INTERESTING LABOR” NEWS Local Union of Electric Workers Transact Important Business. Fffort to Get the National Brother- hood Convention Here — The Commitice’s Meeting. The regular weekly meeting of Local Union, No. 26, Electrical Workers, was held last night at their hall, No. $27 7th street northwest, and the proceedings were full of interest. President John M. Berger pre- sided. Two honorary members were clect- ed and an application for active member- ship was received from Mr. John A. Rau. The uniform as finally adopted for the Labor day parade will consist of dark pants, light outing shirt, black cap, with miniature lamp in front; black belt, with Pliers, screwdriver and hammer. The members will also carry colle of wire with incandescent lamps and sockets, bells, ete. A committee, composed of Messrs. R. F. Metzel, John Lloyd and J. M. Berger, was appointed to look after the electric work at St. Elizabeth’s Asylum and the new ware- house of House & Herrmann. It was announced that Mr. W. J. Mc- Leod’s shop will be strictly union in the future, as Mr. John A. Miller, who has been elected an honorary member of the Washington Union, has stated that ne will have none but union men in his employ, and that those now under him must either join with the union or give up their posi- tions, and seek employment if they wish it elsewhere. It was further stated that Mr. Miller is not only an honorary member cf Local Union, No. 26, of Washington, but an active member of Machinists’ Union, No. 186, of Baltimore. i The statement was made that the con- tract for making the official badge of the union has been awarded to Mr. S. N. Meyer of Washington, and that it is probable that, through the influsnce wf Local No. 26, Mr. Meyer may also get the contract for making the official badges for Local No. 53, of Harrisburg. . = The trustees of the unfon*will meet at No. 805 M street northwest Monday at & p.m., in order to make the usua! examina- tion of the financial affairs of the society. National Brotherhood Convention. After the adjournment of the union the committee having charge of the matter of the coming convention of the National Brotherhood was held. A letter was read from Grand Secretary- Treasurer Kelly of the National Brother- hood at St. Louis, stating that the unions in all the eastern and central states as far as heard from favor Washington as the Place for the meeting of the convention, while the west is divided in their choice between St. Louis, Chicago and Milwaukee. Buffalo is the only city outside of Was! ington which has made a hid for the con- vention, and Mr. Kelly says: “I admire the enterprise of the Washington Union for the manner in which it has hustled for the convention. AS note of the other uniors seem to be making any special effort toward getting it, they Xpparently trusting entirely to their suppasqd advantages of jocation, Washington, therefore, seems to have an excellent chance of securing the convention.” > ‘The committee has prepared a petition to be presented to the busineas men of Wasi- ington, asking for contributions to aid in defraying the expenses of the convention. These papers will be signed by R. F. Met zel, chairman, and Yonn M. Berger, retary-treasurer of the committee, will bear the seal 6f'the union in the lower left-hand corner, and the committee is in hopes that when these papers are pre- sented those to whom they are shown will clesely examine them to see that they are genuine. 4 Stonemasons’ Banner. The regular weekly meeting of the Stone- masons’ Union was held last night, when it was determined to have a new silk ban- ner to be carried in the Labor day parade. It will be inscribed “Operative Stone- masons, No. 2° Disttict“8¢ Columbia.” ‘The members will.weap, felt-hats and-carry walking sticks. Eccentric Engincers. Announcement was made last night at the meeting of Eccentric Association of Steam Engineers that the Kit Carson Drum Corps has been secured for the Labor day parade. It was also stated that at the next meeting a lecture on two interesting topics will be delivered by Mr. James Dun- ton, a mechanical and electrical engineer. pare ae, THE COMPANY WON. and Judge Cole Settles a World’s Fair, Beer Case. ‘ In the case of the Anheuser Busch Brew- ing Association of St. Louis against Joan Ecyd Thacher and the other commissioners on awards of the Chicago world’s fair, Judge Cole today granted an injunction against the commissioners, requiring them to correct an error made relative to an award to the association for its bottled budweiser beer. The brewing association charged that in the examination and analysis of its bud- weiser bottled beer by Prof. Wiley of the Agricultural Department, one of the judges, and whose duty it was to make a chemical analysis of the various samples of beer submitted by the different makers, a mis- take was macs, its beer being reported to contain salacylic acid. Five points were deducted by the committee on awards be- cause of such alleged presence of the acid in the sample, the bottled beer receiving but 88 points out