Vartous Committees Provided for and the Appointments Made by the President. The board of trustees of the public l- brary held a meeting in the board rocm of the District Commissioners yesterday after- noon, were called to order by Commissioner Ross, and organized by the election of The- odore W. Noyes as president and John B. Larner as secretary. The trustees present were Dr. J. M. To- ner, Gardiner G. Hubbard, R. Ross Perry, S. W. Woodward, J. B. Larner and T. W. Noyes. The other trustees, A. T. Britton, B. H. Warner and J. T. DuBois, were una- voidably absent from the city. On motion of Mr. Hubbard the secretary was instructed to transcribe upon the min- utes an expression of the high appreciation of the trustees of the services of T. W. Noyes toward securing the public library legislation. The trustees, as directed by law, then di- vided themselves by lot into three classes, of three members each, the first to serve two years, the second four and the third six, as follows: Two years’ term, Toner, Noyes, Hubbard; four years’ term, Warner, Larner, Woodward; six years’ term, Perry, DuBois, Britton. Committees Required. To provide for carrying into effect at the proper time the powers conferred by law upon the trustees on motion the ap- pointment by the president of certain com- mittees of tnree was authorized. These committees are (1) to frame by-laws for the board, or, as the law puts it, “regulations for its own organization and government”; (2) to recommend a librarian, to prepare lists of books to be purchased, etc.; (3) to frame in conjunction with the Hbrarian “rules. for taking and returning books, to fix fines and penatties for the loss of or injury to books, and all other needful rules and reg- ulations for the management of sald li- brary”; (4) to examine into available tem- porary locations for the library, when formed, and to report recommendations to the board; (5) to prepare estimates of main- tenance expenses to be submitted to the Commissioners for incorporation in the District appropriation bill; () on legisla- tion, to push maintenance item in District appropriation bill, bill for municipal build- ing which is to furnish the permanent home of the library under the law, bill to secure 14,000 uncopyrighted duplicates from the Congressional Library, and any other legislation for the benefit of the library; (@ on donations, to make at the proper me a systematic canvass for private sub- scriptions of money and books. On motion the president was made ex- officio a member of all the committees to be appointed, and the secretary is by vir- tue of his office burdened with duties In re- spect to nearly all of the committees. The President's Appointments. The membership of the by-laws com- mittee was annouriced by the president at the meeting yesterday afternoon, and the appointments to the other committees were made today. The committees are as fol- lows: By-laws, Perry, Larner and Wood- ward; library regulations, Hubbard, Per- ry and Toner; lbrarian and lists of beoks, DuBois, Britton, Woodwerd; temporary site, Warner, Toner and DuBols; esti- mates for appropriation bill, Toner, War- ner and Larner; legislative, Britton, Hub- bard and Warner; donations, Woodward, Perry and Hubbard. Donations Tendered. The incorporated free library, through its president, Gen. A. W. Greely, has tendered to the Commissioners for the public library the books of the incorporated library, over 6,000 in number. There are other smaller donattons of books offered, and there are available for the purchase of books private subscriptions to the amount of several thousand doliars, and the interest on the memorial fund of $5,000, and other contri- butions secured by the brary committee of the boanf of trade. It was the opinion of the trustees that it would be advisable, and was in fact neces- sary, to delay realizing upon and taking actual possession of these generous dona- tions of money and books until provision was made through the municipality or in some other way for suitably housing the books, both purchased and donated, and for paying the salary of a first-class librarian. ‘The importance of the selection of the very best librarian who can be secured was recognized by the trustees, and it is prob- able that this selection will be made only Mer due deliberation, and thoughtful con- sideration of the comparative merits of those who may be available. : —_ No permit necessary to fire your crackers at Bethesda Park.—Advt.

