RIED TESTIMONY. - v An Assortment Given in a Water Waste Case. There was a serious charge made against Water Inspector Barton in the Police Court today, but when all the proof had been heard the court sustained the officer and imposed a penalty. The inspector had a complaint against John Ball. His com- plaint was that the defendant wasted what is called Potomac water, paying no refer- ence to the quality of the mud in the liquid. “I went to the house the other day,” said nen inspector, “and found the water run- nin Mr. Ball went on the stand and admitted that he was not at home when the in. spector called. “But,” he said, “my wife was there, and I have other witnesses.” Louisa Banens was first called. She en- tered the witness stand carrying in her arms an infant, and when asked what she knew of the case replied, “I know that the inspector turned on the water himself.” “How do you know it?” “Because I was in my yard when he came there, and after leaving Mr. Ball’s he came to my premises.” “Step aside; next.” Frances Cooper, an elderly woman, whose hearing is far from being perfect, stepped to the witness box, and efter Bailiff Cole had expended some of his lung power she gave her testimony. “The water was not running,” she said, “and if he says so he's a liar.” “You must not use such language in this court,” Judge Kimball had the bailiff tell er. ery well,” said the almost deaf woman; “but it’s the truth.” Inspector Barton repeated that he found the water running and said that what the women had said was not true. “There's no pleasure to me in bringing these cases into court,” he concuded. The court imposed a fine of $5, which was paid. — TAYLOR CONVICTED AGAIN. Judge Miller Suggests That He May Be a Kleptomaniace. Lawrence Milton Boyer and Robert W. Taylor, brothers-in-law, who were arrested in Anacostia several weeks ago, were in the Police Court Saturday afternoon, charged in two informations with larceny. It was charged that they stole a dictionary from Charles Callahan's place of busl- ness in Northeast Washington, and one from T. W. Fowler’s office, at 91 F street. were found in a house on This: house was rent- The dictionarie: H street northea: ed by Taylor, that Boyer with the elleged th or anything to do with the renting of the H street house. ‘Taylor went on the stand and said that he bought the dictionary {identified by Mr. Fowler. He purchased it from a man on the street and paid him 65 cents for it. So far as Mr. Callahan’s book was concerned, he said, he had never seen it until it was recovered in his house, and how it got there he did not know. Defendant Beyer made a statement in hig own behalf denying any knowledge whatever of the transaction concerning the books. Ju ze Miller acquitted Boyer of the last charge against him and held Taylor guilty and continued them for sen- eld:ng Taylor, Judge Miller told tomaniac. him he thought he was a k Taylor sa:d that if he was a r any kind he ought to be sent to the asyli d Judge Miller said that if the upper court sends Taylor to the peni- tentiary he will suspend sentence in these cases. ———— Handsomely Treated. The Weshington delegation to the great international conference of the Epworth League were more than pleased with their trip to the south land. The citizens of Chattanooga outdid the proverbial southern hospitalit; Prof. C. Lacey Sites was the guest of Lawyer Frazier, at his beautiful residence on Oak street. Di: t President W. B. Mathews, District Secretary F. T, Israel and Robt. I. Carr, president of Douglas Chapter, Epworth’ League, were royally entertained-by City Treasurer Van Dyke. The other members of the delegation fared equally as well, some stopping with rela- tives or personal friends. The conference’ just closed is without doubt the greatest and most enthusiastic gathering of Methodists ever held. IN LABOR CIRCLES A Mass Meeting to Discuss Debs’ Impris- sonment. General Master Workman Sovereign Hard at Work—Mr. Martin Re- turns From the West. A mass meeting under the auspices of the Federation of Labor is to be held to- morrow night at Plasterers’ Hall for the purpose of giving expression to the views of members of organized labor in reference to the imprisonment of Eugene V. Debs, An effort will be made to have this consti- tute the initial of an agitation which shall result in securing the passage by the next Congress of a law defining the rights of workingmen and abolishing government by injunction. Prominent members of the federation here say they think that organ- ized labor located at the national capital should sound the keynote of the legislation which it is proposed to ask for by giving expression to its honest convictions. General Master Workman James R. Sov- ereign of the Knights of Labor, who, as stated in Saturday's Star, reached this city that morning, was again at the K. of L. headquarters today, where he was seen by @ representative of The Star. Mr. Sover- eign said he had received an invitation to attend the Debs meeting to be held in Washington tomorrow night, and if he is in the city he will probably attend it, but it is more than likely he will find it neces- ee to leave for New York in the mean- ime. - Mr. Sovereign still seems very much fatigued, but he was today up to his eyes in business, and when a Star reporter saw him was engaged in dictating replies to a great mass of correspondence, which had accumulated and awaited disposition. Mr. Martin Returns. Mr. Henry B. Martin, a member of the executive board of the K. of L., and who has general charge of the publication of the official journal of the order, reached Washington today from a brief visit to his family in Minneapolis, Minn. While en rcute to his home Mr. Martin went to Evansville, Ind., where he assisted in re- crganizing National Trades Assembly, No. 135, Knights of Labor, assemblies of coal miners, in pursuance of a call issued by the general executive board on the order of the gencral assembly of New Orleans, Mr. Martin said today that there were Present at the Evansville meeting a thor- cughly representative body of delegates, who came from the principal coal mining centers, and the sentiment was unanimous yand enthusiastic for standing by the Knights of Labor, plain and straight, with- out any side shows attached, such as had virtually ruined the United Mine Workers’ crganization, and made it a mere cat’s-paw for a few designing men. “The feeling of all the delegates,” said Mr. Martijn, “‘and of the eighty local us- semblies represented, was that the United Mine Workers of America was a thing of the past, so far as any usefulness or pro- tection to the working miners of the United States was concerned, and that the only hope of the rank and file of the 400,- 000 coal miners for the defense of their in- dustrial freedom and the securing of a Gecent return for their work lay in or- ganizing under the banner of the Knights of Labor.” In the West. Speaking of another phase of his trip, Mr. Martin said: “I found that between New York and the Misssissippi river times have improved recently, but that west of the river the laboring people are still hay- ing a very tough time to get along. In Minneapolis, for instance, where there is a great lumber trade, the lumbermen have put down the wages of their workmen, but have put up the price of lumber. In Min- nesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska and the two Dakotas, in all of which the K. of L. is very strong, the members are taking a great interest in politics, and are really talking more about parties than they are about the industrial trades. The great majority of our members are in sympathy wkh the populist party, and would vote for the candidate of that party if there was to be an election held this fall, but as this is an off year in poiftics in most of the states named the influence of the K. of L. there will not be felt so perceptibly as it would be were it otherwise the case. “In reference to the moncy question, it should be remembered,” said Mr. Martin, “that the K. of L. in’ the west not only went more silver, but they also want an additional issue of United States treasury notes, which is the best money in the world.” ee HAMLINE CHURCH ANNIVERSARY. Organized Thirty Yenrs Ago and More Vigorous Than Ever. Organized just after the stirring times of the civil war, Hamline M. E. Church yes- terday celebrated its thirtieth anniversary. Special interest was manifested in the ser- vices, and the church was crowded at every meeting. The anniversary of the Sunday school was celebrated by services held in the morning, in which several of the for- mer superintendents took active part. This school has an attendance roll of seventy- eight officers and 760 scholars. Mr. John H. Benton read a report of the founding of the Sunday school, which was listened to with the greatest interest by the scholars, and Mr. John D. Croissant, another of the early superintendents, referred to the rapid growth of the schook At the morning church service Rey. Austin M. Courtenay of Allegheny, Pa., preached from the text, “Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church.” His sermon was an eloquent discourse upon the growth and mission of the church, and he expressed the belief that the church of the future vould be characterized by its simplicity, its catholicity and its practical philanthro- Py: In the afternoon Rey. Luther B. Wilson presided at the love feast, which was fol- lowed by a song and praise service. The Epworth League held its praise meeting at 7 o'clock. In the evening the pastor of the church, Rev. E. 8. Todd, delivered an historical address, reviewing the organiza- tion of the church in Union League Hall on 9th street near E in July, 1865, and giving the statistics of the present mem- bership.
