Dead Body River—A Sunday School Celebra- Recovered From the tion—Other Matters of Interest. An affray occurred last evening in Catcn’s alley between two of the colored residents which is apt to result fatally. Leonard Randolph was the victim, and Elsie Tibbs the aggressor. Caton’s alley is located in what is known as Frog Island, being the eastern bounds of ‘Bos- and is between West Market space, d street, M street and the canal. The men were in the house of a female friend, where the troubie started. After the men got outside the quarrel lel to blows, and Tibbs securing an ax struck Randolph a stunning blow over the head with the blunt end of the weapon, crush- ing in the entire front of the skull. As soon as the murderous blow was struck Tibbs made his escape, while the people in the alley called on the police to render assistance to Randolph. The Injured man was placed in the patrol, and driven rap- idly to the Emergency Hospital, where an examination of the injuries showed the skull to be badly fractured, making an almost necessary fatal wound. Tibbs is a savage negro and lived in the neighborhood. He is well known to the police, and has mainied several people in the course of his career. He suce: fully eluded arrest until this morning about 7 o'clock, when Policemen Maher and Har- riscn came across him, and, after a lively chase, arrested him and locked him up. He will be held to await the extent of the in- juries of Randolph. Recovered From the River. The body of Wilbert Handy, the young colored man who was drowned in the Po- tomac at the foot of 30th street, Sunday evening, as stated in The Star yesterday, was recovered about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon by James Fairbanks, Buck Riggs and William Healer, who were in a boat dragging for the remain: The body was taken to the seventh precinct morgue, and Coroner Hammett notified. Later in the evening the coroner appeared at the sta- tion, but after hearing the testimony of several of Handy’s companions at the time of the drowning decided that an inquest was unnecessary, and gave a certificate of death due to accidental drowning. In the evening the body was removed from | the morgue to the home of Mr. Murphy, on Olive street," between 27th and 2sth streets, a foster father of the deceased, from whose house the funeral will be hetd. | Tenleytown Baptist Church. The big day of the year came off Sunday at the Baptist Church of Tenleytown. It was Children’s day. The little folks were out in large numbers and did well with their recitations, dialogues and singing. ‘The church was tastefully decorated with flowers and evergreens. The following chil- Gren took part in the interesting exercises: Miss Ananda Hurley, Miss Mollie Wendall, Miss Amanda King, Maggie Sparshot, Ella Davis, Virgie Davis, Florence Williams, Annle McCobb, Clara Johnson, Mattie King, Girtie Johnson, Myrtle Phillips, Rhea Pum- phrey, Girtie Jones, Ralph Smith, Amand Queen, Virgie Harding, Eugene Harding, Amy Harding, Mattie Phillins, Bessie How- ser, Annie Wendall, Della Howser, Annie Hunter, Florence Jones, Mamie Riley, Hei- len Berga, Lula Johnson, Elsie McCobb, Ethel Burrows, Bessie Howser and Eugenie Howser. ‘Four new members were received during the month into the church. Public Not Present. ‘The annual commencement of the junior department of Georgetown University was held last evening iu the Gaston Memorial Hall of the university. Heretofore the ex- ercises have been open to tke public, but this year a depariure from the rule was made and the public excluded. There was a large number of people at the place anxious to gain admittance, and they were considerably disappointed. The closing ex- -ercises were simple and consisted princi- pally in the reading of the marks for the year of the successful students and the awarding of the premiums given to the junior department. The students marched into the hall in a body and no persons out- side of the faculty were present. Notes of Interest. Rev. W. C. Alexander, D.D., pastor of the West Street Presbyterian Church, has returned from a trip to Easton, Pa., where he went to attend the commencement ex- ercises of Lafayette College. At the annual meeting of the alumni of the college Rev. Dr. Alexander was unanimously elected president of the association for the ensu- ing year. On his trip to Easton Dr. Alex- ander carried with him the applications of his son, L. R. Alexander, Robert Leech and H. C. McCartney, graduates of the Western High School, who will begin the course of studies at Lafayette next fall. Dog poisoners have caused the death in the last two nights of a fine shepherd dog beionging to Mr. Edwards of 84th and Q streets, and the big Newfoundland of Mr. Henry Caesar of the same neighborhood. Mr. Edwards’ imported English setter nar- rowly escaped death. His condition was discovered shortly after poison was admin- istered, and an antidote successfully ap- plied. On the night of the Edwards poison- ing @ mf&n was seen to leave the premises, and chase was given, but he eluded his pur- suers. It 1s believed that the locality ts being cleared of dogs that robbery may be more successfully committed. ; scen in the act ACCUSED OF ARSON What a Young Man Olaimed He Saw While Looking Out of a Window. Mr. West's Counsel States That the Charge That He Attempted to Fire Elseman’s Store is Absurd. A charge of arson is standing against Mr. Emil West, proprietor of a men’s furnishing store at 432 7th street, he being accused of attempting to set fire, about 8:30 o'clock last evening, to the establishment of Fise- man Brothers, southeast corner of 7th and E streets. It is claimed that Mr. West was t. He was followed to a house on Penns nia avenue, and there placed under = arre: In the Police gourt this morning hearing of the case was postponed until Thursday next. * While looking out of a window of his room in the May building, at the.northeast