MANY LIQUOR MEN Their National Convention About to Assemble in This City. THE OBJECT OF THE ORGANIZATION Delegates Present From All Sec- tions of the United States. BUSINESS TO BE TRANSACTED The lobby of the Ebbitt House was thronged this morning with prosperous looking men who smoked good cigars and exchanged views on the conditions of busi- ness—especially the liquor business—in the different sections of the country. They were delegates to the third annual con- vention of the National Retail Liquor Deal- ers’ Association, which will convene at the Ebbitt tomorrow morning for the purpose of discussing the interests of the trade in various states and the District of Colum- bia, and to incidentally have a set-to with the rising and forbidding figure of a They will also elect officers and haye a good time seeing the sights” and being enter- tained by the local members of the asso- claticn. Up to noon today the following delegates had registered at the hotel, many of whom, as indicated, were accompanied by ladies: Robert J. Halle and Mrs. Halle, Chicago; 8. L. Baker, Kalamazoo, Mich.; S. H. Car- roll, Jackson, Mich.; J. F. Garrity and wife, Chicago; Charles Berger and wife, Chicago; J. Mueller and wife, Chi- exgo; August Lueders and wife, Chicago; Henry Zoekk and wife, Chicago; August Nette and Miss Lena Nette, Chicago; C. F. Franz, Freeport, Ill.; John Glasser, Buf- falo; B. T. Kearns, New York; John Mc- Entee and wife, Jersey City; August Koeh- ler and wife, New Jersey; Mr. and Mrs. President Wm. Beatty. P. McArdle and Miss McArdle, Jersey City; Charles Sanens and wife, Philadelphia; Daniel Holland and wife, New York; Mr. and Mrs. John Morrisey, Syracuse, N. Y.; Jas. H. Buckridge and wife, Jersey City; Charles Bremer, Philadelphia; R. Patter- son, Philadelphia; James Sheridan, Bridge- port, Conn.; J. J. Hogan, New Haven, Conn.; John L. Schumacher, Ansonia, Conn.; P. H. Nolan, Port Jervis, N. Y.; Alvis Wolf and wife, Chicago; R. M. Kricker, Portsmouth, Ohio; Jno. P. Hughes, New Straitsville, Ohio, and Frank O’Don- nell, Asheville, N. C. ‘The others expected to arrive today are James H. Loughran, Asheville, N. C.; T. E. Wallace, Wilmington, N. C.; A. McGuirk and 0. 'C. Koehler, Davenport, Iowa; N. Schroeder, Iowa; T. J. Lalley, B. J. Martin and O. Danim, Minnesota; E. J. Granger, Ohio; P. S. Kuckenstein, Pittsburg; Chas. A S. Kelley, Michigan, and many others. New York Politics and Reform. The Chicago and New York delegates were most interested in the Sunday clos- ing movement which is threatened in the windy city, and already in force in Goth- am, and talked about it freely. Mr. B. F. Kearns of New York was asked by a Star reporter what the effect of Police Commisisoner Roosevelt's reform crusade would be politically. “Mr. Roosevelt's course has seriously af- fected every business interest inNew York city, and not alone the liquor trade,” said Mr. Kearns. “It has affected the rental of real estate on the main thoroughfares, and in other ways injured the pockets of the property holders. I have voted the repub- lican and democratic tickets, and am not a rarty man in any sense, but I believe the effect of ‘Roosevelt and reform’ will be to make the city, county and state of New York go democratic at the coming elec- tion.” Police Regulntion of Saloons. The general opinion of delegates from various parts of the country seemed to be in favor of equitable police regulation of saloons. Favoritism on the part of local authorities was the great bane of the busi- ness, according to one visitor. The polize would keep an eye on saloons whose own- ers were not in political or personal sym- pathy with them, and wink at violations by those who were. Consequently, there was no fair treatment, and the saloon Capt. W. J. Howard, Treasurer. keepers under the ban were compelled to do business on the quiet after hours and on Sunday, or lose the bulk of their reg- ular customers. ‘The delegates are a unit in opposition to the proposed increase of the beer tax a dollar a keg, claiming that they will have to pay the additional sum because the brewers would immediately raise the price. It would be impossible for them to raise the price of beer per glass or to serve smaller glasses to customers, hence they are determined to use all means to prevent such an increase in the tax.

