The coroner held an inquest yesterday afternoon over the body of Henry Rader, the colored man who was killed by a train at the crossing at 6th and K streets south- east Saturday night. Among the witnesses were the train officials, the gateman and two colored men who saw Rader when he was struck by the locomotive. All agreed that the affair was purely accidental, and was the result of Rader’s own carelessness. The jury, after being out a few minutes, returned a verdict to the effect that death was due to an accident, and that no person or persons could be held responsible. ——_—_ Broke His *Leg-in 2 Runaway. Mr. William Belt,“-twenty-six years of age, was driving along K street near 8th last evening, when his horse became un- manageable and ran away. The animal finally ran Into a telegraph pole, and the driver was thrown out. Mr. Belt was badly brulsed about the body, and also had his left leg fractured. He’ was taken to the Emezgency Hospital in the ambulance.

Committee of 196, Some Subscriptions Not Yet Paid in— Receipts From Unexpected Sources —Present Deficit. Gradually the Christian Endeavor con- vention committee of '96 is settling up its affairs. One or two informal conferences have been held since the convention, and last night a meeting was called to go over the accounts and estimate what amount of funds remained in hand and how much was due and payable in bills rendered and yet to come in. A few of the members were out of the city and“consequently unable to attend, but wherever necessary were represented at the conference. A general casting up of accounts was msde, and after considering all amounts in hand and including sums yet to be received and estimating expenses the committee found tnat it was a little over $1,000« snort. Account was not taken, however, of pos- sible receipts from two sources, which, if realized, it is believed will make it possi- ble for the commitiee to close up accounts without any shortage. There remain yet urpaid pledges to the amount of about $1,500 from Endeavorers of the city, and something like $800 from the business men and citizens. All of this money, it is thought, cannot be collected. Several En- deavorers, after having pledged certain amounts, have removed from the city or met with unexpected demands, so that they have had either to curtail the amount of their promises or default altogether. However, it was decided at last night's meeting to Issue a circular letter to all so- cieties requesting the members who have not yet paid in the full amount of their subscriptions to do so without further de- lay. From the business men the committee sees no reason why the comparatively smail amount not yet paid in, $800, should not be realized promptly. Yet a number of hotels and cafes and other places that did a large business during the convention, it Is said, have cut their pledges in two ard are sending in just one-half of the amounts they promised, while other busi- ness houses have refused altogether to make good thelr subscriptions. The committee is confident that this treat- ment will not be general, but that the large majority of those whose pledges and sub- scriptions remain unpaffi will send in the amounts they promised in good season for the committee to meet bills as they are pre- sented. It would seem as if the business affairs of the committee have been admirably ar- ranged and managed. In addition to the subscriptions from citizens, Endeavorers and others, the committee obtained con- siderable revenue from concessions and other sources, which has helped out very materially. From the excursion committee $168 was reported last night as a partial contribution from rebates. This morning the chairman of the printing committee sent the treasurer of the committee of "9¢ a check for over $400 as the proceeds from the sale of literature and supplies. The public rehearsals of the four sections of the convention chorus, held fn Céntraf’ Hall just prior to the convention, will net, it is ex- pected, in the neighborhood of $00, though the returns are slow in coming in. It is hoped to have all accounts squared up in a short time, so that the committee can be entirely relieved of the duties with which it has been engaged for more than one year and a half. The members express themselves as gratified with the results ac- complished, speaking strictly from a busi- ness standpoint, and are conftdent that every obligation will be promptly met. For them to do this, they say, it is only neces- sary that citizens and members of the so- ciettes in the District Union who have not yet paid up the amounts pledged shall do so without further delay. 