The Choral Society Displays the Most Activity of the Local Organization: Many people think that the outlook for next season from a musical standpoint 1s not very encouraging. fact that in the year of a presidential elec- tion there is always a hard time in musical circles, and that the coming fall will be worse than usual, because it will follow up- on a couple of seasons that have been dis- astrous to many ventures. Generally at this time there is some indication, either in absolute booking or in inquiries for time, of the musical attractions that will visit Wash- ington during the following winter. Only one attraction for next season in that line has been positively booked, and that ‘s the Boston Symphony Orchestr: which will give its usual sertes of five con- certs, and is booked at the new Columbia Opera House. It is also probable that Ro- senthal, the pianist, will give one or more recitals this city. Who he will bring with him is not yet known. It has been several years since he visited this city, and he will be welcomed by those who heard ard admired him before, as well as by those wko now only know him by the high reputation he has acquired by his brillant werk across the water. Henry Marteau, the young French vio- linist who created such a favorable impres- n during his first visit to Washington, will come to this country again next sea- son, and it is hoped he will be heard here. Locally, things musical are not very ac- tive, the only society that has formulated any definite plans for the season being the Choral Society. An outline of what this organization will do has already been pub- lished in The Star. Mr. Stone, the secre tery of the Georgetown Orchestra, says that no definite plans have yet been ar- ranged for next season. The orchestra may give two concerts, or it may simply re- hearse under Mr. Gloetzner’s direction, and not appear publicly at all. Mr. Oswald Welt! will be heard in solo work rext season, as it fs said to be his intention to give one or two recitals, where his skill as a violinist can be displayed. He has also a plan of joining with two other musicians to play chamber music. Mr. Herman Rakemann ts playing at Lake George. ir. Henry Xander has accepted the mu- al directorship of the Washington Saen- serbund and will enter upon his duties. It is understood that Mr. John Porter Lawrence, who will be the director of the new quartet choir of the New York Avenue Pr erian Church, 1s very anxious to securc Mrs. Margaret Nolan-Martin as the contralto, but it 1s not yet settled that she will leave St. Matthew's, where she nas sung for many years. Miss Anita Cluss, harp virtuoso of this city, was recently engaged to play harp so- los at Keith's New Theater in Boston, Mass., where she met with marked success. In fact, Miss Cluss has been highly sue- cessful wherever she has played this sum- mer. Miss Wood entertained the Sunday Night Music Club at her residence, on M street. The program included the first Beethoven piano_conce: arranged a and layel by Misses Rebecca Behrend and ‘ie Moore; a Svensden romance, for vio- by Miss Florence King ydn symphonies.

Adied to the program was Dalbey’s great descriptive piece, “From Fireside to Battlefield,” and Conductor Brooke gave this with the assist- ance of superrumeraries, auxiliary band and a heavy artill ompaniment that made the national air in the closing strains arouse the most patriotic burst of enthu- m. Pain & Sons, who are giving an open-air spectacle in the same park, hon- ored the occasion by presenting Brooke's picture in fire, in a fr feet square. Mr. ‘ame thirty ALE > PRODUCE MARKET. WHO!

