Father Zurcker of Buffalo presented a minority report. The main portion of his report was the Same as the majority report, but he at- tacked the St. Vincent Abbey be end Catholics generally for making beer. “That's the darkey behind the fence in my repcrt,” said he. Rev. Father Ward moved that the ma- jority report be received and Father Zurcker’s reference to St. Vincent's beer be incorporated therein. Fathe~ Zurcker said the people uf Amer- fea would respect Catholics more if they took a beld stand on this question. Father Walter Ross of Ohio said they were a national body and should pass res- olutions dealirg with the national ques- tion and not designate any particular place or diocese. He moved the folowing reso- lution: “Recognizing the inconsistency of declaitning against Catholic laymen in the liquor business, while passing over in si- Ience the unseemly spectacle of religious men and clergy managing and encoureg- ing the unbecoming traffic, the union de- plores the continuance of this unetifying Sameie and hopes for its speedy suppres- sion.” f 5 Father Kelly said there was no sincerity about this, ror Father Ross at the me: of the commitive voted against lis own resolution. - The chirman said that this could not be allow +1. t: Delegate Mag22 of Minnesota, a colored man, was the next speaker.

St. Louis, Mo., was selected as the place and the first Wednesday of August as the time for the next year's meeting of the convention. Father Cleary of Minneapolis was unani- mously re-elected president, and J. Wash- ington Logue was re-elected vice president. —— CRACK CYCLISTS CONGREGATE.

Affecting Meeting With Her Husband in Chicago. Se CHICAGO, August 9.—Very affecting was the meeting in Chicago yesterday between Mrs. Annie M. Gardner of Arcadia, Neb., and her husband. The woman has become krcwn during the last month on account of her mysterious disappearance from the Christian Endeavor convention in Boston. She was found by J. W. Landers, a friend of the family, while she was serving as a domestic, at Norwich, Conn. Mr. Landers telegraphed to Mr. Gardner, and the latter reached Chicago a short time before Mrs. Gardner and Landers came from the east. After-an affecting meeting, the husband and wife went to a hotel to stay while Mrs. Gardner is under medical treatment. Mrs. Gardner shows the effect of the illness which resulted in her disappearance. She is wan and pale, but is convalescing. She talks but little, and sees no visitors. The welfare of her children worries her greatly, and her first question to her hus- band was regarding them. Mrs. Gardner's erratic actions are said to be due to a chronic ailment which the long railroad journey aggravated. pile ca as DELAWARE TOO SHALLOW. Philadelphia Stenmships Transferred to New York.

Senator Caffrcy Appears Before the Controller. Senator Caffery took the floor when the sugar bounty hearing was resumed today. He began by eliciting from Mr. Bowler a brief statement of his position, which that gentleman said was based principally on the belief that the law was unconstitu- tional. Mr. Caffery then laid down the following propositions as containing in brief the points that he would attempt to make: 1, That the judiciary power lodges by ex- press constitutional grant in the judicial department, and that alone. If any judicial function lodges in any other department it must -be by express cerstitutional grant, and if it lodges in the executive department at all it must be in its chief alone, and not in his subor- dinates. 2 %. Conceding for argument's sake that the bounty law ts not constitutional, it is rot so clearly so as to warrant the inter- pretation that it is unconstitutional even frcm a court, much less from a ministerial oficer. It is not prima facie unconstitu- tional. 4. Even conceding the unconstitutionality of the law, the power lies in Congress to appropriate money, especially where it is appropriated for the purpose of repairing se wrone sor injury inflicted by Congress He then proceeded to elaborate these reints in an argument devoted almost exclusively to the constitutionality of the kounty law.

