At the meeting of the Federation of Labor last night, in compliance with a re- quest made in a communication from the secretary of the Street Railway Assembly, the federation voted to place the Anacostia Railway Con:pany on the unfair list. Complaint was made that a member of tke Bricklayers’ Union who is building a hkecuse has emptoyed non-union men to do the werk, afd the plasterers asked that the party be put on the unfair list, but in view of the fact that there is no precedent in the history of the federation for boycotting a member of a society of organized labor, the request was declined for the present. A committee was appointed to call on the alieged offender, and point out to him that his course in employing non-union men is not consistent with his professiod as a trade unionist. Credentials of the delegates from the structural bridge and iron workers and the lathers were received and the delegates oblisated. ‘The delegates from the Musical Assembly reported that the difficulties which existed for a long time among their members have been adjusted, and that a large number who had withdrawn from the organization have again united with it. The delegates from the Machinists’ As- sembly reported that there is no shop of their craft in the District where there are other than union men employed. —— SHAKESPEARE AND GEOLOGY.

Theie was a meeting of the Columbia Heights Citizens’ Association last evening, but it was a brief one, as about every mem- ber present was anxious to get down town to hear the election returmp. President M. A. Ballinger presided. The first business transacted was the election of the following new members: Charles F. Shoemaker, James T. DuBois, W. R. Bailey, Benjamin Rhodes, Rev. George F. Dudley and W. W. Finley. On the motion of Dr. Stavely, the commit- tee on streets was requested to call the at- tentton of the District Commissioners to the bad condition of the pavemerit at 10th street and Florida avenue, and to request them to have the pavement repaired. Want the Old Poles to Go. On the motion of Mr. Charles F. Calhoun, the executive committee of the association was directed to call the attention of the District Commissioners to the unsightly condition of Kenyon street, because of the continuance of the wooden poles erected on the electric street railway line. The com- mittee was also directed to urge upon the Commissioners the removal of the poles, and that they be replaced by neat iron poles in the center of the street, or the road be compelled to use the underground electric system. Upon the motion of Secretary Simmons, the association approved the plan adopted by the Commissioners for cremating the garbage and refuse of the city. Mr. Purman having called the attention of the association to the bad condition of Columbia street between 13th and lth, a resolution was adopted on his motion stat- ing that the improvement of the street was Imperatively needed, and requesting the committee on streets to urge ‘upon the Commissioners the speedy improvement of the street. Mr. Calhoun called attention to the in- complete condition of many lamp posts on Kenyon and other streets, and upon his motion the committee on lights was re- quested to ask the Commissioners to com- plete the lamps ard turn on the gas at the earliest possible date. Mr. O'Donahue, calling the association's attention to the lack of sidewalks on Kene- Saw avenue between I4th and 15th streets, the committee on streets, upon his motion, was requested to ask the Commissioners to either lay pavements or a plank sidewalk on that avenue. Mr. M. D. Jacobs stated that the Wash- ington and Georgetown Railroad Company was guilty of a nuisance, in his opinion, in allowing the cars to stand on lith street near the car honse. It was injurious to Property owners, he believed, and he asked the co-operation of the association in se- curing an adatement of the nuisance. Upon the motion of Secretary Simmons, Mr. Jacobs was added to the committee on railroads, and that committee was_ re- quested to confer with the District Com- missioners upon tho subject. Street Extensions. The secretary was directed, in issuing the call for the next monthly meeting of the asociation, to notify the members that the subject of street extensions would be called up at that meeting and that the associa- tion would be asked to further the efforts of the Commissioners in securing an ad- ditional appropriation for the carrying into effect of the plan of street extension. Secretary Simmons called the attention of the association to the inadequate water supply in Columbia Heights, stating that at the fire Monday night on Sherman avenue considerable jifficulty was experienced by the firemen in securing a sufficient flow of water. Mr. Simmons also stated that the fire alarm wires were in difficulty, failing to work. The committees of the associa- tion having such matiers in charge, he thought, had not performed their duties in the best possible manner. President Bal- linger also thought that the various com- mittees of the association had proven de- relict in their duties, and he remarked that if the members of the committees found that they were unable to attend to their duties they should so nctify the associa- tior that others might be appointed. He suggested that the secretary notify the members cf the various committees that the association felt that they had not fully performed their duties, and upon the mo- tton of Mr. O’Donahue the secretary was directed to carry into effect President Bal- Inger’s suggestion. ER AND NOT A DUEL. A DIN The Trouble Between Neville and Iturbide Came to an Amicable End. As was intimated in The Star yesterday, the trouble between Mr. Robert Neville and Prince Iturbide, which threatened at one time to lead up to a meeting on the field of honor, has been patched up and an alarmed and interested community may be assured that the chances of mortal combat or even mild bloodshed have been knocked out. ‘The differences between the two men aroused a good deal of interest within the sacred shades of the Metropolitan Club, and when the story was made public mutual friends of the aggrieved parties at once rushed into the breach and pointed out that dueling is against the laws of the District and is really a very reprehensible performance. Then, too, the principals were given also to understand that Detective? ‘Weedon and Horne were playing the sleuth hounds on their track, and that if either trade any bellicose movement he would probably find himself an occupant of a cold, damp dungeon instead of a warm, cheerful smoking room at the club. The seconds, also, instead of urging a duel, pointed out the disadvantages of a meet- ing on the historic dueling ground near Bledensburg, and, finally, Mr. Neville and the prince decided to bury the hatchet and call the fight off. Instead of going off and calling each other names, as two would-be belligerents did at Hot Springs, they cele- brated their reconciliation with a little din- ner at an uptown restaurant last evening. Now the members of the club are patting each other on the back, and congratulating themselves on the satisfactory outcome of the late unpleasantness. ———— TIRED OF MARRIAGE. Two Applications for Divorce Filed Today. For Maggie A. Collins, Attorney H. T. Wiswall tcday filed a petition for divorce frcm Willlam Collins. The parties were married here April 8, 1890, and have two chi'dren, a girl of four years and a boy of ten months. For two or three years, says Mrs. Collins, her husband was pleasant and agreeable, but becomi:.g, she asserts, ad- dicted to strong drink, she claims that he has since then cruelly abused her and hes habitually applied to her “every vile, pro- fane and indecent epithet to be found in a drunkzrd’s vocabulary.” Stating that she owns two houses, and that her husoand spends his earnings in riotous living and dissipation, Mrs. Collins prays that in ad- dition to the decree of, divorce, she be granted the custody and guardianship of the children, and asks that her husband be restrained from in any manner molesting her or interfering with her property. Attorney Wiswall today also fled for John H. Saunders a petition for divorce from Fannie Saunders. The parties were murried here December 20, 1888, and the husband charges that his wife willfully de- serted and abandoned him August 4, 1804. He also charges that Mrs. Saunders com- mitted adultery with one Oliver B. Lee. SS Anthropological Society. In the lecture hall of the Cosmos Club was held last night the first of this win- ter’s serles of lectures before the Anthro- pological Society. “Free Burghs in the United States” was the subject of a paper read by J. H. Blodgett of the bureau of education. Prof. Thomas Wilson read a paper on the “Antiquity of the Red Indian in America.” —* “Pennsylvania Railroad” more and Return.

