The Protective Street Railway Union will, it is understood, have several matters of importance to consider at their meet- ing tonight. Among other matters is a cir- evlar issued by President Griswold of ‘he Anacostia Railway Company, a copy -of which was yesterday given to each driver of that line. The circular says: “Will you kindly give your views by re- plying to the following: “1. Which would you consider the best service to the public—(a) two-horse cars every twelve minutes, or (b) one-horse cars every six minutes? “2. What do you consider the greatest good to the greatest number—(a) the em- ployment of seventy-six men at low wages, (b>) thirty-eight men at fair wages or (c) nineteen at good wages? “3. In reducing the number of cars and of your employes, how would you do it— (a) by drawing lots, (b) by taking alter- nate names, (c) by retaining the oldest, (a) by retaining those who had best served you? “4. What, In your opinion, is the cos} of operating a car a day of ten hours, single mile run, (a) two-horse car, equipped with driver and conductor; (b) one-horse car, equipped with driver, hill boy and horse; (c) what a day’s work in miles for the two horses; (d) for one horse; (e) how much do you think a $100 horse depreciates in a year’s railroading? ‘5. Do you believe in open,’ secret or no Inspection? “6. Do good-looking drivers in uniform, (b) well-kept horses, (c) clean cars induce riding? “7. Do you think you should be entitled to a profit or earnings upon any money you have—(a) if you put it into a house and rented the house, (b) with a stock of goods and sold them, or (c) loaned it to a friend to do the same with? “By answers to the above and returning it to the writer on or before the 2ist of September, 1895, you will oblige “Your obedient servant, . A. GRISWOLD.” When asked about the object of the cir- cular, Mr. Griswold said it was simply to obtain the views of his men on various questions of railway management. The men have, however, become greatly alarmed, and will, it is understood, not make an effort to answer the questions, preferring to have the Railway Union wrestle with the matter, and President Lawrence make a reply for them. ——>_—_ GOLDEN EAGLE KNIGHTS. Preparing for the Sexsions of the Supreme Castle Next Month. A regular meeting of the committee on reception of Supreme Castle, Knights of the Golden Eagle, was held last night at the office of Charles H. Bauman, 323 4% street northwest, one of its members. A large attendance was present. At a pre- vious meeting it was decided to allow the leutenant general, Louls E. Stiltz of Phila- delphia, who commanded the military branch of the order; to take entire charge of the parade, which will take place in the afternoon of Tyesday, October 8. It is ex- pected that at least 10,000 uniformed knights will. be in line. The line of march will be as follows: Start crom 2d street and Pennsylvania ave- nue northwest, up the avenue to 14th street, up 14th street to F, passing in review be- fore the members of the Supreme Castle, whose headquarters will be at the Ebbitt House; along F to 15th, thence north to the avenue, and thence west on the avenue to 1th, countermarch and pass in review be- fore the President, and thence down the avenue to 8th street and then be dismissed The committee last right decided to issue a circular requesting the business men along the line of march to decorate their business places, espeially in view of the fact that no subscriptions have been asked from any source outside of the order itself. Only two more regular meetings will be held by the committee prior to the meeting of the supreme body, and hence there are many details to be looked sfter. ‘This will be the sixteenth annual session of the Supreme Castle, which several very important amendments to the supreme constitution will com2 up for consideration, and indications point to a breezy session. The election of supreme, officers will take place, and it is said that several changes will be made. The scssion will last for three days, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs- day, and pessibly longer, if found neces- sary to conclude all the business which may come before the body. In 1886 the total membership of the order was 12,013, The report of the supreme master of records at this session will show a membership of 65,000, an increase of 440 per cent in nine years. —_.___ An Honest Old Pensioner. Dispatch to the New York Post. The state auditor has recelved an ap- plication for a pension from a most inter- esting character, viz., Elijah Walker, a well-known citizen of Moore’s Zreek town- skip, Pender county, N. C. Mr. Walker is now one hundred and one years old (his age is duly recorded), and he enlisted as a volunteer in the confederate service when sixty-seven years old, although past the age of exemption from military service. He ,fought all through the war and was severely wounded several times, having been shot in both hands, which latter Wound partly disabled him. Notwithstanding this fact, however, he has refused to accept the ‘pension he was entitled to from the state, on the ground that he “did not think it right as long as he was able to support himself.” Now, however, he says that he is no longer able to “make a liv- ing,” and he has applied for the pension for the future, but for no “back arrear- ages.” His application was promptly granted, and, as the auditor remarked, “It is refreshing to meet with such a case, in these days of pension sharks and swindlers.” THE WORLD OF SOCIETY A Pretty Wedding Today at St John's Church. | Pleasant Mention of Fienasant People— Comings and Goings— , Personals. The chancel of St. John's Church was set with palms and foliage plants and the altar decked with tall bouquets of yellow asters today at noon for the marriage of Miss Lula Ketner and Mr. Raymond Hayes of Boston.

