Correspondence of The Ev-ning Star. WASHINGTON GROVE CAMP MEETING, ~ August 10, 1596. An almost Sabbath st!liness has pre- vailed in the camp today, and it would al- most seem as if there had been some !nss of reckoning or mixing up of the calendar. Physical refreshment came with a de- Hightful though tiry cool wave that stray- ed out from the northland a1d tempered the fervid heat and blew the dust away. The family prayer meeting, led by Wm. H. Houghton, was of great spiritual profit to the few that found their way out at so early an hour. A deeply devotional testi- mony meeting followed the breakfast hour, which was made an Inspirat:on by the wise leading of Rev. J. K. Snyder. Promplly at 11 a.m. Rev. Y. J. Cross of Laytonsville, Md., gave the people an up- !ft ina helpful sermon, from the text, Rev. ‘Behold, I stand at the door and Cc. O. Isaacs of Baltimore came to camp by a morning train and treated the afternoon congregation to a rare feast of good spiritual food, choosing for his text the words, “Sanctify them through Thy truth that they may be one and that they may know that Thou hast sent me.” Rev. Wm. R. Strickler draws the young folks out to the twilight service in large numbers. This evening he was assisted by Mr. Wm. Paimer, who played the organ and led the song service. He spoke forcibly upon an tmportant clause of the apos:le’s creed, “I believe In the Holy Ghost,” and called for a recital of this, which was heartily given. Rev. Chas. Pate, who had bean called from the Grove to Virginia to attead a funeral, returned by an early evening train, occupied the pulpit gt the evening service and made a prayerful and toucining aypeal to the unsaved, to which three penit responde He appiied to our lives the Alpha and Omega of the gospel in a finish- rmon. Rev. Robert Moore is listed for Tuesday morning, and at 3 p.m. the people will gather to hear Evangelist Snyder of Balti- more, in whom all are deeply interested. The sick are all improving, and Mr. Rob- erts, who was prostrated on Sunday by the extreme heat, was able to return to Wash- ington today. Mr. Lee Trail is still confined to his bed, but his physician promises to Hberate him tomorrow should be not undergo relapse. Mrs. Francis Kilgour and daughter ar- rived today and are occupying their cot- tege at the junction of Broadway and 2d Mrs. Clara Woolard is the guest of her Parents at the Cohen cottage, on Grove ave- rue. The Misses Merriam of the Boulevard are entertaining their cousin, Miss Nellye Dadds of Annapolis, Md. Mr. George Garbrell and family of Wash- ington returned home today after spending the Sabbath with relatives here. Mr. Allie Wilson and family were the recent guests of Prof. Henry Wilson, on the circle. Mrs. Fred Gee has as her guests Miss Knight and Miss Clara Knight of Washing- ton. Miss Ella Kright, with her rich con- tralto voice, is a valued acquisition to the already strong musical force of the Grove and gives much pleasure in her finished solo work at the evening tabernacle services. Mrs. Wm. Andrews of Rockville spent a portion of the day visiting friends in camp. ‘The guests at Hotel Albany are regret- ting the loss of Miss Juliet White, a bright, intelligent factor in the social life of the house, who left for her West Washington lome today, after a week's sojourn with us.

Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm B.Gordon of Wash- ington arrived on Saturday and are being entertained at Hotel Albany, though lodg- ing in the wing of their Grove avenue cot- tage. Much sorrow is felt here, particularly in the Ryland colony, because of the intel- ligence received of the sudden death in Washington of Mr. John B.

Miss Clara Barton, president of the Red Cross Socjety of America, has started on her return from Armenia, where she went to distribute relief. SAVAGES have healthy children.

