Action Taken at a Meeting Held Last Night—A Protective Associa- tion Formed. A meeting of the colored owners of sites and lots at Graceland cemetery was held at the Nineteenth Street Raptist Church last night, and action was taken, which, it is understood, will result in an application to the courts for an injunction to restrain the officials of the Graceland Cemetery Asso- ciation from the further exhuming of bedies from the cemetery grounds. The meeting, which was a large one, was or- ganized by the selection of Mr. H. A. Davis as president and W. P. Hall as secretary. The president designated Lawyer J. H. Smith to state to the audience the object of the mecting. Mr. Smith, in the course of his remarks, said that he believed that the bill passed by Congress was inspired by the incorpor- ators and stockholders of the Graceland cemetery, because they had found that a cemetery wherein colored and white could be buried side by side was less profitable, from a money standpoint, than it would be if the cemetery was subdivided into build- ing lots and sold off, and for that reason only the bill passed. He asserted that the Graceland people were exercising extraordinary haste in the removal of the dead. He further claimed that while the law provided that the bodies interred in Graceland should be removed to some suitable public cemetery or ceme- teries in the District of Columbia, the Graceland people, or a large number of stockholders of Graceland, purchased a tract of land over at Benning, “subsequent to the passage of this law of Congress,” which, they claim, is a suitable place to which to remove these bodies, though the ground is uninclosed and unimproved, and at the time of its purchase, within the past few montks,was a forest and truck garden. He was followed by the Rev. W. A. Shields, Mr. Arthur Simmons, W. P. Hall and others, who argued that some action should be taken immediately to secure to the lot owners their rights. A Permarent Organization. It was decided to form a permanent or- ganization. Dr. John R. Frances was chosen president of the association, which is to be known as a protective association of the lot and site owners of Graceland cemetery. W. P. Hall was chosen as secre- tary and H. A. Davis as treasurer. A committee appointed to consider a plan to be followed reported that they thought best to delay final action until a subse- quent meeting, but in the meantime lot owners were urged to subscribe at once to a fund to carry the matter into the courts. There were formerly about 2,000 colored peopie buried at Graceland, and many col- ored families own lots there besides. The most prominent colored families have in- terred their dead there. Frederick Doug- lass’ first wife was interred there, and his oldest son, Frederick, nas his burial place there. Counsel will be retained by the lot own- ers to ask for an injunction against the cemetery assoctation. ee Stopped the Horse. What might have been a serious run- away accident occurred this afternoon at ) o'clock on Pennsylvania avenue. It was only averted by the coolness and nerve of one man. A horse attached to one of R. A. Golden's wagons ran down llth street and into the avenue, which was crowded at the time. A number of efforts were made to stop him, but without success. At the corner of 10th street Mr. John A. Walsh, the foreman of No. 9 eng’ company, ran out into the street and dashed for the animal, which was by this time going at full speed and threatening destruction to all the vehicles ahead. Walsh was carried along for some distance, but he finally managed to bring the frightened animal down before any damage had been done. Se Chief Engineer Hine's Will. The will of the late Chief Engineer Rob- ert B. Hine, U. S. navy, dated April 13, 1895, filed today, names the widow of the deceased, Mattie McC. Hine, executrix. She is given the personal estate, save cer- tain secured notes, and to the Rey. Henry Hine of Yorkshire, England, the father of the deceased, £100 are given. The widow is to have a life estate in the real estate, and upon her death it is to pass to the children. Should his children die before their motker the real estate is to be sold and one-third of the proceeds therefrom paid to the deceased's father, and the r @ue equally, divided among the deceased’s brothers and sisters. —_=.__ Charles Malicious Prosecution. John H. Hengst has made George Woods defendant in a suit at law, in which $10,000 damages are claimed because of alleged malicious prosecution. Mr. Hengst alleges that on the 3d of this month the defendant falsely and mali- ciously charged him before Justice of the Peace Best with haying forged his name in certain papers and letters to the Phelps & Bigelow Wind Mill Company of Kala- mazoo, Mich. He was arrested, but the charge, he claims, was dismissed by the Police Court. SS Bonds Issued. The Washington Light Infantry Corps today placed on record a deed of trust on the property known as the Light Infantry Armory, or Allen's Grand Opera House, to secure $40,000 in bonds. ‘The issue consists of thirty bonds of $1,000 each and twenty bonds of #500 each, dated May 1, 1! pay- able in one year, with interest at 7 per cent, semi-annually. The bonds were sued to secure Orren G. Staples mon loaned for the purpose of ‘redeeming an- other series of like amount which matured May 1, 1805. — For Divorce. A petition for divorce from Theopholus R. Brown was filed today by Louisa Brown. She states that they were married here April 1, 1880, and she alleges that her hus- band deserted and abandoned her May 18, 1892. Mrs. Brown also prays for the cus- tody of their nine-year-old son. — To Forecloxe a Mortgage.

