Lawyer Fountain Peyton, who usually appears in court as counsel for persons ar- rested, appeared in Judge Kimball's court this morning in the role of defendant. Po- iceman McDonnell of the eighth precinct appeared as the prosecuting witness. Riding a bicycle after sundown without a lighted lamp attached was the charge against the r Peyton left his home early in the vita his Jamp trimmed and burn- evening ing and went out to attend to some busi- ness. When he started home his lamp be- came so badly disabled, the result of riding over the rough streets near Florida avenue, that he threw it away. Not wanting to walk home, the lawyer remained on his machine and rode slowly in the direction of his home. Judge Kimball heard the evidence In the case and accepted the lawyer's explanation. —>—_ One Way of Helping the Poor. A correspondent of The Star, writing about the pr 21s made to assist worthy people in need of loans, says: “Educate the poor to cultivate habits of honesty and to carry out their contracts and to remain away from Shylocks if they wish to avoid excessive rates, and not offer to pay more than the legal rates t they may secure a loan. Let those who are compelled to borrow, to tide over 2 tight place, feel that they must act and be honest with the lender, and while they are borrowing carry out a plan that they may save and repay the Acting on the idea that more de by saving than any other way, a company has heen organized in this eity in which each borrower becomes a participant in the profits, thus saving Money while borrowing. He is charged only 6 per cent pee annum, and 4 small commission each mont? and has five months in which to repay the loan. Let the charitable put thet: money in such an institution, upon whica they will recelve good returns, and in this way assist the Poor, but honest, to get accommodations.” — Golden Cross Installation.

CALVIN CHASE'S WORK How He Secured an Indorsement of Mo- Kinley’s Presidential Candidacy. A Meeting That Was Long in Assem- bling, but Was Lively After the Real Business Began. ‘A-meeting was held last evening at the Franklin Street Church for the purpose of marshaling the republican hosts of the District in anticipation of the coming cam- paign. There were only thirty-nine men present, mostly colored, but they made up in the bitterness of debate and the intent to be unparllamentary for all they lacked in numbers. The meeting was called by C. P. Irby and J. W. Pos. Bight o'clock was the hour for the meeting, but even a half hour later there were only about half a dozen men ready to meet. Then appeared a big, open barouche, containing four men. As it drove up to the door, and almost before the oc- cupants had alighted, one of the men asked if the reporters had arrived yet. If not, he let it be inferred that he had no further use for the meeting. Satisfied that what ke might say and do would get publicity the gentleman marched into the hall and at once began an effort to run the meeting. He stated that his party represented the cabinet of the McKinley Tariff League. The president of the league, which is a South Washington organization, said that he had been to the Cleveland convention as a delegate from this city, and that conse- quently he was the only one qualified to Tun the meeting. Was Londed With Credentials. “I have been to the powers that be. and I'm loaded with credentials. You've got to organize under the system of the state triunion or it won't be legal.” This willingness on the part of a man, who had been invited as a fraternal dele- gate, to run the whole shooting match, did not give entire satisfaction. One colored man from the immediate neizhborhood ex- pressed his disapproval of the action of a thief, a lar and a robber in leaving his own political bailiwick and coming into the most peaceable district in the city for the purpose of creating discord and at once settling everything in the interests of (hio's tavorite son. “What'd he call me?” asked the rresi- dent of the McKinley Tariff League of The Star reporter, “He called you a thief, a Har and a rob- ber,” sald the reporter in the hope that this might liven up matters. Things were quiet, and {it looked as though the meet- - might pass off without any trouble at all. “S'that all he said? Tha’s all right. P'litical "menities, you know.' It was hopeless. If it had not been for W. Calvin Chase, editor and politician, it would have been stupid and profitless. Mr. W. Calvin Chase’s Work. A tip was out to the effect that the meet- ing was called to antognize Perry Carson's scheme of going once more as a delegate to the republican national convention. If that was the plan It did not go through. Chase introduced a resolution putting the Meeting down on record as in favor of McKinley. That started the fun.