Felicitations Pouring in on the Ver- mont Election. Ever since Maj. McKinley returned to Canton from Columbus he has received at his North Market street home an immense volume of mail and telegraphic matter. But the condition this week surpasses that of ary time sirce the campaign opened. Heavy as was the flood of telegrams and letters cn his nomination, it does not ap- proach that which has followed his letter of acceptance. The mail can no longer be handled in the ordinary manner of neatly tied packs, but is now @elivered in sacks, and the number of telegrams, were they counted, would be surprising in the highest degree. Such time as can be spared from callers and visiting delegations is being devoted by the major to personal attention to these messages. He has signed as high as 1,360 letters of acknowledgment in one evening, and still those requiring attention continue to accumulate. Yesterday added to the an- nouncements of new clubs and their greet- ings and the hearty indorsements of the letter of acceptance, came a flow of tele- grams on the Vermont result, which in re- publican circles seems to be accepted as a true indication of the result to follow in November. A few of the telegrams on this subject follow: Senator Redfield Proctor of Vermont, wiring from New York—“Vermont ratifies the nom.nation of our candidate. Campaign too short to make it unanimous, but was rapidly traveling that way.” John G. McCullough, North Bennington— “Vermont, not satisfied to scotch the snake, has killed it outright. The November land- slide js already here. The republican ma- jority is by far the biggest in its history, either during the war or since. Indications are that it will surely angpunt to thirty- five thousand and probably more. It is the precurser of the November landslide.” Alfred E. Watson, republican state com- mitteeman, White River Junction, ‘Vt.— “Vermonters have opened at last upon the free silver citadel erected by the popo- democrats at Chicago by a republican ma- jority rising 35,000 votes, 7,000 stronger than ever. Congratulations of a private.’ Gov. Woodbury wired from Burlington, Vt.—"The freemen of Vermont send greet- ings of thirty-five thousand majority to you, the exponent of protection, prosperity and sound money Vermont has ect the Let the column be kept well closed u iP. J. H. Manley wired from Augusta, Me.— “Vermont has covered herself with glory. Maine does not propose to be outdone by Vermont.” —_— +o +____ Death of Officer Clements. Policeman Thomas A. Clements, one of the oldest members of the force, died at his home, on 10th street southeast, about 1 o'clock this morning, after an illness of several weeks. He was seventy-four years old, and was a native of Prince George's county, but had lived here many years. In 1862 he was appointed a member of the police force, and during the thirty-four years of service he has figured in some hard battles. In 1876 he was nearly killed by @ perty of toughs in front of Providence Hospital. About two years ago, while do- ing rescue work at a fire in Southeast Washington, he was severely injured by an explosion, when a large piece of glass was blown in his side. For a number of years he was detailed for duty at the city post office, and recently, up to the time he was taken sick, he was detailed at the Dis- trict building. The deceased was ene of the best-known men in the department, and had seen as many years of active service as any other man in the department. Ar- rangements for his funeral have not yet been made. ————— One Colo: Woman Wounds Another. This moriing about 1:30 o’clock the door- keeper at the Emergency Hospital an- swered a call ard found a colored girl there who was suffering from an injury to the head. She appeared to be suffering from concussion of the brain, and was un- able to tell much about how she happened to get injured. She said“her name was Mary Burton, and that she had been brought te the hospital in a cab and left at the door. A womuen named Nannie, she said, struck her, but she was not able to give further details of the affair. Today the patient's condition was much improved, THE. EVENING STAR, ‘THURSDAY, SEPFEMBER~8, 189(-TWELVE PAGES. ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS The Printers of the City to Organise a Typo- graphical Union. Grand Democratic Mass Meeting To- might—Tramps Set Fire to a Grain Stack — Court Items. There was a business meeting of the Printers of this city last night to organize @ branch of the typographical union. The meeting was enthusiastic and was presided cver by Mr. J. H. Adams. Committees were appointed on by-laws and constitu- tion and permanent organization. It was decided to apply for a charter immediately after the committee on by-laws and con- stitution reports. All the men present free- ly expressed their views. The fact that a number of other printers who are not em- ployed on the Silver Knight, Senator Stew- art’s paper, were present and made appli- cation to become charter members of the new union, was very ¢ratifying to the members of Columbia Typographical Union who reside in Alexandria. The scale of wages will probably be fixed at about $12 a week. Among those who were present were Gecrge Hepburn, Thomas Clark, Mal- vin Page, Joseph Donohue, A. J. Simmons, Charles Webster, John A. Griffin, Charlies Sullivan, Edward Markell, Louts Adams, William Whitcomb and a number of others. The next meeting will be held next Tuesday for reports of the several committees. Democratic Mass Meet! There will be a grand democratic mass meeting, under the auspices of the Bryan, Sewall and Rixey Club of this city, at the opera house tonight, and it is expected that a large crowd will be present. Mr. Frank A. Anderson has secured the following speakers for the evening: Ex-Representa- tive Irvin Dungan of Ohio, Rev. Sam. Small of Georgia and Mr. Alfred J. Stofer of the Richmond Dispatch. General Dungan, who 1s an ex-member of Congress, is a man of fine appear. , and an able speaker. Rev. Sam. Small’s reputation as a lecturer and speaker 13 well known to the people of Alexandria. Mr. Stofer is a newspaper man of wide reputation. He was with the Bryan party on his trip from coln to New York. He will give an account of his trip. The Alexandria Drum Corps has been engaged for the occasion. Police Report. Mayor Thompson presided at the police court this morning and disposed of the fol- lowing cases: Israel Harris, colored, a driver of J. Dry fus & Company, charged, by Detective Burroughs. of .Georgetown, with stealing wire from the Washington, Alexandria and Falls Church railroad; was held for the Washington authorities. Israel Dryfus, arrested for having re- ceived the stolen wire on Sunday morning last, was held for further examination, un- der $500 bond. Jno. M. Johnson, attorney, represented Mr. Dryfus, and Mr. Marbury the commonwealth. Richard Burnett, arrested as an acces- sory to the stealing of this wire; was dis- missed, but held as a witness. It is thought that under certain promises made him by the police the other arrests were made, and in this way he will escape punishment. Mike Laubheimer, abusive language; dis- missed, United States Court. The following business was transacted in thefUnited States court, Judge Robert W. Hughes presiding, yesterda United States agt. H. M. Owens, former postmaster at Waterfall, Prince William county, indicted for embezzling money; plea of guilty; jury, and verdict of guilty, and penalty fixed at six months in the Kings county, N.

Fairfax county, indicted for forging an order for a registered letter; Jury, and verdict of not guilty. The case of J. R. Murray, indicted for a viclation of the internal revenue laws, was continued, after which court adjourned for the term. To Build a New Church. There was a largely attended mecting of the congregation of the Mgthodist Episco- pal Church South last night to consider the advisability of starting the building of the new church. A resolution was adopted au- thorizing the building committee to proceed with the building. The building committee will not, however, give out the contract at present, owing to the lateness of the sea- son. The names of several of the congre- gation who have contributed largely to the building fund are in the hands of the com- mittee. Grain Stacks Set Afire. Tramps last night set fire to two stacks of grain belonging to Mr. John Colbert, a farmer living near Four-Mile Run, in Al- exandria county. One of the stacks con- taired about 500 bushels of rye and the other about 400 bushels of oats. Both were entirely destroyed. Several tramps were seen to go into the field where the grain was stacked and touch a match to it. The tramps fled, and as yet have not been apprehended, although the authorities are using every effort to capture them. Funeral of Mrs. Reynolds, The funeral of the late Mrs. Annie M. Reynolds, whose death was mentioned in The Star, took place from Grace Episcopal Church yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock. It was attended by a large number of the friends of the deceased. The services were conducted by Rev. Clarence E. Ball, rec- tor, and the interment was in the Union cemetery. The pallbearers were Messrs. James R. Caton, Sherwoud, Jack Boyd, Edelin and Charles Steiner. Notes. Frank E. Anderson of this city will speak at a democratic mass meeting to be held at Manassas on Monday next. The other speakers will be Mr. Rixey, the democratic nominee for Congress, and Judge McCabe of Loudoun county. Quite a number of the young society peo- ple of this city will attend the ball to be given at Fairfax Court House tomorrow night. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Green have returned frcm Pennsylvania-and New Jersey, where they have been spending the summer. Dr. Julian Miller and Mr. Ashby Miller have returned from Sandy Springs, Md., where they have been sojourning for the past two weeks. Mr. DeW. Aitcherson had a narrow es- sape from being seriously injured by the falling of a heavy piece of timber while superintending some work on his wharf. Miss May Miller of Baltimore is the guest of her friend, Miss Lizzie Folmar, on Up- per King street. Mrs. M. J. Lawler of Norfolk is visiting Miss Maggie Lawler on Wilkes street. —— ee PAYING PENSIONS. Apprehension of Delay Owing to a Reduced Force of Clerks, There ts a prospect that pensioners who draw their money from the Washington pension agency will meet with delay in getting their checks. This is due to the fact that the force of thirty clerks em- ployed under the old system, under which the pensioners went in person to the agency to get their checks, was cut down by one- half, in view of the prospect that under the new law the office would have the whole month in which to mgke out the necessary papers 80 as to mail them at the proper time to various pensioners. Whether there really is a shortage of clerks or the rumor of delay is a pretext for restoring the former force is not yet fully apparent. Pension Agent Willson ex- presses confidence in the ability of his force to meet the demands to be made on it. —____--_____. A Bounty Decision. The acting controller of the treasury yes- terday rendered a decision in effect that the transfer from the voluntecr service to the regular army, although in the form of new enlistment, for the balance of the unexpired volunteer term of enlistment, is not such an enlistment as to entitle the soldier so transferred to veteran bounty. The service in the two branches of the army is held to be a continuous service. THE DEED WAS MURDER John Sites Wanted for Killing Oonmd Plock. The Death Blow Struck Nearly » Month Ago in a Row at Heurich’s Brewery. Conrad Plock, who was struck on the head with @ brick about three weeks ago, is dead, and the police are now looking for John Sites, his colored assailant, on a charge of murder. The assault, which ended in the death of Plock, was committed on the 12th of last month, im the stable at Heurich’s new brewery, near the foot of 26th street, where both men were em- ployed. Plock was engaged by the brewer as cooper, and was on the brewery pay rolls, while Sites was employed as a helper on one of the wagons, and, as such, he was paid by the driver of the wagon. His business required his presence about the stable at different hours, and while there about a month ago he had a dispute with the cooper, and, it is said, the latter struck him. ‘This irritated the colored man, and he made use of threatening language toward the cooper. The injury he received Was not very serious, but he felt that he had been disgraced, and that he must in some way get even with Plock. This affair happened about 3 o'clock in the morning, and, so far as Piock was concerned, it was ended when they separated. ation, and he was seen abovt the brewery a number of tmes, as if he were looking for the man with whom he had trouble. Just one week after the drst trouble they met in the sta- ble, and then, it is chargec, Sites threw the brick with deadly effect. The police of the third precinct knew but little of the affair for several days, and the colored man had plenty of time to get far away before they realized how serious an as- sault had been committed. The injured man was rendered unconscious by the blew, and he was conveyed to Gartleld Hospital, where he received every at tion possible. His skull was fractured,and the physicians realized how seriou was his condition, Still they made every effort to save him. For a few di his condi- tion recmed to isnprove, but he became worse, and’ this died. @ week ago morning he Sites Gone, Soon after life had left his body the po- lice were nctified, and now they ar deavoring to locate the fugitiv thcught that he has left the cit Sites is described as being twenty-seven years old, brown skin, smooth face. and about 5 feet 9 or 10 inches tall. A de- scription of him has been telephoned to the various precincts, and the assistance of the authorities of other cities be asked. The coroner has been notified and will probably hold an inquesi tomorrow.
