LABOR'S COUNCILS Violations of the Eight-Hour Law Under Consideration. THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR Proposed Building Where Trades Bodies Can Have Headquarters. AFTER THE MARINE BAND The regular wéekly meeting of the Fed- eration of Labor, which was held last night, abounded in lively incidents. There were thirty-seven organizations represent- ed, and President James F. McHugh oc- eupied the chair. Among the leading questions before the body was that relative to the alleged vio- lation of the eight-hour law by Mr. Frank M. McVaugh, the contractor for the con- struction of the iron work for the ex- tension of the government printing office. A resolution was unanimously adopted that a committee of three be@ppointed to Investigate the charges made against Mr. McVaugh, and the chair named as the members of the committee Messrs. Milford Spohn, George 0. Cook and E. M. Blake. During the discussion of the subject the suggestion was made and approved by a number of those who spoke on the question that nothing further be done in the mat- ter until the return of President Cleveland to the city, and that then a committee com- Fesed of members of the federation call upon him ang ask the chief magistrate to issue a proclamation calling the attention of all government officials and contractors to the provisions of the eight-hour law, also that the same committee call on At- torney General Harmon and ask him tq see that the eight-hour law is enforced everywhere, and especially at the work now being done at the government printing office, that being the course adopted by President Grant under similar circum- stances. The decision was finally reached that this manner of procedure would be too slow, as it was probable that by the time the President and Attorney General shall have returned to Washington the work concerning which there is now dis- pute will be completed. The American Federation. ‘There was also a lively debate on a mo- tion to appoint a committee of five to con- sider the advisability of uniting with the American Federation of Labor, it being well understood by many of the delegates frcm articles which have appeared in The Star, as well as also from private informa- tion, that steps are in progress to form a branch of the A. F. of L. here. It was stated that the formation of the latter was practically a certainty in the near future, and as there are now a number of organi- zations in the District which are not affil- lated with the local federation, and which it Is reasonably certain will unite with the new central body as soon as the opportu- nity occurs, the present federation, unless it take: steps to get into the A. F. and L., if it shall be deemed advisable, after full investigation, to do so, might be placed at a, disadvantage. The motion was vigorously opposed, but finally was adopted by a good majority. The Marine Band. - The plasterers called up the question of their status with the Marine Band. At their request the federation indorsed a resolution adopted by the Plasterers’ As- sembly which declared “That we, the journeymen plasterers of L. A. 1644, K. of L., of Washington, D. C., do most positive- ly refuse to employ the United States Ma- rine Band so long as Mr. Fanciuili_ has charge Of the same, and earnestly call on all other labor organizations to do the same, We request the federation to adopt our course of action, and te urge all organiza- tions affiliated to do the same. We would further lke to hive this body, in conjunc- tion with D. A, 66, to take some action looking to the removal of Mr. Fanciulll from the leadership of said band.” Plumbers and Sieam Fitters. The knotty question as to the proper re- lation of the plumbers’ and steam fitters’ crafts to each other, and which has heen widely discussed in labor circles for the past two weeks, was not brought to the at- tention of the federation, the plumbers, to whom the matter of admitting the dele- gates from the steam fitters to the federa- tion was referred, not being ready to make a report. It is understood that nothing further will be done in the case ai pres- ent—one reason being that the steam fitters are allied to a national organization of their own trade. Meanwhile the delegates from the steam fitters’ association are kept out of the federation; but their members are not outlawed, and are permitted to work without interference from the plumbers. A Labor Building. ‘The committee on labor bureau made a report stating that it was possible to se- cure a building on F street which could be fitted up so as to answer the purposes of a headquarters for the labor bureau and the proposed library, as well as serving as the meeting place for the various societies of organized labor in the District which now meet in various places, and that even less rent than is now paid by each If ap- plied to the same purpose at the building had in view would leave but @ nominal rent to be assessed to the bureau and Ubrary. The committee asked that the question in all its bearings be brought by the dele- gates to the attention of their respective orgunizaticns, and also requested that each of the latter shall name a member of a board to have the permanent management of the bureau and library, the present com- mittee having been appointed by the fed- eration and D. A. 66, K of L., for temporary purposes only. It was stated that up to this time about 10,000 books have been promised for the library. >. The Moody Choir Reassembles. After the summer's adjournment, the Moody choir reassembled last evening in the First Baptist Church for its first fall rehearsal. The attendance was gratifying- ly large, and each member was supplied with a full share of enthusiasm. Percy 8. Foster wielded the baton, Mrs. Grace D. Brown accompanied on the piano and an orchestra, composed of Messrs. Baker, El- liott, Falmestock, Fitch, Pales, Henny, Lindsay, Nyman, Paxson, Perkins and Rudy, and Misses Knight and Yingling, was present. Announcement of the death of one of the choir's members, Miss Jean- nette Smith, was made, and the director was request2d to write a letter of sym- pathy to the family. Quite a number of applications for membership were received. Announcement was made of the annual re- union and reception, which will probably be held the middle of October in the Cal- vary Baptist Church. ——_-_— Pleasant Birthday Celebration. The studenis of Gonzaga College were given a holiday yesterday in honor of the birthday of Rev. Father Cornelius Gillespie, and the occasion was celebrated in a very happy manner otherwise. Father Gillespie recelved many congratulatory telegrams, letters and personal visits from members of the faculties of Loyola College, Balti- and Georgetown and the Catholic ties, and was given a dinner in the at which Father Barnum delivered 2 felicitous address. —————— Stole a Gold Watch. thief entered the apartments of A.