of 100, whereas a sample of the same beer submitted in kegs was fourd to contain no acid, and was given 95 points. Prof. Wiley acknowledged, in a let- ter to the commission on awards, that a mistake had been made by his assistants in making the analysis of the bottled sam- ple, and after having found another sam- ple of the very same bottled beer free from the salacylic actd, he requested that his second report be substituted for his first one. The commission, however, declined to make the correction, on the ground that it had not the jurisdictional authority to so do. Thereupon the Anhevser Busch Brew- ing Association, the makers of the beer, applied for an injunction to restrain the commission from making or publishing the award on the first examination and analy- sis of Prof. Wiley, and to compel them to make and publish the award on the second. In his opinion, Judge Cole held that the mistake allez2d to have been made had really been made and he Geelared that the complainant association had the right to the relief prayed for. The testimony in the case, he said, clearly showed that the mistake was made, and: that no salacylic acid had ever been found in any other sample of the association’s beer. — MAYOR AND LEADING CITIZENS. A Party of Pi ninent Atlanta Men Stop Over in Washington. Mr. Porter King, the mayor, and R. D. Spalding, T. B. Neal, H. H. Cabaniss, Stew- art Woodson, R. M. Farrar, J. E. Maddox, H. C. Stockdell and G. A. Nicholson, lead- ing citizens of Atlanta, Ga., reached Wash- ington yesterday evening on their way home from a visit to New York. The party went as a representative committee to in- vite the executive committee of the New York chamber of commerce to visit and in- spect the Atlanta exposition, and to confer at the same time with President Samuel Spencer of the Southern railroad over the proposition recently submitted looking to the removal of the offices of the Southern from Washington to Atlanta. The Atlan- tians received a cordial acceptance from the chamber of commerce, but President Spencer would make no promises regarding the removal question. i Pretty nearly everything genuine and good is at some time or other subject to being counterfeited. Money is the surest victim of the shrewd im-tator, and one after another valuable goods are counterfeited and palmed off as real. Now, it is a pill that is being sold for what it is not. Car- ter’s little liver pills are today one of the best-known commodities on the medicinal market, and the announcement is made by the manufacturers that thelr packages are being imitated and inferior goods sold under the famovs old name that has become a household by-word. Purchasers of these little pills, therefore, shoutd see that they are not being imposed upon. Tre company that makes the genuine pills will, it is sald, take vigorous steps for the prosecu- tion of the offenders. WHOLESALE PRODUCE MARKET. Prices Practically They Were Last Week. “ i As a whole, the local wholesale produce market is today practically as it was a week ago, prices generally remaining un- changed. Even the increasing vield of-veg- tables has not caused an appreciable de- cline in prices, although the increased sup- ply of fruits is responsible today for a slight fall in prices. But otherwise the market is as it was this day one week ago. Prices in most products should decline somewhat this month. In butter, however, just the opposite may be reasonably ex- pected. So, too, eggs may be expected to shortly slightly advarce. Although beef and kindred meats show little, if any, real change in prices, there is an impression that in the fall prices will be much lower. The market continues to be a splendidly supplied one throughout, and it is a firm and active one. While butter remains at the prices quot- ed a week ago, there is every indication that it will advance, materially so, before the end of the present month. The market is very much firmer, and while actual trad- ing is moderate, the speculative demand 1s light. The market is nicely cleaned up, few receivers having any surplus beyond regular ho-dings. The westcrn yield shows a continued shrinkage, in many casts the falling off being more than fifty per cent. Prices today are: Fancy Elgin creamery and other western extras, 20 cents'a pound; choice, 19; firsts, 18; seconds, 16: fancy creamery print, 23 to 25; dairy print, 16 to 18, and Marylend cnd Virginia print, 12 to 15; western dairy, bést, 12 to 13, and’ good, 9 to 10; Maryland and Virginia creamery, 16 to 17, end good to prime, , 10 to 12; ba- kers’ stock, 12%. Cheese is not firm, and prices remain as last quoted: Large, 10 cents a pound; flats, 10%, and ponys, 11. Eggs are firmer today, and, although their price remains unchanged, there are indica- tions of an upward tendency. From 11 to 12 cents a dozen are asked for the best, and 1 to 2 cents less for inferior goods. Keat or guinea, 5 to 6. Owing to increased receipts in poultry, prices are a trifle lower today. For spring chickens, 11 to 13 cents a pound are asked, and 5 to 10 for old