The regular weekly meeting of the Cen- tral Labor Union, which was held last evening at the headquarters of the body in Typographical Temple, was very fargely attended and much important business was transacted. President Milford Spohn occupied the chair and Mr. Joseph F. Torrens was sec- retary. , The following committees, to serve for the ensuing term, were announced by the chair: Credentials—Thomas McCarty, A. L. Dahler, Henry Volander. Contract—Joseph P. McCrink, John G. Wolf, Andrew Mur- Tay. Organization—W. F. Weber, Joseph Culley, George Smith. Legislative-M. P. Canty, John A. Brett, J. J. Crowley. Sta- tistical_John Esten, J. M. Heisley, Frank Walter. Grievance—George A. Malone, M. Morris, R. J. Meagher. Label—C. A. Cook, Jchn Weber, Thomas B. Waters. Building Trades Council—Thomas J. Gant, Frank Bugden, Warren H. Beall. ‘The chair also announced the selection of the following trustees: John M. Robey, T. B. Large and Edward Gessler, and said he would select the other ten members later. A letter was read from Mr. James Dun- can, national union secretary of the Gran- ite Cutters’ National Union, who is also a vice president of the Americaa Federation of Labor, in reference to_some granite work that is being done in “eorgia for the Distric: government. The letter was as follows: “We have received a communica- tion from Lithonia branch asking that some more action be taken to try and head off Francis Jones, who is running an oppo- sition yard in Lithonia, and principally do- ing street curb and sending it to Washing- ton, D. C., the idea being that since the Washing‘on branch is now affiliated with the Building Trades’ Ccuncil and the Cen- tral Labor Union you will be the better able to combat this man Jones than you have been heretofore. At least, the game is worth trying. “I have notified the Lithonia branch that the matter has thus been referred to you, and hope we will be successful in putting such obstacles in his way as will induce him to sign the bill of prices in Lithonia and hire unfon men.” ‘ Proper steps to carry out Mr. Duncan's wishes In the matter were agreed upon. Other Matters. The applications of the Horseshoers’ and also of the Pavers’ Union each for a char- ter under the American Federation of La- bor was indorsed, and the papers will be duly forwarded to the headquarters of the A. F. of L. at Indianapolis for final dispo- sition, and it is expected the charters will be forwarded at once. Delegates from the Journeymen Interna- tional Barbers’ Union, No. 170, Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators, and Local Branch, No. 10;—National Association of Steam and Hot Water Fitters and Helpers, were received, and the delegates admitted and obligated. ,.,, ‘The report of Organizer Weber was read, and after some complimentary remarks were made thereon, was accepted by a unanimous vote. A communication was read from S. Ot- tenberg & Bros. of New York, and the sec- retary was instructed to make a suitable reply thereto. ‘The chairman of :the legislative commit- tee reported that the committee some time since sent a letter to the District Commis- sioners asking the board to name a date vhen the former cctild havea *onTérence with them in regard. to a number of mat- ters In which the members of the C. L. U. are interested, but that no reply. has as yet been received. The Painters reported that they had re- ceived several new applications for admis- sion to thelr organization. ee THE BATHING BEACH, Sanday Broke the Record for Big Crowds. The records at the bathing beach show that Sunday was the largest day ef this season’s sport in the swimming line, there being 468 applicants for admission to the water. A largé crowd of Christtan En- deavorers were on the shore witnessing the boys cut their queer antics, but thought It better not to go too near the water. Satur- aay, however, the C. E. were well repre- sented, a number from Ontario, Canada; Boston, Mass.; Pittsburg, Pa. and Ho- token, N. J., taking a swim. The guard in the lifeboat was on ‘hand to do his duty, but has as yet this year been unable to show his ability’ th making any heroic rescues. Ladies’ days at the beach are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and it is thought that the fairer sex will be largely repre- sented this evening, as no gentleman is allowed in the water after 6 o'clock unless he be accompanied by a lady. Policeman Brown is stationed in the of- fice overlooking the whole affair, but his services are hardly required, as order is remarkably well preserved, and his princi- pal duty 1s to keep the hands of the large decoy clock moving every fifteen minutes that the bathers may know the time with- out inquiring as to the same. — EXCURSION Capt. E. S. Randall, the genial proprietor of the River View excursion resort, will to- morrow “have another of those popular Wednesdays there, and those who*wish to escape the heat of the city should take ad- vantage of these trips to spend the day at the “View.” These Wednesday trips are under the especial direction of Capt. Ran- dall and his assistants. The new water chute, the greatest amusement in the coun- try, and the other attractions will be in service. Chris. Arth, jr.’s, orchestra will make sweet music; cool