ACTION TAKEN BY ORGANIZED LABOR Carpenters’ Appeal for Standard Wages Said to Have Been Ignored. APPEALS TO BISHOP KEANE It was announced last night at meetings held of bodies of organized labor, whose members are identified with the building trades in this city, that all members of the Washington unions employed on carpenter work at the Catholic University buildings were yesterday called off the job, and that as a result war has been declared between that branch, at least, of organized labor and the authorities of the university. It is expected that the trouble will also involve a number of carpenters from Bal- timore, who are employed at the same in- stitation by Otto Duker & Co., and who be- long to Ynion No. 29 of that city, a letter having last night been sent to the Balti- more organization by local Union No. 1%), Brotherhood ef Carpenters and Joiners, stating that the continuance of work by their members under the circumstances which surround the case will be a clear violation of the constitution of the order. The prediction was made last night by members of ‘the building trades that the questions at issue between the union car- penters on the one side and the authorities at the Catholic University on the other will, to a certain extent, become national in their character, as it is the fitention of the members of the local union affected to take their grievances to the highest au- thority In labor matters, laying them first before the Carpenters’ Council, then the Federation of Trades, and lastly, before reaching the power of fina! resort, the Building Trades Council. How the Difficulty Originated. The difficulty of yesterday is stated to have been the outcome of trouble which originated last winter, when it is alleged Superintendent Brady, who, it is sald, was representing Bishop Keane in the matter, reduced the pay of the carpenters from ) for eight hours’ work per day. ned to have given great dissatis- faction to the members of organized labor generally, and a committee was appointed to call on Bishop Keane and ask him to re- voke the orders of Superintendent Brady. There were then, as now, a number of nen-union carpenters from Virginia em- ployed at the university, and these were paid at the rate of $2.50 per day, and were apparently content with that sum. As soon as the attention of Bishop Keane was called to the rule of the union on the subject, and the reasons for the maintenance of that standard of wages explained to him, he, it is said, conceeded their fairness and order- ed that the former rate be restored and paid in the future. According to the union men they waited some time for the bishop's order to be put into effect, but nothing, it is said, was done in the. matter, and a second committee, this time to call on Superintendent Brady, was appointed. The committee waited on Mr. Brady and learned, it is said, to their surprise that the contractor, who had the Virginians in his employ, was, it was true, paying them but per day of eight hours, but that he also had an outside cor tract away from the university,upon which he worked the men until § or 9 o'clock at right, and paid them for their overtime. Another Appea The committee again appealed to Keane, and the latter, it ts said, at o ordered the boss to give up his outside co tract, which the latter did. i the union men were not getting the per day asked for, and a third com- mittee was sent Mr. Brady, and again ask that Keane’s Known wishes in the matter be respected. This time, it is alleged, Mr. Brady said that he would be willing to pay the rate asked by the union men if the names of a few Washington buildet who paid the rate asked for the same number of hours be furnished him, and the committee re- sponded with a Hst of thirty-three firms, all of whom, they asserted, were paying 0 for eight hours’ wor! gain the news of the trouble reached Bishop Keane's e and the bishop, it is said, asked if some’ agre could not be made by which all the and non-union, would r the same pay per day, at the same time expressing his willingness to pay $2. alike. The Men Called of. Notwithstand.ng all these efforts at recon- ciliation the advance in wages, it is clain ed, was not made, the breach grew wider and wider, and last Saturday a committee from the Carpenters’ Union went out to see Mr. Brady and informed him that un- less the pay of §2,80 was granted at once all the union men would be called off im- mediagcly. Some conversation followed between Mr. Brady and several cf the foremen, and one of the latter, representing Otto Duker & Co., said, it is claimed, chat he had written to his principal at Baltimore in regard to the matter, and he thought that the in- crease would be granted by the firm to the union men employed by them. It was then agreed to wait until yesterday, and at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon word was re- ceived from the Baltimore firm declining’to grant the advance, The union men belonging to