LABOR NOTES -—— VARIOUS The regular weekly meeting of the Cen- tral Labor Union held last evening at Ty- pographical Temple was largely attended. President Milford Spohn occupied the chair and in the absence of Secretary Torrens Mr, Joseph P. McCrink was appointed sec- retary pro tem. Chairman Wiliam Silver of the committee appointed t> negotiate with the board of directors of the Metro- politan Railway Company submitted cor- respondence with Mr. Robert D. Weaver, @ member of the board, which was placed on file and the committee was discharged from the further consideration of the sub- ject. The first communication was a let- ter from Mr. Silver to Mr. Weaver, under date of August 2. and was as follows: “The committee, of which I am a member, is in possession of the circumstances leading up to the difficulty existing between the Met- ropolitan Railroad Company and its em- ployes, and would like if possible to have an Interview with the directors of the road previous to taking any definite action. The committee wou'd then be in a position to act intelligently by having the facts as presented by both sides.” To this no reply was received by Mr. Silver. Under date of August 7, Mr. Siiver wrote to Mr. Weaver as follows: “Pardon me for again address- ing you In reiation to arranging for a meeting between the directors of the Met- ropolitan Street Railway Compan) and a committee of the Central Labor Union of this city, as it is necessary that the com- mittee make some final report or have some prospects of the desired meeting, whereby the necessary information can be obtained previous to any final action be- ing taken. Please let me know previous to Monday evening next whether such meet- ing can be arranged or not.” Mr. Weaver's Reply. ‘To this Mr. Weaver replied on the same date as follows: “Your esteemed favor of August 2 Is at hand, and-in reply beg leave to submit to your committee the inclosed official statement of the directors of this company. I do not see how words can make the position of this company more explicit than what the directors have al- ready stated, namely: “That the company wishes it to be dis- tinctly understood that no man has been discharged for the reason that he was known, or supposed to be, a member of the order of the Knights of Labor, and the as- sertion that the recent action of the com- pany was based upon any question of membership in any association wha‘ever 18 in every respect wholly unwarranted, false and mischievous. “The assertion of the dismissed employ: that they were discharged because they were Knights of Labor is designed to en- list the sympathies of their fellow work- men, in the hope that they will be able to force this company to reinstate them. Any statement, therefore, made by these em- ployes proceeds, necessarily, from deeply interested parties, wherees the directors of this company had no interest whatever in discharging them except the proper man- agement of the company’s business. I do not see, personally, how the directors can make themselves more definitely under- stood. If their written statement, prepared after due deliberation, is not to be be- Heved, of facts exclusively within their own knowledge, but the statements of the discharged employes, which, from the na- ture of the case, {s mere assertion, ia to be preferred, then I do not see how an oral confession would have any great weight. An to the Roycott. “I beg to say in this connection that a boycott is @ remedy which in my judgment ought not to be established except in the most extreme cases, and where the facts of the case are absolutely without ques- tion; otherwise great injury is done all parties, workingmen included. Where it fs voted, except upon the plainest evidence, it generally fails of its effect, like all other hasty and inconsiderate actions. From mere sympathy, misguided by false and interested statements, this company has been boycotted by a number of axso- ciations which have ignored entirely the solemn assertion of the directors of this company, and ft ts only the Central Labor Union, which is represented by yourself and associates, that has had the fairaess and the justice to conceive that there are two sides to this question. Like all other unjust and hasty actions, I am happy to say that the prosperity of the company has not been affected nor its receipts diminish- ed, showing that there is an overruling providence which brings to naught all of our acts when inspired by revenge. “I thank you again for the considerate conduct cf the Central Labor Union, and trust that you will take the action of the directors in still retaining in their employ Knights of Labor, both officers and mem- bers, as the best refutation that these men were not discriminated against because of the!r connection with that body. I repeat again, nv man has been, or will be, dis- charged except for dereliction of dut; S Mr. George A. Malone, chairman of the committee appointed to communicate with the officers of the Columbia and Maryland Electric Rallway Company and ask that union mea be employed on that improve- ment, read the following letter, which he received from Mr. D. M. Newbold, president of that corporation: “The work