Va. my25 w,w,f, Continued Discussion of the Metro- politan Railway Trouble. . BREWERY WORKERS’ RUMORED ACTION Activity of the Various Labor Or- ganizations. NOTES OF THE UNIONS The meeting of the Street Railway As- sembly which was held Saturday even- irg was well attended and in. some re- spects was the most interesting that has yet taken place. The discussion, how- ever, developed that the lockout of the men belorging to the assembly by the Metropolitan Railway Company has al- ready resulted in breaking up one previous- ly Rappy home, and that unless the men who are now unemployed soon get work other equally happy homes are threatened with destruction. The case first referred to was that of a former car driver, who was in the employ of the company for seventeen years. For a long time his wife has been sick and his pay of $2 per day was barely sufficient to provide her with the services of a phy- sictan, the medicines ordere-I by the latter and the members of his household, in which there were several children, most of them small, with the necessaries of fe. Since the discharge of the husband and father the sick mother has been forced to go to a hospital in Washington, where she is now being cared for, and the chil- dren? with one exception, have found a refuge in one of those institutions which some good people of the District have pro- vided for boys and girls whose circum- stances compel them to accept of this sort of hospitality. The exception was that of the eldest daughter, who fortunately received the benefits of an excellent education and was able to procure a position as governess, ard from the pay of which she is assisting her parents as much as is in her power. The River View Excursion. In the absence of Master Workman Thos. J. Lewrence and the disinclination of Worthy Foreman James Trainor to preside, Mr. F. M. Dent, chairman of the executive board, was called to the chair. Mr. Wil- Mam F. Dement was secretary. The reports relative to the recent excur- sion to River View for the benefit of the locked-out men showed that the affair was a financial success. Mr. Dent, who is the only one of those who were discharged who now has work at remunerative wages, declined to receive any part of the pro- ceeds, and the net amount, after paying all the expenses of the excursion, was ordered divided among the other twelve. As, how- ever, they have row been unemployed for two months, the sum received was not sufficient to help them out of their financial difficulties to a very great extent. Alleged Misrepresentation. There was much discussion relative to the pending trouble between the members of the assembly and the railroad company, and it was stated that the letters which have been written by President Phillips and some of the officers and directors have not only not stated the facts, but have had the effect, it was believed, of keeping some of the men from getting employment else- where, and it was agreed that if the rail- Way company’s officers or any of the direc- tors will produce names of persons whom the discharged men have tried to influence against the railway company and the dates when these things are said to have oc- ed, the locked-out men would give up the fight and accept the actions of the di- rectors and President Phillips as just. Attention was also called to the fact that the assembly has on its files a letter from the secretary of the company, written one week before the men were discharged, to the secretary of the Railway Assembly in reply to one from the latter, requesting an Interview with the directors, in order to smooth away any supposed difficulties ex- isting between the company and its em- Pioyes, and that in his reply the secretary of the railroad company stated that “there Was no necessity for an interview, as there were no grievances existing between the two parties and that the company was not discharging any one, not even those whose influence was deleterious to the company.” The Steele Case. The case of Mr. J. T. Steele, who was, it has been alleged, discharged a few days ago because he was a member of the Street Railway Assembly, was also brought to the attention of the meeting. Mr. Steele was not present, but one of the members said that he had a conversation with Mr. Steele on the subject of his discharge, and that Mr. Steele told him that after receiv- ing his notice of dismissal he went to Mr. Coleman, the present secretary and general manager, and asked him why his place was taken from him. To this Mr. Coleman, so Mr. Stecle stated, replied (after taking out the record book and reading therefrom): “You were trans- ferred from the front end of the car, where you were a driver before the power was changed to electricity, to the back platform and made a conductor at the request of Michael Casey and F. M. Dent, both of whom were an.ong thore discharged some Weeks ago, and, as your influence is gone, you will have to go, too, and you are not the only one who will have to go. Besides this, you