LIKEWISE THE CIGARMAKERS UNION Electrical Workers Preparing for Their National Convention —— OTHER MATTERS OF INTEREST Columbia Typographical Union, No. 101, at their regular meeting yesterday after- noon at Typographical Temple, adopted resclutions as follows: “Whereas, Columbia Typographical Union, No. 101, recognizes the preprietors of all the datly papers of Washington as friend- ly to it and to organized labor generally, and as fair to their employes; therefore, be it “Resolved, That we deprecate as unwise and unfair representations by bodies of workingmen that all the newspapers of the city, save one, are hostile to organized labor; and, further be it “Resolved, That we pledge our support Bererally to the newspapers of Washing- ten, and express our appreciation of the aid they have given to organized labor in securing important refcrms.” A large amount of routine business was trarsacted, but there were also other mat- ters of much importarce disposed of. Officers and Committees. ‘The officers who were elected at the last meeting to serve for the ensuing term were installed. The complete list is as follows: President, George A. Tracy; vice president, E. G. Farrell; secretary, F. H. Padgett; treasurer, John J. Higgin: sergeant-at- arms, R. E. Hardwick; doorkeeper, Gran- ville Harford; trustees, T. M. Ring and J. J. Sullivan. The following standing committees were announced by President Tracy: Business—W. N. Brockwell, chairman; John F. McGinniss, M. J. Maher, John E. Fullenweider and Francis Benazler. Ncmination—Charles Bastian, chairman; F. C. Roberts, J. W. Lynch, W. R. Love and George P. Dowell. Printing—W. H. Phillips, chairman; John Behrie and Fred G. Garrison. Finance—J. J.

Satisfied With Civil Service. There was a long discussion over a series of resolutiois introduced by Mr. J. F. Ken- nedy, which criticised the civil service com- mission for their ection toward the em- ployes in the government printing office, but after a very full consideration of the subject the resolutions were tabled. After the adjournment of the meeting President Tracy, in reply to questions, said that the union has no fault to find with the civil service commission. The commission, he said, had treated the printers fairly in Its dealings with them, and the present tem of examinations promised to im- prove the standing of the government printing office employes, and to help the craft aswell. If there were any matters that the union needed to adjust with the commission President Tracy said they could be amicably settled as they arose, but that so far everything promised to arrange itself without the aid of resolutions or agitation of any sort, The Cigar Makers and the Press. The cigar makers at the meeting of their union Saturday night, after calmly consid- the matter, declared by resolution that they could see no sensible reason why they should discriminate in favor of any one newspaper. The resclutions set forth: “That we recognize in the attitude of the Washington press toward organized labor a disposition to be fair, and we pledge the press our support so long as they employ exclusively union labor, and that we will impartially recognize all daily papers In the giving out of news of interest to the pub- Tic.” The unfon passed resolutions conveying their sympathy to Mr, John B. Beuchling regarding the death of his wife. Tne Electrical Convention. The convention committee of Local Union, No. 26, Electrical Workers, met yesterday ternoon at No. S30 13th street northwest and hel/-an interesting meeting. Mr. Hen- ry Phillips presided and Mr. John M. Berger was secretary; The secretary read letters In reference to the rental asked for various halls in the city. Mr. A. C. Neubeck also submitted a propositicn for furnishing such banners as may be needed. A resolution was adopted that the following be invited to attend the opening of the convention: President Cleve- land and his cabinet, the District Commis- sioners, the president and other officers of the District Federation of Labor and Col. F. H, Clark and Capt. A. A. Thomas of the Electrie Light Company. It was announced that the following among many other electricians of world- ide reputation have been invited to be the guests of the union at a banquet to be giv- en by the members during convention week: Thomas A. Edison, Prof. Emile Ber- Mner, George ©. Maynard, George Westing- house, Prof. Elihu Thompson and Nicola ‘Tesla. A Cane for Mr. McHugh. Mr. James F. McHugh, president of the Federation of Labor, was presented with a handsome gold-headed ebony cane at the meeting of the Stonecutters’ Union Satur- day night. The present was intended as a complimentary testimonial on the part of the stonecutters toward their fellow-mem- ber, Mr. McHugh, and an expression of their appreciation of the honor conferred upon him by his re-election to the office of general secretary-treasurer of the Inter tional Stonecutters’ Association for the fitth time. The presentation address was made Mr. Patrick Quinn, formerly of Georgia, and now of Washington, and Mr. McHugh made an appropriate response.

