It is not unlikely, at least that is the im- pression on the part of some of the lead- ing members of the body, that at the next meeting of the Carriage and Wagon Work- ers’ Assembly something may be said in reference to the statement, heretofore pub- lished, that in the event of the assembly electing delegates to the Central Labor Union, and the delegates applying for ad- mission to that body, the latter would decline to receive them, on the ground that it would be inconsistent with the present attitude of the American Federation of Labor toward the Knights of Labor to seat the delegates from an affillated body which was antagonistic to the A. F. of L., as is the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor, although the local body was a mem- ber of a national organization which was affilated with and working in harmony with the first named organization. As heretofore stated in The Star, the Car- riage and Wagon Makers’ Assembly of this city has determined to be hereafter asso- ciated with the International Association of Carriage and Wagon Makers, but at the same time they desire to continue their membership in District Assembly No. 66, Knights of Labor, and in the local Federa- tion. The action of the local assembly has not been taken hastily, and, as a matter of fact, a charter from the international or- ganization of the craft has been at the dis- posal of the former for nearly or quite two years, but it was only within the past few weeks that the members could see their MES entirely clear to take the step they ave. A leading member of the Carriage and Wagon Makers’ Assembly said to a Star reporter “that before the international body granted the charter to the former a member of the higher organization visited Washington and made a thorough investi- gation of all the trade conditions existing here, and that ever since the charter was granted and up to the present time they have Kept in touch with the affairs of the local assembly. “The International Asscciation of Car- riage and Wagon Makers is entirely satis- fied with the position that the local assem- bly has assumed in the matter, and tae proper authorities here so expressed them- selves. As a matter of fact, we are not in- terested in anything that the Central La- bor Union may do in reference to us, and it is not at all certain that we will seek edmission to that body. “We have been connected with District Assembly No. 66 for more than eleven years, and every advantage we have gain- ed since 1885 has been because (in most in- stances) our assembly was backed in its efforts by the District Assembly and the local Federation, and we would no more think of repudiating or withdrawing from those bodies than we would of undertak- ing the most impossible thing that might be imagined. ‘Among the improvements that have been made in our conditions through the encies I have referred to are an increase of pay amounting to nearly or quite 25 per cent; also a reduction of the working day to nine hours a day for five days of the week and eight on Saturday, besides other matters that might be enumerated. “The local Assembly of the Carriage and Wagon Makers is composed of about 125 of the best men of the craft to be found anywhere We will not scek a fight with the Central Labor Union, as the latter seems to be looking for, but we will not shirk if our rights are threatened.” Labor Day Celebration. The regular weekly meeting of District Assembly No. 66, Knights of Labor, was held last evening. The principal business transacted was the reception of the final report of the com- mittee appointed to arrange for the cele- bration of Labor day. General Worthy Foreman M. J. Bishop and General Secretary-Treasurer J. W. Hayes of the national organization of the K. of L. were present. Mr. William Silver, chief marshal for the Labor day parade on the part of the Cen- tral Labor Union and the Building Trades Council, sterday secured the consent of the police authorities to have the street cars stopped during the time occupied by the line in marching on Pennsylvania ave- nue. It was understood, however, that there must be no big gaps in the line on the part of the marchers, otherwise the cars = be permitted to push through the pa- rade. The Laborers’ Protective Union, of which Mr. Philip Crutchfield is president and Mr. M. Johnson secretary, has arranged for a unique demonstration on Labor day at Robinson's Park, corner of 18th street and Florida avenue northwest. The exercises will be opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Howard, after which there will, it is expected, be addresses by Rev. Dr. George Wellington Bryant of Balti- more, Recorder of Deeds Taylor, Messrs. John M. Langston, Thomas L. Jones, Jesse Lawson, J. M. Ricks and others. The pro- gram comprises a picnic, lamb slaying, a cake walk and a grand march, the latter commencing at 11 a.m. Any profits that there may be on the occasion will be given to Salem Baptist Church. > Atlantic City—Cape May via B. and o.