corner of 7th and E streets, about $ o'clock last evening, Mr. Fred. Rhodes, who is employed as a stenographer in the office of the South- ern raflway, noticed a man stop at the area on the E street side of Elseman’s, glance about in a suspicious manner, and then drop something between the railing. The man | passed down the street a few paces and then returned, just as a blaze sprang up from the area. An alarm of fire was turned in by a passer-by, but Mr. Rhodes hastily grabbed his hat and followed the man, of whom he obtained a good look by the fl- lumination of the fire, through an alley and along several streets to a lodging house, 630 Pennsylvania avenue. Mr. Rhodes in- formed Policeman Heller of what he had seen, and the latter called at the house and accosted the proprietor with: I want the man who just went up stairs. “Do you mean Mr. West?” was the an- swer. Mr. West was not inclined to ieave with the officer at first. He was positively idea- tified by Mr. Rhodes as the man who drop- ped the inflammable material into the area at Eiseman's. The prisoner denied the charge, and later referred ali questioners to his attorney, Mr. William A. Cook. Mr. West is abcut thirty-five years of age, and resides at 203 G street. He was employed at Auerbaeh’s until going into business for himself about a year ago. It Is sald that the relations existing be- tween Mr. West and the Eiseman brothers are most pleasant, and no reason is known to exist why the former should attempt to reduce the establishment of the later to ashes. Mr. West was released on $500 bonds. Counsel for Mr. West stated to a Star re- porter today that the mere idea of his client being guilty of such an act as the one described is absurd on the face of It. Mr. West is a reputable business man, said the attorney, of excellent standing in the community, and he has been arrested on the statement of a young man who is cer- tainly laboring under a mistake. ‘Does it seem likely that Mr. West would stand about while Mr. Rhodes left his room and descended the stairs, in order that he might be followed?” was askéd. Accord- ing to counsel, if an attempt to set fire to Eiseman’s was made some other individual ig the guilty party. It was also stated that the case mey never come to trial. — Actor Gentry, who shot Madge York, was put on trial in Philadelphia yesterday. INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. AMUSEMENTS ATTORNEYS AUCTION SALES.

STEAM FITTERS MAY STRIKE The regular weekly meeting of the Cen- tral Labor Union was held last evening at Typographical Temple. President Milford Spohn occupied the chair, and Mr. Joseph F. Torrens was secretary. The chair leid before the union a communication from President Samuel Gomers of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor a: Indianapolis in reference to the beer boycott here, of waich the following is a copy: “I am in receipt of @ communication from the national secretary of the United Brewery Workmen of the United States, in which ‘he says: ‘Our L. U., No. 118, of Washington; D. C., informs me that it is wifling to affihate itself with the A. F. of I. central body there, if the same will strike the clause frora its constitution saying that no bey- cott or other trouble of an atfiliated union will be considered except the respective union belongs at least six months to the central body. I belleve shat sucn a clause 1s not only detrimental to the central body, but also against common and directly in favor of the employers “I kindly ask that your central body will take some action in this matter in order that the best interests of the brewery workmen and the general labor movement may be advanced, and advise ine what ac- tson you take on the matter.” Secretary Torrens was instructed by the union to inform President Gompers that he had been misinformed in the mutter by Secretary Bechtold of the United Brewery Workmen. The reading of the letter of Mr. Gompers evoked’ a great deal of dis- cussion, in the course of which one of the leading members of the union stated tyat he was called upon a short time ago by a member of Gambrinus Assembly, delegated to do so, ond who stated that the members of the assembly were heartily tired of the beer war, and would like to become affili- ated with the Central Labor Union and the American Federation of Labor. The delegate to the C. L. U. asked for instruc- tions as to the proper course for him to pursue in the matter. On a motion, which was unanimously adoptad, the delegate was requested to inform the member of Gam- brinus Assembly that if the latter leaves the local federation and District Assembly No. 66, K. of 1, and, organizing as a union, makes application to be represented In the Cerrtral Labor Union, the C. L. U. would consider the question. Mr. Spohn’s Report. In the course of the discussion on beer matters, President Spohn, who had been requested to act as chairman of a com- mittee which was appointed to wait on the members of the brewers’ combine and as- certain definitely whether the brewers con- template rescinding, as has been reported, their contracts with the Central Labor Union and Building Trade Council, made the following report: - “About ten days ago two members of the local federation committee called upon the representatives of the brewers and pro- posed a settlement of the trouble existing between the brewers and the local federa- tion and D. A. 66, K. of L., stating that after conference with the committee of D. A. 66 an agreement would he submitted to the brewers, and they requested that the brewers meet this joint committee at their next meeting. ‘To this the brewers acceded, and at the meeting fast Tuesday the joint committee presenied the form of an agree- ment, the provisions of which were that the brewers recognize Gambrinus Assem- bly, that the men now e:nployed be dis- charged and the members of Gambrinus be employed, that no labor be