The land purchased lies just to the west of the military cemetery and extends along the railroad about 2,600 feet, rearly to the»old Robert's mill property anc as far back as Hunting creek. The ground thus acquired comprises eighty-six acres and the price paid was be- tween $250 ard $300 per acre. It is under- stood that the compary Intends to begin at orce to grade this property preparatory to the erection of the buildings, and that over a quarter of a million of dollars will be spent in improvements ‘A plant for repair work is now owned by the company in Alexandria, and it is pro- pored by the company, as soon as their new site is available, to remove these old buildings and offer the property for sale. The purchase of the several tracts of land was made for the company by John B. Wight, real estate agent. Mr. Wight had the assistance in Alexandria of Samuel H. aes of the firm of O'Neal & Lunt of that city. ‘The erection of this enlarged and modern plant for repair wark will be followed by a@ concentration at this point of a great deal of the business of this character, which has heretofore been done at various places along the road, and in this particu- lar it is expected that Alexandria will be one of the most important points in the Southern railway system.

It contains many able players, among them be- ing Messrs. Robert Fischer, James T. Gallo- way, Earnest Lamson, Hamlin Garland, Al- den Bass, Augustus Wolford, James V.

Flynn and Sheridan's Big Sensation— Manager Kernan's attraction for next week will be Flynn and Sheridan's Big Sensation.

Zittella, queen of bur- lesque; Julietta Nelson on the high bound- ing wire; Snyder and Buckiey, expert musi- cal artists; the ballet of nations, by fif- teen coryphees, and Billy Farrell, assisted by Miss Willle.