9 >—_ HONORING ROBERT BURNS. Scotsmen Here and Elsewhere Mark His Memory Today. The centenary of the death of Scotland’s bard, Robert Burns, which occurs today, is being observed in common by Scotsmen and admirers ef the poet the world over. Burns died and {s buried at Dumfries, and there the principal exercises are held, at which both the Earl of Rosebery and Min- ister Bayard deliver addresses. A pleasing feature of the exercises is the offering of Wreaths of flowers at the mausoleum by representatives of the Scottish societies, Earl Rosebery recetving these tributes in person. The Caledonian Club of Washing- ton recently instructed one of its members, at present residing in Dumfries. to offer a wreath. In anticipation the event a letter was sent July 7 to the provost of Dumiries introducing Mr. Walter Nichol- son. This letter, elgned by Messrs. Wm. A. Taylor, John B. Smith and Robert Ar- mour as a committee, expressed the hope that the wreath presented by Mr. Nichol- son will serve as a gentle reminder that, though few in numbers. the Caledcnian Club of Washington is strong in its admi- ration of Scotia's bard, and that like Scots- men everywhere they would join in doing honor to the memory of Robert Burns. “The members of this club,” the letter continues, “situated at the capital of this great nation, recognise the complete ful- fillment of the prophecy of the poet of the people when, on his deathbed, he remark- ed, ‘Jean, I'll be mair thocht o’ a hunner year after this.’ In the performance of the duty assigned to you, honored, sir, of conducting the centenary of the death of Burns, you must surely realize that the whole world is witn you in spirit, wishins for {ts success and the good results to fol- low."” The club will hold memorial services in honor of the poct this evening in Sheldon’s Hall, 1004 F street. There will be an ad- dress by Rey. Dr. Thomas C. Easton, solos by Mrs. Woodhead and Prof. Pearman, itation by Miss Henderson and danc- is by Miss May Wilding. The exercises begin at 8 o'clock. ie ee THESE MAY SHOOT AGAIN, Guardsmen Who Will Be Allowed to Enter the Second Rifle Competition.

THE EVENING: STAR, TUESDAY, JULY 21, 189¢6-TWELVE PAGES. LABOR UNION GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS ‘Will Again Be Mustered Into the District | The Metropolitan Moitleay Has Been Placed | An Attractive Entertainment for St. Anne's National Guard. Capt. Domer Tells of the Lesson Learned and Makes Promises for the Future. Somewhat of a bombshell was exploded in military circles today, when it leaked out that the National Fencibles, for several years the champion military company of the United States, and a company of the District of Columbia National Guard from the date of the organization of the latter, in 1887, until a year ago, had decided to again become a military company in the eyes of the law, by re-entering the District Guard. It will be remembered very well that last July the Fencibles were mustered out of the National Guard for general inefficiency. The action occurred soon after the conclu- sion of the brigade encampment at Fort Washington, where the command, then designated Company C, 2d Battalion, had reported with a woefully small attendance. ‘The disbandment of the company as a Na- tional Guard organization created a good deal of taik, and for some days the news- papers were in receipt of communicatione setting forth vigorous arguments pro and con regarding the situation. The Fencibles secured quarters at 913 E street, and estab- lished a military club. Being without arms, equipment and facilities to drill, the mili- tary spirit gradually degenerated. The company was refused entry in the recent Savannah interstate drill because it was not enlisted in the National Guard, and in other ways felt the handicap that invariably marks “independent” military companies. What Capt. Domer Says. “Yes, it is true that we are to again be a part of the District Guard,” said Capt. Domer to a Star reporter today. “Because of the absence of facilities for drill and the necessary outfit, the military spirit in the company has fallen off to a great extent, and some months ago I realized that strong measures must be adopted if it was desired to continue the organization as a military company. We were existing beautifully us a club, and could have continued to do so. In fact, we have received several offers to consolidate with other organizations, but the old members did not take kindly to the idea of ending the existence of the National Fenclbles, after its successful career as a military company. “Some weeks ago at a meeting of the beard of directors I argued in favor of winding up the affars of the organization or pursue the only other course open—to re-enter the Natiunal Guard. The question was put to the company, and it was de- cided almost unanimously to adopt the lai- ter course. The officers were appointed a committee to walt on Gen. Ordway, and the hearing was had by appointment. I explained to the general that our visit was in the nature of a return of the prodigal son. I explained to him that we thoug: his object in mustering us out had been ac- complished. It was a lesson in discipline to the remainder of the National Guard, and we realized tts value and were ready! to return and make the work of the Guard, our first consideration. Gen. Ordway re- plied that he also thought that mustering, out the Fencibles had been a decided les- scn, that fact being