Much Business Transacted at Last Night’s Meeting—Discussing ae the Unfair List. eke The semi-annual meeting of the Central Labor Urion was held last evening at Typo- graphical Temple and was largely attended, all the orgarizatione connected with th bedy being represented. President Milford Spohn occupied the chair and Mr. Joseph F. Torrens was secre- tary. The election of officers for the en- suing term resulted in the choice of all the retiring officials, as follows: President, Mil- ford Spohn of the Bricklayers’ Union; vice president, William Silver of the granite cutters; secretary, Joseph F. Torrens of the stereotypers; treasurer, J. D. McKay of the Amalgamated Association of Carpen- ters; sergeant-at-arms, William White of the steam and hot water fitters; auditors, A. L. Dahler of the cigar makers, R. J. Meaher of Painters’ Protective Union and Joel D. Cross of Columbia Typographical Union. After the result of the election was an- nounced by the tellers, President Spohn re- turned Lis thanks for the honor conferred upon him by the re-election and promised to exert himself to the utmost to promote the best interests of trade unionism in the Dis- trict of Columbia, and he was convinced, he said, that in a short time the condition of labor here would be better than it has been for a long time. The report of Secretary Torrens for the past quarter was submitted. It showed that the treasury was in a healthy condi- tion and was accepted and approved by an unanimous vote. The application of the horse shoers to be organized as a branch of the Central Labor Union, and to be aYiated with the Amer- ican Federation of Labor, was referred to a committee composed of Delegates John Weber, M. P. Canty and William Weber, the latter the district organizer, who were instructed to call on the Horse Shoers’ Union, which is affiliated with the local federation, and inform them that the Cen- tral Labor Union intends to grant the ap- plication, and, if agreeable to the members of the Horse Shoers’ Union, the delegates to the Central Labor Union would like to be informed what the former are going to do about it. Other Business. A communication was receiver from a business house whose attention was called to the alleged fact that it was buying goods from an unfair firm in the north, stating that unless the latter would «mploy union lator for the future they would not patron- ize them again. The delegates frora the League of Musi- cians requested that one cf the steamboat companies whose boats run from this city be placed on the unfair list, but the matter was laid over for orie week. ~ The delegates from the Granite Cutters reported that the granite curbing that is being used by the District government in paving was cut in Georgia by unfair and underpaid labor, and the legislattve com- mittee was directed to inform the District Ccmmissioners of the fact. A communication was read from a gov- ernment employ2, who requested that his name be not made known, urging the Cen- tral Labor Union to appeal to the Ameri- can Federation of Labor to make a move- ment all along the line for the repeal cf section 5508 of the Revised Statutes of th United States in regard to “conspiracy,” as the writer of the communication and many others thought that under the sec- tion persons were sometimes unjustly pun- ished. The matter was discussed at much length and was finally iaid over for future and further consideration. Credentials were received from several organizations and the delegates were ad- mitted and obligated. ‘The Steam and Hot Water Fitters re- ported that two more of the bosses had signed their scale for an eight-hour day, and they belfeved that in a short time all the rest of the employers who are still holding out will do kewise. The galvanized tron and cornice workers stated that they had decided to decline to accede to the request of the tinners and stone workers to be admitted to member- ship with them, but were willing that they should be organized by themselves under @ charter of the American Federation of Labor, and to be afliliated with the Cen- tral Labor Union, with the understanding that neither of the organizations were to be restricted as to the kind of work its members would do. The delegates from the Painters’ Protec- tive Union reported that at the last meet- ing they had sixteen initiations. Organizer Weber reported the formation of two new unions since the last meeting of the Central Labor Union; also that the Barbers’ Union has received its charter, and the officers will be installed shortly; also that delegates from the Barbers’ Union will present themselves for admis- sicn to the Central Labor Union at the next meeting of the latter. Mr. Weber further stated that the Hod Carriers’ Association have determined to ally themselves with .the Central Labor Union. a Spectal Salvation Army Doings. During the great C. E. rally in this city there are to be very special attractions at the Salvation Army, for a large number of elegates are warm friends and admirers in their own states. On Thursday, 9th, In the Army Hall, 930 Pennsylvania avenue, Staff Capt. Blanche B. Cox, assisted by all her officers from Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and the Dis- trict of Columbia, ‘will conduct a welcome meeting. - On Friday, at 8 p.m., in the Wesley Chapel (corner of Sth and F streets) the subject will be “The Army's Progress in Many Lands.” This will be followed by a half-night of prayer from 10 till 1 a.m., which is espe- cially for Christians, and will be attractive to many by reason of its novelty. At each of these meetings there will be much musical and vocal talent. Then on Sunday, 12th, America’s new leaders—Commander and Consul Booth- Tucker—will fulfill their long-expected visit and speak in the Masonic Temple (corner of 9th and F streets) at 8 and 8 p.m. Mr. Tucker is the apostle of India, having been the pioneer salvationist in the country where he was once a judge. He speaks the languages fluently and has wonderful sto- ries to tell. —_——_. Ask a Sale. Mary Mercer Carter and others have filed @ bill in equity against Sherlock 3.