of building the electric road between Baltimore and ishington is belng done by a construc- tton company. I have no interest beyond a moneyed investment in the enterprise. I shall see the contractors, however, and give them your letter. As this road when finished will have a tendency to largely reduce fares between the two cities, all interests conducive to its success should be considered.” The Beer Brewers. Under the call of unions, the delegate from the Beer Brewers’ Union read the fol- lowing letter, which he had recelyed from E. Kurzenknake, national secretary of the National Brewery Workers’ Union at St. Louts, in reference to the claims of Gam- brinus Assembly of this city: “It is under- stood that our national executive board will sustain the steps taken by the brewery workers of Washington in regard to aftilia- tion with the Central Labor Union of the American Federation of Labor, as we ad- vised you to do months ago. We hope that the separation from the Knights of Labor won't do you much harm, as we under- stand these people are mostly temperance anyway, and, besides that, at the verge of bankruptcy. I will place your resolution beforethe national executive board tomor- row, and hope that you will keep me in- formed in the future how you are getting along. The follofing resolution was by a unan- imous vote referred to the legislative com- mittee, who will call on the District Com- missioners and urge that the request be granted: “Resolved, That the Commissioners of the District are hereby requested to begin work at once on the Langdon school bulld- ing, the appropriation therefor having been made at the last session of Congress.” A special committee, composed of Dele- gates Bugdon, Phillips, Crawly and Rogers, was appointed to call on Contractor Sax- ton and ask him to employ union pavers. The special committee appointed to call on Manager Kernan and ask him to give his work to union men reported that Mr, Kernan sald that for the future he would adopt that course. The contract committee was instructed to call-on Mr. James L. Kernan, proprietor of the theaters here of which his brother is manager, and ask him to sign @ contract to this effeot. Credentials were received from Stereo- typers’ Union, No. 19, and the Columbia Musicians’ Protective Union, and the dele- gates were admitted and obligated. THE DEAD MAN IDENTIFIED pe ee ‘Was That of A. B. Pile of San, Francisco, Floating Body Polfee Mystifed” Over Cireamstances of the Case—Search- ing for Shoes and Hat. the Peculiar The body of the man found in the river near Tenney’s mili¥, in Georgetown, yes- terday, stated in last evening's Star, Proved to be that Of A. H. Pile, account- ant of the national committee of the silver perty. He had not been seen by his friends since Tuesday night, when he at- tended a silver demonstration tn Virginia fear Fails Church. That night he re- turned to the city with a number of friends, who left him at Pennsylvanta avenue and 7th street, supposing he would go to his rocm at the corner of 13th and G streets. They aid not sce him again, so that just when or under what circumstances he got in_the river they do not know. James D. Finch and J. M. Devine, both of whom are connected with the silver committee, and who were warm personal friends of Pile, called at the morgue and fully identified the body. The cause of the man’s death is a mys- tery which the police will make an effort to solve. It is stated that he had been drinki.g when he was last seen Tuesday night about 11 o'clock, but when or how he got up the river none of his compan- ions know. . An examination of the body by Morgue Keeper Schoenberger failed to reveal any marks of violence or anything which would in any manner indicAte that he nad been foully dealt with. He was fond of games ef chance, and {t is thought by some of his friends that he had probably visited some of the lawless gambling dens across the river and had then been robbed and thrown in the river. But the condition of his pockets failed to indicate that they hud been rifled. His watch, a common silver timeplece, had not been taken nor had his note book or papers been disturb- ed. It Is true that he was in his stocking feet, but the police hardly think his old shoes would have been taken and other erticles left untouched. Denth Believed to Have dental. White no evidence of foul play has been found the police have found nothing to in- dicate that the dead man ccmmitted sut- clde. They are generally inclined to the belief that his death was accidental. It may be that because of the excessive heat he went over to the river front and re- moved his shoes ard hat in order to get cool, ani accidentally fell overboard. A search along the river bank for his shoes and hat has been instituted, and if they are found they will go a long way toward solving the mystery. When the body had been identified De- tective Rhodes went to the room Pile had occupied and took charge of his effects, which were turned over to headquarters. Among his effects was an ordinary tin cash box upon which was pasted a plece of paper bearing these words: “Forward unopened to William Q. Judge, 144 Madison avenue, New York city. A. I. Pile, San