attested by the sati. factory results of the last annual inspe ticn. He added that he was not only wili- ing to receive the company back, but was very glad to have us return. Wil Aguin Compete in Drills. “I very frankly explained to the general that one object we had in again joining the ranks of the brigade was to enable us to participate in interstate competitive drills in the future. I still maintain that I am right in claiming that the National Fencibles. or any other independent com- pany 1s eligible to compete for the Galves- ton championship cup. However, obsta- cles would be thrown in our path, and thé simplest way out of the difficulty is to en- ter the Guard. “At the next Interstate competition we shall endeavor to show that as a drill team we have not seen better days, but, as I have stated, the company will attend strict- ly to its National Guard duties, and there will be no complaint to follow on that score, “We shall at 9 o'clock this evening pre- sent from forty to forty-eight men ready to enlist. A dozen or more of our best members are at present out of the city and camnot be mustered in until next winter. We will have an associate membership, to which those who do not care to enter the Guard will be transferred. We will retain our quarters on E street for the present, because we have a five years’ lease on the property, and because there is no room for us at present in the National Guard ar- mcry. We have recently completed the erection of a spacious locker room in the rear of our building and are fixed very nicely indeed. It is not yet determined as to our assignment, but in all probability the National Fencibles will be again of cially designated Company C, 2d Battal- fon,” —__.__—. AMUSEMENTS. National Theater—When it was an- nounced in the bills that the sixth week of the Summer Comedians would be devoted to a reproduction of Charles Matthews’ comedy, “My Awful Dad,” with Frederic Bond as M. A. D., there was a feeling among a good many people that “My Awful Dad" was a chestnut, and the cause of Thespis Torridus would not be benefited by presenting it to the public. That was the feeling yesterday; last night when the cur- tain went down on the third act that feel- ing had disappeared utterly, and in Its stead was one to the effect that “My Awful Dad” was an entirely new play, having its initial performance, and that the audience had never seen a play half so good. The cast Included the talent of the company, and the talent won at every turn. Mr. Bond was like an old friend as Adonis Evergreen, and Mr. Mackay was at his best as his over-particular son, while Mrs. Findlay as Mrs. Biggs was compelled to postpone her opening lines, so loud and persistent. was the applause that greeted her. Miss Chap. man was a new Widow Wedagain, and she put into the character a most refreshing vivacity and all the graces of widowhood. Miss Sanders was a delightful boy, as plump as she was pretty. Miss Corinne Parker and Miss Seaman are new acquaint- auces in the play, and Mr. Findlay is an old one likewise. Mr. Boag in two characters is good in everything he undertakes. In fact, everybody was in spirit, and “My Awful Dad” fairly boomed, and there was a fine audience to enjoy it, too. As a curtain raiser a new play, by Paul Wilstach, was presented. It was called “Bluff,” and was presented by Mr. Mackay, Mr. Findlay, Mr. Boag and Miss Sanders. ‘The plot 1s a simple one of a young Har- vard man (Mackay) “going broke” and taking a position of waiter at a summer hotel, where his rich uncle (Mr. Findlay) and his sweetheart (Miss Sanders), quile unknown to him, are stopping. Here is where his “bluff” comes in, and he makes it to win, and wins. This little play is a more interesting and natural one than Mr. Wilstach’s previous effort, “Bridget.” Gonzaga Lawn Fete.—The Gonzaga Col- lege lawn fete started in on its second week last night in a most auspicious man- ner. The settled state of the weather had much to do with the increased attendance, and nearly every foot of space on the grounds was utilized. The stands, booths and tables did a rushing business from the start-off, the refreshment tables where liquids were sold being the ones most pa- tronized. The dancing pavilion was crowded during every number of the or- chestra, while the special features of the fete, such as “shooting the chute,” the merry-go-round and other like diversions took in many a dollar before the close of the evening. ‘The special entertainment feature of the evening was a cake walk, participated in by eight couples of dusky hue, Mr. Thomas H. W. Smith, the veteran conductor of cake walks, acting as master of ceremonies. The victorious couple was Peter Barnes and Miss Julia Carter, and the decision pleased the large audience to a great extent. The cake walk will last to- night and tomorrow evening, and spécial entertainment features will be provided until the close of the fete —_.__ One cent a foot or $1 per 100 ft. will buy nive wide boards uny length you wish, or all 12 inches wide, $1.26 per 100 ft.