fowls. Ducks, 8 to 10, and geese, 5 to 7. * Vegetabies and fruits are arriving In large quantities, but prices show little change. Cucumbers, 50 cents to $1.25 a box; kale, 20 to 35 cents a barrel; peas, $1.50 to $2 a bar- rel; beans, 75 cents to $1 a box; asparagus, 50 cents to $1 a dozen; lettuce, $1.50 to $2 a barrel; new Irish potatoes, 75 cents to $1.50 a karrel; Bermuda onions, $1.60 to $1.75 a crate; yellow, $1 to $1.25 a barrel; new, 40 to 50 cents a bushel; egg plants, $1.25 to $1.50 half barrel box; lima beans, 4 to 6 cents a pound; tomatoes, 75 cents to $1.50 a bushel; cabbage, 50 cents to $1 a barrel; beets, $1 to $2.50 per 100 bunches; turnips, 60 to 65 cents a barrel; apples, 50 cents to $2 a bar- rel; California oranges, $3.50 to $4; Mes- sina, $3 to $3.50 a box, and Valencia, $4 to $4.50 a case; whortleberries, 3 to 5 cents a quart; cherries, 4 to G cents; raspberries— red, 8 to 10; black, 5 to 8; blackberries, 6 to 8; watermelons, $10 to $15 per 100; peach- es, 50 cents to $1.50 2 box, and 75 cents to $1 a basket; cantaloupes, 75 cents to $3.50 a barrel; plums, blue, 15 to 25 cents a bas- ket; gage, 15 to 30 cents; pears, La Conte, $1.50 to $2.50 a barrel; grapes, 30 to 40 cents 10-Ib. baskets; 10 to 20 cents 5-lb. baskets; Damsons, $1 to $1.25 a bushel; 25 to 35 cents a basket. Prices for beef and other meats remain unchanged: 3 to 4 3-4 for live cattle; sheep, 2 to 21. lambs, 3 to 5; cows, with calves, $20 to $35 each; calves, 2 1-2 to 5 1-2 cents a pound; country sugar-cured hams, 9 to 11; la 6 1-2 to 7. EXCURSIONS, The Capital Bicycle Club,which embraces @ great number of other persons besides bicycle riders, gives its annual exeursion to Marshall Hall on the steamer Macates- ter Monday next. Although the date for this year is a trifle later than usual the management feel that the move is a wise one and that the renewed success of the outing will justify their actions. ‘The night is one for a full moon, unless some acci- dent happen to the elements, and ft is ex- pected that the affair will be cne of the Most enjoyacle that has ever gone down the river to this popular resort. The num- ter of tickets will be limited to prevent the possibility of crowding, and they may be obtained from members of the club or at the club house. An immense number went down’ on the Macalester last night to Marshall Hall and Indian Head, the boat being crowded al- most to overflowing. At the Hall every- thing was kept running in fine style, the Ferris wheel being. especially attractive to the many who desired a glimpse cf the Potomac aid the suirourding country by moonlight. Tomorrow will be as attractive as usual at Marshall Hali and everything possible will be done for the comfort and enjoyment of those who take an outing on Sunday to enjey at least cne day of cool- ness during the week. Schroeder's band will be in attendance all day long and will render selections on the band platform back of the mangion. A very large crowd went down this after- noon to se2 Speedy, the champioa tower diver of the world, do his act xt River View at 3 o'clock. It is expected that this evening’s boat to Indian Head and River Visw will be crowded to its utmest capacity. Speedy will jump again this evening for the benefit cf those who. get off xt River View on the evening trip, and after his performance dancing and cther usval at- tractions will be offered. Tomcrrow is the last chance the people of this locality will have to see Speedy befcre he departs for the west. He will jump twice, at 3 in the afternoon and 7 in the evening, and prepar- ations have been made for one of the larg- est crowds of the season. The regular time schedule will prevail and his jumps will be made immediately after the arrival of the afternoon and evening beats. Arth's orchestra will render selections on the Forch of the cafe as usual, addirg a great deal to the general enjoyment of the day and especially to those whc make a prac- tice of eating their Sunday dinner at the pretty place. Centennial Council, No. 4, Sons of Jona- dab, will give a moonlight excursion to Indian Head on the steamer Harry Ran- dall Monday evening next. A fine pro- gram of songs, recitations and instrument- al music ‘has been prepared and refresh- ments ‘will be served cn the,boat by the lady friends of the crder. ie boat will leave at 6:45 and a most enjoyable occa- sion 1s aaticipated by the members and friends of the organization. ‘Tomorrow enticing Colerial Beach will await the many hundreds of people that patrcnize this popular resort evezy Sunday. It is safe to say that this Sunday will not go without taking a merry crowd down. Cool breez2s and plenty of shade, together with salt water bathing and crabbing, are some of the features cf the place. Concerts will be given on the trip down that will enliven the day, and all will have a chance to view the picteresque scenery along the Potomac. The- steamer City of Richmond will leave 7th street wharf at 6 o'clock this evening and tcmorrow at 9 a. m. from the 6th street wharf. Columbia Lodge, No. 10, I. 0. O.