The bride was gowned in a superb white brocaded satin. The high bodice had a pointed yoke of pleated chiffon, and was trimmed with orange blossoms. A wreath of orange blossoms held her vell, and her bouquet was of white roses and orchids. The bridesmaids wore white organdie, with lace yokes, run with narrow yellow rib- bens, ard yellow satin ribbon sashes with long streamers. Their Leghorn flats were trimmed with yellow roses and follage, and their shower bouquets were of yellow roses also. After the ceremony a wedding breakfast followed at the Ketner residence on 17th street. During the afterncon Mr. and Mrs. Hayes started off for their wedding trip, and upon its conclusion they will go to Boston to reside.

THE MINER BUILDIN Dr. Reyburn’s Views ax to Its Occu- pancy by Colored Schools, A letter sent to the District Commission- ers by Dr. Robert Reyburn says: “The daily papers inform us that a petl- tion has been presented to your honorable bedy protesting against the reoccupancy of the Miner sckool building by the chil- dren of the colored schools. “These petitioners ignore the fact that the Miner school building was erected from mcrey which was donated for the express rurpcse of educating the colored youth of the District In the higher branches. “An ex-school trustee, Mr. T. H. Brooks, who is familfar with all the facts, has fur- niched me with the following statement: “The Miner school house, 17th street north- west, was erected by the Miner fund trus- tees upon an agreement made between the District Commissioners and said trustees August 16, 1877. ‘The building was erected upon plans and specifications approved by the board of trustees of the public schools. The District government paid no amount whatever for the construction of the build- ing or purchase of the ground. An arrange- ment was entered into for the District gov- ernment to rent the building for public school purposes, and the amount of rental paid to be expended by the trustees to pay the prirelpel teacher of the Miner Normal Ran “It_is scarcely credible, therefore, that the Commissioners will grant the petition- ers’ request, for to do so would be a direct breach of trust, and frustrate the object of the donor in making the bequest. “Should this school be permanently alien- ated from the uses for which it was built the question would arise whether the heirs of the Miner estate could not by sult at law reccver exemplary damages to the full amount of the bequest from the District Commissioners for thus violating thelr trust.” —-—_—_ Real Estate Transfers.

A Newsboy’s Novel Enterprise. From the San Francisco Call. A. Bienkowski, the newsboy, has an idea. He has retired from the business of selling daily papers and will enter into competi- tion with the phonograph exhibitors. After five years of strict attention to his own business, the young man has accumulated enough capital to place himself in the way to see the world and gather in a margin on his investment. His phonograph will talk in thirty-nine different languages, and he proposes to entertain his patrons with a novel exhibition that will give them an idea of the variety of the uses to which the aspirates and the gutturals and other expressions of the human throat may be put. He has picked up here in cosmopoli- tan San Francisco a native of each of thir- ty-nine countries and induced them to talk into his machine. Now he expects to hear the nickels dropping when he gets his Babel in operation.

Just after passing over King street, either a bad, rail or a coupling pin was struck, for the engine left the track and before it could bé stopped had crashed into a barber shop run by Charles Nickens and completely demolished the front of the building, as well as all of the chairs, mir- rors, &c., in the shop. The building was an old-fashioned brick, and fortunately no one occupied the upper portion, and the shop had been closed fully an hour.