Franctsco, April 4, 1895. There was no intimation of the contents of the box given, but it is thought it may contain some valuable papers for use in the campaign, or it may contain some private papers. The deceased was a son of ex-Congress- man Pile of San Francisco, and had been here about two weeks working with the silver committee. Friends and relatives of the dead man have been notiffed of his death and the body will be held pending their arrival. In the ieantime the police are continuing the investigation, and the Been Acci- coroner will probably take some action tomorrow. —_— > THE NAVAL WAR COLLEGE, Secretary Herbert Delivers an Ad- dress at the Opening. Hilary A. Herbert, Secretary of the Navy, delivered an address at the opening of the Naval War College at Newport, R. 1, yesterday. Secretary Herbert said in part: “The opinion was once widely entertained that this colleg2 was intcnded for a post-grad- uate course, and that this being so, it should be located, if allowed to exist at all, at the Naval Academy. I was of this opinion myself until three years ago on a Personal visit I inspected its workings and examined fully into its plans and purposes. Then I discovered what the public is be- ginning to understand, and what the navy itself is now coming fully to appreciate— that it fs in no sense @ post-graduate course that 1s being pursued within these wails; that not only are the theory and art of war being thoroughly studied and de- veloped here, but knowledge 1s being ac- quired, and the practical information is be- ing amassed without which the Navy De- partment cannot possibly in the event of war utilize the naval resources of our country. Ships and guns and torpedoes and men are all of little use unless officers know how to fight them; individual ships, however bravely and skillfully they may be handled and fought, can accomplish but Mttle if officers do not know when, where and how to dispose them, while at the same time skill In handling, courage in fighting and knowledge of the proper dis- position of ships tn battle will often ail be of little avail without continued and prompt supplies of everything needed in the exigencies of war, all of which must be reckoned for beforehand. “Successful wat means all of these things, and more besides. It means, if the exigency requires, the exertion by a nation of its utmost power, the utilization of all its resources, the tapping of every source of supply, the employment of every manu- factory, every ship and every man that can be useful, and all this with the utmost premptitude ‘and dispatch. Further than this, plans of attack and defense must be devised, and these cannot be successfully made without the most accurate knowledge of harbors, inlets, safe and unsafe pas- sages, tides and everything else pertaining to the people’s theaters of impending war. A study of these and of still other prob- lems constitutes the work, of which I am glad to say, from a careful personal in- spection of the results, you have been suc- cessfully performing during the years Just passed. I congratulate you, gentlemen, and you particularly, Mr. President, upon the results you have achieved. “For myself, I shall rejoice if, when I shall lay down the office I now hold, it can be sald I contributed in such a manner as I could to the successful workings of this institution.” — +080.

M. Fields, HOT TIMES IN COURT|DON'T STOP TOBACCO District Officials Will Not Allow Electric Fans. 80 THE POLICE TRIBUNAL SWELTERS ‘The Usual Round of Suffering and Misdoing. aa ee es IS TERROR OF PRATHER’S ALLEY Soe “Benjamin Butler,” called Clerk Harper in the Police Court this morning, when Judge Scott tock his seat on the bench and announced his readiness to proceed with the court business. “What?” said Lawyer Martin, who was somewhat startled at hearing the name of the dead Massachusetts man. “I thought he was dead.” “But this is Ben,” said the clerk. Ben, who proved to be a colored boy, made his way through the small crowd of sweltering humanity and took his position at the rail. In the cells the temperature had been excessively high and the court room was in an almost unbearable condi- tion. It had been expected that electric fans would be in position in court this morning to give temporary relief from the hot weather, but the District officials had con- cluded that they could not allow the fans from the court appropriation, and they thought the money could not be spared from the contingent fund. There are elec- tric fans in parts of the District butiding where there are usually ccol breezes, but under the decision of the officials the judges of the courts, as well as the pris- oners and others, will have to do without the fans and take the chances of being overcome by the heat. “I found Ben in a game of crap in Shott’s alley,” was the complaint of Policeman Archambault. ‘The game took place on the 28th of June, and I didn't serve the warrant, as I wanted to give him time to get his fine.” “What do you know about the boy?” asked the court. “He's a hard-working boy,” the officer responded, “and I understand he’s the only support of his mother. In consideration of these facts I hope your honor will take his personal