One of the first to line up before Judge Kimball in the Police Court this morning for trial was a well-appearing white man by the name of Arthur Pendleton, who was charged with assault upon Joseph Gordon. The affair occurred last evening on the Mayhew farm, near the Soldiers’ Home. According to the evidence in the case, Pendleton was sitting on the front porch when Gordoy came along very much under the influence of liquor. Without any prov- ocation he went up to Pendleton and vol- untzered the statement that he was going to do murder right then and there. He went into the house and get an old-fash- foned shot gun and sterted to load it ready for action. At first Pendleton thought the man wes joking, but the affair soon passed out of the realms of humor. -Then Pendleton went for that man in approved style. If he had only used some moderation about it it would have been all right, but instead of that. he pounded Gordon until there was very little left of him, and what there was had to be taken to the hospital to be bound up. The result was that when the story came out in the Police Court Judge Kimball imposed a fine of $20 on Pendleton. Great preparations are being made in literary circles of the District Epworth League for Friday evening, September 20, at Hamline M. E. Church. Dr. R. R. Doherty, Ph.D., third vice president of the general league of New York city, will de- liver an address on “The Literary Possi- bilities of the League.” Dr. Doherty is an interesting speaker and an enthusiast in literary work. A unique program is being arranged for the mass meeting in October. At the board of control meeting on the 4th instant the district officers were appointed a committee to prepare a program for the fifth annual district convention. The com- mittee had a meeting on the 1ith, and de- elded to holt the convention November 1, 2 and 3. Rev. Edwin A. Schell, D. D., of Chicago, general secretary of the league, will be present. Department conferences will be held, presided over by the district officers, of the respective departments. About 200 delegates will be present. The delegates from the country chapters will be entertained by the city leaguers. The program will be arranged and presented at the board meeting for approval October 2. Gone to Boston to Live. Mrs. S. Moore Sites left the city yesterday to take up her residence {n Boston, Mass. She was accompanied by her two younger children, Miss Elsie M. Sites and Mr. Fred. R. Sites, who were graduated from the High School here last June,and will now en- ter Boston University and the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology, respectively. Mrs. Sites has made her home in this city for the past three years, residing with her sister, Mrs. A. P. Lacey, on Columbia Heights. When Mrs. Sites returned from China on account of ill health, it was with the expectation of rejoining her husband, so soon as possible, in his distant field of labor, but the death of Dr. Sites, which occurred in February last, changed her plans. Miss Ruth Marie Sites, who went from Washington as a missionary to Foo- chow, China, five years ago, was in the midst of the recent demonstrations of mob viclence in the Fukien province, whereby eleven English missionaries lost their lives. Miss Sites has completed a most successful term of service, and is expecting to return to the United States on leave next spring. She will probably be accompanied by a Chinese young lady who has been educated in the mission college. —————— Regular Highway Style. Patrick McDonald was the principal wit- ness in the Police Court this morning against Ben Desmond and Tom Collins, two rough-looking characters, who were charged “with larceny from the person. Last Saturday night about 12 o'clock, as McDonald was walking along I street be- tween Gth and 7th streets southwest, he was set upon by the two men in approved highwayman style. They threw him to the ground, and inflicted injuries, the marks of which are still plainly visible on his face. They expected to get a goodly sum of money from him, but in point of fact Mc- Donald only had fifteen cents about him at the time, and that was all they got. There Was another witness to the affair, and when the story was told in court this morning Judge Kimball held the two men in bonds of $300 each for the action of the grend jury. —__-—__ Probable Settlement. _ By consent of counsel, the case of Annie E. Frazer against James E. Dexter and the Secretary of State has been indefinitely continued. This is the case in which Mrs. Frazer, claiming that Mr. Dexter is indebt- ed to her in the sum of $1,600, sought last week, by injunction, to restrain Mr. Dex- ter from collecting and the Secretary of State from paying him the sum of $2,500, as part cf the Mora claim. Judge Cox granted a temporary restraining order, returnable today. The continuance of the case today continues in force the restraining order, it is said, and it is understood that the con- tinuance was made in anticipation of a set- tlement of the case out of court. ——— Concert at the Barracks. The program for the concert by the band of the United States marine corps at the marine barracks tomorrow is as fol- lows: 1. March—“Under the Double Eagle,” Wagner 2. Overture—“Pique Dame" 3. Largo—From song in ‘CReopatra’ 6. (a) Gavotte—“Flirting” (b) March—“Light Artillery’ 7.

