Gude & i ‘On, ae St _aT-12t "No Christmas and New Ye without,a hs the world Beware “COMMERCIAL DAY.” = ~ Arranging for th ebration of the Jny Treaty Cent nial, The arrangements are very nearly com- plete for the “American commerce banquet,” to he held in New York on the evening of ‘Commercial Day," December 19, to com- memarate the close of the first century of commercial lierty In America, as secured by the treaty negotiated with England by John Jay of New York. The chairman of the committee of arrange- ments, Mr. S. W. Fairchild, has announced the following names. as the speakers at the banquet: Senator Wiilfam P. Frye, on “Our Merchant Marine; Hon. Don M. Dickinson, on “American Commerce; Gen. Charles H. Taylor, on “The American Press,” and Gen. Horace Porter, on “The American Business Man.” The aim ts to have no important American industry, and no section of the country, without one or more representatives at this centennial celebration; and the acceptances thus far received give every assurance of suecess in this direction. The celebration will be distinctively commercial. Probably the gathering will represent a greater va- riety of American industry and manufac- tures and a larger measure of the nation's commercial magnitude and wealth than any smaller assembly in this country. The re- ception committee consists of some of the most prominent citizens of New York. . Dr. Chauncey M. Depew is chairman of this com- mittee. Speaking of the celebration, Dr. Chauncey M. Depew, who is the author of “Commercial Day,” said: “The historical facts to support this move- ment are pregnant with Interest and sugges- tion. The close of the first century of our American commerce should not pass unno- ticed, and the business men of to-day should bow their acknowledgments to the valued services rendered by the patriots of one hun- sdred years ago. Iam very much pleased at the favorable comments from the newspa- pers in all parts of the country on my sug- gestion that December 19 be recognized as ‘Commercial Day.’ Some of the papers seem. to be laboring under the misapprehension that I have made a m{stake in my date. The Jay treaty was not made ina day. From the time of Jay’s appointment until the ratifica- tion of the treaty by both countries a period of three years elapsed, but it was December, 1206, that Washington expressed to Congress bis approval of the treaty as a whole. “Some of my correspondents have asked, “What can be done on this day by the busi- ness men in celebration of these events? “Appropriate resolutions should be passed by organized commercial bodies. It would be most appropriate for the Jay treaty to be made a subject. for special exercises in the public schools on that day. The newspapers on December 1 could properly have articles on the subject;or the files of our newspa- pers of onesaundred years ago are rich with historical facts=not found in the standard histories. Public meetings should be held in business centers and orators selected to talk upon Ameniean commercial liberty and our interests generally. Our national colors should be unfurled on public buildings and ‘Commercial Bay’ banners and flags should decorate _factorte: tores and business offices everywhere. These are but few of the things whigh occur to me at the moment, but everything 48 appropriate that will im- press the gmportance of the day upon our people. The study of the struggles of our countrymen to eStablish our commerce will make us better business men and better sat- isfled with oar present condition. When one stops to reflect usion the wealth of this coun- try as compared with what it was one hun- dred years ago, the figures are perfectly be- wildering, and’ such an observance of this day througtiout the United States would, in my opinion, do much to start with fresh vigor our sluggish trade. The conditions were never more favorable for such a move- ment.” ———--+e. Lenoir Thought to “ce Crazy.

A formal welcome will be offered to the league on Thursday morning by President Edson and by one of the District Commissioners, and a _for- mal reception will be given in honor of the league at the Arlington on Friday night.

