either of which are arbi- trary, unconstitutional and not to be tol- erated by a free people. 8. We indorse the resolution adopted by the national republican convention of 1860, which was incorporated by President Lin- coln in his Inaugural address, as follows “That the maintenance invtolate of the rights of the states, and especially of the rights of each state to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgment, exclustvely, is essential to that balance of power on which the per- fection and endurance of our political fab- ric depends, and we denounce the lawless imvasion by armed force on the soll of any state or territery, no matter under what pretext, as among the gravest of crimes.” 4. Resolved, That the power given Con- gress by the Constitution “to provide for cailing forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union to suppress insurrections, to repel invasions,” does not warrant the gov- ernment in making use of a standing army in aiding monopolies in the oppression of their employes. When free men unshicld the sword it should be to strike for Hberty, not for despotism or to uphold privileged monopolies in the oppression of the poor. 5. Resolved, That to check the rapid ab- sorption of the wealth of the country and its perpetuation in a few hands we demand the enactment of laws lmiting the amount of property to be acquired by device or in- heritance. 6. Resolved, That we denounce tho issu- ing of interest-bearing bonds by the gov- ernment in times of peace, to be paid for in part at least by gold drawn from the treasury, which results in the government's Paying interest on its own money. 7. Resolved, That we demand that Con- gress perform its constitutional duty to coin money, regulate the value thereof and of foreign coin by the enactment of laws for the free coinage of silver with that of gold at the ratio of 16 to 1. 8. Resolved, That monopolies affecting the public interests should be owned and operated by the government in the in- terests of the people; all employes of the same to be governed by civil service rules, and no one to be employed or displaced on account of politics. 9. Resolved, We inscribe our banners, “Down with monopolies’ and millionaires’ control. Up with rights of man and the masses,” and under this banner we march to the polls and to victory. —— FIERCE FIRE AT ATLANTA. The Old Capital Building Damaged to the Extent of 890,000. ATLANTA, Ga., December 27.—The old capital building, formerly the seat of the state government, but now owned by Ven- ble Bros. and used as an office building, at the corner of Marietta and Forsythe streets, was visited by a disastrous fire at 8 o'clock this morning. The total loss will reach $90,000—-$40,000 on the building, fully insured; Masonic lodges, $10,000; Tripod Paint Company, $15,000; Jacobs pharmacy, $15,000 to $25,000; Kellam & Moore, opti- cians, $3,000; miscellaneous, $5,000. All the losses are fully covered except that of the Masons, who carried only $3,000, The building is historic. It was purchas- ed by the state under the reconstruction regime for $400,000. When the new million- dollar capitol was built it was sold to Venable Bros. for $125,000. The firemen found the structure flooded with gas. The origin of the flames is thought to be incendiary. The firemen fought a desperate fight with the obstacles of a high wind and the water freezirg when it fell without the reach of the intense heat. The fire was un- der control at 5 o'clock. Lowest Prices Ever Known. CLEVELAND, Ohio, December 27.—The Iron Trade Review will say this week: The last week of 1894 is probably the least eventful in the year, in iron and steel. It ends a year of which no high expectations were indulged at the opening; and while the volume of business has been larger in the latter half than was looked for, the last month has brought the lowest prices of the year and the lowest ever known. aces Coxey and Browne at St. Louis. ST. LOUIS, Mo., December 27.—The ob- Ject of “Marshal” Browne and J. S. Coxey in coming here to attend the meeting of the national executive committee of the people's party is to endeavor to secure recognition from the party of their bill for the coinage of money and to secure passage of a resoution favoring Coxey’s non-interest bearing bonds plan, which has been framed for @ bill and introduced in the House. ———__ Petard Exploded in Rome. ROME, December 27.—Shortly after 11 o’clock last night a petard was exploded close to the Palazzo Piombino. The United States embassy was not damaged. SPECIAL NOTICES. Punch For New Year’s.

A Banquet and a Reception to Be Held Tonight—Officers Elected and Committees Appointed. It was nearly 11 o'clock today before the Sigma Alpha Epsilon conventian assembled for business, The session last night was prolonged until a late hour by the discus- sion over the changes in the constitution and the men were inclined to make up for lost sleep this morning. The convention immediately went into executive session and resumed consideration of the constitu- tion, : It is considered probable that the greater part of today will be consumed in this manner, and when the new constitution is adopted the reports of the various officers for the last year will be presented in order. This evening the delegates will attend the concert of the Cornell Glee Club, and at 10:30 o'clock tonight will return to the Ebbitt House and sit down to the annual banquet.