were not satisfied to belong to the treet Railway Union, but had to go and Join the Knights of Labor.” It was also stated that General Secre- tary-Treasurer Hayes tried a few days ago to have an interview with President Phil- Eps in reference to taking the men back on the road, but that he was unable to get to see Mr. Phillips. Mr. Hayes then, it is stated, informed Secretary Coleman, whom he met at the railway company’s oflice, that it was the full determination of the general executive board of the Knights of Labor to ask Congress at its next ses- sion to pass laws taxing the franchise of the street railway companies in the Dis- trict of Columbia, and also to reduce car fares to three cents. Mediation Offered. A communication from a merchant on 4% street was read, in which the writer expressed hig willingness to be one of a committee of business men who would call on the authorities of the Metropolitan Ratlway mpany and ask that the dis- charged men be reinstated in their former positions, and in this connection one of the leading members of the assembly stated that he had recently had a conversation on the subject of the pending troubles be- tween the railway men and the railroad company with a prominent merchant doing business on F street, during which the lat- ter expressed the pope that the men would get back to work before the opening of the fall trade, as he feared the agitation of the matter at that time would be detrimental to business on that street. A communication wag also received from several warm friends of the locke1-out men suggesting that a mass meeting in the in- terest of the latter be held in the near future, and naming several halls which, it was said, could be procured free of cust for such a purpose, but no definite action was taken in relation to the matt2r, although it was generally understood by all present that @ movement of that sort would be desirable. Ramored Union. At a meeting of Gambrinus Assembly 1349, K. of L., held last Saturday evening at Arion Hell, the statement which has been current for several days, that the orewery workers were affiliated with the Central Labor Union as Union 118, and that the assembly had lapsed, was declared as being false. The report will be publicly denied, and it will be officially stated that the assembly and Union 118 yet remains a dual organization, as Gambrinus Assembly 1849, a distinctive K. of L. organization, and that it does now and ever will hold allegiance to the Knights of Labor. That the meeting was quite an important one was evidenced by the interested a tendance of members from the Painters’ Assembly, Eccentric Engineers, Street Railway Assembly, celsior Assembly and Gelegates of the local federation and D. A. 68. It was stated th held under a “red le’ the meeting was er” call, and was EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken at 8 a.m., 75th meridian time. ‘Solid lines are 1s0- bars, or lines of equal air pressure, drawn for each tenth of an inch.

A member of an organization who Is in- timate with many of the brewery workers, and through whose efforts Union 118 was organized, stated that the union {s com- posed exclusively ef brewery workers, and they organized against the protests of the K. of L. element. “I know them all,” he said, “and those men who are employed in | the breweries have severed all connnection with the K. of L.” A member of the Central Lavor Union, in speaking of the mecting Satumlay night, said: “I hardly think that a statement such as that will be m when it is a fact easily proven that Local Union of Brewery Workers No. 118 of Washington, D. C sent delegates with credentials properly signed and sealed to the Central Labor Union, and the five delegates were obl ed. The credentials stated that they were not affiliated with the K. of L. “f cannot understand how a brewers’ as- sembly can even remain with the K. of I when more than six months ago it was known that an order would issue from the headquarters of the National Brewery Workers’ Union requiring every brewer's assembly to withdraw from the K. of L. next September or stand expelled from the national body. The only brewery workers having an organization here are those of No. 118, represented in the Centrel Labor Union, notwithstanding any denial or state- ment that may be made.” Withdrew From the Federation. The Hodcarriers’ Union at the last meet- ing withdrew from the local federation, and decided to affiliate with the Central Labor Union. Being an independent local without a charter, they have applied, through the district organization, for a charter from the American Federation of Labor, and the hody will be installed as a local under the national jurisdiction. Five delegates were elected at the last meeting to represent the union in the Central Labor Union. ‘The hedcarriers’ was the largest organi- zation in the local federation, having a membership of 450. President Preston of the union, when asked the reason for the withdrawal from the local