GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS Fit. Local Notes of Interest to All Classes of Residents West of Rock Creek Bridge. Harry Schneider (or Snyder) was found lying on one of the railroad tracks last night at the junction of the Gler Echo and Tenleytown roads. When parties attempted to raise him he fought desperately. It was thought for a time that the man wanted to end his life, and had lain down so that a car could run over him. A decided wrestle with the man, though, developed the fact that he was in the clutches of a fierce spasm or epileptic fit. The rescuers had a tremendous struggle with the afflicted man. He was brought to the station after awhile. He would say but little about himself. The atempted sulcide charge, though, was stoutly denied. He was sent to the home of his brother, Mr. F. C. Snyder, at 35 New York avenue. Mr. Snyder’s attack greatly weakened him. When brovght to the station he was in a high state of nervousness. It was Stated there by friends who were called up that Mr. Snyder had been attacked similar- ly before. It has always been found neces- sary to exert much force to subdue him to @ rational condition. The unfortunate man is but twenty-three years of age. Stole Harn Edw. Minor was brought to Georgetown yesterday to be identified by Mr. Dicks, a dealer in harness, as the party who some days ago sold him for $3 a set of harness. Minor stole the horse trappings from a party in Hyattsville. He was captured at the request of the Maryland authorities some days ago, and the proper state offi- cers notified. Requisition papers were sent here, but it being discovered that they were improperly drawn, a delay of some days in the transfer of the fellow resulted. In the meantime Minor was committed to jail. The order to turn him over came from Judge Hagner. Chas. Barr, the sheriff, appears on the station blotter here as the complain- ant. Notes. Chas. Bowen was arrested yesterday, charged with assault and battery. John Europe was taken in for being in- toxicated and disorderly. George Morgan, the well-known barber, is dead. Death came after a long and pain- ful illness. Eli Howard, a workman on the new Methodist University, was overcome by the heat yesterday. His affection for some time was believed to be serfous. The patrol wagon was called into service, and the man carried to his home, 2031 35th street. How- ard is fifty-seven years of age. Mr. Richard Young of M street is ill at his home. He has been confined closely for some days. : The first boats to enter town from above the place of last week’s break came in to- day.Sixty of the canal's ships were affected by the breaking away of the towpath. ———_—>__ Denies Discrimination. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I have read In your paper of July 28 the statement of the chairman of the C. L. U. committee that labor union men on the Metropolitan road were required to do two or three times as much of a task as is in ene man’s power to perform. As the super- intendent of the F street line I desire to contradict this statement. The entire work is done under my immediate supervision, and no distinction is made between one man and another. I do not know who are the union men and who are not. No man is set a task that is not reasonable and proper, and which can readily be ‘performed. An instance is cited in the same statement that it Is the custom to assign three men to detach a wheel from the trucks of a car, and that under the express orders of Pres! cent Phillips one union man was required to do this work. I desire to pronounce this entire state- ment a falsehood. No wheel has yet been taken from a car, nor has Mr. Phillips given any orders in regard to this or any other matter of detail. I desire to contra- dict also the statement that a union man while at work was told that the union scale of wages was too high, and unless a man could do more work, so as to make up for the difference between the union and non- union seale, he would have to give up his place. There is no scale of wages, and no distinction is made between any one. , In regard to the two men who were dis- charged, and who claim that they were electrical union workers, I reported one of them to Mr. Phillips as being incompetent to do his work. On that statement Mr. Phillips authorized me to discharge him. It was not known either by myself or Mr. Phillips whether this man was a union man or not, nor was any inquiry made. The other man who was discharged was not only incompetent, but insubordinate, and threatened an assault upon his superior. I discharged this man myself, and Mr. Phil- lips did not know anything about it until this morning. WM. A. HEINDLE, Superintendent. —_-> Did Not Pay. Elijah Chapman, a brawny colored man, went to Sam Wah’s laundry on 4% street a couple of days ago and left his soiled linen to be washed a la Chinese. Sam rendered a bill that amounted to 28 cents. Elijah insisted that his last week’s wash was a larger one, but his bill was on- ly 16 cents then. He grabbed his linen, laid 16 cents on the counter and then start- ed to run. Sam blew his police whistle. This angered Elijah, and he stopped long enough to strike the Chinaman a couple of times before he ran away. Policeman Harries, who was in his house near by, heard the whistle and gave chase, with the result that the colored man was a prisoner in the Police Court this morning. It would have been better for Elijah if he had not fought over the 12 cents involved, for Judge Miller fined him $5. a Lendon Stock Jobbers on the Situa- tion. Mr. Robinson Lappin has received the fol- lcwing from his Edinburgh correspondents under date 16th instant: “Our jobbers in the American depart- ment of the London market wire as follows this afternoon: “Think plenty cheap plums in Yankees, but fancy big men here in states mean putting stocks lower to give silverites a lesson.’ We scarcely agree with this view, though, of course, it {s quite pos- sible it may prove correct, but it appears to us that there is not enough scope for a fall to make an ‘objeci lesson’ of this kind at all effective. Nor do we believe the les- son is really needed. The good sense and judgment of a nation such as the United States of America is not likely so far to desert it, when its material interests are threatened by a few noisy faddists, as to stand in need of any such correctives.” ees eae Reduction in Rate to Bay Ridge.