The review of the mineral resources of the United States, new being Issued by the geological survey, gives a short account ef antimony and platinum. It says that antimonial ores have been found in a num- ber of the western states, chiefly in Ar ansas, California, Idaho, Montana, Ne- ada and Utah, It is usually found in the form of a sulphide, but also occurs combined with iron, copper and lead. The product of the United States has risen from sixty tons in ISS2 to 250 tons in 104, alued at $45,000. Nearly the entire sup; is from California, and is smelted at San Francisco. A lesser but considerable quan- lly came from Nevada. The imports were sniall in 1894, being ®alued at only $213,000, nout two-~ ds the usual amount. . The production of platinum fs still instg-'| nificant. The results of the examination of the black sands of the Oregon beaches ve proved a disappointment, the amount of platinum being scarcely noticeable, al- though the sand contains $1.55 in gold per ton. : ee Charged With Criminal Libel. A warrant was issued this afternoon from the Police Court for Andrew J. Boyer, pub- lisher and editor of the United American, known as the local A. P. A. paper, for al- leged criminal libel. The warrant was sworn out by Hamilton G. Fant and charges that Cornelius D. Kenny, the tea merchant, who has stores in Baltimore and this city, was libeled in an,article published in the paper. The warrant states that in the publica- tion of the paper there was a statement to the effect that Kenny had openly stated that he would never employ a Protestant clerk, and that in posting a notice for the employment of a clerk -he posted “No Protestan:s need appl: The article charged is alleged to have concluded: ‘Let Americans steer clear of this Papist boy- cotter.” These statements the cumplainant alleges are untrue. The warrant will probably be served ihis evening. —————— Without Bills of Health. The Secretary of the Jreasury today re- ceived a report from Capt.

RAILWAY EMPLOYES Recognition of Their Protective “S Thion. ASMOCATION: DEFENIS 109. MEMBERS President’ ‘Phillips Wants Hand- some Motormen. omy WA — RAILWAY MATTERS aes OTHER At the meeting yesterday afternoon of the Protective Street Railwey Union a full report was made in regard to the discharge of a driver on the Anaccstia line. Presi- dent Griswold of that line has entirely changed his attitude toward the members of the Railway Union, and now dces not dismiss a man without giving him ample opportunity to present his side of the case. One of the drivers of an Anacostia bob- tail car a few nights ago “loafed” on the car following until he was running on the other’s time and had picked up twenty-six passengers-in dll, leaving none whatever for the secpnd man to haul. The driver, after hauling his load of pas- sengers as far_as the stables of the line in Anacostia, and, although he should have taken his car to the terminus of the line in Hillsdale, to which point many of them wanted to go, deliberately drove into the stable and ordered the passengers to take the next car. The driver of the latter, al- though his car would get no credit for hauling the“Icad, cheerfully told the pas- sengers to get aboard, and he took those who vanted to go there to the end of the line. The remarkable action of the first driver was the subject of general talk among the employes cf the railroad company, and the stcry soon reached the ears of Presi- dent Griswold. Given n Chance. Instead of summarily dismissing the man, without giving him a hearing, Mr. Griswold sent for him, and asked him in the most kindly manner to make a full Statement cf the affair. The man did so, and then President Griswold asked him if he had ever known any of the other men to adopt a similar course with his pas- sengers. The driver replied that he had, and named three of his colleagues as those wkose course he had, he said, followed. Mr. Griswold then sent for the three men whose names had been given him, and they Were questioned at length. Each succeeded in proving that the charge made by the offending driver was unfounded in every particular, President Griswold then informed the offender that he could no longer continue. in the service of the Anacostia Railway Company, end his course in the matter was unanimously indorsed by the employes of the road. Subsequently the dismissed man made an 2ppeal to various members of the Protec- tive Street Railway Union to try to induce them to get the union to interest itself in his behalf in, order to get reinstated in the Anacostia Company's employ. But the men replied that the offense of which he was, by his oWn admission, guilty, was of too glaring a character to afford a hope ee the union would intercede in his be- half... nu; Reports submittéd showed that the Ana- €oxtia’ rodd is carrying more passengers than ever before for-a-lone time, and much satisfaction was expressed @y the mem- berg, Beneyally, that the public is carrying out the implied iniention made known dur- ing-the strike, that with better treatment for its meh the company might reasonably expect better and ‘more’ Ifféral treatment frem the traveling. public. x Mhe Eeckington Road. : In regard to the troubles with the Eck- ington road, it was stated and determined by the members of the union that xs there is ro antagonism on part of the union against atfy-road in the District, and as the union’-docs not admit as members any men who’ are not sober and industrious, the union intends to make a stand when the roads exercise an unjust or prejudiced rule of discharging men, and the union will not pass the matter unnoticed. It is said the union has received a great many accessions lately, and its member- ship is now represented on every railway line in the city. ‘The Columbia, Report was made. tb the meeting that the commitiee which had called on Presi- dent Baker of the Columbia Railway Com- apny in reference to the reinstatement of two discharged men’ had found that Mr. Baker is not opposed to the union, and is willing for the employes of the com- pany to become members of that body, and that the dismissed employes would, he said, be re-employed. Handsome Motormen. A recent act of President Phillips of the Metropolitan Railway Company, which was spoken of informally, though seemingly of but little importance of itself, has won for Mr. Phillips lots of praise among his em- ployes. It seems that’ President, Phillips, who like every one else connected with the company, or who rides on the new electric cars of the 9th street line, feels a special pride in the matter, and wishes the com- pany the most abundant success, has re- cently, unobserved by the men themselves, keen taking note of those conductors whom he regards as the handsomest men in his employ, and in a number of instances he sent for those he had determined were the best looking, and said to them “I have no fault to find with you gentle- men as conductors, but you are so good looking that it will give me pleasure to see you on the front of an electric car. Now, will you oblige me by learning to be a motorman.” Of course, after this very complimentary speech by the president there was nothing for the conductor addressed to do but coiaply, and all who were so selected are row being broken in as motor men. Among those so honored was Mr. F. M. Dent, the secretary of the Protective Street Railway Union. As stated in The Star yesterday, the Railway Union will take care of the con- ductor of the Eckington road who was discharged because he is a member of the union. It is also understood that the urion will use its influence to get the man em- ployment elsewhere. ——.— . Knights of the Golden Engle.