the Washing ton organizations then at once ceased work. union At the University. Bishop Keane is at Cape May and Dr. Garrigan, his private secretary, to whom a Star reporter applied for information this morning, said that Mr. Brady, the super- inteadent in charge of the work, had all such matters entirely under his own di- rection. Dr. Garrigan added that he d not believe that the bishop had promised the workmen's committee that the $2.80 rate of wages would be restored, as he had from the beginning left all such things to be settled by Mr. Brady, who was a r sponsible man and understood- his business. Mr. Brady said that the delegates had been to see him several times, but that the trouble did not amount to anything serious. When the work was under way at first, he added, the higher rate of wages was paid, but when the work was resumed in Feb- ruary last he asked the men what wages they expected to receive. The carpenters agreed upon $2.50 a day, which is the.Bal- timore rate. Mr. Brady's Statement. t is not true,” continued Mr. Brady, “that the Washington builders are paying $2.80 a day. When the delegates called on me I asked them to furnish me with a list of local employers who were paying the higher rate, and they responded with a list of thirty-three nam I looked into the matter, and at the very start discovered that at least three of the men named were paying only §2.50 a day, and tehn I went no further. I presume the whole list is de- fective. I understand the plan of these men exactly. They want to force the uni- yersity to pay the high rate, and that will be a good card to scatter around. I can assure you that this rate Is as high as a great majority of the carpenters are now getting in the District. There is one job where they are being paid $3, but that is in the construction of a brewery, the pro- prietor of which is afraid of a boycott on beer. You see, they can’t boycott edu- m very well. ‘I have been in the busin for a great many years, and I know these troubles by heart. I am president of the Baltimore Master Builders’ Association, and, as such, have had a great deal of experience in jandling strikes and such matters. I do rot anticipate any real trouble. There is no complaint among the men as far as I can learn, and my foreman here, Mr. Hare, has been among therm to see if they are disgruntled. Last Saturday the delegation came again, and three of the men working for Duker & Co. of Baltimore, subcon- tractors for the carpentry work, quit. One of them came back yesterday, and there are now two men on strike, whose places have been very promptly filled. Those men, J understand, are unmarried, who strike because if they do not they will lose all the money they have put into their union for beneficial purposes. They say it THE OFFIOISL WEATHER MAP.

Doing Extra Work. “One cause for complaint, I understand,” continued Mr. Brady, “is that some of the men under me—I employ about twelve car- penters to do odds and ends about the work—are doing extra work outside, mak- ing overtime. That is something I have | nothing to do with. One of the best work- men on the job came to me a little time ago and asked me if he could accept a chance to do seme work on the stable of a neighbor in the village after the hours here. I told him that he was master of hirself after he had done his duty for me, and that it was a matter with which I had no concern. So he went ahead, and is working an hour or so after dinner, and Is making a little extra money, for which I am very glad, as Z.always like to see a man better himself, Now, I also under- stand that there is one other man doing the same thing, and’I am told that he is the chief kicker who is calling attention to the overtime business. - “It is not true. that I have imported a lot of ron-union mex from Virginia. I employ, as I have sald, about twelve men under my own supervision, to do miscellaneous jobs, end these men may or they may not be members of the union. Some of them, I know, voluntarily rgsigned their membership a long time they could take some work at lower rates than the unicn recognized, that they might keep ilies from starving during the I hever ask a man whether to a union or not. I merely want to employ. g, goud journeyman, and that is my sole consideration. “Now, | tell you another thing. As far as 7 jow rates is concerned, I ations here from men who were members of the unions who offered to go to for $2.a day, and some for $1.75 a day if I would only give them a chance. That has happened several times. I have told all thos® me Fave had appl that I had no for further help, but that if I did hire them I'd pay the full rates, 50. You see, the rate question is not mine, after all, but belongs to Duker & Company, who are the regular emaployers. The men agreed to take that n and I ve heard none of them complain about it yet.” ——— THE COURTS. 9. 1—Chief Justice Bingham. Granite State Provident Association; referen to auditor ordered.