Mr. Thurston, the Hawaiian minister to the United States, has written from Lishon to Mr. Hestings, the charge d'affaires, to the effect that his trip to Spain 1s proving entirely satisfactory. The minister has visited many European countries for the purpose of inducing them to renew their treaties of commerce and amity with the new republic of the Pacific. He has also sought to make arrangements for imraigra- ticn to Hawaii of the better classes of la- borers. While he gives no exact detalls, the tenor of his letters Indicates success. He will return to Washington about Jan-. uary 15. +2 +—______ Logging Allowe: The Indians cf the White Earth and Red Lake reservatiors in Minnesota have been granted permission by the President, upon the advice of the Secretary of the Interior, to engage in logging and the sale of certain timber. The recent forest fires killed be- tween 25,000,000 and 80,000,000 feet of tim- ber, which would have been lost to the Indians but for the permission given them to cut and sell it. ee Ae Chance for American Lumber. United States Consul Kirk, at Copenha- gen, in a report to the State Department calls attention to the fine opportunity for the development of the American lumber business afforded by the opening of the free port of Denmark. The lumber can be stored without payment of duty until sold for use in Denmark. American white oak is very popular, and there is also a good market for poplar, walnut and pitch pine. All of the lumber exported to Denmark should be well seasoned. THE CLOSING SESSION Papers Read Today Before the Jewish His- torical. Society. Interesting Contributions to History— 4 Committee on Publication Ap- pointed—Hebrews as Soldiers. ‘The concluding session of the third an- nual meeting of the Jewish Historical Society was held at the Arlington Hotel this morning. The atténdance was small, @ majority of the members having left the city. President Strauss remarked that the audience was not measured by the num- ber present, but by the readers of the publications of the society. The first busi- ness was the announcement of the ap- pointment of the publication committee as fcllows: Dr. Cyrus Adler, Washington, D. C.; Mendes Cohen, Baltimore; Prof. Chas. Gross, Harvard; Prof. Morris Jastrow, University of Pennsylvania. This selection gave complete satisfaction. On motion, a vote of thanks was given the proprietor of the Arlington Hotel for the courtesies which he had shown the so- ciety. Philadelphia was without discus- sion chosen as the place of next meeting. The secretary announced that Mr. Lazarus Strauss of New York, father to the presi- dent of the society, had donated the sum of $00 to be expended by the society in historical research. Mr. Lewis Abrahams of Washington read the first paper of the session, on “Addresses of the Jews of the United States to Washington and his re- plies thereto, and the story of the statue ot Thomas Jefferson in the Capitel.” It was an interesting paper, full of rich his- torical data. At its close Mr. Abrahams was warmly congratulated. Mr. Simon Woif stated that he had re- ceived much valuable aidefrom Mr. Abra- hans in the preparation of his forthcoming beok. Dr. Adier, the secretary, read che remaining papers by caption. These were: Dr. Cyrus Adler, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, “A Trial by the Inquisition in Mexico; Rev. Henry Cohen, Galvesto: Tex., “Some Notes on the Jews in T. Mr. Albion M. Dyer, New York, Chapters ‘of New York Jewish History; Mr. Jacob Ezekiel, Cincinnati, Ohio, “The Jews of Richmon Dr. J. H. Hollander, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md., ‘Some Further References Relating to Hyam Salomon;” Mr. George W. Hufnag®, New Hope, Bucks county, Pa, “A Few Extracts From the Life and Revolutionary Services of Col. Isaac Franks; Max J. Kohler, esq., New York, “Phases of Jew- ish Life in New York Before 1800;" LI, “Incidents Ilustrative of American Jewish Patriotism;” Mr. George A. Kohut, New York, “Some Notes on the Jews of Georgia and South Carolina,” “Isaac de Castro Tortas and Joseph Antonio de Silva—two South American Martyrs.” Dr. Adicr announced that this ended the lst of papers which had been submitted. He urged that the proceedings of the so- clety should appear not later than May 1. Prestdent Strauss, in closing the session, said that the society had made remarkable progress in the collection of historical data. Contrary to the implication of its title, the society was not sectarian, but merely spe- clalized a section of American history. A large number of other historical associa- tions had of late become affiliated with them. He then anneunced that the third annual meeting stood adjourned. Yesterday's Papers. At the session yesterday, after The Star's report closed, end following the annual address of President Strauss, came a lengthy paper by Simon Wolf on “The Jew as a Soldier.” In this paper, which fol- lowed the