Am Interesting and Useful Organisa- tion for the Advancement of the Service. — The seventh annual convention of the National Association of Letter Carriers will be held at Grand Rapids, Mich., September 7 to 11. From its foundation at Mil- waukee, in 1889, it has steadily grown in all that goes to make the association prosper- ous and of benefit to its members. There are now 571 branch associations with the national association. With the exception of Chicago, which has fifteen branches, no city has more than one branch. From this it will be seen that 557 of the 620 free de- livery cities are members of an organiza- tion that has for its objects, as set forth in its constitution, to unite fraternally ll letter carriers in the United States for their mutual improvement; to seek im- provement in the condition of all by legis- lation or otherwise; to obtain and secure the rights of carriers as government em- Ployes and to strive at all times to promote the welfare of every member; and to create and mamtain the United States Mutual Benefit Association, as defined in the laws Emery A, Wilber. and constitution of the organization. There are about 13,000 letter carriers in the serv- ice, of which over 10,500 are members. The present officers of the N.A.L.C., elect- ed at Philadelphia last yea : Presi- dent, Richard F. Quinn, Philadelphia, Pa.; vice president, James Arkinson, Fall River, Mass.; secretary, John F. Victory, Wash- ington, D. C.; treasurer, Alexander Mac- Donald, Grand Rapids, Mich.; sergeant-at- arms, W. P. Ellis, Camden, N. J. Branch 142 is located in Washington, and is designated “Capital Branch, 142.” It was organized in 181, and reorganized last year. Of the 160 carriers in this city about 100 are members of the branch. The oflicers are: President, E. A. Wilber; secre- tary, F. L. Floyd; treasurer, Eugene Wal- ters; collector for the Mutual Benefit Asso- ciation, J. William Murphy; sergeant-at- arms, B. B. Bell. The delegates to the convention at Grand Rapids are Messrs. J. William Murphy, Frencn L. Floyd, Allen R. Searle and Samuel D. Boss. The Mutual Benefit Association connected with Branch 142 has forty-one members, and new applications are being received each month. The Mutual Benefit Associa- tion Is the insurance branch of the Na- tional Association of Letter Carriers, and {s run as a separate organization, being under the control of a board of trustees, of which Charles M. O’Brien of Cleveland, Ohio, is president. At each of the different offices there is a collector, who acts as sec- retary and treasurer for the branch of which he is a member. The Mutual Benefit Association pays to the families of de- ceased members $1,500 or $3,000, being half and full-rate policies, respectively, the as- sessment according to age at time of join- ing being 57 cents, which is the half rate, and $1.14, the full rate, at twenty years, and $1.60 and $3.20 at fifty-six years, the age limit of membership. The members cf the National Association of Letter Carriers are earnestly looking forward to the next assembling of Congress, when Senate bill 8058 will be taken up in the House and pushed to passage. This bill was intro- duced in the Senate at its last session by French L. Floyd. Senator Mitchell of Oregon, and by it the letter carriers will, after four years’ serv- Ice receive $1,200 in cities of the “first class.” The highest pay now being $1,000, it establishes a new grade. Mr. Emery A. Wilber, the president of the Washington branch of the association, was appointed a letter carrier March 4, 1867, when the carrier force was small, enly twenty-five men all told. 3. J.