Dispatches Received at the War De- partment. Three dispatches relating to Indian trou- bles in Arizona were received at the War Department today. The ccmmanding off- cer at Fert Grant reported that on the perlodical “round up” at the San Carlos reservation, December 5, It was found that five Indian warriors belonging to Nosia’s band of Apaches were absent. Capt. Bell, seventh cavalry, was immediately sent af- ter them, to bring them In if possible. The commanding officer at Fort Apache telegraphed that “Old George,” who camps on Turkey creek, on the road to Sullivans- ville, is suspected of killing Mr. Merrill and his daughter. A detachment of troops has been sent to George's camp, and the Yndian police have been started out to as- certaln-if any strangers are on the reser- vation. The same officer later telegraphed that an Indian has been reported killed near buqu, Decem! by a party of five mri white men. They left a pack mule in the hands of the Indians, by which the party may be identified. A troop from the sev- enth cavalry has been sent to Investigate. ‘The War Department officials do not be- eve that there !s anything in these small events to werrant apprehension of any general Indian outbreak in Arizona. —-e+-—____ CURSED HIS BROTHER ADRY. The Ritter Words of Harry Hayward, the Minnespolis Murderer. Harry Hayward, who ts to dio this week at Minneapolis for the murder of Catherine Ging, saw his brother Adry for the last time sterday. They sreeted each other pleasantiy, and when the guards withdrew to some distance, engaged In an animated y person until Harry ra to say: “Now I have done my part. I have forgiven you for al you have done. Now yeu do as I as! “But,” returned Adry, appealingly, ry, how can I?” ‘The answer was too much for the prison- er. He sprang to his feet ani poured forth a tirade of abuse never before heard in the Jail. He clenched his ae naa Ps his rage stamped his foot fierce} Adry sat quiet for a few i ing the usetessness of wai longer, arose and started to go. “God bless you. Good-bye, Harry,” he called sadly, as he was avout to go duwn the stair: Jay the curse of God fall on you and 's, and allow me, from the minute I acon. from the scaffold, to hauat you day and night until your death. Then I will welcome you on the briak of hell with a red-hot iron." ‘These were the farewell words of Harry Hayward to his brother Adry. —_+e+—____. WHI Not Bulld a Cathedral. Bishop Nicholas of the Greek Church says the announcement that he has been in- stgucted by the holy synod at St. Petersburg to build in Chicago a great cathedral, cost- ing not less than $50,00), is @ mistake. He said: “I have received no such Instructions. The holy synod has taken no such action as in- dicated. When I was in Chicago I au-. thorized the priests there to build a church in the suburbs of Chicago, but, instead of costing $500,000, It will cost $5,000, That sum will Include the cost of the lot and the church. No member of the royal family will become the patron of the chureh. A great cathedral would be out of proportion to the needs of the church in this country.” Bishop Nicholas said that he had not esti- mated the exact number of believers in the faith there are in the United States, but would place ft at 50,000. In making this estimate he did not include Alaska, which would swell the number very largely. The congregation in San Francisco has several hundred members. The bishop concluded by saying that he did not intend to leave San Francisco. “WWar- and face was livid. utes, but see- oo ————_ No Welcome for Ahlwarat. At a meeting yesterday In New York of Lodge No. 38 of the Independent Order Free Sons of Israel, Julius Harburger, the grand master of the order, made an address in which he referred to the visit of Herr Ablwardt, the German anti-Semitic agita- tor, to this country. He said, among other things: ? “The visit of Dr. Ablwardt to our hos- pitable shores to engender and inculcate ant-Semitie doctrines will fall at the out- set. This fanatic, bigot ana allen, imbued with hatred for the Israelites from his child- hood, sets up a gospel of his own to preach on American soil, which {s in contradis- tinction to the fundamental principles of our great, free and most liberal government, The Jewish people ned no defenders on American soil.” —__—__+e+- Capt.

Proceedings in the Different Courts— ‘Some Timely Topics From Down the Potomne. ° Mayor Thompson this morning disposed of the following cases: Albert Thompson, arrested by Lieut. Smith, charged with stealing $100 from Champ Kemp, colored, hud his case continued. Ed. Beach and Saml. Lamb, arrested by Officers Dean and Skerwood, charged with disorderly conduct and fighting; fined $2 each. Lina Bolden, colored, arrested by Officer Young, charged with carrying a concealed weapon; con- tinued until 7 o'clock. James Henderson and John Chark, arrested by Officer Atkin- sen, charged with being vagrants; sent to the chain gang for ten days. Richard Car- ter and Joseph Churchhill, colored, ar- rested. by Officer Davis, eharged with disor- derly conduct; fined $2 each. Ernest Trav- ers and Wm. Arrington, arrested by Offi- cers Dean and Arrington, charged with be- ing drunk and disorderly, abusing officers and being vagrants; case continued until 7 o'clock tonight. Wm. Horton, colored, arrested