The Young Italian Social Club held a special meeting last evening and adopted resolutions of respect to the memory of Antony Giordano, a member of the club, who died the 16th. The club will not par- ticipate in the parade of the Italian socie- ties Friday on account of the death of Mr. Giordano. —.__ . An Incorporation. Articles incorporating the St. John’s Benevolent Society of the District of Co- lumbia have been filed by Charles Schafer, John Bamf. William Zamier, John A. Thomas, John Ferber and Eberhard Trus- heim. The association is formed for the mutual improvement of its members and to promote benevolence. —_—-——_. Kicked by a Horse. Michael Kivlon, nineteen years of age, employed as a jockey at the Alexander Island race track, was kicked by a horse yesterday, and received a severe lacer- ated wound of the left cheek. Dr. McDon- ald of the Emergency Hospital closed the cut with several stitches. 18, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. AFFAIRS: IN .GEORGETOWN Work of the Tempezanco Organisation of Young ‘Women.

Temperance Work. The Young Woman’s Branch of the Christian Temperance Union, attached to the Dumbarton Avenue Church, has begun to exercise a very perceptible influence. Its membership 1s composed of many of the strongest and most earnest workers in the church. Meetings are held regularly, and measures for the spread of their cause adopted and pushed with an energy indica- tive of much executive power. The lead- ing lights of the temperance cause in Washington are much pleased with the work going on here, and complimented the members of the branch in formal meeting night before last at the Dumbarton Church. On this occasion the great work of the white ribbon order all over the world was briefly told. In the cou! of the Rev. Mr. Stitt’s invited “words of encour- agement,” he spoke of the wonderful work the Catholic bishops have been doing- of late for the temperance cause, and hoped that the Methodists weuld not be outdone in this respect. Their work had already been vast, but yet much remained undone. The efforts of the Dumbartqn Avenue branch of the Woman’s Christian Temper- ance Union, he caid, were deserving.of the highest commendation and encouragement. cee aA 's meeting Miss Lightfoot pr sided. A short musical and literary program added interest to the meeting. Evangelistic Meetings. Next week a series of meetings of an evangelistic nature will be held at the Con- gress Street M. P. Church preparatory to the regular protracted meetings. Five dif- ferent ministers of thé gospel will conduct the services, which will be held every even- ing except Saturday. The preachers of the week will be Rev. Mr. Smith of Central Church, Rev. Mr. McCloskey of the North Caroling Avenue Church, Rev. David Wil- son, a retired chaplain of the United States army; Rev. R. K. Lewis of Mt. Tabor, Georgetown, and Rev. Mr. Backus of the Virginia Avenue Church. The meetings will be principallyeof sermcn and song. The attendance throughout the week will no doubt be large. About a Horse. A warrant was issued last night against Mr. Farley Veale, the liveryman, at the request of Mr. John D. Mason, it being charged that the former was unlawfully holding a horse belonging to the complain- ant. It appears on investigation that one Geo. Hilton recently stabled a horse at Veale’s until the board bill amounted to $26. Then Hilton sent him to Kengla’s pas- ture, on the Tenleytcwn foad, without sat- isfying Veale's claim. While at the pas- ture Elton found a purchaser for the ani- mal in Mr. Mason. The liveryman, hearing of it, went at once to Kengla's before a de- livery had taken place, and paying the charges against the animal's owner, .se- cured the horse and tool him to his stable to hold. Hence the warrant. Badly Hart. At 8 o'clock last night little “Bill” Lang, son of one of the proprietors of the M sireet Morgan House, was run knocked down by a horse attached to a sur- rey and driven by a colored man. The fix is the property of Mr. Charles. Tribbey. The little fellow was bruised jbadly about the face and head. Oflieer Conlon and others conveyed the unfortunate to 1078 32d street, where medical attendanee was given him. Notes. Yesterday afternoon there was quite a brisk fire at the home of the Misses Thomas, 3108 P street! The rear part of the building suffered to the extent of about $250, while the contents were impaired con- siderably. Horace E. Gaskill yesterday sold to Ed. win C. Clark lots 1, 2, 3, 8, 10, 11 and 12, block 5, of the Whitehaven subdivision, on the Conduit road, near the distributing reservoir. The trestles over the Foundry and College branches on a line with Prospect avenue, for the benefit of the Washington and Great Falls railroad, are just being