The bill in equity filed yesterday by the Bradley & Currier Company, Limited, of New York city against W. Andrew Boyd and others was for the purpose cf collecting an alleged indebtedness of $540, and not to enforce @ judgment. The complainants allege that July 24, 1896, they filed a suit here against Mr. Boyd to recover the said amount, but that the marshal returned the prccess “not to be found,” and they assert that Mr. Boyd left the District some timo ago. They say that although they have made diligent search ana inquiry they are ureble to learn of his whereabouts. They ask, therefore, that his equity in lots 6 and %, block 13, Kalorama Heights, be sold to Satisfy the alleged indebtedness. Attor- neys W. H. Sholes and Hayden Johnson represent the complainants. ee THE COURTS, Equity Court No. 1—Judge Cox. “ Best agt. Best; testimony before Jas. A. Clarke, examiner, ordered taken. Cannon agt.

Warner's Review of the Political Situation. Significance of the Vermont Election —Hopeful of a Revival of Mr. B..H. Warner has returned from his vacation. When seen at his office today by a Star reporter, in response to inquiriés as to his opinion of the political situation, he said: “I,have no doubt at all of the election of McKinley and Hobart by a very large majority, for they represent the best sentiments of the American people in every department of life. A combination of clr- cumstances has brought to the republicin ticket this fall an indorsement and support which it has never received before. We find marching under this flag the most Prominent and progressive adherents to this party, and following closely behind them are the best representatives of the democratic party, who, while not very cor- dial in their support of Maj. McKinley, are led to indirectly aid in his election because of their patriotic regard for the future of the republic. “Comprehensively speaking, the support- ers of Bryan and Sewall, while including some of the prominent politicians of the democratic party, and some good men, are largely composed of men who have met dis- appointments in business, professional poli- ticlans who hope to ride into power on the new wave of popular discontent and the populistic and communistic forces of the country. In other words, the republican Party may be said to represent the reguiar ines or crthodoxy, while the Bryan and Sewall movement takes in all of the isms and side beliefs. The Vermont Election. “I regard the expression of public senti- ment as indicated in the Vermont elec- ticn as very significant. Hard times have prevailed in this state as well as elsewhere. It 1s harder work to raise crops on the farm lands of Vermont than on the f:rtile prairies of the st; it takes more real labor and sacrifice. The farmers have seen not only the prices of their crops, but also of their lands, sink very much in alue since the development of the great west. But, notwithstanding their dissatis- faction with the times, they were not mis- led by any alluring promises to hope that anything but the administration of public affairs on sound business principles would bring them relief. I am sure that their v:ew will be shared by a very large ma- jcrity of the American farmers after care- ful reflection upen the questions at issue. “It is an unusual spectacle to see the head of a presidential ticket traveling through the country endeavoring to stir up strife and discontent and attacking all the different departments of the govern- ment and promising to act as the great apostle of reform, which will bring certain prosperity. The President, the different branches of Congress, the Supreme Court and all the machinery of the government have been wrong, and a man who was employed in a comparatively obscure posi- ticn, at a small salary, steps out into the Fublic gaze, and because of his ability in the line of oratory is accorded a position which enables him to do a vast amount of damage. ‘Such a campaign as Mr. Bryan is wag- ing ts daily costing every man who is en- gaged in business more or less of his es- tate. Public confidence is being attacked and weakened, and if the doctrines he advo- cates prevail the future of the republic is in grave doubt. “It is most gratifying to see such promi- nent democrats as ex-Minister Phelps of Vermont, ex-Gov. Flower of New York and Senator Palmer and others, sacrificing their love of party to patriotic devotion of the country, and indirectly working for the success of the leader of the opposing po- litical party. After the Election. “I am sure after the campaign closes that confidence will increase. That is all that is necessary to set the wheels of busi- ness in motion. Men are not only losing faith in the administration of public affairs, but in their ability to make money. They wonder if opportunities for the proper transaction of business will ever return to them again. “I regard any prominent man who uses his time and ability so as to shake the faith of men either in religion, business or poli- lcs, as an enemy to the best interests of society. Mr. Bryan's mission of arraying the unprosperous against the prosperous is one of error and danger. = “Everybody admits that times are hard, and that there ought to be relief in some direction. I