lines of his recent book, Mr. Wolf told of the valor of the Jewish sol- diere who fought in the armies of the north and south during the late war. He refuted the charge made some time ago in the North American Review to the effect that no Jewish names were to be found on the rolls of the Union army, and that the Jewish race had not borne its just share in that great conflict. Mr. Wolf said that at the time of the war this country had a Jewish population of 150,000, and that the percentage of Jewish soldiers to Jew- ish population was higher than the per- centage of any other race. He had been able to identify as Jews, 243 soldiers. Of these, 316 were killed, 336’ wounded, 53 taken prisoners and 17'dicd in military prisons. Dr. Kayserling of Buda Pesth furnished the next paper. Its title wa “The Earliest Jewish’ Rabbis and Authors in America.” Dr. Cyrus Adler, secretary to the society, who had translated this pa- per, read it. It told of the Jewish settlers in South America during the Dutch oc- cupation of Brazil. The Jews fought with the Dutch against the Spaniards, and distinguished them- selves for bravery. They were scattered by the expulsion of the Dutch. ‘A paper by Dr. B. Felsenthal of Chi- cago was read by Prof. Gotthell on “Ad- ditional Notes Concerning the Jews in Curinam.” Dr, Herbert Friedenwald of Philadelphia followed with a paper on “The Jews of Jamaica.” “Phases of Jewish Life in New York Be- fore 1800," was the title of an_ interesting paper by Max Kohler of New York. —— THE COURTS.

Pathetic Instances of Misspent Lives, Cold and Hunger—One Man Snored —The Sentences, The stormy weather last night had a de- cided effect on the local lawbreakers, and the hardest work the police had to do was to keep out of the rain and snow as much as they could, and not do anything to lay themselves liable to the rules of the depart- ment. Night Inspector Pearson was out, as usual, and the officers know that he never seeks shelter because of unpleasant weath- er, and on his account they could not re- main in one place very long, but, like the tramps, they had to keep moving. As the lawbreakers reniained under cover the policemen who seldom miss a day in court experienced a break in their records, although some of the officers made a raid on the lodging rooms, and the result was that there were twenty-one prisoners in court this morning, a large majority of whom are non-residents. Judge Kimball was on hand to hear the cases, but the rough weather had prevented the attendance of so many alleged lawyers, and the tramps had to do the best they could without the aid of a legal adviser, being less fortunate than the advance guard of Coxey’s army, to whom a number of legal lights tendered their services. ‘There were eight men in the first batch of alleged tramps brought before the court, and only one of them belonged here. “These men,” said the police of the ninth precinct, “came to the station last night and wanted lodging. Some of them had been in the station before and some had been in other stations or at the lodging house.” A Little Christmas. Patrick Mahoney, a man with only one eye, promptly told the court that he lives in this city. “But last night,” he said, “I had a little Christmas in me and did not want to go home and wake up the folks.” “He's a stone cutter by trade,” said Po- liceman Browne, “but 1 think he has not worked at his trade for some months, He has been working about a saloon on Hi street northéast.” “The next time you are out late,” sald the court, “you had better go hom He was released on his owa recogni- zance. ‘The court then heard the statements of the others. ‘These men told of their tray- els from place to place, some of them look+ ing for work. Others had nothing to say. Michael Welsh, George Smith and S. W. Anderson were released on their personal bonds because they promised to leave the city before sundown. The other prisoners, names as James Dillon, who gave their George Brown, James Rankin and Carl Peterson, were sent down for ten days. Wasn't a Vag. “I'm guilty of being drunk,” was the plea of a little Scotchman, whose name was given as Abraham Collins. “Hut,” sald the bailiff, “your are charged igrancy. Are you guilty or not agrancy?” asked the prisoner. Then I ain't guilty, I was drunk, but T ain't ne vag.” “This man has been loafing about the cheap boardirg houses near the Capitol for several days,” said Policeman Brady, “and I've seen him drunk and begging on Pennsylvania avenue. He was on the ave- nue Christmas night, and last night he was thrown out of Hayes’ saloon. He grabbed a man by the arm last night and asked Lim for monzy, and when the man refused, ho struck at him.” “The 'policeman’s mistaken,” said the Scotchman, “and he never seen me on Christmas ‘night.” “Where are you from?” the court asked the prisoner. “I'm a bollermaker by trade,” he an- swered, “and I came here from Newport News.” “Two days ago.” Judge