breezes will blow and all will have an enjoyable time. The steamer Pentz will leave her wharf at 10 a.m., 2 and 6:45 p.m., and will return at the usual hours. The 33-hour trips to Chapel Point come among the most popular excursions given out of Washington last season. They have now been resumed, and the steamer Harry Randall leaves her wharf every Sunday, ‘Tuesday and Thursday at 7 o'clock, and re- turns to Washington on Monday, Wednes- day and Friday evenings. The entire cost of one of these 33-hour excursions is but #. This includes lodging at the Hotel Bellevue, at Chapel Point, and supper and breakfast, also passage on the steamer to and from Washington. At Chapel Point the best salt-water bathing, crabbing and fishing on the river are to be found. These trips are especially designed for family parties and those who cannot lose much time from work. —.— To Study Birds. A suggestion has been made by the b‘o- logical division of the Agricultural Depart- ment that a day be set aside in the public schools of the District for special instruc- tion in the study of our native birds, and the best means of protecting them. The idea originated with Prof. C. A. Babcock, superintendent of schools ¢n Oil City, Pa., where the system has been in successful operation for several years. It has received the warm indorsement of Mr. T. 8. Palmer, acting chief of the biological division, and of Secretary of Agriculture Morton, and will be considered by the school authorities. ——.—_—_ Regret His Death. At the last meeting of Mount Vernon As- sembly, No. 1798, K. of L., resolutions ex- pressive of the regret of the members at the death of the ldte Charles P.

Fear of Self-Destruction in the Case of Alexander Thornto: ‘While Warden Leonard denies the report that Alexander Thornton, alias Punk Bur- rell, the young colored man sentenced sev- eral days ago to be hanged for the murder of Quincy, Mackel last April, attempted sul- cide at the District jail by cutting his throat with a sharpened spoon, it is not denied that a watch has been placed.over the con- demned man. Although the date of the ex- ecution is quite distant, November 27 next, Thornton has become very despondent, and some fear 1s expressed that, he may at- tempt to cheat the gallows. Therefore, a man has beer placed in the cell with the young murderer, ‘ with - instructions to closely watch him day and night. The un- fortunate man is but a little more than twenty-one years of age, and as his friends claim that he stabbed Mackel in a drunken row, the deed being without premeditation, they say, they will ask the President to commute the death sentence to one of im- prisonment for life or less, should the Court of Appeals affirm the judgment of the trial court, It is believed that neither Judge Cole, before whom the man was |’ tried, nor District Attorney Birney would oppose such action by the President. 2 -SALVA'FION ARMY. Commander Booth-Tucker Addresses a Large Audience. ~ ~ Masonic Temple was packed to repletion Sunday night with citizens from every part of Washington to.listen-to an address from Commander Booth Tucker. Previous to the meeting the members of the Army in Washington assembled at the Salvation Army headquarters, and later, accompanied by their band proceeded to the temple. a AMUSEMENTS. National Theater.—Notwithstanding there was not a heavy fall of snow last night there was a good audience at the National to greet the summer comedians in their fifth week. “The Snowball” was the lead- ing attraction, and with Frederic Bond, John Findlay, Charles Mackay, George Stevens, Miss Chapman, Miss Sanders and M'ss Marti in the cast, it could not do etherwise than go with all the vim that Its author intended it should go. It ts that kind of a play, with just enough of the spice of life in it to make it snappy, and when it gets into the hands of good people it can’t help making a palpable hit. Bond was the Fetherstone, the husband who was 2lmost too good to be-true, and he did it gracefully and naturally; Miss Chapman, as Mrs. Fetherstone, was as vivacious and artistic as ever, and Miss Sanders no less the dainty bit of femininity that she always is. Mr. Mackay was a handsome Mr. Pren- dergast, Mr. Findlay was a less vigorous and therefore better old man than usual, and Miss Marti was stately and statuesque. The play is one that has been identified with summer comedy in Washington since the beginning, and as the majority of those in the cast had played it before, there was @ smoothness and finish to the performance not always observable on first nights. “Her Last Rehearsal” will be the curtain raiser during the remainder of the week. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—A large audl- ence was in attendance at Kernan’s last night. A burlesque on “Olivette,” entitled “All Over It,” was the bill, and a merry one it proved to be. John Grieves as “Capt. De Merrimac,” Tommy Harris as “‘Coquclicat,tt and Miss Maud Harris as “Olivet” were the bright particular stars and fun makers'df the evening. During the progress of the burlesque specialties and living pictures Were introduced with good effect. ‘The Hill Sisters made their first appearance, and their neat dancing and good singing’ were enthusiastically received.