John Sanford’s Death Followed Close- ly Upon His Marriage. It is more than likely that there will be a legal contest when the will or wills of the late John Sanford are filed. On one hand will appear his widow, who was a bride of only two weeks, while the dead man's sisters will appear on the otheriside. John Sanford was seventy-fout yeats old, and was employed as a watchman at the gov- ernment printing office. '"Enghged in the same office was Mrs. Florida T) Crupper, a widow, who has lived on this mundane sphere fully half a century. On her way in and out of the office she had seen the old watchman. In just whatiplace they did their courting Is not known. Two weeks ago they were both away from the office on leave. ‘The widaw waS on a sick leave, but her f{liness did’ not prevent her going over to Baltimore one evening. John Sanford went over on the same train, and when they returned she came gs Mrs. San- ford, and she was no longer a widow. The old man had lived with his elderly sisters, Mrs. Emeline Young and-Mrs, Sarah Camp- bell, at No. 46 I street northeast. They are widows, and were very much shocked pyien they heard of what their brother had lone. It is sald that the groom had celebrated his honeymoon with the use of liquor, and then the services of Dr. Crosson ‘were necessary. Thursday afternoon the old man died, and Saturday he was buried. Mrs. Sanford, it is sald, was appealed to by relatives to have his body taken. to the home of his sisters, on I street, but to this she would not listen. Saturday the funeral took place. There was a scene at the burial in Con- gressional cemetery. The sisters wanted the body put ip the vault in order, it is said, to have a post-mortem examination to determine the cause of death, but Widow Sanford insisted that the body should be put In the ground, which was done. It transpires that the sisters have one will and the widow has another. The widow's will, however, is dated only a-few days ago, and, it is said, leaves to her all his property, including 31,875 in the Wash- ington Loan and Trust Company and some real estate in Syracuse, N.

Snowden Had a Dangerous Slungshot. Railroad men in charge of a freight train on the Baltimore and Potomac road had a singular experience on the road near Ben- ning Saturday night and for a time they were of the opinion that train robbers had made an attack. Conductor Joseph Will- jams was in charge of the train, and he was surprised when he saw a young colored man climbing over the tender. The train had been cut in three places, and the train- men were considerably disturbed over the condition of affairs. - When the engine was brought to a stop the young colored man was turned over to Special Officer Hansborough, who is in the employ of the railroad company. William Snowden was the name given by the pris- oner, and the officers of the road took from him a dangerous slungshot made of a large stone tled in a handkerchief. From there he was taken to the police station and locked up. In the meantime the railroad man manip- ulated the danger signals and succeeded in preventing the passenger train from crash- ing into the freight cars that had been cut loose from the train in the way stated. The passenger train engineer had seen the signals in time, and no trouble other than a delay of ten minutes was caused. This morning the young galoged prisoner appeared in Judge Kimbalj’s court on a charge of vagrancy and dibpidien, and he entered a plea of not guiliy. = The court heard the evidéncelof the spe- cial officer and the rallroag conductor, who told of how the cars hadj,beem uncoupled and the delay caused. Conductor Williams told of the scene on the train when Snow- den climbed over the tender, armed with the slungshot. tol 91 When they had finished ghein: statements Judge Kimball called the @gfendant to the stand, and while he admitted abat he was on the car, he denied the eircumstanges as ae by the witnesses, 4, ,j “What were you doin, e train?” the judge asked him. . oa ' = “I don’t know,” was jis answer. “I wasn’t going to Baltimore.;, 4 had no reason to go, because I have a home. You know, judge, I have badfeelings in my “Have you ever been arrested?/’ “Yes, sir.” owanany, times have you been in jail?” ice.’ lave you not been in jail three times?” ‘I know of twice,” answered the prisoner, but I don’t remember the third time.” “Where did you get the handkerchief to use in the slungshot?”* “I did not have the slungshot,” he an- swered, “and I seldom have a handkerchief except on Sundays.” Judge Kimball said he thought that there should be a charge of concealed weapons preferred against the prisoner. On the charge of vagrancy and suspicion a sen- tence of sixty days was imposed. —_ The Evening Star for the full time the mystery story, “When the War Was Over,” is running, including back numbers, will be seat, postpaid, to out-of-town sub- scribers for 60 cents.