More Correspondence With President PAillips—May Be Trouble at Lakeland The committee appointed on the part of the Central Labor Union to-call on Presi- dent Phillips of the Metropolitan Railway Company and ask him if it was true, as repcrted, that he had disckarged two of his employes because they were members of Labor Union, No. 26, of Electrical Work- ers, yesterday afternoon went to the office of the company in Georgetown to perform the duty assigned them, but were unable cn account of his absence to see Mr. Phil- Ups. The committee will make another effort to have an interview with Mr. Phil- lips before the meeting of the Central la- bor Union Monday evening. Secretary Torrens of the C. L. U. has re- ceived a letter from Mr. Phillips in reply to one from the former on the subject of the visit of the committee. Inclosed in the communication from the president of the railread company was a cutting froin @ morning paper denying that Mr. Phillips Was opposed to labor unions, and alsomh copy of the statement relative to the dis- charge of the men from Secretary Wilson, as published in The Star several weeks ago. Mr. Phillips also stated in his letter that he was not responsible for the dismissals. as they were made by order of the board of directors, but that he would cal! the at- tention of the directors to Mr. Torrens’ letter at the next meeting of the board. Officers ef Pavers’ Protective Union, to serve for the ensuing term, were installed last evening, the temporary officers, whose names hive already appeared in The Star, having been made permanent. ‘he fol” lowing were elected delegates to the Cen- tral Labor Union: Messrs. E. P. Lynch, Frank Stewart, Thomas Vetterhoff, John Slaver and William Rogers. Ten new members were admitted. At the meeting of the Bricklayers’ Union last night the committee on contracts for suits and hats for Labor day renortei having concluded a contract with Robin- son, Chery & Co. to furnish suits for that occasion. The contract fer hats will not be awarded for several days. The members of the union will be uni- formed in dark blue flannel sack suits, with dark brown fedora hats. It 1s stated that at least 550 suits will be ordered and that not less than that number of the member- ship will participate in the parade. The construction of the power house of the Washington and Baltimore electric railroad at Lakeland, Md., by non-union labor and by members of the union under conditions in violation of the international law, being reported, the delegate was di- rected to notify the men to quit work, and the secretary was instructed to inform the Baltimore and Hagerstown unions of the conditions at Lakeland and request that no members of these organizations be permit- ted to work upon this construction. The secretary was also instructed to communi- cate with the Central Labor Union and Bullding Trades Council and request that those bodies take action in the matter. It is considered that the conditions under which this work is being done are such as to demand immediate and decisive action, it being reported tnat the men are working ten hours per day at a wage of $3.30. The union requires that $4 shall be paid as the wage of a day of eight hours. Sunday seems to be the most popular day of the season at Marshall Hall.

The regular trips of the steamer Jane Moseley will be made to Colonial Beach to- morrow morning and this evening. The time of starting tomorrow is 9 a.m., whil the start will be made this evening at 6:3 The Jane Moseley is well known to river ex- cursionists as a fast, safe, commodious boat, and no mistake will be made by those who take an outing on her. The attraction this evening at Colonial Beach is doubled on account of the ball to be given there, and this will undoubtedly influence a great number to make the trip. Passengers may stay over until tomorrow evening cr make the return trip tonight, just as they please. The steamer John Sylvester will leave this evening at 5, instead of 6 o'clock, for Co- lonial Beach. This change is made on ac- count of the fact that a grand ball will be in progress at the Casino, at the Beach, this evening, and the management of the boat wishes to give excursionists all the time possible to enjoy it. The boat will leave the Beach on the return trip at 1 a.m., and, as it arrives there about ¥, a stay of four hours will be given at the pleasurable resort. The ball is given by the manage- ment of the hotel at the Beach, and music will be furnished by Esputa’s Gre well as the regular Casino Band.