NATIONAL RIFLES IN CASE OF A STRIKE A Proposed Measure Gt Finance Causes a Disturbance. = One of the most impo; meetings in 3 ae ‘ the history of the Natio1 es was hela | -Tesident Phillips Thinks Most of the Men last evening at the armory for the pur- pose of discussing certain matters con- cerning the future management of the af- fairs of the corporation, and‘as a result of that session an equity suit may be insti- tuted to restrain a majority of the stock- holders from issuing ceutifientes of stock in equal amounts to all’ members, irrespec- tive of their terms of service. The meeting developed a jgreat deal of feeling, and it was not adjourned until late in the night. There were two factions d- veloped by the propositions advanced to bond the corporation for $04,500, one side favoring this measure of finance and the other oppesed. Those favoring the bonds Proposed that certificates of stock to the total amount of the bonded indebtedness should be issued in-equal shares to the Present stockholders, share and share alike, while those opposed argued that nothing should be done to change the ex- isting state of the financial affairs of the corporation until the expiration of the charter, In 1902. Among those supporting the bond idea were Messrs. J. ‘T. Pickett, E. P. Harring- ton, J. Henry Small and Robert Constant, while on the other side were Capt. J. F. Oyster, and Messrs. J..0.. Manson, George W. Evans, Wm. P. Boteler, E. B. Hay, W. K. Ellis, W. C. Keech and T. A. Garner. In the end the bond plan was adopted, but the minority served notice that they would oppose vigorously every step look- ing to the consummation of the plan for issuing the certificates equally among all the members. The affairs of the corpora- tion will be in all likelihood carried into the Equity Court, in all events, as it will be necessary for the majority to go to court to ask for a change in the charter conditions to permit the issue of the cer- tificates. Will Stick. Members of the Assembly Believe Differently—More Letters From Congressmen on the Subject. The discharged employes of the Metro- politan Railway Company had not up to the time The Star went to presy received any reply from President Phillips to the letter of General Secretary-Treasurer John W. Hayes, which was sent to Mr. Phillips yesterday, and in which Mr. Hayes, among other things, sald: “We should like to get a definite understanding of the position of the company by tomorrow (Friday) even- ing and the impression prevails in inter- ested quarters that no further action rela- tive to the matter will be taken by Mr. Phillips during the present week. Will Stand by the Company. The information was given today to a Star reporter by some of the conductors who are heartlest in their praise of Presi- dent Phillips for the manner in which he has dealt by them, and who stated that they would stand by the company under any and all circumstances, that a quiet canvass has been made within the past day or two of the conductors and motor- men in the employ of the company, and that it was ascertained that in the event of trouble, there were 150 who would stand by the company. Whether or not this canvass was made by order of Mr. Phillips could not be ascer- tained, but it is asserted that the inquiry was made by members of the railroad com- pany’s own Protective Association, of which most of the employes are members, and it was further stated that many of those who are said to be thoroughly loyal to the company and so express themselves, are fearing that a strike will be ordered by the executive board of the Street Rail- way Assembly. No such action, it is stated+at head- ers, is contemplated at this time at leasi, although the boerd has been urge4 to take this course, especially in view of the fact that a report today reached the headquarters of the discharged men that Mr. Phillips would ke willing to reinstate them to their former places without muzh further delay were it not for the fear that should he do so the members of the gen- eral executive board of the Knights of Labor would herald the event throughout the ccuntry as a great K. of L. victory. Messrs. Lawrence and Dent, master work- man and chairman of the executive board, respectively, of the Street Railway Assem- bly, speaking todsy for themsclves ani thelr.colleagues, said they wanted to deny in the mcst emphatic terms that they had ever signed a petition which had for its object the defeat of legislation asked of a THE HOLT CASE. Future Proceedings in the Famous Will Trial. It was expected that the motion of coun- sel for the heirs-at-law of the late Judge Advocate General Joseph Holt, for the en- tering of the judgment of the Circuit Court declaring the alleged will of February 7, | q 1873, never to have been made, would be called up in the Probate Court today. It was not, however, but it is understood that {t will be not later than Friday next. The motion will be, it is said, granted as a matter of course, when counsel for Mr. Luke Deviin, the executor, and Miss Lizzie Hynes and Miss Josephine Holt Throck- morton, the beneficiaries under the so-called will, will note an appeal to the Court of Appeals. ‘The expense of the trial may be in a degre? estimated ‘rom the amount allowed tcday Stenographer W.