by Special Officer Gentaberger, on suspicion of stealing a turkey; held’ for further examination. Harry Brown, ar- rested py Officer Ferguson, charged with smuggling w into the station hquse to prisoners Maggie Stuart and Louisa Pan; harged with disorderly conduct; fined $1 each, Not Likely to Succeed. It has been stated that at the meeting of the city council tomorrow night an effort will be made to bring up the matter of grenting; the Pennsylvania Railroad Com- pany the right to Iay arother track on Fayette street, so as to amend the meas- ure, as it passed the city council, to make it more unobjectior able to the railroad peo- ple. It is hardly thought, however, that the move, if made, will be successful, as a large majority in the lower board has shown that it is opposed to any further amendments to the bill, without it is to re- quire more of the railroad company for the use of the street. Rendy to Argue the Case. Messrs. Samuel G. Brent and E. B. Tay- ler, the attorneys for the city in the case which i3 to decide the legality of the thir- ty-third seetior. of the city charter, are now fully prepared to argue the legal questions in the case when it comes up before the state court of eppeals at Richmond about January 3. They fully expect a victory for the city. This case is one of consideravle interest to the people of Alexandria, as it xcverns all street improvements that have heretofore teen made. If the thirty-third section is declared illegal it will take some time to arrange a new law for street tm- plovemert work, and much improvement werk will be délayed. . Cirenlt Court. In the circuit court of the city Saturday, Judge C. E. Nicols presiding, the following Lusiness was done: Richard S. Windso, ex- business was done; Richard 8S. Windsor, ex- fleda y bond in the sum of $50,000. Theo. ‘Teed agt. W. H. Smith et al.; bill dismissed. The court then adjourned for the term. Wants a Divorce. In the corporation court Saturday Mr. Eugene B. Taylor filed the depositions taken by him in the suit for divorce made by Mrs. Henrietta Bentley against D. J. Bentley. The ground for the application is desertion. It is thought that the case will come up for a decision at the January term. Notes. The police have been instructed to notify certain young men who have no employ- ment, but who are under suspicion, to either go to work or leave the city, else they will be treated as vagrants. Mr. Thomas Baggett, who lives near Pot- ter’s Hill, In Fairfax county, while out hunt- ing a few days ago, accidentally shot him- seif in the foot. James, alias Barney, Richards, who was sentenced to forty days on the- gang Fri- day, made his escape Saturday mornin but was later caught in Washington and brought back to this city. The mayor gave him ten days additional, and ordered that he be heavily balled and chained. Rev. F. ‘. Benson preached a special fermon to men yesterday afternoon tn the M. P. Church at 4 o'clock, which was largely attended. Mr. Dailey, a well-known dairyman of this city, had his leg broken by a kick from a horse a day or two ago. The small boy and his horn, the usual fererunner of Caristmas, have made their appearance on the streets. ‘There will be a meeting of the Business Men's League tonight at the Relief Hook and Ladder house on Prince street. Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Fisher have re- turned hame from a two weeks’ wedding tour through the west. They will make their home on North St. Asaph street near Queen. Mr. Charles J.

Several Deaths Caused by an Upset in ipper New York. ‘Three men were Killed and two more in- jured yesterday by the ditching of an engine on the New York and New Haven railway in upper New York. The killed are: Thomas Fitzgerald, engineer, thirty-eight years old; Frederick Maples, forty years old, brake- man; Thomas C. McNally, forty years old, brakeman. The injured are: Thomas Ban- non, conductor, cut and scalded; Thomas McKeon, fireman, cut and scalded. All of the killed and injured were resi- dents of New York city. The accident oc- curred between 132d and 1334 streets. The engine, No. 76 of the company’s equipment, Was used as a switching engine and was bound east to Van Ness station with its crew of five men. The location of the acci- dent was at a short curve and it could not be ascertained who was responsible for the trouble. Everything was in its proper shape, apparently, and the engine and its tender were proceeding along at the usual speed, when, without any warning, the engine left the track and went bumping along over the ties. Bannon, the conductor, and McKeon, the fireman, leaped for their lives at the moment the engine toppled over across the west- bound track, and before the others of the crew were able to save themselves from being crushed beneath the weight of the boiler. All of the bodies were crushed and scalded, death evidently having been instantaneous. Fitzgerald's head protruded through the window of the engine's cab, and he was sit- ting on his seat at his duty when the acci- dent happened. ee FLED FOR THEIR LIVES, Two Hundred Workmen Driven by Fire From a Soap Factory.

It was four stories high and brick, The capacity will be somewhat re- duced, but the reduction will be only tem- porary, as the work of rebuilding will be commenced immediately.