Last night's misting of the. Nertheast Washington: Cittmms! Association was not largely attended, ut those. present exhib- ited constderablei-mterest in affairs, es- Decially matters pertaining to-the Balti- mere and Ohio ratinoad. Chairman Frizzell of the railroad committee said he had not a formal-report to make, but he desired to say that the committee is making prog- ress in the matter of getting a.law for the protection of street crossings. “I am happy to say,” ‘said. President Tucker, “that: since the agitation of the street crossings along the Hine of the rail- } road the Baltimore and Ohio Company has | venue, G and E streets, and I hope that} peated the success of last week in an excel+/ lent singing and dancing act. Dollie Laf- feria, the Montgomery sisters, and living pictures also created lots of applause, and then the Washington favorite, Mike Coak- ley, came on with a band of black pickanin- nies. For an half hour everything was laughter and applause, and it is safe to say that this specialty will prove a feature for weeks to come. In the summer garden Miss Grace Wallace, an excellent vocalist and dancer, was the newcomer, and she proved quite an added feature to the long | Ist of specialties. The Hill sisters, Miss ‘Trixie Manfred, Miss Lettie LeVynne, the Brilliant Quartet. Miss Maud Harris, M! Ada Downie, Miss Clara Cole, Miss’ Dora Parker, Tommy Harris, Miss Lottie Hill, Miss Jonnson, Mike Coakley, Dollie Lafferia and the Montgomery sisters, all did their acts in a pleasing way, and received gener- ous applause. ae Suen the Illinois Union. The Illinois Christian Endeavor Union, Oliver W. Stewart, state president; Henry H. Spooner, state manager, and Anna F. Felt, state secretary, were made the de- fendants in a suit filed by Robert P. Murphy yesterday, in which $2,966 was claimed for an alleged breach of contract. The plaintiff is the proprietor of the Hotel Regent. and. alleges that, January 30, 1806, the defend-" ants made a contract with the hotel py which from 250 to 400 were to be accom- modated at $2.25 for 400, and corresponding, rates for other numbers above the mini- mum of 230. After going to much expense in the matter, the plaintiff says that but eighty came to the house, instead of the minimum number. : The defendants claim, it ts said, that the contract, made with.the former proprietor of the hotel, Mr. Brush, was repudiated by the plaintiff, and that’ he determined to charge full rates, but subsequently agrced to charge but $2.25 a day. Had the plaintiff assumed the contract, say the defendants, they would have stood by it. Mr. Murphy, however, claims that the contract was made with the hotel, and that he agsumcd it. ———__ Carroll Institute Excursion, The annual excursion of the Carroll In- stitute was given yesterday to Marshall Hall, and nearly a thousand of the club members and their friends enjoyed the out- ing. A number of the party went down on the day boats, but the Macalester carried the bulk of the excursionists on the even- ing trip. A cancert was given on the lawti during the evening, in which the Carroll Institute Orchestra, under the direction of Ben Judson; Miss Blanche Mattingly, Frank Rebstock, the Carroll Institute Quartet, and Prof. Maurice Joyce, with a number of acro- bats, participated. ———— Death of Miss McCauley. Miss J. P. McCauley died at her father’s residence at 2:40 p.m. Friday. She was educated in the public schools of Washing- ton, and, after having graduated from the Normal School, was appointed the follow- ing year a teacher, in which capacity she has served successfully and conscientiously for more than twenty-five years. Shc had been a member and corresponding scerétary of the Amidon Association since its forma- tion. Miss McCauley had been failing for several months, and while a great shock to her many friends, her death was not un- expected. So Am Alleged Assault. In asking District Attorney Birney to in- vestigate the death of the colored boy Wm. Cullins, who died’ the 30th of last month, so his friends allege, from the effects of kicks administered by Policeman Cooper, affidavits have been filed by Mr. T. L. Jones in support of the charge, the affiauts being companions of the dead boy. ‘The ulleged assault was denounced by prominent o ored people at the Third Bapust Church Sunday last.