SHARP RESOLUTIONS ARE PASSED The Proposed Reception to Bryan Taking Shape. M’KINLEY MASS MEETING Mr. Robert F. Mattingly, one of the six democratic delegates from the District to the Chicago convention, was elected presi- dent of the Bryan and Sewall Club of South Washington, which was organized last night, at a meeting held at 308 7th street. The other officers elected were Messrs. Geo. Neitzey, Robert Doyle and M. Wells, all members of the democratic central commit- tee, vice presidents; W. T. Whelan, treas- urer; Daniel Perkins, secretary, and John T. Smith, sergeant-at-arms. Resolutions submitted by Wm. J. Donoho were passed, after discussion over the prop- osition to include a tribute to Senator Hill, which was defeated. The resolutions, as adopted, recited that, as it was one of the cardinal maxims of the democracy of the country that the acts of a majority in con- vention assembled should be quietly re- spected and obeyed by those who participate in its organization or its final result, and as the democracy of the District of Colum- bia represented in the meeting was desirous of imitating this time-honored custom, it was resolved that the mecting fully indorsed the action of the democratic ccnvention in Chicago !n the selection of Mr. William J. Bryan as candidate for President and Mr. Arthur Sewall for Vice President of the United States, and hereby pledge firm and resolute support in aiding in accom- plishing their election. It was further resolved to “repudiate those who have heretofore acted or pretend- ed to act in good faith in promoting the cause of democracy in this District, and who sulk under the lash of the administra- tion, having fattened off of patronage be- stowed upon them, and whose actions are mute in susteining the regular democratic nominees.” After authorizing President Mattingly to appoint a committee of five members to draft by-laws for the club, and one of three members to confer with the central committee over the proposed reception to Candidate Bryan next month, the club ad- jJourned to meet again Tuesday next at the same place. . The Bryan Reception. » Representatives of the democratic cen- tral committee and all the other democratic organizations in the District except the Jackson Democratic Association met last night at Meyer’s Hotel to complete ar- rangements for the reception to Candidate Wm. J. Bryan on the occasion of his ap- Proaching visit to this city, and the great ratification meeting to be held in con- rection with it. There were present Messrs. Thomas B. Kalbfus, Thomas F. Cook, Arthur Small, J. | Frederick Kelley, M. J. Scanlon, John Boyie, Robert E. Doyle, John Wittekindt, John B. Miller and Dr. Henry Darling of the central democratic committee, William Dickson and Capt. John S. Miller of the Columbia Club, the other representative, National Committeeman Lawrence Gard- ner, being in New York: William H. Saun- ders, R. P. Reddick and Robert M. Harper of the Virginla Democratic Association; James L. Skidmore of the Young Men's Democratic Club; Harold Benedict, Thomas G. Allen and C. F. Sugworth of the Inter- state Democratic Association; C. C. Lan- caster, M. F. Peake and O. F. Beaumont of the Maryland Democratic Club, and W. 8. McKean, J. S. Garner and BE. W. Herbert of the New Jersey Democratic Club. The meeting was presided over by Chair- man Kalbfus of the central committee, with Thomas F. Cooke, secretary, and, af- ter a discussion of plans, it was decided to appoint committees to take charge of the several features of the work in hand. The announcement was made that Mr. Bryan would in all probability make a speech here and a formal invitation will be extended to him to do so. A committee for this purpose was chosen, the members being Messrs. Boyle, Kelley, Dickson, Harper, Benedict, Peake, McKane and Bynum. 5 Other committees were appointed as fol- lows: Organization—Messrs. Gardner, Sanders, Doyle, Sugworth, Peake and McKane. The member of this committee from the central gemoceatic committee is yet to be appoint- ed. Hall and music—Messrs. John B. Miller, Riddick, Small, Alien, Beaumont and Gar- ner. Finance—Messrs. Whittekindt, Harper, Skidmore, and Harper. z Another meeting will be held at Meyer's Hotel next Monday night. Silverites Organize a Club. A number of silverites who desire to aid the cause of free silver have organized a Bryan and Sewall Campaign Club of the District of Columbia, with H. J. Brannon as president; W. C. McIntire, vice presi- dent; C. E. Stanford, secretary, and C. L. Bride, treasurer. Resolutions indorsing Bryan and Sewall were passed, and a dis- cussion about the best way in which to sub- stantially assist in their election