employed by the brewers that {s not recognized by the local federation and D. A. No. 68, K. of L., and that all agreements made with other labor bodies not represented in the local fed- eration and D. A. 66, be rescinded. Complications in the Case. “At this meeting it was ascertained con- clusively that the management of a local brewery, which was made ‘fair’ by the exec- utive committee of D. A. 68 had made no agreement, either written or verbal, and that the statement made at the time the boycott was removed, and reiterated time and again with great persistency since that date, that this brewery was taken from the unfair list because of an agreement satisfactory to Gambrinus Assembly, was ascertained to be false. The company own- ing the brewery did, however, prepare an agreement to be submitted to the commit- tee which it was willing to sign. The other brewers also prepared an agreement which embodied essentially the same provision: This agreement recognizes Gambrinus As- sembly, leaves the employes at liberty to join any organization they desire, gives preference in employment of members of Gambrinus Assembly, but will not rescind the contracts made with the other organi- zations, and will abide by them in letter and in spirit. “A copy of this agreement has been sub- mitted to the joint committee of the local federation and D. A. 6, and the brewers have been asked to meet the committee again. In answer the representatives of the brewers in substance replied that their proposition was their ultimatum, and that if the committee could agree to its terms no further conference was necessary.” Cigarmakers Leave the Federation. A communication was read from the Cigar Makers’ Union, stating that in con- sequence of the stand taken by the local federation and D. A. 66, K. of L., in refer- ence to a higher license for saloon keepers, and the issuance by the agitating comm! tee of the circular on the subject, a copy of which was published in The Star of Monday last, they had withdrawn from the local federation. The course taken by that body and the others named had worked much injustice and loss of employment to the Cigar Makers, and they thought they would not be justified in continuing any longer as a member of the federation. The following resolution, which was unanimously adopted Sunday last at a meeting of the Columbia Musicians’ Pro- tective Association, was indorsed: “Resolved, That the delegates to the Cen- tral Labor Union from Columbia Musicians’ Protective Association, No. 649 L., be instructed to appeal to the Central Labor Union and ask them to place on the unfair list Musical Assembly No. 4308, Knights of Labor of Washington, for the reason that said assembly deliberately sup- ports the Marine Band in its unjust and unfair competition against civillan mu- siclans, and furthermore that said assem- bly has refused to recognize No. 6497, A. F. of L., as a legitimate union.” This was signed by Richard F, Wagner, president; Charles S. Walton, secretary. The Central Labor Union voted that they would not only comply with the request of Columbia Musicians’ Protective Association, but that they would refuse to patronize any place or boat on which union labor was not em- ployed. Steamfitters Want Eight Hours. A communication was read from Mr. William Whyte, secretary of Local Branch, No. 10, National Association of Steam and Hot Water Fitters and Helpers, in refer- ence to the lockout of some of the mem- bers of the branch because of their at- tempt to establish an eight-hour work day, and asked that the names of six firms, who had positively refused to concede the re- quest of the steam and hot water fitters, be pieced on the unfair list. It was stated in the discussion that followed that no ques- tion of wages entered into the controversy, and that the firms referred to were opposed to an eight-hour work Gay and would not yleld their position on that point. The request of Local Branch, No. 10, was then granted. Delegate Lerch of Columbia Typograph- ical Union said that his union was too busy meking nominations for their ensuing election at their last meeting to attend to anything else, but that there was no doubt the members would support the steam and hot water fitters morally and financially and w take appropriate action at the next meeting.

Delegate Malone of the Electrical Work- ers reported that he had called on Mr. Con- rad, who has charge of the electrical shops of the Metropolitan Railway Company, in reference to the employment of non-union electrical workers there, and that Mr. Con- rad referred him to President Piullips, but although he had tricd to see the latter he had been unable as yet to do 50. He in- tended, however, to call again on the latter without unnecessary delay. A motion was made that the Central Labor Union indorse the blue label of the Cigar Makers’ Union, but after considerable cebate the motion was amended so as to have the C. L. U. indorse all union work- manship in the District of Columbia, and as amended was passed by a unanimous vote. Delegate Meagher of the Painters’ Pro- tective Union stated that a member of that organization who was employed at the Weshington Brewery was discharged at the instigation of the district master work- man of D. A. 66, K. of L., and that the latter in making the request had violated a law of his own organization. Mr. Mea- gher algo stated that eume parties, who as yet are unknown, have been calling on business men and collecting money for the alleged benefit of the union, but that such a mission was uneuthorized. A delegate of the Musical Association re- quested that the members of all organiza- ticrs representel in the Central Labor Union give preference at all times to the products of those affiliated with the cen- tral body, and it was unanimously voted that this was the proper course to pursue. ee This morning a few .minutes after 6 o'clock the dead body of John F.