Mr. Pogh Considers His Position Vin- dicated—The Victim Chosen - to Go Down. The sidewalk obstruction cases came up before Judge Kimball this morning for trial. In all eighty-two informations were issued against owners and lessees jointly, the majority of whom are produce dealers along Lovisiana avenue. Attorney James S. Pugh represented the government in the case which was put on trial. Mr. H. F. Wcodward was fetained to represent the Cefendants. It being the intention of the parties in- terested in the outcome of the matter to test the jurisdiction of the Police Court in these cases it was elected to try one of the defendants who was willing “to go down” in case cf a conviction. In that event, Mr. Woodward said, it was the purpose to secure a writ of habeas corpus either from the chief justice of the Su- preme Court of the District or else from the Court of Appeals. In case of convic- tion, Mr. Woodward said, he would ask the judge to allow the defendant to go at literty until he could prepare the writ. As showing how the law works a case was called in the Police Court this morn- ing before the other one came up. It was that of Rudolph Jouvenal, a stonemason near the Capitol grounds, who was charged with obstructing the street with stone from his yard. He had ho lawyer, and did not enter into the “certiorari spirit” which has delayed the other cases so long and given rise to so*much controversy in Pclice Court circles. His trial was a brief one. He was fined $25 and he was placed under bonds to re- move the stone within two weeks, al- theugh he ciaimed that it was almost im- pessible to get it away much inside of a mcnth. The Selected Victim. Then the regular obstruction cases were taken up. John C.Isel of the firm of Bess- ler & Isel was the defendant in the case heard, though Mr. Pugh said that if he was guilty his partner and Mr. C. M. Em- rich, from whom they lease the sidewalk, are equally guilty. . Mr. Woodward announced that all those who are charged, under these informations, with maintaining obstructions had agreed to remove them, commencing tomorrow morning, and proceeding with all possible diligence. With that understanding Mr. Pugh had agreed to continue the other case. In order not to prejudice his case Mr. Wcedward entered a plea of not guilty in the case of Mr. Isel, who keeps a meat stand on the south side of Louisiana ave- nue, at the corner of 9th street. The principal witness in the case was Po- licem Breen, who was put upon the stand to describe the situation as it exists ground that neighborhood. He said that the sidewalk along there is thirty-eight feet wide and one-half of that is occupied by this firm and dthers on the block. Bess- ler & Ise] Kave the sidewalk covered with stands and counters, on which they trans- act a retail meat business. Above it all is an awning of wood and iron, substantiaily constructed. Mr. Emrich testified that this awning was rebuilt a couple of years ago by order of the building inspector. Judge Kimball stated that, in view of the direction the case had taken, the proper thing to do would be to take Mr. Isel’s bonds to appear at some future date for sentence. Mr. Woodward agreed to be ready by tomorrow morning to go on with the writ of habeas corpus. Mr. Isel will then be remanded to the work house pend- ing the application. Mr. Pugh iooks upon this as a vindication of the position he has taken with reference to these cases. He expects to see Louisi- ana avenue all cleared out by the iast of the week. While the court's decision will have the effect of clearing the Louisiana avenne sidewalk, most of the merchants will still Temain in busin there. This, of course, will necessliate alterations in the build- ings and the alterations, it is said, will be made within the time allowed the mer- chants by the court. —-——_-— Ex-President Peixoto Dead. Ex-President Peixoto of Brazil is lead at Divisa, in the province of Minaszeraes, Marshal Ficrino Peixoto was the son of Lieut. Col. Manoel Vierra de Araujo Peix- oto. He was born on April 30, 1830. He was chiefly distinguished for the sup- pression of the revolution which broke out in Brazil in the summer of 1893, After a number of sharp contests in the barbor of Rio de Janeiro, President Peix- cto and his associates succeeded in stamp- ing out the revolt, though desultory fight- ing has kept up on both sides ever since. ‘The revolutionists appear to have been nearly, if not quite, suppressed by the de- feat and the resultant suicide of Da Gama only five days ago. Ex-President Peixoto was succeeded in office by Senor Prudente de Moraes of Sao Paulo. Beecham’s Pills for con- stipation, toc. and 25c¢ Get the book at your drug- gist’s and go by it.
