Hopes of Arrangement Regarding the Metropolitan Railroad—New Brew- ers’ Assembly and Its Intentions. A well-attended meeting of the members of Columbia Typographical Union was held yesterday afternocn and much enthusiasm was manifested. The special business considered was the report of the committee on the new set of by-laws which have been framed in pur- suance of the mandates of the new con- stitution, which was recently adopted. The committee’s report was discussed at much length, but it was finally agreed to. The new rules donot, it is stated, make any very material changes from those formerly in force. As heretofore published in The Star, the annual election of offieers amd biennial elec- tion of delegates to the International Typo- graphical Convention, which meets at Col- orado Springs in October, will be held Wed- nesday next. Street Railway Assembly. A meeting of the Street Railway Assembly was held Saturday evening and was large- ly attended. A report was submitted by a member who had been selected to investigate the rumor that there had been a change in the feel- ings of several of the directors of the Metropolitan Railway Company toward the men who were discharged by their order, to the effect that there was reason to be- Meve that the report was true, and that it was not improbable that the whole difficul- ty will be adjusted and the men reinstated in the course of the next two weeks. The member further stated that it was known that two of the largest stockholders have promised their influence to get the men back on the road, and they had stated, it was said, that if necessary they would bring pressure to bear on the board of di- rectors to accomplish their purpose. It was further stated that one day last week a man who applied for work to Pres- ident Phillips was given employment, but it was with the understanding that he would not under any circumstances take part In a strike against the company. The employe was, however, given quasi per- mission to join an organized labor society if he felt so disposed; President Phillips stating that so far as the man belonging to a@ union was concerned he, Mr. Phillips, had nothing to do with it. The agitation committee reported that they had visited a number of local organi- zations and had requested them to boycott the Metropolitan company, and in every in- stance the committee met with a favorable reception. The secretary read a letter which he had received from the secretary of the Federa- tion of Labor in Baitimore, in which the Street Railway Assembly was informed that efforts were being made by a number of capitalists in that city to secure various railway franchises, and it was believed that the Metropolitan Railroad Company or some of its officers were interested in these schemes, and the writer requested tog be informed whether Mr. Phillips or any of his officers were so interested. The letter further stated that It was the intention of the Baltimore Federation of Labor if Mr. Phillips and the other Wash- ington people referred to were interested in the Metropolitan Railroaé Company of Baltimore to contest the granting to the latter of any privileges whatever unless the Metropolitan company of Washington speedily makes terms with Its discharged employes. A committee was appointed by Master Workman Lawrence to make the investigation asked for in the communica- tion, and to inform the Baltimore Federa- tion of the result. The statement was also made that Mr. Phillips has recently become the owner of a number of patents taken out by Mr. A. Connett, chief engineer of the Metro- politan Railway Company of Washington, for improvements in electrical propulsion, and that he is seeking to Introduce them in other cities. It was stated that District Assembly No. 66, Knights of Labor, will attend the steamboat excursion of the Railway As- sembly In a body, and a committee of ar- Tangements was appointed as follows: Messrs. William Esler, chairman; Charles Beckwith, R. L. Dent, James Trainor, R. B. Rogers, William Smith and John Ryan. Brewery Workers. At a largely attended meeting of brewery workers, held at Arion Hall last Saturday evening, a union* was organized, under a distinctive charter of the National Beer Workers’ Union. Permanent officers were elected, also five delegates to represent the union in the Central Labor Union. It was stated by the members of the new body that the union is composed of the em- pleyes of all the local breweries, and ab- sorbs the membership of Gambrinus Assem- bly. For some time, it is sald, the brewery workers have been dissatisfied with the dual affiliation with the Knights of Labor and the National Brewery Workers, which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. They are also dissatisfied with the management of the beer boycott by the local Federation and D. A. 66, which, they state, resulted in the entire disinte- gration of Gambrinus Assembly several months ago. In conversation with a Star reporter, a member of the new union, who was also a prominent member of Gambrinus Assembly, said: “We have a charter from the National Brewery Workers, which 1s affillated with the American Federation of Labor, and in the future we will only recognize that body. “Gambrinus Assembly, which was under a K. of L. charter, has lapsed, and has not been represented in either the local Federa- tion or D. A. 66, K. of L., for some time. “We now propose to Start anew in full fiation with the Central Labor Union. ynsider them all ‘fair.’ We have no grievance against them, and do not prepose to involve the Central Labor Union in any trouble.” | onl een LIXE THE BUSINESS. A Couple Alleged to Persist in Sell- ing Liquér Mlegally. Martha Williams and John Green, colored, who have served a sentence for the viola- tion of the liquor law, are to be tried again. This time they are charged with a second offense under the law, which provides a severe penalty. When they were arrested some time ago and sentenced the officers found considerable liquor at their house,and this liquor was turned over to them. It 1's now charged by the police that they have been selling this liquor. The Pleas- ant alley house was raided at an early hour yesterday morning, but no liquor was found there. Green told the officers he had heard they were going to raid his house. He denied that he was selling liquor. On Covington street the house of Mary Ann Johnson was raided by the second precinct police. Today these alleged liquor law vivlators were in the Police Court, and Lawyer Closs, their counsel, demanded jury trials. ——__ In the Churches. In the absence of Rev. Wallace Radcliffe, pastor of the New York Avenue Presby- terian Church, the pulpit was occupied at both services yesterday by Rev. Charles A. Dickey, D. D., of Bethany Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia. Assistant Rector Thomas W. Cooke of the Church of the Ascension, 12th street and Massachusetts avenue, was ordained into the priesthood at yesterday morning's ser- vice. Rev. John Eliott, D. D., rector of the church, preached the sermon, and the ordination service was conducted by Bish- op Newton of Virginia. Mr. Cooke !s from Providence, R. I, and graduated from the Virginia Seminary, Alexandria, which he attended for four yeara. He has been as- sistant rector at Ascension since Easter, and succeeded the Rev. Mr. Snyder. Rev. Dr. Thomas Chalmers Easton preached to a large congregation yesterday morning at the Eastern Presbyterian Church on the subject of the fruits of Fight living, taking his text from St. Mark, “He found nothing but leaves.” ae ears To Foreclose.

Business Transacted at the Regular Monthly Meeting of the Board. ‘The board of children’s guardians held its regular monthly meeting at the rooms of the board, in the Gunton building, Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock. - ‘The agent of the board presented his re- port covering the period since the last meeting, which occurred June 27, showing that applications had been made to the board on behalf of thirty-five children, al- leged to be in need of public care. Invest!- gations had been completed in twenty-four cases, in fifteen of which the agent had definitely refused to promote the commit- ment of the children. Three had been re- ferred to the Humane Society, three pres- ented in court, and three satisfactorily pro- vided for through private means. Three feeble-minded children had also been sent to appropriate institutions. Five children had been committed to the care of the board by permanent orders of the United States branch of the Police Cort. The total number of wards of the board is oe 314, and they are distributed as fol- ews: In free family homes. 197 In free institutions. 2 Unsettled .....4..... 5 Total not on expense.. In family homes where board is paid . In institutions where board is paid. 44 ‘Total on expense for maintenance.. 110 Total as above. 314 The home finding work of the board is operating as an effective offset to the com- mitments by the courts, and the number of children now on expense for maintenance is rot greater than it was a year ago. A_ special committee was appomted to confer with the judges of the Police Court and put in operation additional measures to prevent the sending of children and wo- men about to become mothers into the city of Washington from surrounding states, or for the authoritative return.of such as come. ———— WAITING ON THE RAILROADS. Local Democrats and the Proposed Excursion to New York. It was annownced at the meeting of the executive committee of the Interstate Demo- cratic Association Saturday night that the committee on transportation had been una- ble to yet receive a reduced rate to New York from the railroads on the occasion of the excursion to attend the Bryan notifica- tion meeting at Madison Square Garden. This attitude of the railroads is due to their desire to learn the exact date of the meet- ing. There will be, it is said, between 400 and 500 participants in the proposed excur- sicn. A committee was appointed to meet delegates from other local democratic or- ganizations and the central democratic committee at Myer’s Hotel tomorrow night and confer over arrangements for the re- ception to