held. The meeting took place at the office of Mr. H. G. Slater. Republican Mass Meeting. There will be a mass meeting in Cutler's summer garden the evening of August 6, under the auspices of the Virginia Repub- lican Association, at which addresses will be delivered by Thomas McKee, Prof. J. M. Langston, Col. Perry Carson, Milton M. Holland and others in behalf of the elec- tion of McKinley and Hobart. The Gonzaga Lawn Party. Military visitors to the Gonzaga College fete last night were greatly in evidence. Troop A, headed by the Second Regiment Band, and the Emmet Guard were the guests of honor, while the attendanco of just ordinary people ran considerably over the thousand mark. The latter class were filled with good spirits and cash, how- ever, and did not hesitate to get rid of both in the most approved fashion. The visitors were welcomed by Father Gillespie,in a short speech. Among the entertainment features were a fine display of fireworks and fancy dancing by Miss Blanche Riley and general dancing was indulged in on the pavilion throughout the evening. The at- traction this evening will be a cake walk in which eight couples will participate, al- though the regular display of tireworks will be made. There seems to be no doubt of the financial success of the fete and the receipts already footed up do not go below the management's expectations. ee Injured by a Lamp Explosion. The Emergency Hospital ambulance was slightly injured last night by fire caused by the explosion of the lantern attached to it, the curtains and a portion of the cover of the vehicle being damaged. Dickson, Sugwosth, Lancaster RAILROAD MATTERS Interstate Commerce Commission to Decide as tothe Rate War. 2 Roads Preparing for Big Shipments of Grain — An Important Meeting Today. The next move-in the war between the Seaboard Air Line and the Southern rail- way companies will probably be made in Washington befare the interstate com- merce commission, which will, it is under- stood, be asked to decide what is the prop- er course for the Seaboard to pursue in view of the action of Judge Simonton at Flat Rock, N. C., as published in The Star of yesterday. According to the terms of the injunction issued by that judge, both roads named are required to do no rate cutting, but the Seaboard 1s commanded to restore at once its rates to the figure they occupied at the time the recent reduction of rates was made, According to the rules of the interstate commerce commission a railroad company must give that body ten days’ notice of an intended increase in its tariff, and it would seem that under the present state of affairs it will be impossible for the Sea- board to do this and at the same time obey the order of the United States judge. There is an evident willingness on the Part of the officials of both the Southern and the Seaboard to respect the orders of the court, but the Seaboard people de- clare unhesitatingly that the movement which led to the intervention of Judge Si- monton in the matter was inspired by the Seuthern States Freight Association, which had become alarmed as to the pos- sible outcome for some of its members of a Jong continued rate war. An Important Meeting Today. An important meeting of the managers of all the railway lines running between St. Louis and Chicago and Baltimore, Philadel- phia and New York will be held in New York today, to discuss matters of great in- terest to some of the companies. The meet- ing was called at the request of President Ingalls of the Chesapeake and Ohio and Big Four lines, who for some time past has been dissatisfied with the amount of freight both east and west-bound which has been going over his roads, and an effort will be made to arrange the question of tonnage, so that he will get a greater proportion of traffic carrying. In addition to the question of percentages, the meeting will discuss the subject of the moralization of rates, particularly of grain, in the west, and earnest attempts will be made to bring about an adjustment of these, so far as they affect east-bound business out of St. Louis. It is stated that the officials of the Big Four and Chesa- peake and Ohio roads believe that the fall- Ing off in their freight traffic has been due to the unsatisfactory regulations, and it is believed that matters will be so arranged that they will hereafter receive a iarger al- lotment. Preparing for Big Grain Shipments. Baltimore and Ohio officials and those of other roads ‘in this vicinity are prepar- ing for the largest shipments of corn dur- ing the next few weeks that have been made at any time during the past year. It is stated that the recent reductions in rates for grain to the east