HE WAS NOT THE FRIEND OF LABOR Populists to Notify Mr. Bryan of His Nomination by Them. TO EMBARRASS ——_-—_—_ EFFORTS Spe al Dispatch to The Evening Star. LEWISTON, Me., August 25.—L. C. Bate- man of Auburn, the populist candidate for governor of Maine, does not cease for a moment his bitter antagonism against Arthur Sewall, the democratic nominee for Vice President. Mr. Bateman claims that it was through his personal efforts that Sewall was turned down at the populist convention at St. Louis, and that he 1s con- stantly In close touch with populist lead- ers to further hinder the success of Mr. Sewall politically. It is believed that Mr. Bateman and some other populist leaders throughout the coun- try are not at heart favorable to Bryan. It will be remembered fhat when the com- mittee was chosen at the St. Louis con- vention to notify Mr. Bryan of his nomi- nation by that body. Senator Alten of Ne- braska was understood to be chairman and Mr. Bateman secretary of the commit- tee. It has been the plan of Senator Allen and others to give Mr. Bryan no official notification of his nomination, lest it em- barrass him. Must Be Notified. But Mr. Bateman and éther populist lead- ers aver that the real chairman was a Min- nesota man, instead of Senator Allen, and they insist that Mr. Bryan shall be offi- clally notified that he is the presidential nominee of the populist party. With this end in view, a notification has been drawn up and signed by the Minnesota gentle- man, as chairman, and Mr. Bateman as secretary, and steps are being taken to se- cure the signatures of the majority of the committee to this paper. It is expected that when this notification is made public it will make a sensation. Among the delegates at the St. Louis con- vention who prominently opposed the nomi- nation of Arthur Sewail was Judge James S. Woods of Texas. Mr. Woods is doing all he can to secure the electoral vote of Texas for Watson. On the 9th of September a great political ratification meeting is to be held in Texas, and on that occasion Judge Woods intends to show that Mr. Sewall is not a proper man for the populists to sup- port. With this end in view, he has writ- ten Mr. Bateman, asking him to send the THE OFFICI EXPLANAIORY NOTE: == AL WEATHER MAP, 80 © Partly Couty, tksonville O Crouay.

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS A Sad Case of Destitution Discovered Last Evening. political record and plutocratic history of | Peculiar Statute to Punish a Shift- Mr. Sewall. In reply Mr: Bateman has sent the following communication, which will be read at this great ratification meet- ing before referred to in this letter: Bateman on Sewall. AUBURN, Me., August 20, 1806. My Dear Mr. Woods: Your letter of tne 15th instant to hand. Permit me to ex- press to you my warmest thanks for the kirdly words and sentiments spoken. I am constrained to say, however, that what- ever bravery was exhibited by the Maine men in the St. Louis convention dwindles into insignificance when compared with the hercism displayed by the immortal “103” from Texas. You won, and justly won, the admiration of the country and the world by the heroic constancy with bi you defended our principles and our faith. You ask me for the record and pluto- cratic history of Arthur Sewall. First, permit me to say that I have no personal feelings against the gentleman in ques- tion. This is a battle of principles, and men @ho are working for a great reform have a right to know if their leaders are in accord with those principles. Mr. Sew- all is now president of the First National Bank of Bath, and I am informed 1s a stockholder and director in others. I sub- mit to your good judgment that a bank president is not the man to lead a crusade against banks. For several years he was precident of the Maine Central railroad. Cutting Down Wages. One of the last acts of his administra- tion before resigning two or three years ago was to cut down the wages of the em- ployes of that system 10 per cent. At the same time the road was paying 12 per cent Interest on millions of dollars of watered stock. I will further submit to your good judgment that the man who caused this urjust deed to be done is not the man to lead a movement of workingmen against capital and corporations. Mr. Sewall is a heavy ship owner, and I am creditably informed that his ships all over the world are under a boycott of the Nationa! Sail- ors’ Union on account of the low wages and unfair treatment accorded the men who man his vessels. Mr. Sewall is hy birth, by Instinct and by education a plu- tocrat in every sense of the word. He has frequently been heard to say that a dollar a day is enough for any working- man to receive. He ts universally despised on account of his cold, avaricious and un- feeling nature. Sewall’s Unpopularity.. No man in Maine Is more unpopular than he. He will be defeated two to one in his own ward, his own city, his own county and his own state. Such a nomination for such a movement is the most out- rageous, inconsistent and wretchedly il- logical that the entire history of American politics can disclose. Say to your brave men that the Maine populists repudiate him to a@ man. We admire Bryan and will gladly support him !f it can be done in company with Tom Watson. If it can- not be done except in company with Sewall then we repudiate the entire ticket with scorn. We have been teaching the prin- ciples of this reform for twenty years, ani we don’t propose to stultify ourselves at this late day. Those principles still fly at our mast head. If the people’s party is to go down into the dark valley of the shadow of death then let it be with its honor un- sullied and its flag unstained. In closing, let me urge you to stand firm, brave men of Texas! You are the guiding star of humanity. When you fail us then, indeed, will the sacred cause of reform be hopeless. Then liberty will again perish aa reedom shrieked when Koslusco fell.” Kindly yours, L. C. BATEMAN. To James 8. Woods, Kaufman, Texas. —— Hotel Arriva) Raleigh—C. Howell, Atlanta, Ga.; H. D.