Mr. Bryan when he visits Wash- irgton. —._—__ EXCURSION There will be a special moonlight excur- sion to Marshall Hall and Indian Head on the steamer Macalester tomorrow (Tues- day) evening at » The moon is now gloriously full, and it is safe to predict that Tuesday evening's special trip will be much appreciated and well attended. Dancing and the usual other attractions will hold high carnival at the Hall. The Macalester will leave for home as usual at 9:30. The inmates of the Washington City Or- phan Asylum will be given an outing to- morrow. The heat of summer ts alway trying to children, and they doubtless will enjoy the day hugely. The steamer Macal- ester will carry them to Marshall Hall, and as the guests of Capt. Blake, who has a special fondness for children, they will be given a day's pleasure which they are not likely to soon forget. ——.__ Club Organized. The political ball was started in Prince George's county last Saturday even- ing by a large and enthusiastic democratic meeting, which was held at Lakeland for the purpose of organizing a Bryan and Sewall club. The Mt. Pleasant Band,which was engaged for the occasion, played a number of lively and patriotic airs. The following officers were elected. Pre: ident, Dr. Charles A. Wells of Hyattsvill vice presidents, Dr.Charles A. Fox of Belti ville; Edward A. Newman of Lakeland, J. Cc. Rogers of Bladensburg, Dr. M. D. Humes of Ammendale, B. D. Stephen of Riverdale, Fillmore Beall of Sunnyside, J. Enos Ray of Chillum, Milton E. Smith of Montebello, Dr. W. O. Eversfield of College Park, George T. Donaldson of Vansyille, J. B. Fitzhugh of Landover; treasurer, Pin ney A. Scaggs of Branchville; secretary, John T. Burch of Berwin Heights. Speeches on the silver question were made by J. D. McKabe of Hyattsville, E. M. Burchard of Hyattsville, a former populis: Milton Smith of Montebello, and Ernest P. Baldwin of Laurel, first cuditor of the United States treasury. The club have de- cided to have a pole-raising at Lakeland on Saturday afternoon, August 8. a Defective Street Sweeping. Tp the Editor of The Evening Star: I read the communication in Saturday’s Star and your comments on the same rela- tive to the very unsatisfactory work that is being Gone by the contractors for sprink- lng and sweeping our streets. Your cor- respondent asked a number of pertinent questions, and I would like to put two or three to the Commissioners, who are re- sponsible for the whole miserable manage- ment of the street sweeping department, which has its superintendent and four fi spectors, who are paid good salaries to look after this important work. Why was the irt on F street, our principal business thoroughfare, swept into the gutter Friday right and left there Saturday, to the an- noyance and disgust of thousands who do business on that busy mart? If it is not the duty of the street sweeping superin- tendent to remedy evils and nuisances, whose duty Is it? If he examined the work every morning, as he should, for he has a horse and carriage furnished at the city’s expense for that purpose, such a state of affairs would not exist. There are also paid inspectors on the work who drive around in carrieges at the city’s expense, but if they negiect their duties it is the business of the superintendent to know it, and the Commissioners ought to require him to see that contractor, inspectors and all the employes attached to the street sweeping department do their work proper- ly and for the city’s interests. SUBSCRIBER. —— Wanted in Pittsburg. The local police authorities have received word that George Ward, one of the clever- est crooks in the country, is wanted in Pittsburg. Ward was arrested here dur- ing the Christian Endeavor convention while attempting to work a local diamond dealer, and was sent out of the District. It is claimed that several days ago he robbed a Pittsburg dealer of a valuable diamond by the envelope dodge, deftly changing envelopes after the dealer had placed it in one. — An Unsightly Depression. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: In completing that beautiful stretch of cement pavement on the north side of New York avenue between 9th and 15th streets it is noticed that the alleyway adjoining Seitz’s bekery, near 10th street, has been overlooked. This alleyway is deeper and therefore more dangerous to the unwary pe- destrian, and is equally as unsightly as the one adjoining the Oxford Hotel, at 14th street, which was promptly fixed when at- tention was called to it through The Star. It is hoped in the absence of Capt. Fie- beger, who so promptly looked after such matters, that this omission will be remedied by raising the objectionable depreesion so that the smooth surface of the pavement will be continuous, as it should be. N. W. KING. ee Sunday School Workers. The Sunday school workers of the Ep- worth M. E. Church held a rally last even- ing which was well attended. There were addresses on the subject of the evening by Rev. J. O. Knott, the pastor of the church; Mr. W. T. Hummer, superintendent of the Sunday school, and Mr. W. W. Miller of Mount Vernon M. E.