~Chase was given to anderstand that the meeting was not called in the interests of any one, Speeches followed thick as leaves at Vallambrosa. Many of them were made at the same time. An effort was made to lay the resolution on the table. The chairman knew a scheme worth two of that. He put it in a waste basket underneath the table. Chase pulled it out, and, calling for a vote, ot it passed unanimously or nearly so. ‘he meeting then adjourned indefinitely. —_——— ELECTRICAL WORKERS. Movements of Interest in the Local Union. The regular meeting of the Electrical Workers’, Union No. 26, does not take place until tomorrow night, but several import- ant matters have transpired since the last meeting. One of the leading members kas been authorized by the authorities of Gon- zaga College to prepare plans, and has been assured that he shall have the contract for the installation of the electric lighting plant which it is in ed to place in the n hall to be conscructed by the college. fhe plant will be supplied with all the latest improvements and be of sufficient ca- pacity to run 3,250 lights, while it may also be arranged to furnish power and per- haps heat if it shalb later be determined advisable to derive power and heat from electricity, All the work on the plant will be performed by union men whose homes are in this city. At the present time there fs but one thea- ter in Washington—the Academy of Musi where a strictly union electrician is em- ployed, but nego‘iations, which are likely to be successful, are in progress for the addition of three other leading places of amusement to the list when the season opens in the fall. Great interest is being taken by the union electrical workers of Washington in the coming convention of the National Brother- hood of* Electrical Workers at Minneap- olis. The convention will comprise about 400 delegates, repres2nting between 35,000 and 40,000 workers, and they will come from every section of the United States. The reports will, it is expected, show a wonderful advance in every line to which members have devoted their investigation since the last convention. The first con- vention of the brotherhood was held in 1891 at St. Louis, and was composed cf ten delegates. The second also convened at St. Louis, and had a membership of thirty- six delegates. The third was held in 1893 at Cleveland, Ohio, at which there were if delegates. At this meeting it was de- termined to hold biennial conventions in future, and consequently there was no meeting of the national brotherhood held last year. The approaching convention will, as has already been stated, have 400 delegates, all of whom will be the guests of the local union of electrical workers of Minneapolis. The sessions will continue for a week or ten days, during which papers of an interesting and important character on assigned subjects will be road. The present officers of the national broth- erhodd are: H. W. Saerman, Rochester, N. Y., president; vice presidents, J. W. Fitz- patrick, Philadelphia; J. J. Bires, New Or- leans; F. J. Roth, Atchison, Kan.; John Hisserich, St. Louis; C. L. White, Chicago; Dz McCarthy, Boston, and W. C. Stuart, Detroit, Mich.; secretary-treasurer, J. T. Kell Louis. Mr. Kelly is also editor her of the Electrical Worker, the nization. and } official paper of the orga a Flag Raising. This mcrning at 6 o’clcck the members of Andrew Jeckson Council, No. 6, Junior Or- der of American Mechanics, had a flag r ing at their hall, corner of 4% and C streets southwest. Music for the occasion was furnished by Pistorio’s Band, and specches were made by several members of the council. The flag is twenty feet long. eS Eight-Hour Law. The attention of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Hamlin was a day or two since called by a prominent labor leader to the fact that painters who were doing some contract work at the treasury baild- ing were being forced by their employer to work nine nours per day in violation of the eight-hour law. Mr. Hamlin at once gave orders that the overwork must cease and the law be carired out to the let- ter. Excursion Tickets to the Seashore.