The Stonemasons’ Unicn will at their regular meeting torirht have before them a very important question which ‘involves a question of internatioral law and the em- plcyment or non-empleymcnt of a large number of bricklayers. According to the repcrts submitted at a corference mesting Tuesday right of the bricklayers’ and stenemasons’ unions, the storé foundation of a building at Fort Myer is being one by Centractor Mahoney with non-union etc: emssons. The fact has raiecd a very serious questicn involving the trade relations of the members of. the bricklayers’ and sicnemasors' vnions. The stone work is not yet ccmpleted, and urder an international law governing the bricklayers’ and stcnemasons’ organiza> tions, neither ts permitted to work upon any job whore non-union men ef either craft are employed. The contract for the brickwork to be erected upon the non-union work has been secured by a @nioa contractor, and the very important question of the employment of union bricklayers is Involved. At the meeting of the conference com- miltee of the two organizations it was agreed, without dissension, that the brick- layers skould work upon the structure pend- ing the submission of the matter to the Stonemasons’ Union at their n night, when the whole subject wil sidered and probably finaily d The question is of much impo the bricklayers, as favorable action of the stonemasons will provide emyloyment for ferty or fifty bricklayers upon this struc- ture alc’ If, however, the stonemasons should re- fuse to waive the international law in the interest of the bricklayers, the latter will be called from the work and non-union men will be substituted. ‘There is a disposition on the part of the stonemasons to decide the matter Mberally and fairly, and it is quite prebable that the action of the con- ference committee will bs approved and all trouble avert. ——— PROMPT VIRGINIA’ JUSTICE. Clark County People Want a Man Identified Before He Dics. Frank Tilford of the lumber firm of Tay- lor, Tilford & Davis has received word from Berryville, Clark county, Va., that illustrates the promptitude of Virginia jus- tice. Monday, as he was about to take the early morning train for Washington, as published in The Star, a gang of negroes assailed him at the Berryville station and demanded his watch, whereupon, having his hand in his right-hand coat pocket and his tevolver in his hand, without more ado he fired through the coat at his foremost assailant. The whole gang ran, and one fell on the other side of a fence. The train came along in a moment, but the conductor could not stop to investigate and brought Mr. Tilford on to Washington, where he has held himself in readiness to answer for his action. Mr.Tilford has received word that the fel- low has been caught, as was published in Wednesday's Star, and asking him to come up and identify him. “He is shct in the stomach,” said the message, “and may die; but if you will come up and identify him we think we can lynch him before he dies.” SS THE COURTS.