completed. —_—+--—_ Benning Citizens. There being very little business on hand and, owing to warm weather, there was a slim attendance at the meeting of the Ben- ing Citizens’ Association last evening. Vice President Mewshaw presided, and after the minutes of last meeting were read and ap- proved, Mr. N. Keyser proposed Mr. Henry Heller for membership in the association, and, on motion of Mr. France, he was unanimously elected. Attention of the association was cailed by Mr. Keyser to the condition of Watch branch bridge, which, he said, was in a very bad condition, and ought to be looked after at once by the proper authorities. Officer Boland said it was the duty of the police to report such matters, and the chair instructed him to do so. Mr. E. F. Broome was appointed a com- mittee of one to get the receipts of the as- sociation, and after some discussion on minor topics the meeting adjourned. ae Heated Argument. It was not a case of “Johnny Jones and his sister Sue, and the little peach of emerald hue,” but it was John Jones, Sandy Hawkins and a very grecn apple. Sandy had the apple yesterday and evinc- ed a disposition to hog it all. Johnny asked him for a bite, but Sandy gave him the marble heart. They were very small col- ored boys, neither over ten years of age. “Won't you gimme a piece of core?” Sandy gaveehim the old-time song and dance about there not going to be any core in that apple. Then John “heaved a rock” at Sandy, which lald his head open to the skull. Beyond that it could not go. There are some things harder than a stone. It would have been better all around if the boys had gone share and share alike in that apple for in the Police Court this morning Judge Kimball fined Sandy $10 for the assault. —_——>—___ Marine Band Concert. ‘The following program will be rendered by the Marina Band at the concert at the Capitol grounds this afternoon, beginning at 4:40 o'clock: 1.

The semi-annual session of the Grand Commandery, United Order of the Golden Cross, convened last evening at Golden Cress Hall southeast, Grand Commander Orrin B. Hallam presiding. The following past noble commanders, duly accredited from their commanderies, were obligated and instructed in the fqurth degree: Mrs. Margaret C. Lamb of Good- will, E. C. Johnston and Mrs. Elizabeth 8. Dolan of Meridian, Mrs. Annie E. Allen of National, Mrs. Ida M. Harvey of Trinity, Fletcher S. Page of Potomac. The report of the grand commander was read. He urges greater activity in increas- ing the merfibership of the order, and rec- ommends the formation of new command- erles, and the holding of public meetings to further that object. The report of the grand keeper of records shows the order to be in good financial con- dition, and the membership steadily in- creasing. The report of the grand commander was referred to a committee on distribution, consisting of J. F. Kilgore, Bela W. Beebe and Mrs. Mary I. Simonds, who subsequent- ly submitted a report, which was adopted. The session was*principally devoted to the discussion of reports submitted by Past Grand Commander Ehle, from the commit- tee on laws and supervision. The Grand Commandery then ordered a recess until Thursday evening, October ‘3, at National Commandery Hall, Louisiana avenue. + EXCURSIONS. The Macalester will make her regular trip to Indian Head and Marshall Hall Thursday and Friday evenings. No Saturday trip, however, will be made, so that those who de- sire to take one more delightful ride on the, river will be obliged to make a trip this week or next, as the end of the season is closer at hand than many imagine. Everything is in perfect running order at Marshall Hall, how- ever, and the dancing at this time of the year proves to be a most delightful way of pass- ing an evening. The cool breezes that sweep across the river make life worth living to the hot and tired dancer who goes out to get a breath of fresh air after each dance. The music is just the same, and every care is tak- en of the patrons. ‘The second of the series of cut-rate fall ex- cursions was given last Saturday night to Norfolk on the steamer City of Richmond. The delightful experience of the former week was repeated. The weather just at this time is ideal for this trip; and the person who once goes will most assuredly go again. The boat arrived in Washington Monday morning at 6:45 o'clock. The third excursion will be made on Saturday, September 21, and the-steamer will leave foot of 6th street at 6 o'clock p.m. —__ Not Original With Wilson. