Bricklayers’ Union Considers the Brewers’ Trouble. The last meeting of the Bricklayers’ Union, No. 1, was very largely attended, and the proceedings were of great inter- est, while much important business was transacted. President Leon presided. The matter of the dispute between the brewers and their locked-out men was brought to the atten- tion of the union by the visit ‘of a commit- tee from Gambrinus Assembly, who made a statement in behalf of that body. The union, after full consideration and discussion, concluded to take no positive action in the support of a boycott until all honorable means have been employed to ad- just the pending difficulty, and with this purpose in view a committee of three mem- bers of the union was appointed to act with a similar committee to be appointed by the Building Trades Council, and these com- mittees will, it 1s understood, jointly re- quest the co-operation of the contract com- mittee of the Federation of Labor and se- cure, if possible, a conference with the master brewers. It 1s hoped to adjust the difficulty upon a basis that will be just to all parties’ interested. It was stated to be the sentiment of the organization that those of the building trades having more at interest than those of other crafts should make an effort to settle the quegtion at issue upon an hon- orable and business-like basis, and if this cannot be accompllshed, then definite, post- tive action will be taken, as the, union unanimously decided to indorse and rigidly enforce the boycott by imposing a fine of one Gollar per glass upon every member who shall drink the local product. Nominations were made for the officers of the union for the term commencing Feb- ruary 14, for which an election will be held at the next meeting, two weeks hence. During the meeting a telegram was re- ceived from the delegates of the union at Columbus announcing the final adjourn- ment of the thirty-first annual convention of the Bricklayers and Masons’ Interna- tional Union, which has beea in session In that city for the past two weeks, Paper Hangers. The anniversary of the Paperhangers’ Association was held Friday evening at the rooms of the Bureau of Labor and Work- ingmen’s Library. President Ashley pre- sided at an informal banquet, after which Speeches were made by Messrs. Dorsey, Cook, Thorowgood and Seay. Other fea- tures of a program were rende y Messrs. Robert Holtz, C. A. Malieng, ©. Ks Seay, J. F. Dorsey, E. F. Bechman, Henry Wells, John Thorowgood and J. F. Dor- sey. Mr. E. F. Cook was the pianist. Note: The Journeymen Watchmakers’ Assembly has made application to D..

Judge McComas has decided to grant a new trial in the case of Richard Burnbrey against the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company unless the plaintiff _re- mits $750 of the judgment of $1,000 he se- cured against the company within two days. Burnbrey, a colored blind man, claimed to have been unlawfully and forcibly ejected from one of the cars of the company. 5 AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Citizens Oppese Gambling at the Race Tracks. Large Mass Meeting Takes Action— . Other Local Notes of General Interest to Residents, The most enthusiastic mass meeting held in this city for years was held yesterday afternoon in the Southern Methodist Church. The church was crowded with some of the best citizens, who were there to protest against the present system of gambling at the race tracks in Alexandria county. It may be stated that the men present were not cpposed to horse racing. They were all Virginians and.liked a genu- ine horse race, but were opposed to the gambling. e The meeting was called to order prompt- ly at 8 o'clock by Rev. Theron H. Rice, who nominated Mr. Geo. R. Hill as chair- man of the meeting, and he was unani- mously el@q@§ed, and upon taking the chair Mr. Hill, in a few and well-chosen remarks stated the object of the meeting. He then called upon Mr. K. Kemper, who, in very plain language expressed his opinion on the race tracks and the way they are now being conducted. He referred to the char- jot race in Lew Wallace’s “Ben Hur,” and said that racing of that age could be look- ed upon with admiration, but that the rac- ing of today was not of that kind and should not be tolerated. He was followed by Mr. F. J. Pollard, one of the most prominent feed dealers in this city, who spoke of the injurious effect the race tracks had upon the young men of thc community. Mr. J. E. Supplee of Del Ray was the next speaker. He said, as he lived near the race track, he was in a position to see 2 great many more evils than those who live in the city. He had seen the old man and the young and heads of families who were members of the church going to the race track regularly. He closed his remarks saying that the meeting would end in creat- ing a permanent organization to fight the race tracks and gambling in all its forms. Rev, J. H. Butler was next called upon, and in a few well-timed re- marks outlined the Maupin bill, and said that the men who gambled at the race track were just as guilty as the negro who shoots his crap for a few paltry pennies in the alleys of the city. He further said that a great many of the business men had been intimidated by the race track people into signing their petition. He strongly ap- pealed to the people of this old common- wealth to stand by the gentlemen who had inaugurated this move against the race tracks. Mr. A. H. Thompson followed Mr. Butler, and said he hoped the meeting would “come down to rock bottom business,” and ap- point three good men to go to Richmond and appear before the committee. Mr. Lawrence Washington thought that thirty gentlemen should go, instead of three, for, he said, “in numbers there is strength.’ Mr. A. G. Uhler was next called, and spoke of the fll effects the race track had upon the young man, and cited an instance of a young man in Washington who had been employed in a bank and had robbed his employers to play the races, and would have gone to the penitentiary but for the fact that his father had made the amount of his shortage good. Rey. Clarence E. Ball, chairman of the committce to draft resolutions, was the next to take the platform, and said that the race track people claimed that they had spent $500,000 in this city. He laughed at the idea and wanted to know where that amount was if it had been spent, for, he said, he knew of no one who had received one dime of it that had not been almost given back to him in the pool rocm, He then presented a long resolution, which was adopted by a vnanimcus vote. Rev. Frank T. Benson read the following petition, which was sign. ed by almost every person in the vast audi- ence, which numbered about 1,000: ‘o the Honorable Legislature of Virginia. “We, the undersigned, citizens of Alexan- Gria, announce ourselves as unconditionally opposed to race track gambling. “We regard the race tracks of Alexandria county as licensed gambling in its most per- ricious form. “We most respectfully and urgently pet!- tion your honorable body to exercise the right vested in you by the suffrage of the reople to expel this evil from the borders of cur state.” The following committee was then named to go to Richmond and present this petition to the committee on cities and tow: which meets this afternoon: Messrs. J. Clinton Smoot, Geo. R. Hill, G-Wm. Ramsay, Theron H. Rice, J. R. Zimmerman, C. E. Ball, Law- rence Washington, Geo. S. French, H. R. Burke, J. T. Williams, J. F. Beckham, J. C Milburn, Henry Fields, J. R. Chapman, F. J. Pollard, Henry F. Robertson, Geo. H. Hin. ken, J_H. Trimyer, J. E. Supplee, John W. May, Oscar F. Carter, E. B. Kemp and Douglas Stuart. A Smull Fire. The alarm of fire about 2 o'clock Sunday morning was caused by the burning of an old frame structure at the corner of Royal and Orinoco streets. The entire fire de- partment responded, and in a short while succeeded in extinguishing the flames. The fire was evidently of an incendiary origin, as the steps and floors had been saturated with ofl. The house was formerly occupied by Alphonso Arrington as a bar room, and had been the scene of many a bloody figat. It was owned by Mr. Charles Strangman, ard was fully insured. The property was demaged to the amount of about $150. > Police Court. The police on duty last night report night as being clear and cool, with two prisoners and seventeen lodgers at the sta- tion house. Mayor Thompson this morning disposed of the following cases: Tove Dixon, colored, arrested by Officer Ticer, charge, drunk and disorderly, fined $2 or ten days on the gang; Joseph Leavell, col- ored, arrested by Officers Deane and How- son, charge, assault and beating Thomas Arrington, colored, fined $4, in default of which he will serve thirty days, City, Council Meeting. The regular meeting of the city council will be held tomorrow night in the council chambers in the market building. The bill adding four extra police to the present fcerce has been made the special order for the meeting, and it is expected that final action will be taken upon it. It is a hard matter to predict whether it will be passed or not, though the general opinion seems to be that it will, although the opponents cf the biil have for some time past been gath- ering data to show that Alexandria has in proportion to its population as large a po- lice force as any city in the state. Corporation Court. Owing to the absence of Judge J. K. M. Norton, who is in Richmond on business, the corporation court will not be in session until Thursday next, when the Sunday liquor sellers have been summoned to ap- pear to answer the indictments found against them. There are also a large num- ber of criminal cases to be dispo: of. Notes. Rev. Mr. H. B. Hemmeter of Pittsburg conducted the services in the German Luth- eran Church yesterday. In the corporation court Saturday Mr. Melvin J. Page was appointed and qualified as administrator of the estate of his father, the late Littleton Page.

Clark, One of the Old Ford Theater, Victims, Who For So Long Was an Invalid, Has Completely Recovered His Usual Health. After Two Months’ Treatment by Prof. Munyon’s Specialists He Was Cured Ago—H: Had an Hour’s Sickness or Lost a Day Since, a Year Never Mr. P. G. Clark, who lives at 1121 15th street northwest, is an enthusiastic admirer of Munyon, and no one of the many thousands he has cured has better or more cause for gratitude than Mr, Clark. Every citizen of Washingten, in fact, throughout the whole country, remembers the old Ford Thea+ ter disaster, which occurred three years ago; how many were killed and injured and whut misery, it brought to scores of households here. Mr. Clark was one of the victims of this. one of the greatest catastrophes in modern history, of this country. Mr. Clark at the time received @ scvere Injury fn the stomach, which gave rise to a chronic indigestion. Mr. Clark, fn his own words, says: “When I went to Dr. Munyon for treatment I had fully- given up hope of ever getting any relief and thought I must die, as I had tried five different doctors; none gave me any relicf; I could not keep arytbing on my stomach at all, no matter how light the diet; my skin became very sallow, and E Lecame so weak that I could scarcely walk; I lost weight until I was a mere skeleton, only, weighing 135 pounds. The physician did not. give me but very little encouragement, to place my: result that in Just two months I went to work, and have not lost a day since. I now weigh 176 Pounds, and feel xbout as well as I ever did.