am sure the extensive study of finance that has been induced by the pres- ent campaign will lead to early legislation which will provide for a more elastic cur- rency. In the light of present events I think if the plan proposed two years ago by the leading financiers of Baltimore or that of Secretary Carlisle, with some modi- fications, had been adopted, either would have been of great benefit to the country. We need some provision of law that will enable banks to issue currency in times of stringency to meet the requirements of busine: As our financial affairs are now situated, banks for their own preservation are compelled to decline loans when they are most needed. The greenbacks ought to be retired, so as to remove a constant menace to the gold reserve of the treasury. The continued use of the greenback is un- businesslike and demoralizing. “I deem it the duty of every business man to take an active part in the cam- paign. I shall do everything in my power for the election of McKinley and Hobart. I expect to speak in many places in the fifth and sixth districts of Maryland within the next sixty days.” RAILROAD LAW VIOLATIONS. What Will Be the Course at the Com- ing Hearing in Chicago. a The interstate commerce commission will, as announced in The Star, begin the hear- ing of a number of charges of violations of the interstate commerce law against many of the r@iJroads centering in Chicago. The hearing 1s to be held in that city on the 18th"instant. It 1s stated that in arranging for the in- vestigation about to occur the commission has endeavored to take into consideration every technicality by which the object of the investigation can be defeated. In addition to the roads which were sum- moned to the last hearing, the following have been notified to have their represen- tatives on hand when the hearing begins, about two weeks hence: Minneapolis and St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Joseph and Council Bluffs, St. ouls, Keokuk and North- western, Chicago, Burlington and Kansas City, Burlington, Cedar Rapids and North- ern, Union Pacific, Burlington and Mis- souri River rallroad in Nebraska, Fremont, Elkhcrn and Missour! Valley, Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis, and St. Joseph and Grand Island. Circulars have, it 1s stated, been sent, by authority of the commission, to the man- agements of all the roads interested calling for. specific information and full details regarding the following, and the replies of the companies must be filed with the com- mission by the 14th instant, covering the practice of rebilling, reconsigning or car- rying of grain on balance of rate from Missouri river points east via Chicago, St. Louis or other gateways; length of time cars are stopped in transit, loading and unloading, and the passing of the grain through the elevators, and where such ship- ments lost their identity. It will be remembered that at the recent investigation by the interstate commerce commission in Chicago the testimony given by President Stickney of the Chicago and Great Western as to some of the practices of certain railway officials in transporta- tion matters was so sensational in its na- ture as to cause the further investigation in the manner referred to above. There are but few prominent railway officials who will not admit that many irregularities have crept into the service, and it is be- Meved that the railway managers them- selves are anxious to have all abuses done away with. It is expected that the proceedings be- fore the commission at its next meeting will be of an extremely interesting char acter, as the unfinished business of the last session wil again be taken up and the hearing of President Stickney’s testi- mony concluded, but many new matters concerning which complaints have been laid before the commissioners will be thor- oughly looked into. —o— Mcses’ Great Clearing Sale in progress.--Ad TOO MUCH CELEBRATION Some Who Were in-Oourt Today After Last Night's Demonstration. All the Chargés: Were of a Minor Character und Not a Few +Were(Dismissed. Henry Klots, azygung man who wanted to see the Chines: mbassador enter the capital city, went:to the depot last night and mingled in the crowd until the festivi- tes were brought to a close, so far as the general public was concerned, and then..he Started homeward. All evidences of the storm had disappeared and Henry, who felt as dry as the concrete pavement ap- peared, concluded that he would wet the inner man. Water was too weak for Henry, and so he got some “long beers” and then his tergue got so slippery that he made use of language which was far from elevat- ing. “I warned him to go home,” said Police- man Turner, “but he kept on vociferating profane language. What I said to him did no good, for he continued his vociferation. When he kept up his reiteration I arrest- ed him.” Why, your honor,” said the young man, “I had been talking to the officer, and I don’t remember that I used any bad lan- guage.” “Perhaps you had been much,” the court suggested. {7 wasn’t drunk,” the young man said. Yes, he was, your honor,” the Policeman interrupted. had started him in the house after his vociferation, and he turned around and said: ‘You — nayseed, ycu can’t