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In a letter to The Star of September 14, headed “Not Lincoln's Own Words,” a cor- respondent points out that the words “‘gov- ernment of the people, by the people, for the people,” in the famous Gettysburg ad- dress, were not original with Lincoln. He attempts to further show that they were original with Henry Wilson, and were quoted by Lincoln from a letter written in 1860 by Wilson to certain persons in Bos- ton. In a speech delivered at the New England anti-slavery convention, Boston, May 29, 1850, by Theodore Parker, may be found the expression “a government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people,” the exact language, with the exception of one word, of that ascribed to Wilson and employed by Lincoln. But still further back had the same idea been expressed in substantially the same way by Daniel Web- ater in one of his most splendid oratorical efforts, whcse every phrase was familiar to all patriotic Americans. long before Par- ker uttered his speech or Wilson wrote his letter. In second speech on Foot's reso- lution, Janua 18%, Webster used these words: “The people’s govermment, made for the people, made by able to the people.”” The phrase discussed belengs no more to Wilson than to Lincoln. The words can no more be said to have been “quoted” by Lincoln from Wilson than from Parker or Webster. Lincoln was familiar with the writings and speeches of Parker; he had probably never seen this particular letter of Wilson's. That his language should be exactly the same as that of the latter was a _coineideace, but probably nothing more. The phrase was merely the expression, in the simplest, most direct language, of ‘the glorious yet popular and familiar idea of the Constituticn and object of our form of government. The expression cannot be as- cribed to any one man. Lincoln does not give the statement as a positive declara- tion—as a new coined phrase intended to add to his laurels as a public speaker, but uses the words as descriptive of our gov- ernment in uttering the resolve that it “shall not perish from the earth.” That some words of the speech had been said before does not detract from the beauty or grandeur of Lincoln’s address as a whole. His speech, which has been de- clared to be the greatest in the records of oratory of our own or any other country, was sc not because it was the labored and polished effort of a practiced orater, but be- cause of the greatness of the man, as a man, who uttered it.

Democratic Primary Over in Virginia Last Night. The democratic primary of Arlington district, Va., was held in the school house |” at Balston last evening, about sixty voters being present. Mr. Curtis Graham called the conventioa to order, stating the business before it to be the election of one delegate and one alternate to the county senatorial convention, which will meet in Alexandria the 19th of this month. Mr. James E. Clements was unanimously elected chairman of the convention, and on taking the chair made a brief speech, in which he eulogized Senator John W. Daniel, and expressed the belief that he would be re-elected. Mr. Frank Lynn was then elected secre- tary. After considerable discussion as to pro- cedure, a motion was made by Mr. W. W. Douglass that delegates be elected by the primary to both the senatorial convention and that for nominating a member of the house of delegates. Mr. Douglass’ motion was ruled out by the chair on a point of order, as not being within the province of the primary as de- fined in the call. ‘The meeting then proceeded amidst con- siderable confusion to the election of the delegate and alternate to the senatorial convention. This gave rise to a heated discussion as to the qualifications of voters at the prim- aries, the mode of challenging and kindred matters. Finally, a ballot was secured, re- sulting In the election of Robert R. Veitch as delegate over E. D. Brown by a vote of 82 to 17, followed by great applause. The position of alternate was filled by the unanimous selection of Joseph W. Fields. Messrs. A. D. Torreyson, Curtis B. Gra- ham and Joseph Fields acted during the ballot as challengers, appointed by the chair at the instance of the meeting. After completing the business before it the meet- ing adjourned. Owing principally to the detention of a number of its members at the democratic primary the meeting of the league, which was to have been held last night at the residence of Mr. Hines, did not take place. Several of the members, however, came together and discussed informally matters of general interest to the residents of the county. It was decided to hold a special meeting of the league in the near future to consider topics of importance. It was learned from a resident of Carlin Springs that the citizens of that wide- awake and progressive village are con- templating early organization for purposes similar to those of the league. ee City of Richmond to Fortress Monroe and Norfelk Saturday at 6 p.m. See advt.