OTHER DISTRICT AFFAIRS —————— This morning President N. G. Ordway of the Washington Market Company, and Gen. William Birney, the attorney for the com- pany, had a conference with the Commis- sioners in behalf of the application of the company for permission to erect an iron stairway over the passageway and court yard on the north side of the market build- ing, to the upper story of the north wing of the building. They claimed that the right to use the passageway is in the mar- ket company, as appurtenant to the use of the market building, and that the right of the District authorities over it is only such as they may acquire in connection with the authorized public building on said reserva- tion, and it vests only when the District building is erected. President Ordway reviewed the history of the market company, and said he remem- bered distinctly the legislation concerning the erection of a District building. In 1873, he said, Gov. Shepherd had a force of men at work at the 9th street end of the reser- vation digging a foundation for the build- ing, when Senator Morrill drove along. The Senator stopped and asked what was going on, and being informed that it was the new District building that was being erected, he drove at once to the Capitol and found there was no appropriation. Whereupon, Mr. Ordway said, the Senator introduced a resolution stopping the work. The Ccm- missioners expressed surprise at this state- ment; Commissioner Ross adding that it was the first time he had ever heard such a thing. He requested Mr. Ordway to em- body in his written application for the per- mit a reference to the resolution referred to. When this is done the pap2rs will be sent to the attorney of the District, who will examine the law and make a report to the Commissioners. New District Building. The Commissioners will again make an effort to secure an appropriation for a Dis- trict building. In the estimates for the support of ihe District government next year they will urge the appropriation of $100,000 to commence the work of building a permanent home for the District. Also in their annual report to the President they will call attention to the necessity for such a building. The present quarters of the District government, although much larger than the old ones on Ist street, are already very much crowded, and the ques. tion of securing additional room is becom- ing serious. - Offer Accepted. The offer of Skinner & Burrows to haut 500 cubic yards of gravel, more or less, at 90 cents per cubic yard, from Bladensburg to Langdon, and spread the same upon the road has been accepted by the Commis- sloners. Samples of Liquor. Thirteen hundred samples of whisky and gin have been collected by the in- spector of the excise board from the places where liquor is sold in the District. These will be analyzed for the purpose of deter- mining what percentage is adulterated and what the adulterants are. It is pro- posed by the excise board to have the Dis- trict chemist do this work of analysis, al- thovgh with his limited facilities it will take at least a year to go through them all. The idea which was embodied in a recommendation to the Commissioners some days ago by the excise board to have Congress pass a law prohibiting the adul- teration of liquors, seems to have orig- inated with Colonel Bates. He believes that a number of the crimes that are com- mitted annually in the District are the result of some poisonous compound in liquors, which makes those who use it frantic. A, prominent contractor stated several Gays ago that he was positive that several of the crimes that had been com- mitted by his men were the result of gin that had been doctored. The excise board hopes to present the result of these analy- ses to Congress as an argument in favor of the proposed law. ———— THE COURTS.

These events have not been as many as usual this autumn, therefore the greater interest in the one tomorrow at the Russian legation, corner of 19th and I streets, when the household effects and rare old wines owned by Prince Canta- cuzene, who is about to leave this country, will go, piece by piece, under the hammer. Saturday last an inspection by card, under the auspices of Auctioneers C. G. Sloan & Co., who will conduct the sale tomorrow, filled the legation rooms with fashionables. Today the house is thronged again with people, and tomorrow morning the sale tegins. A parlor suite in Louis XVI style, mounted brass and ormolu, and the usual adcrnments of a well-finished foreign par- lor make a substantial collection well werthy the admiration it creates. Among the odd pieces which are always looked for at sales of this kind are a Louis XV ma- hogany sliding-top desk, three rure an- tique Dutch marqueterie wardrobes, one having the date of its construction, 1737, inlaid over the big doors, with their pon- derous locks; antique swell front bureaus, curio cabinets, two antique and very curious French wardrobes, a dining room set in ebony, with an ebony stand and Rus- sian samovar and empire tables and cab- inets. There are twenty beautiful rugs, Persian, Turkish, etc., various sizes, and thought by connoisseurs to be the gems of the whole collections. The Christofie plated were is particularly fine. The con- tents of the prince’s wine cellar, 3,000 bot- tles, will also be sold. In it are the choicest red and white wines, champagnes of such brards as Chatteau, Rauzan, Raband, Suduirant and Beycheville, with Spanish wines, liquors and brandies. Two or three dozen bottles of the wine made a tempting display this morning on the buffet in the dining room. Kitchen and stable necessities will also be sold. The sale be- gins at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning. a Se Burgiars in Her Room. Some thief entered the residence of Mr. Henry H. Molar, at 1353 Princeton street, this morning, and, after ransacking the house, succeeded in getting away with $0, which was in the desk of his daughter's room, on the third floor. It was about 2 o'clock that Miss Molar was awakened by a noise in her room, and upon looking up she saw a man about to leave with a large bundle under his arm, which afterward proved to be several dresses and cloaks belonging to Miss Molar and her mother. She screamed, and he dropped zhe ciothes on the second floor, and made his re- treat through the front door and disap- peared. ‘A search was made this morning to find how the intruder made his entrance, but everything was just as it was the night be- fore. It ls supposed that he stole in some time during the day and hid in the attic of the house. The appearance of a burglar mh Miss Molar’s room gave her such a fright that she was unable to leave her bed this morn- ing, being very nervous. ——__. The Board of Trade and Charity.