Upon the Unfair List, Gambrinus Assembiy to Be Organ- ised Into a Bederation Union— Other Business Transacted. ——— The Central Laber Union at its regular weekly meeting lagt evening, with Presi- dent Milford Spohn:in the chair, voted to place the Metropolitan Railroad Company on the unfair list, and adopted the follow- ing preamble and resolutiors: “Whereos, a number of members of the Street Rallway Assembly have been dis- charged from the service of the Metropol!- tan Railway Company for no other reason than that they were members of a labor organization, therefore, be it “Resolved, That we, the representatives of the trades unions of the District of Columbia, do hereby condemn the action of the Metropolitan Street Railway Com- pany as being inhuman, tyrannical and un- American; “Resolved, further, That we pledge our- selves to aid the locked-out employes in every lawful manner to the end that the said railroad company may be compelled to recognize organized labor.” The decision of the Central Labor Union Was not reached until after an exhaustive discussion of the subject. Messrs. Dent and Ryan, the committee from the Street Railwey Assembly, who appeared before the body and requested that the C. L. U. boycott the Metropolitan road, were asked by President Spohn whether the request to do so came from the Street Railway As- sembly, or whether, in case the request was granted by the C. L. U., it was the in- tention of those interested to construe such @ course 8 an indorsement of the action of District Assembly, No. 66, Knights of Lator, and the locul federation in the same ratter. For some time there was_no_ response to Mr. Spohn’s question, and it was not until after the chair had made the inquiry four separate times Mr. Dent arswered that the petition came from the Street Railway Assembly, and that the other two bodies named had nothing to do with the request. The resolutions, as above printed, were then adopted. Later in the evening, on motion of Dele- gate Silver, a committee, composed of Dele- gates Silver, Wolf and Meagher, was ap- Pointed to investigate the whole subject of the pending troubles between the Metro- politan Railway Company and its dis- charged men, with instructions to report the result at'a future meeting of the Cen- tral Labor Union. The secretary was instructed to write a letter to President Phillips of the ratlroad company, informing him that if agreeable to Mr. Phillips the committee will have a talk with him concerning the difficulty Friday afternoon next. Delegate Wolf reported that the power house of the Washington and Baltimore Electric Railway Company was about to be constructed by non-union men. The matter was referred to the contract committee. Delegate Gant of the Steam Fitters’ Union’ reported that the houses ef. Warren .& Biggs and James-Hendley had signed the contract” of the ‘union in ‘referenee to an! eight-hour day, amd recomended that, the names of those houses be removed from’ the unfair Hst. The request was granted: A committee from: Journeymen Horse- shoers’ Union No. 17 was granted the floor for the purpose of entering a protest against the issuance of a charter to the new Horseshoers' Union which has been formed in the District, and which, when organized; will be: affiliated, with .the,Cen- tral Labor Union and A. F. of L. After Tstening attentivety to all: that the eommit+ tee had to say in reference to the matter, avid to a committee from the new organiza: ton inveply, the Central Labor Union yoted to reaffirm ‘their previoug:action on thé subject, which was to indorse the applica, tion of the new organization for a charter from the American Federation of. Labor. At the request of the members of Gam- brinus Assembly; @rganizer‘ Weber was in- structed to attend the next meeting of Gambrinus for the purpose of forming them into a union, to, be conected with the Cen- tral Labor Union. This action was the out- come of an agreement made.by the general officers of the National Brewery Workers’ Union with thase of other national bodies affected that the brewery workers here and in many-other cities throughout the United States will withdraw from the K. of L. by September 3, and become affiliated with the A. F, of L. The new organization will contain only brewery workers, and not drivers-and other employes in general, a3 was the case with Gambrinus. ‘The order of business was suspended to allow Mr. James Wood, one of the vice presidents and general’ organizer of the International Cigar Makers’* Union, to make a statement in reference to a north- ern firm, which he said sold many cigars to the dealers in the District. of Columbia. Their factory was, he said, a veritable slave pen. sae Credentials were received from the Elec- trical Workers, and the delegates were ‘ad-' mitted and obligated. The Bakers’ Drivers, Plasterers, ‘Tile Layers and Carpenters’ assemblies at their several meetings last evening voted to in- dorse the boycott of the Metropolitan Rail- road Company. —___ CROWD WILL Go.