Officer Wilkerson last night reported to Lieut. Smith the fact that Mrs. Charles Edelin and her two,small children were in house on Oronoco street sick and in a destitute state. Officer Atkinson was sent to investigate the case and found a pit- fable condition of affairs. Mrs. Edelin was lying on the floor in a room without any light, with her children—one four years old and the other only twenty months old— crying piteously. Dr. Ashby was sent for and he ordered Mrs. Edelin and the older child, who wes ill also, removed to the in- firmary. A carriage was summoned, and Officer Atkinson had to take off his coat to lay under the woman’s head. Neigh- bors took charge of the baby. Mrs. Edelin is a sister of Ed. Winter, the Washington cornetist, and has always borne an excel- lent reputation. Her husband {s a worth- less character, and was recently sent to jail for refusing to support his family. Under sections 484 and #85 of the code of Virginia, pages 206, 207 and 20%, amended in 1895 and 1896, Edelin can be arrested by the city and his labor hired to the highest bidder, the proceeds to be devoted to the support of his family. This sentence can- not exceed three months, bu@ for each de- sertion one month can be added to his term and for refusal to, work he can be placed in jail and fed on a diet of bread and water. Sound Money Democrats. A meeting of the sound money democrats was held at the Exchange Hotel last night to select delegates to the Richmond con- vention, which has been called to elect delegates to the sound money convention at Indianapolis. About twenty-five people collected in the dining room of the hotel, and about 8:30 o'clock Mr. Thos. L. Cock- rell of the Alexandria Times called the meeting to order and stated its object. He nominated Mr. Harry’ Burke as chairman and Mr. Clarence Leadbeater was chosen secretary. The following delegates to the Richmond convention were then elected: Thomas L. Cockrell, James F. Muir, Thos. L. Waters, Robert Elliott, George B. Cochran, Dr. Hamilton P. Howard, Samuel G. Brent, W H. F. Fink, James McCuen and A. H. Smoot. Dr. Howard advocated the forma- tion of a sound money club, and said he hoped those present would display the same zeal in behalf of their cause as the free silver people showed. Dr. R. M. Slaughter offered a resolution instructing the delegation to urge upon the Richmond convention the importance of a third ticket, and to insist upon such a ticket being placed in the field at the In- dianapolis convention, there being many democrats who will not vote for either Bryan or McKinley, and many who cannot without sacrificing life-long principles. After several speakers had defined their position on the money question the resolu- tion was adopted. The meeting then adjourned, to reas- semble after the Indianapolis convention, when a permanent organization will be effected. Mr. G. Hatley Norton Dead. Capt. R® F. Krox received a telegram from Judge J. K. M. Norton this morning announcing the death of his brother, Mr. G. Hatley Norton, at Oli Sweet Springs, at an early hour today. Mr. Norton was a son of the late Rev. Dr. Geo. H. Norton, rector of St. Paul's Church, Alexandria. He was about twenty-seven years of age and one of the most promising young law- yers at the bar. He was also receiver of the Fidelity Building Association. Mr. Norton left this city several weeks ago for his summer outing, going to Harrisonburg, in the Shenandoah valley, and then driving across the county to Capon a os being il on arriving there, though he had left here in apparently good health. His ill- ness developed into typhoid fever, and Judge Norton was summoned from White Sulphur Springs to his bedside. About a week ago Dr. Smith was telegraphed for and has been with him ever since. Re- ports of his condition have been very en- oouraging for several days past, ard the news of his death was a great shock to his many friends here. The body will ar- rive tomorrow merning, accompanied by Judge Norton and three of the sisters of the deceased, who have also been in at- tendance at his bedside. Says She Was Assaulted. A colored woman applied to Chief of Po- lice Webster this morning for a warrant to errests@ colored man, whom she charged with having knocked her down and crimi- nally assaulted her some months ago, since which time he has repeatedly promised to marry her, provided she said nothing about the assault. The man has failed to keep his promise, and now she seeks redress. She stated that the assault occurred near Fort Foote,where the man lives, and where jhe was living at the time. She was in- formed that she would have to have the man arrested and prosecute in Maryland. Notes. Mr. Wm. Bryant has returned from Ca- pon Springs. = Mrs. R. G.