bonds.” “The officer recommends that your per- sonal bonds be taken,” the judge said to Ben, “‘what have you to say for yourself?” ‘I wasn’t shooting crap,” the boy an- swered. “I was sitting on my steps look- ing at the game when the policeman came along.” “What about this, Mr. Officer?” “I saw him in the game. “Are you able to pay a small fine?” “Yes, sir.” “Then you will have to pay a fine of $2." “Here's the money.” said the boy, hand- ing over two silver certificates, and he was released. Helped to Their Home. Harriet Fisk and Oscar Fisk, her son, were charged with vagrancy because they had been found in Brookland by Policeman Barbee asking for assistance. She said she had been a school teacher, but there was nothing about her appearance to verify her claim. “I think she had collected about fifty-five cents,” said the policeman. “She says she 1s on her way to Mount Vernon, Ohio, and she collects money enough at one station to send her to the next one.” “Do you know anything more about her?” “No, sir.” Mrs. Fisk was then given an opportunity to make a statement, and she was willing to relate her ~ntire family history. “I'm on my way home to Mount Vernon, Ohio,” she said. “My father was killed in the war, and my husband, who was a rrinter, died in St. Louis. As a rule, print- ers will help the widows of their fellow craftsman. Then, too, my father-in-law was a Mason, and I thought it was no harm to ask for-assistanc She said she had formerly lived in Zanes- ville, Ohio, where her son Charles now ves. During the investigation of the case Dr. L. M. Taylor, whose attention had been at- tracted to the case by an account in a morning paper, called on the judge and said he would like to assist her. “Is this a genuine case?” asked. “It's a pitiable one,” the court answered. ‘The doctor said he would pay the w man's way to her home, and turned over to Sanitary Officer Frank the amount nec- essary to pay her fare home. A Mercifal Court. “I'm so sick,” groaned a colored woman named Delia Howard, who had been sick in a police cell all night. “Please send me to the hospital.” ‘The woman, who was in a delicate condi- tion, was actually sick and her illness had Leen increased by the use of intoxicants. “Oh, I'm guilty,” she answered, when ar- raigned on a charge of disorderly conduct. “You are fined $5.” Policeman Hoagland, who had made the arrest, was called in and he said that Delia was under the influence of Mquor and he heard her swearing in a lunch room on ith street. “Are you certain she used the language?” the court asked. “Yes, sir, and she caused trouble all the way to the station.” “Mr. Clerk,” said the court, “I'l reduce this fine to §2 and I want her sent to the hospital.” Lawyer Jones, whose sympathy had been aroused, said he thought because of the condition of the woman she should be sent to the hospital and he was willing to pay her fine The court, however, had concluded to re- lease the woman on her personal bonds, so that there was no fine to pay. Midsummer Vagrants. Two colored strangers in the city whose names were given as William Smallers and Mark Hazard were in the procession as vagrants because they had been found near the Long bridge. “This place seems to be the headquarters for these people,” sald Policeman Herbert, “and I found these men there last night. Hazard has been wearing different hats and because of this suspicious act I arrest- ed him.” “I only wore the straw hat,” was the prisoner's statement. ‘Some months ago I came from Alexandria parish, Louisiana, and found work in Virginia. My pay was so small that I came here and tried to get the Christian Endeavor committee to get me a situation.” Smallers said he was also on the road seeking employment. “Four months,” said the court. Worked an Old Game. A young cclored man whose name was given as James Lewis was able to shed crocodile tears yestcrday, and now he will lose beads of prespiration on the farm. “My child is dead and I ain’t got ary money,” was his plea when he appeared at the houses of citizens and related his tale of woe. What he wanted was money to defray the expense of burying the child. “I did have a dead child once,” sald the prisoner, “but it was some time ago.” “And is the child buried?” “Oh, yes; the poor little thing died sev- eral months ago.” He exgipined that he had fot yet settled the undertaker’s bill, and the court told him he would have to work for his money the same as other reople. “You will have to give bond in the sum of $0," the judge said, “or go down for thirty days.” Hensy Robertson sdmitted that he had disturbed the quict of Brown’s court, and went down in default of fine. “Terror of Prather’s Alley.” One of the colored females in the toils was Maria Colbert, who was characterized as the “Terror of Prather’s alley.” “Bhe ia continually under the influence of Nquor,” said the policeman, “and when she goes home in this condition she cleans out the house.” Deed I don’t, judge,” said the woman. “When I went home last night my mother commenced to beat me.” “But don’t you get drunk frequently?” “No, indeed; but I kes my beer.” “Well, you won't get any beer for a the doctor Seddenly: to do so Is injurious to the nervous sys- tem.