When the Police Court judges concluded to take their vacation this summer they failed to do as they dia last year, and make provision for assistance on Mondays, when one judge holds both courts, and the re- sult is that last Monday and today Judge Miller was very much overworked. Last year Justice Scott held court on the Mon- days. when one judge was away, but it is said that no provision was made for his salary, so that this year he is attending to his own private practice until he takes charge next Monday for the month of August. The judges take six weeks’ vaca- tion, each judge holding court two weeks without any assistance, the justices hold- ing for one month. Judge Kimball is on his outing in Maine, and will not return until about the Ist of September. At the close of this week’s work Judge Mtller will leave for the seashore, and will return at the end of six weeks. - When Judge Miller reached court this morning he found a well-filled dock, there being more than sixty prisoners, with a total of more than one hundred cases. Hot weather and bad whisky had formed a dangerous combination for many of the victims, and not only were they disorderly, but many of them indulged in free fights. But there were some victims in the crowd who had not been drinking intoxicants. Joshua Hardy was one of this number, and Policeman Payne had arrested him. “How many drinks had you had?’ the court inquired. vho?" “You, of course." “Nary a drink,” he answered. “I don’t drink because I can't, and when the police- man arrested me I was geiting a drink of water at a pump.” “Five dollars. Henry Albert, colored, also a resident of Northeast Washington, a victim of the same policeman, had taken a few “hum- mers” at cheap saloons, between Lincoln Park and the jail Saturday night before he got arrested. “And he made a desperate fight,” said the policeman. “I had to call on his fa- ther to assist me. Then we had to pull its shirt off before we got him to the sta- tion (Ten dotlars or thirty days was the pen- alty.

Williams sajd that he was out riding with a young lady, and some white men on wheels insulted his lady friend. They had some words, and he was :nvited off his wheel to fight “Why did you use this bad language?” the court inquired. “I didn’t use it,” was his response. a “You are fined one dollar,” the court told im. “Have you got the money?” ask bailiff. 2 Saker the No, but I can get “if.” ‘Step back.” Frank Mason, colored, a hard-working man, was. wearing his working clothes when he appeared in the procession and Judge MiNer anxiously inquired about -him. “He's a hard-working man,” sald Poll man Evans, “and he will work, but he will also get drunk.” “Is he always drunk?’ 0, sir; but he usnally manages to get ope every Saturday when he gets paid off. “Do you have muth trouble with him?” “Only when he ts-drank. As he had been lacked up since Saturday night, the court diseharged him. . “This man was beating his wife,” was what Policeman Cooney said of William Burrell, a colored resident of 2st street. “Was he sober?” “No, sir; and he was so loud and profane that I arrested him for disorderly conduct.” Burrell failed to make a satisfactory ex- planation: and the court imposed the usual ine. James Craig and Ernest Johnson, small colored boys who were found in a vacant house this morning, were in the toils as vagrants and suspicious persons. “The other boy asked me to go in the house,” said one of the boys. “And a man told me to go In there and get some clothes,” said the other, “and told me to vacate the house when a policeman came.” The boys were unable or unwilling to tell much about their family connections, and the court sent them down for ten days, ‘Was Tired. A colored man named Arthur Mitchell had indulged in some South Washington “flrewater” Saturday night and was unable to get all the way home without resting in the park. The grass in Seaton Park was soft enough for nim, but Policeman Als told him to get a move on himself or he would get arrested. “He started home,” said the officer, “but didn’t walk fir before he was down again.” All