has had the effect of bringing:out an immense quantity of that grain. A prominent raflway official, who has just returned from a trip through Kan- sas and other western states, said that he fourd corn piled up in cribs at every sta- tion along the western lines. He also stated that the growing corn crop in Kan- sas Is the most promising In years. In 18%) the corn in that state alone reached the enormous total of 201,000,000 bushels. This year it is estimated the crop will reach 300,000,000 bushels. The fact that this year’s crop is assured will make the farmers less desirous of holding cn to old corn. Mr. A. J. Faiebanks, who for almost fifty years was in the employ of the Balti- more and Ohio Railroad Company and for the past twenty-five years was agent at Camden station, Baltimore, has resigned on account of il health. “Some Railroad Changes. Mr. C. H. Goodrich, superintendent and traffic manager of the North Alabama rail- road, has been made assistant general freight agent of the Baltimore and Ohio Scuthwestern in place of Mr. H. Crope, resigned. Mr. George Randolph {is traflic merager of the Baltimore and Ohio South- western, and Mr. Goodrich was general freight agent of the New England when the former was in charge of the trafile of that company. ——— Golden Cross.

POSHDLSSOOVOVSOSOGSESS59900 EXCURSIONS. — That the extreme popularity of the three Weekly trips to Indian Head continues is shown by the number ef people who take advantage of them on every occasion. Those desiring to dance can avail them- Selves of this privilege at Marshall Hall, where Prof. Schreeder’s band renders the latest airs, while‘those who spend the day upon the green lawns may take the ad- ditional trip to Indian Head without extra cost. These trips to Indian Head, made every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening by the Macalester, afford a most delightful sail of over forty miles on the Potomac, where there is no occasion for @ thought of the intense heat of the city. The boat leaves the wharf, foot of 7th street, at 6:30 o'clock. The excursion to be given tomorrow at River View for the benefit of the black- listed employes of the Metropolitan Rail- way Company, under the auspices of the Street Railway Protective Union, will no doubt not only serve its purpose, but give @ large number an exceedingly pleasant outing. The tickets for the outing will be honored on all of the day boats, and the steamer Pentz will carry down the bulk of the excurstonists in the evening at a quar- ter of 7. The price of tickets has been made low, and there is every prospect of the affair putting a good sum into the treasury of the union for the benefit of the men who are out of employment. The most delightful, restful and invig- orating of short trips is that to Fortress Monroe, Norfolk, Virginia Beach or Ocean View. At the latter two points the salt water bathing is particularly fine, the surf being equal to any on the Atlantic coast. The hotels at these points, as well as Fortress Monroe, rank with the best in the country. The steamers of the Norfolk and Washington line leave 7th street wharf every evening in the year at 7 o'clock, ar- riving at Norfolk and other points early the next morning. This route, in addition to being the only direct one, ‘is the most comfortable. The state rooms are large and luxuri@mtly furnished and passengers are sure of a good night's rest. The table is another feature of these boats. The best that the markets afford 1s supplied, which is served in first-class style, at city prices. Capt. E. 8. Randall, the genial proprietor of River View, is a great lover of children, and on Friday night next for the amuse- ment of the young folks he will give his an- nval children’s dress ball in the pavilion at the View. The dancing will be under the direction of Prof. F. M. Proctor, and Chris Orth, jr.'s, orchestra will furnish the music. The floor will be reserved for the children from 6 until 8 p.m., and the little people will be nm in all kinds of fancy dancing. After § o'clock the dancing will be general. These annual dress balls are features each year and are looked forward to with much pleasure by the children. The steamer Pentz will leave her wharf at 10 a.m., 2 and 6:45 p.m. and will return at the Usual hours. About 100 of the children from St. Vin- cent’s Orphan Asylum, with the Sisters of Charity in charge, and other sisters from St. Ann's Infant Asylum, were the guests at River View today of Miss Estelle Ran- dall. The children spent a merry da: shooting the “chute” and in running and playing about the shady and cool lawns at the View, and will return this evening at 6 o'clock. ‘A Wonderful Fedicine.