PASTOR SHIELDS RESIGNS. He States His Reason in a Farewell Sermon to His Congregation. ‘The Rev. A. W. Shields, who has for sev- eral years officiated as the pastor of the Virginia Avenue Baptist Church, which is one of the largest colored congregations in this city, resigned his pastorate of that church yesterday, as it was stated in The Star he would do, and delivered his fare- well sermon. For his final sermon he se- lected as the basis of his remarks the text from Corinthians, “‘When Paul left the peo- ple whom he had been instructing in the word of God he felt sad.” He said that he, lke Paul, felt sad now that the time had ome for him to bid his former flock fare- well. He declared that he had labored earnest- ly with the people, but that discord having arisen among part of the flock, he came to say farewell. “And finally, brethren, fare- well; live in peace, that the God of peace may be with you,” were his closing re- marks. He said in the course of his remarks that when he assumed the pastorate of the church in 1893 he found the church divided and much dissatisfaction existing among the membership, and heavily in debt, with- out credit. He says that his first attempt after assuming the pastorate was to at- tempt to bring the members together. The trustee and deacon boards were reorgan- ized, and all of the minor debts were merged into one. He secured a loan of 36,000, and had the church replastered and stained glass windows put in the edifice. Still, he declared, there was a part of the congregation who did not have a mind to work; they toiled not, neither did they spin, and attempted to sow discord. This, he declared, had handicapped him in his work, and he tendered his resignation in the hope of finding a field elsewhere, where his labors would be more fully appreciated. Rev. Shields is a member of the Baptist Ministers’ Union, which comprises all of the colored Baptist churches here, and is well thought of among the ministry. The officials of the Virginia Avenue Church would have nothing to say as to the case of their pastor's resignation. — Eee SEIZED WITH SUICIDAL MANIA. A Young Woman Deceived in Love Tries to Drown Herself. A young and pretty girl made a scene on the Richmond coming up from Coionial Beach last night. Although she told her story and had a good deal of -attention shown her, she kept her name a secret. Ske had gone to Colonial Beach to find a young man who had been calling on her, ard, she said, had promised to marry her. She found there that he was married, and had his wife with him. She tried to see him, but he fled aboard the Richmond. Just as the gangplank was being drawn in she followed him, but although she searched every part of the boat, she could not find him. She then went into hysterics -ané tried to jump overboard. She was pre- vented from taking her life, and finally fainted. She was placed in a state room and two kind-hearted women took cure of her. She recovered consciousness just as the Richmond reached the 7th street wharf, and an effort was made to put her In the Emergency ambulance and take her to the hospital, but she made a vigorous refusal ard went home in a carriage, insisting that at the first opportunity she should commit suicide. —— The Monastery Brewery. It is not believed that the papal legate, Mgr. Satolli, will take any decided action on the petition recently addressed to him by Catholic total abstainers, praying for the suppression of the brewery at Beatty, Pa., which is conducted by the Benedictine monks. He Is sald to be considering the petition with a view of harmonizing the differences between those who signed the paper and the monks, the latter of whom are natives of Germany, and who do not regard the manufacture of beer as being repugnant in the least to their religious views. ——— Diverces Grante Judge Cole has signed a decree divorcing Jehn G. Killian from Alice B. Killian. The original bill in this case was filed Septem- ber 1, 1894. The parties were married May 1s71, and have had eight children. Mr. Killian charged his wife, among other things, with adultery, claiming that she had four children by a man named Tenly. Jt was also claimed that she drank intoxi- cating liquors to excess. A divorce has also been granted to Mary A. Mills from William H. Mills. Suit was brought March 20 last. The papers in this case were withheld from publication. ae A Meeting Out of Doors. The third quarterly meeting of the young people of the Baptist churches in the Co- lumbian Association will be held with the Anacostia Baptist Church next Friday even- ing. Dr. Rees of Philadelphia, who is sup- plying the pulpit of Calvary Church during this month, will deliver the address. If the weather is favorable the meeting wiil be held out of doors. a Sons and Daughters of Maine. Miss Kittie McLaughlin, the first secre- tary of the Sons and Daughters of Maine, was presented with a gold chain by her friends of that order at a meeting held Saturday evening. At the next regular meeting of the order, on September 7, a proposition will be made to change the rreeting nights from the first and third Saturdays to the first and third Wednes- days of each mecnth. A proposition to change the name of the society will also be censidered. —_—-—_—_ Denth of Mra. Cooper McGinn. Mrs. Mary McGinn, widow of J. Cooper McGirn, who has been at the point of death for