The Commissioners have commenced op- erations in the engineer department looking to the establishment of harbor lines along the Water street front of the Potomac river. Some days ago, upon motion of Major Powell, the Commissioners called the attention of the Secretary of War to this matter. and asked his co-operaion in the mater of fixing the lines. The recommenda- tion was approved and the letter of the Commissioners sent to Mi vis, who prepared a map showing the bulk lines. This map was submitted to the Commis- stoners with the request that the engineer department look into the matter and for mulate a scheme. ‘The matter is now being considered. ———»—— $1.25 to Baltimore and Return To- day via B. and O.

Husbands and Wives Who Could Not Agree. ‘Two women who ere firmly of the opinion thet marriage is @ failure are now pros- pective grass widows for six months. One of*them is Annie Kerr, whose husband, William Kerr, is a bricklayer, and the oth- er is Elizabeth Minor, whose husband, Will- fam H. Mincr, colored, drives a wagon. ‘The Minor man wes first to appear before Judge Miller on a charge of wife beating, and his wife was anxous to get rid of him. ‘Fhey have been married a number of years and live near 2d and G streets southwest. Lizsie complained that William has failed to provide for her for a long time and she has been forced to do laundry work in order to support herself. “On the Fourth of July I went to a gar- den party,” was her statement, “and w! there I was introduced to a man and he Was going my way and—" “And you went along with him?’ inter- rupted the court. 7: “Yes, sir. Bosumtng: she said that when she went home her husband knocked her down, beat her and kicked her in the eye. husband admitted that he beat her, but did not remember that he used his foot on_her, “Why did you beat her?” “Well, judge, I asked people about giving her an introduction to the man and they denied it. And, of course, when she came home we got on cross questions and I struck her.” “The whipping post would just fit you this mornin; the judge told him. “A dose of nine and thirty or several times as much as you gave your wife is just what you ought to get; but as the law provides for no such punishment you will have to lie in Jail for six months.” Whisky the Cause. Whisky was given as the cause of the trouble in the Kerr family. William, who is much smaller than Annie, who is his better half in more ways than one, has been drinking for several weeks, according to his wife’s statement, and only yesterday he refused to accept a job at $4.50 a day. “I keep a ilttle store at 937 25th street,” she said, “‘and because I wouldn’t gtve him money for whisky he beat me.” “Did he hurt you?” “Indeed he did,” was the wife’s response. “He made my nose Lleed.”” William, whose appearance showed that he had been drinking for a long time, charged that his wife has a bad temper and said she bounced so much thet her nose bled. “Did you hit her?” “No, sir; but I did push her away.” “The whipping post,” the judge said to Kerr, ‘‘wouldn’t hurt you today. Any man who will strike his wife needs several times the punishment he inflicts upon her. You may have the same es the colored man, six months,” In imposing this senterce the judge said he felt certain that the wife would be in ccurt asking for his release before Saturday réght. His Love Doubtful. Mary For, a colcred woman, who has been in love with John Temple and with whom she has spent the greater part of the last few months, has about concluded that she will live a life of single-blessedness and will not venture upon the matrimonial sea. Until the two had trouble she was satisfied that her love for kim was reciprocated, but when they hed a row and he cut her head she changed her mind and now she will not see him for six months, unless she calls upon him at the jail. a SAD DEATH OF WM. KEEFE. His Widow Also an Inmate of the Home for Incurables. William Keefe, an inmate of the Home for Incurables, died Friday at that insti- tution of paralysis, in the sixty-elghth year of his age. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at 8 o’clock from Trinity Catholic Church, Rew Father Zimmerman, the assist- ant pastor, officiating. The interment was at Mount Olivet cemetery. Mr. Keefe was a native of the District, and had lived here all his life. In early years he was in the grocery business, but for the last sixteen or eighteen years of his life had been a messenger for the bank- ing firm of Lewis Johnson & Co., working for them until about two years ago, when he was stricken with creeping paralysis, and was taken in at the Home for In- curables. The deceased had been married for forty-four years, and for forty years had lived on H street between 17th and 18th streets. His wife was admitted to the heme a month after the husband, she being crippled with rheumatism. She was unable to attend the funeral. Her husband was a member of the Veteran Volunteer Fire- men’s Association, and that organization attended the funeral. National Theater—The fourth week of comedy opened auspiciously at the National last night, and the temperature was a de- lightful feature of the performance. The first play of the evening was a new one by Paul Wilstach, a Washington playright, and it was extremely well done by Mtss Sanders, Mr. Boag and Mrs. Lockwood. it is called “Bridget,” and is a simple little domestic scene of two young housekeepers and a recalcitrant old servant, Bridget. Miss Sanders, as always, was artistic and natural, Mr. Boag was magnetic and easy, and Mrs. Lockwood was a fine old Bridget. Following this was Mark Melford’s farce comedy, “Turned Up,” which turned down all previous efforts of the company at laugh- making. Mr. Bond as Carraway Bones was an irresistible undertaker; Mrs. Findlay was never a funnier housekeeper; Charles Mackay as George Medway did the best thing he has done in a long while; William Boag had a laugh with him that convulsed the house; Abbie Johnson was a plump and pleasing widow (for ten months); Miss Marti was haughty as a queen; Miss Sand- ers in black was a new departure for so white and dainty a little woman; Mr. Elton was a vigorous ship captain, and Miss Edythe Chapman s0 pleased and surprised the house by her work that in the midst of the act she was recalled. So it went all the way around, and the whole evening was a great success. Indeed, there could scarce- ly be a word said against anything, except- ing two or three coarse lines in ‘Turned Up,” which should be cut out at once. The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Schroder, made an extra effort also, and gave for the first time a new march by Carl Au, “The Christian Endeavorer.” It is just a little funny, though, that the companion pieces of this march should have been “A folly Night,” “The Devil’s Deputy” and “The Latch Key.” Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—A highly amusing and entertaining burlesque on “Pinafore,” entitled “Her Majesty's Safety Pin,” was the chief attraction at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater last night, and a large audience was in attendance. Miss Maud Harris as “Josie Fine’ and Miss Nettie La Vyne as “Butter Tub” did excepiionally bright work, and contributed largely to the success of the burlesque. Mr. John Grieves, Tommy Harris and the members of the Brilliant Quartet furnished the fun and vocalisms, and were received with great favor. Spectalties were introduced during the action of the play. The sailors’ horn- pe by Dollie Lafferia, skirt dance by the ontgomery sisters, dancing and singing by Nettie Le Vyne, and an extremely hu- morous dance of the dolls completed the list, and all were good and enthusiastically received. In the summer garden the new- comers were Nettie Le Vyne and Lettie Rogers, and both scored heavily. The re- mainder of the large company was seen to good advantage in a chanye of program embracing all sorts of pleasing specialties. ——.—_ —_ ’ EXCURSIONS, An excursion will be given to Marshall Hall this evening on the steamer Macales- ter by the Y.P.S.C.E. and the Southern Methodist Brotherhood of Mt.