In spite of the rainy weather the excur- sion of the employes of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home and Belt Line railway to River View yesterday was a great success and was attended_ by nearly 1,200 persons. The day was spent most en- joyably in “shooting the chate,” dancing and with the numerous other attractions on the View grounds. —— Slight Fire on H Street. A slight fire was occasioned about 11 o'clock this morning by a defective gas stove in the office of Dr. Alice W. Harvey, at 1811 H street northwest. The house is rented by Miss Emma Wheat, and the fire gained some little headway before it was discovered, the smoke from it being laid to other causes. Upon the arrival of the chemi- cal the blaze was put out in short order, and the damage will amount to not more than a couple of hundred dollars. There was no insurance. The fire started in the corner of a back room used by the doctor as a private office, and was confined to one corner. The loss 1s principally in clothes and professional apparatus. FLAGSTONES WENT FLYING Explosions in an Electsic Wire Oonduit Oause Excitement. ‘The Pavement in Front of the Trea- sury Blown Up—Cauxed by the Ignition of Gas. Several loud explosions startled and frightened everybody in the vicinity of the Treasury Department about 10 o'clock last night, and attracted a large crowd of ex- cited people to the neighborhood. Those who were first to investigate found that several of the large flagstones on the west side of 15th street, in front of the treasury building, lying above the underground con- duit of the United States Electric Light Company, had been blown up, and it was concluded that the ignition of gas col- lected in the conduit had.caused the ex- plesions. Four eruptions occurred, two near the northeast corner of the treasury and the others at the southeast corner. They occurred at intervals of a few min- utes each, and owing to this peculiarity a large group of persons placed themselves in serious danger. When the first ex- plosion came a large flagstone, measuring eight feet by four, at the northeast cor- ner of the treasury, was blown three or four feet in the air. As soon as the peo- ple in the vicinity recovered from the shock a number of them ran over to the scene to ascertain the cause. Tivo or three scores of the curious were engaged in examining the hole in the sidewalk when the second explosion occurred and a naller flagstone only a few feet away as thrown high in the air. here was an immediate scramble for safety by the over-zealous investigators, and one man was so frightened that he fell flat on his face and went through all the motions of swimming on the concrete. The guards in the treasury were very much ex- cited, some of them thinking that an attack as being made on the cash room and ut their iety was quickly al- Night Watchman King and Po- licemen Emmert and Kenney, who were on the ground, and who app’ the guards of the situation. The electric light com- pany and precinct station No. 1 were no- tified, and electricians and additional po- licemen were soon present. A rope was streiched to keep back the crowd, and Su- perintendent Chamberlain put his men to work repairing the damage to the conduit and the cables containing the wires, Capt. A. A. Thomas, president of the company, also came quickly to the spot, and was of the op:nion that gas had accumu- lated in the conduit ad been ignited from an electrics} $ an unusually heavy current was on, the entire power of the engines being exerted at the time to discover the whereabouts of a grounded Wire near the Bijou Opera House.

A dispatch sent from Pittsburg one day this week stated that Lozal Assembly No. 200, Knights of Labor, better known as Workers, had decided to pay $2,000 delinquent per capita tax to the Gen- cral Assembly of the Knights of Labor, whcse headquarters are in Washington, and to withdraw from the order. about $100,000 in the ut of the r the c order of I, revert to the General A reported action of th ev of em Pittsburg local at- tracted much attention throughout the ecuntry.

The convention which is reported to have just voted to withdraw from the or- der is composed of delegates from the various preceptories, and under their own and our laws no such action as is reported could be taken which would be binding upen the total membership. All important measures must be submitted to a referen- dum vote of the membership throughout the country, and in such a case as this the gencral constitution provides, in article section 201: ‘Any member of the order advocating its disruption, or the withdrawal of any local assembly or other assembly from the order, shall by that act stand ex- pelled from the order." “This may seem a harsh provision, but when it is understood that any member is free at any time to settle his accounts and honorably withdraw from the society, which on entering he has pledged his honor to support and maintain it.wil] be acknowl edged that only by such a provision could constant trouble be avoided from men who ccme in only from a desire to disrupt.

And why is it that the sweeping is so unsatisfactory? Yesterday evening, on 13th street near U street, two watering carts preceded the sweeping ma- chines. From one of the carts a smail stream issued; sufficient to moisten a strip about four feet wide down the street cen- ter for a square. Then the stream was shut off entirely, so that the entire road- way was left dry. Cart No. 2 was alto- gether a superfiuity. The sweepers came along in rear of the procession, but their work was done as carelessly as the sprink- ling had been. ‘The mechanical brooms barely skimmed the asphalt, and when they had rolled away on their perfunctory Pilgrimage they left the dirt practicaliy undisturbed; a corn cob and a number of fallen leaves which were immediately be- fore me as I stood on the sidewalk to w the so-called cleansing process were undisturbed. I realize that it is to the coi tractor's financial advantage to slight his work—it takes time to fill water carts and new brooms cost money—but has the pub- lic no rights in this important matter? ts the sweeping ard whea and how is the inspecting done?