do any more than arrest me,’ and then I arrested him.” ° Policeman Adams was called upon and he Save evidence against the defendant. “You will nave to pay a fine of $5," said the court. “I haven't the money this morning,” the defendant said, “and I hope your honor will let me have two days to pay the fine. The young man was vouched for and the court trusted him untl 4 p.m. today. Couldn’t Stand American Liquor. drinking too Mike Pitt, a man who can't stand Ameri- can Mquor any more than he can under- stand the English language, was in the proc ession, but he was unable to make him- self understood, except by means of an interprete ‘He was lying on the grass in the Capl- tol grounds,” said a Capitol policeman, “sleeping off bis drunk. I had him in court yesterday, but he was too drunk to be tried.” Mike's wife and a female friend were in court, and they tried to make an explana- tion, but it was un explanation that did not explain, and @ fine of $5 had to be paid. Policeman Harlow, who is an authority on Charles county politics, appears not to be an authority on law’ violations, for last evening he made an arrest for alleged disorderly conduct, but Judge Kimball could find no justification for his action. “This man,” the officer said, speaking of George Brown, “was at the Baltimore and Ohio depot yesterday, and I asked him what he was doing there. He had a badge, and when I wanted to know for what hotel he worked, he put: his hand over the badge and told me it was mone of my busines: vAnd Is that all?" the court asked. oGSs | mine? “And what's the charge?” Disorderly conduet."” se dism Andrew Jac a colored man, who wanted an umbrella yesterday afternoon, and who was caught helping himself to one in a countryman’s wagon at the market, was in the toils-as a vagrant and sus- picious person. 5 “He's been loitering about the market for some time,” the policeman said, “and yesterday he had his hand on the um- brella, when he saw he was discovered, and then he started to leave. “I don’t want to say anything,” he said when questioned, and the judge gave him sixty days. This Woman Ubt of. Mary Blue is. no longer the stylish color- ed woman she was when she appeared in court two years ago forthe first time. At that time her husband supported her and she dressed well, but now she works in a Chinese laundry, and her work ts so hard that she has not the time to give to her personal appearance. Vagrancy was the charge against her when she appeared in the toils this morn- ing. Policemen Turner and Adams were in court as witnesses against her and one of them told the judge that she did no work. = “I saw her with a can of beer last e men. Mary was unable to see where this com- plaint had shown anything against her. he beer she had bought at a licensed sa- loon, and certainly she had a right to talk to men. “And I do work,” she said, “and work hard. I go to work in the Chinese laundry at ) every morning and again at 6 o'clock in the evening.” “Case dismissed,” said the court. “Judge, your honor,” interrupted Police- man Turner, “J know of this woman, too.” “You're too late.” Took His Personal Bonds. A few weeks from now Willie Smith will celebrate his sixteenth birthday. He Is a newsboy and he came near having to pay the court the money he had saved for his birthday celebration. Willie works hard at his business, and yesterday he went out in the country for a little recreation. He took a rifle with him, intending to shoot birds, but he stopped inside the fire limits and discharged the rifle near a public road. “I found him between Brookland and Eckington,” Policeman Stroman said, “and he claimed he was ignorant of the law.” “If the policeman had told me it was wrong,” the boy said, “I would have stop- ped, but he arrested me.” “He only obeyed the law,” the court said. “This law against shooting is a good one, and is intended to protect life. It is a law which should:certainly be en- forced. But in this case the officer gives you a good name, and as you say you will not repeat the offense, I'm going to take your personal bonds. His collateral was returned, and he can now celebrate his birthday. Lemen Sellers Fined. Leite Guiseppe and David Zeigler, who sell lemons from baskets, were in court, charged with obstructing the sidewalk near tke market with their baskets. On another part of the sidewalk pushoarts are not con- sidered an obstruction, but Policeman Hern- don arrested these men. “I only had twenty-two lemons in my basket,” said Guiseppe, through an inter- preter. “The lemons ate mot charged as the ob- struction,” the court told him. “It’s the basket.” “It was only a little basket.” The other defendant made his statement, and the court fined them $1 each. Richard Goodall, cblored, was in the tolls for crap shooting, 8nd he was sorry that Judge Scott was not on the bench, because of the difference in the fines imposed. ‘The acting judge imposed fines as low as $1 in such cases, but! Judge Kimball usually imposed a $10 p€nalty, and this case was not an exception. Frank Smith, a colored man, was com- plained against by Sanitary Inspector Shep- herd for alleged nuisance. It was shown that the nuisance existed when he went to the house and the charge ogainst him was dismissed.