Chairman Martin of the street committee said he had no formal report to make tals month, but as he will make a report on the proposed schedule for next year about Sep- tember he hoped the citizens of Northeast Washington w'll send him lists of streets they want improved. “Any report from the committee on schools?” asked President Tucker. “I judge not,” replied Mr. Martin, “for the chairman (Mr. Dalrymple) is not pres- ent tonight. I saw him yesterday, and he said he expected to he present tonight. He told me, however, that it was because of his efforts that the flage were hoisted en the school buildings on the Fourth of July.” Reservation and School: “And,” added Mr. Algate, ‘not a flag floated on a school house.” There was 2 brief discussion about reser- vation 201, at Delaware avenue and H street, the triangular space occupied by the Baitimore and Ohio railroad. President Tucker said that the notice served on the railroad company to vacate the reservation had expired several months ago, but the reservation has not yet been vacated. He expects to get an audience with Secretary Smith tomorrow, when the matter will be discussed, and he hoped some action would follow. President Tucker called the attention of the association to the appropriations made by Congress for work this year, and point- ed out the probable benefits the northeast section will derive from them. He said he could make a better report of what Congress had failed to do than what it had done. Mr. Rose moved that the association recommend to the Commissioners that they accept a site on L street northeast between 3d and 4th streets. In this connection it was-stated that a real estate syndicate, is endeavoring to get the school over near Wekingtom:: Phisy is: the. :schoob: for, which the association has been struggling for a ‘Tong: time.: When a school girl was killed on the railroad tracks the association de- termined to makesan effort to get a school north of the traeks,;and now that the ap- propriation has been made for the building it 13 not its desirerto be cheated out of the building.

Packard of New York clty, R, C. Spencer of Milwaukee, J. M. Mehan of Des Moines, Seymour Eaton of the Drexel Institute in Philadelphia and Mrs. Sara C. Spencer of this city. “Addresses were made by United States Commissioner of Education Harris and by Mevil Dewey, secretary of the New York state board of regents. “The first day of the meeting two papers were read and discussed, one on the ‘Co- ordination of Business Stud; by J. M. Mehan of Des Moines, and one on a ‘Busi- ness Course for High Schools,’ -by myself. The second day 8. 8. Packard read a paper on ‘Teaching Bookkeeping,’ and A. M. Palmer of Cedar Rapids, Ia., on ‘Teaching Penmanship.’ “An executive committeé was appointed to provide for an extended discussion of a model business curriculum next year. The attendance at the meeting showed a larger number of young teachers than ever be- fore, the importance of the subjects result- ing In almost doubling the number of those Present. The Buffalo people were exceed- {ingly hospitable, and nothing was lacking to add to our comfort and enjoyment. Among those who attended the meeting from this city were Commissioner Harris, Mrs. Spencer, Mrs. Fuller, teacher of draw- ing in the public schools; Miss North, as- sistant teacher of drawing; Miss Stoneroad, teacher of physical culture, and Mrs. Smith of the bureau of education.” — THE INQUEST CONCLUDED. Finding of the Coroner's Jury on Sid- mey Randolph's Murder. Correspondence of The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., July 14, 1896. The coroner's inquest into the death of Sidney Randolph, who was lynched near this town early on the morning of July 4, closed yesterday afternoon, when tie jury brought in the verdict expected all along, that the man came to his death at the hands of parties unknown. The full text of the finding was as follows: “We believe that the said Sidney Randolph came to his death by stranguletion at the hands of parties unknown to the jury; and further, that in justice to Sheviff Jolin W. Collier, we would state, In view of unjust attacks made upon him by those high in authority and others, that we think he per- formed his entire duty in the matter.” Several witnesses were examined, and an affidavit from Somerville Bean was read, in which he denied any knowledge of the affair or the persons connected with it. , There is no probability of curther steps be- ing taken in the direction of the apprehen- sion of Randolph's lynchers the authorities, BEERS ERNy, —_~— Indictments Nolle Prossed.