Kimball told the prisoner that he could not cunduct himself-in this man- ner while he remained here, and asked him how he got bis face bruised. “Well, judge, sir,” the prisoner answer- ed, “I had on a pretty good jag of beer last night and fell on the pavement.” Ten days. Had Nothing. A tall colored man, who was sadly in need of shoes and clothing, stood at the bar of justice, and was asked, “Are you guilty or not guilty?” after the clerk had read a charge of vagrancy to him. “I am guilty,” was the response of the man, who is homeless. His name was given as William Rabb. Policeman Brady of the sixth precinct ared as the prosecuting witness in the se, and Informed the court of the facts. “Rabb,” he said, “has been loitering at the Baltimore and Ohio depot for several days. He leaves there in the evening, but sally appears early in the mornin, “Does he go there to warm himself?” the court inquired. “Yes, your honor,” the officer answered; “and this morning, when he appeared, he took off his shoes and made himself at home.” “What are you doing here?” the judge wanted to know. “I lived here two years ago,” prisoner's respons was the “Then you have no hom No, sir.”” “No, sir.” “Any money?” “Not a cent.” He was sent down for thirty days, He Snored. Alexander De Long and George Madara, roomers in Frank Delana’s boarding house, in Arthur place, had some words last night, and they went outside to settle their trouble, Madara, it appears, is a sound sleeper, but his loud snc.ing interferes with the sleep of De Long. “Just because I snore,” said Madara, “De Long is down on me.” “He was drunk last night,” said De Long, “and that was what caused the trouble.” De Long knocked his room mate down when they got cn the street, and Madara used profanity all the way to the station. The court fined Madara $10 for his bad conduct and De Long was taxed a V. While this case was being heard the bailiff found it necessary to call, “Take off your hat.” This command was given to an intoxicated man, who stood in the far cor- ner of the room. This man evidently thought the court was the proper place for him, and a second time he had to be told to remove his hat. He complained that no one would help him to put on his coat, and as he moved toward the door he remarked: “As there's no charge against me, I guess I'll go home.” Wanted Money. James Ryan, a young man who was un- der the influence of liquor yesterday, visit- ed the Center market and begged for money. “I must have money or I'll have to get arrested,” he said. He got arrested, and now he will spend a month on the farm. Patrick Malone, a tall man, with bushy hair, was described to the court as a vagrant of the worst kind. He sleeps in haystacks about Soldiers’ Hame, and begs for what he gets to eat. “And he is very choice in his food,” said an officer. “If the food given him does not suit, he throws {tt away and becomes abusive and threatening.” “I'm entitled to a place in Soldiers’ Home,” said the prisoner. “Washington is my home; the government told me so years ego.” “Ts that all you have to say?” “That's enough.” “Thirty day Ex-Policeman William Sanford plead guilty to a charge of habitual drunkenness and was sent down for two weeks. Patrick Dempsey was drunk last night, and he stopped four persons on the avenue. This morning he did not recollect what he did. “This begging on the street has got to be stopped,” said the judge. “You may have thirty days.” | that the overflow of dirt from the carts has INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS, ACCOUNTANTS AMUSEMENTS ATLORNEYS ..

Ulrich Kennedy of 008 14th street northwest has requested the Commissioners to instruct the overseer of roads and streets above Boundary to have California avenue placed in proper condition. In his letter Mr. Kennedy says that during the re cent grading of Connecticut avenue be- tween Boundary and California avenue, Washington Heights, most of the hauling wes done through California avenue, and placed this street in a most deplorable con- dition, and after each rain it is a mud hole. ‘This is a macadamized street, and previous to this was in a passable condition. The matter has been referred to the engineer department for investigation and report. Wants a Change. ~~ William H. Beck, in a letter to the Com- missioners today, suggests a kind of circle or ornamentation specially suited to the hillside location of the circle required by act of August 5, 1892, at 16th and Morris streets. Mr. Beck has in mind a fountain water fall like the Trocadero or the one at Marseilles, the water falling over marine or mythical forms on its way to the lower levels of the circle, the whole to be sur- mounted by some ideal statue like the “Bavaria” in Munich. This can be so built, according to Mr. Beck, on that spot as to be vieible from most of the northwest quar- ter of the city, whereas a circle at 16th street and Superior avenue would be hid FINANCIAL.