Persevered in His Plan to Have Bryan Notified. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. LEWISTON, Maine, September 1.—The populist leaders, like Senator Allen, who have been opposed to notifying Mr. Bryan of his nomination by the populist national convention are denying that J. M. Bowler of Minnesota is the chairman of the notification committee appointed by the St. Louis convention. The Star has al- ready given the story of L. C. Bateman, telling of the meeting of the committee at the Lindell House and that Mr. Bowler was elected chairman and he (Bateman) secre- tary. The minutes of that meeting M. Bateman now has in his possession. After Mr. Bateman returned from the St. Louis convention he became fully convinced that Senator Allen end the populist leaders who are favorable to the plan of electing Bryan even if Watson is sacrificed never intended to notify Bryan. Mr. Bateman says that before leaving St. Louis he and other pop- ulists were satisfied that Senator Allen had this in view and was a traitor to the real Interests of the populist party. About the 6th of August Mr. Bateman wrote to Mr. Bowler of his belief that Sen- ator Allen and his followers never intend- ed to notify Mr. Bryan and proposed that they, as chairman and secretary of the committee, should proceed to notify Mr. Bryan, and that it should be done by mail. At the same time Mr. Bateman inclosed a notice informing Mr. Bryan of his nomina- Uon for the presidency by the populist na- tional convention, and asking Mr. Bowler to sign it as chairman of the notification committee. This Mr. Bowier did, and at He same time wrote the lettcr which fol- lows: The existence of this letter The Star co: respondent has known about for several days, but it was not until now that Mr. Bateman would consent to have it pub- lished. The letter follows: BIRD ISLAND, Minn., August 15, 1896. Hon. L. C. Bateman, Auburn, Me. My Dear Sir: Yours of the 12th instant at hand and read with much interest. The prepared notice inclosed by you I have signed, as requested, and return the same herewith. I believe with you that Mr. Bryan should be duly notified of his nomi- nation by the populist party national con- vention, and thus offered an opportunity to accept or decline. It is the right and privilege of the people’s party to know from his own lips just where he stands in relation to that party, and its proffered nomination. But unless you first obtain the sanction of a majority of the committee it would be exceeding our authority to notify him. If you have not the names and post office addresses of all the committee you might obtain them by writing to the chairman or secretary of our national com- mittee. Perhaps it would be better to write to both of them. I want to see Bryan and Watson elected. It is our only refuge from grave national peril. We must not, how- ever, permit the people's party to be made @ door mat of by Allen, Jones and southern shotgun, ballot-box-stuffing, false-counting democrats. We propose to do our duty patriotically. Let them do theirs, and all will be well. Very truly yours, (Signed) J. M. BOWLER. Mr. Bateman was seen by The Star cor- respondent and he reiterated what he had previously tuld him, that he had the names and addresses of all the notification com- mittee in his possession, and that at once upon hearing from Mr. Bowler he wrote to all of them, including Senator Allen, and that a majority of the committee had consented to the notification as proposed. It was the plan of Mr. Bateman to send the paper which had deen signed by Chair- man Bowler and himself informing Mr. Bryan of his nomination to Lincoln, Neb., 80 as to be there on his arrival from his eastern trip on the 6th of September. Sub- Sequent events changed that plan, as Sen- atcr Allen in a letter, already printed in ‘The Star, promised Mr. Bateman that he (Senator Alten) would notify Mr. Bryan at once cn his return from the east. Mr. Bateman says if this is done all well and good, but that Mr. Bryan must be noti- fied, and that if he expects the votes of the two million populists he must accept the nomination, and in a manner satisfactory to them. His acceptance must be in good faith; no half-hearted acceptance will do. HENRY M. SWEENEY’S WILL. Vi ble Property Devised to Differ- ent Heirs by the Dead Banker. The wiil of the late Henry M.

Many prominent politicians who are op- posing the free and unlimited coinaze of silver are watching,.with keen interest the prices of the white, metal in the markets of the world. They have been surprised that there is no upward tendency in its value in view of the debt-paying power it would have if Mr. Bryan is elected Presi- dent of the United, States, and a Congress favorable to free coinage should be elevicd. They say as the supporters of Mr. Bryan are claiming that he will he elected by an overwhelming majority and that the fight for free coinage 1° practically won, they would suppose silver, would jump up some- where in the neighborhood of a par value with gold at 16 to't. s Notwithstanding the general agitation in the cause of the white metal that has been going on within the past month, and in spite of the tremendous crowds that have greeted and cheered the democratic candi- date wherever he has gone, silver has lue during the las: month, when the average price has been lcwer than it was during the month of July. The prices of silver prevailing in Lon- don. where the value for the whole world is shown, during th as follows: Date e month of August are Price. Date. ou. During the mcnth of July the average daily price of silver in Lond»n was .2, showing a decided fall in its price. These facts are looked upon by many as remarkable, for it is said that if there is a feeling of confidence by several million of People that free coinage will be begun by this