Their Trouble Sti}l Bubbling and the End Far Off. The slowly fermenting trouble between the cablemen on the Columbia road and their superintendent, Mr. Boteler, gives no very decided promise of cessation. Mr. Baker, the president of the road, has made careful inquiry among the men for a week or more in order to be able to report to the directors of the company the actual state of things between the men and the super- intendent, and he has learned a great deal of the nature of the many small and seemingly trivial offenses that have been noted against the men. The hearings in this informal way have nct yet been con- cluded, and every man who has a griev- ance will be heard before action is taken. It is expected that a set hearing, when beth sides will be heard in each other's preserce, will be arranged to take place some’ time toward the end of next week. At this hearing the men will be prepared to present their case in full, with affidgvits, if necessary. Mr. Baker says that if It Is a possible thing the matter shall be settled justly and fairly to all concerned. He is ap- parently impressed with the fact that there is more in the matter than was at first thought for, and he is giving a great deal of time and conscientious attention te the complaints of the men. ‘The employes state that the superintend- ent has rot abated his alleged tyranny, and has made the iot of the Columbia con- ductors and gripmen not at all a happy one since the men carried their grievances to the president of the road. Several men have been laid off and made to lose pay for trifling offenses. At the same time it is elleged that the sixteen non-union men on the road are being favored by the superintendent, are not punished for pre- cisely the same offenses committed by the unicn men, and are given promotion in preference to the latter. The men claim that it is the superintendent's intention to drive the union men off the line by his despotic treatment of them, and to em- ploy only non-union employes. The offi- cials of the road disclaim ahy such policy, and say that there is a good deal of ex- aggeration going on. —_—=—__ DISTRICT GOVERNMEN’ The Contagious Hospital Building. The plans for the erection of the con- tagious hospital_on reservation 13 have re- ceived a decided setback in the shape of unsatisfactory bids. Congress appropriated $18,000 for the erection and furnishing of this hospital, and the lowest bid received by the Commissioners leaves only $2,650 with which to erect a disinfecting plant and equip the building. This bid was sub- mitted by C. Thomas & Son, one of the seven competitors, it being $15,341. This bid was for the construction of the main building and two wings, the structure to cover the disinfecting plant and the high masonry wall which is to surround the whole. During the recent smallpox out- break in this city {t became necessary for the health officials to borrow apparatus from the United States government with which to destroy bedding, clothing and other articles which had become infected, and it was the great desire of Health Of- ficer Woodward to have a completely equipped disinfecting plant belonging to the hospital, so as to obviate the necessity of borrowing from the government. As the lowest bid for this plant was $3,000, how- ever, the two bids could not be accepted, as the aggregate um went outside of the ap- propriaticn. The Commissioners, therefore, have not taken any official action on the bids, and will probably advertise further in the hope of getting smaller estimates upon which to base their calculations. The mat- ter will rest, however, until Dr. Woodward returns to the city, but as the hospital must be erected by November 1, there is not much time in which to get other bids, and have the buildings erected within the specitied period. Out of the City.” Commissioners Truesdell and Powell are out of the city, and neither will return un- til Monday. Capt. G. J. Fieberger, Maj. Powell's first assistant, is the acting En- gineer Commissioner. Dr. Wm. Tindall, secretary of the board, ts also out of town, and in his absence Mr. Clifford Howard performs the duty of signing the official mail, Engineers’ Licens: A first-class engineer's license was issued yesterday to Michael I.

A boy giving his name as Charles Kenny, and who has been in trouble before, was in the Police Court toils teday for theft. He called at Smith & Pearson’s drug store end carried off a slot machine, but one of the proprietors captured him before he got around the corner and turned him over to the police. The boy told the judge that he only intended to take the chewing gum from the machine. He was fined $25 or sixty days. —_——_»__ Roping Off the Streets. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In The Star a few days ago a physician stated very clearly his objections to the roping off of th- streets of our city, and gave as his opinion that the “roping off” is oftener done because of a morbid desire for notoriety or. the part of somebody rath- er than for any possible good to be done the invalic. A short time ago the street in front of my house was obstructed for several days because a man had stomach ache from too much Christmas. ‘The question as to how this can best be done has been solved, and is in practical operation on E street ‘between 6th and 7th streets southwest, where two board signs have been erected, about one hundred feet apart, bearing the words, “Sickness—walk your horse: and in making inquiry I was informed that the desired quietness had been secured, and that in no instance had the request for slow driving been disre- garded.