Speakers Tell of the Crittenton Hope and Help Misxion. The rescue mass meeting, which was held in First Congregational Church yesterday afternoon in behalf of the Florence Cri tenton Hope and Help Mission, was @ splendid success in every way. The audi- ence occupied every seat in the large edie fice. The Y choir never looked more at- tractive in their Oxford caps and gowns, Miss Abbie Power presided at the organ, Mrs. La Fetra, president of the local Flor- ence Crittenton Society and of the Hope and Help Mission, presided, and,in opening, stated that her fullest hopes were being realized in the great awakening of public sentiment in behalf of the mission, as evi- denced by the vast audience present, and the speakers who had come to give such valuable assistance. Mrs: Kate Waller Barrett was introduced and spoke, briefly stating some of the peculiar needs of rescue work in this city, the close proxim- ity of the Division to the city’s principal Mine of traffic and the boldness of the houses advertising their traffic, some of the houses being as well known and familiar, even to Washington's best citizens, ag places of legitimate business. Mrs. Barrett introduced Mother Prindle, the matron of the New York Florence Crittenton Mis- sion—the mother of all the missions. With ler sweet, motherly face the audience was won, and as she told pathetic stories of ‘our dear girls,” as she tenderly calls them, she riveted attention. She said that Broth- er Crittenton not only cares for the girls with food and shelter and clothing while living, but all who die in the mission have Christian burial in the beautiful plat in Maple Grove cemetery, where many of our girls sleep, and above them a monument.to their memory, and upon it these words; “These are they which have come up out of great tribulation and washed their robes white in the blood of the lamb.” Mrs. Charlton Edholm, evangelist for the National Soeiety, spoke eloquently and ef- fectively in behalf of little girls who are stolen from their homes under pledges of honest and honorable employment—then taken to houses of shame and sin and death, from which there ts no hope of re- demption, save through such workers as Mr. Chas. A. Crittenton, and those who do the same work. A collection of nearly $100 followed, and monthly pledges of over $400 were given, ranging from 25 cents per month to $1, and from one to five years. A telegram was read from Madame An- tonette Sterling, the singer, that she would arrive last night, and will sing at Wesley. Chapel tonight at 7:30. ————— The Speed of the Electric Cars. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Anent the request of President Phillips that the electric cars of the Metropolitan road be allowed to run at a greater speed than ‘hat now regulated by law, it seems strange that Mr. Phillips should petition the Commissioners for permission to do that which many of his motormen do daily, To citizegs of South Washington it is no novelty to see a train come dashing alon, at or very near to top-notch speed. Thi is especially the case on 4% street, where the man at the motor appears to take particular pleasure in making “close fine ishes” with other vehicles. Pedestrians do not receive the same recognition, as @ jon with a wagon would probably Gamage the car, in which event the motor- man would possibly have to make good all injuries suffered by his car, or lose his position. On Saturday afternoon last about 5 o'clock a train coming north on the eet above mentioned was seen by the writer running at certainly a rate of not jess than twenty miles, if not twenty-five miles, an hour. Strange to say, on the car a police- man sat, seemingly enjoying the perform- ance of his friend, the motorman. Two friends of the writer, on the same afternoon, with stop-watches, timed the speed of several trains on the same street. From the south side of the mall, or the north side of Maine avenue to the north side of the mall or the south side of Mis- souri avenue, is a distance of 75) feet. This distance was made in a trifle less than twenty-eight seconds, or at the rate of eighteen miles an hour. Under these circumstances, why should Mr. Phillips ask for @ permit to increase the speed of his trains? OBSERV 3 ——_—_. A Member of a Famous Law Firm. Many stories are being told of Gen. Thos, Ewing and his public services. An inter- esting fact in his career, as brought out by Rev. Dr. A. W. Pitzer, who conducted the funeral services in Yonkers, was his organization of the law firm in Leaven« worth, Kan., of Ewing, Sherman & Mc- Cook. McCock was of the family of fight- ing McCooks of Ohio, and was killed at Kenesaw mountain; Sherman was Wm. T. Sherman. Gen. Ewing Was th survivor of the famous trio. Gen. Ewing was the first chief justice of the supreme court of Kansas, but before he had opportunity to show his ability es a judge the war broke out. He organized the eleventh Kansas volunteers, was i first colonel and was afterward promot major general. His heroic conduct at Pilot Knob saved the state of Missouri to the Union and had potent influence in the final termination of the great issues between the stated. After the war his outspoken and uncom- promising attitude on the subject of re construction separated him from the rey publican party, and caused him to defend President Johnson against impeachment.