federation and alliance with the Central Labor Union, sald: “We have been considering this matter for some time. We have been dissatisfied with the local federation and were con- vinced that it could do nothing for us. We think our proper place ts Labor Union, with the trades who, when we need help, can give it. Then We are a union, and all unions should be together.” The Barbers’ Union. The employing barbers who were mem- bers of the newly organized Barbers’ Pro- tective Union have withdrawn from the or- ganization, leaving it a union of journey- men distinctively. Though many of them were charter members, It was ascertained that under the national law none but jour- neymen were eligible to membership. The employers, it is stated, are favorable to the new organization, and will employ none but members of the union. There has been some delay in receiving the display cards which are furnished from headquarters. These cards will be posted in the windows of every union shop. A sample card 1s now displayed in the win- dow at 705 7th street northwest. It is the first of the kind ever displayed in this city, and is sufficiently conspicuous to attract attention. It 1s a white card, about ten inches square, having ‘Union shop” printed in large red letters on the upper and lower margin. In the center is the design of an eagle upon a shield, bearing the legend “Labor omnia vincent.” On the right mar- gin is the international seal in gilt, and on the left margin is the local seal in blue. At the last meeting sixteen new members were obligated, increasing the enrolled membership to sixty-six. Benjamin B. Yost was unanimously elected as delegate to represent the union at the next international convention of the body, which will be held in Evansville, Ind., on the first Tuesday in October. A Joint Meeting. A joint meeting of committees represent- ing the local Federation of Labor, District Assombly No. 66, Knights of Labor, and the Eccentric Engineers’ Association, was held yesterday, and arrangements com- pleted for the proper observance of Labor day. It was stated, after adjournment, that there was every reason to believe that all the bodies represented in the federation and D. A. 8, K. of L., would give the af- fair their hearty and undivided support. It was further said that for the excursion, the proceeds of which are intended to be de- voted to the | Sieg of a@ monument to the late E. J. Rea and wife, over 4,000 tick- ets have been engaged, and it was believed that several thougand others would be sold. The program prepared by a committee composed of Messrs. C. H. Wooden, C. H. Holmes and A. M. Lamson, was submitted and approved by an unanimous vote. The rogram comprises many interesting fea- ures, and: will, it is thought, give general satisfaction. In response to an appeal from a commit- tee of the Journeymen Coopers’ Union, the health inspectors have taken steps to pre- vent the use of any but perfectly clean (on the inside) barrels for the packing of any kinds of food products. ——.+— ‘Transfers of Real Estate.

Twenty-One Denth Recorded Philadelphia, With each day's continuance of the ter- rible heat, the mortality at Philadelphia increased, until yesterday twenty-one deaths were reported by the police. The thermometer reached a maximum of 96.2 degrees, the highest poing xouched by the mercury this summer. Besides the deaths, at | there were half a hundredhtat cases taken to the hospitals. The thermomeiric record at Baliimore Was about the same as it-lsad been in the preceding four days. The maximum was not reached until 4:30 in ‘the afternoon, when 97.2 was recorded. ‘Thy mercury w: above the % point at 8 0’ ek in the morn- ing, and did not descend, pelow that mark until after 9 o'clock at night. Fifteen deaths and twiee as ma y prost 3 were reported up to midnight. | cenene In Chicago the heat, while,not so intense as Saturday, was almost uybearable. But ole fatality -was reported. John Suits, a laborer, was found dead in his room’ on Fulton street. ‘ The intense heat caysed more than -sey- enty deaths in New Yerk-ctty and its en- virons yesterday, and of. this-number about fifty occurred on the Island of Manhattan. ery hour brought the report of dozens of prestrations fr the heat, and but for the timely advent of a thunder shower last night the number of the victims of the hot weather in New York would have been unparalleled. As it was the record was nearly reached. The record for the high- est number of deaths from the heat in New York is fifty-nine, which was reached on July 29, 1893, e+ —___ DEATH OF DR. SAMSON. Formerly Local Educator Church Pastor. Rev. George W. Samson, D.D., for over ten years president of the Columbian Col- lege of this city, died at New York Sat- urday. He was ordained as pastor cf the E Street Baptist Church of this city im 1843. Dr. Samson was the first pastor of the E street Baptist Church, which he served sixteen years. In September, 185 » he became the president of the Columbian College of this