Mr. Jchn Van Ness was received as a licentiate from the presbytery of New Brunswick, N.J., and, applying for ordina- tion, was subjected to the examinations usual in such cas The examination provirg satisfactory, the order was made for his ordination at 8 p.m. A call was presented to the presbytery by the Takoma Park Church for the pas- toral services of Mr. Van Ness, who, sig- nifying his acceptance, the fololwing order was made for his installation at 8 p.m., viz. Rey. Dr. Alexander, to preside; Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis, to preach the ser- mon; Rev. Dr. Bittinger, to deliver the charge to the newly installed pastor, and Rev. Dr. Little, to deliver the charge to the people. After a recess the presbytery reassem- bled, and, according to appointment, sol- emnly set apart Mr. Van Ness to the full work of the Gospel ministry by prayer and the laying on of hands. Afterward he was installed pastor of the church, according to the previous order of the presbytery. Mr. Van Ness is a young man of promise, having just graduated from the College and Theological Seminary of Princeton, and from the many expressions of satis- ction on the part of the people of his rst charge the best hopes are entertained of his success.

Following Astwood’s Example—Chas. L. Barnes Says He Has Been Forced Out of the Party. During the last congressional campaign democratic managers made a bid for the colored vote, and to that end there was established in this city an Afro-American bureau of the national democratic congres- sional committee and the Negro Demo- cratic Club. Robert G. Still of Philadel- phia, who was at that time an applicant for the Liberian mission, was put in charge of the former and Charles L. Barnes of Pennsylvania was ut one time president of the Negro Democratic Club. Barnes then held a clerical position in the pension office. The Negro National Democratic League was presided over by C. H. J. Taylor and H. C. C. Astwood was chairman of the executive committee of the league. The managers of the democratic congressional committee, it is said, promised ®he colored men whom they had put in charge of affairs that as soon as the campaign was ended they should receive tae Liberian mission, a chaplaincy in the army and other positions which were ut the disposal of the President, which had formerly been held by colored republicans. This agree- ment seemed not to have had the sanction of the President, and although the colored democrats whooped up the party to the colored voters throughout the country when the President made the appointments he selected republican negroes for the places. The result was that Mr. Astwood quitted the party because, as was stated at the time, he saw that negro democracy, as at that time constituted, did not stand very high in the esteem of the President. Astwood has recently joined the New York conference of the A. M. E. Church, and has been assigned by one of the bishops of that church to the pastorate of the A. M. E. Church at Harrisburg, Pa., and he has declared that he made a big mistake when he entered politics. The President appoint- ed the Rev. W. H. Heard, a republican, of Pennsylvania, to the Liberian mission. Now R. G. Still of the same state, who ran the Afro-American bureau of the defmo- cratic party during the last campaign, and who was an applicant for the Liberian mission, declares that he {s tired of negro democracy, and is at work in the upper part of Pennsylvania trying to help Mr. Quay capture the chairmanship of the re- publican party in that state. Mr. Barnes Quits the Party. In the libel case of Taylor against Chase, C. L. Barnes, who was the chairman of the Negro Democratic Club, was one of the wit- nesses against Taylor in behalf of Chase, and it is charged now that for this reason Taylor used his influence to have Barnes removed. Barnes was removed, and since that time has been debating whether or not he should imitate Still and Astwood and quit “negro democracy.” The result of his deliberations is a statement which Mr. Barnes gave to a Star reporter today. This statement criticised the democratic party for general reasons, and then gave special reasons why he as a negro has de- cided to quit it. “S6 long,” he says, “as the democratic party continues to be dominated by the rebellious and unrepentant south, just so long will it remain the exponent, representative and party of the slave power. No negro has a respectable stand- ing in such party. Inherently and consti- tutionally it must remain the dire foe to the negro’s progress. Under the present administration we have bean deprived of representation in the diplomatic and consular service, federal, state and departmental positions which we enjoyed under republican rule, aggregating hundreds of taousands of dollars annually. The moral and financial effect of this upon a poor, struggling