He Says the Monumental City Has Not Imposed on the Charity of the District. Taree Mayoralty Clerk Palnter'ef Baltimore is still talking about the sending of paupers between here and the nfonnthental city. On behalf of the city of Baltimore he makes a wholesale denial that {ts paupers, transient or otherwise, are loaded an this city. Con- cerning the statement in the report of Sanitary Officer Frank,’ to the effect that Maryland and Virginia continue to con- tribute their yearly number of sick and destitute persons to the hospitals here, Clerk Palmer says it is’ not true so far as Baltimore city is concérned, In a Balti- more morning paper he is reported to have said: : “What the counties of the state may haye done was another matter. In fact, Baltimore has the same complaint to make seanse many of the counties of Maryland, that often send their sic the hospitals or in Bayview. Since January 1, fifty-two persons were sent to Washing- ton through the mayor's office. ‘This num- ber included runaway boys and girls and others who, by request of the police, were furnished with free transportation; persons who asked to be sent to that city and upon investigation were found to be worthy, and @ number of soldiers in the service, or yet- erans, who were sent to Washington b cause of the location there of the na yard and the Soldiers’ Home.” man janitary Officer Frank declined to say anything about the matter when seen by a Star reporter today. The whole subject is in his annual report, 7 was published in wa Sine ee oe tied that he had given what purported to be an interview with him in Paper this morning. Dates ete PROMISE. Mra. Hebron Asks Once More for a Divorce. In a petition for divorce brought by Hen- rletta Hebron against Peter Hebron it is set forth that the couple were married in this city September 15, 1884, and lived together until August 20, 1892. Four chil- dren were born to them. Mrs. Hebron declares that on the date last mentioned her husband, without cause, deserted her, and since that time she has been obliged by her own toll and industry to obtain the small means with which to secure the necessaries of life for herself and children. Continuing, Mrs. Hebron says that December 14, 1895, she filed a Petition for divorce, but her husband came to her with many promises and protesta- tlons, saying that he would return to her and live with and support her and their children, and begged her to give him cne more chance, and she, relying on his prom- fees, had the suit dismissed. But, she Goes on to say, her husband failed to keep his promises, ‘and has remained away from her as before, and has contributed nothing to the support of his family.

His .iwheel collided with a five-year-old Pedestrian, son of Sam- uel Rosenberg of 604 4% street.

SMITH’S PROGRAM ss At Buzzard’s Bay last evening Pres‘dent Cleveland announced the appointment of €x-Gov. D. R. Francis of Missouri to suc- cced Mr. Hoke Smith as Secretary of the Interior. The relations between Mr. Cleve- land and Mr. Francis have long been inti- mate. Governor Francis took a strong stand in favor of the gold standard in the prelimi- nary battle for delegates to the Chicago convention, but he and his associates #vere beaten in his state. During the convention he was also very active. Since the con- vention he has, it is said by his friends, given no public utterance as to his pcsition with regard to the Chicago ticket, and so far as known has not, at least ac- tively, allied himself with the movement for the Indianapolis convention. Through- out his political career he has been a strong supporter ang warm friend of Mr. Cleve- David R. Francis of Missouri. land and the administration. When Mr. Cleveland was at Lakewood making up his cabiict prior to entering upon his second term, ex-Governor Francis was summoned there, and a strong impression existed for a time that he would be given a portfolio. He had been mayor of St. Louis and twice gevernor of Missouri, and before Mr. Cleve- Jand’s nomination the last time became a certainty was pressed for the presidential nomination. At the time he was talked of for a cabinet position it was said that he had been bitterly opposed by a faction in his state, and that a remonstrance against his selection was forwsrded to Mr. Cleve- lana. Governor Francis is well known in Washington. He has been here frequently, and is exceedingly popular. He was here cnly a few days ago, and it was thought when he left that he had gone to Gray Gables. Despite the high honors he has already achieved, he is still a comparative- ly young man, strong and vigorous and of a@ genial disposition. Although taller in stature, he somewhat resembles Secretary Morton in personal appearance. He has & ficrid complexion, sandy hair and mustache. He 1s said to be a man of considerable treans. He was said to be a millionaire a few years ago. Ex-Governor D. R. Francis is nearly for- ty-six years of age, having been born at Richmond, Madison’ county, Ky., October 1, 18%). His education was received in Wash- ‘ngton University, St. Louis, his fami- ly having move to St. Louis. In 1870 he graduated, receiving the degree of B. A. His first employment was with a grain commission house, continuing until 18° when he began business for himself. In 1884 the D. R. Francis & Brother commis- s'cn house was established, a result of the growth of his firm. That same year he be- came president of the Merchants’ Ex- change. His first political position was that of delegate to the national democratic convention of 1884. In April, 185, he was elected mayor of St. Louls, having been nominated as a dark horse on the 185th ballot. In 1888 Mr. Francis was elected governor of Missourl. At the expiration of his term in 1892 he resumed the manage- ment of his old friend, which had been kept up by the members of the house. What Secretary Smith Says. Secretary Smith briefly outlined his plans In an interview today. He said: “I will retire from office on September 1, and it is my purpose to return to Atlanta at once. My resignation was due alone to the fact that I intend to support Bryan and Sewell. I have always voted the reg- ular democratic ticket, and shall make no exception this year. It is my purpose to devote my time to the practice of law and to my private business. I have, however, signified my willingness to make two or three speeches in Georgia for the state and national ticket, but the time necessary for the resumption of attention to my profes- sional aad private business will not permit me to enter actively into the campaign out- side of my own stat Gov. Francis’ Arrival. Gov. Francis, Secretary Smith’s succes- sor, will reach Washington some time be- fore Tuesday, and is now closing up his affairs in Missourl.