Three more parttes:who have ignored the dog license law, incspite of official notifica- tion, had warrants/sworn out against them yesterday by Officer Sullivan. Two of the defendants are women of regognized means. It is now believed that all dogs in the West End have a right to live, the im- posed tax having been at last paid. The fight against the dog tax this year has been more steady than ever before. The great majority of owners refused to settle up with the government until the final Pressure of the officers was brought to bear. In many cases it was found neces- sary to swear out warrants. Officer Sulli- van has been particularly active in the forcible collection of the tax, and he has had many delinquents before the court. Growing Interest. The meeting at the Tenleytown Baptist Church last evening was a crowded one. The religious interest was intense. Mr. and Mrs. McFarland led the meeting. Ten asked for prayer and six professed con- version. The Tenleytown Baptist Church is becoming a big power in its section. Its influence is spreading widely. Rev. Mr. Mc- Cullough is proving himself a pastor of much executive ability, with the power to draw money to his side. His fellow work- ers are all laboring with unusual zeal. The congregation has greatly increased in num- bers. From comparative obscurity, the Tenleytown Church has, under Mr. Me Cullough, sprung into prominence. Fire Last Night. Fire broke out last evening in house 2900 Q street, occupied by Gen. H. H. Lockwood and Mr. W. B. Orme. The alarm was turn- ed in by Mr. Henry Ash, through telephone. The flames were active for a time, but were soon subdued. Not, however, until furni- ture had been badly damaged and the build- Ing made subject to loss. About $100 dam- age was sustained in all. ‘The fire is supposed to have originated through the existence of a defective flue. Noten. The water in the canal is now of sufficient depth to satisfy all the demands of naviga- tien. Full cargoes are now being put on. Orders which have been pending for some weeks are being rapidly filled by shippers. Schooners are arriving with accommodating regularity. Much of the coal is being sent to the upper Atlantic states. Arrangements are being made for another match game of polo between the Fort Myer and Chevy Chase teams. The contest will be fixed for one day next week, and will come off on the big drilling ground at the fort. Polo is catching on in this section, and is interesting more horsemen daily.

The best people in Washington have been secured to assist the students. * Three short sketehes, embracing refined and farce comedy, will occupy the main pertion of the evening. Prof. Ed, Hay, the principal of the institute, will contribute to the enjoyment. —___—_ Sealded by Hot Coffee.

C. Van Hoy, Mr. J. C. Leonard and other charitable citizens of Anacostia sent relief ta those found in need. Further steps in the matter were taken today. Members of the Street Railway Assembly have within the last day or two said that it is the intentfon of the assembly to put more wagors on their route between Anacostia and Hillsdale and the navy yard gate, and thus, as they claim, en- able themselves to compete more effectively with the railway line. They admit that the present effort to draw passengers from the cars is not wholly successful. It is claimed by them that Master Work- man Lawrence has had an appropriation of funds granted him for the purpose of keep- ing up the fight, but say that this money ts not at present available. It is further said that the drivers, having been connected with the Knights of Labor such a short time, they are not entitled to any stipulated sum from: the general treasury, and can make no claim for strike pay. Efforts are being made, or are, it is said, about to be made, to induce the executive beard of the Knights of Labor to make an assessment of 5”) cents on each of the mem- bers of the order throughout the country, which, if paid, would amount to $25,000 or $80,000—tnis to’be a fund with which to fight the Anacostia Railway Company, on the ground that if the Street Railway Assembly of Washington fails in its present struggle, the street railway companies of the city will unite in an effort to crush the assembly out of existence. In conversation with a Star reporter a few days before the lockout, Master Werkman Lawrence of the assembly said he was fully aware that inside of a year there will be a tg fight between the assembly and one of the other railway companies here, and that the assembly 1s even at this early day pre- paring for the conflict. ——_ Spe 1 Prayers for the Convention. In publishing in “fhe Maryland Church- man” the call for the primary convention of the new diocese of Washington for De- cember 4 Bishop Paret has added the fol- lowing: “It is a serious and solemn work to inaugurate a new diocese. It is a work of awful responsibility to choose rightly in électing a man to be made bishop. Ask God's help and the guidance of His wisdom. I request and appoint that the special prayer appointed for the times of conven- tion be used, with the verbal changes as directed, at all public serviges through- out tho’ present diocese of Maryland, be- girning with Sunday, November 24, and continuing until the primary convention of Washington shall have adjourned.” SRSAASEPEFORSESE TOS 9OCOSTERS Nerves Blood Are inseparably pend simp! solidly npon the latte If it is pure they are properly fed and t is no “nervousnes.