A Train on the Electric Road Thrown From the Track—Sam Small’s Political Addres: The Opera House was last night crowded to hear Rev. Sam Small, the noted evan- gelist and lecturer of Georgia, discuss the issues of the present presidential campaign, under the auspices of the Bryan, Sewall and Rixey Club of this city. The meeting Was called to order shortly after 8 o'clock by President M. B. Harlow, who announced that Mr. Frank E. Anderson would intro- duce the speaker of the evening. Mr. An- derson then Introduced Mr. Small. For two hous and a half Mr. Small spoke, and was loudly cheered all through his argument. He referred to the circulars being sent out by the railroad officials to their employes, telling them to vote for McKinley. He said that during the year of 1893 93,904 railroad men had been thrown out of employment in order that the salaries of officials of roads might be increased. Among the dem- ocrats on the stage were Wm. H. May, John M. Johnson, John H. Strider and others. This is the first of a series of meetings to be held during the campaign under the auspices of the club. Law and Order League Organized, _ There was a large and er.thusiastic meet- ing in the M. E. Church South last night to organize a citizens’ law and order league to co-operate with the Law and Order League of Alexandria County. Mr. George R. Hill was elected chairman. Upon tak- ing the chair Mr. Hill said that the citizens of Alexandria had been called together at the instance of the citizens’ league of the county to take steps to suppress gambling in the county and this city. ne following committee was appointed to secure tbe Signatures of law-abiding citizens to the league roster: G. Wm. Ramsay, Lawrence v hington, James Peverill, Frank J. Pol- jard, N. Greenway, A. H. Thompson, Jchn T. Harrison and E. B. Kemp. There were a large number of the most prominent business nen of this city pres- ert, and to a Star reporter ,several said that they intended to ferret out the gam- blers in a systeratic manner, and prose- cute them to the full extent of the law. Messrs. Ardiew Lipscomb and James R. Caton have been employed to assist the league in prosecuting the gamhiers to be tried before Justive Lane in the county on Thursday, September 10. A Cow on the Track. There came very near being a serious ac- cident on the Washington, Alexandria and Mt. Vernon electric railroad last night at the corner of Franklin and Royal streets in this city. When the 9:30 o'clock train from New Alexandria, where a cake walk had been in progress, consisting of a motor car and two trailers, reached the corner named above, Motorman Frank Hail saw a cow on the track. He shut off the current and ap- plied the brakes, but before he could bring his train to a stop the animal was struck with great force, killing it almost instantly. The two cars attached to the motor car were derailed, but fortunately did not turn over. No one was seriously hurt, although several were slightly bruised ‘by being thrown against the seats. A special train was immediately sent to the scene of the wreck, and conveyed the passengers to this city and Washington. The track was not cleared until an early hour this morning. The Police Court. Mayor Thompson this morning presided at the police court, and disposed of the fol- lowing cases: Mike O’Brien, Wm. McCuen, John Stewart, John Carson, Thomas Soser, Frederick Cunningham, Edward Myers, Charles Williams, Clifton Ross, John Web- ster, Charles Payne and George Davis, ar- rested by Special Officer Loving, charged with trespassing on the property of the Southern railroad. They were sent to jail for ten days. Jack Lee, colored, arrested by Officer Beach, charged with gambling, was fined $5. James Dudley, colored, ar- rested by Officer Wilkerson, charged ‘with assault and beating Rebecca Quill, colored, continued to obtain additional witnesses. To Reccive a Fraternal Visit.

Judge Kimball Says They W: Fined if They Don’t Pay. Judge Kimball is getting tired of the Police and the court having to occupy so much time in dealing with dog cases. The judge says he does not see the sense in there being 10,000 dogs in a city, anyhow, but if people will have them they must get tags. Hereafter in cases of failure to pro- cure tags he intends that a fine in addition to the license tax shall be imposed. Ex- ceptions, cf course, will be made where reasonable excuses are given. John Thomas, a colored man, was charg- ed with this offense today, and his excuse was that he had not been able to get $2 together to buy his tag. His pet dog, he said, is nothing but a puppy, and he had intended getting the tag, but people who owe him money will not pay him. “The idea of there being 10,000 dogs kept in the city is an outrage,” the court said, “and people who are too poor to buy tags will either have to give up their dogs or &0 to jail.” Thomas said that he loved his pet, but he did not want to go to jail for him, and that he was willing to turn him over to the poundmaster. For this purpose the court continued the case and told Thomas that tomorrow he must make a good showing or Bo to jail.

Mary Crown, » colored woman from Rich- mond, who has a white husband, made a complaint against a colored man named Cornelius Ashon before Judge Kimball to- Gay. She had rented rooms from him, and he said he had tried to get rid of her ve- cause she had not been prompt in the pa ment of her rent. This che denied, and charged that during a controversy about the rent he struck her with a brick. She could show ro bruises, and the court ac- cepted the man’s explanation as the correc version of the affair. The charge agains: him was dismissed, and the woman was paid $1.25 for her ‘attendance. Mary fre- quently makes complaints against others and is paid witness fecs about as often as is any other person.