several months, passed away yesterday morning at the residence of her sister, Mrs. David McKenzie, $15 North rolina avenue. Her funeral took place this afternoon. a Senator Stewart Recovering. Senator Stewart is now able to leave his home with the aid of crutches. The Sena- tor doern’t take to crutches kindly, but it Is only by thetr assistance that he can move about. He has made a number of visits to his friends since being made a cripple from his fall from a Chevy Chase ear. It fs thought that in a couple of weeks Mr. Stewart will have gained the use of his leg sufficiently to allow him to cast aside the relics of his accident. +. Appointed as Receivers. Judge Cole Saturday appointed Henry F. Woodward and Edward P. Tuttle receivers for George W. Rich, proprietor of the Warren Shoe House, 919 F street north- west. The appointment was made on a petition of Mr. Woodward as second as- signee of George W. Rich. Mr. Rich Friday, as stated in The Star, made an assignment to Edward P. Tut- tle, a resident of Roston. It was later learned that the assignment was invalid because Tuttle is not a resident of the District. Therefore, Mr. Rich Saturday made a second assignment, uaming Mr. Woodward assignee, and in order to avoid confusion in the settlement of the business the friendly sult in equity was brought for the appointment of the receivers. ——— Bricklayers on the Post Office. Charges have been made in effect that the brick masons at work on the new city post office building are not provided with sufficient scaffolding to guarantee them safety. Mr. Arthur Cowsill, the brick con- tractor, has assured a Star reporter that from the commencement of the work on the building by the brickmasons the latter had been provided with a flooring where they were at work sufficiently wide to guarantee the fullest safety. This floor- ing, he said, was ample to permit the wheeling of brick and mortar with the ut- most safety, as well as to give the masons a wide flooring to move about on. —_——_ e All Grades for All Pockets.

SHE “WANTED TO DIE Mra. Katie Kyle Guiips Into the Eastern Beadob. Rescucd After a Struggle — Reasons Given for the attempt—Tried It Onee Before. For the second time in less than three months Mrs. KatieiKyle, the eighteen- year-old wife of William Kyle, living on O, street near 11th street southeast, has made a desperate attempt to commit sul- cide, and but for the energetic efforts of Mr. Joseph Low she would have succeeded in her last effort. From the husband of the woman and others it was learned that Mr. and Mrs. Kyle were sitting in the parlor of their home about 10 o'clock yesterday morning when Mrs. Kyle suddenly arose from her chair and said, “Will, I am going over to Anacostia to see Dr. Harrison and ask him if he cannot give me some medicine that will do me good.” The husband made no objection, and Mrs. Kyle passed out of the house and down to the Navy Yard bridge, a short distance ‘away, and, proceeding to the draw, jumped into the channel a few feet below. The movements of Mrs. Kyle had not been observed by any of the few persons who were on the bridge at the time, but the noise made by her falling into the water attracted the attention of Mr. Joseph Low, who sprang after her. Pleads to Be Released. He managed to grasp Mrs. Kyle, but the latter begged him to release her, saying: “Let me drown; my heart is broken.” Meanwhile a number of men in boats, who had been attracted to the scene, were pulling to Mr, Low's assistance. Both Mr. Low and Mrs, Kyle were nearly ex- hausted when gotten into one of the boats. They were taken at once to Hutchinson’s boat house, at the ncrth end of the Navy Yard bridge, where an examination showed that Mrs. Kyle was in a very serious con- dition, Later Dr. T. D. Mudd cf Anacostia pro- nounced her to be in a very critical state from the effects of the shock she had re- ceived and the quantity cf water she had swallowed. Before taking her leap from the bridge, Mrs. Kyle dropped a note on the structure, and this was picked up and given to Mr Kyle. A Note to Her Husband. The note was written in a clear hand, and was as foilows: WASHINGTON, D. C., August 18, 1895. Darling Wil Remember me. I have gone from you with a broken heart. I can’t stand it any jonger, and all I ask of you is to pray for me, and ask all to pray for me. Tell my mother and all at home that I have drown- ed myself; that my heart was broke. Oh! God help me. MRS. KATIE KYLE. KATIE KYLE. The name was signed twice. In explana- tien of the words used in the letter, Mr. Kyle said that his wife before her mar- riage, about a month ago, was a Miss Gate- ly, whose home was in Northwest Wash- ington, and wh until she became Mrs. Kyle was employed in one of the laundries of the city. When the wedding took place she gave up her position in the laundry, and within two weeke the husband, who up to that period had had steady employment with Contractor Rogers, who is driving the piles for the 6th street sewer, was laid off because of the mon-arrival of material for the work, and fér the past two weeks Mr. Kyle has had nothing to do. The change in their circumstances, he said, produced a most depressing effect cn Mrs. Kyle, and for several days past she had sat in the house continually, brooding over her misfortunes. A neigh- bor whose house Mrs. Kyle has frequently visited since her marriage told