SetW ues io Po ‘Today's round-up of prisonera in the Police Court showed tat the colored popu- lation hed a very large majority, for of the nineteen prisoners’ only three were white. One of the whites was a female, while four females in the procession were colored. But there was money in the crowd, so Policeman Flynn said, although the funds of the victims were rather low, for most of them insisted on getting rolls and hot sausage for a nickel. “Many of today’s prisoners,” said the big policeman, “were full last night, and it was only good luck on their part that they were not in the foils yesterday.” ‘ Trouble in Cow’s Alley. Addison Tanner, a colored resident of Cow’s alley, was in court to enter complaint against Mary Stuart and Jane Snowden, two of the colored females who participat- ed in the procession, and several of Addi- son's friends were also in court to help him out. 3 “Step up here,” the court sald to Addi- son, “and tell mé all about the trouble.” “I didirt have no trouble,” le answered; “they got in trouble.” “Well, what did they say to you?” “They called me a dead, motherless — —.” he. answered, “‘and said I was a black nigger. Of course, it’s well known that my mother’s dead and that my skin 1s black. They are brown-skin people and have brown skin papas, and that’s all there is about it.” your honor,” said one of the wo- men, “‘I'se been livin’ in Cow’s alley for a long time, and I ain't never had any trou- ble before. The day of the trouble I wasn't in the alley.” “And the neighbors have all been com- Plaining of the noise in the alley,” said the officer: ane “We ain't got no neighbors, Addisons.” = “The noise can be heard at my house out on ath Street,” volunteered Policeman eal. ‘The women were fined $5 or fifteen days each, and they went down. Robert Burnett and John Pruitt, young men arrested for obstructing the sidewalk with their persons, admitted that their ar- Tests were made for sufficient reason, and the usual fine was imposed. Woman Discharged and Man Fined. Lizzie Fletcher thought she had been doubly punished wken she appeared in the toils on a charge of disorderly. Her friend, Samuel Barry, was arrested with her, and both were arraigned together. “The man struck the woman and knock- ed her dowu,” said Policeman Hunt. “And what did the woman do?” the court wanted to kiow, “Nothing.” “The woman is discharged.”* Barry's case was heard, and he was fined $5 or fifteen days on the farm. John Mercer said “Guilty” to a charge of disorderly conduct, and went down be- cause he did not have five dollars. John Monroe and. Isaac Woody, young colored men, who live in South Washington, escaped @ severe fine for the reason that the court was ignorant of the fact that they had been shooting crap. There is no such offense as crap sheoting on the statute books, and 20 the players of the game are charged with disorderly conduct or un- lawful assembly. This fact was known to the defendants, who entered pleas of guilty, and submitted to the imposition of the usual $5 fine. When the fine had been imposed the de- fendants made a plea for leniency,and then it was that the court learned that they had played crap and congratulated them upon their success in having the small fine imposed. Went Down for'Two Weeks. “I don’t know what you-mean,” said Charles Smith, a colored man, when the clerk read to him a charge of vagrancy and suspicion. He was soon made to un- derstand, and then he said he was inno- cent. “He's been hanging about alleys, sleeping in wagons,” the officer said, “and is drunk most of the time.” “And last week I sent him out with $5 worth of clams and crabs in @ wagon,” said Frances Day, an elderly colored wo- man, “and all I got back was the wagon. I have a lame husband and have been doing all I could to support him, and have also tried to help this poor man along. The clothes he has on his back I gave him, but he will drink whisky.” Smith made a denial of the charge, but the proof against him was too plain, and the judge gave him a sentence of two weeks on the farm. She Had No Friends. “This unfortunate creature was put out of her house a week ago, and she has been living in the open air ever since,” said Policeman Pearson, when Sarah Wilson, a respectable looking colored. woman, ap- Peared. “She says the world owes her a living, and she is going £o stand persecu- tion as well as did the Lord.” “How does she manage to get food?” “The neighbors have been very charitable to her, and are caring for her child.” “Have you any friends?” the woman was asked. “No, indeed,” she answered. “When a woman's got money she’s got friends, and when she ain’t got money she’s without friends.” The court sent for Lawyer Hewlett, and he promised to see that some of the char- itable people cared for her. George Smith and Ellis Holmes, South Washington colored boys, who participated in a game of crap on the 6th street wharf yesterday, were given a trial. “We were not in the game,” was their excuse; ‘we were sitting on a barrel look- ing at the game.” “They were in the game,” Policeman Lewis told the court. “I got the bones and six cents, and would have arrested the others, but I could only take two.” ‘They were fined $10 or thirty days each. ———— except the Money to lend at 5 and 6 per cent on real estate.