country the great opportunity now af- fcrded by it to pay debis should be recog- nized. If free silver should wir, silver that can now be bought for 53 cents would have a debt-paying power of one dollar, and double money in a year 1s generaily regarded as a first-class investment. Any stock broker in this country will seil silver in small or large quantities at prices ap- proximating those quoted in London. It is not even necessary for an investor to pay the full amount for the silver if he re- sorts to the well-known method of “buying on a margin.” Everybody knows that sil- ver could be bought by paying five cents en each ounce in place of the price quoted, and unless it should fall more than five pcints on an ounce the purchaser would retain his option on or equity in it until after the enactment of a free silver law. By pursuing this method $25,000 of debt could be paid with silver that could today be held by the above method by the pay- ment of $1,000 of current money. These facts are known to every one who has ever had any dealing through brokers’ offices. The fall in the price of silver {s a conun- drum to very many politicians. They be- Neved the agitation of the silver question and the fact that its advocates are per- fectly corfident that they will succeed In securing a law for the free and unlimited coinage of the metal would at least stiffen Erices, if it should not raise silver to $1.29 per ounce, which {t would be worth under free coinage, acccrding to the claims of some advocates of a free coinage act. oe BROKE Up A PARTY. Policemen Make an Unexpected Ap- penrance in n Poker Game. Last night about 10 o'clock Precinct De- tective Hartigan interrupted a poker game in the room of William H. Bradley at 909 ist street northwest. When the detective went to the house he met Mr. Burnside, the occupant, and asked if Mr. Bradley was at home. ~ “He is,” was Mr. Barnside’s quick re- sponse. “May Isee him™ + “Certainly,” respondcd’ Mr. Burnside. “Do you want to play?” “Yes,”* b “Go right up.” The officer obeyed, and when he entered the room he was recognized, but he toid the players to cash in their chips and not have any excitement. They obeyed, ani while matters were thus being arranged Acting Sergeant Hamilton called at the dcor and saw Mrs. Burnside. She had not seen the other officers enter, and so she went to the folding door of the parlor and called to the players: ‘For heaven’s sake jump out the window; two policemen are in the house,” In her excitement she tried to make Policeman Reynolds jump, but he exhibit- ed his badge and then she nearly fainted. Bradley, who is a printer, was enter- taining several government printing office employes at his table and he spent the balance of the night behind one of Lieut. Kelly’s iron doors. This morning in the Police Court Bradley pleaded guilty and begged the mercy of the court. Judge Mills gave him five days in jail and fined him $10. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Opening of What Promises to Be a Good Gun- ning Season. Meeting of a McKinley Club—Death of John H. Bowers—Other Mat- ters of Interest. The gunning season opened this morning and the sportsmen of this section cf the city celebrated the event by making a trip to the marshes of Virginia opposite George- town. While many went over with load- ed guns ready to bag game, there were plenty of others who went over to see if there was much game in sight. In neither case did disappointment result. The reed birds and the ortolans are numerous this year, and at present are in prime condi- tion. At daybreak the gunning commenced, and there was steady shooting almost ali cf the day. Game bags were well filled, so plentiful were the birds. McKinley and Hobart Club. The McKinley and Hobart Club of this place held a largely attended meeting last evening, which was full of enthusiasm. The headqvarters of the organization ave now lo- cated on Dumbarton avenue, and the pla: was decorated for the occasion. A number of speeches were made in favor of sound money. The names of a number of new memiers were added to the membership role. The resignation of P. Grey as se2- retary was read and accepted. Ralph Hew- lett and Loren Fisher were elected sec- retaries. The next meeting of the club will be held next week, at which it is ex- pected that a number of new members will be initiated. Stock Yard Prices. At the Arlington stock yards yesterday there were ninety-seven head of cattle of- fered, all but ien of which were sold at the following prices: Best, 3% and 4 cents per pound; good, 3% and 3% cents; me- dum, 2% an cenis; common, 2 tnd 3 cents. There were 486 sheep and lambs sold at the following quotations: Sheep, and 3% cents per pound; lambs, 4 and 5 ents; calves, 4% and 5% cents. There were ccws and calves which sold at from to $18 per head. The state of the mar- ket was fa! Death of Mr. Bowers. John H. Bowers, for some time past the Sperintendent of the coal business of Hen- ry C. Winship & Co. of this place, died Sunday at his home at Boyer’s Landing, along the line of the canal, near Hagers- town. The deceased leaves a widow and seven children to mourn his loss. He s a prominent citizen of Washington county and was fifiy-six years of age. Mrs. Ai- bert H. Bratt of this place is a sister of the deceased. Row of Three Houses. Mr. James Keliher of 1514 32d street is making preparations to build a row cf three new houses, prick front, at 514 and 1516 32d street, and the adjoining lots on either side. The work of demoliticn of the present structures has already be- gun, removing two old landmarks. Th new buildings will be erected within thre months, and will be a substantial improv ment to the street. Notes of Interest. Master Henry Crown of 1345 32d street is lying seriously ill with typhoid fever. The sewer at the corner of 32d