The Star reporter that Mrs. Kyle had often told his family that she intended to drown herself, but they regarded the matter as idle threats. Previously Tried to Drown Herself. While lying in bed: yesterday one of her relatives asked Mts. Kyle if she was not sorry she had tried to kill herself, and she replied, “I don’t know. In reference to the previous attempt on the part of Mrs. Kyle to drown herself Mr. Kyle said that occurred about six weeks before their marriage. He and she were walking on the Navy Yard bridge cne night, when, so far as he knew, with- out there being any cause for her doing so, she suddenly dashed from his side and ran to the draw, from which she was about to jump into the river, when he seized and prevented her. So far as known, the domestic relations of Mr. and Mrs. Kyle have been of the pleasantest charact-r. SS THE LABOR DAY PARADE. Reports Indicate That 6,000 Men Will Be in Line. The Labor day conference which took place yesterday afternoon at Typograph- ical Temple was well attended, and was largely devoted to the reception of reports from representatives of societies which are expected to be in sine. It was stated that a very conservative estimate placed the number of men to be in line at not less than 6,000, while there is more prob- ability that the actual number of those in the procession will be greater rather | than less than these figures. There is no doubt from present indica- ticns that the various uniforms to be worn will be a striking feature of the occasion. In every instance they will be appropriate to the craft represented. There were a number of assemblies whese delegates announced that they would wear uniforms, bur who were not prepared to say of what the uniform would consist. It is believed from the number of bands of music that have been engaged, nearly every organization will be preceded by music. The Chief Marshal's Aid. Chief Marshal McHugh nnounced as his alds for the parade, so far as they have been selected, Messrs. William H. Stickels of the plasterers; C. J. Wells of the plate printers; D. A. Walsh of the stone cutters, and M. P. Canty of the bricklayers. Other appointments will be announced at an early day. ——_— Improvement of the Sidewalks. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The granolithic pavement, which is prom- ised to all who desire it and are willing to pay for it, is the most beautiful and durable of all pavements yet laid in Wash- ington, but if it is to be marred by three- fcot borders of mud along the curb lines, as is now being done, by authority, and not, it is believed, by the wish of the peo- ple, we had better return to the old grav- elly brick pavernent and escape the an- noyances which will result from this mis- taken idea of economy and moisture for trees. The saving will be small when com- pared to the amount of dirt ever present in frent of our doors, and the trees will thrive no better than they would with the usual tree space as heretofore. What, with the hocdlums and others constantly going out of their way to walk upon such spaces, as they do now ard will continue upon all sodded points within their reach, the scratching of dogs and washing by heavy rains, this experiment will prove to be more hard to remedy than the miserable sidewalks with which we have been af- flicted. If an officer cen be stationed on each block to arrest trespassers and shoot dogs, and the parking commission will see that the crass is kept green, this venture may prove successful; otherwise, it will be worse where this pavement is laid than it now is at the corner of New York avenue and 9th street, and in the tree spaces, which have been filled with red road-sand and gravel instead of being sodded, as was expected. Let us hope that the Commis- sioners will, upon second thought, discon- tinue this practice and give us good, clean sidewalks from the building line to the curb. K, Se Accident to the Mattano. The cylinder head of the engine of the steamer Mattano blew out yesterday af- ternoon while the boat was near Colling- wood Beach. Material with which to re- pair the accident was secured at Alexan- Gria, and after a delay of several hours the Mattano continued her trip. COLORED MARYLAND REPUBLICANS. Thoce Residing in This City Organize for the Coming Campaign. The colored republicans who are voters in the state of Maryland, but who reside in this city, have organized what is to be known ag an Association of Republicans of Maryland. The permanent organization was effected by the election of Jos. S. Queen as president and J. M. Gibson as secretary. The resolutions adopted by the associa- tion renewed the allegiance of the members to the cause of republicanism, and pledge their support to the nominees of the repub- lican party in the state of Maryland. The vomination of Lloyd Lowndes was declared to be wise and as calculated to bring suc- cess to the party in the fall election. The resolutions adopted included a plank de- nuneiatory of J. W. Poe and C. P. Irby of this city, who are supposed to be in Balti- more organizing clubs among the republi- cans. The association said that Poe and Irby’s mission was a mercenary one and calculated to injure the prospects of repub- lican success. The congratulations of the members were extended to Col. Perry Carsop, who is an old Ma stander, “upon the promising pros- pects of his