HISSMAIER’S ASSASSINATICN His Relatives Dissatisfied With the Ao- tion of Minister Baker. i Indemnity Wanted for the Estate That Wax Confiscated by the Nicaraguan Authoritics., Representative Lacey of Iowa had an in- terview with the officials of the State De- pertment Saturday morning in regard to the case of Joseph Hissmater, s former resi- dent of Chicago, who was assassinated at Matagalpa, Nicaragua, in Octeber, 1804. The friends cof the deceased have bean !n- vestigating this case for a year, as Mr. Hiss- maler’s absence from his home was a mys- tery until the news of his violent death was recently received from Mr. Baker, the United States ministerto Nicaragua. Minister Baker's Dispatch. In his dispatch to the State Department Minister Baker said that Hissmaier was assassinated and robbed at a coffee planta- tion near Matagalpa in October, 1894. “No papers were found giving information as to his citizenship, but he was supposed to have been a naturalized American citizen,” says Minister Baker. “After his death, at my request, there being no American consul at Matagalpa, Mr. Charles T. Manning was appointed as cu- rator of the small estate and the govern- ment of Nicaragua indorsed the appoint- met.” When Mr. Manning applied for pos- session of the property his request was de- tied unless he was able to prove Mr. Hiss- maier had been a citizen of the United States. This proof Manning could not fur- nish, therefore the native authorities ap- propriated such property as was found. “I understand $220 in gold, a small piece of land near Matagalpa, which Hissmaier purchased fcr $400, and a mule and a few Rese comprised his estate. It is believed be had a much larger sum of gold, but no one seems to know what became of It. “The chief of the assassins was lynched and hung to a tree, and those charged with the lynching were not convicted.” Indemnity Asked. Dr. Henry Gelger, brother-in-law of the deceased, is dissatisfied with the action of Minister Baker in the matter, and he has enlisted the services of Representatives Lacey and Ccoke ir an endeavor to secure indemnity for the confiscated estate. It is alleged that the estate would never have been confiscated if Minister Baker had taken the proper steps to obtain proof of the citi- zenship of Hissmaler, which could have been eesily supplied by his-relatives in Chi- cego if it had been applied for. It is said that the present complication would not ex- ist if the minister had promptly reported the death of Hissmater instead of delaying bis report until after the Nicaraguan au- thorities had taken the property because of the absence of the necessary proof of citizenship. It ts probable that the Nica- raguan government will be asked to com: pensate the heirs of the deceased for the loss of his estate as an act of comity in view of all the circumstances. —____ + 2 +—_____ DR. SATTERLEE’S WORK. He is Reluctant to Leave It to Aceept the Office of Bishop. From the New York Herald. It is doubtful if the Rev. Dr. Henry Yates Satter.ee will accept the bishopric of the new diocese of Washington, to which he was eleéted Friday by the convention held at Washington. Dr. Satterlee fullr appre- ciates the honor done to him, but he dis- likes to leeve New York, and ts especially loath to sever his connection with Calvary Church, of which he has been rectof since 1882. “My work here,” said he last night, “is among the poor. The mission of the Epis- copal Church is among the poor as much as it is among the rich. I have not re- ceived formal notification ef my election yet, and I cannot say what I will do. “The position offered me may have as many responsible duties for me, to perform as the one I now occupy. I can tell about that later.” Dr. Satterlee is a tall man of stalwart frame, and about fifty years old. His voice is well modulated and pleasant, and bears indication of great power. In early life he wanted to be a soldier, and his eyes twin- kled last right as he spoke of his military ambitien. His father would not consent to pis going to West Point until he had grad- ated from college, so he entered Columbia, under the advice of Dr. Anthon, the cele- brated Grecian. During his senior year he made applica- tion to twenty-two representatives for an rppointment. The private secretary of one of the representatives asked him how much he would give for the place. “Not a red cent,” replied young Satterlee. “We've already been offered $500,” said the secretary, and Satterlee went away in disgust, a little displeased with the idea of becoming an attache of the government. After being graduated from Columbia the young man entered tae General Theologi- cal Seminary, though he knew so little about church ‘matters that he had difficulty in finding the institution. Then he went to Wappingers Falls. There he was assistant to a rector who was born before the revo- lution. After seventeen years of service In the little tcwn, he accepted a call to Cal- vary Church, in 1882. Here the blecd which made him desire to lead the life of a soldier began to tell, and he commenced to labor among the poor, He believed that it was not a good work to furnish anything to the poor free, except the gospet He wanted the men in whom he teok an interest to be self-supporting, to keep their manhood and be independent. On this principle the church established the Galilee Missicn, a coffee house, a lodg- ing house, a reading room, schools and a club room for boys. No members of the church aré ever asked to subscribe funds for the maintenance of these institutions, as they are all self-sup- porting. “At our coffee house,” said Dr. Satterlee, “we feed 600 persons a day. If the average fell much lower than that we would be forced to close, as it would no tonger be self-supporting. “As to the bishopric, it Is easy to see why I hesitate. I am a New Yorker through and through, and was born two blocks from the Battery. I should hate to leave the city, and I should be especially sorry to sever my connection with our lodging house and eating ades —_ arg tet men under our care, starting ow! hard all day on a breakfast of two griddle cakes and a cup of coffee. I am interested in all of them, and I don't want to part with them.” ———— International Himetallie Conference. A dispatch from Paris says that the French Bimetallist League has convened an international conference, which ts to meet on Decamber 10, continuing until December 12, to agree upon the terms of an appeal to the respective governments to renew nego- tiations for an International agreement for the use of both gold and silver as money metals. Representatives of England, Bel- gium and Germany will attend.