Other Notes of a Local and General Nature From Across Rock Creek Bridge. Gco. Dover was terribly backed about the face last night with a razor in the hand of Chas. Fantroy. The left cheek was slashed through, leaving two gaping cuts, exposing from the outside tongue and teeth. Blood flowed in a stream for a time and coagulated. The man was a spectacle when he came before the officers. The as- sault occurred at 2840 Q street, opposite the “Twenty Buildihgs” and Presbyterian graveyard. Fantroy' fs a tough, whose savageness has beet! démonstrated before. So fiercely were thé: blows with the keen edge of the razor givem that the blade was broken. It was fowhd/later in the room, both pleces covered with blood. The crim- son fluld was also séen“on the wall, where it had spurted. Wh€n antroy saw the se- ricusness of his act: he escaped into Vir- ginia by way of the! Aqueduct bridge. Dover had his wounds attended to by : A. B.

Daniel Coleman, an-habitual slave to the morphine habit, who a few weeks ago was the central figure in a pathetic scene at the Police Court (where he had been taken for exhibiting violence while under the influ- ence of the drug), in which he acknowl- edged his weakness, told how he had fought against it, and asked that he be sent to an asylum, was taken in again here night be- foye last and placed behind the bars. During the early morning he escaped from his cell by picking the lock with his finger, so he declared later. He claims that he had no intention of escaping at first, but, on calling for water, and not being answered, he tried the lock; it yielded, and he walked to the hydrant and helped himself. Feeling better at liberty than within the confines of a cell, he walked forth through a side door and into the open air. Later he had the nerve to send back to the lieutenant for his clothes, he having divested himself of them early in the night. The messenger was told that the owner must present himself in person. Colemar: was brought to the station today again. His use of morphine has affected his mind, making him fiighiy and violent at times. He !s an intelligent fellow, though, under normal conditions, well read, and an entertaining conversationalist. now refuse to open for him. ‘The Bathing Beach, Officer D.

Mr. Ford, whose home ts on Heffison strect, above Taylor, and wrese loss-will-ameunt to'$200 in cash. It is believed that the robbers were professionals, and ‘they proceeded so noiselessly 4 ith thelr work'that their pres- }ence was not known in the house until after 6 o’cleck this mcrning, when Mrs. Ford was twakened from her sleep by her ncse bleeding. She immediately arose and as quickly as pessible went down stairs to get some water to allay the hemorrhage, when she was greatly astonished to find that both the front and Lack deors of the house were standing wide open. Mrs. Ford hastily arcused her son and an examination cf the premises was made. It was found that the thieves had effected an entrance by forcing open a front shut- ter and that they had then opened the two doors in order that their means of escape would be easy. : The mot.ey was taken frcm a drawer in a bureau in Mrs. Ford's room and was re- ceived by her a few days ago in part as her pension from the government, her hus- band having been in that service and the remainder her share of a ministerial fund to which she, as the widow of a minister, was entitled. The matter has been reported to the po- lice authorities, but ‘here is no clue to the robbers. Mr. H. A. Linger, jr., who lives with his father opposite the residence of Mrs. Ford, who was out visiting last night, returned home shortly before 11 o'clock, and he ther noticed two strange men standing at the pump near Mrs. Ford’s heuse, but paid no particular attention to the circumstance. as men cften stop at that pump at all hours of the day and night to get a drink of water. ——— Parlor Cars for Deer Park, Staunton and Berkeley Springs.

A sale of considerable interest has just been consummated by Digges & Fairfax, real estate brokers, which involvés the purchase of the site in Virginia just west of the entrance to the Aqueduct bridge, where it is proposed to erect a brewery plant. A tract of land containing four acres and owned by A. S. Worthington has been sokt to a company recently incor- porated under the name of the Consumers’ Brewing Company. The price paid was atout. $10,000. It is proposed by this new company in the eourse of a few weeks to begin the erection on the high ground overlooking the city of a building 200x200 feet, four stories in height, surmounted by a large dome. The property owned by the com- pany éxtends to the river front, and this latter feature was one of the considera- tions in the selection of the site. ‘The new company has been incorporated with a cash capital of $500,000, and the officers, who are all Washington men, are 4&8 follows: Denr.is Connell, president; John Curtin, vice president; E.L. Jordan, sec- retary, and James Richardson, treasurer; directors, Dennis Connell, John Curtin, E. L. Jordan, James Richardson, William Mc- Guire, Robert White and Thomas Walsh. It is the purpose to build wharves on this Property, from which shipments of the pro- duct of. the brewery can be made down the river, It is stated by those interested in this-enterprise that the Pennsylvania Railrcad Company is purchasing property between Alexandria and the Aqueduct bridge, and it is expected that a road will be built connecting this locality with the Long bridge avd Alexandria. The capacity of the proposed brewery will about 100,000 barrels per year. The building is to be lighted by electricity, and there will be cold storage facilities on the top floor, and in other respects it is the intention of the company to make the Plant thoroughly modern and first class. Owing to the elevated site of the proposed building and the fact that the large dome on its top will be lighted with electricity, the new structure is likely to be a con- spicuous feature in that locality. ——.__ Puliman Sleeping Car for Deer Park and Oakland.