A Different State of Things. In reference to the statement that there are 150 conductors and motormen who will stand by the company under all circum- stances, members of the executive board of the assembly said they were inclined to think should an order to strike be iss part not molested, about twelve years old, proved the excep: tlonto the. vule. He was ,arrseted by P6- Mceman Newkirk because’ he sét off a giant cracker, and the policeman said he would have released the boy if He/had not’ been so “sassy.” But the boy would not say he was ashamed of himself, and so he had to face Judge Kimball thls morning. ‘Then he was charged with having exploded a torpedo. The proof was that he exploded a firecracker, but there was no expert on fireworks in court to tell the difference be- tween a firecracker and torpedo, and 50 the court keld him guilty. = The judge, in imposing a fine of $1, said he intended to impose fines in all cases| the eompany would find a different state of where eae are: usedibeforelor after! srairs. ‘These officials’ claimed that th the Fourth. g : aie es ae eee Gold In Alaska, The first advices from the geological survey party sent to investigate the gold resources of the interior of Alaska have just reached here from J. E. Spurr, the expert who heads the expedition. The party reached Juneau June 9, and before going on hastily inspected the mines there. Expert Spurr says these mines will be even more productive in the future than they now are. The party were anchored off Dyea, foot of Chilcat pass and were about to begin the ascent of ‘the pass. They hope to so expedite passage across the Chileat pass to the field of work on the upper Yukon that the work can be completed and return east made in October or November. If the party re- main later they will winter at Circle City, Upper Yukon. great majority of the men now employed on the cars of the Metropolitan company had answered the questions propounded by the company’s officials favorably to that side because they were instructed so to do by the assembly, and not because they were any more disloyal to the latter now than in the past, and they asserted with much positiveness that if a strike is or- dered it will be made effective. They fur- ther believe, they say, that public opinion and sympathy are so strongly with the dis- cbarged men that the latter are very con- fident that few if any of the 150 supposed to be loyal to the company would take a Stand against their former comrades in case of a strike.