Arthur could say was that he was dak, and the court fined him $3 or nine lays. Harry Gaither, colored, whose wife and children live in Montgomery cgunty, not far from Silver Spring. was in court as a va- grant, when he is really a hard-working man. His experience today was a novel cne, and hereafter he will be more particu- lar about his resting place on the road. “I work the other side of Anacostia,”*said the colored man, “and Saturday afternoon when I finished my week’s work I went up home to spend Sunday with my family. Then I started back home and on the road I stopped in a place to rest.” “I found him in an office near Eckington,” said Policeman Pearson. The officer had an idea that Gaither had been mixed up in a church row in the county, and so he locked him up. “Have you ever been arrested before?” “No, sir.” You may £0.” Carrie Carroll, colored, had been locked up since Saturday night cn a charge of dis- orderly conduct and loud and boisterous talking. “What I want ter be loud and boisterous fer,” asked the girl, “‘when I was with a deaf and dumb man.’ She was released on her personal bonds. Objected to Going. “Mr. Flynn says that things have been quiet about court,” said Prosecuting At- torney Pugh, “and Saturday night he went outside and made an arrest in the person of Thomes G.

I don’t know exactly,” said the officer. ‘He was in the store talking politics, and when I ordered him out he refused to go, and said —- —- if I could take him. He grabbed the counter and said he — — if he would go. I took him, but didn’t take the counter.” “Well, Johnson, what was the trouble with you?” the court asked him. “Nothing ‘tall.” ‘Been drinking?” “Two beer: A fine of $ was imposed. Other Cascs. The excursion steamers yesterday car- ried down large crowds of people who were anxious to spend the day on the salt wa- ter, “shoot the chute” at River View or enjoy the green lawn and amusements at Marshali Hall. Several young colored boys who had been unable to enjoy the luxury of a trip down the river went beneath the Clyde wharf and enjoyed a game of crap in the mud. There they were enjoying a “quiet game” when the members of the crew of the po- lice boat made a raid on them and arrested Benjamin Johnson, John Minor, John John- sou and John Tucker. They were not caught, however, until the officers had been given some trouble, for the players jumped in the river and made a start to swim across to the fiats. Policeman Perry waded in the water to apprehend them, and while they were swimming about the water Harbormaster Sutton drew his revolver to frighten them. The sight of the weapon frightened them, but not to the extent of causing a drown- ing, and when the boys were finally taken to the station Minor was released on col- lateral. His three companions were in court. “They were below high-water mark,” said the officer, “and the tide was low.’ They had not been disonderly, but after being placed under arrest Tucker used pro- fane language, and for this he was fined. His companions were released. “Minor has up $5 collateral for his ap- pearance,” said the officer, “but he isn’t here.” “Then he will lose his money for not com- Ing.” Barefoot alley was the scene of a dis- orderly gathering yesterday, and John Gray, who used bad language, got arrested. He failed to behave himself even after being placed under arrest and the penalty imposed was $5 or fifteen days. A young man named George Lee, a stranger in this section of the country, was in the toils because he had been found sleeping in a box car, and he said he was looking for work. “But,” said the court, “your clothes look as if you have been tramping for some time. “I have,” work.” “Sleeping in a box car 1s not looking for work,” he was told. “We have enough tramps of our own. Thirty days.” John Saunders, a colored man whose mind is thought to be affected, was in court as a vagrant. “He is the man who was arrested for the Kreglo murder,” said an officer, “‘and he’s been loitering about the streets doing no- thing.” “I understand he’s a particular friend of Bailiff Kendig’s,” said Mr. Pugh.