street and Dumbarton avenue emits a very offensive odor. The stench fs so bad as to give the in:pression that there is some dead body in the basin. Miss Gertrude Holgate is at Newpor where she will spend some weeks amoag friends. Miss L. M. Keith of 3324 O street, who been spending several weeks at the resorts in northern New York, is expected to arrive home this week. irs. H. D, Cooke is at Beach Haven, where she will spend the month of September. PRINCE YTURBIDE ACQUITTED. Hearing on the Charge of Assault Preferred by His Valet. Prince Augustine Yturbide, dressed in his bicycle costume, appeared in Judge Mills’ court today and made answer to the charge of assault preferred against him by Thos. J. Carney, who had been his valet. ‘The prince is an athlete who weighs fully 200 pounds, while Carney is also a fine speci- men of manhood and weighs almost as much. Lawyer Fergusson represented the prince, while for the valet Lawyer Donald- son appeared, as he will represent Carney in the civil proceedings to be instituted. The trouble occurred in Mrs. Boyle's boarding house, where the prince has rooms. Last Saturday Carney called upon him and demanded $445 which he claimed was due him. There had been other trou- ble between them. It was stated in court that at one time when the prince went away he got the colored janitor of the Metropolitan Club to board Carney, mak- ing himself responsible for his board. The Lill amounted to $ and when the janitor demanded the money of the prince the lat- ter said he had given the amount to Car ney to pay him. Right here the prince's word was disputed by Carney. When they met in the prince’s room they had a regular knock-down fight, in which the prince came out victorious. ‘In stating his side of the case to the court Yturbide said he had had Carney in his employ at times during the past five years, but de- n.ed that he owed him any money. When Carney came to the witness’ room Saturday Carney, he said, acted in a surly manner. He told the prince: “I’m as strong as you are.” Following this up the prince said that Carney came toward him with his hand on his hip, and he did not intend to wait to see what he had in his pocket, and so slapped him over. Carney came at him again and he struck him several times and knocked him down. Carney’s side of the affair was somewhat different. He said he was sent for to call at the prince’s room, and when he got there he said to the prince, “I want my money, and I'm going to have it.” Then, he said, Prince Yturbide assaulted him without any provecation. He said he only went there to get his money and ex- plained how he had his hands resting on his hips when he entered the room. The colored janitor was examined about the bill contracted at the club, but there were no witnesses to the assault other than the participants, and the court decid- ed the affair was a draw. The prince was thereupon acquitted. PPELEPPEL IP ELSES DIS OI POP IG ES Liebig¢ ‘co itipins’s Extract of.

Kirsey of the new city post office has telegraphed to the receiver of Thorpe & Bond, contractors for the construction of that building, to send some one to Washington to finish the tower, which has been left in an uncom- pleted state. The men who were at work on the tower struck yesterday. The r men to 2 Stur reporter was that some of them had received no money for several weeks from the contractor for the iron work, Mr. Percy Overton. Overton, they said, was indebted to all who had been employed on the tower in sums ranging from $11 to $5, ard some of them who sor givcn for their course by the have families have been put to extreme inconvenience because their employer has not paid them promptly. They therefore decided that the only proper course for them to pursue in order to protect their own interests was to quit work, which they did, as above stated. Regarding a report in circu Overton would get other men to finish the tower, they said this was impessible until the men now out get their pay; that as the are members of the Bridge and Structu Iron Wor! Union, they would be pro- tected by their national organization, and that the local union would not permit their S 10 be supplied until a cash settle- with the men now out was made. Nearly all of today the nine men who truck stood around the gaie of the pos office yard on Pennsylvania avenue, hop- ing that some good news for them would he received by Mr. Kinsey from the re- sponsible parties in New York, and the sad countenances of some of them seemed to indicate that the money said to be due them could not come too quickly. Superintendent Kinsey, in speaking to a Star reporter regarding the strike, Said it was a source of regret to him, and he thought unwisdom on the part of the men, as they would certainly receive every dolla! due them or that would have become owing to them had they continued te work on the tower. “I do not believe,” he said, Overton has acted as he did, the men their wages, because he desired to keep them waiting; unfortunately, how ever, the iron work,’ about which Present trouble, was framed in two shop. and it has required much more time than was expected when the contract. wa+ awarded to Mr. jation that Mr. “that Mr. in not paying Overton, and this has led to delay in meeting his obligations It was expected that the work would have been completed so © time ago. anc this would have becn the case but for the causes I have mentioned, and in that event Mr. Overton would hav received the full Pay for the work, and could have settled with his raen.’ Mr. Overton w: it the head with a piec few days ago, and at is said. struck on | of falling brick ay} resent does not feel | able to leave his home. He siated, how- ever, that he would pay his men in full as ‘con as he gets the mone from those who owe it to him. : _NEW PUBLICATIONS. THE SEPTEMBER aes .