FARMVILLE, Va., July 3.—Solomon Marable was hanged here at 9:57 o'clock this morning for the murder of Mrs. Lucy Jane Pollard on June 14, 1895. He met his fate calmly, and on the scaffold reiterated his oft-repeated statement that Mrs. Pol- lard was murdered by a white man. Death was caused by strangulation. Marable was pronounced dead eighteen and a half min- utes after the drop fell, but was allowed to hang thirty-five. The execution was in the jail and was witnessed by only a few citizens. Three negro women are alleged to have been accomplices in the Pollard murder, which aroused the whole state of Virginia. Of the three, a nolle pros. has been entered as to Pokey Barnes, Mary Abernathy has been sentenced to hang, but execution has been stayed by an order of court, and Mary Barnes is serving a ten years’ sen- tence in the penitcntiary. The Murder of Mrs. Pollard. ‘The crime for which Marable was hanged was the killing of Mrs. Lucy Jane Poltard near Fort Mitchell in Lunenburg c@unty, on the 14th day of June, 1895. She was mur- dered in her back yard in broad dayligh by being knocked in the head with an « There were twenty-two separate an dis. tinct cuts on the back of her head, which was hacked to a jelly. Her husband, F. 8. Pollard, was at work at the time in a field about three hundred yards from the resi- dence. It was a daring deed, as fifteen or twenty hands were working in the field with Mr. Pollard, who was a man of con- siderable means, and known always to keep money in the house. A trunk was robbed of $860 in money. Solomon Marable, who was susp2cted of the crime, which created a profound sensa- tion throughout Virginia and North Caro- lina, was captured the following Tuesday in Mecklenburg county. He was taken to the scene of the murder under a heavy guard. The evidence against him was conclusive from the start, as the clothes he had on the day of the murder were found, and they were covered with blood. He finally confessed to having participated in mur- dering Mrs. Pollard. He would have been taken from jail the night of his arrest and lynched, but the commonwealth's attorney prevailed upon the crowd to allow him to live in order that Marable might be used as @ witness to convict three women who were under arrest as accomplices. ‘These women were Mary Albernathy, Mary Barnes and Pokey Barnes. All four prisoners were taken to Petersburg for safekeeping, and when the time of their trial arrived they were escorted to Lunen- burg by a company of soldiers. They were all convicted, Mary Abernathy, Pokey Barnes and Solomen Marable of murder in the first degree, while Mary Barnes re- ceived a verdict of murder in the second degree, and was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary, where she is now serving out her term. The three convicted of mur- der in the first degree were all given new trials by the supreme court, anl a change of venue granted by the couaty court of Lunenburg. The prisoners were ordered to be tried in Prince Edward cou At the March term Marable was convicted, and at the April term Mary Abernathy was con- demned, while Pokey Barnes was sct free by a nolle prosequ! order sugg2sted by the commonwealth’s attorney. Mary Aber- hathy was sentenced to hang on Wednes- day, July 8, but her execution was stayed by the granting of a writ of error. A rather remarkabje feavire.of the mur- der and robbery is that the stolen money never has been accounted for. The wumen were first convicted on Marabel's testimony alone, he testifying they lid the killing while he held Mrs. Pollard’s hands. A/ter- ward he told an entirely different story, vindicating the women and implicating a white resident of the Pollard neighborhood. — DETROIT’S CELEBRATION. It Will Be in Memory of the Bri Evacuation, DETROIT, Mich. July 3.—Instead of formally celebrating Independence day, De- troit will, a week later, celebrate the cen- tennial anniversary of the evacuation by the British of Detroit and the northwest territory. The governors of all the northwestern states, with their staffs, have been invited, as have also the President and cabinet, members of the United States Supreme Court, most of the foreign ambassadors and many other distinguished men. The chief orator of the day will be Governor O’Ferrall of Virginia, who will be accom- penied by his staff. The main exercises will be held in and about the new incom- pleted government building, which stands upon @ portion of the very site of old Fort Lernoult, ‘afterward called Fort Shelby, which was the structure evacuated by the British on July 11, 1796. By this act the northwest territory first came into posses- sion of the United States. The treaties of 1782 and 1783 provided for the surrender of the western territory by the English, but the evacuation of Detroit did not take place until thirteen years later, having been delayed by pretexts of unsetiled claims and protests of traders. Jay's final treaty, made in 1794, provided for the evacuation of Detroit on’ or before June 1, 1796, and the actual surrender tock place July 11. The exercises will consist of unveiling a memorial tablet on the en- trance of the federal building, historical addresses and Governor O'Ferrali’s oration and a parade of federal and state troops and naval battalions and other military and patriotic organizations.

July 3—Judge Dund: United States District Attorney Sawyer and Marshal Frank White have departed for Pine Ridge agency, where they will attend the Fourth of July celebration, to be held by the Sioux Indians on that reservation. This celebration will be on the most gigan- tic scale. and the performers will he mem- bers of the various Sioux tribes.

Another Medal of Honor. A medal of honor has been presented to William W. McCammon, captain 11th United States Infantry, late captain 24th Missouri Infantry Volunteers and brevet major cf volunteers, for most distinguish- ed galantry in action at Corinth, Miss., October 3 and 4, 1862, This officer (then first lieutenant, Company E, 24th Missouri Irfautry Volunteers, abd upon duty as provost marshal, third division, Army of the Mississippi), voluntarily assumed com- mand of his company, then under fire on October 3, 1862, and so continued in com- mand of the same until the repulse and re- treat of the enen:y on the 4th of October, 1:62.

THE WORLD OF SOCIETY Minister Romere Expected Back Seon From Mexioo. Miss Lester amd Mr. Limeawenver Married Last Night—Per- sonal Notes. It will be very pleasant news for all the friends of the Mexican minister and his charming wife that there is no doubt at all of his return to this country as Mexico's representative. The position which he has 80 long and ably filled, and with such dis- tinction to himself and with so great satis- faction to Mexico, will probably be his just as many years as he desires to hold it.

He is expected about the middle or last of this month, and will make a short stay at Cape May with Mrs. Romero before pro- ceeding on their summer travels.