DISTRICT AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN To Test the Law for Preventing a Nuisance From Garbage Oollecting. Vani ium to Be Checked at the Volta, Bureau—Disorderly Con- duct in Boston. Thomas Jubiter, a colored laborer, aged twenty-six, was arrested this morning by Policeman Connors upon complaint of a health inspector on two charges of violat- ing the health regulations. He was charg- ed with collecting garbage without a per- mit, and with dropping refuse on the street. In case a conviction is secured it will have a large bearing on similar cases. Jubiter lives on G street in Washington, and with a cart was collecting oyster and clam shells from different eating houses in this section of the city. It was while so engaged on M street that he was arrested, some of the liquid matter from the shells draining on the street. The cart, which had a heavy canvas cover, was taken to the station yard, while the man was locked up. The shells collected in this manner are taken to lime kilns and burned, or el taken to gas houses and burned, along with the coal-making materials, to purify the illuminant. All over the city carts are engaged in this business, and in case a conviction is secured in this matter the effect will be widespread. The case will come up in the Police Court tomorrow. Vandalism at the Volta Bureau. The acts of vandalism at the Volta bu- reau, at 35th and Q stregts, the magnificent building erected by Professor Bell for the diffusion of knowledge among the deaf and dumb, have been on the increase of late, and more severe measures will be taken to break up the practice. Small signs have been painted ard placed in position around the front of the building warning people against committing any unlawful acts. These have had a partially salutary effect, and to prevent further acts of vandalism, one or two ests will probably be made. Disorderly Conduct. Ossie Ridgley and Laura Harris, two col- ored characters in Boston, were arrested this morning by Policeman Hansel on a charge of being drunk and disorderly. On the way to the station in the patrol wegon the women attempted to jump and roll out of the vehicle. Policeman Milton Fisher, in charge of the patrol, had a hard time man- aging the two prisoners. He finally landed them at the station, where they were placed in a cell together. Charch Enterprise. Rev. Joseph C. Mallon, pastor of St. Ann's Church, Tenleytown, and his parish- foners are engaged in an effort to reduce the debt that oppresses the parish.

She Wai in a Hilarious Mood and Smashed Things, Last night when Ollie Stetson, an inmate of a house in the “Division,” went in the Mount Vernon Pharmacy, she thought things were too quiet. And so she proceed- ed to make herself an attractive feature at the soda fountain. Then she proceeded to give an exhibition of high kicking, and in so doing she knocked off a soda glass hold- er, She next threw soda in the clerk's face and followed up this conduct by throwing glasses and bottles of magnesia at the clerk, James Bragonia, in addition to smashing show cases and some of the stock in the store. The drug clerk was found lying behind the counter, suffering from a severe wound between his eyes, and Henry Demaine, the well-known wheelman, who went to the clerk's rescue, arrested the girl. lt seems that Ollie had been drinking, and when she called at Dr. Prentiss’ drug store and asked the clerk to telephone for a cab the latter told her that the "phone was out of order and could not be used. Leay- ing there she went out on the sidewalk and gave an exhibition of high kicking and fancy dancing for the benefit of the people at the street car junction. A wheelman who happened to be standing there was not willing to let the woman ride his wheel, but she was willing to make the attempt. From there she went to the Mt. Vernon store and did her own telephoning. “Send up a cab to take me home,” she sald over the wire. “I'm the clerk in the store, but I'm a little full and want to go home. Don’t tell the proprietor, because I'll get discharged. Then she called for a lemon phosphate, and following the drinking of the beverage came the trouble. “Mr. Bragonta,” said Prosecuting Attor- ney Mullowny in the Police Court toda: “describe the difference in the place be- fore and after her visit.” “The store was very badly demolished afterward,” he answered. Ollie said that the clerk threw some soda in her face, because she refused to pay for her glass of soda, and then she threw everything on which she could get her hands. The throwing of the soda was de- nied by the clerk. Judge Mills heard the evidence, and, after delivering the young woman a lecture, im- posed a fine of $25, which was paid.