being a delegate from this city to the next national republican convention. ——__ EXCURSIONS. + The tcurnament and full-dress ball which, takes place at River View Wednesday next is every day guthering in interest, and the event promises to be one of the most suc- cessful in every way that has ever taken place at this popular resort. The knights are to report at 12 noon Wednesday, when they will tilt for the honor of naming the queen of love and beauty and the supple- mentary honor of winning the first-money prize, which will consist of the entrance fees of the knights, increased by $50 do- nated by Capt. Randall. Some of the best- known riders of Virginia and Maryland have ‘signified their intention of entering the lists, and the contest is looked upon as promising to be very close and interesting. The tournament will take place in the afternoon, while in the evening the full- dress ball will take place, beginning at dark and lasting until daybreak. ‘he knights will ride in costume and will also probably attend the ball clad in their chivalric garments, and as the young iadies who live in the surrounding country are making great preparations as to their ap- pearance the sight will, no doubt, be a very pretty one. The orator of the day will be Richard E. Brandt, while Ed. B. Hay will perform the duties of that office in the evening. The Pentz will leave Washington at 945 a.m., 1:45 and 6:45 p.m., and the Harry Randall will leave at 5:30 and 7 p.m. A grand reunion excursion of the C. K. of A. will be given Thursday at River View under the auspices of the Catholic Knights of America who belong to commanderies in the District of Columbia. Great prepara- tions are being made for this outing, and the knights are confident that it will be one of the most successful excursions e given under the auspices of this soci ‘The Gonzaga Cadeis will engage in a com petitive drill in the evening, a handsome prize having been offered for the best- drilled company in the battali The Pentz will leave at a.m, and 2:30 and 6:30 p.m. The German societies of the city com- bined yesterday in one grand outing to Itiver V: that was a decided success in every way. The Saengerbund, Maenner- chor, Arion and United Singers were all represented, and the friends of the diife: organizations made the total number cf excursionists mount up Into the thousands. The committee of entertainment, consisting of John Waldman, chairman; Wiiliam Meyer, Frank Clandy, Charles Rogier ard August Smith, performed their work well and left no stone unturned to provide amusement for all. The feature of the day was the musical program, which w: ren- gered by the different singing societies. The Maennerchor, under the direction of Prof. Christiani, rendered a number of se- lections,which were followed by the Arions, under the leadership of Prot. Emil Holer. ‘The two societies then combined end zave “Jaeger’s Abschlied," “Wie Had Ich Siege- lebt” and “Studenten Nachtgesang,” re dering all in a pleasing manner. The return trip to the city was also enlivened | excellent music, in which the y members of the societies took part. Capt. E. S. Randall will give a special family excursion to Colonial Beach Friday next, at the urgent request of his patrons. The fast steamer Sam’! J. FPentz will leave th s city at 9 a.m., and will allow a long pee of time at the Beach for the enjoy- ment of the many amusements there.

Vernon Railway Company sent a floral trolley car to the family of the late Superintendent Holden of that road, on the occasion of his funeral Satur- day afternoon. The emblem was composed of carnations, roses and other flowers, and was designed by Electrician Colvin of the read and executed by Gude & Bro., the florists.

Not a seat was vacant and standing room was at a premium. Manager Kernan cmiled with satisfaction as the crowds passed in and Treasurer Balluff, in the box office, proved himself a lightning ticket seller. The at- traction was the Cyrene Vaudeville Com- pany, and all the people were warmly re- ceived. The only change from the pub- lished program was the failure of Cogan and Bacon to put in an appearance, but they were substituted by Arma Donahi and Madeline Morse, who gave a sketch in which both did some good singing. M’lle Milatta did a graceful serpentine dance, which had to be repeated, and then Baker and Beydell did an amusing comedy sketch. Cyrene and M’lle Tunour were seen in a well arranged pantomime, en- titled “After the Bull Fight,” in which koth did some neat and artistic dancing. It was the first time Cyrene had been seen Lere in a male character, and her shapely figure and craceful movements won the loud plaudits of the audience. Kittie Walsh made a hit in her Irish song and dance act; Cunningham and Staley gave a novel musical and acrobatic act; Raymond and Welsh were good in a burlesque gymnastic performance; Cyrene’s exhibition on the swinging wire was a remarkable performance, which took the hovse by storm, and M’lle Tunour’s work as a living pictute on the high trapeze was picturesque, daring and effective. A series of living pictures concluded the pro- gram proper, and then there was a supple- mentary performance in the summer gar- den, in which Cyrene gave the sensational Trilby dance. The whole entertainment was enjoyable, and the same program will be given all this week. Bijou Theater._Mr. W. H.