city, from which office he retired in 1870. It was during his ad- ministration as executive officer of the Columbian University that the medical department and the law school «f that university was established. Since 1870 he has been a resident of New York city, serving as president of the Rutgers Fe- male College from 1871 to 188. As an educator Dr. Samson was distinguished. Resolutions expressing sorrow at the {tation which had removed their former pastor were introduced yesterday morn- ing at the session of the E Street Baptist Church Sunday school by H. C. Hazard. C. N. Richards seconded the resolution which were unanimously. adopted. Rev. J. J. Muir, the present pastor the church, is now in Europe. ee INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY and of SCHOOLS. The District Given a Representative in the Central Committee. It was announced in The Star some time ago that Mr. Pierson H. Bristow of this city, who is superintendent of Calvary Baptist Sunday school, was electe] a mem- ber of the international executive commit- tee at the Boston international Sunday schcol convention. The committee on or- ganization determined that ft was im- practicable to meet as frequently as is de- sirable, because of the great distance to be traveled by some of the members, and a central committee of eleven was agreed upon, including Mr. Bristow as one of the members. This centrat committee was to have met in Philadelpiiia* Wednesday of this week, but the meeting has been post- bored because of the heat! * The executive committee of the District of Columbia Sunday School Union, of wrich Mr. Bristow is also ‘president, met Saturday evening at the residence of Je- rome F. Johnson, 805 H street northwest, and transacted considerable business in the interest of the organization and of its approaching convention, which is to be held November 23 to 25.) 16 Reports of progress were heard from the following chairmen of ¢qgnvention com- mittees: Mr. Bristow, progr im committe Mejor C.

Virginia Democrats Don’t Know « Which Way to Jump. DON'T WANT BRYAN NOR M’KINLEY How the Congressional District Contests Are Going. MEREDITH’S OUTLOOK ee Spectzl Dispatch to The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., August 10.—The action of the sound money conference committee at Indianapolis, at which Mr. Joseph Bryan represented Virginia, has stirred the op- ponents of the Chicago platform in this city to even greater activity. While they do not all agree to the propo- sition to name a third ticket, they are anx- jous that some definite plan shall be form- ulated and some specific course mapped out which will hold together the great body of democrats known as bolters. The mejority of them are in earnest, however, and do not like the idea of giving half of their vote to Bryan and Sewall, and as the principles of the republican party are equally as repugnant to them, they are in a quandary as to which horn of the di- lemma to seize. None of the sound money men have any hope, of course, of electing a nominee on the gold standard platform, dnd just how far it would aid their cause in the future is the question. Some of them argue that it would create a breach in the democratic party that would never be healed, while others contend that it would be the means of preserving and holding intact the fun- demental principles of the party, to which the leaders of the new-fangled ideas must return sooner or later, Gold Men Active. In this city the sound money democrats exhibit greater activity and enthusiasm than the silverites. Petitioas, which have been widely circulated throughout the city, for the purpose of organizing a sound mon- ey league and declaring against the Chica- go platform in no uncertain terms, have been numerously signed, and will result in creating ore of the most powerful political organizations ever seen in this state. The signers of these petitions are nearly all democrats—men who have been in the past the bone and sinew of the party—to whom the political leaders have alwaye looked for financial aid in each recurring campaign. One significant fact in connection with these petitions is that the signers are not oniy capitalists, professional men, well-to- do merchants and manufacturers, but a re- markably large number of them are labor- ers and mechanics. Last Saturday night a sound money club of 105 members was organized in this city, composed exclusively of mechanics and other laborers in the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad shops here. Great enthusiasm prevailed at the meet- ing, the members declaring that the roll weuld be doubled in a weck. This is to be followed by similar organizations com- posed of workmen in the Richmond loco- motive and machine works, the Southern railway shops and in other manufacturing plants of the city. The Bryan and Sewall clubs, on the other hand, that were organized in Richmond with such a flourish soon after the Chicago convention are languishing. As an instance of this, while