Twelfth street southeast, from Lincoln Park to E street, has been torn up for nearly three months, according to J. R. Matthews, who has addressed a communi- cation to the Commissioners in relation to the matter. Such work as has been done has only reached a point about midway be- tween b and C streets, he says, and it is snameful the way in which the work ts dragged along, keeping the neighborhood swimming in mud and slime. Mr, Mat- thews also makes a personal complaint against dumping dirt in the rear of St. Cyprian’s Chucch, with which he is con- nected. Wants to Put Up a Sign. Thomas £. Ogram of 1211 Pennsylvania avenue northwest today asked the Com- missioners for permission to place a wood casing around the tree in front of his store et the above number, for the purpose of having lettered on it, “Branch Post Of- fice, Station W.” The casing is to be the same as the two on Pennsylvania avenue at 6th street, in front of the Atlantic Coast Line building No other advertisements will be displayed. Wants the Money. John B. Wight today asked the Com- missioners to request the Secretary of the Treasury to cause a warrant of $2,500 to be issued in favor of the treasurer of the United States, to be deposited to Mr. Wight's credit as treasurer of the Central Dispensary and Emergency Hospital, on account of the appropriation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895. The Mt. Plea hool Blackboard: The Mount Pleasant Citizens’ Associa- tion, through a committee comprising Mr. Chapin Brown, chairman, and Messrs. Ar- thur H. Baker, A. B. Chatfield, Charles R. Wright and Joseph L. Atkins, has recom- merded to the Commissioners to place in the new school building now in course of erection at Mount Pleasant the Olmsted artificial stone blackboards in place of the black plaster provided for in the specifica- tions. It is understood, says the associa- tion, that the black plaster used for black- boards in the school rooms is provided free of ary additional cost and that the Olmsted Mackboards will necessitate an additional cost of about $450 for all of the school rooms in the building, but the Olm- sted blackboard is so very much superior to any other blackboard that the citizens of Mount Pleasant, who will patronize the school, are very anxious that these black- boards should ‘be placed in the building. It ts further presented that the boards in question ure guaranteed for ten years, whereas the old style require repairing Y year or oftener. There ts very little dust arising from the use of these new blackboarés, as compared with the old style, now in use in the schools. The as- sociation is informed that there is quite a large fund yet unexpended for the fur- nishing of this school house, and it is re- spectfully asked that the new biack- boards may be put in and the cost taken out of the fund yet remaining for furnish- ing the school house. Bids Opened. Bids were opened by the Commissioners today for building the northern section of Rock creek intercepting sewer. The bid- ders were B. J. Coyle, R. H. Lamb, An- drew Gleason, E. G.

BU! 1807 F a —— CHING QUICKLY FOLLOWED. LYN Murder of an Old Man in Missin by Burglars. News of the murder of an old man, fol- lowed by a double lynching, comes from Winston county, Miss, Jake Copp, sevanty- five years old, a highly respected citizen, together with his aged wife, lived near Perkinsville, a small village, where they conducted a country mercantile store. At 12 o'clock Saturday night two shots were fired through the windows of the house in which Copp and his wife were sleeping, in- stantly killing the old man. The murderers then pillaged the stor’ and attempted to burn it and the residence. Indignant neigh- bors were soon in search of the guilty parties. Suspicion pointed to a negro named Dan McDonald and a half-breed Indian named Will Carter, who previously boasted of having slain two negroes and an Indian woman. lefore the posse reached Mo- Donaid’s house they were joined by Carter, who, by his overzealous efforts to implicate McDonald, sealed his own fate. McDonald attempted to escape when he espied the armed men, but was riddled with bullet The half-breed was taken to the swamp and hanged. The stolen plun- der was found in the dead negro’s ho and his wife admi(ted that McDonald Carter killed Copp. —_—_—_+e+_—___—_ FOR ELECTION FRAUDS. A Large Datch of Indictments Re- turned at St. Louis. The St. Louis grand jury yesterday made its final report to Judge Edmunds of the criminal court. The report is, in its rela- tion to the recent election, of a sensational character. In the batch of 173 true bills returned over fifty are for election crimes, and included in these are indictments charging Sheriff-elect Henry Troll and his son Charlies, who is a deputy in Collector Zeigenham's office, with bribery. Among the Indicted are John Clifford, Anthony C. Walsh, Thomas Mahone, Will- jam Cronin, Thomas Murphy and George T. Murphy, police officers, who are charged with oppression in office at the last elec- tion. Many of those indicted have been arrest- ed and released on bonds, and others are yet to be taken into custody. Sheriff-elect Troll gave bond in the sum of $500 to ap- pear and answer the charge against him. Mr. Troll refuses to discuss the Indict- ments further than to say that when the case comes to trial he will not have any trouble showing that he, as well as his son, are innocent. It is stated that other indictments have been withheld from publication in order to enable the authorities to make the arrests on bench warrant: It ts rumored that rominent politicians are among the num- ber, the publication of whose names will cause @ sensation,