race cannot be overesti- mateq. I will ignore the social ostracism, Jeers and jibes inflicted by my fellows upon a negro democrat, and address myself to the fact that the party accentuates this painful ignominy by itself discrediting our loyalty, integrity and honesty by ignoring us In its selection of well-known aggressive negro republicans upon whom to bestow its highest honors and favors, as witnessed in the recent appointments of minister to Li- beria and chaplain of the ninth United States cavalry He criticised the administration and the party also for the continuance of Taylor in office. In conclusion, he said: “These are a few of the reasons and ac- tions which have forced me out of the democratic party, and I am willing and anxious to retrieve the mistake of my life by doing all in my power to relegate that party back to an oblivion from which it should never have been allowed to escape.” THE NEGRO EXHIBIT. The Women's Committees in Wash- ington Hard at Work. The colored women of the District of Columbia who have been selected by the commission in charge of the negro exhibit from the District to aid in their work have made a thorough canvass of the city in their efforts to secure the best specimens of artistic and other work representative of colored talent. Mrs. J. H. Merriweather, chairman of the commit- tee on fine arts, says that her committee will make a creditable showing. The en- tire collection to be exhibited at Atlanta will be prepared at an early date for ship- ment. Mrs. Julia M. Clayton of the committee on liberal arts reports that her. committee has not succeeded as yet in securing an elaborate exhibit of liberal arts; yet they hoped to secure several dramas written by colored authors, as well as several musical selectioiis com- posed by colored musicians here. Mrs. J. T. Gray informs the commission thet the members of the Artists’ Club, which was recently formed, have assured her that the collections which they were making wi be exhibited in connection with the trict exhibit. Mrs. J. D. Bailey, who is preparing the cook book, which will con- tain recipes by the colored women of the District, said that nearly all of the women commissioners have submitted recipes. There have been submitted reports from the other committces, and Miss M. A. Jor- dan reports that the lawn fete will be given on the 16th of the month on the Howard University campus. The man- agers at Atlanta inform the women here that one of the most attractive exhibits of the negro building wili be a -bust of Charles Sumner—a fine specimen of sculp- ture by Edmonia Lewis (colored) of Rome, Italy. It is a_confribution by’ Dr. W. H. Johnson of Albany, N. Y., to whom the bust was presented by the sculptress. —.__ The First Meeting.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. New School House Site — Fears of Burgiars. A delegation, consisting of Mr, Sag oa Dr. Widmer of the school board, Mr. J. & Hurst and Mr. J. V. N. Huyck, has select- ed the site for the new public school to be located on the Conduit road. It is of cen- tral location, fronting on the Gonduit road, Glen Hurst Park on the east and the Chain Bridge road on the west. The new building will be of brick and will contain four rooms. It is a much needed convenience, and the construction will be pushed hur- riedly. John C. Hurst has sold to Poynton W. Musson three lots on Hurst place, east of the distributing reservoir, and plans are being prepared for a handsome two-story frame residence, with bay windows and ail modern improvements. Concealed Weapon: Richard Nicholson is in a cell of the seventh precinct station house for carrying a concealed weapon. The unlawful article was a razor. The man was arrested for drunkenness and in the search that always precedes an incarceration, the razor’s ex- istence on his person developed. Epidemic of Thievery. The police have rid the town, temporar- ily at least, of three annoying pilferers, Louis Carter, Alfred Johnson and Marcel- lus Active. They are all colored minors, who have kept their moral existence taint- ed from almost babyhood. Two of them have “done time” in jail more than once. Active Is, through his deeds, leader of the gang. They are all household thieves, it is alleged, and have worked in various sec- tions of town. Recently they stole a car- pet from the home of Mr. Delzel. Premises 1308 29th street were entered and relieved of household effects, and Mr. H. W. Of- futt’s home had provisions taken from It. Detective Frank Burrows and Ofticer Con- nor made the arrests. These pilferers hav- ing made themselves acquainted with the police before and fell under official sur- veillance as soon as the thefts were report- ed, suspicion was well founded. The epi- demic of thievery is still on here. The con- tagion*is spreading. The arrest of the leaders is only arousing old offenders to action.