the principal Bryan and Sewall club was in session a few days ago a small fim: broke out in another part of the city, when the fifty or seventy-five mem- ent made a bolt for the ction, and never returned to adjourn att in gocd order. Indifferent to Bryan. Again, on last Saturday night, the Clay Ward Actives, ore of the largest demo- cratic clubs in the city, consisting original- ly of about 300 members, was called to- wether to ratify the action of the Chicago convention, Only about sixty members attended, and when a rising vote was taken on a reso- lution to indorse the platform at least nine of those present remained in their seats. There ts no doubt of the fact that with the exception of a few fanatics the demo- crats in this city do not find the Bryan and Sewall dose at all palatable. They are trying to take their medicine, however, and look pleasant, but their corrugated phy- siognomy is apparent to all. The next democratic congressional con- vention to be held in this state will be that of the eighth district, in Alexandria, next Wednesday, which promises to be one of the most exciting and hotly contested yet held in Virginia. A Big Place-Getter. Mr. E. E. Meredith, the incumbent, has served his constituency ably and faithfully, and will no doubt go to the convention with a strong following. Mr. Meredith has been especially successful in securing fed- eral appointments for his constituents, having at this time over ten times as many as his district Is entitled to under the pro rata distribution for the state. Mr. Meredith's principal opponent will be Mr. Rixey of Culpeper, who, pressing the issue of topcgraphical representation and besides possessing a strong personal in- fluence, has developed great strength for the nomination, and it is predicted by the party leaders here that he will win the fight. There are other candidates of minor strength who may have an important bearing on the result in the event of a deadlock. Pat McCaull Again. Whoever is nominated at this conven- tion will very likely have for his oppo- nent Pat McCaull, who was defeated two years ago by Mr. Meredith. Mr. McCaull is an able stumper of strong personal mag- netism, and has a good record. He will no* doubt make the best possible fight for the republican party, and his success in No- vember is decidedly within the range of probability. The democratic situation in the seventh district, represented in the last Congress by Mr. S. 8. Turner, will resuit in a free gift of the nomination to State Senator James Hay of Madison. Mr. Turner's patriotic action in declaring soon after Congress ad- journed to again stand for the nomination, taking the high ground that he could not go with his party in its free silver venture, is still fresh in the minds of readers of The Star. Mr. Hay, who has served his district and county long and faithfully in both branches of the general assembly, was a conspicuous advocate of United States Sen- ator Thomas S. Martin in his now mem- orable contest with General Fitzhugh Lee. The fact that Mr. Hay has practically no opposition for the nomination, in spite of the fact that Mr. Turner withdrew so long ago, is the best possible evidence of the potent influence still existing of the junior Senator from Virginia. This recalls the fact that State Senator H. D. Flood, who defeated Harry Tucker for the nomination in the tenth district, is an- other protege of this silent but powerful factor in Virginia politics. Martin’s Quick ‘Change. Mr. Martin's somersault at the Staunton convention, when he came upon the plat- form as the sound money leader in Vir- ginia and left it after a ten minutes’ speech a full-fledged free silverite, has certainly impaired his influence to some degree, how much it will not take long to measure. His speech on that occasion, especially that part of it attacking the President of the United States, was pronounced by even the free silverites who were present to be one of the most indiscreet utterances that ever fell from the lips of a public official. When Harry Tucker rose to the occasion, on the heels of Martin, and made his gal- lant defense of President Cleveland and the administration, he was applauded to the echo, not only by the sound money dele- gates, but by the qjlverites as well, but Martin perhaps knew then that Amherst Court House would be their Phillippi. Notwithstanding the fact that Martin's protege, Flood, has wrested the nomination from the brilliant son of John Randolph ‘Tucker, there are many democrats in Vir- ginia who look upon Tucker as victorious in defeat, for his action at Staunton and his course at Amherst are more admired by true Virginians than will be the victory of Flood in November, should that -gentle- man be so fortunate as to defeat Mr. Jacob Yost for the prize. 38.1 ‘age COMMISSIONERS OF DEEDS. -Page COUNTRY BOARD. -Page DEATHS ...... -Page DENTISTR -Page EDUCATI -Page EXCURSIONS. -Page i FINANCIAL -Page FOR EXCHANGE. -Page FOREIGN POSTAL SERVICE. -Page FOR RENT (ims.