Brown, charging him with having obtained money under false pretenses in Baltimore June 21 last, from Columbus J. Stewart. The man was turned over to George W. Seibold, au- thorized agent of the state, by order of Judge Cole. Another requisition from Maryland, call- ing for Levi Poindexter, and charging him with receiving property in Baltimore July 11 last, alleged to have been stolen from Doniinick Rickenbacher, a jeweler, located cn G street, in this city, was also received. Poindexter has been confined in the Dis- trict jail for several weeks awaiting trial on a charge of larceny from Rickenbacher. On the ground that the identity of the prisoner had not been clearly established, Juidge Cole refused to grant an order of Temoval. Witnesses were sent for, how- ever, and it Is expected that Poindexter will be identified and taken to Baltimore late this afterncon. Te Set Aside a Sale. A restraining order from the court was teday asked by John A. Hughes to prevent his eviction from a store at 1700 Massachu- setts avenue by Timothy Gannon, Edward S. Wescott, Walter R. Wilcox and Michael Shea. The petitioner sets forth that he rented the premises November 14, 1893, agreeing to pay $50 per month therefor, and, sfter establishing a thriving grocery trade, he goes on to say, Gannon made a pretended sale of the property to Michael Shea. This, he claims, was done in order to oust him, so that Gannon might set up a business at the number mentioned, and Thereby reap the benefits earned by the endeavors of himself (Hughes). The court is requested to set aside the sale, if it was improper, and until that is decided to graat a temporary restraining order preventing the defendants from entering into posses- sion of the property. ——____ The Bleeding Patient. Willingham, the butcher who has been suffering at the Emergency Hospital for three days with hemorrhage of the nose, is still very low. The doctors have not given him up, and think thst if there is any ap- parent change in his condition, it indicates } a cessation of the bleeding. Yet the case is one which has small ground for encour- agement. —_=._—_ Went Ayay im a Hurry, Elmer H. Alexander, a young man who was employed at the Swiss dairy, has been arrested at Frederick, Md., on a charge of embezzling $64 of the funds of his em- ployer, and Detective Carter will go there to bring iim here for trial. According to the Infcrmation received by the police Al- exander has been keeping company with a young lady and she was looking for him. In order to get away from her he left and went to Frederick, not waiting te turn over the mor He wil! probably be brought here tomorrow. 2 FOR THE BLIND. District Pupils in Maryland's School for the Aillicted. The Secretary of the Interior received the report today of F. D. Morrison, superin- tendent of the Maryland School. for the Blind, at 220 Hast North avenue, Balti- more, in regard to the United States pupils in that institution from the District of Co- lumbia. There are now in the Maryland School for the Blind twenty-three District pupils. Their expenses are paid by the United States and the District out of what is known as the permanent indefinite fund, which is always available and does not de- pend on a regular yearly appropriation. Thus these pupils escape the embarrass. ment that sometimes befalls many govern- ment beneficiaries and employes when the appropriation necessary for their main- tenance or compensation fails of passage by_ Congress. The pupils now in the Baltimore school are Eleanor Dougherty, Clinton Russell, Thomas H. Maxwell, Susie J. Duffy, Annie Mundy, George Washington Jones, William Somerville, Mabel Le Duc, William Leary. Ridzaway Arringdale, John Banks, M. Ad line Trice, Wydie Tippett, Daisy R. Mc Bride, Thomas yn, Theodora J. Hz Rodney A. Hawkins, Lora W. Carwile. . Wat da E. Crapster, Joseph jr. and James R. Ford. Mr. Morrison says these pupils are prom- ng, and some possess more than average ability. They are pursuing a regular ¢ourse wh'ch commences with the kinder garten for the younger children,and includes in the full course spelling, reading by touch arithmetic, history, grammar, algebra, geometry, natural philosophy, physiology, music, instrumental and vocal, and har- mony; sewing (plain and machine), crocheting, knitting (fancy and_ plain). All do not show the same talent. If there is no aptitude for music, that study js dropped. The capabilities of each pupil are studied and development on the lines of special ability pursued. s One of the District pupils, James Trainer. has completed the course in handicraft, and is capable of earning his living either as a plano tuner or a maker of mattresses. The superintendent suggests that his term in the schoo] expire June 30, 189%. This would leave twenty-two United Siates pupils. ‘The school has a new three-story building, eighty-two feet long, nearly ready for oc- cupancy. The school is nicely equipped for its work, has several pianos and a grand or- San. $+ 2+ Persoral Mention.