ROCKVILLE, Md., August 9, 1896. Preparations for the forty-third annual exhibition of the Montgomery County Agri- cultural Soctety, which will be given at the fair grounds here on the first four days of September, are progressing in a most satis- factory manner, and the indications are that the affair will be the most attractive and successful in the history of the society. The premium list is larger than ever before, and the awards more substantial, and this feature has created a wider interest among farmers, cattlemen and others, who will compete for distinctive honors. The races are filling rapidly, and there are now about thirty-five horses at the stables getting down to condition, and being famil- jarized with the going and the turns. The track itself has been greatly improved, and there have been general improvements throughout the grounds that will greatly add to the convenience of exhibitors and the comfort of the public. The grand stand has been enlarged, and all the inner braces removed and the roof of the structure raised and supported on the cantilever principle. The fifty stables that were de- stroyed by fire several months ago have been replaced by more commodious struc- tures, modernly improved, and new cattle pens have been built in a better location than the old ones occupied. A new poultry building has been erected, ané this display promises to be one of the most striking features of the exhibition. An additional force of judges and secretaries will be en- gaged this year to meet the increased num- ber of exhibits. The demand for privil- eges for amusements, entertainments and attractions usual at county fairs is greater than ever before in the history of the soci- eiy. Bicyelists residing in Montgomery, as well as those of the District of Columbia, will be given opportunities to try for valu- able prizes on the first day, Tuesday, and this new feature at Rockville will undoubt- edly attrict a big crowd. The horse races will include events in the 2:20, 2:25, 2:27, 2:45 and 2:50 classes for trotters; class for pacers; for untried roadsters owned in the county, owners to rive; for trotters four years old and under owned in the county; an open event for trotters of all ages owned in the county. For the runners there will be a race for horsea foaled and owned in the county; an open event of six furlongs and repeat, and hurdle races, six furlongs and repeat, and two furlongs and repeat, and a mile dash hurdle. The purses range in value from $400 for the 2:20 trotting class to $75 for the hurdle race of two laps and repeat. The trots and paces will be the best three in five heats, and close contests are looked for because all the good horses in this section of the country will be here. The reason for this is that there are no counter attractions in the shape of similar affairs anywhere in the vicinity, and the owners of most of the stables, to be at the Leesburg, Va., fair August 25-27, have expressed their intention of coming to Rockville. eS Ss A FATAL ACCIDENT. Benjamin Brown Tried to Board a Moving Tra! ‘There was a fatal accident on the Metro- politan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad near Germantown yesterday morn- ing, the victim being Benjamin Brown, a colored farm hand. He had attempted to board a moving train, and, losing his foot- ing, he fell beneath the train and was ter- ribly mangled, Five ribs were broken, an arm crushed and internal injuries were re- ceived. When the train was stopped the injured man was taken aboard and brought here to the Freedman’s Hospital. He died soon after the hospital was reached. Ge Se Two Sudden Deaths.