Kammerecn of Cincinnati, na- tional organizer of the National Retail Liquor Dealers’ Association, spoke to a large audience at Costello's Hall cn Wed- nesday afterrocn. “The liqvor dealers oppose the abuse, not the use of liqucrs,” Mr. Kammeron said. “Guiteau, the assassin, abhorred the use of liqner, but he put a revolver to bad use. Why is there not a universal outcry against the manufacture of firearms? If a man makes a beest of himself in the’ use of liquor, why not punish Fin, instead of attempting to deprive nine-tenths of the sober, temperate people of their means of enjoyment?” Mr. Kammeron aigued that there are 00 liquor dealers in the United States who pay each an aversge tax of $10 a ‘year. The manufacturers vse millions of bushels of corn, hops, mait, wheat, rye and potatoes to make the liquor consumed. Yet it often heppened, he said, that the farmer was a probibitionist. Mr. Kam- meron was of the opinion that he had never met a prohibiticnist who was not a faratic, a knave cr a hypocrite. —-— Summer Seri of Sermons, Dering the present month and September Rev.

SSS SSS FINANCE AND TRADE Expected Gold Exports Not to Be Made. RUMORS AS 70 ERIE REORGANIZATION No Change in Sterling Exchange Rates. GENERAL MARKET. REPORTS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, August 9.—There was noth- ing doing in the London market this morn- ing in Americans,and all orders to arbitrage houses here would not have aggregated 1,000 shares. There were no indications in the early trading that the local market would be any improvement upon yesterda: Soon aftgr the opening, however, an im- pression amounting almost to a conyiction prevailed that the “Mess! Crossman, who were to have shipped upward of a million gold to Europe tomorrow, would not ship, and two other smalier houses, who had ar- ranged for the shipment of $500,0(), als said they would not ship. This encouraged the room traders to play for a rally, and their efforts were fairly successful, in that the whole t was very strong and ad- vanced matérially, on much freer trading than for some days past. The threatened “frost scare” failed to materialize, the Weather map, as well as prices for grain, proving too much for it. Manhattan was easily the feature of the trading, both in strength and activity. ‘The buying was at first put down to cover- ing of shorts, but the continued strength «nd character cf the buying in it started rumors of a deal by which a new party would gain control of the property. The movement in sugar was confined to rarrow limits, fluctuations’ being controlled by minor operators, in the absence of all of the well-known manipulaters. Erie securities were all weak, owing to Tumors that the new reorganization plan contemplates an assessment of $8 per share on the preferred, and $12 per share on the comn.on stock. Telegraph resumed {ts place as an “‘ac- tive,” and cut through 94 on the very best kind of buying. There is absolutely no change in the sterling exchange from yesterday’s prices. Brokers quete the market extremely strong, with no increase in the supply of bills. Rates are firmly held except where gold bills are offered. Actual rates for sterling are: Cable transfers, 495 1-2a490%-4: de- mand, 49) 1-4a4% 1-2; sixty days, 48) Lda AST A The New York subtreasury’s regular daily reports of operations show as fol- for the week: Total receipts, $15,- 100, including 3480,000 currency from other offices of the ireasury Lepartment, and 31,000,000 for currency certificates is- sued, showing that some banks are pressed for room in which to store their funds. Total payments, $16,300,000, including $2,- 225,000 sent to other offices of the depart- ment. On the regular business of the treasury at the clearing house ihe latter has therefore mad, a gain of about $100,000, but this was swallowed up by the loss of $2,650,000 by the export of gold: This loss will also absorb all of the possible gain of $1,000,000 this week by the regular e movement of currency. The stock market continued strong througheut the afternoon, the rally giving every indication of lasting through to- morrow. Advices from the growing crops are of the most favorable character, and these coupled with the curtailed gold ship- ments cause a much better feeing in the street and on the floor of the stock ex- change.
